Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Although he only knew a general direction, Xu Ke was still very confident.

He couldn’t believe it. It’s just the 25th floor. If he searches room by room, isn’t it just a matter of time?

Moreover, he has plenty of time now and can afford to spend it.

But when Xu Ke arrived at the old site of the company, he was dumbfounded.

He had indeed been here before with his mother, but that time they only went to the fifth floor.

This time, he’s going to the 25th floor, and the key is that there are no longer any people inside the company, so the elevator has long stopped operating.

To get to the 25th floor, he would have to climb step by step.

Although the 25 floors are a piece of cake for Xu Ke, for someone who hasn’t exercised in a long time, it’s still quite a challenge.

For the sake of that document, Xu Ke had to grit his teeth and climb step by step.

Even though the company abandoned this building many years ago, they still regularly send cleaners to take care of it.

So even though there hasn’t been anyone here for many years, the environment inside is still very well maintained.

Moreover, there are still security guards downstairs, so it looks no different than when people were here.

Xu Ke always wondered why the company hadn’t sold off this building after so many years of disuse. Why keep it?

But after recent events, he’s gradually realized that there seem to be many hidden secrets within this building.

However, he knows little about past affairs, and these secrets need to be uncovered bit by bit.

After exerting all his strength, after half an hour, Xu Ke finally managed to shakily climb to the 25th floor.

When he reached the 25th floor, he collapsed on the ground.

He really admired his grandfather’s line of thinking — why choose to put the office on the 25th floor?

And even so, they should at least keep the elevator running. Not doing so seems like his grandfather is making life hard for his grandchild.

However, he finally made it to the 25th floor. Next is to find out which office his grandfather used to be in.

After regaining some strength, Xu Ke began his search.

But he was too young; he completely underestimated the capability of Old Man Xu back then.

Although he knew that Old Man Xu’s office was on the 25th floor, the entire floor has several hundred offices.

Xu Ke still doesn’t understand why his grandfather wanted to set up so many offices back then.

Wasn’t it said that only he worked on this floor? Setting up so many offices, whom are they for?

The more Xu Ke thought about it, the angrier he got, feeling like he was being played by his grandfather.

But since he had already come here, he couldn’t just go back and debate with his grandfather.

It’s said when the ship reaches the bridge, it will straighten itself out, but Xu Ke felt the ship was about to reach the bridge, only to find it’s not a bridge but rather a big hole.

The only way now was to start searching room by room.

Xu Ke regretted not calling Murong Hai over, so he could have brought more people; at least more hands make for easier work.

Looking for each office like this, he was bound to keep searching until the end of time.

After searching two rooms, Xu Ke chose to give up.

Because the layout of these offices was almost identical; you couldn’t tell who was who.

Since he couldn’t manage alone, he could only seek help. So he picked up the phone and immediately called Murong Hai.

This suffering couldn’t be borne alone; he needed someone to accompany him.

At that moment, Murong Hai was on duty at the company. After receiving Xu Ke’s call, he immediately put down what he was doing.

"Ah Hai, I demand you and your brothers to arrive at the company’s old building on the 25th floor within five minutes."

Xu Ke didn’t say much to Murong Hai; he simply hung up the phone.

Murong Hai was utterly confused on the phone, not knowing what Xu Ke wanted.

However, given it was Xu Ke who called, he brought a few men to the company’s old building anyway.

Upon entering the building, they had the same reaction as Xu Ke.

The discomfort of not having an elevator immediately became apparent.

Though they were all trained, climbing stairs wasn’t an easy task.

And the key issue was Xu Ke demanding they get there within five minutes; was this a joke?

Even rushing up as fast they could, it took Murong Hai and his men at least ten minutes.

When they appeared exhausted in front of Xu Ke, Xu Ke felt delighted.

Having others suffer this pain with him was the best feeling.

Murong Hai rested for a while, regaining a bit of strength.

"Xu Ke, what on earth did you call us all the way here for? Why is there no elevator in this building, making us climb up to the 25th floor?"

"Ah Hai, being part of the security team, maintaining good physical condition is key. Activities like this should be held regularly. After all, your job is physically demanding, and everyday duty shouldn’t impact your training."

Xu Ke was spouting nonsense, the key being Murong Hai’s brothers believed it.

The few men listened to Xu Ke and were extremely excited; knowing the president reminded them himself was a big deal.

Unknown to Xu Ke, since today, those men went crazy and began climbing up and down every day.

Murong Hai could see through Xu Ke’s nonsense, but he couldn’t be bothered to argue.

"Alright then, now just tell us why you called us here this far?"

"Actually, there’s no big deal, just wanted you all to help me. I’m trying to find an office, but there are too many here, and I can’t manage alone, so I need your help. Later, split up to search, and if you find an office that’s different from the others, contact me immediately."

After all that talk, Xu Ke just wanted them to do hard work. Murong Hai was at his wit’s end.

But given this task came from the president, regardless of difficulty, they wouldn’t dare to complain.

They say, ’many hands make light work,’ but Xu Ke didn’t feel it after all this searching.

Five or six men searching for nearly an hour hadn’t even covered 1/10 of the offices.

But given they had reached this point, Xu Ke and the group could only continue searching sorrowfully.

Xu Ke suddenly felt he was looking for a needle in a haystack and regretted not seeing the dilemma coming.

As time went on, after two or three hours of hard work, they barely managed to search half of the offices.
