"Only knows how to curse women, what kind of skill is that!" Lin Yi pursed his lips and looked at the bald man: "Baldy, your real goal isn't to rob the bank, right? Robbing the bank is just a cover, isn't it? Your true target is Chu Mengyao?"
"Hmph, what if I did? Aren't you still my prisoner?" The bald man had no need to deny it at this point. In his view, Lin Yi, this show-off, was just a fish in his hands, and he could do whatever he wanted. He wasn't afraid of Lin Yi knowing his purpose. What difference would it make even if he told him?
"You won't get far. The police will follow you and then eliminate you." Lin Yi looked at the bald man with some sympathy.
"That's impossible. I've already planned my escape route!" The bald man said smugly: "The police are probably already running around in circles because of me. Hehe, there's more than one car like this!"
"Is that so?" Lin Yi was somewhat impressed by the bald man's intelligence. He wasn't as stupid as he thought, but it was all in vain. His most foolish move was letting Lin Yi get in the car, which sealed the fate of his operation.
At the same time, Song Lingshan was nervously holding a walkie-talkie, maintaining constant contact with each team.
"Captain Song, this is Liu Wangli from the First Squad. We've spotted the Hyundai van with the license plate Song A74110. Please give instructions!" Liu Wangli's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"Follow them, but be cautious and don't let them notice!" Song Lingshan instructed.
"Understood!" Liu Wangli then ordered the driver to start the car.
Song Lingshan sighed in relief. "Hmph, no matter how smart you are, you didn't think I had trackers at every intersection, did you? Let's see where you run now!" Just as Song Lingshan was feeling smug, another report came through the walkie-talkie.
"Captain Song, this is Zhang Xiaohang from the Second Squad. We've spotted the Hyundai van with the license plate Song A74110. Please give instructions!" This time it was Zhang Xiaohang, the captain of the Second Squad.
"What?" Song Lingshan was taken aback. "Where did you see it?"
"On the Ring Road. Please give instructions!" Zhang Xiaohang said.
"Ring Road? That's not right. Liu Wangli from the First Squad saw it on Minren Road earlier." Song Lingshan was puzzled. How did the kidnappers drive in a circle and come back? But she still instructed: "Follow them, and don't let them notice!"
"Understood!" Zhang Xiaohang followed Song Lingshan's orders.
"Captain Song? This is Sun Jiayia from the Third Squad. We've spotted the Hyundai van with the license plate Song A74110. Please give instructions!" Another voice came from the walkie-talkie, this time from Sun Jiayia, the captain of the Third Squad.
"You saw it too?" Song Lingshan's head started to hurt. She realized they might have been tricked. The kidnappers probably used more than one car with the same license plate. Song Lingshan was furious!
To be outsmarted by these kidnappers, Song Lingshan was very frustrated. If Captain Yang were here, he would have seen through the kidnappers' plan at a glance. But she had fallen for it, which was embarrassing.
The walkie-talkie crackled again with the voice of the captain of the Fourth Squad. Before he could finish, Song Lingshan asked: "Did you spot the Hyundai van with the license plate Song A74110?"
"Yes, Captain Song, you're amazing. We saw the Hyundai van with the license plate Song A74110. What should we do now?" The captain of the Fourth Squad asked.
"Follow it." Song Lingshan felt like she was about to collapse. She was almost certain that the kidnappers had used the first and second 74110 cars to lead her teams away, then escaped on other routes. They were probably long gone by now...
...
"Why the kidnapping?" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, very curious about why this man had abducted Chu Mengyao. If it was just for money, they had already robbed the bank and taken over a million. Did they plan to extort Chu Pengzhan? That was a very dangerous move, and they might end up being caught by the police.
"Why? Good question!" The bald man smirked, pointing at the bags of money on the ground. "It's simple, I'm doing it for the money!"
"For the money?" Lin Yi frowned. "Kidnapping? To extort Chu Mengyao's father and get a ransom?"
"You don't need to know that." The bald man was annoyed by Lin Yi's many questions.
"Tell me, at least let me die with some understanding." Lin Yi looked very curious, and it was hard to refuse him.
The bald man looked at Lin Yi and thought, it's fine to tell this kid, I'll get rid of him anyway. "Someone paid us to kidnap this girl!"
"What will you do after kidnapping her?" Lin Yi asked.
" Haven't decided yet, waiting for a call." The bald man said.
"Who asked you to kidnap her?" Lin Yi continued.
"Don't know, Cihua introduced us." The bald man said.
"Who is Cihua?" Lin Yi asked again.
"Damn! Why so many questions? If you ask one more, I'll kill you!" The bald man was getting impatient and started cursing.
"Okay, don't move, or I'll kill you." Lin Yi suddenly had a gun in his hand, pointing it at the bald man's temple.
"You... you..." The bald man's eyes widened. Who could tell him what was going on? Weren't Lin Yi's hands tied?
The other kidnappers in the van were also stunned, not understanding how Lin Yi had managed to point a gun at their leader's head.
"How did you get out of the ropes?" The bald man was confused. Indeed, he was really confused. Weren't Lin Yi's hands tied together?
"Oh, when I was a kid, I was pretty clumsy. I often tied myself up with string while playing, and over time, I learned to untie myself." Lin Yi said.
"Wow!" The bald man's mouth dropped open. Really? Playing with string could be so impressive? But he was still surprised: "How did you get the gun?"
"I took it from Ma Liux." Lin Yi nodded toward Ma Liux, who was closest to him.
Ma Liux instinctively felt his pocket and was shocked. His gun was indeed gone. It must have been taken by Lin Yi.
The bald man was now completely silent. He was impressed. What was this? This kid was too impressive. In his mind, he cursed Ma Liux's ancestors.
"Alright, don't move. Your leader's head may look shiny, but one shot and it will explode." Lin Yi said casually, but the bald man shivered involuntarily.
