Chapter 77 The Secret Recipe Stolen

"I almost didn't recognize my second senior sister in this outfit."

Qin Quan's gaze fell on Ling Yuyan, his eyes filled with amazement.

"Is it pretty?"

Ling Yuyan, clutching her skirt, twirled gently in front of Qin Quan. Her bright eyes and white teeth, her smile as beautiful as a flower, and the faint scent of perfume mixed with a delicate virgin fragrance wafted towards him, causing Qin Quan, a pure yang straight man, to momentarily lose his composure.

"Second Senior Sister is naturally beautiful. This outfit is both innocent and alluring. She is simply stunning."

Qin Quan subtly flattered Ling Yuyan, but it was a fact that his second senior sister was a beauty.

"Junior Brother speaks so much better!"

Ling Yuyan smiled sweetly, took Qin Quan's arm, and the two walked side by side into the gate of Qingcheng Group, leaving Gu Changming standing there dumbfounded, scratching his messy hair and muttering to himself.

"Where did Brother Quan find this beauty? Isn't he afraid the boss's wife will be jealous?"

Office on the 36th floor.

It was already in complete chaos.

Lin Wanrou was so busy that she was overwhelmed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Tomorrow is the day the Shy Flower Cream will be launched. Just now, when she was about to check the confidential documents, she was shocked to find that the safe had been stolen, the original formula of the Shy Flower Cream had disappeared without a trace, and even the three artificial spirit stones had vanished without a trace.

She and Ye Qiu had been searching and checking for a full ten minutes, but they hadn't found a single useful clue.

In an instant, her expression grew increasingly grave, becoming extremely grim.

"Mr. Lin, should we call the police?"

Ye Qiu was sweating profusely with anxiety. "Whether it's the secret formula for the Shy Flower Cream or the artificial spirit stone, they are too important to the company. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid..."

"No, don't call the police yet!"

Lin Wanrou abruptly interrupted her, her brows furrowed and her voice low.

"To be able to open a safe silently while the office doors and windows are intact is no ordinary feat. Either the company has an inside man, or the perpetrator's power is unfathomable. If the police are called and news of the stolen formula leaks, tomorrow's IPO plans will be completely ruined!"

It wasn't that she didn't want to call the police, but she was worried that calling the police would affect tomorrow's product launch.

She then took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"Go to the security room and call Captain Gu up. Have him investigate discreetly. Remember, don't alert anyone else!"

"good!"

Ye Qiu didn't dare to delay and turned to run out the door.

Clang!

The door was pushed open, and Ye Qiu bumped right into Qin Quan's arms.

Her pretty face immediately turned red with embarrassment, and she became so nervous that she stammered.

"Mr. Qin... I... I... President Lin is inside, I'll go downstairs and call Captain Gu!"

"Okay, go ahead."

Qin Quan's gaze swept over Ye Qiu's flustered expression, then fell on Lin Wanrou, who was busy in the office, and his heart sank.

Something must have happened.

He led Ling Yuyan into the office, where Lin Wanrou was looking down at clues without even looking up.

"Pour yourself some water, I'm a bit busy here..."

"What's wrong?"

Qin Quan asked softly. He originally wanted to introduce Ling Yuyan to Lin Wanrou, but seeing Lin Wanrou's worried face and helpless appearance, and recalling Ye Qiu's panic, he instantly realized that things were not simple.

Lin Wanrou didn't hide it; when she looked up, her eyes were full of anxiety.

"The secret formula for the Flower-Shy Cream, along with those three artificial spirit stones, have all been stolen!"

"What?!"

Qin Quan's pupils shrank sharply, his face turned ashen, and the air pressure around him suddenly dropped.

He brought Ling Yuyan here specifically to see those three spirit stones.

Now that the spirit stones have been stolen and the secret recipe is gone, anger surged into his heart instantly.

"When did this happen?"

"It must have been last night."

Lin Wanrou bit her lip, looking regretful.

"When I got to the office this morning, I didn't check the safe. I only discovered the spirit stones were stolen when I went to get the documents just now. Ye Qiu and I searched for a long time, but we couldn't find a single clue."

As she spoke, she suddenly noticed Ling Yuyan standing next to Qin Quan.

His expression immediately froze, and he subconsciously asked:

"she is?"

"My second senior sister, Ling Yuyan."

Qin Quan introduced with a smile.

"We just met today, so I brought her to see you."

Lin Wanrou immediately stood up, her face full of apology.

"I'm so sorry, I was so focused on finding clues that I neglected Miss Ling. Please forgive me."

"It's alright."

Ling Yuyan reached out and gently shook hands with Lin Wanrou. The moment her fingertips touched her, her eyebrows lifted slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Pure Yin energy?"

She withdrew her hand without making a sound, muttering to herself.

"He has a pure Yin constitution. No wonder Junior Brother wanted to work as a security guard at this company. So that's why."

Lin Wanrou greeted them warmly.

"Please have a seat, I'll go make some tea."

Ye Qiu went to find Gu Changming, and naturally she couldn't neglect Qin Quan's senior sister, so she had to take care of things herself.

"No need for that."

Ling Yuyan raised her hand to politely decline, her gaze falling on the scattered documents on the desk.

"Just now, I heard you say that the secret formula for the Shy Flower Ointment and the spirit stones were stolen?"

"right!"

Lin Wanrou nodded emphatically, her eyes filled with helplessness.

"Xiao Qiu and I spent a long time reviewing the situation, but we still had no clue. We were just about to ask Captain Gu for help with the investigation."

"If you don't mind, I can give it a try."

Ling Yuyan volunteered. As the head of the Fengyulou assassins, tracking and investigating cases were her specialties, so this little thing was no problem for her.

Lin Wanrou was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Qin Quan with her eyes full of questions.

She wasn't sure of her second senior sister's strength, and she dared not easily let outsiders interfere in such an important matter.

Qin Quan nodded without hesitation.

"Second Senior Sister is good at investigating cases. Let her give it a try; maybe she can find a clue."

In his view, Ling Yuyan, as the head of the assassins, would find solving a theft case a piece of cake.

"Then it'll be Miss Lao Ling's turn!"

Lin Wanrou breathed a sigh of relief and quickly moved aside.

With permission granted, Ling Yuyan instantly entered investigation mode, her aura suddenly becoming cold and sharp.

She quickly walked to the windowsill, her fingertips gently caressing every inch of it, and even leaned out, her gaze sweeping across the facade like a hawk's.

Then, he walked to the door, squatted down, and carefully examined the door lock and the patterns on the floor, not even missing the slightest footprint.

Finally, she stood before the safe, her brow furrowed, her fingertips gently tapping the lock cylinder, her gaze focused as if she were disassembling the most intricate mechanism.

After a moment, she looked up at Lin Wanrou and asked:

When was the office cleaned?

"Before nine o'clock."

Lin Wanrou quickly responded, "According to regulations, the cleaning staff should finish cleaning all the rooms before work, but my office has always been managed by Ye Qiu, so the cleaning staff can't get in at all."

A glint of light flashed in Ling Yuyan's eyes, and a barely perceptible smile curved her lips.

We have a clue.
