Chapter 134 Sophie's True Colors
Lily called back, "What do you mean?"
Michael said, "Lily, I already went to the bar to check, but the surveillance footage was deleted. I'm not sure how much can be recovered. It doesn't look promising."
Lily felt a bit disappointed hearing this result.
"Lily, David says he can help you deal with the Harper family situation, but he wants you to go home and apologize first. Can you stop being so stubborn?"
"No." Lily hung up directly.
She hesitated for a long time before finally logging into a software she hadn't used in years.
She used to love surfing the dark web and learning things there.
Later, the firewall system for David's company was something she wrote after exchanging ideas with these friends.
But David hated people from the dark web the most, so she didn't dare tell him, she was also connected to it.
She almost got caught by David once, and after that, she never logged into this software again, completely cutting off contact with people from the dark web.
But now that she had cut ties with the Roberts family, she didn't need to worry about all that anymore.
Lily directly posted a bounty: [Looking for J's contact information!]
J was someone she knew before, really skilled. But after all these years, she wasn't sure if he was still using this software.
She posted it publicly, hoping he would see it!
Maybe for old times' sake, he'd help her out!
News spread fast on the dark web.
At a private club.
Eric walked up to Dennis and put his phone in front of him, "Someone's looking for you!"
Dennis saw the poster's username [MMD] and found it somewhat familiar.
"The code name J is from a long time ago, right? Why would someone still use that name to find you?"
"Could it be some romantic debt you owe, Dennis?"
Dennis thought for a moment, "I remember there was someone like that, not very old, but very talented. Liked to ask basic questions on the dark web."
"Right, right, that MMD kept pestering you to take him as a student, but then suddenly disappeared and never showed up again."
Dennis looked at the missing person notice.
He was also curious why that person had suddenly disappeared, wondering if something had happened.
Back then, he was young and proud, taught the MMD quite a lot, worried the MMD might go down the wrong path!
Dennis finally logged into the software and sent a private message to that MMD: [Disappeared for so many years, looking for me about something?]
Lily had been watching her phone the whole time, afraid of missing any message.
When she heard the notification, she opened it immediately and saw it was actually him replying to her message.
Lily was a bit excited: [I want to ask you for a favor!]
J:[Let's hear it.]
Dennis thought after seeing this that the MMD might have run into some trouble.
Lily quickly replied: [Help me restore a deleted surveillance video. I've saved all the original data.]
J:[What's in this surveillance footage?]
[Evidence of my friend being hurt. It can send the culprit to jail!]
Dennis looked at this message,[Send it over and let me see.]
Lily immediately packaged and sent over the surveillance video data!
Dennis got his computer and opened the video Lily sent. He raised an eyebrow, "Isn't this the surveillance from the second floor of that bar?"
"It really is. Remember when you wanted to check the surveillance before, but the Harper family's people deleted it first? I thought I could package the data and restore it, but then the data completely disappeared.
Didn't expect to find it here. Who is this MMD?"
Dennis looked at the video data on his computer, his expression becoming more serious.
This MMD definitely knew Lily!
What was this person's relationship with Lily?
After Lily packaged and sent the original data, she asked tentatively: [Can you restore it?]
J:[Yes, but this video involves a crime, so I must hand it to you in person.]
Lily thought about it and agreed right away: [No problem, when can you have it ready?]
J:[Saturday at the latest.]
MMD:[See you Saturday then.]
Lily smiled when she saw he had promised to restore it.
Once she got this video, Sophie's good days would be over!
She absolutely couldn't swallow this insult!
On the other side.
Dennis looked at the data on his computer, feeling something was odd about this whole thing.
"Dennis, do you think this MMD could be Lily?"
"Why would you say that?"
"I just heard something happened at Quest University. A freshman was slandered, and she directly locked the phones of those who defamed her. Even the computer science professors couldn't crack the code she wrote! Impressive, right?"
Dennis narrowed his eyes, "Don't tell me that person was Lily?"
"Exactly, it was her! That's why I suspect MMD is her!"
Dennis hadn't expected Lily to be that skilled, but if MMD was Lily, given how much he had taught her before, it wasn't surprising she could do this.
He glanced at Eric, "Time to get to work. Must restore the video by Friday."
Whether MMD was Lily or not, he had to restore this surveillance footage!
Time quickly came to Friday.
After Lily got up in the morning, she left the dorm. She was going to meet J and get that restored video.
But when Lily reached the school gate, Michael stopped her and forced a designer gift bag into her hands.
"Lily, I know about Samantha giving you a hard time at the bar that day. If you want to pursue this, I'll get you the best lawyer!"
"Are you sure?"
Lily looked at Michael with a half-smile, "What if this also has something to do with Sophie? Would your lawyer dare to pursue it?"
Michael hesitated.
He said, "Lily, I asked Sophie about it. You should know about Samantha bullying that classmate to death, right? That's just how Samantha is. Sophie had her difficulties and didn't dare help you at the time. But she definitely wouldn't dare to harm you together with them!"
Hearing Michael's explanation, Lily wasn't surprised at all.
Lily laughed out loud, though the smile didn't reach her eyes!
Lily threw the designer gift bag at Michael, "The Roberts family is as disgusting as ever!"
"Lily, I know you don't like Sophie, but she and I looked for you all night. She has no reason to harm you."
No reason to harm her?
Lily said coldly, "Sophie has always wanted to replace me. How could she have no reason?"
"You've misunderstood Sophie. She's just an adopted daughter. How could she possibly replace you? You're our real sister."
"Enough. You say I'm your real sister, but you don't dare hold Sophie accountable?"
What kind of real sister means this little?
Michael was anxious to explain, "But the surveillance on the second floor that night was all deleted. There's no evidence proving Sophie was involved in this. I can't just randomly hold someone accountable!"
He was in a difficult position, too.
Why couldn't Lily be a little more understanding?
"You want evidence? You'll have it soon."
