After coordination between Zhan Mohan and the mall management, surveillance videos from various locations were quickly obtained.
Fang Xun organized all the videos, and with the cooperation of other staff, all footage showing Zhao Yixin's presence was promptly identified.
"Mr. Zhan, Madam, I have confirmed that all the videos are here."
Zhan Mohan nodded and looked at Wei Yumeng.
More and more people were gathering around the jewelry store, curious about the final outcome.
Zhao Yixin was still exchanging glares with Mu Linjing, but her confidence had waned, and she felt a pang of guilt.
However, the arrow was already on the bowstring, and there was no room for regret. She could only take it one step at a time.
Perhaps, by the end, she wouldn't appear in any of the videos at all?
"To verify the contents of these videos, I invite everyone present to help us identify any suspicious elements."
Wei Yumeng addressed the onlookers, believing this to be the most convincing approach.
If she and Zhan Mohan discovered any discrepancies, Zhao Yixin might still find excuses to quibble.
But if the onlookers themselves found them, she would have no grounds for argument.
Wei Yumeng did not believe there was an issue with her store, so the incident had garnered so much attention while simultaneously promoting the shop. She thought that perhaps, if handled correctly, it wouldn't be entirely detrimental.
Indeed, many people were eager to participate, driven by their inherent curiosity about the truth.
Under everyone's gaze, Wei Yumeng displayed the different videos on various devices, allowing the audience to choose which ones to watch.
This would improve efficiency.
She, Zhan Mohan, Fang Xun, and Mu Linjing would be responsible for different areas.
Zhao Yixin looked anxiously at each player, knowing that her image could appear from any direction at any moment.
"Found it!" Mu Linjing spoke first.
Immediately, those observing the same player began to discuss.
"Did you see? She seems to have bought a bracelet from a regular accessories store on the first floor of the mall."
"That's right, I saw it too, but we can't confirm yet if that bracelet is the same one as the one we see here."
Just then, the group with Wei Yumeng also exclaimed.
"Here! This looks like the service corridor at the back of the mall. Not many people usually go there, but she deliberately dropped the bracelet there."
Hearing this, Zhao Yixin's face turned pale. She hadn't expected to be caught on camera.
"What's more, look at how she swapped the bracelet's packaging. That's it, confirmed!"
All eyes turned to Zhao Yixin, the truth now laid bare for everyone to see.
Zhao Yixin, feeling the weight of their gazes, took a few steps back.
Almost everyone looked at her with disdain and blame, as if she were an utterly wicked person.
"I never expected someone dressed so elegantly to do such a thing."
"Yes, yes, you truly never know what people are like."
Wei Yumeng quickly intervened, "Thank you all for your help. It is thanks to you that this matter has been brought to light."
Zhao Yixin's mood plummeted. Wei Yumeng's strategy was truly ruthless, aiming for her social ruin.
She had lost to Wei Yumeng so many times, how could she simply give up?
Even if there was only a sliver of hope for a comeback, she wouldn't abandon it.
"Everyone, do you really believe these surveillance videos are genuine? While you may have found the results, where did these videos come from?"
"Where else could they be from? Aren't they provided by the mall?" people responded indifferently.
"That's just their word. Has anyone personally seen them being brought from the mall's surveillance room to confirm they are the mall's real footage?"
Zhao Yixin said, turning her gaze to the staff, "And these people, who can prove they are actually mall employees?"
"Zhao Yixin! How could you even come up with such an excuse? Are we going to lie to you?" Mu Linjing was utterly speechless.
She walked over to a staff member, "Show her your work ID."
The staff member then handed her ID to Zhao Yixin, but Zhao Yixin didn't even look at it.
"What if you have a work ID? It can still be faked."
The onlookers were becoming confused. It was indeed possible for a business to go to such lengths to protect its reputation.
But was that really the case?
Wei Yumeng was at a loss now. She hadn't expected Zhao Yixin to be so shameless.
Even if she proved something, what could she do if Zhao Yixin refused to acknowledge it?
Just then, a handsome man entered from outside. He saw Zhan Mohan and hurried over to greet him.
He was Yang Ping, the owner of the mall.
"Mr. Zhan, I sincerely apologize. I should have personally welcomed you upon your arrival."
Zhan Mohan merely nodded slightly. "Instead of pleasantries, why don't we first address the current issue? Someone deliberately caused trouble for my wife in your mall. How do you intend to handle this?"
Yang Ping briefly got the gist of the situation from Fang Xun. After considering it, he said,
"This matter is quite simple to resolve. As the owner of this mall, I can vouch for these employees and the videos." Yang Ping said, looking at everyone.
"After Mr. Zhan contacted me, I then instructed the security department to retrieve the videos. No one else had access to them during that time."
"As for these people..." Yang Ping made a phone call, "Please wait a moment. The head of the human resources department will be here shortly with the employees' records. Their authenticity will be clear then."
Zhao Yixin hadn't expected Wei Yumeng to have another move up her sleeve. They had actually invited the mall's manager.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Zhan Mohan asked coldly, then glanced at Fang Xun.
Fang Xun produced a compensation contract. "Miss, if you have no further excuses regarding the current situation, then you will compensate for your actions. This contract details the compensation terms. You may review it first."
Although Zhao Yixin was unwilling, she could only accept it now.
Her hatred for Wei Yumeng would only deepen. One day, she would be stronger than Wei Yumeng.
But just as she was about to sign the contract, Wei Yumeng stopped her.
"There's no need to sign this contract. Actually, she and I are friends who haven't seen each other in years. I believe she must have had no choice but to do this. I am willing to forgive her."
However, hearing this only made Zhao Yixin angrier.
"Wei Yumeng! Don't push it too far! Who do you think you are? A saint? You're going to forgive me even after I've done something like this?"
