The man suddenly became shaky, then pulled out a wallet from his suit pocket.
Bai Ye grinned, took the wallet, tossed it onto the passenger seat, then opened the car door and dragged the man out, dropping him onto the ground.
As the man sat on the ground, he happened to see two police officers rushing over from the intersection. He immediately ran towards them, shouting, "Help, help, this guy is a robber!"
Seeing the AK47 in Bai Ye's hand, the two police officers immediately drew their guns, but...
Bai Ye was faster!
Bai Ye directly pulled the trigger.
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop...
As the gunshots rang out, a spray of blood bloomed from the man's back as he ran forward, and he fell into a pool of blood.
Bai Ye casually slid into the car, stepped on the gas, and sped away.
As Bai Ye's car sped past them, the two police officers quickly emerged and opened fire, but only managed to hit the trunk. Soon, Bai Ye made a sharp turn at the corner and quickly disappeared from the police officers' sight.
Fifteen minutes later, Bai Ye drove back to the original intersection, parked the car by the roadside, and picked up the man's wallet.
"A latte, please!"
Bai Ye walked into a roadside coffee shop, ordered a coffee, and sat under the umbrella.
Not long after, while Bai Ye was only halfway through his coffee, Jin Sha plopped down in front of him.
Jin Sha panted, "You got here first?"
"Borrowed a car," Bai Ye gestured to the side, then looked at the item in Jin Sha's hand and asked, "Did you get the stuff?"
Jin Sha nodded, "That helicopter didn't explode, so the stuff is still there. However, I don't know if it was damaged during the crash."
"We'll know if we try," Bai Ye stood up and said, "Let's go."
Jin Sha grumbled, "Hey, at least get me a coffee too."
Bai Ye pulled out a bill and handed it to Jin Sha, saying, "Two cups, to go!"
Bai Ye quickly got into the car, connected the radio, fiddled with it for a while, and soon a voice came through.
"The vehicle is heading towards Huaer East Street. Currently at the second intersection."
"The vehicle is turning left, turning left. Do you hear me? The target vehicle is turning left, entering Lix Avenue from Huaer East Street. Please set up a roadblock immediately."
"Target vehicle spotted, pursuing. Damn it, someone has blocked the intersection with a truck."
"A robbery occurred at Ruixin Jewelry Store at 118 Beishawan. Someone smashed the counter with a gun and stole a necklace and diamond rings."
"A robbery occurred on Eller Street. An Asian man robbed a purple Mustang and shot a man around forty years old. The perpetrator is armed with an AK47 assault rifle and is extremely dangerous. The vehicle's license plate number is..."
"Why hasn't backup arrived yet? The target vehicle is about to enter Lix Avenue, roadblock, where is the roadblock!"
...
Jin Sha opened the car door, listened to the sounds on the radio, and handed a cup of coffee to Bai Ye.
Closing the car door, Bai Ye said, "You want to use the police channel to determine Alex's movements?"
Bai Ye continued, "Does that big drug lord think he can escape just by stealing a car? Too naive. He'll definitely be caught. However, he can't escape on his own, but there are many extra factors that can change the outcome."
Jin Sha nodded, "Chosen ones?"
"We are certainly one of the extra factors," Bai Ye smiled, "but not the only one."
Jin Sha looked confused, "What else?"
Bai Ye replied, "The gangs!"
...
"The target vehicle has crashed into the roadblock, and we have the situation under control."
"The target has been apprehended, proceed with the escort immediately."
"Backup, we need backup! There are many armed thugs shooting at us, it's the Reis family, the gangs are involved!"
As if to confirm Bai Ye's words, the radio soon crackled again, followed by the sound of gunfire, and a fierce gun battle began.
Jin Sha asked, "What's our next strategy?"
Bai Ye replied, "No hurry, I need to confirm some things first."
What did Bai Ye need to confirm?
The answer was: the future trajectory!
Bai Ye had participated in this restricted area in his previous life, so he knew many things.
For instance, some police officers would hijack the escort vehicle for the one hundred million yuan prize, and he knew the police would dispatch a helicopter to escort Alex from the air. That's why Bai Ye could make judgments and act in advance.
However, the future is full of uncertainty; the unpredictable is called the future.
This means...
Bai Ye's memory and the current situation might not always align. Therefore, the so-called future trajectory is the current situation and whether it can overlap with Bai Ye's memory.
And if it can overlap, Bai Ye can be one step ahead!
"The restricted area this time is called 'Chaos City'," Bai Ye said, "What level of chaos is it? Just the Chosen Ones fighting each other is far from enough. So, this is a multi-faction battle. The police, the Chosen Ones, the gangs, Alex, as a big drug lord, also has his subordinates, and the villains who are after the hundred million. These individuals act alone but are not without their skills. Oh, and the police can actually be divided into two factions."
Jin Sha asked, "There are traitors?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Bai Ye smiled, "Why risk your life for such a meager salary? But with a hundred million, it's different!"
Bai Ye said this while starting the car.
"The first step is complete!" Bai Ye declared, "We can begin the operation."
The first step was absolutely crucial: preventing Alex from being sent to prison, as it would be too troublesome to break him out later.
And now, the Reis family gang had succeeded in rescuing Alex and was in the process of withdrawing.
Simultaneously, for Bai Ye, there was another piece of good news: the extra factors that would interfere with the future trajectory had not appeared.
The Chosen Ones had not made a move, neither had Alex's subordinates, nor the villains lurking in the city.
So far, the progression was exactly the same as in Bai Ye's memory.
Given this, Bai Ye felt he could do something.
Soon, Bai Ye drove through the city and entered the slums, where he parked the car by an alley piled with garbage.
Jin Sha followed Bai Ye, her eyes questioning the current situation.
Bai Ye approached an old iron gate, knocked forcefully, and then said to Jin Sha, "This is an underground bar run by the Reis family. Alex will be brought here soon."
