Reborn a day later, I emptied my enemy's possessions beforehand.

"What exactly happened last night? Explain yourself clearly, word for word!"

Sun Guiying stood in the center of the warehouse, suddenly turned around and looked at the security guards who had followed her in, her voice shrill and unlike her own: "Who was on duty last night?"

Old Liu squeezed his way up from the back of the crowd, his face pale: "Mrs. Zhou, it's my shift."

"What exactly happened last night? Explain yourself clearly, word for word!"

Old Liu swallowed hard, his voice trembling.

"Last night around 10 p.m., Mr. Zhou drove here alone."

When he arrived, he said that everyone on duty tonight should go home and rest, and their wages would be paid as usual.

We thought he was being considerate of us, so we all left.

Before I left, I made a point of checking the factory area again and making sure the gates were locked.

When Lao Ma came to take over the shift this morning, he found the factory completely empty.

"Did President Zhou tell you to leave?"

Wang Jinshan chimed in from behind, his swollen face revealing no expression, but his eyes kept darting around.

"Yes, President Zhou said it himself." Old Liu nodded repeatedly.

Sun Guiying took a deep breath, her swollen cheeks aching from the airflow. She hissed, covered her face with her hand, and then put it down.

She looked at Wang Jinshan, and Wang Jinshan looked at her in return.

Both of their eyes reflected the same name—Zhou Haibing.

A security guard asked cautiously:

"Mrs. Zhou, Mr. Zhou...didn't he come with you? I can't get through to him on the phone, it's switched off."

Sun Guiying's voice was muffled, as if she were speaking through clenched teeth, each word squeezed out from between them:

"I'm looking for him too."

Wang Jinshan stood to the side, hands on his hips, his swollen lips moving, his voice muffled:

"Isn't it obvious? Zhou Haibing did it. Last night he came to the pharmaceutical factory and asked the security guards to have the day off so it would be easier to move things."

He moved the pharmaceutical factory and then moved my house—no, did he move my house first or yours first? Never mind—it was all his doing anyway.

Besides him, who else has the key? Who can make the security guard leave obediently?

Sun Guiying turned to look at him, her brows furrowed into a knot, which pulled at the swollen wound on her face, causing her to wince in pain.

"But why would he do that? I already have the company shares; he only has one percent left."

What good does it do him to empty the pharmaceutical factory and the villa like this? Has he gone mad?

Wang Jinshan was stumped by the question.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but didn't know what to say.

Zhao Shuzhen muttered something under her breath:

"Did he discover something... did he find out about your affair...?"

Wang Jinshan suddenly turned his head and glared at her, and Zhao Shuzhen immediately shut her mouth.

Sun Guiying did not respond to that question.

She was silent for a few seconds, then lowered her voice, emphasizing each word: "What do we do now?"

Wang Jinshan thought for a moment and said, "Call the police. We have no choice but to call the police now."

Zhao Shuzhen nodded immediately, her voice shrill, as if she had grasped at the last straw:

"Yes, call the police! This is a serious matter, the police definitely have to handle it! The pharmaceutical factory has been emptied out; this isn't something petty thieves could do!"

Sun Guiying stood there for a moment and then nodded.

She looked around at the security guards, pointed to Old Ma who was closest to her, and said, "You, call the police."

Old Ma quickly took out his phone from his pocket, dialed three numbers, and put it to his ear.

"Hello, I want to report a crime... Yes, the First Pharmaceutical Factory of Haibing Pharmaceutical Company, located in the North City Industrial Zone, has been robbed..."

It wasn't just one or two things that were stolen; the entire pharmaceutical factory was emptied out... Yes, the entire factory, everything's gone... Okay, okay, I'll wait here."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Ma looked up at Sun Guiying: "The police said they'll be there soon."

Less than twenty minutes later, two police cars sped into the industrial area, their red and blue lights flashing in the sunlight, dazzling the eyes.

Three or four policemen got out of the car. The one in the lead was a middle-aged man in his forties with a square face, thick eyebrows, and a serious expression. Behind him were two young policemen and a technician in plainclothes.

A square-faced policeman walked into the factory area, glanced at the empty factory, and frowned.

He revealed his identity to Sun Guiying—

Fang is the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Chengbei Branch.

Sun Guiying introduced herself. Captain Fang glanced at her, then at Wang Jinshan and Zhao Shuzhen. All three of them had faces that were swollen beyond recognition, but his professionalism prevented him from asking any further questions.

Captain Fang led the technicians into the workshop.

The technician took several photos of the empty workshop with his camera. The flash went off several times in the empty factory, and each photo showed only the bare floor and walls.

Captain Fang squatted down to look at the equipment base marks on the ground, then stood up to look at the pipes and cable joints hanging from the ceiling. He didn't say a word, but his face grew increasingly grim.

After leaving the workshop, he went to the warehouse, raw material storage, and office building.

After walking around the circle, his expression changed from serious to solemn.

He stood on the cement road in the factory area, took out his notebook, and looked at Sun Guiying:

"Ms. Sun, please describe the situation in detail. When were they discovered? When was the last time you saw these devices?"

Sun Guiying said, "The security guard discovered it this morning when he came to work."

"The last normal delivery was yesterday during the day, and then last night..." She paused.

"My husband, Zhou Haibing, came to the pharmaceutical factory last night and sent all the security guards on the night shift home."

Captain Fang paused, pen in hand. "Zhou Haibing? The legal representative of Haibing Pharmaceutical Company?"

"right."

Where is he now?

"I don't know." Sun Guiying's voice carried a complex and difficult-to-decipher emotion.

"I'm also looking for him, but his phone is off and I can't reach him."

Not only the pharmaceutical factory, but also my house. My house was emptied out; everything in the villa was gone.

Captain Fang looked up at her: "Your house was emptied out too?"

Wang Jinshan couldn't help but interject, his voice urgent and muffled:

"And my house too! My villa was completely ransacked. All the furniture, appliances, jewelry, safes—everything's gone! It's like a typhoon hit; not even a bowl is left!"

Zhao Shuzhen nodded vigorously beside her, her eyes reddening again, her hand trembling as she gripped the tissue.

Captain Fang scribbled something rapidly in his notebook, then looked up, his gaze sweeping over the three men. His voice was neither loud nor soft, but every word carried weight:

"Do you have any suspects?"

Sun Guiying and Wang Jinshan said almost in unison: "Zhou Haibing."

Captain Fang didn't immediately respond, but asked again, "What evidence do you have?"

Sun Guiying's voice was high-pitched and fast:

"All the pharmaceutical company's surveillance footage has been taken away, what evidence do we have left?...
