When Gu Xiao heard this, she looked up at Chu An and nodded.
She removed the USB drive from the computer and glanced at Tian Xian beside her. “Since you were the one who discovered the USB drive, you can follow us if you want to.”
Upon hearing this, Tian Xian, who was originally unsure if he should follow, immediately nodded in agreement.
Whether it was because of the truth back then or the origin of the USB drive, he wanted to know the content of the last video.
However, he also knew about Gu Xiao and Chu An’s experience. He was worried that the two of them didn’t want more people to know about this, so he didn’t take the initiative to say that he wanted to go with them.
Now that Gu Xiao had spoken, he naturally would not miss this opportunity.
After confirming it, the three of them walked towards Chu An’s office.
Gu Xiao and Chu An each had an office, but Chu An’s office was practically empty. He had always worked in Gu Xiao’s office and only returned to his own office occasionally.
The sound system did not have much use after he bought it, so he simply left it in his office. If not for the fact that he suddenly remembered this small sound system this time, it would probably have been left to gather dust in his office.
Chu An rummaged through his office for a while before finding a small stereo in a drawer.
As Chu An had expected, because this small sound system hadn’t been used for a long time, there was already a layer of dust on the surface.
Gu Xiao looked at the small stereo in Chu An’s hand, then raised her eyebrows at Chu An.
“Did you buy it and never use it?”
Chu An nodded.
“Then why did you buy it?”
When Chu An heard this, he fell silent, because he couldn’t remember why he had bought this small stereo back then.
Meeting Gu Xiao’s teasing gaze, Chu An’s eyes shifted, and he changed the topic. “Since we’ve found the sound system, I’ll connect to the computer now.”
After saying that, Chu An ignored Gu Xiao and turned around to operate the small stereo.
After he finished setting up the sound system, before he could speak, Gu Xiao handed over the USB drive in her hand.
Chu An took it, turned on the computer, and plugged the USB drive into the computer as well. Then, he found the pitch-black video and clicked play.
At first, there was only the sound of electricity passing through, followed by light footsteps.
The person seemed to be standing far away from the camera. Even if they used a small stereo, they could only hear a muffled sound.
“Are we really going to do what the director said yesterday?” A guilty voice sounded.
Then, a rather low voice said, “Of course we have to do it! Do you dare not to do it? Then do you still want this job?”
“But… but that’s still a life! If 1 really do that, won’t I be considered to have killed someone? If, if others find out later, I’ll go to jail! Aren’t you afraid?!”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people in the office became serious. Gu Xiao even tensed up and stared intently at the computer’s small stereo, listening to the conversation that followed.
“What are you afraid of? It’s not like we’re the ones doing it! Whether it’s tripping Chen Li or hiding the medicine, it’s all done by Meng Fei. What has it got to do with us staff?”
After the low voice finished speaking, the two of them did not speak again.
Gu Xiao glanced at the image on the computer. After some time, she turned her attention to the sound system.
The two of them were silent for a few seconds before the low voice sounded again. However, this time, there was a hint of helplessness in his words.
“What can you do even if you don’t want to do it? It would be just another person doing it. You still have to lose your job because of this. You might even be boycotted by the industry. Why bother? This industry is like this. You have to learn to turn a blind eye.”
This time, the guilty person was silent for even longer.
“But, but this is a human life. If her family knew about this, how sad would they be!”
“Then what can you do? You’re just a small staff member. Can you really rely on yourself to fight against the Ji Group? Don’t be stupid. That’s the Ji Group. In their eyes, you’re just an ant.. They can trample you to death at will!”
