Chapter 261: 225 is the scent of your perfume (Seeking monthly tickets)

Lin An was good at thinking and quickly figured out Professor Cao’s plan.

It was nothing more than luring Mr. Liu and Chen Xinmi out with a feigned death, and then, in the last glimmer of life, annihilate them both to clear obstacles for the future development of Shenhou City.

This might be an opportunity!

Lin An keenly sensed this chance; perhaps he could help his master achieve this.

In that case, couldn’t Professor Cao use his remaining energy to find a way to survive…

Or would he not cling desperately to him in his final moments, seeing him as a last straw?

His feelings were quite complicated.

There was both gratitude towards this master and vigilance against him.

Following that, Lin An came almost every day to check on Professor Cao, also watching to see when Mr. Liu and Chen Xinmi would appear.

But they did not.

Shenhou City was calm, as if these two had vanished into thin air.

The Witches’ Assembly was the first organization to be completely incorporated into the Sorcerer’s Sanctuary, oh, it should be called ‘Wizard’s College.’

Next were the members of Mr. Liu’s former ‘Mad Warlock’s Hollow’ Organization and the unaffiliated loners outside the two major wizard groups, all picked and recruited into our ranks by my subordinates.

The Witch Hunter Knights were like madmen, repeatedly sweeping through the city, capturing wizards: some were killed on the spot, others were harvested to make sorcerer zombies and skin turned into armor, or sent to the Wizard’s College.

Under the leadership of the new Antler Leader, Doctor Zhang, Shenhou City’s Supernatural World began to slowly take on a more regulated form.

At the Wizard’s College, with the addition of Zhuang, Fatty Bro, and Coat Grandpa, three Witch-hunting Knights, the institution formally began its teaching.

Changes happened so swiftly, yet it seemed like they were always meant to be this way.

Lin An didn’t get involved; he dedicated more energy to game development, or rather, ‘Spirit Drawing.’

He even moved back to live in his own home, only occasionally stopping by.

That day, Lin An arrived at the company early.

According to the progress report from his subordinate, Zheng Miao, the ‘Green-robed Witch’s’ model should be available for him today.

He was somewhat impatient.

The rhythm of the Spiritual Portrait, transforming from static to dynamic, does it not mean that Lin An could interpret these spirits from a different angle?

Mr. Liu, Chen Xinmi, Chen Shuyun, Professor Cao.

Having drawn their spirits and placing them on different carriers to grant them motion, this might really be a good method.

Lin An even had a sense of Spirit Intuition that this time he might grasp the essence of drawing spirits!

Once drawn, dealing with many things would indeed become much easier.

But despite waiting left and right, Lin An did not see Zheng Miao come to work.

He glanced at the time on the bottom left corner of the computer screen, frowned, and walked out of his office to the special project team’s office. Looking around, everyone except Zheng Miao had arrived at work.

“Did Director Zheng take a day off today?”

He asked the others, but they all shook their heads.

So Lin An took out his phone to call Zheng Miao. The call wasn’t answered, and after several unsuccessful attempts, his eyes narrowed.

He then called HR, but there was no news.

Late for work?

Lin An smacked his lips but didn’t blame her. He turned to another employee also involved in the matter and said, “Mr. Chen, send me the materials for the witch model.”

Mr. Chen wasn’t old but half of his hair was white, often leading people to overestimate his age.

He himself jokingly called it the white of happiness because, despite the great pressure from having triplet daughters, he felt quite fortunate.

“Sure, team leader.”

Mr. Chen quickly operated on the computer, logging into the server with his account.

Lin An took another glance at Zheng Miao’s workspace and headed back to his office.

After some time, however, Mr. Chen’s arranged materials did not appear on the computer. Instead, Mr. Chen rushed in hastily.

“Team leader!”

He swallowed nervously, his face pale, “It’s gone!”

Lin An was stunned for a moment, “What’s gone?”

“The finished witch model!” Mr. Chen said, his eyes filled with panic, “Not just the finished product, all data related to the witch modeling has disappeared from the server!”

“!!!”

…

“Did the technicians check it? Who cleared the data from the server!” the frazzled boss stormed into the office area.

The tech wiz from the Caidai Witch industry was currently leading the team in checking the server and all the computers. On hearing this, they all looked at the boss.

The boss paused, “What’s with that look?”

Lin An sighed beside them, “No one has the authority to delete such an amount of data from the server all at once, except for the company’s boss!”

“Who?” The boss looked at Lin An with wide eyes.

Lin An stared back, “Your account!”

“!!!”

“Impossible! Am I crazy?” the boss realized the problem, “Was my admin account stolen?”

“In fact, it’s not as simple as just the account being stolen. The perpetrator didn’t use any server hacking tactics, but directly logged in with your account and password.”

Caidai Witch beckoned Lin An and the boss to the office, “Our company’s security cameras all malfunctioned, so I hacked into the cameras near the software park.”

As the two turned to look, he shrugged and set down his laptop.

“I know it’s illegal, but it’s very effective,”

“Come check out these video clips.”

With a click of the mouse, one of the videos began to play; it must have been from an elevator surveillance camera, showing Zheng Miao whistling with a smile on his face.

Caidai pointed to the numbers in the corner of the screen, “Look, this is from last night at 12:13 AM.”

“Is that her?” the young boss was stunned.

“Now look at this one…” Caidai Witch clicked to open another video.

It was again an elevator scene.

“This is the elevator surveillance two hours later…” He clicked the video playback speed shortcut, and you could see Zheng Miao walking into the elevator.

As he stopped his finger, Zheng Miao suddenly looked up at the camera, the corners of her mouth turning up ever so slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

“Damn it, that’s a provocation!!!” The young boss was furious, slamming down on the table, “Call the police! Report it as business espionage…”

Before he could finish, Caidai Witch shook his head again, “In fact, I hacked into the Empire Talent Database, and do you know what I saw?”

“What?” The young boss was somewhat impatient.

Lin An, with his arms crossed, leaned against a table nearby, narrowing his eyes and listening silently.

Caidai Witch glanced at them and opened a screenshot of a browser, “This person, Zheng Miao, has been working at an art exhibition planning organization for the past six months, located in the capital.”

The young boss leaned in close to the computer, staring at the familiar-looking resume portrait, “Are you saying…?”

“She’s not Zheng Miao!” Caidai Witch provided the answer, “Someone has been impersonating her to get into the company!”

He spread his hands, “Apparently she’s been employed at the company for almost half a year. To not raise any suspicions due to professional skills and appearance for such a long time, I suspect there’s the involvement of transcendent powers.”

This was a bit preposterous.

A transcendent who could fool his father, Antler Leader, and the occasional searches of the Witch Hunter Knights in the city, impersonates someone to work in his company?

What for?

Foll𝑜w current novels on fɾēewebnσveℓ.com.

It couldn’t possibly be for his good looks, right?

Oh~

Right, this Zheng Miao seemed to be handpicked by Lin An, who would call Lin An ‘idol’ all the time. Could it be for Lin An’s good looks and talent?

And then, recently Lin An appeared to be sleeping with Chen Shuyun. Maybe this ‘Zheng Miao’ sensed something, caught the scent of perfume on Lin An?

So, to get back at this heartbreaker, she deleted all of Lin An’s hard work and stormed off in a huff?

The young boss’s wild imagination instantly conjured up the plot of dozens of melodramatic soap opera episodes.

Behind him, the corner of Lin An’s eye twitched.

He watched the young boss in disbelief, his mind seemingly turning into a Husky, passionately theorizing how An had been a scoundrel and the witch had been deeply affectionate and desperate…

Are you crazy?

At a time like this!

Lin An really wanted to kick the young boss in the rear.

“There’s another video, but you may need to brace yourselves…” Caidai Witch looked at the young boss and Lin An with an odd expression.

Seeing that they both leaned in, he clicked to play another video.

This video seemed to be shot from outside the building, automatically focusing on their floor, with two figures in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows outlined in red.

“What’s this?” the young boss stared blankly at the surveillance footage from his own office, with a lip-reading program translating his speech onto the screen.

——Oh my, Mr. Chen, how could that be, we’re not doing a wizard theme, hahaha, it’s strange for you to say that, our announced game planning direction is a fantasy theme alright, but it’s focused on monsters, not wizards…

In the neighboring office, Lin An’s half silhouette was visible, back towards the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He seemed to be busy at the computer, but his swaying body and the hands occasionally appearing in the monitor suggested he was doing something odd.

One person looked particularly humble, uncontrollably bowing even when on the phone.

Another seemed particularly neurotic, like a madman.

“What is this!” the young boss asked again, his voice distorted with emotion.

Caidai Witch glanced at him, “I hacked into all the surveillance equipment of other software companies in the software park, and I accidentally found this video recording. It seems like someone has been keeping an eye on you!”

“Damn it!”

The young boss roared, “Enough is enough! It must be that person who installed surveillance in my office last time!”

Caidai is really something else.

Back when Lin An was a programmer, he didn’t have these tricks, treating the entire software park like his personal playground, free to roam at will.

But obviously, he had underestimated Caidai’s capability.

Caidai pulled up another document, “This is what I found after hacking into the Empire Housing Authority’s database; the room where this camera is located was part of the residential buildings developed by the software park.”

The young boss gave him a puzzled glance.

“Apartments for commercial use were sold, but because of the high prices and inactive business circles at the time, not many were sold, and several buildings were taken back by the software park and converted to office buildings.”

“This apartment is one of those sold, and the homeowner is…”

Caidai Witch motioned for the young boss to take a look.

“My dad?” The young boss’s eyes bulged as he stared unbelievingly at the homeowner’s name.

Caidai Witch nodded, then pulled up a mass of data, “It changed hands a few times, first mortgaged to a company, that company then lent it at no cost to a group called ‘Magic Club’ for paranormal enthusiasts as an activity location, and later it was rented out again…”

“After very complicated procedures, the ownership of this apartment has become unclear, and it seems several parties could reclaim this apartment.”

“But I discovered that among the companies, the name of a very familiar person suddenly appeared as the legal representative.”

He opened a saved webpage from a business information search site, prominently featuring the company’s legal representative as—Liu Yuanmou, Mr. Liu.

“!!!” The young boss’s hand gripped the armrest of his chair tightly, veins popping out.
