Chapter 180

Ben sat alone in the office for a while. He sensed that this wasn’t sufficient.

He began to reflect on the friends who were close to Susan.

Maybe any of them know her whereabouts?

Even if it was just a slim chance, he was determined to try.

Consequently, a few minutes later, Ben arrived at the Programming Department.

“Mr. Landor?” Luke appeared somewhat flustered. “The latest project is proving to be quite challenging.

As for the progress….

“That’s not it,” Ben impatiently interrupted. He scanned the Programming Department and inquired, “Who does Susan typically converse with the most?”

Luke was taken aback. After a long time, he cautiously asked, “Mr. Landor, may I ask why you’re asking about this?”

Rumors were circulating that Ben and Susan had had a falling out.

It had been a few days since Susan last came to work.

Could it be that Mr. Landor was still angry and wanted to vent his anger on them?

“Just say it!” Ben said coldly.

Luke was about to say something.

Ben looked at him expressionlessly. “You’d better tell me the truth.”

Luke suddenly felt stressed.

He clenched his teeth and briefly listed a few names.

Lately, Susan had been most involved with the Al project group.

She was also quite popular within the Programming Department, where everyone enjoyed each other’s company.

As a result, Ben’s simple question had scared everyone in Programming Department.

Ben commandeered the conference room, leaving a group of programmers bewildered and stunned at their desks.

What had Mr. and Mrs. Landor gotten themselves into? The situation was escalating to the point where even they were under scrutiny.

Could it be that Mrs. Landor had sided with her rival in the Storm Group and betrayed the company’s core secrets?

Did Mr. Landor suspect the existence of spies among their ranks?

In the minds of all those present, a real spectacle had already kicked off.

Amidst the tense atmosphere, Ben grabbed a pen and some paper.

People grew even more anxious.

As expected, it was clear that a significant questioning session was about to take place.

Finally, Ben spoke slowly.

His first question was, “Did Mrs. Landor mention where she wanted to go?”

Everyone in the room fell silent.

The programmers awaiting interrogation were bewildered.

What the hell?

Weren’t they supposed to be questioned about betraying company secrets?

No one spoke.

Ben suddenly looked disappointed. “She never mentioned anything? Take your time to think. There’s a reward if you remember.”

Mr. Landor didn’t seem inclined to accuse them.

Jaron said tentatively, “Susan mentioned wanting to go skiing in Everdale.”

Ben’s eyes lit up.

This was a significant piece of information.

He immediately wrote it down and then ordered the secretary next to him, “Give this guy a raise.”

“Alright.” The secretary swiftly recorded it.

A few seconds later, Ben glanced at Jaron again. “You look familiar, have we met before?”

Jaron felt a shiver down his spine. “I… I once confessed my love to Susan.”

Ben gave him a stern look.

Susan had told Jaron about her plans to ski in Everdale, but she hadn’t told him.

Ben remembered Jaron’s face distinctly.”

Jaron was speechless.

He suddenly felt a little flustered.

Ben let him go for the time being and looked at the others. “Any more?”

Jaron was not punished. Instead, he got a salary raise.

The crowd began to realize that things weren’t as they had assumed.

Things might not be what they had imagined.

anto Therefore, everyone began to rack their brains.

“Susan mentioned wanting to visit the lavender fields in Feloria.”

“Susan talked about wanting to see the sea on Mysthaven Island.”

The casual words she had mentioned resurfaced in everyone’s memories.

Ben nodded repeatedly and kept recording.

“Susan said that she wanted to take a spaceship to travel in outer space, someone said.

Ben was about to write it done.

The secretary, who was the only one who knew why Ben asked his question, was so scared that his face turned pale.

“Oh my god, could it be that Mr. Landor is really traveling around the universe to look for Mrs. Landor?”

the secretary thought nervously.

He swiftly reassured her, “It’s probably just a passing comment. Madam’s not actually going.”

Ben thought for a moment and concurred with the secretary before putting down his pen.

The secretary heaved a long sigh of relief.

When Ben could no longer obtain further information from the Programming Department, he stood up.

He said calmly, “That’s all for today. Go back and think about it. If you think of anything new, come to the CEO office at any time and report to me.”

After that, Ben left the Programming Department.

Subsequently, he pondered other individuals who could be acquainted with Susan.

The Millers weren’t of interest to him.

Timothy?

The gigolo boy approached eagerly, but Susan hadn’t been seeking him out.

On the other hand, there was one last possibility.

Ben gazed at his secretary without any emotion. “Give me Rose’s phone number.”

“Rose?” His secretary was stunned and quickly said, “I’ll arrange it right away.”

After a while, he reported that he could only find Rose’s agent’s number.

The agent explained that he needed to check with Rose before sharing her phone number.

Ben sneered, “If she doesn’t give it to me, I’ll cause trouble for her.”

The secretary was lost for a word.

“Mr. Landor, do you know that you’re a tyrant now? The worst one…” he thought.

The secretary tactfully attempted to persuade him, saying, “Mr. Landor, Rose is a close friend of Madam’s.”

Ben frowned and then stated coldly, “Then we’ll sort out her work when Susan returns.”

The secretary was speechless.

He also wanted Susan to come back as soon as possible.

If Susan didn’t come back soon, Ben would probably go crazy.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong, and Ben successfully got Rose’s phone number.

The secretary breathed a sigh of relief.

Ben gave the secretary a cold look as he made the call. “Why are you still here? Get back to work.”

The secretary was lost for a word.

This was a tough situation for him.

He left with a bitter expression and proceeded to arrange the unusual search notice.

At the backstage of the T–stage After the show, Theresa, who was resting, looked at her phone thoughtfully.

Ben wanted her number?

Originally, she had a rule never to give her best friend’s husband’s contact information.

But now, she had thrown that principle away just like that All of this was because of this bastard.

She really wanted to scold Ben, so she simply gave him her contact information.

A few minutes later, her phone rang Theresa picked up and mockingly asked, ‘Mr. Landor? What’s the matter? Are you inviting me to your wedding? You and your wife are childhood sweethearts, now you reunited. I was in tears when I saw your story.”

Ben had no expression on his face as he coldly said, “Are you moved to tears? That means that you’re dumb.”

Theresa struggled for words What a bastard!
