Almost a second before Jiang Baimian switched on the flashlight on her phone, Shang Jianyao threw the bead—which had lost its Destiny Connection power—into a trashcan in the bathroom.
Just as Long Yuehong made the judgment that there was a power outage everywhere, he saw several nobles walk to the male bathroom.
He also heard a slightly elderly male voice coming from the walkie-talkie in one of Marcus's bodyguards' hands. "Open the bathroom door."
"It's already open. The other noble's attendant opened it," Marcus's bodyguard replied briefly.
Marcus and Shang Jianyao weren't the only groups of people in the bathroom. There were also other nobles, their attendants, and bodyguards.
This was the environment Jiang Baimian was looking forward to—not many people—which wouldn't interfere with the operation—but there was also a sizable number. There were other 'suspects.'
