Large raindrops pelted my face.

Qi Feng and Kou Shi trudged along the muddy slope, their feet sinking deep into the mud.

The unlicensed taxi driver had clearly been keeping an eye on the commotion on the hillside. When he saw the two rushing down, he disregarded the torrential rain and abruptly pushed open the car door to greet them.

"Officer... what's wrong?"

"No time to explain! Driver, get in the car now! Drive to that bend ahead, to the narrowest part of the road, then turn the car sideways and block the road!"

Time was running out; he needed to make preparations before Liu Juan and the others arrived!

The driver was taken aback, but seeing the serious expressions on Qi Feng and Kou Shi's faces, he didn't dare to say anything more. He hurriedly climbed back into the driver's seat and started the car.

As Qi Feng instructed, the car precisely positioned itself at the narrow bend ahead.

The dirt roads in the countryside are not wide to begin with, and now that the car is blocking the way, not to mention motorcycles, even pedestrians have to squeeze sideways to get past.

"Brother Shitou, hide in the roadside bushes where they're coming from. Find a good spot, conceal yourself, and act according to the situation!" Qi Feng wiped the rain off his face and said to Kou Shi.

Kou Shi nodded heavily, without uttering a word of nonsense, and turned to find a place to hide.

Qi Feng turned to look at the somewhat flustered driver and said.

"Driver, the crucial moment has arrived. You'll have to cooperate with me in putting on a show."

"Just say you were driving an unlicensed taxi to take me to the next city, trying to take a shortcut, but the roads were slippery from the rain, and the car skidded and broke down. When those two guys get here, have them help push the car. Just make sure you can lure that guy over! The rest is up to Brother Stone!"

Just as Qi Feng finished speaking, a faint sound of a motorcycle engine drifted from afar.

coming!

Qi Feng and the driver immediately got to work.

Qi Feng yanked open the car's hood, and the two of them pretended to stick their heads out, pointing and gesturing at the engine, which they couldn't understand at all.

"Hey driver, don't be nervous, please don't be nervous." Qi Feng could feel the driver's body trembling violently beside him. He lowered his voice and kept reassuring him, "Just say what I told you to say, leave everything else to me. You're just an unlucky driver."

"No...no, officer, how about...how about you pretend to be the driver? My...my legs are cramping, I really..." The driver's voice was trembling with tears.

"No way!" Qi Feng refused flatly. "You're from the same village. Even if you're not close, he definitely recognizes your face! If it were me, he wouldn't believe a word, and we'd be exposed immediately!"

He patted the driver on the shoulder, his tone becoming serious: "Don't worry, I'm right next to you. If there's any danger, I'll protect you immediately!"

Seeing the driver's still hesitant look, Qi Feng knew he had to add fuel to the fire.

"Master, listen to me. If we succeed this time, after the case is closed, I'll personally go to the traffic police station to handle the paperwork and get you a legitimate taxi operating license! From now on, you'll be a licensed driver and won't have to worry about driving an unlicensed taxi anymore!"

Taxi license!

The driver suddenly looked up; this thing was worth nearly 20 yuan in the city!

"real?"

"I'll vouch for you with my police ID!"

"Okay, let's do it!"

With the license plate and Qi Feng's promise, the driver finally stopped trembling, gritted his teeth, and was determined to go all out.

In the short span of a few dozen seconds that the two were talking.

A beam of dim yellow motorcycle headlights shone straight towards us from around the corner.

The sound of an engine grew louder as it approached.

coming!

Without waiting for Qi Feng's signal, the driver, emboldened by some unknown source, took a deep breath and voluntarily rushed to the middle of the road. Braving the heavy rain, he raised his hands high and began to shake them vigorously.

"Slow down! Slow down! There's a car ahead! There's a car!"

His voice was slightly distorted due to nervousness, but it sounded particularly loud in the empty rainy night.

The sound of brakes rang out.

The motorcycle stopped a dozen meters away from the black car.

On the bus, Ren Yongshou and Liu Juan were wearing raincoats, with Lin Xiaohao, who was also wearing a small raincoat, sandwiched between them.

"Are you the two tenants from Old Li's house?" Driver Liu San shouted, introducing himself. "It's me! Liu San, the unlicensed taxi driver from the village!"

Under the headlights, Ren Yongshou clearly recognized him and lowered his guard somewhat. He propped up the motorcycle, got off, and asked in confusion, "It's Brother Liu San. What... what's wrong?"

"Hey! Don't even mention it!" Liu San slapped his thigh, his acting skills seemingly divinely inspired at this moment. "I picked up a passenger, thinking I'd take a shortcut to the next city, but who knew it would start raining so hard halfway there? I wasn't paying attention when turning and slipped, and then damn it, my car broke down! What incredibly bad luck!"

At this moment, Liu San was no longer tense at all.

He was an unlucky driver who was full of complaints because his car broke down on the way.

Ren Yongshou's gaze swept over the car blocking the road, then looked at Qi Feng, who was standing to the side with an equally gloomy expression, without any suspicion.

"Do you need any help?" he asked.

"Oh, that's too much trouble for you, brother!" Liu San immediately replied, a grateful expression on his face. "The car's stuck in the middle of the road, and this bend is too dangerous. If another car comes along and doesn't see us, we'll crash into it. Brother, give me a hand, let's push the car to the side of the road together. The mechanic I called will be here in a bit!"

This statement is perfectly reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it.

Ren Yongshou was completely unsuspecting. He turned around and gestured to his wife, Liu Juan, to watch the child, then strode towards the front of the car.

One step, two steps...

Qi Feng's heart began to race; he could even hear his own heartbeat.

Become!

As soon as Ren Yongshou reaches the back of the car, I can take control of him immediately!

Then Brother Stone launched a surprise attack from behind and subdued Liu Juan!

This is the optimal solution!

However, just as Ren Yongshou's foot was about to step over the front of the car, and he was only a few steps away from Qi Feng...

A sudden change has occurred!

Liu Juan sat silently on the back of the motorcycle the whole time!

He shouted suddenly!

"Don't go over there!!"

"They're police officers!"
