But soon, those people's gazes quickly shifted away.
As if they were avoiding something.
According to custom, Shen Wuxiao first led Jiang Huaiyue to pay respects to the deceased. After the family's acknowledgment, they would be free to move around.
Walking into the mansion, they soon saw a large mourning hall.
The top was bordered with yellow and white chrysanthemums.
In the center of the floor was a platform, on which lay a body covered with a white cloth, surrounded by flowers.
And on the wall in front was an oversized memorial portrait.
Luo Han's photo hung high, his face wearing a smile.
Shen Wuxiao and Jiang Huaiyue walked in, merely glancing at it, not bowing at all.
He didn't deserve it!
So they made a symbolic circuit, and the family expressed their thanks.
Shen Wuxiao said lightly, "My condolences!"
The other party didn't speak, merely nodding in acknowledgment to Shen Wuxiao!
After all, someone had told them Shen Wuxiao would come, but they could pretend not to know him.
So they naturally couldn't act conspicuously.
This was just right!
Exiting the mourning hall, Shen Wuxiao got a glass of wine for Jiang Huaiyue, and they stood aside talking.
"Yue'er!"
"Mmm? What is it?" Jiang Huaiyue responded softly.
"You don't need to deliberately try to gather information; listening from here is just as good."
Shen Wuxiao gestured to the people chatting in the distance.
Jiang Huaiyue naturally understood.
The Young Master of the Sea Brake Society had died so inexplicably, there were many people discussing it.
There were indeed people discussing, in small groups.
"You guys, do you think the person who killed Young Master Luo Han is still in Zhonghai?"
"I think he must have fled long ago; how could he possibly stay here?"
"Not necessarily. Zhonghai's exits are all guarded by people from the Sea Brake Society now. The highway exits, airports, even national roads and waterways, are all being watched."
"I heard the Sea Brake Society has hired bounty hunters with a hefty sum. That murderer is definitely going to die this time."
The discussions were varied, but Jiang Huaiyue couldn't help but frown as she listened.
The Sea Brake Society was truly determined to pursue this to the death.
The situation probably wouldn't calm down easily, and Lin Fan could remain hidden for now.
The discussion continued over there: "They didn't just hire bounty hunters; Zhonghai has three major powers, and the other two major forces are also helping, along with the Martial Arts Association, and even the authorities have launched a full-scale search."
"That can't be right, would the authorities get involved?"
"It's normal that you don't know. I heard it was arranged by Young Master Shen. Young Master Shen knew Young Master Luo Han, so he naturally wouldn't stand idly by!"
Listening to the conversation, Jiang Huaiyue's beautiful eyes narrowed.
Finally, she heard something about Shen Wuxiao.
Regarding this, Shen Wuxiao himself said, "It was my arrangement, just listen."
Shen Wuxiao secretly tugged Jiang Huaiyue's hand at this moment: "Yue'er, wait here for a moment. I'll go chat with them and see if I can find out anything."
Jiang Huaiyue nodded: "Be careful!"
It was more convenient for Shen Wuxiao to go; she herself was indeed too eye-catching.
"Don't worry!" Shen Wuxiao smiled, then strode over.
"Gentlemen, when you were talking about Young Master Shen just now, was it Shen Wuxiao, Young Master Shen?" Shen Wuxiao easily joined the conversation.
But the voices of those speaking immediately lowered, becoming quieter.
Jiang Huaiyue didn't get too close, but she wasn't worried. After all, "Young Master Sikong" was over there, and he would tell her when he returned.
Although the discussion over there seemed intense, they were actually talking about irrelevant matters.
Shen Wuxiao directly asked them to contact Uncle Wu and his wife.
With such a good excuse and such a good opportunity, Shen Wuxiao had to do something.
After a brief murmur, Shen Wuxiao only returned to Jiang Huaiyue's side.
"How was it?" Jiang Huaiyue asked.
"I got some information, but it's not important. Staying here any longer won't yield anything else, we can leave!"
Shen Wuxiao originally wanted to arrange some people, and then take advantage of the situation to flirt with Jiang Huaiyue.
But he wanted something bigger.
So he needed to return to the villa first.
Jiang Huaiyue was a bit reluctant to leave. She had come all this way and hadn't gotten much useful information. How could she just leave?
"Listen to me first. We need to leave. I just went to inquire about Shen Wuxiao, and that triangular-eyed man kept staring at me without saying a word."
"I suspect that bastard has something to do with Shen Wuxiao. If they find out we're investigating Shen Wuxiao, it'll bring unnecessary trouble!"
"Isn't that perfect?" Jiang Huaiyue was very confident.
"Perfect for what? If we keep digging, they'll really suspect we have ulterior motives."
"If our purpose is exposed and we get caught, and then used to threaten Brother Lin Fan, what will happen to Brother Lin Fan?"
"He's so loyal, he'll definitely come out. Wouldn't that be walking right into a trap?"
Jiang Huaiyue also felt he had a point.
After all, everyone else there was just chatting, while they were the ones digging deep, which would naturally attract attention.
With so many people present, they couldn't tell who was there to mourn and who was deliberately placed as bait.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Jiang Huaiyue nodded.
Today wasn't a complete loss. At the very least, she could confirm that they didn't know Lin Fan's location either.
Lin Fan was still safe.
They should leave for now.
Shen Wuxiao and Jiang Huaiyue didn't hesitate and left the scene immediately.
They got outside, got into the car, and drove away.
However, not long after they left, a car quietly followed them.
After several turns, Shen Wuxiao and Jiang Huaiyue arrived at the villa.
Shortly after entering and closing the door, Jiang Huaiyue's beautiful eyes instantly became extremely sharp.
She became completely vigilant.
Shen Wuxiao naturally knew what was going on, but still asked, "What's wrong?"
"Someone followed us!" Jiang Huaiyue's gaze swept around.
"Ah? No way?" Shen Wuxiao feigned surprise.
Then he quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Uncle Wu.
The message was simple: "Uncle Wu, charge in. I'll activate Domain Time Stop immediately. Say whatever, the ultimate goal is to put us together!"
Uncle Wu replied, "OK."
Shen Wuxiao decisively deleted the records.
Then he pretended to be nervous and stood there, "We were really being followed?"
"I thought that triangular-eyed guy was acting strange. Could he really suspect something about us!"
Jiang Huaiyue remained extremely vigilant, slowly backing away, one hand shielding Shen Wuxiao.
The two of them slowly moved towards the wall!
Moving towards the wall was to avoid a surprise attack.
"There should be two people, both experts at Rank Five or above!"
Jiang Huaiyue was still trying to search.
The next second, from the left and right, the glass on both sides instantly shattered!
Jiang Huaiyue's gaze locked onto the right side and she was about to make a move!
But just as she was about to act, Shen Wuxiao behind her had already activated his special ability.
Domain Time Stop!
The range was deliberately locked onto him and Jiang Huaiyue.
Even the wall clock had stopped.
Jiang Huaiyue's eyes widened in shock, clearly stunned.
Her entire body felt as if it had been immobilized, her eyes could still move, but she couldn't speak.
She naturally knew about the special ability called Domain Time Stop.
This top-tier ability was the most powerful in the control category.
How could it appear here? Could it be the two people who broke in?
Once controlled, unless they suffered a certain level of damage, it was equivalent to being completely paralyzed.
But how could such a powerful expert be targeting them!
