Chapter 26: Running Away

Zhang Yu Ying studied her friend's face for a while. Seeing the same calm look on Ye Qing Xin's face made her sigh.

Turning around, Zhang Yu Ying took out the tablet beside her and placed it on the table. "I have the recording of you leaving your office until the accident. You can see for yourself.

Ye Qing Xin hesitated for a few seconds. Then, she pressed the play button and watched the video.

On the screen, Ye Qing Xin could see herself running out of the building in a hurry.

Seeing the way she constantly looked back at the building made her feel as if she was running away from something. Ye Qing Xin could not see her expression well, but she could tell that the person in the video was panicking.

What happened?

Ye Qing Xin in the video entered the car and drove away. Once she entered the main street, Ye Qing Xin has been speeding.

Ye Qing Xin was quick to notice that Zhang Yu Ying had combined a few footages to follow her. Some of them were from the traffic recordings while some were from the buildings nearby.

It was no denying that Zhang Yu Ying had done her best to help her find the recording so that she would understand what was going on.

The video duration was around twenty minutes.

However, Ye Qing Xin did not dare to fast-forward the video as she was afraid that she might miss anything.

Her heart tightened when she realized that they were entering a familiar scene. She was reaching a corner but did not slow down.

Ye Qing Xin watched as the car swiveled before she finally lose control of the vehicle and crashed at the side. The impact was too hard that the front of the car was deformed. The building in front of her was badly damaged.

Previously, Ye Qing Xin had watched a few news articles on the accident. But watching this video made her heart race, especially knowing that the person in the vehicle was herself.

Her family had once mentioned that the car accident was so bad that they thought it was a miracle for her to survive. Now that she had watched the video, Ye Qing Xin had agreed with her family.

With how she has been speeding and how the car had crashed, it was really a miracle that she had survived.

But the video made her feel guilty.

Fortunately, she did not kill anyone with her reckless driving.

But, why was she in a hurry to leave the office? Where was she heading to?

Ye Qing Xin had tried to figure out the answer through her family members. However, they did not know the reason she was such in a hurry.

The room was quiet. Zhang Yu Ying did not say anything as she wanted to allow Ye Qing Xin to gather her thoughts. She watched as Ye Qing Xin heaved a sigh and finally decided to speak, "Are you thinking about the reason why you were in a hurry that day?"

Ye Qing Xin snapped out of her thoughts and raised her head. She met Zhang Yu Ying's gaze and nodded. "Everyone said that I am a cautious driver. Then, why would I be speeding and driving dangerously that day?"

Zhang Yu Ying pursed her lips. She motioned for Ye Qing Xin to return the tablet to her.

Then, Zhang Yu Ying tapped her fingers lightly on the screen. She looked at Ye Qing Xin again before passing the tablet to her friend again. "Here. Take a look."

Ye Qing Xin had a puzzled look on her face. She took the tablet from Zhang Yu Ying, wondering just what her friend wanted to show her.

The screen showed the same office building as well as the same vehicle parked at the parking spot.

Ye Qing Xin raised her head again with a puzzled look in her eyes. She could not understand what her friend wanted to show to her. "What is it?"

"Look at the timestamp," Zhang Yu Ying said. "This recording was taken ten minutes before you come out of the building and met an accident."

Zhang Yu Ying leaned forward and tapped her fingers on the screen to show her friend that the twenty minutes video had a different timestamp than the one she was showing her at this time.

Ye Qing Xin was quick to realize that the time duration between the two videos were different as well.

Then, something happened a few minutes earlier before the accident?

Her heart was beating fast. Her curiosity was aroused. Ye Qing Xin wondered just what she will see from the video.

Her finger finally moved to press the play button on the screen.

Just like the last time, Ye Qing Xin saw herself walking out of the office building again. However, this time, her steps were casual and relaxing. She entered her vehicle and drove away from the parking spot.

Her brow furrowed deeper as she watched the recording.

Ye Qing Xin shifted her eyes to the time duration and saw that the video was still moving.

A few people were coming out of the building and heading somewhere.

Then, Ye Qing Xin saw her vehicle return to the parking spot again. She watched herself going back into the company's building with the same leisurely steps.

From the look at it, it seemed that she was on her way back when she remembered something and decided to return to the company.

Her eyes were still glued to the screen.

There were a few minutes left of the video and Ye Qing Xin was watching everything patiently.

Suddenly, she saw herself coming out of the building again. This time, she was coming out in a hurry.

Ye Qing Xin noted that it was the same as the beginning of the first video. The same hurried steps and the same panicked look on the face.

She looked at the time stamp and saw that it was the same as the first.

Her eyes narrowed. Ye Qing Xin could not help but wonder if something happened while she was inside the building.

Zhang Yu Ying drank her tea before putting down her phone. She looked at Ye Qing Xin again and spoke, "After watching that recording, I figured that something might have happened to you when you entered the building again. I wanted to find out what happened inside the building, but Xin Xin, that is your company and I don't feel right looking into the CCTV recording without your permission."

Ye Qing Xin pursed her lips into a thin line as Zhang Yu Ying continued to tell her about the recordings. Her fingers were tapping her thigh softly as Ye Qing Xin weighed her decision.
