Wei Xiaoyu smiled slightly, and before the other party could react, she executed a swift, sideways throw. The movement was so fast that no one could see it clearly before she had already sent the bodyguard flying over her head and slamming him to the ground three or four meters behind her. With a "thud," he landed on the ground, unable to move for a long time.
This skill left Tuluk, Yixin, and Ladi speechless and dumbfounded.
The three of them didn't understand martial arts, so they naturally didn't know the key techniques of this move, such as speed, ruthlessness, and accuracy. However, the other bodyguard understood the difficulty of this move. Of course, many people could do it, but the key was that the opponent was a skilled fighter of similar ability to him. To take down someone who was also a skilled martial artist in one move, even with surprise or some underestimation, was not something that could be easily accomplished.
Volume 1, Chapter 484: The Vanishing Bullet
Everyone was stunned. Zhou Xuan was also somewhat surprised. Although he sensed that Wei Xiaoyu's aura was strong, he hadn't expected it to be this strong.
This is of course the reason why Zhou Xuan lost his memory. If it were before, he would certainly know that Wei Xiaoyu was very skilled.
"Good, good, good, beautiful!" Tuluk was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands with a big smile. These two bodyguards were among the strongest under his command, but they couldn't even fight back against such a beautiful girl. He had originally given Wei Xiaoyu a million-dollar annual salary to reassure Zhou Xuan, but now it seemed that the million dollars was well worth it.
With just that one move, the other bodyguard knew that Wei Xiaoyu's skills far surpassed theirs. It was truly unexpected that such a seemingly delicate and even frail-looking Eastern beauty could possess such formidable fighting abilities.
Of course, Zhou Xuan's impact on them was even stronger. Just look at the deep fist mark on the wall; this move alone made them feel inferior.
If someone possessed skills like Wei Xiaoyu, perhaps someone would still step forward to test her abilities. But after Zhou Xuan's punch, these two bodyguards didn't dare utter a sound. This was beyond their comprehension. In their minds, that mysterious country in the East seemed increasingly unfathomable.
In his excitement, Tuluk waved to Ladi and said, "Ladi, hurry up and get the car ready. We're going to my Prince's Mansion for a banquet. I want to entertain my friends."
Seeing Tuluk's delighted expression, Zhou Xuan thought for a moment and then said, "Miss Yi, could you please tell Mr. Tuluk that I would like to speak with him alone?"
Tuluk immediately waved his hand, ordering two bodyguards to go upstairs and wait. Ladi also went out to prepare the vehicle. In the basement, there were only four people: him, Yi Xin, Zhou Xuan, and Wei Xiaoyu. Although Zhou Xuan said he wanted to talk alone, Yi Xin still couldn't leave. If she left, Zhou Xuan and Tuluk wouldn't be able to talk.
Wei Xiaoyu also stayed by his side. Zhou Xuan's request for a private talk was actually just a way to get Tuluk to send his men away.
Tuluk looked at Yi Xin and then said, "Yi, from now on you don't need to worry about anything. Just stay with Mr. Wang and Miss Li. Wherever they go, you go. Also, your salary will be doubled."
Yi Xin was overjoyed. She was already quite satisfied with her salary, but now, because of Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu, her boss suddenly gave her a raise, and the increase was 200%, which doubled her salary. How could she not be happy?
"Thank you, Your Highness," Yi Xin said, beaming from ear to ear. Then, she politely thanked Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, thank you, Miss Li."
Not only did her salary double, but her workload also decreased dramatically. She used to have a lot of work to do, but now she doesn't have to do any of that. She just works as a full-time translator for Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu. Where else can you find such an easy job with such a high salary?
Tuluk gave Yi Xin a raise not because Yi Xin did a good job, but because he needed Yi Xin to act as a translator and a bridge of communication between him and Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu. Zhou Xuan just said that he didn't want more people to know, so he had to recruit Yi Xin better. There are plenty of candidates for translation work, but who can guarantee the quality of a newly recruited person? Yi Xin has been with him for three years, he knows her well, and she is reliable and trustworthy.
“Mr. Wang, please speak freely, we’re all on the same side,” Tuluk said with a chuckle. Yi Xin translated his words, using the phrase “on the same side,” which Zhou Xuan found somewhat amusing. It felt a bit awkward for a foreigner to speak in a Chinese accent.
"Mr. Tuluk, what I want to talk to you about isn't work-related, but rather our own affairs. Since we're working for you now, we should be frank with each other, so you won't feel uneasy."
Zhou Xuan thought for a moment and decided to say what Wei Xiaoyu had suggested. He was just avoiding his enemies and opponents, not some international wanted criminal or anything like that. There was no need for him to hide. As long as he explained it to Tuluk, Tuluk would feel at ease, and he would feel at ease too. If Tuluk didn't tell him, he would definitely send someone to investigate him in secret, which would be pointless.
“My name is not actually Wang Feng. My surname is Zhou and my given name is Zhou Xuan. My wife’s name is not Li Li either. She is Wei Xiaoyu, the niece of Mr. Wei Haihong, a good friend of His Highness the Prince. We are only hiding in Morocco for personal reasons and are not involved in any crimes. Explaining our reasons to His Highness the Prince and asking him to keep it a secret is the best way to handle this.”
Tuluk was secretly delighted. He had already investigated the deep relationship between the two of them and Wei Haihong, and knew that they weren't fugitives. That's why he readily agreed to Wei Haihong's demands; otherwise, he would have considered imposing harsher conditions. Now that Zhou Xuan himself had explained it to him, it further proved that the two of them were legitimate. Their exceptional skills being used by him was a coincidence, and also a stroke of luck.
Zhou Xuan did a good job this time. Revealing his background to Tuluk actually made him happier and more reassured. Tuluk immediately said, "No problem, no problem. Make yourself at home here. Just tell me what you need. Whether I tell you or not, it's the same. With me, whether you use your real name or a pseudonym, you're all my friends." Tuluk said with a smile, then quickly introduced Radi, "Radi is my personal assistant."
Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu already knew this week. Ladi himself had introduced it on the plane. However, Tuluk's words seemed a bit incoherent, but it was clear that he was genuinely happy.
Zhou Xuan nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Tuluk, how about this, you send two people to drive me to that hill opposite the villa. I want to check there and see if there are any clues."
Zhou Xuan found this very strange, because the bullets fired by the assassin had energy, just like his superpower. It was just strange that the energy could still exist in another object after leaving the host.
Moreover, after the bullet pierced the bulletproof glass window, one bodyguard was shot and killed. Eight more shots were fired, and all eight bullets hit the wall. However, when Zhou Xuan probed the area, he discovered that those bullets had vanished.
They vanished without a trace, as if they had vaporized. Zhou Xuan hadn't noticed them because he was in a hurry and a bit nervous at the time. But now that he remembered them, he immediately used his special ability to detect them, only to find that the bullets had disappeared. He had no idea why, and he couldn't detect any bullets in the wound in the deceased's chest cavity either.
Zhou Xuan's expression turned serious. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Mr. Tuluk, given your position, you must be very familiar with research institutions in your country, right? Could you have them examine the victim who was just shot? It's quite strange that the bullets fired by the sniper disappeared automatically within minutes."
Tuluk was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Is that so?" He then invited Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu to go up with him. When they arrived in the hall, his men had already wrapped up the deceased and put him in the car. The bloodstains on the floor of the hall had been wiped clean, but there were still eight bullet holes on the wall opposite the glass window.
The walls are made of thick cement and steel, making it difficult for bullets to penetrate, unless they are armor-piercing rounds. However, armor-piercing rounds cannot be made as small as rifle bullets. Therefore, no matter what type of bullet it is, it is impossible for any bullet to penetrate the cement and steel walls.
The bullet holes in the wall are clearly visible; they are dark and appear to be several tens of centimeters deep. Were these bullet holes made?
Although Turuk didn't know much about firearms, he had seen bullets hit walls countless times, but he had never seen a pistol or rifle bullet penetrate so deeply into a reinforced concrete wall.
Upon hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Tuluk realized what was happening and immediately ordered several of his men: "Find tools immediately to dig open the bullet holes in the wall and find the bullets."
Although Zhou Xuan said the bullets had disappeared, Tuluk still gave the order to his men. This was the authority of a prince. With one command, his subordinates could only do the work and would not ask why. Not finding the bullets was another matter.
Zhou Xuan carefully probed the hole again for any remaining debris, but the result was the same: there wasn't even a tiny bit of dust, let alone a bullet.
In China, the first person Zhou Xuan encountered with superpowers was Ma Shu. Besides mind reading, Ma Shu didn't have any other superpowers, so he wasn't particularly special. Although Zhou Xuan later acquired Ma Shu's superpowers, Ma Shu was at least not the same person with superpowers as Zhou Xuan before he gained his own. Even after seeing a UFO at the bottom of the skylight, Zhou Xuan never encountered anyone with real superpowers again.
It was pretty much the same in the United States. He had never met anyone with superpowers, which gave Zhou Xuan the illusion that he was the only person on Earth with superpowers.
However, due to amnesia, Zhou Xuan had no memories of these things, but this feeling still puzzled him. The assassin who appeared—because of the bullet he fired—at the moment the bullet entered the room, Zhou Xuan detected energy on it. Although the bullet had disappeared without a trace, the impression remained in his mind. That energy was different from his own, but clearly completely different from the aura of others. This was a kind of supernatural ability.
There are other people in this world who possess the same superpowers as him. Although he doesn't know the extent or nature of their abilities, Zhou Xuan still feels somewhat uneasy.
Because of his amnesia, Zhou Xuan lacked experience and his calm and composed personality. Everyone is afraid of the unknown, and Zhou Xuan was no exception. He worried about whether he could handle the situation and whether Xiao Yu would be hurt. No matter what, he couldn't let Xiao Yu get hurt.
The bullets are gone, and the only clues left are to look for them on the hill opposite. Others might think that the killer wouldn't leave any traces, but Zhou Xuan is different. Based on his sense of his superpower, Zhou Xuan is confident that even if nothing was left behind, as long as someone was there, Zhou Xuan's superpower can detect some images.
However, if that person truly possesses supernatural abilities, Zhou Xuan isn't certain he can detect them, as he has previous experience with this; he couldn't detect any objects or energy entities outside of Earth.
Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment, then said solemnly to Tuluk, "Mr. Tuluk, I think we should go to the hill opposite first and see if we can find any clues about the assassin. Send two people with me."
Tuluk nodded, but without Zhou Xuan by his side, he was a little afraid to go out. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright, I'll send two people with you, and then I'll go back to the basement to wait for you to come back before we go back to the Prince's Mansion together."
Zhou Xuan didn't say much, but Wei Xiaoyu took his arm and wanted to follow him.
Because a translator was needed, Yi Xin had to go along. Although she was scared, the lure of the high reward and her trust in Zhou Xuan made her muster up the courage to go.
The two people arranged by Tuluk drove a bulletproof van with six seats. One bodyguard drove and the other sat next to him, while Zhou Xuan, Wei Xiaoyu, and Yi Xin sat in the back. They drove along the small road on the lawn.
