Holographic Bodyguard Log

Chapter 11: Following and Entering

Zhang Yi swaggered back into the front gate of the police station. Not only were there guards at the gate, but also several surveillance cameras, yet as he walked by, both the guards and the cameras seemed to have turned a blind eye to him.

Zhang Yi couldn’t help but feel a rush of satisfaction, but he also knew he couldn’t waste too much time. His invisibility skill only lasted for three minutes, so he had to enter the police station and deal with Officer Lu Xiaoyu within that short time frame!

He wasn’t planning to hit her or curse her, but he had a much more effective way of dealing with her—he was going to take her gun.

That’s right. Ever since Zhang Yi was escorted back to the station, he had been thinking about how to get back at Lu Xiaoyu. Losing her weapon would be the ultimate blow to her.

For a police officer, losing their weapon was a huge deal. They would be immediately suspended, and even if the gun was later recovered, they would still face disciplinary action and be transferred to a department where they wouldn’t carry a gun. Worse still, if the gun were lost permanently, or involved in an incident, the consequences wouldn’t just be disciplinary—they could be criminal.

Although Lu Xiaoyu was beautiful and likely the pride of the police force, she was also arrogant and overbearing.

She represented the law, yet she had been the one to break it. Zhang Yi wasn’t even a real suspect, but just because of a verbal spat, this female officer dared to press a gun against his head and strike him with the butt of it. How arrogant could she be? Zhang Yi had to get back at her.

As Zhang Yi quickly ran toward the building, he was surprised to see that Lu Xiaoyu was walking out, carrying her bag.

"She’s out? Is her shift over?" Zhang Yi stopped immediately. Once she was outside the station, it would be more difficult to act.

At that moment, the alarm of an Audi A4 in the parking lot went off twice.

"Is that her car?" Zhang Yi’s eyes lit up, and he quickly sprinted toward the Audi A4. His plan was to get into her car and find an opportunity to take action.

Zhang Yi reached the passenger side of the Audi first and crouched down to wait for the right moment.

Lu Xiaoyu walked up to the driver’s door, humming a little tune, and opened it, preparing to get in.

Just then, a man rushed out of the station—it was Li Yong.

"Xiaoyu, wait up! I’ll be with you in a sec!" Li Yong shouted, running toward Lu Xiaoyu’s car.

"Brother Li, you really should buy one of these, huh? It’s so inconvenient now with the no private use of public vehicles policy." Lu Xiaoyu said as she opened the back door of the car, holding her bag. If Li Yong hadn’t shown up, her bag would have gone in the passenger seat, but now she had to put it in the back seat.

"The opportunity's here!" Zhang Yi thought. His courage was enormous—just as Lu Xiaoyu opened the rear door, Zhang Yi swiftly darted inside the car through the front door, squeezing himself into the back seat.

The entire motion was so fast and fluid that Lu Xiaoyu didn’t notice a thing.

"You think I’m like you? One day an A4, the next day a BMW? Besides, my wife won’t let me. With the traffic so bad, it’s better to take the subway anyway." Li Yong and Lu Xiaoyu continued chatting.

Soon, Li Yong sat in the passenger seat, and Lu Xiaoyu started the car and drove out of the station.

Zhang Yi lay flat on the backseat foot mat, aware that he had only three minutes left before his invisibility would wear off. He had to keep his body as low as possible to avoid detection.

Sure enough, after about three minutes, he saw his hands and feet gradually becoming visible. Zhang Yi immediately focused his mental energy to stimulate the "candied hawthorn cells" in his brain. It was painful—like being pricked by needles—but it was exactly as he expected. There was a delay after the invisibility wore off, and it seemed that for the next few minutes, he wouldn’t be able to use the skill again.

He remained still, continuing to experiment with his ability. Meanwhile, Lu Xiaoyu and Li Yong chatted casually up front.

"That little security guard, what’s he even about? I really want to lock him up for a few days." As they chatted, they began discussing Zhang Yi.

"Xiaoyu, I’m not saying you, but you were a bit reckless today. Sometimes, you can be a bit too headstrong. We do this job for what? To keep the peace, to serve the people. Although that little security guard has been in and out of trouble, trying to provoke you, you can’t just pull a gun on someone’s head. That’s really a huge no-no. And you should be careful these days. Some outsiders might get scared with a few harsh words, but there are some who are quite extreme. You never know—they might seek revenge later. You should watch out for that."

"That guy?" Lu Xiaoyu scoffed, "I actually hope he comes after me. Then I’ll have a chance to catch him."

"Stop here, I’m getting off. I’ll take the subway home from here." Li Yong pointed to the entrance of Metro Line 3 ahead.

"Alright, see you later, Brother Li." Lu Xiaoyu was unconcerned. After Li Yong got out, she continued driving forward.

"Here we go…" About twenty minutes later, Zhang Yi, using his mental energy again, activated his invisibility. His body disappeared once more.

"I’ll have to recheck everything tomorrow." Zhang Yi only discovered his invisibility skill today, so he knew that it lasted for three minutes. However, he hadn’t tested whether he could use it consecutively, or how many times he could use it in a day. When he was in his dorm earlier, he had been too excited to think it through properly.

"What if my invisibility wears off, and when she gets home, she comes to the backseat to grab her bag? Won’t she see me? What should I do then?" Zhang Yi suddenly realized he wasn’t entirely safe. He could very well be discovered. He certainly couldn’t just kill Lu Xiaoyu, could he?

"Damn it, cover my face, knock her out!" Zhang Yi was an extremely bold person who never feared anything. Young, hot-blooded, and stubborn, he had inherited the tenacity of Shandong people. So, if he was really going to be discovered, he’d just cover his face and knock Lu Xiaoyu out.

After another twenty minutes, Zhang Yi noticed the car entered a residential area. The car drove for less than a minute before stopping, and Lu Xiaoyu turned around in the driver’s seat to grab her bag.

At this point, Zhang Yi was no longer invisible, and he was so startled his heart nearly jumped out of his chest. But Lu Xiaoyu didn’t seem to notice anything. She was completely oblivious to his presence.

Lu Xiaoyu took out a garage door remote and pressed a button, then continued driving.

The car drove into a garage, and Zhang Yi clearly heard the garage door closing behind them.

Lu Xiaoyu got out of the car, and the garage was plunged into darkness.

"Is this her garage?" Zhang Yi carefully sat up. Although the garage was dark, his mental focus allowed him to see clearly. The garage was quite large, and there was a BMW supercar at the front, with a door on the left side. Lu Xiaoyu walked through that inner door.

"A villa!" Zhang Yi instantly realized that this was a wealthy person’s villa. The car had driven straight into the garage, and from there, they could go upstairs.

"Heh heh, stealing your gun from your own house, you never thought it would be me, right?" Zhang Yi chuckled deviously, then swaggered out of the car. He extended his mental energy a full fifteen meters, even penetrating the walls, and could see the living room behind the door.

The villa’s interior was very old-fashioned, with a scholarly atmosphere. It wasn’t luxurious, and the living room was empty.

Zhang Yi gently turned the door handle and stepped into the living room. As his mental focus moved upward, Lu Xiaoyu’s figure appeared in his mind.

"Hoo~" The moment Zhang Yi saw her, he froze because… Lu Xiaoyu was taking her clothes off.

"Uh… uh… keep going, keep going." Zhang Yi swallowed, acting like a pervert. Lu Xiaoyu was stunningly beautiful, her skin fair and tender, and her long legs were even more impressive than any car model he had seen.

With a "slap," Lu Xiaoyu, unaware, took off the last piece of clothing from her upper body.

"Uh..." Zhang Yi suddenly felt an itch in his nose. When he wiped it, a large amount of blood dripped onto his hand.

But that wasn’t the end of it, because… Lu Xiaoyu was now starting to remove her lower clothing.

Zhang Yi completely lost his composure. He had the impulse to rush upstairs and deal with this police beauty on the spot.

After undressing, Lu Xiaoyu confidently walked upstairs to the bathroom and began taking a shower.

"If I could join her for a swim, that would be amazing, but unfortunately, she’s not my type." Zhang Yi wasn’t a bad person, though he was a flirt. Watching a beautiful woman undress and shower was normal for men, but there were certain acts he would never condone.

For example, r**e—he despised people who did that, and it was something he would never consider.

After wiping his nose again, Zhang Yi quickly went upstairs. He still had his main task to complete, and that was his priority.

The villa was empty except for Lu Xiaoyu, who was in the shower, so Zhang Yi treated the place like it was his own home. He entered Lu Xiaoyu’s bedroom, opened the nightstand, and took out two tissues to carefully pick up her gun.

Zhang Yi had handled guns before. In sports school, he was part of the shooting team, so he had occasionally held one, but he wasn’t particularly interested in them. He knew that a gun was essentially a bomb.

He placed the gun inside one of the high-end stockings on the bed and then took the other stocking to clean up the footprints he had left, wiping the ground so thoroughly that even his mental focus couldn’t detect it.

He continued wiping his way out of the villa’s hallway and into the garden, where there was a stone table with three rattan chairs, a tea table, and several large flowerpots placed around the area. The stone platform was surrounded by grass and flowerbeds.

Zhang Yi pulled a flower out of one of the flowerpots, threw the two stockings and the gun inside, and then put the flower back and covered the soil.

"Heh heh, let’s see how you’re going to find it." Zhang Yi grinned mischievously. This was his revenge on Lu Xiaoyu.

"Time to go. I need to be careful, though. This is a high-end residential area, and there are cameras everywhere." Zhang Yi didn’t linger any longer. It was almost time for Lu Xiaoyu to finish showering, so he quickly exited the garden and vanished into the dark night.
