Anthony had anticipated this and had already contacted Charles in advance, obtaining an anonymous property from him. Located in the outskirts, it was isolated and there was no need to worry about the Investigation Bureau asking neighbors and discovering any issues. As for this anonymous property, it had been uninhabited for a long time, gathering dust, which was not a concern at all.
Xu Lieming was reported missing, supposedly taken by Alien Life. Since it involved alien technology, disguising the scene should be a trivial matter. Any difficulties could simply be attributed to Alien Technology.
With his subordinates handling things this way, Xu Lie felt amused and smirked: "Let’s leave something for William."
Close to eleven at night, William and Rims drove to the residence provided by the director, where Xu Lie lived. The two-story villa in the outskirts was nestled against the mountains and beside water, boasting beautiful scenery. However, under the cover of the desolate night, it appeared eerie and foreboding.
Rims frowned from the passenger seat. "Is that where he lives?"
William shrugged nonchalantly. "Seems normal to me. I often see news about wealthy people buying land outside the city to build villas."
After stopping the car, William eagerly strode towards the villa, feeling a strong intuition that the Heroic Senior must have left something behind for future generations! He had to find it!
"Damn it!" Rims muttered under his breath as he watched William excitedly rush towards the villa. He still wanted to run away. Yet for some reason, during dinner, hearing William's admiration for Xu Lie and witnessing the spark in his eyes inexplicably drew him along. Did he also share William's sense of justice?
Confused, Rims could only follow behind silently.
The villa was unlocked; all doors and windows were wide open. Upon entering without turning on any lights, both William and Rims pulled out small flashlights equipped for search teams to illuminate their surroundings.
As Rims shone his light around, he noticed a thin layer of dust. "Are you sure you didn't get the wrong place? It looks like no one has lived here for a long time."
William's pupils remained bright, showing no signs of defeat or frustration. "Don't forget, Lye was taken by the Alien Life. They can easily disguise themselves as humans, so creating a bit of dust here would be even simpler, right? Perhaps there's a little gadget in their Alien Technology that, with the push of a button, could fill this entire room with dust."
That bright gaze gave Rims an illusion of seeing a younger version of Director Anthony. Their superior, Anthony, had eyes that sparkled just like that.
But the question was, if the aliens had disguised this place, had they also searched it? Had they taken anything that could be taken? Even if Xu Lie left something behind as a backup plan, it might have been destroyed or taken by the aliens on the spot. What else could they find?
After spending an hour searching every nook and cranny of the first floor of the villa, they found nothing. Not only were there no remnants left by Xu Lie, but they didn't even see a trace of food. The water and electricity were still functioning; during their search, if their hands got dirty, they could easily wash them.
Rims felt particularly grateful for his decision to eat at the convenience store. If he had completely trusted William and come here, he would have had to continue starving.
In the early hours of the morning, the two made their way to the second floor of the villa, heading straight for the master bedroom. After rummaging around for a while in the master bedroom, they accidentally triggered something that caused Light and Shadow to rise again, reconstructing Xu Lie's image. However, this time it was not as large as the UFO projection; instead, it was a normal human figure.
