Chapter 111: Chapter 111
"Let’s see who you are!" Zhang Xiaohao sneered, a cold glint flickering in his eyes. He flipped his hand over and took out a golden bell from the Shennong Ring.
The bell was only the size of a baby’s palm, radiating an ancient aura.
He bit his index finger and, utilizing the Three Pure Daoist Skill, drew an intricate gesture, inscribing a tracking array onto the golden bell.
After all this, Zhang Xiaohao looked at his finger with pained eyes and thought to himself, speechlessly, "I’ve been using the Three Pure Daoist Skill quite a bit lately! It’s nearly equal to the total amount I’ve used before, my poor finger!"
Opening the door to his room, Zhang Xiaohao walked out with a straight face.
"Mr. Zhang, how did it go? Do you know who did it?" Upon seeing Zhang Xiaohao come out, Wu Qiaoqiao’s face was filled with urgency as she asked nervously.
"I don’t know yet, but I will very soon," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Ah! Mr. Zhang, you’re not lying to me, are you?" Wu Qiaoqiao asked in disbelief.
Zhang Xiaohao, annoyed, smacked her on the bottom and said, "How dare you doubt me, you deserve a slap! When have I ever blown smoke? Call up Secretary Lin and the others. I’ll take you to catch the traitor!"
"Is everything you said true, Mr. Zhang? Then I’ll go get them now!" Wu Qiaoqiao said.
"Go! Be quick and come back fast, I’ll be waiting here for you. Don’t be late." Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Okay," Wu Qiaoqiao replied and ran swiftly towards the office.
Zhang Xiaohao glanced at the golden bell in his hand and sneered inwardly. Whoever you are, as long as you are a person from the company and were in that room last night, you would have come into contact with the tracking array I laid down inside the room.
As long as they were still in the company and came within a hundred meters of the golden bell, the array marked on their body would trigger the one on the bell, and then the bell would ring on its own accord.
The closer the distance, the louder the sound the golden bell would make.
Scuffle scuffle scuffle...
A series of hurried footsteps suddenly echoed from the Public Relations department.
Zhang Xiaohao turned around and immediately froze, thinking to himself, what’s going on?
He saw more than fifty young and beautiful women from the Public Relations department standing neatly in two long lines, led by none other than Wu Qiaoqiao and Lin Xiaowen.
Dressed in black professional miniskirt uniforms, with black silk high heels, important areas like busts and bottoms were perfectly outlined by the figure-hugging clothes.
"So beautiful! Totally stunning! The visual impact is absolutely explosive! No wonder so many men are head over heels to become the manager of the PR department—such great benefits indeed!" Zhang Xiaohao thought to himself, feeling quite heated.
"Director Wu, what is this all about?" Zhang Xiaohao asked sternly.
"Well, Mr. Zhang, as soon as I’d mentioned your grand deeds, everyone wanted to follow Mr. Zhang and witness your brilliant methods of catching thieves firsthand, to learn something from Mr. Zhang. And we thought of writing a book about the imminent event, printing it out, and placing it in the most conspicuous spot in our PR department. Let everyone deeply understand its spirit during their free time," Wu Qiaoqiao said, buttering him up without any trace.
"Cough! Cough! This doesn’t seem quite right," Zhang Xiaohao coughed and said, though his heart was actually against it; he truly didn’t want to make such a big fuss.
"Mr. Zhang, there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s all entirely voluntary. Please don’t refuse our heartfelt gesture!" Wu Qiaoqiao insisted urgently. Googlᴇ search 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱
"Sigh! Since that’s the case, I will reluctantly agree!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Yay! Thank you, Mr. Zhang, long live Mr. Zhang!" Upon hearing Zhang Xiaohao’s words, the group of beautiful women from the PR department exclaimed excitedly.
"Alright, quiet down now, I am going to take you to catch the traitor!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
Having said that, he took the lead and walked forward.
Starting on the tenth floor, Zhang Xiaohao held a golden bell in his hand and began searching below.
Soon, Zhang Xiaohao and his group had already made it to the ground floor.
From a distance, the head of the security team, Qian Fan, saw Zhang Xiaohao and a group of people from the public relations department. His heart panicked, his face changed, and he subconsciously started walking towards the side.
Right at that moment, the golden bell in Zhang Xiaohao’s hand suddenly rang out.
"Hmph! Thinking of running? It’s already too late," Zhang Xiaohao let out a cold laugh.
He held the golden bell and strode meteorically towards Qian Fan, the head of the security team.
"Stop right there!" Seeing the other person turn to go upstairs, Zhang Xiaohao shouted coldly.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang! Do you need me for something? Just give the order, and even if it’s to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, I won’t bat an eyelid," Qian Fan said obsequiously, nodding and bowing.
Zhang Xiaohao glanced at him playfully, and then looked at the golden bell in his hand, which kept ringing out thud after thud.
"Was last night’s operation successful?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Mr. Zhang, I don’t understand what you mean? Last night? I was in the dorm all the time!" Qian Fan pretended to be puzzled as he said this, his heart pounding with fear. Had someone sold me out?
"I’m giving you one last chance. Spit out the process of sneaking into my room last night on your own, or else, once I make my move, you’re going to die a very ugly death," Zhang Xiaohao said indifferently.
"Mr. Zhang, I really don’t know what you’re talking about. Could you please not make things hard for me? I know I inadvertently offended you when you first came, but there’s no need for you to deliberately make things difficult for me, right? If you really can’t stand me, I’ll resign!" Qian Fan said.
"It seems you won’t shed a tear without seeing the coffin," Zhang Xiaohao scoffed disdainfully.
A glint of green light flashed in his eyes as he activated the Enchanting Spell from the Three Pure Daoist Skill.
Seeing the other party under his control, Zhang Xiaohao asked, "Tell me, who did you sneak into my room with last night?"
"Last night I sneaked into your room with Mr. Yang," Qian Fan said in a dull and rigid manner, like a walking corpse.
"Mr. Yang? What’s his full name?" Zhang Xiaohao asked again.
"Mr. Yang’s name is Yang Zhonghu, the former deputy manager of the security department."
"Who sent you to steal the medicinal materials from my room, and with what purpose?" Zhang Xiaohao asked with a stern face.
"I don’t know. After work yesterday, Yang Zhonghu found me and asked me to help him sabotage the medicinal materials in your room. After the mission was completed, he promised me a hundred thousand in cash, so I agreed! Using my position, I replaced the on-duty security with my own people and then snuck in," Qian Fan stated mechanically.
Zhang Xiaohao frowned slightly and gave him an indifferent look.
Anyone caught by the Enchanting Spell had all their actions under his control, and unless he actively dispelled the spell, those ensnared by it couldn’t tell lies.
It seemed that to get to the bottom of this, he would still need to find that Yang fellow.
"Mr. Zhang! This scumbag is too detestable, what shall we do with him?" Wu Qiaoqiao said angrily.
"Him? He’s just a pawn in someone else’s game, just expel him," Zhang Xiaohao said offhandedly.
Expel him? People under the Enchanting Spell, if not released by him actively, would continue to be dazed, like an idiot or a simpleton.
Since the other party dared to mess with his woman’s company, they should be ready to face retaliation from Zhang Xiaohao. He would spend the rest of his life as a fool!
