As Wang Chao spoke, his gaze turned icy. Within the day and night, he had already noticed the peculiarity of that wall. He wished he could personally go over and investigate the suspicious wall. However, he had to keep a constant watch on Bernard to prevent any harm to Shen Bing. So, he relied on Zhang Long to conduct the investigation.
"Don't worry; I will find a way to investigate it thoroughly," Zhang Long said firmly.
"Alright, you investigate that, and I'll keep an eye on Bernard. If he shows any movement, I'll react immediately," Wang Chao replied.
"Make sure to stay safe as well."
"You be careful too, and if anything happens, remember to contact me. I'll help you out."
"Got it."
Wang Chao hung up the phone, finished his hamburger, and continued to observe Bernard. As long as he kept an eye on Bernard, he believed he could save Shen Bing.
From a different perspective, since Bernard appeared so normal, it meant that Shen Bing was not in immediate danger. This was a stroke of luck amidst the unfortunate situation.
"Are you just pretending for my sake? Well then, let's see how long you can keep up the act," Wang Chao said under his breath.
He continued to watch Bernard closely and felt that this man was incredibly enigmatic. To remain unscathed under his "Soul Capture" and maintain such a normal life, it showed that Bernard possessed formidable mental strength.
Perhaps when he was under the influence of the "Soul Capture," Bernard was merely pretending to be hypnotized rather than actually being hypnotized.
"Judging from his appearance, his strength is at most around three-star Battle God level, but his mental strength is so powerful that even I can not affect him. It suggests that he's hiding his true abilities, and his so-called three-star Battle God cultivation might just be an intentional disguise!"
Wang Chao's gaze on Bernard turned cold.
At the same time, he felt a surge of excitement.
After all these years, this was the first time he encountered an adversary with such an unpredictable nature. He felt a sense of meeting a worthy opponent.
This dangerous feeling was something he hadn't experienced in a long time.
It would be great to have a good fight with an evenly matched opponent. It would keep his body from getting rusty.
"Bernard, are you aware that I'm watching you?" Wang Chao smiled.
Bernard was a clever person who knew what to do and what not to do. He would only behave normally if he knew he was being watched.
Just as Wang Chao had this thought, Bernard seemed to sense his intentions. He opened the window and looked in Wang Chao's direction.
Their gazes met in midair.
Wang Chao shivered as if he were being stared at by a bloodthirsty beast lurking in the darkness. He felt a chill running down his spine, and his body was covered in goosebumps.
Danger!
A strong sense of danger engulfed him, making his heart race.
"This guy can keep Shen Bing under his control; no wonder he's extraordinary," Wang Chao uttered calmly.
For an ordinary person, such a feeling of danger might induce fear. However, for someone like Wang Chao, a super expert, this sense of danger was thrilling.
As a mercenary, he lived every day on the edge of life and death, so such a dangerous feeling was normal for him.
Bernard also seemed to realize Wang Chao's gaze. With a faint smile, he closed the window and returned to his business.
"He's provoking me, huh?"
"Alright, if that's the case, then I'll have a good chat with you."
Wang Chao's face revealed a cold smirk as he stepped out of the car, cigarette in hand. He walked straight towards Bernard's castle with a stern and icy gaze.
Thump, thump, thump!!
Arriving at the castle's entrance, Wang Chao knocked on the door.
Creeaak!
The castle's massive door swung open on its own after he knocked.
With a cigarette dangling from his mouth and an emotionless expression, Wang Chao walked inside and headed straight for Bernard's room.
Upon his arrival, Bernard had already prepared tea and smiled at Wang Chao, "Mr. Wang, you finally came."
"I've brewed tea and have been waiting for you. Please, have a seat."
With that, he gestured for Wang Chao to sit on the sofa.
Wang Chao took a seat as indicated by Bernard, picked up the cup of tea, sniffed it, and smiled, "Not bad, this is some great tea."
"I never expected the Vice President to be so passionate about Dragon Kingdom's culture. The way you brewed this tea is truly impressive."
"If it's good, you should taste it properly," Bernard replied.
"If I'm not mistaken, you offered the same tea to Bingbing when she came to see you, right?" Wang Chao said.
"Mr. Wang, it seems I'm having trouble understanding what you are talking about," Bernard replied with a seemingly innocent smile.
"Do you desire me to point it out?" Wang Chao sneered and continued, "I smell the scent of aphrodisiac in this tea. Moreover, the dosage is significant, enough to put an elephant to sleep."
"I'm quite puzzled about how you managed to take Bingbing out after drugging her."
Bernard's expression darkened after hearing Wang Chao's words, "I still do not understand what you are talking about."
"You do not understand? Fine, let me explain it to you. There's a secret passage behind the wall in your office, and that's how Bingbing was taken away, right?" Wang Chao stared coldly at Bernard.
"Go on," Bernard replied with a grim expression.
Wang Chao remained composed, put down the teacup, and said, "The material used to build that wall is neither metal nor stone. Its hardness surpasses all the black technologies in the world."
"Therefore, it's an entirely new material."
"About fifty years ago, a meteorite landed in this area, and there were news reports about a crater, but no one found the meteorite, which means it was taken away secretly."
"So, the material you used for the office's wall is the meteorite that fell back then!"
"And if I'm not mistaken, there's probably a secret passageway outside that meteorite door, maybe even an elevator that leads straight to the underground."
"That's how you took Bingbing away."
"Mr. Bernard, am I right?"
Bernard's expression grew even darker as he replied, "Continue."
"You did not deny it, which means I'm right."
Wang Chao's face remained expressionless as he enunciated each word, "Furthermore, I'm sure you know what we are doing, do not you?"
"Our people are currently prying open the wall in your office."
"As soon as the time comes, the wall will be opened, and your secrets will be exposed."
