"Where's the memory card?" Xiaobai asked.

"..." The man lowered his head in a panic, his gaze sweeping across the coffee table and lingering on the piggy bank for a moment.

"Something's fishy!" York noticed the man's gaze. She quickly grabbed the piggy bank on the table with one hand and said to Xiaobai with a look of surprise, "Admiral, I know! When people are most panicked, they subconsciously look towards something they can lean on. There must be that memory card in this piggy bank!"

"No, it's not there, it's not there!" the man shouted frantically, his voice shrill.

"It really is here, isn't it!" York was even more certain when he heard the man's shout. Before Xiaobai could speak, York threw the piggy bank hard onto the ground.

whoosh-

Snapped!

The piggy bank crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.

A clattering sound rang out as a large number of coins scattered out.

A thick layer of coins instantly accumulated beneath the feet of Xiaobai and his two companions.

Baltimore and York quickly crouched down and carefully searched through the coins, the clattering sound echoing for three or four minutes.

"what?"

"Eh?"

York and Baltimore looked up in confusion after searching for the coins.

"Admiral, there's no memory card?"

There's nothing in here except coins.

York and Baltimore stood up, frowning as they looked at the man.

The man's head was bowed, and his body trembled slightly.

"Hehe...hehe...hahahaha...hahahahahaha...humhahahahahaha!!!" The man burst into laughter, tilting his head back and frantically slapping his belly, mercilessly mocking York and Baltimore, "I told you there was no memory card in there, why didn't you believe me? Hahahahaha! You think I really put a memory card in here? Are you kids? I just played along for a bit, hahahahaha, you two are so naive!"

“You…” York’s face flushed red from the man’s mockery. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

"Admiral, what's going on?" Baltimore asked, holding a handful of coins and looking at Xiaobai with a puzzled expression.

"If I'm not mistaken, he should have destroyed that memory card a long time ago," Xiaobai said helplessly.

"He...he actually destroyed it?"

“Yes, after all, the memory card is the most crucial evidence. Once the memory card is destroyed, there will be no more direct evidence to deny his identity,” Xiaobai said. “That’s why he was so confident just now, saying that we would never find the memory card no matter what.”

"Listen, you two!" Upon hearing this, the man burst into laughter. "You two ship girls are way dumber than your admiral!"

"Admiral, I...I really want to hit him!" York clenched his fists, his chest heaving with intense emotion.

“Hitting someone is wrong, and as the admiral, I have a duty to stop you. However… I’m going to check this man’s bedroom to see if there’s any other evidence.” Xiaobai sighed, then pointed towards the bedroom. “I’ll probably be in the bedroom for about five minutes… York, you know what I mean?”

The man's laughter faltered.

The man stared wide-eyed at Xiaobai's innocent-looking face.

"I understand, Admiral!" York's eyes blazed with fury, his fists clenched tightly. "I'll control my strength so as not to kill anyone!"

"I'm going now." Xiaobai turned around and walked into the man's bedroom.

She had just stepped into the man's bedroom.

Before Xiaobai could even see what the bedroom looked like, the sound of a punching bag being smashed rang out, followed by a man's wailing and howling behind him.

Chapter 2338 Who writes a diary if they're a decent person?

The man's pig-like screams, accompanied by pleas for mercy and the clanging of punches and kicks, flowed continuously from the living room into the bedroom.

Xiao Bai covered her ears, lifted her foot, and gently closed the bedroom door.

After closing the bedroom door slightly, the sounds coming from the living room were significantly reduced, and Xiaobai finally felt relieved and put her hand down, turning around to look at the man's bedroom.

As Baltimore observed, the man's bedroom was indeed very clean.

At first glance, Xiaobai saw that the bedroom contained only a white single bed and a set of black desk and chair. The clutter on the desk and chair had just been taken to the living room by Baltimore, and now there was practically nothing left in the bedroom.

"Hmm... Baltimore should have already searched the desk and chair area." Xiaobai's gaze didn't linger on the bare desk and chair, but instead fell on the white single bed. "Baltimore is the kind of girl who's very principled. When conducting a room search, she'd probably subconsciously avoid things like the bed that are personal and private..."

Xiao Bai walked to the man's bed, picked up a pillow and weighed it in her hand, then lay down on the floor to look at the gap under the bed. Finally, she stood up thoughtfully and reached out to press the man's duvet cover.

"Ok?"

Xiaobai raised an eyebrow as she felt a square object in the man's bedding.

"This was... secretly sewn into the quilt?"

Xiao Bai reached out and pressed her hand on the bedding, then gently tore it open.

tear it up-

The white bed sheet was torn open by Xiaobai.

Snow-white down feathers scattered everywhere, and a thin booklet fell to the ground with a thud.

Xiaobai bent down to pick up the manual, patted the down feathers standing on its surface, and flipped it open to take a look.

[Date]

XX TV station is offering a reward of 1.5 million.

XX TV station is offering a reward of 300,000 yuan.

A reward of 2.5 million RMB is offered for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrator.

On [date],

The reward offered by XX TV station has been increased to two million.

……

The bounty listed in this manual is probably the same media organization that Z31 and Fletcher mentioned before, who made a deal with Chen Rui to offer a reward for the Deep Sea Information he mentioned... It's quite ironic. They offered such a high price, but what kind of expressions would they have if they knew that Chen Rui was not the one who filmed the Deep Sea Dean at all, but just the one who stole the video?

Ok……

wrong.

If you think about it carefully, nothing should be revealed.

Whether the information Chen Rui provided is true or false is irrelevant to these media organizations offering high rewards for information. Even if Chen Rui is not the actual videographer, he is indeed the initiator of this deep-sea video incident. For these media organizations, as long as Chen Rui is willing to reveal information on their programs, the traffic and hype he generates are more than enough.

Xiao Bai sighed.

how to say.

Fortunately, the Governor's Office acted first and isolated Chen Rui before he could reach a consensus with the media group... Chen Rui is the kind of person who can really go against his conscience for money. If he were to go on the show and say those baseless lies, the workload of the Governor's Headquarters would probably double again during this period.

Xiao Bai flipped through the manual and even found Chen Rui's diary at the back.

"On [date], the first day of quarantine."

A group of uninvited guests came to my house today, claiming to be from the Governor's Mansion. They were led by two young girls, and their intentions were clearly hostile. They brought me to this attic and forbade me from contacting the outside world. However, I've already arranged to break news about the deep sea with three local TV stations, and they've offered me two million… The people from the Governor's Mansion are, after all, the military, so I have to comply. But to make the money, I still need to find a way to secretly contact the program production team.”

"On [date], the third day of quarantine."

The Governor's Mansion discovered I was in contact with the outside world. They've now cut off my home's Wi-Fi, confiscated my SIM card and computer, locked me in the attic room, and even searched my room. Damn it, I almost... but thankfully they didn't find my diary.

"On [date], the tenth day of quarantine."

After cooperating with me for so long, I believe their wariness towards me has decreased. I plan to sneak out tonight. The TV station staff are mixed in with the crowd at the entrance; they'll come and get me as soon as I get out…”

"On [date], the eleventh day of quarantine."

My escape attempt failed last night, damn it.

"On [date], the twentieth day of my quarantine."

Ever since my last escape attempt, these people from the Governor's Mansion have been very wary of me, and I haven't been able to find a chance to leave. But it's okay, as long as I'm alive, I can always make money again. My identity as the person filming the video is unshakeable, and the Deep Sea Dean's scandal won't be quelled in a year or two. As long as I can get out, I can still make money. They can't keep me locked up forever, can they...?"

"On [date], the thirtieth day of quarantine."

It's been a long time since I wrote in my diary. There's really nothing to write about lately; I just stay in my room watching TV and eating every day. I feel like my mind is going to freeze. I really want to go for a walk… While eavesdropping on the ship girls talking outside, I overheard them discussing me. They said the Admiral's Headquarters' plan has started, and I'll be able to leave soon. Hehe… This is good news for me. Today I'll go back to my bedroom and organize the list of program crews I discussed with. The days of making money are coming.”

"On [date], the fiftieth day of quarantine."

Being locked in the room isn't so bad. Even without internet, at least I can just tell the ship girls what I want to eat and they'll give it to me. It feels a bit like being pampered. These ship girls are really beautiful, more beautiful than any woman I've ever seen in my life. They're quite pleasing to the eye, but I'm not interested in women. I prefer money; money is the best thing. Hehehe, the day of freedom isn't far off.

"Month x, Day x. The sixty-third day of quarantine."

A ship girl idol group appeared on TV today. I've been seeing related programs a lot lately when I'm watching TV, and they're quite entertaining.

"On [date], I was in quarantine for sixty-four days."

Today the TV was full of ship girl idol groups; they were really good, but something felt off.

"On [date], I was in quarantine (the handwriting is too messy) for [number] days."

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no… Lately, TV programs have been dominated by ship girl idol groups, and I can clearly feel the Deep Sea Dean's craze fading! The money I can get from this information is slowly decreasing over time! No, no, no, I can't let the Governor's Mansion's plan succeed! I haven't earned any money yet, I'm supposed to earn lots and lots of money! I remember now, this ship girl idol group must be the Governor's Mansion's plan, they're so despicable! Why are they interfering with my earning money? How could they be so evil! I just want to earn money! No, no, before the Deep Sea craze completely cools down, I have to find a chance to escape, I have to smash windows, I have to jump off buildings, I have to dig tunnels, I have to escape by any means necessary…”

"On [date], I was in quarantine for sixty-eight days."

I can't take it anymore. I've been staying at home for the past few days, and every single second I can feel my money slipping away from me at breakneck speed. No, no, no, no… This feeling is too agonizing. I'm going crazy. If I stay here any longer, I really will go insane… Please, please let me out. I really can't take it anymore…”

"On [date], I was isolated for [number] days (the handwriting was extremely messy and accompanied by scratches on the paper)."

They ruined me! They ruined me! They ruined me! I'll never forgive them!! Ahh ...

Xiaobai flipped through the pages after seeing this.

When I got to the last entry in the diary, I had already turned to the end.

Xiao Bai closed the diary, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

"Hmm... I can probably understand why Chen Rui goes crazy like this whenever he sees us." Xiao Bai gently patted the diary and muttered to herself, "Sigh... ill-gotten gains."

Xiaobai put the notebook behind her and walked out of the bedroom.

Xiaobai has been reading her diary in the bedroom for about five minutes now, and the noise in the living room has subsided.

When Xiaobai returned to the living room, the man had been beaten black and blue by York. He was lying face down on the floor with his butt sticking out, his head pressed to the side like a swollen purple pig's head. He couldn't open his eyes, and drool from the corner of his mouth had formed a small, glistening puddle on the floor.

"Admiral, you're back?" York sat down in a chair, panting. Her face was still flushed with anger. But when she saw Xiaobai, her anger immediately turned to surprise and delight. She stood up and waved to Xiaobai. "I've given this guy a good beating! Don't worry, I was very precise. They're all just pretty flesh wounds!"

"I see." Xiaobai smiled and walked to the ship girl's side.

"Huh? Admiral, what's this?" Baltimore saw the diary in Little White's hand.

“This is Chen Rui’s diary. Hmm… It’s a pity that he was very careful when writing his diary, and we couldn’t find any crucial evidence in it.” Xiaobai handed the diary to Baltimore. “However, this diary records Chen Rui’s thought process in disobeying the Governor’s orders, attempting to disrupt social morals, and causing a major impact on social stability. We can still give it to Z31 and Fletcher. How they use it is up to them.”

"A diary..."

Why do criminal suspects like to keep diaries?

"It's probably because I made a mistake and subconsciously looked for a place where I could vent my guilt."

Chapter 2339 All Evidence Points to Yu Gan

Baltimore and York took the diary, and the two of them huddled together, studying it with curiosity.

"Hehehehehe..."

Just then, the man lying on the ground with his head beaten into a pig's head let out a series of indistinct laughs.

Everyone turned to look at the man.

The man was laughing, spitting out saliva from his swollen and dislocated mouth.

“Take it all, take all the evidence, hehehehe… But you still can’t change the fact that I’m the one who filmed the Deep Sea Dean’s video, hehehehe… Even if you send me to jail and lock me up, as long as I get out one day, I can still make money off this, hehehehe… I’m the filmmaker, absolutely the filmmaker, hehehehe…”

As the man spoke, his voice gradually weakened and became indistinct, but he continued to mutter to himself.

This dedication even moved Xiaobai.

"Admiral, I'm starting to find this guy terrifying." York said to Xiaobai with an indescribable expression.

"There aren't many people in this world who value money so much," Xiaobai sighed, then said to the two ship girls, "Let's go."

"Hey? Aren't you going to keep asking him?"

"Now that we know he wasn't the one who filmed the deep-sea video, and he has no idea where the Deep-Sea Director is, there's no need for us to stay here. As for how to forge his ID, that's not our job; that's the Governor's Office's responsibility."

"Oh……"

"But before I leave, I still need to say goodbye to Z31 and the others."

"understand!"

Xiao Bai and his two companions didn't glance at the man in the center of the living room again. They walked to the entrance of the suite and opened the door.
