Chapter 69 She has probably become the Marshal's Achilles' heel.

Silence fell over the car again.

Mu Ze said no more and sat up straight again. But he felt as if each day was an eternity.

The numbers on the car timer relentlessly skipped past 19:00.

Muze quickly returned to the car.

"Marshal," he reported, "the staff on duty also couldn't contact Miss Ning. He asked the vice president and confirmed that Miss Ning left work early today."

Mu Ze's face showed shame and unease.

During the last confirmation, he made a major oversight, causing the marshal, whose time was of the essence, to wait here for more than an hour in vain.

The atmosphere inside the car was somber.

Mu Ze opened his mouth and tentatively asked, "Marshal, should I send Miss Ning a message?"

"No need."

Situ Linchen leaned back in his chair, withdrew his gaze from the personal terminal, and looked up at the Rose Society's top-shaped building.

Then, he tapped the vehicle's control panel a few times with his long, slender fingers.

"Let's go."

His voice came through, as if it came from an extremely cold place.

Upon hearing this, Mu Ze sat up straight.

The hovercar started, the engine roared, and it quickly rose into the air, detaching itself from the traffic on the ground.

Less than half a minute later, the car's AI alert sounded.

[Marshal, we have arrived at the designated navigation location.]

As soon as the car door opened, Mu Ze quickly stepped out and stood to one side, waiting for the Marshal to get off.

At this moment, they were on the VIP helipad on the top floor of the Rose Club building.

Situ Linchen stepped out.

He frowned as he looked down at the building below, and sternly ordered Mu Ze: "Contact the president of the Rose Society. Tell him to bring all the senior members here to see me within ten minutes."

At night, the Rose Society building is brightly lit.

The president, vice president, and director, who had already gone home to rest, all boarded the fastest aircraft and rushed to the rooftop helipad where the night wind howled.

Situ Linchen stood there, his eyes like cold pools, sweeping over the crowd in front of him.

Where are my men?

He asked the question, his voice filled with imposing authority.

The dozens of senior executives standing in front of him were all silent and trembling, not daring to utter a sound.

The president steeled himself and stepped forward, bowing respectfully. "Marshal, are you referring to... Miss Ning Shuyin?"

Situ Linchen completely ignored him.

His gaze passed over the chairman and settled on the fat man in the crowd whose face was pale and whose eyes were darting around.

"Vice President, step forward." He called out the name.

The heavily pregnant vice president trembled and stumbled, almost rolling out of the crowd.

"Marshal, what are your orders?"

"You tell me," Situ Linchen said coldly, "Where did Ning Shuyin go?"

The vice president wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly, "I...I approved her leaving get off work early. It was...my concern for my subordinate."

Upon hearing this, Situ Linchen's face turned as cold as ice.

He raised his wrist and tapped his command terminal.

A holographic light screen was projected in front of everyone.

The screen displayed the surveillance footage from the entrance of the Rose Club building.

"Your answer is interesting. The Alliance military's surveillance system covers all public areas on Planet A. I saw her enter this building this morning, but I didn't see her come out. Now, she's disappeared from your Rose Society."

"Now, I'll ask you one more time."

Situ Linchen's gaze was as if he were looking at a dead man.

Where did you take her?

A restless energy field was faintly visible around this League of Legends God of Slaughter.

The vice president's psychological defenses have completely collapsed.

With a "thump".

His legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk,” he confessed, almost wailing. “She…she’s in storage room B18. I asked her to tidy up some things, and she’s probably still working overtime.”

Upon hearing "organize the storage room," Situ Linchen's eyes suddenly darkened.

He recalled Ning Shuyin at the Alice Space Station, looking up at him and telling him that she was often sent to work through the night cleaning up the waste storage at the Rose Society.

At that time, he only felt dissatisfied.

Now, this suppressed emotion has been completely ignited.

He looked at the vice president, who was slumped like a rag doll, and said in a cold, ruthless voice:

"Whether the overtime work was reasonable or whether there was any illegal exploitation of employees, I will have the investigation department conduct a thorough investigation. You maliciously concealed her whereabouts and lied to me; I will settle this score with you personally."

"Now, take me to see her first."

After speaking, Situ Linchen's gaze was like a knife, sweeping across the vice president's face as if engraving his appearance into his mind.

Then, he simply turned away with a flick of his sleeve.

Seeing this, Mu Ze quickly said, "Two people, lead the way. The rest of you, stay here and await the Marshal's decision!"

The chairman and warehouse director hurriedly jogged to lead the way.

Only when the marshal's figure disappeared at the end of the passage did the air begin to flow again.

"Gulp." Someone swallowed hard.

The next second, suppressed murmurs began to spread.

"My God, the Marshal's expression just now almost took my breath away..."

"Didn't the Marshal look down on Ning Shuyin? Why is he now..."

"You're telling me this is what you call not liking her? You actually used CCTV to monitor her going to and from get off work, and then waited for her outside the company."

"The vice president is finished. How many times have we bullied her before? Always making her work overtime..."

"He dared to lie to the marshal; he was courting death..."

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

The vice president collapsed to the ground in despair, unable to move an inch.

The cold ground sucked away the last bit of heat from his body.

how so?

How is that possible?

He stared intently in the direction of the warehouse, his eyes filled with shock and fear.

Ning Shuyin was at his mercy, ordered around at will, and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

He was an easy target who could be assigned any dirty or strenuous task.

Looking back on all the difficulties he had caused in the past, those actions that once brought him a sense of superiority have now become a death knell.

She actually... became the marshal's woman?

It's all over!

The bone-chilling cold made him tremble uncontrollably.

No, it's all that person's fault—Bi Fei!

It was that Bi Fei who told him with absolute certainty that the Marshal had absolutely no interest in Ning Shuyin.

Ning Shuyin's date ended in failure.

And what was the result?

Are you just waiting anxiously outside the company gate for people to get off work?

So she can monitor the entire planet A? If she can't find anyone, she just calls back the whole Rose Society late at night.

Is this what you call a failed date?

Ning Shuyin will most likely become Situ Linchen's Achilles' heel.

"Bifei, you bitch, you've ruined me! It's all because of you that I misjudged the situation."

The vice president's eyes were filled with resentment.

He suddenly sat up and hugged the marshal's personal guard next to him.

"My lord... I... I have something to tell the marshal! I was maliciously misled!"

Five minutes later.

Storage compartment B18.

This is a rarely used warehouse that might not be opened even once every six months.

Neither the president nor the warehouse director carried a personal key.

The heavy metal door had been forcibly melted open from the outside, leaving a large hole, the edges still bearing the reddish hue of high temperature.

Situ Linchen stepped in.

The warehouse was completely dark.

The warehouse manager quickly turned on the interior lighting from the control panel.

With a "snap".

The warehouse was illuminated by particle light sources all around.

Within the vast space, cargo stacks floated like a maze.

However, the place was completely empty.
