Chapter 204: The Fragrance Fades, The Jade Perishes
"Someone’s knocking at the door?" Yusuf Zuck and Lena Brown both woke up startled, sat up, and Yusuf immediately released his telekinesis.
Two Mexican police officers, both burly, also had one hand on their gun holsters, looking as though they might draw their weapons at any moment.
"It’s the police!" Yusuf spoke in a heavy tone.
"The police?" Lena was momentarily taken aback, casting a strange glance at Yusuf. She knew Yusuf could turn invisible, but the fact that he could tell the people outside were police officers without even seeing them... could it be that Yusuf could also see through walls?
Of course, Lena was only stunned for a moment before she stopped pondering it any further. Yusuf was a very strange person, after all, and if he said he could see through walls, she would believe him; what was so unbelievable about that, if he could even turn invisible?
"But why would the police knock on our door?" Lena wondered aloud.
"Open it and see, ask them what’s the matter," Yusuf said with a grim look on his face. The Mexican police were not to be trusted, but now they had no escape and could only adapt to the situation.
Lena tidied up her clothes and makeup, then opened the door and asked in English.
The two officers quickly scanned the room, and when they saw Yusuf, they exchanged glances with each other, then one of them began to converse with Lena.
After a moment, Lena appeared a bit agitated, continuing to talk with the officers, who kept shaking their heads in response.
