Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

"Is there CCTV footage?"

Ling Yuyan's gaze swept across the office.

"have!"

Lin Wanrou immediately pointed to the door, "I had Gu Changming remove the surveillance cameras in the office, leaving only the two cameras at the elevator entrance and in the corridor."

She didn't want to be monitored, and she was also afraid that someone would film Qin Quan touching her inappropriately, so she removed all the surveillance cameras in the office.

"Um!"

Ling Yuyan nodded, understanding in her heart.

"Now I can confirm three things: First, the thief was an employee of the company; second, the theft occurred before midnight last night; and third, the thief was male."

How did you determine that?

Lin Wanrou was shocked. She had been busy for most of the day without any clues, while Ling Yuyan had locked onto three key clues in just a few minutes.

Qin Quan, who was standing to the side, also looked surprised.

He had checked it out himself, but found no clues whatsoever.

How did Second Senior Sister manage to do that?

Ling Yuyan leaned down, pointed to the window frame and the floor below the windowsill, and said:

"There's a size 42 shoe print here, which was probably left intentionally by the thief."

As she spoke, she walked over to the safe and picked up two short strands of hair from the bottom of the safe.

"This is the hair of an adult male, black and thick. It must have fallen out accidentally when he was unlocking the door, so that's the basis of my judgment."

Why would he deliberately leave footprints?

Lin Wanrou pressed for an answer.

"They're trying to mislead us."

Ling Yuyan sneered, "He wants us to think he climbed in through the window, but this is the 36th floor. Even a Martial King would have to climb, and there's not a trace of climbing on the outer wall."

She paused for a moment, then continued her analysis.

"Furthermore, the fact that he was able to open the safe without a scratch means he's definitely a lock-picking expert. If we check the employee records, we'll surely be able to find him."

The analysis was so logical and well-founded that Qin Quan and Lin Wanrou were stunned and filled with nothing but admiration.

As expected of the leader of Fengyu Tower, his investigative methods are truly remarkable.

"President Lin, Captain Gu is here!"

Ye Qiu's voice suddenly came, and she hurriedly led Gu Changming into the room.

As soon as Gu Changming arrived, Lin Wanrou gave him direct instructions:

"Captain Gu, immediately make a copy of last night's surveillance video!"

"yes!"

Gu Changming didn't dare to delay and turned to leave.

He returned in less than ten minutes, looking pale, flustered, and his voice trembling.

"President Lin, Brother Quan, something terrible has happened! The surveillance footage from 9 PM to midnight last night has been formatted and is completely unrecoverable!"

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He had only been hospitalized for two days, and such a big thing had happened at the company. As the security captain, he was responsible and had let down Lin Wanrou and Qin Quan's trust.

"I know who the thief is."

A glint of light flashed in Ling Yuyan's eyes, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"If he doesn't delete the surveillance footage, I still have to spend time investigating; now that he's proactively deleting it, it's clearly a case of protesting too much!"

She gave the order immediately.

"Go to the security room and check two things: who's absent today, who's wearing size 42 shoes, and who knows how to pick locks!"

Qin Quan reacted instantly.

To be able to silently delete surveillance footage and meet these three conditions, there must be no one else besides the security guard on duty!

"Walk!"

At Qin Quan's command, he led Lin Wanrou, Ling Yuyan, and their group to rush downstairs to the security room.

They walked hurriedly, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Inside the security guard's room.

When the security guards saw Qin Quan and his group burst in, they immediately stood up and saluted, not daring to breathe loudly.

Qin Quan's gaze was like a knife as he swept over the crowd and coldly demanded:

Who was on duty last night?

"Reporting to Brother Quan! Wang Xiaojun and Feng Sanyou were on duty last night!"

The deputy captain of security quickly stepped forward and responded loudly.

During the few days that Gu Changming was away, he temporarily took over as captain, and he was afraid of making the slightest mistake.

"Which of them wears size 42 shoes?"

"Wang Xiaojun!"

The vice-captain answered directly.

"Does he know how to pick locks?"

"meeting!"

One of the security guards immediately chimed in, "I once drank with him, and he got drunk. He said that before becoming a security guard, he was a locksmith, and he was exceptionally skilled!"

"That's him, go to the staff dormitory!"

Qin Quan's eyes darkened, and without the slightest hesitation, he turned and left.

"Captain Gu, stay!"

Seeing that Gu Changming was about to follow, Qin Quan called out to him sharply.

"Keep the company safe. The Xiuhua Cream is about to be launched; we can't afford any more mistakes!"

"yes!"

Gu Changming clenched his fists, filled with resentment.

He really wanted to grab Wang Xiaojun himself and question him properly, asking why he would do such a petty and despicable thing when President Lin had treated him so well.

But he knew that company safety was paramount, so he had no choice but to stay despite his reluctance.

Half an hour later.

The group rushed to the staff dormitory, and the moment they opened the door, everyone frowned.

Wang Xiaojun's bed was neatly made, his security guard uniform was nowhere to be seen, and his personal belongings had been tidied up, leaving not a trace.

Qin Quan woke up Feng Sanyou, who was fast asleep in the next bed. His face was so dark it could drip water, and he asked sternly:

"Where's Wang Xiaojun? Did he go back to his dormitory after get off work this morning?"

Feng Sanyou was still half asleep when he saw that the person who came was Qin Quan. He was instantly wide awake and stammered,

"Quan... Brother Quan? Wang Xiaojun... He received a phone call at 11 p.m. last night and rushed off without even finishing his shift. I thought he had taken leave."

"broken!"

Qin Quan's heart sank, and a strong sense of foreboding welled up inside him.

"He ran away!"

Without asking any more questions, he grabbed Lin Wanrou and Ling Yuyan's hands and rushed downstairs, pulling out his phone as he ran.

"Only Jiang Yao can find him now, I'll call her!"

Meanwhile, in the basement of the Martial Alliance.

Jiang Yao gripped the enforcement device, following Jin Hai and Liu Chuanwu like a ghost, step by step deeper into the underground palace. The camera clearly recorded the entire process of the two heading towards the sealed land and preparing to release the Zombie King.

Just as she was about to make her move, she tried to slip away quietly when her phone suddenly vibrated violently in her pocket.

"Who?!"

Jin Hai and Liu Chuanwu turned around abruptly, their eyes fixed on the entrance to the underground palace like hawks, their faces full of vigilance and ruthlessness.

Once the secret here is exposed, they will surely die.

Jiang Yao didn't have time to answer the phone. She immediately activated her cultivation technique, and her figure moved like a black shadow as she fled swiftly towards the entrance of the underground palace.

Jin Hai and Liu Chuanwu didn't get a clear look at her face; they only caught a glimpse of a dark shadow flash by, and were immediately terrified.

"Chase her! We must catch her; we can't let the secret be exposed!"

Jin Hai roared and chased after the shadowy figure with Liu Chuanwu.

But just as the two took a step, a loud noise suddenly came from inside the underground palace.

Boom!

The bronze coffin exploded open with a deafening roar, and an extremely terrifying pressure swept over them like a tsunami, making it hard for the two to breathe, and their internal organs were churning.

"Run! If we don't run, we'll all become its snacks!"

Jin Hai was so frightened that his face turned pale and he trembled all over.

They came to release the Zombie King, not to die!

The two of them exerted all their strength to resist the pressure, and ran wildly toward the entrance in a disheveled state. Just as they rushed out of the basement, a roar that shook the heavens and the earth came from behind them.

"Roar roar roar roar!"

The Zombie King has emerged from his coffin!

Outside the underground palace.

A terrifying aura of death swept in, making the air icy cold. Jin Hai and Liu Chuanwu collapsed to the ground, staring at the black mist overflowing from the basement entrance, a sinister smile on their faces.

"It's a success!"

"If the Zombie King emerges from his coffin, Qin Quan will surely die!"
