Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Han Xue Ran Away

“Team Leader Luo!”

Seeing Luo Fei fainting, the third assaulter was shocked again and shouted in a panic.

Hearing that the gunfire outside had stopped, as well as the shouting of the Major Case Unit, Fang Xiaocao knew Axi had failed this time.

The battle was over.

The sinful life of Axi was also about to end.

Fang Xiaocao picked up her cellphone, opened WeChat, and sent a message to Tom.

“Tom, where are you now?”

[Tom: Princess Your Highness, I’m just at the milk tea shop opposite the hotel, drinking milk tea.]

Fang Xiaocao had just sent out the WeChat message.

Tom replied instantly on the other side.

Seeing Tom’s message, Fang Xiaocao paused for a moment.

She then composed another WeChat message and sent it to Tom.

“Tom, have you seen Han Xue?”

“Did Han Xue run away, or has she returned to the hotel?”

Now that Axi was finished, Fang Xiaocao’s attention was entirely on Han Xue.

Axi and Han Xue, these two cohorts in crime who both tried to kill her, Fang Xiaocao wanted to let neither of them escape.

[Tom: Princess Your Highness, that woman Han Xue seems to have run away. I haven’t seen her around the hotel.]

In the milk tea shop, Tom, drinking his milk tea, saw Fang Xiaocao’s WeChat message, looked around, confirmed Han Xue was not there, then composed and sent the message to Fang Xiaocao.

Seeing the message from Tom, Fang Xiaocao frowned tightly, feeling somewhat regretful.

Han Xue had managed to escape.

Fang Xiaocao somewhat regretted not having Tom forcefully detain Han Xue at the time.

If at that moment, Tom had used force to capture Han Xue, and delivered her to Song Lin along with Axi after he was captured, it would have been perfect.

While Fang Xiaocao was regretting this internally, a series of noisy footsteps came from the corridor on the fifth floor.

Fang Xiaocao brought up the surveillance video to check the situation in the corridor.

She saw that support from the city bureau and medical emergency personnel had arrived at the same time.

Fang Xiaocao watched on the surveillance video as Song Lin, Axi, and three unfamiliar criminal investigators were carried on stretchers by the medical personnel toward the elevator.

“What a pity…”

“Axi wasn’t killed!”

Seeing Axi on the stretcher in the surveillance video, still struggling, Fang Xiaocao murmured with a look of regret.

Fang Xiaocao would have been happy had Axi simply been killed by Song Lin and the others in a hail of bullets.

Now that Axi was still alive, kicking and struggling with energy, it was quite disappointing for Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao closed the surveillance video window and switched to the WeChat window to send a message to Tom.

“Tom, look for Han Xue.”

“If you find Han Xue, tell me immediately.”

Fang Xiaocao edited the message and clicked send.

[Tom: Received!]

Tom never refused an order from Fang Xiaocao. The mental seed planted by the hypnosis technique deepened over time.

That mental seed, like a brainwashing device operating around the clock, consistently brainwashed Tom.

The longer it lasted, the more loyal Tom became to Fang Xiaocao, unless someone with a hypnosis technique far superior to Fang Xiaocao discovered that Tom was hypnotized and could remove the hypnosis.

But…

If someone did that, Tom could very likely become an idiot.

That was the fallback Fang Xiaocao had left.

The mental seed could only be forcefully broken.

“Go, spare no effort to find her!”

Fang Xiaocao sent another message to Tom.

[Tom: Received, don’t worry, Your Highness.]

After replying to Fang Xiaocao’s message, Tom immediately put away his phone, picked up his half-finished milk tea, and leisurely walked out of the milk tea shop toward the western restaurant.

Han Xue didn’t come to the hotel; she must have escaped.

The western restaurant was not far from the hotel. If Han Xue wanted to flee, she definitely wouldn’t go near the hotel but rather in the opposite direction.

Tom was about to follow that road.

Although it was difficult, what if?

Tom could tell that Han Xue, though cautious and smart, definitely hadn’t received any professional training.

Using his professional knowledge of surveillance and counter-surveillance, along with the high-tech tools at his disposal, finding Han Xue might not be too difficult.

Tom walked unhurriedly on the street.

His eyes scanned both sides of the street, memorizing each shop that had surveillance cameras and the angles at which they filmed.

These were his aids in tracking Han Xue.

If the tracking failed, Tom would return, use his high-tech tools to hack into these shops’ surveillance systems, pull up the footage, and look for Han Xue.

As Tom strolled, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

He walked toward a trash bin by the roadside.

Reaching in, he pulled out a human skin mask.

Tom pocketed the human skin mask and turned into a small alleyway.

Upon entering the alley, Tom unfolded the mask and examined it closely.

After looking for a while, Tom blinked and muttered, “This face-changing technique is really severe, actually made from real human skin.”

Tom dropped the mask on the ground.

He took out his phone again.

[Tom: Princess, I think I need a photo of Han Xue’s real face now.]

Fang Xiaocao, upon receiving Tom’s message, couldn’t help but be stunned and asked in confusion, “What happened?”

Fang Xiaocao was puzzled why Tom needed Han Xue’s photo.

Han Xue was a wanted criminal; would she dare to show her true face?

[Tom: That woman Han Xue discarded her face-changing human skin mask.]

[Tom: It’s a real human skin; this woman is really insane.]

Reading the messages from Tom, Fang Xiaocao also felt a chill.

Fang Xiaocao knew Han Xue was crazy.

But Fang Xiaocao hadn’t anticipated Han Xue being this crazy.

To actually affix real human skin to her own face.

Just thinking about it made Fang Xiaocao’s skin crawl.

“Hold on a moment, I’ll look for it.”

Fang Xiaocao replied to Tom.

She started searching for Han Xue’s photo in her phone’s photo album.

Soon, Fang Xiaocao found a front-face photo of Han Xue in the album’s trash bin.

Fang Xiaocao immediately restored the data, saved the photo back to the album, and sent it to Tom.

“This is Han Xue’s true appearance.”

[Tom: Okay, received!]

[Tom: I hope that she doesn’t have any other human skin masks.]

After sending the message, Tom put his phone back into his pocket and walked out of the alley.

Tom didn’t attempt to track Han Xue by her clothes.

Since Han Xue had taken off her face-changing mask, she surely would have changed her clothes as well.

After all, Han Xue had the assets of the mask’s original owner.

With the shootout at the hotel having just ended a short while ago, even if the police immediately blocked her credit cards, she would have had enough time to buy new clothes.
