Lord of Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Chapter 1012  A New Round of Hints

Intis Group, Administrative Department.

Zhou Mingrui, wearing a black T-shirt, walked in and casually scanned the room before saying to Luo Shan, ”Itʼs really hot this year. School has started and thereʼs still no sign of cooling down.”

Luo Shan nodded repeatedly in agreement and praised the effectiveness of the companyʼs air conditioning.

Zhou Mingrui glanced to the side and back, asking, ”Luo Fu didnʼt come today?”

He had been planning to approach Luo Fu today to ask why she appeared in the underground area of Mushu Hospital last night. However, it was almost an hour into the workday and she still hadnʼt shown up.

Luo Shan looked around and said in a hushed voice, ”Luo Fu is going to resign.”

”Hasnʼt she been working for less than a month? Sheʼs resigning before even passing the probation period?” Zhou Mingrui was somewhat surprised, but then felt it was also normal.

For a mysterious person like Luo Fu, working at the company was definitely not for the salary, but for some other purpose. Once that purpose was achieved, or if she felt it couldnʼt be completed and she might be in danger, she would undoubtedly resign without hesitation.

”Yes, thereʼs something going on at home. Otherwise, who would give up such a good job?” Luo Shan spoke sincerely. ”Luo Fu has already submitted her letter and will come tomorrow to go through the procedures.”

Luo Fuʼs resignation made Luo Shan feel that she herself probably wouldnʼt be fired in the short term.

”Sheʼll come tomorrow?” Zhou Mingrui nodded thoughtfully.

He could foresee that Luo Fuʼs resignation wouldnʼt go smoothly. Someone who had just been hired leaving before completing even a month—wasnʼt that a slap in the face for the recruiters?

Moreover, it would affect the HR departmentʼs performance evaluation.

Zhou Mingrui then turned to Luo Shan and asked, ”How is Luo Fu doing now? Why did she go to Mushu Hospital last night?”

He spoke with a tone of concern for a colleague.

”Sheʼs doing fine now, just hasnʼt fully recovered emotionally.” Without receiving any ”instructions,” Luo Shan didnʼt dare reveal too much.

She directly skipped over the latter question.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingrui politely smiled and said, ”Slacking time is over, Iʼm going back to work.”

”Bye-bye.” Luo Shan waved habitually.

Zhou Mingrui turned and walked towards the exit of the Administrative Department.

Luo Fuʼs resignation made him more acutely aware of the undercurrents lurking beneath the surface.

This female colleague seemed to have joined the company specifically for him. She hadnʼt even fully familiarized herself with the Administrative Departmentʼs affairs, yet had already had two meals with him, made some hints, and mysteriously appeared in the underground area of Mushu Hospital when he was investigating it.

Did last nightʼs events cause Luo Fu to resign?

What exactly is hidden in the underground area of Mushu Hospital, and why did Luo Fu and Luo Shan go there?

What specifically did Luo Fu encounter?

Are mystical methods now being used in workplace competition?

Amidst his lampooning, Zhou Mingrui increasingly wanted to find Luo Fu and ask her face-to-face.

He felt that the things around him were getting stranger and stranger!

Luo Fu and Luo Shan too, they clearly showed goodwill and provided effective hints, so why donʼt they just tell me the truth about whatʼs going on?

Weʼre all people with supernatural powers, what canʼt be said?

We could be completely open and honest about everything, and discuss things together. Even if I wouldnʼt believe everything, I certainly wouldnʼt ignore it completely. Iʼd remember the key points and verify them one by one in subsequent developments.

If they donʼt explain anything clearly, how am I supposed to help them?

Are we filming a TV drama here, where one misunderstanding can be dragged out for twenty episodes?

Is there a reason they only hint at things instead of speaking directly?

Is some force preventing them from telling the truth about whatʼs happening?

Are there others monitoring me?

Zhou Mingrui unconsciously raised his head and looked around, but didnʼt notice anything unusual.

Does the monitoring power come from a supernatural level? Can it even listen in on my private conversations with Luo Fu and Luo Shan?
