This little thing gets so embarrassed taking a bath; if Qing Yi saw it, he would surely go crazy.
Maybe it’s time to consider putting some clothes on it?
"Uh, Third Young Master, what are you... doing?" Qing Yi looked at Jun Moyan, who was standing in front of the washbasin.
Jun Moyan quickly washed Wen Xiao’ai clean, grabbed a clean towel to wrap it up in, and then carried it out of the bathroom.
Only then did Qing Yi remember the urgent matter at hand and quickly said with a serious tone, "Third Young Master, Ais has run away."
Jun Moyan furrowed his brow, stopped in his tracks, and looked at Qing Yi, "Run away? How did he escape?"
You might not believe it when I say this... Ais... disappeared into thin air." As Qing Yi said this, even he found it hard to believe.
But that was indeed the case. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveIＦire.net
Jun Moyan’s frown deepened, not quite understanding what he meant: "Disappeared into thin air?"
"Yes, just now. The surveillance camera flickered, and Ais was gone."
Surveillance... flickered?
The more Jun Moyan heard, the more it sounded like fantasy.
"It’s true. The lock on the detention room door was intact, the guard wasn’t knocked out; Ais didn’t escape but truly disappeared."
At this moment, Qing Yi truly didn’t know how to clearly explain to Jun Moyan, nor did he know how to express his own feelings, as it was just too strange.
Disappear into thin air? Isn’t Ais human? How could he just vanish?
Wen Xiao’ai wondered to herself.
Jun Moyan placed Wen Xiao’ai on the bedside table and gave it a milk bottle, "Be good and wait for me to come back."
Wen Xiao’ai, wrapped in the towel, reached out to take the milk bottle and held it in her arms. She actually wanted to follow and see for herself, but it seemed that Jun Moyan had no intention of taking her along.
Forget it, Qing Yi must be exaggerating the situation. Ais probably used some sneaky trick to escape.
"Let’s go have a look." Jun Moyan said and headed towards the door.
Qing Yi hurriedly followed.
The two arrived at the place where Ais was held.
Jun Moyan entered the gloomy detention room, which now only contained a chair and several circles of rope lying on the floor.
And Ais, who had been tied to that chair, was nowhere to be found.
Jun Moyan looked up instinctively towards the ceiling—the only small window in the detention room that led outside, slightly lowered his gaze, and then withdrew his attention to go to the surveillance room.
Qing Yi replayed the surveillance footage he had seen for Jun Moyan.
Having watched the surveillance, Jun Moyan finally understood what Qing Yi meant by "the surveillance camera flickered, and Ais disappeared."
Indeed, the surveillance camera had briefly malfunctioned, going dark for a moment. The timestamp indicated it was less than three seconds before it returned to normal, but by then, Ais was already gone.
The rope that had bound him was left behind, reminding them that Ais had indeed escaped.
He had just vanished without a trace.
Even the guard who had been watching the door had no idea what had happened at that moment.
Not even a sound was heard, yet the person was gone.
If it weren’t for the surveillance here, Jun Moyan would have never believed a person could truly disappear into thin air.
What can be done in less than three seconds?
This was simply too unbelievable.
All the surveillance footage from within Wu Garden was reviewed, but no trace of Ais was found.
And the people who went after Ais reported back that within a kilometer, they found no sign of Ais.
Even someone like Jun Moyan, who had faced all kinds of situations, felt a wave of shock over such a baffling and eerie incident.
The mysterious red-eyed crow, the rapidly healing wounds on his body, the disappearing act of Ais—all these inexplicable events were permeated with a strange and eerie atmosphere.
