Chapter 626 Eerie Sounds
As Wang Chao and Bernard locked eyes in a cold stare, Bernard suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "Mr. Wang, you do love to joke. Your fabricated stories are getting more and more interesting."
"I want to emphasize one thing: I haven't done anything to Shen Bing."
"If you want to investigate, go ahead."
"But, as someone who knows the ropes, let me advise you. Tampering with things in my office here in White Eagle Country is against the law."
"If you dare touch my belongings, you might end up getting arrested."
"Also, I'll remind you again, this is White Eagle Country, not your Dragon Kingdom. My family behind me won't tolerate any reckless behavior from you."
He smiled faintly as he sipped his tea, exuding an air of confidence.
In White Eagle Country, with him and the forces backing him up, even an Eastern dragon would have to bow down.
Wang Chao stared at him in silence.
At that moment, Wang Chao's phone rang, and he answered the call. It was Zhang Long's voice on the other end, "Wang Chao, we have a problem."
"What's wrong?"
"The local laws don't allow us to take action. The police are stopping us, and they even threatened to arrest us if we continue with the construction."
Hearing Zhang Long's words, Wang Chao's face darkened.
No wonder Bernard was so confident; he had someone backing him up.
In that case, things wouldn't be easy. They couldn't find any evidence of Bernard's crimes.
Wang Chao's expression turned grim, "Alright, I understand. Zhang Long, don't take any rash actions."
"I'll take care of things from now on."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Chao put his phone away and said, "President Bernard, I have nowhere else to go right now. Can you accommodate me here?"
"If Mr. Wang does not worry that we'll poison his food, then feel free to stay," Bernard replied nonchalantly.
"Don't worry; I'll eat my own food," Wang Chao said.
"Good. I'll inform the housekeeper to prepare a guest room for you. Stay for as long as you like," Bernard said.
He looked at Wang Chao and added, "However, let's be clear about one thing: Western medicine will always be superior to Chinese medicine."
Wang Chao smiled and replied, "Let's put aside the comparison between Chinese and Western medicine for now. We can discuss it later. Right now, I just want to learn from being by your side."
"You're welcome anytime," Bernard said with a smile.
Both of them exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
Bernard remained composed and immediately called the housekeeper to prepare the guest room. Soon, the housekeeper called back, saying the room was ready.
Bernard looked at Wang Chao and said, "Mr. Wang, the room is ready. Would you like to take a look?"
"Thank you," Wang Chao uttered with a smile.
"Shall we go in then?"
"Thank you."
Facing Bernard's invitation, Wang Chao didn't hesitate and treated the castle as his own home, naturally settling in.
Wang Chao had the urge to confront Bernard directly and force him to confess, but he knew that Bernard was deeply hidden, and he could not fully see through him.
Any unsuccessful attempt to confront him might alert Bernard, leading to disastrous consequences.
Therefore, he decided to remain calm and keep a close eye on Bernard, preventing him from taking any actions against Shen Bing.
Wang Chao believed that Shen Bing, with her abilities, would find a way to escape once Bernard was occupied.
Having settled into the castle, Wang Chao comfortably lay on the bed, appreciating the quality of the foreign mattress.
He took a shower, boiled some water, and sipped his tea while keeping his eyes fixed on Bernard.
Bernard seemed normal, going about his routine without any signs of weakness or anomalies that could be exploited.
Wang Chao was not in a hurry. If Bernard wanted to play the waiting game, he was willing to play along. Besides, Shen Bing was safe as long as Bernard did not make any moves.
Resting on the bed, Wang Chao maintained a vigilant watch over Bernard. He opened his senses to their fullest and closed his eyes for a while to rest.
In the late hours of the night, Wang Chao suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Bernard's room intently.
Just a moment ago, he heard some peculiar sounds. It was like the rustling of leaves in the wind, as if someone was walking barefoot on a soft sandy beach, and also like extremely faint electromagnetic waves.
Very light! Very small!
Not even an ordinary person could detect such sounds, let alone record them using any audio equipment.
However, Wang Chao was no ordinary person. His senses were over a hundred times sharper than an average person's, allowing him to hear the sound.
Most importantly, the sound seemed to be coming from Bernard's body.
Yet, in Wang Chao's line of sight, Bernard was still sound asleep, doing nothing unusual. The very faint rustling sound disappeared as soon as Wang Chao focused his gaze on Bernard, as if it had never existed.
"What's going on? How can a human body produce such sounds?" Wang Chao furrowed his brow.
He had been out in the world for many years, and it was the first time he encountered something so peculiar and heard such eerie sounds. Furthermore, it did not seem to be the sound of any unclean entity.
However, before Wang Chao could ponder further, his expression suddenly changed. A strong sense of danger washed over him, making his scalp tingle.
Kill intent!
Without hesitation, Wang Chao shot up like a spring and quickly left the room.
Boom!
At the moment Wang Chao rushed out, an RPG missile struck his room, engulfing it in flames. The explosion's shockwave surged in all directions like a tsunami.
Wang Chao was also swept up in the terrifying shockwave, hurtling five meters away and colliding with a wall, causing his back to ache with fiery pain.
The power of this explosion was too strong, just such a room was bombarded, and the entire castle was already shaking violently.
Wang Chao strongly endured the pain, and stood up at the first time, looking towards the house that was burned by the flames with a gloomy gaze.
At this moment, the room he had just slept in was already ablaze with flames, engulfing everything.
It could be imagined that if Wang Chao was still there just now, he might have been directly blown up.
