The walkie-talkie crackled with a harsh noise, “Reporting to the captain, currently no police identities or related backgrounds have been found inside the bank.
Report complete.”
“Understood.
Over.”
Song Qian pressed on her slightly aching temples.
Things seemed to have become more complicated.
The convoy was impressive, led by a black Toyota, followed by a grand procession of police cars.
“Ye Tian, do you know him?” Tang Su’s hands were tied behind her with tape, and she asked with some difficulty.
Ye Tian: “!@#$%…&*”
Tang Su frowned, “Are you okay, what are you saying…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the White-bearded Old Man smashed the butt of his gun on the back of Tang Su’s head, knocking her unconscious.
“Where are we going now?” White Beard asked coldly.
“Where can we go?
Get on the highway first, then head for the hills.”
“What about the cars behind us?”
Ye Tian glanced at the police cars in the rearview mirror above his head and said indifferently, “Shake them off.”
A dramatic scene ensued once more; the Toyota sped along the highway leaving the police cars far behind.
The blaring sirens sounded like direct mockery.
Song Qian’s delicate fists struck hard against the car window, causing a pang of distress in her team members.
Meanwhile, the two individuals in the Toyota were leisurely cruising along the highway.
It was evident that White Beard was still shaken by Ye Tian’s driving.
The sweat on his palms dried on his pants, only to form another damp patch.
“You…
are very impressive.”
“Heh, you guys are even more impressive, daring to rob a bank with just three people,” Ye Tian glanced at White Beard in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, “Though, too bad you didn’t manage to take anything.”
“The money isn’t important, what matters is that we’ve achieved our objective,” White Beard proclaimed with unmistakeable pride, peered at Ye Tian, and continued, “Brother, I told you, you’re no ordinary guy.
I had thought about getting rid of you since having someone like you in Huaxia isn’t good news for our organization, the Blood Wolf Alliance.
Luckily you said our code word, otherwise, it would have been a misunderstanding.”
Ye Tian chuckled, “In Huaxia, there are many like me.”
“No, no, no, the people of Huaxia have been comfortable for too long.
Their bones are filled with weak blood; sooner or later, they will be devoured.” The face in the mirror was dead serious, as if declaring something of grave importance.
Ye Tian neither agreed nor disagreed, merely shrugged and asked, “So how did you figure out I’m not simple?”
“Ha ha, friend, you’re testing me.”
“I just want to hear it from you.”
White Beard laid his double-barreled shotgun across his knees, gazed ahead as if steadying his emotions, then slowly said, “It’s your aura.
You have a kind of aura I sensed.”
Ye Tian, steering the wheel to turn a corner, looked up at the face in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, “That’s a mysterious thing, I don’t quite get it.”
“You’re right, aura is a mysterious thing.
Let’s not talk about that.
I want to ask you, did you realize it was us from the beginning?
Otherwise, why would you move that little girl away from us?”
“Not exactly realized, just felt you guys were a bit odd.”
“What was odd about us?”
“Wearing scarves in the middle of summer, isn’t that strange?
Though, I understand, nowadays many people are into performance art.
But you’re all elderly men and women in your sixties and seventies, yet the skin on your hands is as tender as a youth’s, which I couldn’t comprehend.”
White Beard was startled, “We were wearing gloves though.”
“Your partner’s left middle finger had a tiny hole, looks like it was burned by cigarette ash.”
“It’s just because of that small hole?”
Ye Tian nodded, “Can’t help it, you know, in our line of work we have our heads on the line every day.
Without being careful, you wouldn’t even know how you died.” Another corner lay ahead, and after turning, there was the road leading up the mountain.
“You’re too frightening, friend.
If you were to rise within the organization, you’d definitely be valued.
I can guarantee that in three years, your name will be known internationally.
Of course, if you can quit the habit of saving kids.”
“Forget it, I’m perfectly fine here.
Hey, what’s your mission this time?
It can’t be just robbing a bank, can it?”
Hearing this, White Beard became interested and asked, “According to the rules, I shouldn’t tell you, but I’m curious to hear your guess.
If you’re right, I still won’t…”
“I won’t tell you,” Ye Tian chimed in with White Beard’s unfinished sentence, eliciting a loud laugh from White Beard.
“First, the drawback of three people robbing a bank is insufficient manpower, and shoddy weapons, so you must have planned carefully in advance.
This is evident from your disguises and voice modulation.
Also, when the robbery failed, your first reaction wasn’t to run but to hide in a blind spot and hold on.
So I think your aim may not be money but to escalate the situation.
Subsequent events proved I was right.”
“What happened afterward?”
“My friend, have you seen those robbery scenes in movies?
You made a big mistake.
If I were you, to cover my real intentions, I would make demands the police can’t meet, like preparing a billion in cash, or a helicopter.
But you didn’t; you made no demands whatsoever, and when leaving the bank, you didn’t even take the stolen money.
Even I feel bad for that loss for you.” Ye Tian smacked his lips as if in regret.
White Beard’s tone took on a chilling edge, “So did you figure out our real aim?”
“I have a guess.
But I’m not sure if it’s right.”
“Let’s hear it.”
“The trick of creating a diversion and rescuing by attacking from the rear – that’s a Huaxia strategy, so naturally, I understand its trickery better than you.
I must say, I admire you; you take the role of cannon fodder with such a heroic flavor.
This bank robbery crime scene is but a lure.
Theoretically, whether you succeeded or failed, you were successful, because your primary goal was to divert police attention.
And the diversion was because you had another target to complete, here in this city,” Ye Tian’s gaze was playful as he chuckled, “Ah, risking the small for the bigger game, you guys played well.
Sorry to say, you’re busted.
Whoa!
Careful there, I don’t believe you can act faster than me.”
“Exactly who are you?” White Beard’s right hand grasped the gunstock but refrained from raising it due to Ye Tian’s words, causing some hesitation.
Looking at that child-like grin, White Beard seemed to suddenly remember something and abruptly asked, “Is your last name Ye?”
