Under the Weibo post, there was an attached segment of restored video. Although its clarity was not yet of ultra-high-definition quality, it was clear enough to identify the people in the frame.
The surveillance footage showed that after Huo Ximian came out of the secret room, she took advantage of the fact that Ye Wanlan was still inside and closed the door to the room.
Her actions were very covert, and no one else noticed.
But from this angle, all of Huo Ximian's behavior was exposed without a trace left hidden.
If you looked closely, you could even see the unmasked joy and satisfaction on her face.
What followed was the footage of the director and other guests questioning why Huo Ximian had locked Ye Wanlan in the secret room and Huo Ximian's vehement denials.
Netizens were stunned.
[...???]
[What is Huo Ximian doing? That look of triumph on your face, what's that all about?]
[You could say it's downright malicious, am I right?]
