<h4>Chapter 683: Chapter 683: I am your father</h4>
"I’d like to have a look at the surveince footage around my vi. Is that possible?"
Chen Feng didn’t bother beating around the bush and got straight to the point.
"Of course, the surveince footage of ourmunity is absolutely essible to all homeowners!"
Fan Jian didn’t even have to think about it before nodding his head. He then looked at Chen Feng with great respect and asked, "May I know which vi you own?"
"203."
Chen Feng said indifferently.
Vi No. 203 was the code for the Lin Mansion.
Each vi in the neighborhood had its own code.
However, when Fan Jian heard the number 203, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly shook his head, looking apologetically at Chen Feng, saying,
"Oh, the vi No. 203... I’m sorry, but there was a problem with the surveince equipment around vi No. 203st night."
"And our database has also malfunctioned, so we are unable to provide you with the footage at the moment!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fengughed.
Just a moment ago, Fan Jian had assured that all surveince footage was open to homeowners.
Why did he change his tune so suddenly upon hearing vi No. 203?
Chen Feng had clearly seen the change in Fan Jian’s face.
There must be something fishy going on here.
This property manager must be hiding something.
"Then could you tell me exactly what the malfunction is?"
Chen Feng asked with a slight smirk at the corner of his mouth.
"I’m terribly sorry, we’re still investigating. It could be that the surveince camera was damaged!"
Fan Jian said apologetically with a smile.
"All the vis in themunity, and just the one for 203 is bad? Do you even believe your own reason?"
Chen Feng asked with a sneer.
"This... it surely was damaged, whether by coincidence or whatever, I can’t exin!"
Fan Jian said with an awkward smile.
"Oh? Really?"
Chen Feng smiled and then turned to look at the full wall of surveince screens.
Having lived in the Lin Mansion for so long, Chen Feng was more than familiar with the surrounding environment. He immediately spotted the surveince screen around the Lin Mansion.
Everything on the screen looked normal, and obviously the cameras were still working fine.
Seeing this, Chen Feng pointed to the surveince screen and asked Fan Jian with a coldugh, "Aren’t they still working?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Jian’s expression changed, and he quickly made an excuse, "We detected the faultst night and immediately sent someone to fix it, so it’s been repaired!"
"Then bring up the footage from after the repair for me!"
Chen Feng said calmly.
"I’m afraid that’s still not possible, sir. As I mentioned earlier, and you might not have been listening carefully, our database has also run into some trouble, so it’s really impossible for us to retrieve the surveince footage for you!"
Fan Jian said with a face full of apologies.
"Do you think I have no idea? Every control room has a backup database. If there’s an issue with your main database, surely the backup isn’t also failing, right?"
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice.
"This..."
Fan Jian found himself at a loss for words.
If he were to say that the backup database was also having issues, it would seem too much like a deliberate lie, almost like a confession.
"I’ll ask one final time, can you bring up the surveince footage for me?"
Chen Feng asked coldly.
At these words, Fan Jian’s face changed again.
Having no way to prevaricate any longer, he decided to tell the truth.
So, Fan Jian’s attitude changed instantly, and he looked at Chen Feng very ungraciously and said,
"Sir, let me just tell you straight: our general manager gave explicit orders this morning forbidding anyone from viewing the surveince footage, so I really can’t help you with that."
"If it’s convenient for you, you could contact our general manager directly. If he agrees to let you view the footage, I will bring it up immediately; otherwise, please forgive my helplessness!"
"So, it seems I won’t be able to see the surveince footage today, huh?"
Chen Feng asked with a slight smirk and a sneer.
"That’s right, unless our general manager says otherwise, it’s absolutely not possible. Sir, if you have no other business, please leave and don’t hinder our work!"
Fan Jian said, ready to send Chen Feng away.
But just then, the door to the control room was kicked open from the outside.
The next moment, a young man in a blue suit with a face full of e sauntered into the control room.
The young man, who looked to be in his early twenties, wasn’t handsome, but his attire was trendy, with name-brand suit and watch.
With a face full of cynical nonchnce, it was clear he was a prodigal son from a wealthy family.
And this young man was none other than Liu Feifei’s cousin, Liu Wei, whom Chen Feng had just spoken to on the phone!
Upon entering the control room, Liu Wei barely nced around before immediately noticing Chen Feng.
He quickly walked over, his cynical expression instantly reced with one of respect, and extended his right hand to Chen Feng, saying obsequiously, "Brother-inw, it’s great to see you again!"
"You’re here!"
Chen Feng smiled faintly, shaking hands with Liu Wei.
"Yeah, how is it going? Is everything taken care of?"
Liu Wei nodded and asked with a smile.
"Not yet, they said the general manager ordered against it, no one is allowed to look!"
Chen Feng shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Wow, what a bunch of SOBs, they’re getting bolder and bolder. Don’t worry, brother-inw, leave the rest to me!"
After speaking, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Fan Jian, his expression immediately darkened, and he asked harshly, "Are you in charge here?"
"Yes, may I ask who you are?"
Fan Jian nodded, asking politely.
"I’m your daddy!"
Liu Wei red fiercely and spat out those words.
At thatment, Chen Feng nearly burst outughing.
Liu Wei was truly formidable!
Fan Jian’s face turned several shades of green.
There’s an old saying, "Don’t p a smiling face." He had been polite, so why start off by iming to be his father?
That was just too much!
"Sir, I don’t think I’ve offended you. Why would you insult me like this?"
Fan Jian asked with an increasingly unpleasant expression.
"Insult you? Are you even worth it? Huh? Look at what you are!"
Liu Wei red at Fan Jian with utter disdain.
"Sir, if you continue to be offensive, I must assume you are here to cause trouble. In that case, I have the right to summon security and have you thrown out!"
Fan Jian’s face had be extremely ugly; if it weren’t for the fact that he was the property manager, he would have already burst out in curses.
