"Heart, why did you come here so late?" A low, magnetic male voice came from behind.

Freya slowly turned her head and saw Bradley appearing there. She was somewhat surprised and asked, "How did you get here?"

Bradley had already taken off his mask and gently embraced her shoulder, saying, "Just got word that a sniper was lurking around here, so I came to check."

"Where is that person?"

"He got away!" Bradley's eyes darkened, then he picked her up and headed downstairs, saying, "But I have already sent someone to arrest him. I believe we will have news soon."

Meanwhile, the four Xavier brothers each led a group of people to search for the sniper's whereabouts.

The surroundings of the Imperial Garden Villa were heavily guarded, so even if the sniper had three heads and six arms, he wouldn't be able to escape from there.

"Big brother, we have searched the positions to the east, but didn't find any suspicious individuals."

"Big brother, we have also searched all the positions to the west, no ying found."

"Big brother, nothing in the south either."

As each of his brothers reported, the shock in South's eyes grew stronger.

He was responsible for the northern area and found no ying, which seemed impossible.

"Where haven't we searched yet?" South asked his three brothers.

"The main building, and the medical room!"

"Search!"

South commanded.

The young master had said, the sniper must not be allowed to escape.

If they can't find anyone, he can't explain!

"Big brother, there's no need for the main building anymore. Young Master just took Young Madam back. No matter how bold the sniper is, he wouldn't dare run towards the main building. After all, the main building is covered with infrared monitoring systems. As soon as the sniper gets close, he will definitely be discovered first." Xavier said.

Xavier agreed, nodded, "Xavier, you go report to the Young Master, Xavier you continue searching the outskirts, I will lead the team to search the medical room."

"Yes!"

The four brothers split up and took action.

...

In the medical room.

A dark shadow flashed in quickly.

Xavier was not there, Ella went back to inherit Spirit Pavilion, the entire medical room had hardly anyone apart from some assistant doctors and nurses.

Furthermore, at this point, Everything was resting and no ying noticed anyone breaking in. The sniper carefully entered the office, looked around, and only went in after making sure there was no ying. He quickly wiped off the blood on his body and changed into a white coat. Just as he finished, footsteps could be heard from outside. They were coming! The sniper narrowed his eyes and quickly lay down on the bed in the rest area, covering himself with a blanket. "Search carefully, do not miss any ward, including the emergency room and office." Because of the commotion, Everything was awakened. South carefully surveyed the crowd and said coldly, "Did anyone see a suspicious person break in?" Everything shook their heads.

South furrowed his brows and asked, "Besides you all, who else is here?"

A female nurse said, "Before we went to sleep, Dr. White was still in the office, but I'm not sure if he is still there now."

"Alright, I understand. All of you stay here and don't wander around. I suspect that an assassin has intruded here!" Upon hearing the word "assassin," Everything's faces changed.

South instructed two people to stay and protect the group of nurses, while he led the rest to search room by room.

However, after searching the entire medical room thoroughly, they found no suspicious signs at all.

Finally, South stopped in front of Simon's office and asked, "Whose office is this?"

A faint smell of blood was wafting from inside, and South, being a well-trained expert, was highly sensitive to such odors.

"Dr. White's office," someone replied.

South squinted at the response, then raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Dr. White?"

There was no sound coming from inside, but the light seeping through the crack in the door indicated that there was someone inside. However, despite this, no ying opened the door, which was quite puzzling.

South knocked on the door again, and finally footsteps could be heard from inside, followed by the door being opened from within.

Simon appeared at the door, looking as though he had just woken up, rubbing his eyes.

"Who are you?" he asked.

South respectfully said, "There has been an intruder at the Imperial View Villa. We are here to capture them by order of the young master. Do you happen to have seen any suspicious individuals, Dr. White?"

Yawning, with messy hair and glasses hanging casually, Simon shook his head. "No, I've been sleeping here the whole time and haven't heard any unusual noises."

Despite his constant yawning, South carefully scanned the surroundings and didn't notice any suspicious signs. But when his gaze fell on Simon, he distinctly caught the smells of disinfectant and blood.

"He had just wanted to ask when he saw Simon raise his other hand, and at that moment, South clearly saw the scar in his palm.

"Doctor White, are you injured?"

At the words, Simon glanced at his injury, smiled lightly, "It's nothing, I wasn't feeling too good today, got cut by a knife accidentally during the experiment. I probably put pressure on the wound while sleeping just now, it seems to have reopened..."

"In that case, Doctor White, please bandage it up quickly. These hands are used to save lives and cannot afford any mistakes!"

While speaking, South stared at his wound for a long time before speaking again, "For safety's sake, we still need to search this office, to prevent any assassins from hiding in any corner and endangering Doctor White's life."

Simon shrugged, cooperatively saying, "Feel free."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Doctor White!"

South nodded, directing his subordinates to search the office thoroughly, not leaving any corner unchecked.

But after searching high and low, aside from some bloodied cotton in the trash can, they didn't find anything suspicious.

"How is it? Any issues?"

Simon's concerned inquiry.

South frowned deeply and said, "No problem, there are no assassins here bothering Doctor White."

It was not surprising to find blood-stained cotton in the trash can given Doctor White's injured hand, but South still had a precautionary measure in place and had some cotton taken away.

After all, if a sniper were to appear again and get injured, just by comparing the blood, it would be possible to determine if it was the same person.

As South left, a cold, sinister light flashed in Simon's eyes.

He had nearly been exposed just now!

If he hadn't been ruthless enough to cut his palm, it would have been difficult to deceive them!

He had not expected this incident to alarm Bradley; it might make future actions less smooth.

Simon clenched his fists, his eyes filled with a hatred that could destroy the heavens and the earth.

To even alarm the hidden master, Mystica... what other secrets does she have that he doesn't know about?
