Chapter 203 Monitoring
Theodore did not rush into the park, but went into the guard room.
He is indeed a daring man, fearless and without scruples.
Some people's madness is just a way of bullying others. But Theodore is different. When old Mansfield was alive, he relied on his family's power and his father's favor to do whatever he wanted. After old Mansfield died, he lost the support of his family and was still as crazy as before.
The guard room was too tidy. Theodore looked around and quickly found the location of the surveillance facilities.
Theodore turned on the surveillance video, casually scrolled the progress bar, and saw Duan Hongji's figure.
The quality of the surveillance footage was surprisingly good, and it hardly detracted from Duan Hongji's handsomeness. This handsome and tall man strolled around the park, looking around from time to time, or stopping to ponder for a while.
When Duan Hongji first came to the park, it was overgrown with weeds, withered branches and leaves blocking the road, and old garbage flying everywhere in the wind. Duan Hongji stood in such a dilapidated environment, slightly closing his eyes, like a phoenix falling into the mud.
Theodore continued to slide the progress bar backwards.
In the picture, Duan Hongji is holding a huge broom, lowering his head, silently and stubbornly sweeping up fallen leaves and garbage. He is not wearing a mask and soon starts coughing because of the dust.
Duan Hongji coughed heartbreakingly, so loud that it startled two magpies on the treetops. The birds fluttered in the sky in pairs. Duan Hongji, who was alone, squinted his eyes and looked up at them for a while, laughed at himself, and lowered his head to continue cleaning.
He cleaned meticulously, and his attitude was unprecedentedly serious. Theodore had seen Duan Hongji negotiating with people in videos, socializing with people at dances, giving orders in family meetings, and even seeing Duan Hongji helpless and cold in private. But he had never seen Duan Hongji so silent and serious.
Theodore slowly scrolled down the progress bar, watching the garden become visibly cleaner. From the dirty and dilapidated place at the beginning, it gradually became a quiet and clean secret place.
When doing these things, Duan Hongji's back was always straight, and from the back, he seemed as if he had never aged.
Theodore moved his fingers and progressed downward. He saw Duan Hongji climbed up a ladder and stood on it, pruning the branches and leaves of a tall pear tree.
After all, he was not young anymore, and after working for a while with his head tilted back, he felt tired and stopped to rub his neck.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by slowly, blowing off the remaining leaves on the tree. A few dead leaves fell right on Duan Hongji's head, making it look like it was covered with a layer of gray-yellow snow.
Duan Hongji brushed off the dead leaves from his hair, and at that moment, his hand touched something.
Duan Hongji's face showed a look of astonishment. He looked up and found that it was a wooden sign hanging on a tree branch!
Of course Theodore couldn't see clearly what was written on the wooden sign, but he could clearly see the violent trembling expression on Duan Hongji's face at that moment.
Duan Hongji picked up the wooden sign, and after seeing the words clearly on it, his hands even trembled slightly.
Duan Hongji opened his mouth - Theodore hated himself so much at this moment that he was proficient in Chinese that he could read Duan Hongji's lip movements.
Duan Hongji said, "Is it you?"
This cold, hard-hearted man, this man who had rejected Theodore time and time again, even at this moment, showed a rare confusion and softness.
Theodore didn't know what was on the wooden sign, but he could guess what it might say.
What year of youth memories is this? What kind of romantic and touching love story is this?
How touching.
There was no warmth in Theodore's amber eyes, and even the perfunctory smile on his lips had disappeared without a trace.
Jealousy is a terrible emotion that gnaws at the heart of the jealous person all the time, while the object of jealousy is always spotless, like a mirror, reflecting the ugliness of the jealous person.
Theodore had never been jealous of anyone.
In his eyes, jealousy is the behavior of losers and incompetents. If someone is stronger than him, then surpass him. If someone is not as strong as him but has a better opportunity, then use strength to crush luck. If someone gets what Theodore wants first, then defeat the other person and take it back.
This is what Theodore has been doing all along.
But at this moment, looking at Duan Hongji in the picture, Theodore inexplicably had some kind of enlightenment.
Axia's death was like a sea of water that had submerged the land called Duan Hongji, leaving only a suffocating and everlasting dampness.
He couldn't take Duan Hongji away from a dead man because Duan Hongji sank to the bottom of the sea voluntarily.
It's just a dead man! It's just a dead man!
Theodore's facial muscles twitched slightly.
Suddenly, Theodore slammed his fist on the table!
The punch was so powerful that it left a thin crack on the wooden table. The movement was so strong that it accidentally scratched the mouse. The video screen flashed rapidly and Theodore immediately let go of his hand.
The surveillance footage stopped at the records of the last few days, and Theodore was shocked to find that there was an extra person next to Duan Hongji in the video.
It was a young woman, beautiful and charming like a peach or plum. Duan Hongji and she chatted and laughed while walking side by side, and they cleaned the garden together.
It was Fu Dongshu.
Theodore had an excellent memory and immediately figured out the key.
It turned out to be the case.
That's it!
In order to commemorate that woman, Duan Hongji actually found a substitute and brought her to this garden!
No wonder Uncle Lu said that he had seen Mrs. Duan a few days ago. It turned out that Duan Hongji brought in Fu Dongshu as a substitute.
Grandpa Lu is old and his eyesight is blurry, and Fu Dongshu looks so much like A-Xia. Unless a normal person sees it with their own eyes, they would never believe that there are two people in the world who look so similar.
Plus, rich people always take good care of themselves, so Uncle Lu believed that Fu Dongshu was A-Xia.
Theodore was not some saintly father on earth, he was never a good person. He could tolerate Axia's existence not because he was broad-minded and willing to be a male concubine, but because Axia was completely dead and became a mark on Duan Hongji's soul, and Theodore could do nothing about it.
But a stand-in? A lowly stand-in who also wants to steal Duan Hongji's attention?
Theodore raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a grim, cruel smile.
Duan Hongji only gave Theodore cold rejection, disdainful eyes, and a back view that could never be redeemed. However, this substitute received Duan Hongji's care and protection just because of a face.
Disgusting luck.
What he can't get, others can't even imagine.
