Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)



"What's this?" Lauren asked.

Frowning, Lauren was still slightly confused. Wasn't that the famous business street at the south of the university?

She knew that there were many vendors in that area, and there were many lofts available for renting as well. The business there was great, as the place was close to a university. However, during the past two years, the city was rectified, and many illegal buildings were demolished. The business street was no longer as packed as before, but it brought on a refreshed scene and atmosphere.

She was pretty familiar with the business street, as she used to shop and have meals there. The street that was separated from the university by only a wall. However, was there anything wrong?

Also, the picture of the scene was taken during daytime.

The incident happened at night, so how was the picture going to help?

After looking at it for some time, Lauren didn't see anything wrong with it, and just shook her head unconsciously. Just then, Sharon took out a magnifying class from the drawer and handed it to her, then pointed at a spot in the picture.

"This is the important part!" she said.

After that, she took out another picture of the entrance of the lab before the explosion happened, and placed it next to the picture. Then, she covered the people in the pictures with a random name card.

"Look in these two directions..." she said.

Lauren spotted something strange, and an idea flashed across her mind. "Are they surveillance cameras? Are you saying that the surveillance cameras of the building on the opposite could've taken footage of the entrance of the lab?"

Sharon nodded and explained.

"I also have just discovered this by accident today! I believe that many people only limited the range of the incident to the school and its surroundings, but they didn't notice that one of the buildings on the opposite street had surveillance cameras installed! According to my analysis, from this distance and angle, the entrance of the lab should've been clearly caught in the footage. I went to take a look tonight deliberately when I went to buy some things, and I did see the red light, meaning that the surveillance cameras were functioning. However, I didn't dare to approach them rashly, as I was worried that it might alert the enemy, and I'm not as skilled as you are in combat after all! It's just that it's been some time since the incident, and I don't know who lives in the building, so I'm not sure if the footage is still there. That's why it's only considered half a good news! Nevertheless, it can give us some new ideas!"

If Zedd or his people noticed it, they were going to be in trouble!

"I understand now! If we can get the surveillance camera footage, and prove the sequence of us entering the lab, whether I went in first or last, there's a big chance that I'll be able to prove my innocence as long as there's an image that shows it!" Lauren said.

"Yes, that's what I meant! You're more familiar with that place, and I think we should do it as soon as possible. We'll go there together tomorrow, and I'll get one of my police friends to follow us and protect us! We'll try to get the footage in our first attempt, in case they delete the footage afterwards. As long as they haven't all been deleted, we'll still be able to recover the footage. If we're really that unlucky, well look around for other similar surveillance cameras. Don't worry, no one can escape the law, and I'm sure God will do you justice!" Sharon said.

"You're right! Zedd has been harassing me frequently lately, so we should be careful! We mustn't let him find out! Let's make a plan..." Lauren suggested.

Being excited and elated, the two of them began to craft their plan meticulously.

The next day, the two of them went there separately, according to plan. They met up at the destination, then the four of them went up to the fifth floor directly, and met the family who lived there. Fortunately, a kind couple lived in the unit. After listening to their intentions, they welcomed them warmly. "What? Did a man take it away?" Lauren exclaimed.

Lauren couldn't help letting out a scream, and she started to feel dizzy and a little breathless, almost fainting. Could it be that Zedd had already known about it and taken it away? Were they too late?

"Lauren!" Sharon yelled.

"Are you all right, Miss? Have some water!" the owner of the unit said.

The female owner poured her a glass of water, and began her explanation.

"Yes! It happened some time ago. Similarly, the man came here because of the investigation of the explosion case at the lab as well! He even said that it could be a very important evidence, so we agreed to let him get a copy of it! However, he said that he had to use the original footage as evidence on court, and that they would be suspicious if the footage were copied. At first, we didn't agree to that! After that, he compensated us for the entire set of equipment, and brought over a group of lawyers and technicians, so we finally agreed to it! The current set of surveillance equipment is brand new!"

Upon hearing that, they remained silent. Lauren's face was pale, as she had received a terrible blow.

That was the key evidence. If Zedd had thought about it already, he probably had destroyed all of the other possible evidences as well.

In a daze, Lauren realized that her world had come crashing down once again.

At that moment, Sharon remembered something. She took out a photo from the document folder and handed it to them.

"Mrs. McGowan, was this the man who came over to take it away? Can you tell us more about the day when he came over? Were there any surveillance cameras that had possibly captured the scene or the presence of anyone special that day?" Sharon asked.

If they were able to find counter evidence, they could still have a chance.

The moment Sharon spoke, Lauren returned to her senses as well, and looked at them with a pleading gaze.

She said, "Mr. and Mrs. McGowan,

you have to help me. I have beenContent held by NôvelDrama.Org.

conned of all of my money and properties, and now I'm being framed. can't accept this. Mrs. McGowan, you're pregnant too, so you must understand how I feel. I was only allowed to be bailed out of jail because I was pregnant. I have nowhere else to go, and I have no money. Please, you have to help me. Please help me to recall the

situation..."

Seeing that Lauren had burst into tears, Mrs. McGowan couldn't help but feared up as well.

"Don't worry, if I can recall anything, I won't hide it from you! Oh, and for the lawyer, my husband did a background check on him. He's very famous,

and he doesn't seem like a bad guy!" Mrs. McGowan said.

She held onto Lauren's hand to comfort her, then took a look at the photo, but shook her head afterwards.

"It wasn't him! That man was

dressed formally, in a suit, and he looked much more handsome and smarter than him! He had two men with him and they were very polite! It was the first time I saw such a young and handsome man! Right, another man came afterwards, which I think was their leader. He was even more handsome, and he gave them a few instructions. After that, he called the lawyer over!" Mrs. McGowan said.

"Was it not him?" Lauren asked.

Lauren and Sharon gave each other a relieved glance. "Mrs. McGowan, can you take another look to make sure that it wasn't him?"

As she spoke, Sharon took out a few more pictures from the document folder that showed Zedd's side and front profile, and placed them in front of Mrs. McGowan.

Mrs. McGowan waved her hand, and smiled.

"I don't even need to see them, it wasn't him! I can't be wrong! Let me tell you, my husband even argued with me that day because he was jealous of the young and handsome men that came to us that day! He threw a tantrum that day and even refused to have dinner! I couldn't have gotten it wrong, this man wasn't among them!" she said.

"Apart from him, who else would be concerned about this matter? Why would they need the surveillance camera footage?" Sharon muttered. Upon hearing Sharon mumbling, a few figures appeared in Lauren's thoughts, and an idea flashed across her mind..
