CHAPTER 400: CHAPTER 400: TROUBLE COMES KNOCKING

Xia Zhun held Song Juan in his arms, gently comforting her, "It’s okay, don’t be afraid."

Just killed a person, as long as that person is insignificant, he can make them disappear completely.

As Xia Zhun spoke, his fingers moved slightly again, and with his movement, Xia Yun’s body vanished into thin air.

Everything in the restaurant also seemed to be controlled by a magical hand, time began to reverse, except for Xia Yun, everyone and everything returned to how they were ten minutes ago.

It’s like everyone was pressed the pause button and then restarted.

After the restart, everyone’s face showed a trace of confusion. In their subconscious, they felt that something should have happened just now, but none of them remembered what it was.

Watching Xia Zhun erase everyone’s memory in a blink of an eye and rewind time, Xia Mian couldn’t help but let out a long breath.

Fortunately, Xia Zhun was no ordinary person, possessing the ability to clean up the aftermath.

Even if he really killed Xia Yun, he could handle it.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Xia Mian got up with Lu Zechuan.

After they passed through the restaurant and returned to their room, Xia Mian got up to wash.

In front of the bathroom mirror, Xia Mian wiped her face, staring at the face in the mirror, vaguely feeling as if she had forgotten something.

At the same time, in the hotel’s surveillance room, a staff member monitoring the cameras was staring in shock at everything that had just happened in the hotel lobby.

Just a while ago, it seemed like a murder had transpired in the lobby, but strangely, that surveillance footage had mysteriously disappeared.

The hotel monitor personnel’s eyes widened, nervously swallowing saliva.

Everyone has a curiosity about the bizarre, and so did he. Before the video disappeared, he had seen a white light seemingly flash over the fingers of that middle-aged man in the video!

The hotel surveillance personnel shuddered at the thought, and since he was always interested in unusual phenomena, he had joined some strange curiosity groups.

So, when Xia Yun’s body vanished out of thin air in the video, he took out his phone and started recording the surveillance.

But the result was that the surveillance footage was full of static, video monitoring time rewound, and everyone suffered amnesia, as if the murder event had never occurred!

And he clearly remembered the time when the murder happened, but now, the time had rewound by a full ten minutes!

As he posted this unbelievable experience on various forums, his hands were trembling!

In this lifetime, he actually encountered something non-human!

Xia Zhun, Xia Mian, and the others thought that this matter had ended, but they didn’t know someone was behind the scenes, processing and describing this bizarre video and posting it on all kinds of peculiar forums.

When Xia Zhun and Song Juan woke up the next day, planning to set off on their journey, someone came to their door.

They were uniformed officials.

Xia Zhun was stunned for a moment, turning to look at Song Juan.

Yesterday’s matter was handled quite perfectly, wasn’t it?

How did it still bring trouble to their door?

"There’s a homicide case here suspected to be connected to you, please come with us to cooperate with the investigation." The person showed his credentials, wanting to take Xia Zhun away.

The door next to Xia Zhun’s room opened, and Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan came out.

Song Juan looked over, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Xia Zhun wasn’t from this world, and since coming here, she hadn’t even arranged a legitimate identity for him yet.

If he was taken away for investigation, Xia Zhun was bound to be entangled in trouble.

"Suspected?" Xia Mian spoke up, "Homicide? Where’s the evidence? Where’s the victim?"

As Xia Mian spoke, she was already standing in front of Xia Zhun, "It’s not good to make baseless claims without evidence."

Although Xia Mian didn’t know where the issue lay, she was clear in her heart that she couldn’t let Xia Zhun get entangled in trouble.

Once Xia Zhun clashed with these ordinary people, those ordinary people might be the ones to suffer, but Xia Zhun’s identity would not be able to remain hidden.

"Evidence?" The person furrowed his brows, "We were informed that the hotel’s logistics personnel had a conflict with you yesterday, and now that logistics staff has disappeared."

"Who said that?" Xia Mian showed no sign of backing down at all, "Everything should be based on evidence. Without evidence, I’m afraid we can’t assist in your work."

Perhaps Xia Mian’s imposing demeanor was too strong, the person furrowed his brows tighter and involuntarily retreated a step.

At this time, Lu Zechuan spoke softly, "Things based on hearsay cannot be taken seriously!"

When Lu Zechuan spoke, it immediately caught the attention of the visitor.

Lu Zechuan had always been low-key, rarely appearing in public events. There were few who knew his identity, but his demeanor was evident to any discerning person that he was not ordinary.

"The hotel manager also reported the disappearance case, and we’ve checked the surveillance footage within ten miles of the hotel. The missing person did not leave the hotel." The person spoke earnestly, "Moreover, during the time frame when the hotel’s logistics personnel had a conflict with you, the hotel’s surveillance malfunctioned."

Hearing this, Xia Mian’s mind suddenly lit up, finally realizing what she had neglected the previous day!

Surveillance!

The hotel’s surveillance!

Such a large-scale hotel would have surveillance cameras in almost every public area. Xia Zhun killed Xia Yun and rewound time, everything seemed perfect.

But Xia Zhun forgot that in this world, there are surveillance records; everything and everyone can be recorded by surveillance footage!

Anything that can be electronically recorded has loopholes.

Now, Xia Zhun had bumped into such a loophole.

Though Xia Mian understood where the problem lay, she didn’t show any sign of fear on her face, instead she said, "Surveillance? What can surveillance prove? Moreover, it’s a faulty surveillance."

Xia Mian chuckled lightly, "With the current technological advancements, it’s not a difficult task to alter or even synthesize a video."

The visitor was quite perplexed by Xia Mian’s words.

What did Xia Mian mean by this?

"We are busy and don’t have much time to waste here." Lu Zechuan’s voice had a trace of displeasure.

"If you have any issues, I can have people negotiate with you." While speaking, Lu Zechuan handed a business card to the other person.

The visitor initially seemed dismissive of Lu Zechuan’s attitude, but upon glancing at the business card in Lu Zechuan’s hand, his pupils noticeably shrank.

CEO of the Lu Group—Lu Zechuan!

These three words were like thunder in their ears!

The Lu Group’s development to its current state owed much to this young CEO.

At a young age, he had taken on the burden of the Lu Group, carving a path through the siege of numerous corporate giants, elevating the Lu Family to Beijing’s number one noble family!
