Chapter 618 Soul Capture
As they spoke, Wang Chao's face became extremely cold.
He had been in the martial arts world for so long, but this was the first time he had been deceived like this.
Most importantly, Bernard's acting skills were just too good, so good that he couldn't see any flaws.
If it weren't for the surveillance footage, he might still be clueless.
"She's still in Bernard's office?" Liu Yifei's expression changed.
"That's right. Have you seen Bernard leave his office during this time?" Wang Chao asked.
"No, we haven't."
"You didn't see him come out, and the surveillance footage also shows that he didn't leave. Plus, as you mentioned earlier, he said he had a meeting to attend, so why didn't he go?"
"This means one thing: he was busy doing something else in the office, right, Brother Wang?" Liu Yifei quickly grasped the situation.
"Exactly. We need to hurry and search his house before Bernard returns!" Wang Chao said in a low voice.
Soon, they arrived at the elevator.
They walked out of the elevator and headed straight for Bernard's office.
The office door was tightly closed, equipped with an intelligent password lock.
"Eh!" Liu Yifei furrowed her eyebrows.
An electronic lock!
They didn't know the password, so how were they going to open it?
Bang!
Before Liu Yifei could think of a way to open the door, Wang Chao had already used brute force, punching the door hard and breaking it into pieces.
In an instant, the alarm went off.
But Wang Chao paid no attention to the alarm, stepping inside.
Liu Yifei was stunned, watching the scene unfold before her.
This method was too straightforward and rough, wasn't Wang Chao afraid of Bernard calling the police and arresting him?
"Quick, search everywhere someone might hide!" Wang Chao said in a deep voice.
After saying that, he immediately activated his "Divine Vision" to search for clues.
After scanning the scene, he didn't find anything unusual except for one wall that his "Divine Vision" couldn't penetrate.
"Hmm?"
Wang Chao frowned slightly.
This was the first time he encountered this situation. Even his "Divine Vision" couldn't see through this particular wall, which was simply unbelievable.
He walked up to the wall and carefully observed it, even trying to touch and feel it.
The wall was cold to the touch, and the material was extremely unique—neither gold, silver, nor iron. It was truly mysterious.
When he attempted to remove a piece, he couldn't even budge it with twenty percent of his strength.
"This material is extraordinary." Wang Chao thought to himself.
Just as he was preparing to use more force to try, a group of armed guards appeared at the door, glaring at Wang Chao and Liu Yifei.
One of the guards, the team captain, scolded them in English with an unfriendly look, "Hands up, who are you? What are you doing here?"
As he spoke, he raised his gun and pointed it at Wang Chao.
The other guards quickly followed suit, aiming their guns at Wang Chao and Liu Yifei.
As guards in this place, they were all quite formidable individuals, most of them veterans from the battlefield with extensive experience in combat. Their cold, icy gaze and imposing aura were intimidating.
Liu Yifei had never encountered such a situation before and quickly raised her hands, explaining in English, "Don't shoot, we're not bad people."
"How do you prove that?" The team captain of the guards asked coldly.
He saw Wang Chao about to remove the gun and his gaze grew even colder. He reprimanded, "This gentleman, please stop immediately, or I will shoot!"
After speaking, he directly disengaged the safety of his pistol.
Wang Chao frowned, stopped his actions, and turned to stare at the team captain. "I'm here to find someone."
"Do you think breaking in like this is how you find someone?" The team captain clearly did not believe him.
He had seen the extent of damage to the door and was secretly shocked. The material of the door was incredibly sturdy, and it would not be easy to break it with an ordinary hammer. Yet, it was shattered with a single punch, indicating the tremendous destructive power of the person who did it. The one who threw the punch must be Wang Chao.
Therefore, after they arrived, he had been closely monitoring Wang Chao and had his gun aimed at him. Otherwise, he was afraid that he might get punched accidentally.
It was not an exaggeration to say that if he were hit by one of Wang Chao's punches, it would not be a joke!
"Is breaking in the only way to find someone?" Wang Chao uttered casually.
The team captain, Liu Yifei, and all the guards were at a loss.
Find someone, and breaking in?
What kind of logic was that?
"Captain Mike, there's no need to be so tense. They're all my clients, here to find me."
Just at that moment, Bernard walked out of the elevator and came before Captain Mike, saying calmly, "All of you, put down your guns."
Captain Mike breathed a sigh of reprieve and holstered his gun.
The other guards also put away their handguns.
"Director, then I'll leave first," Mike asked.
Bernard waved his hand.
Mike and his team quickly left and disappeared from sight.
After they left, Bernard walked in and saw Wang Chao standing in front of the wall. He smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Wang, Miss Liu, if you have something to discuss with me, you can just call me directly. Why did you have to break in?"
"Just now, if I hadn't returned in time, they might have opened fire."
"Director, it's just a misunderstanding," Liu Yifei uttered with a smile, looking at Wang Chao, gesturing for him to say something to dispel Bernard's doubts.
However, Wang Chao did not explain anything. He coldly stared at Bernard, remaining silent.
His gaze was sharp as a knife, ice-cold.
"What's going on?" Bernard met Wang Chao's eyes, frowning.
He had already instructed George to take Wang Chao to the police station, and he should have been detained for at least forty-eight hours. Yet, he was out so quickly, which surprised Bernard.
"Tell me, what did you do to Bingbing? Where did you hide her?" Wang Chao stared at Bernard and asked straightforwardly.
Hum!
As he spoke, a strange light emanated from his eyes.
Soul Control!
This was a powerful hypnotic technique, crudely and directly subduing an opponent's mind and manipulating them.
Under Wang Chao's "Soul Control," Bernard's eyes began to appear unfocused.
He seemed to lose himself, as if he had fallen into a peculiar state. His expression became vacant, and his eyes lost their luster. He said, "I did not hide Miss Shen. After discussing the new drug, she left."
After uttering these words, his face turned pale, seemingly unable to withstand the powerful hypnotic effect. He closed his eyes and fell unconscious on the ground.
"Director..."
Liu Yifei looked worried and called out to Bernard several times but could not wake him. She then turned to Wang Chao and asked, "Brother Wang, what did you do to him?"
Wang Chao kept staring at Bernard, his gaze cold and his face dark as water.
Under his "Soul Control," Bernard did not lie!
But clearly, Shen Bing did not leave this room. What had happened?
With these thoughts in mind, he looked at the wall again.
His intuition told him that the wall was far from ordinary!
