Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 367 Let’s fight. Let’s fight.
“Mr. Ma Zhaodi, you have done enough. You have accomplished one of the most difficult parts of this matter—helping Susie conceal her whereabouts and get to Star Labs.”

Without looking back, Wells drove his wheelchair toward the door: "The thing you should do now is go back to the street and continue doing business, or just go home. Don't let Erlin, in his rage, follow your trail and go straight to the Star Labs."

“Don’t doubt whether Erlin can find you. Even if he’s not a general, your food truck and you yourself are definitely not uncommon in Central City. He only needs to go to the police station and chat with a few people to find out the name of the Chinese boss pushing the food truck, and he can also find out where you live.”

The three people beside Barry nodded in agreement.

"Erlin will find you sooner or later, it's just a matter of time. Rather, it's good that he doesn't know your situation, which is why he didn't come to your house to look for you right away, giving you time to send Susie over."

“That goes without saying.” Ma Zhaodi smiled knowingly. “I even asked him if he knew my information. If he said he did, I wouldn’t even go home. I would just take Susie directly to the Starry Sky Laboratory.”

In short, we still hope that you will think twice before acting next time.

Wells left with his last words and went straight out of the hall.

Barry nodded to Ma Zhaodi, then disappeared in a flash with Susie. Cisco patted him on the shoulder, and Caitlin saw him out the door.

“That Erlin doesn’t look like a good person at all,” Caitlin comforted him. “Go home and get a good night’s sleep, Old Ma.”

“I only had a gun to my head, Caitlin,” Ma Zhaodi replied. “I’ve seen this kind of thing a lot, but life goes on—I’m not going to talk to you anymore, I’m going back to my stall.”

"?"

Caitlin was taken aback, wondering what he meant by 'having seen it all'?
However, Ma Zhaodi had already left on his three-wheeled vehicle, and she was unable to ask the question.

Back on the street, Ma Zhaodi looked at the sky. It wasn't too late yet. To be honest, quite a few people had patronized his business on the way to the Star Lab. The remaining spicy strips in the car should be able to sell out within an hour.

Of course, it's also possible that the cat ate most of it; in any case, it's still sucking on the spicy snack on Ma Zhaodi's head right now.

That's why it hasn't spoken all day; its mouth has been occupied the whole time.

In any case, Ma Zhaodi ultimately attributed the rapid sell-out of spicy strips to his reputation and network of contacts.

He parked his car on the side of the road and took out his phone.

"Three-wheeled vehicle, what's the situation in Erlin?"

"After two hours of searching the neighborhood and surrounding area, the military could no longer find any trace of Susie. General Erling seemed to have withdrawn his team, but he himself, along with two others, was on his way to the Central City Police Department."

"Old Deng has a lot of energy and a strong temper."

Ma Zhaodi chuckled: "Let's set up a stall in front of the police station."

"Isn't it a bit cruel to be so quick to mock and ridicule?"

"Huh? Is it that cruel?" The three-wheeled vehicle rolled its eyes and led Ma Zhaodi to the police station entrance in a flash.

“Inspector Singh, I must remind you, this is an internal military matter, and your police have no right to interfere. In fact, you'd better arrest him the next time you see him and then notify me—”

"General Erling, this is the Central City Police Department. We have a responsibility to protect the personal safety and legal rights of the citizens of Central City. If you just want our police department's normal cooperation, then we will have no objection."

However, in reality, everyone in the police department had reservations. Even when police departments from different regions cooperated on cases, there was always open and covert struggle for credit, let alone when the police and the military were two separate systems. They didn't like an outsider, a general suddenly appearing out of nowhere, taking advantage of the central city police department. In addition, Erlin was an utterly unlikable old bastard, so everyone in the police department had little affection for him.

Singh, who was not even in the same league as Erlin, was arguing with the arrogant general. He took out his phone and showed Erlin a video: "But look, are you asking for normal cooperation? Can you explain what it means for a general to directly draw his gun and threaten an ordinary citizen?"

Erlin's face immediately darkened. Looking at the video on his phone and the eye-catching title, he instantly understood the seriousness of the matter.

Erling, who managed to rise to the rank of general, was already practically a political animal.

"This matter involves internal military secrets, and the level of secrecy is very high. Is this the police inspector? You have no right to ask. I can only tell you that this man is suspected of harboring military deserters and leaking secrets. He has very serious problems."

“I advise the Central City Police Department to figure out what it should and shouldn’t do.”

"is it?"

A familiar voice rang out at the entrance of the police station. Singh and Erlin turned around and saw that it was Ma Zhaodi setting up a stall at the entrance.

“Selling spicy snacks can lead to so many crimes? Something doesn’t feel right to me,” Ma Zhaodi asked. “To me, it seems more like you’re planning to frame and kill someone from a minority group you don’t like while on a mission.”

"But that's normal, after all, you're a general, a powerful and influential person, so it's always easy for you to escape legal punishment."

Three sentences were enough to make General Erlin blush again. He subconsciously put his hand on his holster and finally managed to restrain the urge to draw his gun.

"I don't care what excuses you're trying to make." Erlin waved his hand with a cold smile: "Since you dared to walk into this trap, come back to the base with me and confess your crimes in detail."

"General Erling, I won't stand by and watch you take away a law-abiding citizen of the city without cause." Singh stood up and confronted him directly: "Especially considering your previous behavior, I seriously doubt whether you really intend to interrogate him, or whether you are simply an extreme racist?"

Joe stepped forward at this moment. Ma Zhaodi had saved his life last time, and he couldn't just watch him be taken away by Erlin, because this time it was clearly going to be very dangerous: "General Erlin, you should at least produce evidence of his crimes."

Erlin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. What evidence did he have? He had just checked the surveillance footage at the police station, and Susie had not appeared on Ma Zhaodi's street from beginning to end. He had found nothing.

His reason for arresting Ma Zhaodi was simply because he felt there was something wrong with the guy; he didn't actually have any evidence.

"I've said it before, this is an internal military matter involving state secrets, and you have no right to see the evidence." He said coldly, "Now, anyone who stands in my way will be treated as obstructing the military investigation and will be reported to higher authorities."
