I'm in the Ark, a player.

But he was still a step too slow.

The countdown ended just as his fingertips touched the bomb casing.

Done!

The only thought, accompanied by fear, gradually crept up my body. A cold sensation spread from my fingertips to my entire body, as if I had fallen into an ice cellar!

Then, the bomb made the sound of a casino slot machine winning the jackpot.

More accurately, someone is imitating the sound of a slot machine winning.

"Clang clang clang clang clang—!!!"

Then, Lappland's maniacal laughter came from inside the bomb.

"Hahaha, were you scared?!"

The police officer was stunned.

Prank...?

Was the bomb fake?

The officer turned to look at the muscle car he had just chased, but it was nowhere to be seen.

He then turned to look at the fake bomb.

Is this... a provocation from the robbers?

Never mind.

Let's submit the evidence first.

.......

On the other side, Qin Tianling and his group were still speeding, with more and more police cars following behind.

The road ahead forked into two, divided by a row of buildings.

Texas jerked the steering wheel, causing the car to tilt to the right. The safe trailing behind it swung out in a huge arc due to inertia and veered into the right lane.

Once the vehicle had completely entered the right-hand side road, the intercom inside the car lit up, and Chen Huijie's voice came through it.

"Police cars have bypassed you at the fork in the road to your left! Take the right!"

"No, it's probably a network or communication issue; Officer Chen's reporting is delayed!"

Luckily, we chose a road without police support.

"But if this continues, we'll inevitably run into the Guard Bureau's vehicles sooner or later!"

Exusiai sensed that things were starting to go wrong.

In this current state of dragging a large safe, if it is intercepted head-on, not only will there be no room for evasion, but it may also be hit by the safe being dragged from behind!

"Oh no, another fork in the road!"

Looking at the crossroads ahead and the walkie-talkie that hadn't started working, Exusiai felt that things were really starting to get bad.

They can't slow down in their current state.

But if you choose randomly, it would be bad if you ran into a Guard Bureau vehicle head-on!

Just then, Qin Tianling's voice came from above.

"Qsave!.............Turn right!"

Seeing the intersection getting closer and closer, Texas, in the driver's seat, didn't think much and turned directly, dragging the safe into the right-hand road.

At the same time, Chen Huijie's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"There are Guard Bureau personnel rushing this way from the front and left. Turn right!"

Exusiai looked at the roof of the car in disbelief.

How did Qin Tianling find out?

Before I could think any further, the next fork in the road came right up!

Qsave!

The fork in the road to the left!

Qsave!

Go straight!

Qsave!

Turn right!

Under Qin Tianling's command, they encountered absolutely no Guard Bureau vehicles coming from the front along the way.

Every single time, it happened to be the road condition that Chen Huijie hadn't reported yet, and every single time, it happened to be the road without police support!

Exusiai couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Why does Qin Tianling always seem to know where police support will be?

He clearly didn't seem like Chen Huijie, capable of obtaining information from within the Guard Bureau.

If I had to put it into words, his behavior was like... like he could foresee the future!

Exusiai suddenly understood why Officer Chen trusted Qin Tianling so much.

Anyone would trust someone who can step in and stabilize the situation when a plan has flaws!

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the building ahead of them,

Inspector Luo was setting up a military-grade crossbow sniper rifle, aiming at the oncoming car through the scope.

"Hmph, you've already fallen into a trap!"

Vehicles following them should move to the left or right sides of the road, and not drive directly behind the large safe!

Police Inspector Luo led the way.

He knew they had information from within the Royal Guard, so they would definitely choose to avoid routes surrounded by Royal Guard police.

He happened to take over the command of the Guard Bureau on site, and was able to use the police force to force them onto the road where he was lying in ambush, a straight road, and he was able to block the road from there!

He predicted this group of people!

A moment later, his scope locked onto Qin Tianling, who was sitting on the roof of the car.

He frowned slightly and slammed his fist on the ground.

Inspector Luo had no intention of aiming at anyone, but for some reason, seeing that guy made him want to ask him for something.

Damn it, he shouldn't have paid attention to this guy.

The scope was moved away from Qin Tianling.

They aimed at the muscle car and pulled on the safety cable behind it.

Admittedly, he should have aimed at people.

You should aim for the person in the driver's seat or the tires.

One crossbow bolt would definitely make the vehicle lose control.

But if they do that, the large safe behind them will run over them like a steel coil, and they will all basically die.

—If we don't keep her alive, how can we put Chen Huijie in prison?

Even if they can't catch these people and send Chen Huijie to prison, just having the photos of her accepting bribes in the safe would give the Anchor River Gang leverage over her, enough to win the case.

Although it was only a small win, Chen Huijie didn't win in this way!

Secure your small wins first, and then pursue bigger wins!

Those robbers who were released will eventually become Chen Huijie's weakness, and things will still develop in my favor!

Not killing the robbers is the best choice!

Could Inspector Luo have hit this target, which was smaller than a person, while the other vehicle was traveling at high speed?

The answer is yes!

If he didn't have some real ability, how could he have gotten to where he is today!

He was the top sniper in the Guard Bureau before!

The trigger was pulled, and the sniper crossbow bolt shot out, whistling through the air and striking the steel cable behind the muscle car.

The steel cable snapped instantly!

The taut metal cable snapped and sprang back, separating the massive safe from the muscle car, which then accelerated dramatically.

The safe, having lost its pulling force, slowed down considerably and came to a complete stop after sliding a short distance.

We succeeded!!!

Seeing this scene before him, Inspector Luo's lips unconsciously curled up, and the joy in his heart welled up uncontrollably.

"I'll check the safe and set up warning signs. You guys keep your eyes on these lawless robbers and make sure they're brought to justice!"

Humming a little tune, Inspector Luo arrived near the safe as soon as possible.

But he noticed something was wrong as soon as he arrived.

Why does this huge safe, which is almost two meters tall, look like it's not locked?

Inspector Luo skillfully spun the dial on the safe, and without entering a password, the dial spun several times without any resistance in his hands!

He then opened the safe.

The safe was empty; there was nothing inside.

The brand-new plastic film hadn't even been removed yet.

What?! The safe is fake?!

Inspector Luo's pupils contracted sharply at that moment; his previous joy vanished instantly.

He could hardly believe what he was seeing; his mind was buzzing.

Then, in an instant, he realized something!

From the very beginning, what they were dragging wasn't a real safe!

He claimed to have orchestrated everything, but in reality, he was the one who was completely fooled!

"The safe deposit box is fake! We've all been fooled! All officers, stop chasing the robbers and immediately go back to the bank to investigate and review the surveillance footage!"

He grabbed the walkie-talkie and started yelling.

"All the police officers?"

"all!"

"Then aren't we just going to let this car get away?!"

Are you an idiot!?

This is clearly just a diversionary tactic. If we actually chase after them, we'll only be distracted and miss the real safe and where they moved the contents! They must have other accomplices!

"But we can't just stand by and watch them leave!"

"I don't care about anything else, find the safe they switched!"

If the higher-ups blame me, I'll take the fall; the worst that can happen is a demotion.

But the safe must be kept safe!

"Go find it immediately, this is my order as the police inspector!"

Police Inspector Luo's eyes were bloodshot with rage.

He just can't understand it!

He just can't understand it!

Damn it, where the hell did they hide the safe?!

Such a big safe!

so big!
