I'll Add Points To All Things

Chapter 257 Invisibility Ability Failure! Exposed!

“Have you found anything in the last few days?”

“No, I didn’t find anything.”

“What did the boss say?”

“He said that it might’ve been hidden by Chen Ye in a more secretive place.”

“We’ve searched this villa many times. What other hidden places are there?”

“It’s only that safe.”

“Let’s go. Go up and have a look.”

Hearing this, Su Yang was confused as he looked at the safe…

If he said that there was nothing in this safe, would they believe him?

However, it wasn’t a matter of whether they’d believe him or not. The more pressing matter at hand was that those two were coming up toward him right now!

Thinking of this, Su Yang didn’t have time to think about it, he even closed the safe and then turned the knob. After that, he quickly left the room.

As soon as he left the room, the light in the corridor lit up.

Su Yang was so frightened that his body shivered and his hands were cold.

He felt the blood in his body flowing back to his heart, and his heart was pounding “Ba-dump! Ba-dump! Ba-dump!”

Su Yang clenched his teeth and stood carefully against the base of the wall, not daring to move.

At this time, the two people downstairs also walked from the stairs to the corridor. They were were two tall, large, rugged and rounded men. One had a scar on his face while the other had a bit of a chipped ear. Both of them had the backs of tigers and the waists of a bear. Despite wearing the security uniform of Longteng Jiayuan, they still looked like thugs and gangsters.

When these two came to the corridor, they were stunned and stopped in their tracks.

The scar faced guy turned his head to look at the security guard next to him. “Did you hear anything?”

The other guy shook his head. “I don’t hear

it.”

He asked, “What’s wrong?”

Scarface stopped for a moment and shook his head in puzzlement. “It’s nothing. I probably misheard something.”

Saying that, he led the way into the study with the chipped-ear guy trailing behind him.

Su Yang was actually less than two meters away from them, tightly covering his mouth and not daring to breathe. However, he slipped on his foot accidentally just now.

As the two people went to look into the room, Su Yang’s reflex was to go downstairs. However, just as he reached the stairs, he turned around to go back. He also wanted to get out of the villa, but he wanted to know if the two people had accomplices outside. If they did, he’d have been caught in a trap of his own making as soon as the door was opened.

He was invisible anyway so if he hid in a corner, he wouldn’t be found.

Thinking so, he turned around and went to the window at the end of the corridor to hide.

As a result, he heard Scarface’s voice coming from the back room, “Hey? Did we close the door the last time you were here?”

The chipped-ear guy hesitantly said, “I forgot. It should be, right?” Scarface asked, “So did we just enter the study with the door opened?” The chipped-ear guy replied hesitantly, “It seems like it.”

Scarface relented. “Oh… Okay.”

Su Yang was about to die of fright as he hid by the window. The study was closed before, but he was in such a hurry to get out that he didn’t close it!

If he had better memory, he wouldn’t have been found out!

Just then, Su Yang suddenly discovered that the floating dust on the floor actually had his footprints on it and extended all the way to the corner he was hiding in.

Su Yang was shocked.

If those two people found out, he’d be finished!

Thinking like this, Su Yang turned his head rapidly. Then, he carefully opened the window next to him, stepped backwards by tracking the footprints and returned to the study door step by step.

Using that method, he followed the other row of footprints and went backward to the stairway, tiptoeing to another corner next to the stairway to hide.

A moment later, the two security guards were heard talking again from the study.

The chipped-ear guy asked, “What do you think the boss is looking for?”

Scarface replied, “How the hell do I know? He said he was looking for a document, but didn’t say what it was.”

The chipped-ear guy pressed on. “What was in that document?”

Scarface didn’t know what to say. “How do I know! Let’s find it first.”

The chipped-ear guy muttered, “We don’t even know what to look for and what to find…”

Since they couldn’t open the safe after tinkering with it for a while, their voices were heard from the study as they sat, discussing on a set of tables and chairs. “Why do you think our boss dares to conduct so much illegal business here?”

Scarface whispered, “Didn’t you hear the rumors? It’s said that our boss has a powerful backing in capital, and the people of Shanghai had to give him face.”

The chipped-ear guy said with a bit of disdain, “It’s all rumors from outside. We’ve been working here for five or six years, and we’ve never seen our boss meet anyone.”

Scarface tisked. “If you haven’t seen it, does it mean it’s not real? If you’ve never seen a woman with a big ass, does that mean women don’t have asses?”

The chipped-ear guy anxiously replied, “What do you mean I never seen one?! I’ve seen a lot!”

He continued in an exasperated tone, “But our boss is different! He’s been blowing his own horn for so many years but we’ve yet to see any leaders come meet him or the people he’s met at the capital. Anyway, Shanghai is so far away so no one can know if he’s bragging or if he’s for real.”

“I just feel like our boss is faking it. If it wasn’t for our boss working for him all these years and dealing with so many things, he probably would have been exposed already!”

“If I had our boss’s skills, I’d go out and brag that I have people in the capital. Who do you think would actually go to the capital to find out?”

“Come on, come on.” Scarface, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation with this one-track minded guy, said, “What you think is what you think. You’re just like Wong, all right?! I’ll go to the bathroom, and you can look around the room.”

Chipped-ear guy muttered, “Oh.” Then, Su Yang heard the sound of Scarface getting up in the study. Then, as Su Yang looked on, Scarface left the room, humming as he made his way to the toilet next to the hallway.

He heard the sound of draining and flushing water. After a while, Scarface came out of the toilet with his hands flailing and returned to his room.

Su Yang hid in the corner, wanting to continue to hear if there was any more useful information. However, it was as if someone had pressed the mute button in the study room. He could no longer hear anything.

Su Yang frowned and tried to prick up his ears but still, there was no sound.

Two minutes passed, and Su Yang’s instincts told him that something was wrong.

As soon as he lifted his leg, he saw Scarface and the chipped-ear guy walking, both with an iron rod in each hand, looking down at the footprints as they slowly walked out.

Su Yang’s heartbeat was pounding. He knew he was exposed. Scarface was obviously a bold and careful person and probably noticed something unusual when he came out of the toilet. However, he went back to the house and had a silent exchange with the chipped-ear guy.

After the exchange, the two of them picked up their weapons and began to follow the footprints to find the person that had broken into the house.

Su Yang really didn’t dare to move now. There was a layer of dust on the ground, and the more he walked, the faster he would be exposed!

He could only hope that what he did to hide his tracks earlier would be able to conceal it from these two people.

These two people then followed the footprints and checked room to room against Su Yang’s path, then all the way back to the study room, and then out of the study room to the window at the end of the corridor.

When they saw the window that Su Yang intentionally opened, they looked at each other, and finally spoke up.

The chipped-ear guy whispered, “Has someone been here?”

Scarface replied in exasperation, “No shit, sherlock! You’ve seen the footprints! Someone must have been here!”

The chipped-ear guy spoke, “But who is it? Who has the keys to this villa?”

Scarface shook his head, puzzled. “I don’t know…”

He looked out the wide open window, which blew inward with the slightly sultry summer night air, and mumbled, “Did that guy jump out of the window?”

“But why did he jump out the window?”

Scarface seemed to react as he smacked his lips. “Something’s wrong.”

He turned around again, bent over, stared at the footprints, and continued to walk backward.

This time he lined them up especially carefully and soon, he waved toward the chipped-ear guy. “Look! Here’s a line of separate footprints.” The chipped-ear guy asked, “Where? Where is it?”

Su Yang witnessed them find the footprints they were tracking earlier, continuing all the way to the corner of their hideout…

The two guards followed the footprints a little bit to find their way forward.

Su Yang squatted in the corner. His heartbeat was also a little faster as his clenched fists began to sweat.

He was clenching his lips and was staring at the two men, incomparably nervous!

He actually didn’t want to expose himself. Once he did so, it would mean that the people of Longteng Jiayuan would know that someone had infiltrated them. Then, it would be very troublesome for him to come back to investigate next time!

However, if it was getting to the point where he was about to be exposed and he would be discovered, he might as well take the initiative himself!

He planned to take one guy down before taking the other guy down after! ‘After all, I’m in stealth mode, so I still have a good chance of winning by surprise!’ Just as Su Yang was thinking this, Scarface and the chipped-ear guy were also approaching step by step.

Finally, they arrived in front of Su Yang…

Looking at the empty corner in front of them, the chipped-ear guy said hesitantly, “This is a wall.”

Saying that, he reached out and grabbed the air in front of him.

Su Yang’s heart was about to jump out of his throat. His hands were right above Su Yang’s head and if his head were any higher, that hand would’ve probably touched him.

When he looked up, the faces of the two security guards were right above him. Su Yang and the 2 security guards weren’t even half a meter apart. They were just squatting face to face, ‘looking’ at each other.

Su Yang held his breath, not daring to make a single move.

Time passed. One second, two seconds….

In the end, it was Scarface who said, “We’ve been cheated!

The chipped-ear guy looked at Scarface. “What’s wrong?”

Scarface replied, “These footprints are a distraction! The other party must’ve staged a stunt to delay us by having us follow this footprint to this dead end. The other guy has probably jumped through the window.”

The chipped-ear boy nodded in sudden realization. “Makes sense.”

Saying that, the two stood up and walked back.

Su Yang was relieved…

The feeling of being so close to them was really driving him crazy.

He felt like he would be discovered if he breathed within the distance they had between them. Fortunately, he held his breath!

Turning his back to Su Yang, the chipped-ear guy asked, “So what do we do next?”

Scarface replied, “What else can we do? Let’s go back and report the incident. Just tell them that someone came to the villa and the information was probably taken, right?!”

The chipped-ear guy laughed, “You’re so smart, Brother Dao!”

Scarface smiled in pride.

As they spoke, they each went back to the hallway to turn off the lights and gathered at the stairway to head downstairs. As they stepped down, the chipped-ear guy looked back at that corner that Su Yang was hiding at Su Yang, on the other hand, made a face at him. ‘Look, look all you want, you can’t see me anyway!’

While he was making weird faces, Su Yang suddenly felt the cool sensation enveloping his body to suddenly begin to dissipate from the top of his head to his toes. As he looked at his shoulders, arms, hands, and legs, he came to the sudden realization that he was gradually becoming visible…

Su Yang was confused! Only

His face was also frozen!

He now knew what it was like to be happy and sad at the same time!

‘What the hell is going on here?! Why is the invisibility disabled at such a critical time! Is this a joke?!

‘How can it suddenly fail? Can the abilities granted by the system fail? ‘Is there a hidden condition to this ability? Is the user is not allowed to make funny faces?’

The chipped-ear guy who happened to turn his head around was also confused as his mouth and eyes grew wider. His lips were trembling as his hands reached out to point at Su Yang. However, his hands were frozen in mid air.

After all, he was the one who witnessed Su Yang’s head, neck, shoulders, hands, body, and legs emerge gradually out of this air!

Earlier, he had just come out of that corner and had even reached out his hand to check that area personally. There wasn’t anything there a moment ago.

What’s more, the second floor of the villa now had the lights turned off, making Su Yang seem like a ghost appearing from the darkness. Nobody would believe him now if he claimed that he wasn’t a ghost!
