Chapter 40: Chapter 040 Lin’s Father Goes Missing Chapter 40: Chapter 040 Lin’s Father Goes Missing When there was nobody else in the dormitory, Horace poured himself a glass of ice water and downed it in one gulp, but the anger in his heart still hadn’t subsided.
“I heard you got married, didn’t you? Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping with a soft and fragrant woman at night…”
“Horace,” Fu Xing interrupted with a warning tone.
“Alright, alright, I’ll stop,” Horace conceded.
“All your bonus for this month is deducted.”
“What?” Horace jumped up, enraged, “You can’t be that heartless, can you?”
“Military discipline will be publicly notified if…”
“Stop, stop, just deduct the bonus, alright! What do you want in the middle of the night? Spit it out; I still need to sleep.” His good times had been interrupted, and he had also offended a beautiful woman he had just met, which could affect his reputation.
“Go to NGC4479 and bring me Lin Qingfeng in secret.”
“Damn it, you’re really making a move against your father-in-law,” Horace said in a tone that suggested he had expected this.
Seeing that the Commander’s face looked unpleasant, Horace quickly got serious and asked, “Hasn’t it already been investigated?”
The review investigation of Lin Qingfeng had been under his personal responsibility, and nothing suspicious had been found.
Known as the Spiritual Fox, Horace had a huge reputation in the intelligence community. Admiral Frank of the Royal Guard was dead set on bringing Horace over to his side.
“You were deceived by Lin Qingfeng.”
“How is that possible? How could he deceive my eyes?” Horace said incredulously.
“Isn’t it terrifying that he managed to deceive you?”
Fu Xing’s cold voice was like a cold breeze that soothed Horace’s mood, making him quickly calm down and sink into deep thought, his face gradually becoming very unpleasant.
As the intelligence chief for Major General Fu Xing, Horace was the most knowledgeable about the Purple Wish Token and Lin Fu’s situation. When the Purple Wish Token first appeared, it was he and a staff member, who was a servant of the Imoles House, who investigated it together.
After the investigation was concluded, he even left a contact on NGC4479 to keep an eye on Lin Qingfeng.
Horace immediately reached out to his contact, only to find out that Lin Qingfeng had disappeared.
“Damn it, Commander, you were right, Lin Qingfeng really is problematic.”
However, Fu Xing did not show as much shock as Horace; he had already expected this outcome, “First confirm whether he left voluntarily or if someone is controlling him, then find him.”
This time, Horace was not flippant.
The next day, at the gate of Albert Officer Academy, Lina, holding Lin Fu’s student ID, went to get a pass and, after swapping her vehicle for the public transport inside the academy, headed towards the dormitory area.
There was no choice; the school was too big. Without riding, walking wouldn’t show any effort.
Non-academy vehicles were not allowed inside.
Upon arriving at Dormitory 2277, Lina pulled down all seven heavy boxes and placed them at the doorstep, “Lady, this is as far as I go; I won’t enter. For the next three months, you can’t leave, and we can’t come to see you either. Please take care of yourself.”
According to the rules, students were not allowed to bring outsiders into the dormitories.
That’s also why Fu Xing came to look for her yesterday but only called out from outside.
“Just call me Miss Lin Fu outside.”
Lina obediently corrected herself and hesitated before saying, “Miss Lin Fu, there’s something I want to tell you.”
Lin Fu didn’t go inside, sitting casually on the steps at the entrance of the villa, “Sit down to talk; no need to stand.”
Lina sat down respectfully beside Lin Fu, then said, “I received news that Miss Ding Xuan died last night.”
Lin Fu exclaimed in disbelief, looking at Lina, “Are you sure?”
“Positive. Last night, on the way escorting Miss Ding Xuan, she tried to escape, to avoid being sent away. This gave someone the opportunity, and she died on the spot. If she hadn’t tried to escape, she might not have had an accident because the Major General’s people would have safely sent her to the fortress.”
“Who killed Ding Xuan?” Lin Fu asked, pale-faced.
“Lady… you… you’re not suspecting the Major General, are you?”
