Chapter 143: The Wind Whispers, Every Blade of Grass is a Soldier

  The first floor hall of Donghua Building, Zhuo Wenjun's face was cold, looking at all the people in front of her. These were all members of the intelligence department of Donghua Pharmaceutical, including the security guards responsible for watching the door. Even those who went out to collect intelligence and monitor, as well as employees on vacation, had all returned. About a hundred people gathered together, making the originally empty hall suddenly crowded.

  Bursting into the general manager's office, being subdued by thieves without being discovered, freely entering and exiting, this makes Zhuo Wenjun, who thought that security was perfect, feel ashamed and worried.

  To know, the thief broke into her office in the middle of the night. If it were daytime, with many people around, it would be understandable if no one noticed. But the incident happened at night. At this time, there are hardly any people in the company, and anyone entering or leaving the general manager's office would be very conspicuous, like a louse on a bald head, plain to see. However, even under such circumstances, the security department still did not react when the thief appeared, which is simply dereliction of duty, serious dereliction of duty. Fortunately, nothing was stolen from the office; if something had been stolen, it would have caused big trouble.

  "Everyone is here." Liu Jiajia whispered to Zhuo Wenjun. It was said that the young lady's office had been broken into, and Liu Jiajia was first shocked, wondering who had such a big nerve to break into the general manager's office in Donghua. Then came self-blame, she hadn't followed the young lady closely, protecting her safety, if something happened to the young lady, she would have to disembowel herself to apologize.

  Zhuo Wenjun gazed coldly at everyone present, walking closer to them and beginning to scrutinize each one carefully. Her gaze was sharp, like two pointed ice cones, piercing directly into every person's eyes and stabbing into their hearts, leaving no thought in anyone's mind able to escape.

  Because the thief was wearing a hat and mask, and dressed in a white coat, she couldn't find any distinctive features on his body, but she remembered his eyes. The eyes seemed familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before. As soon as she thought that this person might have been someone she had met before, perhaps even lurking around her own side, a deep sense of unease surged up in Zhuo Wenjun's heart.

  Has the thief ever entered his own office before? Is this the first time? Or has he come countless times, only to be caught by himself this time?

  At this thought, Zhuo Wenjun's eyes turned fierce, and even her normally calm demeanor couldn't hide the thick killing intent emanating from her body. Not only did he enter her office, but he also wanted to tie her up - it was simply too much!

  She would pause in front of each person, not just to observe with her eyes, but also to exert pressure on the other party. She thought that although the thief had escaped, he must be extremely nervous and frightened at this moment, and under the pressure she gave him, he would definitely reveal himself.

  Ninety people, Zhuo Wenjun spent a long time looking through them. She stood in front of her, closed her eyes. I don't know if the thief was not inside at all, or if human eyes were too complicated and good at disguising themselves. After looking through these people, she still couldn't find that familiar yet strange pair of eyes. Maybe it was because her heart was full of vigilance, sometimes she even felt that every pair of eyes was the same as the one she saw back then.

  "An hour ago, a thief entered my office," Zhuo Wenjun said calmly. "Although the thief didn't steal anything, this is a very heinous act. If it was one of you, I hope you can step forward. Of course, if you think someone is suspicious tonight, you can also report them. Now, I'll give each of you a piece of paper and write down the person you suspect. Once verified, the reward will be 200,000 yuan."

  Two hundred thousand?!

  For a thief, Zhuo Wenjun has paid a lot. A reward of 200,000 yuan is enough to show how much Zhuo Wenjun cares about this matter.

  Liu Jiajia gave each person a piece of paper and a pen, letting them put the paper on the front desk after they finished writing.

  Five minutes passed, and a strange thing happened. Within these five minutes, no one wrote their name on the paper. A few people's faces showed a hint of reminiscence, but in the end, they all shook their heads and ruled themselves out. As for the others, they didn't even think about it.

  There are only two possibilities for this situation. Either these ninety people have colluded with each other and are preparing to overthrow Donghua Pharmaceuticals, or they really know nothing at all.

  Seeing this scene, Liu Jiajia's face looked very ugly, which means that there was no clue at all. On the contrary, Zhuo Wenjun seemed to be very calm, as if she had guessed it a long time ago.

  "Who's on duty in the monitoring room tonight?" Liu Jiajia asked sternly. The Intelligence Department of Donghua Building, as well as these security guards, were usually under her responsibility. Tonight, such a big thing happened, she couldn't shirk the blame, so she was extremely angry inside.

  "I...!"

  "I...!"

  Upon hearing Liu Jiajia's question, the two men responded loudly. They stood up straight with their heads held high and chests out, clearly former soldiers.

  "Have you been in the monitoring room all night?" Liu Jiajia asked.

  "Yes!"

  "Has anyone found any suspicious person?"

  "No!"

  "Have you guys seen anyone enter Miss's office?"

  "No!"

  Liu Jiajia looked at the two people seriously, and their answers were all very concise, not like they were lying. But if it wasn't them lying, then Zhuo Wenjun must be lying. However, Miss was absolutely impossible to lie. So what's going on? Could it be that the thief flew into the Donghua Building?

  "Go to the monitoring room." Zhuo Wenjun said coldly.

  Inside the monitoring room, Zhuo Wenjun expressionlessly watched the surveillance video of the entire building tonight. Liu Jiajia stood beside him, staring intently at the screen, not even letting go of a fly on the screen. She was anxious, really anxious.

  "Wait!" Zhuo Wenjun suddenly spoke up after a long silence.

  The security guard in charge immediately pressed pause.

  "Go back half a minute."

  The operator rewound the tape back half a minute according to Zhuo Wenjun's request and then started playing it.

  "What's going on?" Zhuo Wenjun asked, pointing at one of the screens.

  "Last night, several drunk drivers crashed into the wall of a building. After getting out of the car, they were acting wildly and urinating everywhere. Later, they were taken away by the police. The whole thing lasted about 20 minutes, during which others went to deal with it, and we didn't leave the monitoring room."

  Zhuo Wenjun nodded and stared at the screen for a long time before saying, "Continue!"

  The paused screen started moving again.

  "That's...?" Zhuo Wenjun suddenly pointed to another screen. On the screen, two people wearing white coats walked out of the corridor, looking like two ghosts.

  "Oh, those are R&D department staff."

  "What are they doing?"

  "I don't know, probably just tired, wandering around the corridor. It's common for researchers to do this at night, and also smoke on the rooftop or exercise by climbing stairs." The security guard replied truthfully.

  "That's not right!" Liu Jiajia said doubtfully, "Last night I was guarding the R&D department, everyone was studying the experimental records brought back by the young lady, except for going to the bathroom, no one left the R&D department."

  Zhuo Wenjun's body stiffened and he hastily said, "Quickly, find a frontal image."

  The operator searched through several tapes, also wondering why there were many clips of these two R&D personnel appearing, but none of them were positive. At this time, even the two security guards felt something was wrong, and their faces became increasingly ugly.

  "It seems it's them!" Zhuo Wenjun said.

  "Look at their figures, they should be a man and a woman!" Liu Jiajia said seriously after observing for a while.

  Zhuo Wenjun nodded in agreement, carefully looking at the two people on the screen, but they were wrapped up tightly and nothing could be seen. It was clear that the two people on the screen had made sufficient preparations. Moreover, researchers from the R&D department came out to get some fresh air and relieve their fatigue, but they didn't remove their masks.

  The security guard's face was ashen, his eyes bloodshot and fixed on the two people in the screen, as if they had some deep-seated vendetta.

  "Cut together all the scenes where they appear."

  "Yes!"

  Zhuo Wenjun and Liu Jiajia walked out of the monitoring room and returned to the hall. They excluded people with inconsistent figures, leaving twenty-one people behind. Among these twenty-one people, three were women and eighteen were men. However, the three women were from the R&D department and had alibis. Of the eighteen men, three were from the R&D department and six were on duty, so they were also excluded. In the end, only nine men remained. Zhuo Wenjun thought for a moment before dismissing everyone.

  "Miss, aren't you going to check?" Liu Jiajia asked strangely.

  "No need to check, those two people are not from our company." Zhuo Wenjun said calmly.

  "Isn't it our company's? But the surveillance video we saw earlier, those two people were extremely familiar with the Donghua Building, even knowing the location of the monitors. If they weren't our own people, who else would know such details?" Liu Jiajia analyzed.

  "I'm asking you!" Zhuo Wenjun looked at Liu Jiajia and said, "In the company, who can match your consecutive kicks?"

  "Linking kicks? No one will!" Liu Jiajia shook her head and said, "When I was training, I never taught them. Miss, you should know that this is my own creation."

  "But that man will."

  "What? Impossible!" Liu Jiajia was shocked.

  "That man, will chain kick you." Zhuo Wenjun said seriously to Liu Jiajia, "And each of his kicks is more powerful than yours, but I can feel that he held back, didn't use his full strength."

  Liu Jiajia stared blankly at Zhuo Wenjun, unsure of what to say. Her own unique skill had actually been learned by a man, and he was even better at it than she was? This... how could this be possible?

  "Have you ever demonstrated in front of anyone? Or were you seen when you practiced?" asked Zhuo Wenjun.

  "No way, I've never practiced this at the company before, nor have I ever demonstrated this combo kick to anyone... but..."

  "But what?"

  "It was half a month ago, when Wu Tian came looking for trouble that time, I used this trick on him. There were many people who saw it then... Maybe someone stole the technique from me back then..."

  Zhuo Wenjun heard and was slightly stunned, then fell into deep thought.

  Could it be him?
