Chapter 154: Miniature Camera

Yin Zhao-an's wardrobe was mostly filled with simple hooded sweatshirts and her favorite high-collar sports jackets.

Tang Yu's hand stopped on a white jacket, a flash of joy flickering in her eyes. Grabbing the jacket, she showed it to Yin Zhao-an and asked, "Can I wear this?"

The jacket had a white base decorated with dark green stripes on the shoulders. It gave off a youthful vibe and suited Tang Yu quite well.

Yin Zhao-an was also satisfied with this article of clothing, and her eyes narrowed as she recalled buying this white-green jacket while shopping with Tang Yu before.

There were two of these jackets being sold at the time, but one had dark-green stripes while the other had wine-red stripes. However, as the shopkeeper had tried to rip them off because of how young they looked, Tang Yu angrily dragged her away from the store. Later on, while Tang Yu was trying out clothes in another store, Yin Zhao-an quickly ran back to the store and bought those two jackets.

But after purchasing the jackets, Yin Zhao-an had never taken any of them out of her wardrobe. She didn't think that the first time one of these jackets got taken out would be because of Tang Yu.

As soon as Tang Yu stepped into the bathroom to change, Yin Zhao-an got off the bed and searched her wardrobe, finding the sports jacket with wine-red stripes in no time.

When Tang Yu left the bathroom, she saw a tall and lean girl standing in the bedroom, wearing a sports jacket of similar design, but in a different color, as her.

Immediately, Tang Yu remembered where she had seen these jackets before, and she couldn't help but frown as she asked, "...Did you buy these jackets from that mall we visited that day?"

Yin Zhao-an grinned and walked over to embrace Tang Yu's shoulders, saying, "Don't worry. I bargained with the shopkeeper, so I didn't buy these jackets at the initial price."

"...I see." Tang Yu remained skeptical, but she didn't say anything more.

Tang Yu didn't take the taxi back to school. Instead, Yin Zhao-an called her driver, and she followed Tang Yu to her school.

Originally, Yin Zhao-an had planned to leave after dropping off Tang Yu at her university's entrance. However, she suddenly thought of Tang Yu's roommate, Wu Na, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. So, she insisted on escorting Tang Yu to her dormitory.

There were no classes in the afternoon, so Guo Yifan had left for the library while Wang Feifei was sitting at her desk with her earphones on, listening to something. As for Wu Na, she spent most of her day in bed, only getting out to use the bathroom and get the food deliveries she ordered.

When Tang Yu entered the room, she did so carefully so as to avoid disturbing the dormitory's peace. However, Wang Feifei still took notice of the door opening and turned around to find a tall and beautiful girl standing behind Tang Yu. Immediately, she silently looked at Tang Yu with an inquiring gaze.

"She's my childhood friend," Tang Yu whispered.

Wang Feifei nodded in understanding and signaled for them to be quiet as she gestured at a nearby bed. Seeing this, Tang Yu silently exchanged a knowing glance with Wang Feifei.

Yin Zhao-an naturally saw the interaction between Tang Yu and Wang Feifei, and she couldn't help but frown when she discerned the meaning behind their actions. She didn't think that the relationships in this dormitory had already become so tense.

Unaware of Yin Zhao-an's thoughts, Tang Yu had Yin Zhao-an sit at her desk for a bit while she went to retrieve her clean laundry from the balcony.

Tang Yu's bed curtain was a fresh green color, and she would keep it open every morning for ventilation. Her blanket was also neatly folded and set aside on the bed.

Whilst admiring her beloved's bed, Yin Zhao-an suddenly noticed something, and her eyes narrowed dangerously. Carefully, she climbed onto Tang Yu's bed, knelt on it with both knees, and reached for a hidden speck of light in the corner with her hand.

When Tang Yu returned, she saw Yin Zhao-an sitting at her desk, playing with a condenser microphone curiously.

Noticing Tang Yu's return, Yin Zhao-an motioned for her to lean in with her index finger. Tang Yu obediently leaned forward, thinking that Yin Zhao-an had something to say to her. But then, Yin Zhao-an held down the back of her neck and kissed her.

Wang Feifei noticed from the corner of her eyes that Tang Yu and Yin Zhao-an had moved their heads close to each other. However, she didn't think much of it and simply thought it was just two childhood friends whispering secrets to each other. So, she quickly returned her focus to the computer before her.

Meanwhile, Tang Yu was startled and dared not make any big movements. Even her breathing had become cautious.

Yin Zhao-an quickly released Tang Yu and got up from the chair. Then, with one hand in her pocket, she gently flicked the forehead of the blushing person before her and whispered in the other party's ear, "I'm going back now. Don't forget to think of me."

It wasn't until several minutes after Yin Zhao-an had left that Tang Yu snapped out of her daze and covered her blushing ears with her hands, inwardly cursing at Yin Zhao-an's brazen behavior.

Meanwhile, as soon as Yin Zhao-an stepped out of the dormitory, the mischievous grin she wore instantly vanished, transforming into a solemn expression. A fierce glint also flashed in her eyes as she tightly clenched the miniature camera in her pocket.

Early morning.

Tang Zhengyang woke up to the sound of the doorbell ringing urgently. When he saw that Yu Wanrou was still fast asleep next to him, he quickly put on a coat and went downstairs.

When Tang Zhengyang opened the door, the doorbell finally stopped ringing. Then, he found Yin Zhao-an standing at the door with a laptop in her arms, dark circles under her eyes.

The two sat in the living room. By now, Tang Zhengyang had already straightened himself up. After pouring a glass of water for the exhausted Yin Zhao-an, he carefully looked at the information on the computer.

Yin Zhao-an had yet to start studying computer science, and the best she could do was uncover the IP address to which the miniature camera was linked with. So, she decided to come to Tang Zhengyang for help.

Originally, Yin Zhao-an could have gone to one of the technicians working for her father's company to trace the miniature camera's IP address and destroy all the images of Tang Yu that were on the stalker's computer. But she dared not do so for fear that images of Tang Yu changing clothes might have been taken. The last thing she wanted was for unrelated people to see her beloved's unclothed body.

So, the only person she could rely on was Tang Zhengyang. He would definitely have a way to ensure Tang Yu's images remained unseen.

Meanwhile, Tang Zhengyang's body became rigid after listening to Yin Zhao-an's discovery, his anger apparent. He knew his daughter's personality well. Tang Yu would never offend others, so how could someone be targeting her?

While Tang Zhengyang pondered how he should proceed with this situation, his phone on the coffee table suddenly rang. When he saw the caller ID, his knitted brows loosened, and a glint flashed in his eyes as an idea came to his mind.

"Okay, I'm home now. You can come over."

After exchanging a few sentences, Tang Zhengyang's solemn expression visibly loosened.

"Someone will come over later. He used to be a technical specialist for the army and is now working for my unit. This matter will be solved easily with his help."

"Really?" Yin Zhao-an's eyes sparkled with expectation. At the same time, she tried to think of ways to rescue Tang Yu from this dire situation. After all, since Wu Na had already planted a hidden camera on Tang Yu's bed, there was no saying what she might do in the future.

After about ten minutes, a handsome man in a white T-shirt and a short crew cut appeared in the living room. The man wore an emotionless face, and he radiated a faint hint of bloodlust. When he saw Yin Zhao-an sitting in the living room, though, he couldn't help but be stunned and turned to look at Tang Zhengyang in confusion.

"This is my niece. No need to worry," Tang Zhengyang said to the handsome man. Then, he introduced the man to Yin Zhao-an, "An-An, this is the technical specialist I mentioned. His name is Gong Jun. You can call him Brother Gong."

Although Gong Jun wore an unfriendly and imposing face, and he was also tall and muscular to boot

Yin Zhao-an stood up and faintly smiled. Then, without any sense of inferiority, she extended a hand to Gong Jun and called out, "Brother Gong."

Originally, Gong Jun thought the girl before him would react abashedly as most of the other young women he had met in the past. However, when he looked into the eyes of the girl who was only slightly shorter than he was, he saw a hint of playfulness anda hint of suggestion?

Gong Jun raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he stopped paying attention to Yin Zhao-an after shaking hands with her. Instead, he turned to Tang Zhengyang and asked, "Did something happen, Brother Tang? You don't look too good."

After gesturing for Gong Jun to take a seat, Tang Zhengyang began telling Gong Jun of Yin Zhao-an's discovery. Then, with a look of concern, he pointed at the asked, "Can you help me locate the terminal that the camera is connected to?"

"No problem," Gong Jun said. Then, he turned to Yin Zhao-an and asked, "Did you bring the camera with you?"

"I did," Yin Zhao-an said as she took out something from her pocket and handed it to Gong Jun.

After receiving the bean-sized camera, Gong Jun swiftly tapped away at the computer and uncovered an IP address. Then, with a hint of surprise, he muttered the words "Wu Na" and laughed.

Choosing to ignore Gong Jun's strange behavior, Tang Zhengyang asked, "Is it her?"

Shaking his head, Gong Jun said, "No, she's only a mediator. I am still looking for the true owner of the camera. But" Then, he turned to Tang Zhengyang and asked, "Is your daughter studying had the Communication University of China, Brother Tang?"

"Yes, why?"

Leaning back a little, Gong Jun narrowed his eyes and said, "We were previously assigned to oversee the military training of the freshmen there. As it so happens, we came across this Wu Na."

"Did you come into conflict with her?"

"She blackmailed Shuyang. I hacked into the surveillance system of the bar they visited and found that someone added something to Shuyang's drink. Then, that Wu Na brought him into a hotel," Gong Jun coldly said, his voice carrying a hint of anger and disdain.

Rather than focus on the point Gong Jun was emphasizing, Tang Zhengyang took notice of another point. In a low voice, he asked, "You guys went to a bar while assigned to oversee the training of students?"

Realizing his slip-up, Gong Jun faked a cough to hide his mistake. Then, he quickly changed the topic as he focused his gaze on the computer and said, "Oh, I think I found her conversation history."

This wasn't a false statement. He had indeed uncovered Wu Na's conversation history. He had even singled out a suspicious contact. Then, after some manipulation, he frowned a little and muttered, "It's even a foreign IP?"

Tang Zhengyang also frowned when he heard Gong Jun's words. Hearing that Wu Na was in contact with someone outside the country, he couldn't help but think of a terrible possibility.

There were illegal websites that specialized in uploading various illegal videos and images. Some were of children, some were of drugged teenagers, and some were of naive teenagers. There were even some of unsuspecting victims.

After working away at the computer for some time, Gong Jun finally hacked into the other party's computer.
