Midnight was the beginning of a new day. Just as midnight passed, Zhang Yi once again used his consciousness to attack the blood beads in his mind. Instantly, he could see his body disappearing!
He successfully became invisible again.
He waited for time to pass quietly. When three minutes passed, his body reappeared.
“Again!” Zhang Yi did not waste any time. He immediately continued his experiment. His main goal was to test if this invisibility could be continuous.
With a deep breath, his consciousness attacked the blood bead again. Though this time, there was no tingling sensation, and he did not turn invisible.
“Hmm? Do I have to wait?” Zhang Yi frowned. After waiting for about ten seconds, he attacked again.
Buzz! His body disappeared into thin air once again!
“There is a small time interval. I can’t be invisible continuously.” Zhang Yi was accumulating experience.
At 12:06 a.m., he reppeared for the second time. He immediately tried again, but he could not make himself invisible for the third time.
After waiting for ten seconds, he tried again, but to no avail.
“Do I have to wait for 20 seconds?” Zhang Yi waited silently and anxiously. After 20 seconds, he charged forward once more. This time, he succeeded. It was his third attempt at invisibility.
Even though he could not do it continuously, the time interval in between was not too long.
At 40 seconds past 12:10 a.m., he failed his fourth attempt.
At 12:11 a.m., he tried again, but he still did not succeed.
“Does the time interval extend on the fourth attempt?” Zhang Yi recalled that he had tried it three times in the dormitory, and the fourth attempt at invisibility was outside the police station, which was seven to eight hours from his previous attempts.
He began to experiment continuously, by the minute. However, the fourth time never came.
At 12:20 a.m., right after another failed attempt, the phone in his hand suddenly rang. The caller ID showed that it was President Xu Jiayun.
“Does this woman have a good impression of me? Is she calling to tell me she got home safe?” Calculating the time, Xu Jiayun should be home by now, right?
He picked up the phone, confused. However, the voice on the other end of the line was not Xu Jiayun, but a man.
“Excuse me, do you know the owner of the phone?”
“Uh… who are you? I know the owner. She’s my boss,” Zhang Yi said inexplicably.
“Hello, it’s like this. I’m from the Chaoyang Gate Police Station in Dongcheng District. We have just received a case and the owner of this phone was attacked and was greatly agitated. She is now in the hospital. We don’t know who her relatives are, so we dug up the phone records of her recent calls and called you. If you know the owner of the phone, please help me contact her family, or come over personally. She is on the second floor of the emergency medical center of Chaoyang Hospital.”
“I’ll be there right away.” Without waiting for the police to finish, Zhang Yi jumped up and ran downstairs.
President Xu was attacked!!
Although Zhang Yi’s character was not the best, he was a genuine and warm-hearted person. Not to mention that Xu Jiayun had some relationship with him, even if they did not have any relationship, he would still lend a hand in such a situation.
Of course, he was also puzzled. Could it be that President Xu did not have her parents’ contact numbers on her phone?
He quickly went downstairs, ran to the front of the hotel, and got into a taxi. At this time, money was secondary!
“Hey, Little Zhang, where are you going?!” The taxi driver knew Zhang Yi because he had been working the night shift for the past month and there were always a few taxis gathered in front of Fengdu Hotel at midnight. Therefore, Zhang Yi got to know the taxi drivers. They usually sat together and smoked cigarettes, and also knew each other’s names.
“Tax Collector, I’m going to Chaoyang Hospital. Hurry up, something’s happened!” Zhang Yi recognized the driver. The driver’s surname was very special. His name was He Dui and was often called Tax Collector as his nickname. He Dui was not old, he looked around his mid-twenties and did not look like a local, but he had been in Beijing for quite some time.
“Don’t call me Tax Collector. It’s unpleasant to hear, just call me Brother He. Also, what happened to you? Why do you want to go to the hospital in the middle of the night?” He Dui’s face was full of surprise. What was Little Zhang doing in the middle of the night in such a hurry to go to the hospital? Who was in trouble?
“A friend of mine was bitten by a dog. I’m going to visit my friend.” Zhang Yi did not mention that Xu Jiayun was attacked. This matter could be big or small, so he could not gossip about it.
“Oh, hehe.” He Dui smiled and did not ask anything else.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Chaoyang Hospital in less than half an hour. When Zhang Yi got out of the car, he threw a hundred yuan to He Dui and said, “Give me the change when I go to work tonight!”
“F*ck, I thought you were gonna ask me to keep the change!” He Dui rolled down the car window and scolded with a smile.
“Why didn’t you ask me not to pay instead? I gotta go now.” Zhang Yi waved his hand as he walked.
He Dui smiled and rolled up the car window. In fact, he did not want Zhang Yi’s money. However, Zhang Yi threw the money when he got out of the car, so he did not have time to reject him.
Zhang Yi soon arrived at the emergency department on the second floor. He saw a few police officers questioning a woman in the corridor, as if they were making a statement. At the stairway on the second floor, there was a cold-looking man in a suit. When Zhang Yi came up, the man sized him up twice with a sharp gaze.
When the police officer and the woman noticed that someone was walking over, they all looked at him in unison.
“Uhm, my name is Zhang Yi. A police officer called me just now and said that my boss was attacked? Where is she?” Zhang Yi said as he stood at the stairway entrance.
“Oh, it was me who called. You came quite quickly,” a police officer stood up and said.
“How can I not be quick? If I don’t curry favor now, when can I? How is she?” Zhang Yi said as he walked forward.
“She’s fine. You can go back now. Thank you!” Suddenly, the woman who was making a statement earlier stood up and thanked Zhang Yi, asking him to go back.
“You are?” Zhang Yi looked at the woman. This woman was about the same height as Xu Jiayun. She was also very beautiful and had an indescribable temperament.
That kind of temperament that radiated elegance and screamed nobleness.
The woman replied, “I am President Xu’s classmate. Officers, you should leave first. Jiayun was shocked and has just been sedated. When she recovers tomorrow, I will bring her to the police station to make a statement. It’s best to not disturb her for now.”
“Alright. You guys take care.” The two police officers who were seated stood up and nodded. After shaking hands with the woman and Zhang Yi, they turned around and went downstairs.
At this moment, Zhang Yi saw Xu Jiayun in the opposite ward. She seemed to have fallen asleep and was lying there motionlessly. Her hair was a little wet and messy, but there were no scars on her face. Only a bandage could be seen on her arm.
Seeing that she was not seriously injured, Zhang Yi heaved a deep sigh of relief and sat down.
When the woman saw that Zhang Yi did not leave but instead sat down, she frowned. However, she quickly shook her head, smiled, and said, “I don’t need you here. Thank you for your kindness. When President Xu wakes up, I’ll tell her that you came.”
“I need to take a break. Don’t worry about me. I’ll leave after some rest.” Zhang Yi took out his cigarette and wanted to light it up. However, when he looked at the no-smoking sign in the corridor, he put his cigarette away.
The cold man at the stairway slowly walked over and stood in front of Zhang Yi motionlessly.
Zhang Yi also guessed that the man was a bodyguard, the bodyguard of Xu Jiayun’s classmate.
The woman said nothing else and returned to the ward. After sitting alone for more than ten minutes, Zhang Yi got up and left.
There was indeed nothing for him to do here. Moreover, he and Xu Jiayun did not have any intimate relationship, so it was inappropriate for him to be here.
However, before he walked out of the hospital corridor, the woman suddenly walked out of the ward and shouted, “Wait… wait a minute.”
“What’s wrong?” Zhang Yi turned around and asked.
“Do you know how to drive? Do you have a driver’s license?” the woman asked.
Zhang Yi nodded. “Yes, I do. Why?”
“This is the key to President Xu’s car. Take it to the car repair center and drive it back tomorrow after it’s repaired. You can pay for it first, and then come back to President Xu for reimbursement.”
“Her car broke down? I only have 4,000 yuan in my pocket. Will that be enough?” Zhang Yi asked as he took the car keys.
The woman frowned when she heard Zhang Yi’s words. Then, she turned around and returned to the ward, before coming out with her bag.
“Here’s 30,000 yuan, and this is my business card. If it’s not enough, give me a call!” The woman threw three bundles of hundred yuan bills to Zhang Yi and handed him a small and exquisite business card with gold inlaid on it. The name card had the words “Tu Caihong” written on it. There was no other information on it.
When he saw how easily Tu Caihong handed him the money, Zhang Yi could not help but secretly click his tongue. Was this woman not afraid that he would steal the 30,000 yuan?
“Alright, I’ll drive the car back to the company after it’s repaired tomorrow.” Zhang Yi put the money in his pocket and left with the car keys.
At the same time, he was also extremely excited. The car of a beautiful boss, at the very least, would be an A4, right? He had never driven such a high-end car before.
After jogging down the stairs, he pointed the remote control at the parking lot.
“Little Zhang, over here, over here, where are you looking?” The taxi driver, He Dui, had not left yet and was waiting for him.
“F*ck, why haven’t you left yet?” Zhang Yi said with his eyes wide open.
“I didn’t have any customers. I wanted customers, so I waited for you.” He Di giggled.
“Sorry to disappoint you, I have a car now.”
Beep! Beep! Two sounds rang out from an Audi car in the parking lot. Zhang Yi immediately ran over excitedly.
He Di was surprised, and he drove the car over.
“A8. F*ck, it’s actually an A8. This car is worth more than a million, right?” When Zhang Yi walked to the car, his face was full of surprise. He originally thought it was an A4, but it was actually an A8.
“At least two million, but isn’t this your boss’s car? The one who was bitten by the dog upstairs is your boss, but that’s not right. The glass of her car was smashed.” He Dui got out of the car, leaned against the broken glass window, and looked inside.
“Why is there so much blood?” He Dui was shocked.
“Yeah, why is there so much blood? Could it be that someone’s artery was cut?” Zhang Yi saw it too. In the car, there were red bloodstains on the passenger side, the back, and the central control platform. It was splattered all over.
“No, this isn’t blood.” Suddenly, He Di wiped the bloodstains on the door with his finger and sniffed it. “Smells like ink.”
“You can tell?” Zhang Yi was a little confused. He Di could even distinguish the smell of ink?

“It should be. If I’m not wrong, your boss was attacked, right? Someone smashed her glass window and then splashed red ink all over her face, right?”
“I don’t know. My boss fell asleep and I was asked to repair her car. On that note, I have to trouble you. Where is the car repair center for A8? I can’t find it.”
“I can find it, but the center is not open at night. Tomorrow, I’ll bring you there during the day.”
“Okay, I’m going to play around with this car. How do I locate you tomorrow?” Zhang Yi was itching for a ride. He also liked cars. The Audi A8 was a good car that he had only heard of but never seen before, but now he finally had the chance to drive it.
“There’s no need for that. I’m coming with you. Haha, I’m done. Let’s go, Let’s go!” He Dui was also quite excited. He, too, wanted to try the car out..
