Xia Xin said, “Tang Hai, I really didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. You tampered with the rockery to make the stones fall, injuring people. It was also you who damaged the panda’s wooden structure causing harm to Bao. And today, you contaminated my hat with the scent of a lion cub, which drove the lion crazy. You even damaged the cage lock, allowing it to escape. It’s all you.”
Tang Hai wore an incredulous expression and said, “Xia Xin, I’ve treated you decently before. How can you accuse me like this?”
Xia Xin couldn’t comprehend and asked, “Why haven’t you admitted it yet?”
Tang Hail s frustration turned into anger and he asked, “What have I done? What am I supposed to admit? I’ve treated you well, so why are you framing me like this?”
Xia Xin, furious but amused, said, “I knew you wouldn’t admit it so easily.
Without evidence, you’ll never confess. Mr. Lu, show him the evidence.”
Lu Yuan turned the computer screen towards Tang Hai and pressed the play button. The surveillance footage displayed Tang Hai sneakily entering the backstage dressing room. He indeed swapped the hat. Then, lowering the brim of the hat, he left the dressing room. Although his face wasn’t fully visible, the body shape in the footage indicated that it was Tang Hai.
In another clip at the lion enclosure, Tang Hai wore the hat but didn’t wear a mask, making his face very clear. He glanced around to make sure no one was watching and then took out a saw from his pocket. He sawed through the lock on the cage, then used glue to mend the lock, ensuring it wouldn’t be noticed.
Afterward, he even smirked maliciously in the direction of the camera, sending shivers down the viewers’ spines.
Tang Hai finished watching and was also in disbelief. He took two steps back, astonishment written all over his face, and exclaimed, “Xia Xin, where did you get this video? You’re wrongly accusing me! Mr. Lu, this really isn’t me!”
Xia Xin furrowed her brows and said, “Tang Hai, we’ve reached this point, and you still won’t confess? Could surveillance footage be fake? You’re clever; every time you acted, you would disable the surveillance in the control room. To catch you this time, we borrowed a miniature camera from the production team and installed it near the lion enclosure to capture your actions. I never thought that even now, you would still try to argue your way out!”
Tang Hai felt a fit of intense anger and shouted, “If I had really done this, I wouldn’t argue. But I didn’t do this!”
Seeing Tang Hails serious expression, both Lu Yuan and Xia Xin started to waver. They wondered if they had made a mistake.
Tang Hail s gaze was pure and innocent, devoid of the cunning expression seen in the video.
However, Tang Hai’s face in the surveillance footage was extremely clear. It was difficult to dismiss the evidence even if everyone wanted to admit they were wrong.
Xia Xin couldn’t help but speculate that Tang Hai might have a twin.
Tang Hai glared at Lu Yuan and said angrily, “Mr. Lu, I’ve worked at this zoo for five years, putting in effort even when there was no reward. If you think I’ve done something wrong, just tell me straightforwardly. Don’t try to frame me behind my back! I absolutely couldn’t have done something like this!”
Because Tang Hail s expression was so earnestly righteous, Lu Yuan also began to question whether they had apprehended the wrong person.
With a grave expression, Lu Yuan said, “Indeed, you’ve been working at the zoo for five years. I know your character very well. At first, when Xia Xin accused you, I didn’t believe it. It was only when the video was exposed that I had to believe it. I want to believe you, but when faced with irrefutable evidence, you can’t explain it away. Unless you can prove that this evidence is fake.”
Tang Hai said furiously, “I can’t prove it. I’m just a keeper, not a video editing expert. How would I know how to manipulate this stuff?”
The situation remained at a stalemate, and nobody knew how to proceed.
Seeing that everyone remained silent, Tang Hai grew even angrier. He removed the ID badge hanging from his neck and slammed it onto Lu Yuan’s desk. He said, “Since you doubt me so much, then I have no reason to continue working here. I’m resigning right now!”
Xia Xin was at a loss for words. Her lips opened and closed, unsure whether to stop him or continue arguing with him. She could only watch as Tang Hai put down his ID badge and turned to walk out of the office, removing his staff uniform as he went..
