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.
