Chapter 69: Failure

On the 3rd floor of the office building, inside the office room, Ye Jin’s bodyguards had finished their search.

Walking up to Ye Jin, the captain of the bodyguards reported, "Young Master, we found nothing here except for a few documents."

He handed the documents to Ye Jin, then waited.

Taking the documents from the captain, Ye Jin flipped through them and read their contents. A few minutes passed before he threw the documents to the ground in a bad mood.

Noticing the change in his expression, Liu Ruyan thought for a second, then asked, "Elder Brother Jin, what’s written in those documents?"

Ye Jin waved his hand dismissively as he said, "Just some trashy project reports."

He paused for a second, then turned to Liu Ruyan. "Yan Yan, do you remember it wrong? There is nothing here besides trash."

Liu Ruyan’s brows creased slightly as she asked inwardly, ’System, did you give me the wrong information?’

At her question, the blue cat appeared in front of her and confidently replied, "Host, this System will never give you wrong information. You should search more carefully, oh~."

Leaving those words behind, the blue cat disappeared again.

Seeing that Liu Ruyan didn’t answer his question, Ye Jin gently pinched her cheek and unhappily said, "Yan Yan, you dare to ignore me now?"

Grabbing his hand, Liu Ruyan pouted her lips. Staring at Ye Jin with accusation in her eyes, she coquettishly said, "Elder Brother Jin, you are hurting me."

Facing her coquettish act and soft voice, Ye Jin’s annoyance was reduced by half. He let go of Liu Ruyan’s cheek and asked, "Yan Yan, are you sure that the treasure you are looking for is here?"

Liu Ruyan nodded. "Mhm. I’m very sure I didn’t remember it wrong."

Seeing how confident she was, Ye Jin thought for a moment and ordered, "Break the wall."

Before the bodyguards could respond, the blue cat suddenly appeared and said, "Host, breaking the building will trigger the self-destruction procedure of the secret room. Not only will you fail to complete the mission, but you will also die in the explosion. Please think twice."

When Liu Ruyan heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

Grabbing Ye Jin’s arm, she panicked and said, "Elder Brother Jin, you can’t do that!"

Surprised by her panicked shout, Ye Jin raised his hand to stop his bodyguards.

Turning to look at her, he noticed her pale face. At this sight, he suddenly felt his heart ache.

Pulling Liu Ruyan into his embrace, Ye Jin gently patted her back and whispered, "Alright, alright. We won’t break the wall. Shh~ It’s fine now."

While he gently coaxed her, Liu Ruyan secretly let out a sigh of relief.

After calming down, she looked at Ye Jin and explained, "Elder Brother Jin, my father told me that there is a self-destruction system attached to the treasure."

"If we accidentally break the container, we will trigger the self-destruction procedure. Not only will we fail to find the treasure, but we might also die in the explosion."

Now that she had said this, Ye Jin lost his courage to break the wall and forcefully find the treasure.

Ruffling his hair in frustration, he asked, "Then what should we do now?"

Liu Ruyan was disconnected from her System at this moment, so she couldn’t ask her System to help her find the treasure or use the tracking function.

Left with nothing to use, she shook her head and dejectedly replied, "... I don’t know."

Ye Jin didn’t want to disappoint his girlfriend, but it was useless for them to waste their time here.

Glancing at the watch on his left wrist, he finally said, "Let’s leave for now and return to retrieve the treasure after we find more clues."

Feeling Ye Jin’s annoyance, Liu Ruyan didn’t dare to anger him at this moment and nodded in agreement.

"Mhm, I will listen to Elder Brother Jin."

Ye Jin smiled when he saw how obedient she was. Leaning down, he kissed her on the lips and said, "Good girl."

With that, Ye Jin led the team and left the office.

After they left, Lan Zuancheng asked, "Younger Sister Liu, should we follow them again?"

Liu Yun shook her head and said, "No. Let’s go in and check the office room."

"Alright."

Before coming out of their hiding place, the three of them checked their surroundings. Seeing nobody around, Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng came out of their hiding place and went to the office room.

Behind them, Liu Yun quickly pulled out her wooden stick from her Dimensional Space, then used it to stab the heads of the zombies scattered along the hallway.

Using her fastest speed, she quickly stirred the zombies’ brains. When she found nothing, she continued to the next zombie corpse.

After stabbing all the zombies’ corpses in the head, she managed to find five more Level 0 Zombie Crystal Cores. Combined with those she found downstairs, Liu Yun obtained a total of forty-two Level 0 Zombie Crystal Cores today.

Putting the crystal cores into her inventory, she hurriedly followed Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng into the office room.

On her way, Liu Yun couldn’t help but think, ’Today’s luck is really amazing. I actually found 42 crystal cores from less than 400 zombie heads. This must be because I increased my Luck Points yesterday.’

Grinning happily, she secretly made a decision.

’I must invest more status points in my Luck Points from now on!’

While Liu Yun was in a good mood, Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng were busy searching the office room.

Seeing her coming, Gu Zhenwei asked, "Younger Sister Liu, where were you? Why are you only coming now?"

Coughing lightly to hide her grin, Liu Yun replied, "I went to check if they had really left before coming in."

"Oh." Gu Zhenwei accepted her answer, then turned to flip through the scattered documents on the floor and muttered, "These are just ordinary reports. Nothing special."

Scanning the messy office room, Liu Yun realized that Ye Jin and his team had only checked the walls, floor, and cabinets.

Looking up, Liu Yun suddenly asked, "Elder Brothers, should we check the ceiling?"
