Li MO had just walked out of the office when he heard Huo Xunzhou’s call and turned back.
“My phone isn’t in the office.” He looked around.
“Get the secretary to call the front desk and ask if Lin Shanchu has left the company. If she hasn’t…’
Huo Xunzhou suddenly fell silent.
“What should we do if she didn’t leave the company? “Go to the rooftop.” Huo Xunzhou’s voice was slightly hoarse.
“Understood.” Li MO was startled.
Li MO went to the secretary’s office and asked the secretary to call the front desk.
“Hello, this is the secretary’s office. Did you see President Lin leave the company?”
The voice of the receptionist came from the phone that had the speaker mode turned on. “I didn’t see President Lin leave the company just now.”
“All right, thank you.”
The secretary hung up and asked Li MO worriedly, “President Lin… What happened to her?”
They had all heard the commotion when Lin Shanchu smashed the office.
Everyone had seen Lin Shanchu’s ruthless manner when she smashed the door yesterday.
That was why no one dared to ask her what was wrong after hearing her smashing the office.
“She didn’t take her Dhone with her. I need to talk to her about something.” Li MO brushed it off with a few words and turned to walk toward the stairs.
Huo Xunzhou didn’t hang up the whole time.
Li MO entered the emergency door at the stairwell before telling Huo Xunzhou, “Big Brother, I’ll go to the rooftop now.”
The rooftop was located right above the current level.
Li MO was tall and had long legs. He walked quickly and soon arrived at the entrance of the rooftop.
He reached out to push the door, only to find that it was locked from the inside. “Is the door locked?” Huo Xunzhou heard Li MO pushing the door open.
“The door is locked. Ms. Lin must be inside. ‘
Big Brother was always good at making predictions.
If it wasn’t for the urgency of the situation, he would have asked Huo Xunzhou how he had guessed that Ms. Lin was on the rooftop. “Ms. Lin!” Li MO kicked the door while shouting. There was no response from the rooftop.
The door was very sturdy.
Li MO used all his strength to kick the door, but there was no movement.
He needed to use the tools.
“Big Brother, when are you coming? Should we call the police?” Li MO was starting to become anxious.
Ms. Lin’s usual style of doing things was undiscernable. Even if she had something on her mind, she would not say anything.
What if she really took things too hard and chose to jump off the building?
His big brother wouldn’t be able to find such a bewitching wife who was excellent at cooking!
It was so hard to find someone like that in this world.
“Don’t call the police.” Hurried footsteps and breathing could be heard from Huo Xunzhou’s end.
It was as if he was running.
“I’ll go to the office to get a hammer.” Fortunately, Miss Lin had bought a hammer yesterday. It should be able to break the door open.
“I’ll bring it here.”
“Huh?”
Li MO did not react for a moment.
By the time he reacted, Huo Xunzhou had already hung up.
At the same time.
In the office area on each floor of the Lu Corporation, the employees were working seriously as usual.
Suddenly.
Bam!
The entire company went out of power in an instant.
All the powered equipment stopped working in an instant.
The corridor was pitch black.
Zhou Yan stood at the elevator and was about to take the elevator downstairs so that he could pick up Lu Shiyuan at the police station.
There was a sudden blackout, so the elevator stopped working.
Zhou Yan turned on his phone and looked at the time.
There was not much time left.
Zhou Yan could only turn around and walk toward the stairwell.
He knew that he did not have much time left. Hence, he pushed open the door of the emergency exit and quickly ran downstairs.
Therefore, he did not notice a tall figure standing behind the door.
Huo Xunzhou glanced in the direction where Zhou Yan had left.
He reached out and pressed the brim of his cap down before pushing the door open and entering.
Zhou Yan, who had already run down, stopped in his tracks as if he just sensed something.
He turned back, opened the door of the emergency exit, and looked around.
After making sure that no one was there, he left with a suspicious expression.
It was strange.
Just now, he clearly felt that someone was observing him from the shadows.
On the rooftop.
Lin Shanchu leaned against the railing and bent over to look down.
There was an endless stream of cars on the road.
There were many buildings and clusters of trees in the distance.
The sun was scorching above her head.
This world was so vast.
But it was so absurd.
The one filled with sins became the main character.
People who wanted to live with dignity were trampled on instead.
There was no justice in this world.
Human dignity was not even worth mentioning.
Your faith will be destroyed.
Even if you go through hardships and thorns, you can’t reach the other side.
You don’t even deserve to be yourself.
You’re just a marionette.
Lin Shanchu slowly stood up and climbed up the railing.
The wind on the roof was strong.
Her dress fluttered in the wind.
The concrete railing was narrow, but it was wide enough to fit her feet.
She slowly raised a foot and extended it forward.
Once she missed this step…
Could it end the pain?
[Level 1 alert! The host’s intention to commit suicide has been detected!
[When the host’s intention to commit suicide reaches 99%, the system will forcefully intervene!
[The host’s current intention to commit suicide is 9%!] Lin Shanchu sneered while retracting her foot.
The system would not let her die.
She did expect it to happen.
She didn’t even deserve to die.
But Jing Ming was dead.
Innocent people were sacrificed just to become stepping stones on the main lead’s path of evil.
If one must be sinful in order to become the main lead…
Why couldn’t it be her?
[Special alert! The host’s intention to become evil has reached 60%! The level is rising to 61%, 62%… 100%! Bang!]
There was a sound that sounded like an explosion.
The system finally quieted down.
But soon, its voice sounded again.
[The host’s evil meter is off the charts. The measuring instrument has exploded!]
Then, there was another loud bang.
Thud!
Did the stupid system explode again?
The system sensed Lin Shanchu’s thoughts. “Someone’s knocking on the door.”
Another thud sounded soon after.
Lin Shanchu looked in the direction of the voice.
Someone smashed the rooftop door open violently.
A tall man pushed the door open and entered.
The midday sun was so scorching that she couldn’t open her eyes.
Lin Shanchu narrowed her eyes, unable to see the man’s face clearly.
He walked toward her under the bright sunlight, which made him look even more dazzling than the sunlight itself.
“Lin Shanchu.”
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Shanchu raised her hand to block the sunlight, allowing her to see the man’s face.
Huo Xunzhou took off his mask and cap, revealing his handsome face.
His beautiful and alluring eyes sparkled under the sunlight.
Lin Shanchu folded her hands behind her back and looked down at Huo
Xunzhou.
His face was really impeccable.
No matter which angle she looked at it from, it was exceptionally handsome and flawless.
“Come down.” Huo Xunzhou reached out to her.
Lin Shanchu acted as if she didn’t hear him and replied with a smile, “You’re back from your business trip so soon.”
“Come down.” Huo Xunzhou repeated, his magnetic voice growing a little deeper.
“Why aren’t you in a wheelchair?” Lin Shanchu tried to change the subject, refusing to come down from her spot at all.
Huo Xunzhou stared at her. Suddenly, he stated, “Stop smiling.” The look in his eyes made Lin Shanchu’s smile disappear.
Huo Xunzhou clearly didn’t know what she had experienced.
However, he could always see through her at a glance..
