Chapter 2734: Chapter 2735: Blood-Stained Long Street
Gerard hung up the phone, his body suddenly shivering, a chill directly rushing to the top of the skull.
He had just finished a call, saying he could catch Lin Yi and retrieve the statue, but unexpectedly, it ended in failure.
Gerard’s gaze turned exceedingly grim.
He had used the Eye of God with the intent of locking onto him and capturing him without alerting anyone!
Yet in the end, such a thing still happened!
Gerard couldn’t think of any other possibility.
He could only attribute it to Lin Yi’s powerful instincts!
His insight and ability to foresee danger were stronger than Gerard imagined!
Buzz—buzz—buzz——
Just then, Gerard’s phone rang again!
Seeing the number on it.
To his surprise, it was Lin Yi calling!
Looking at the ringing phone, Gerard’s expression grew even darker.
He could sense that this was Lin Yi trying to provoke him!
And he had no option to refuse.
Holding the phone, Gerard answered the call but didn’t speak.
“Why do you Aricans always like to break the rules?” Lin Yi said teasingly, “It’s not a good habit.”
“You think you’re so formidable?” Gerard said through gritted teeth.
“Not really formidable, just interesting,” Lin Yi replied with a smile:
“As a fugitive, being able to talk about rules with you is already the biggest concession I can make.”
After a pause, Lin Yi switched tones and continued:
“Of course, you may not believe , but that’s okay. We can play a guessing ga. Can you guess where the next explosion will be? Harvard? The Statue of Liberty? President Mountain? The Empire State Building?”
“Don’t push it too far!”
“Too far? Compared to what you’ve done, this is nothing, right?” Lin Yi said with a laugh:
“I’ve told you everything I need to tell you, as for the choice, it’s up to you.”
After speaking, Lin Yi hung up the phone directly, not giving Gerard a chance to speak.
The office was silent, Gerard could even hear his own breathing and heartbeat.
Although it was just a simple explosion incident, Gerard couldn’t face it calmly as he did last ti.
He knew very well that the nature of the matter was different.
The last ti, he faced mbers of the Guardian Brigade.
But this ti, he was facing Lin Jingzhan’s son, a fugitive who had given up everything.
Like Lin Jingzhan, he had the sa crazed blood running through his veins.
If these people were angered, the world itself might follow their descent.
…
For the next day, Lin Yi was busy deploying his plan.
anwhile, Qiu Yuluo was also tightly engaged in her tasks.
Lin Yi knew he already had a bargaining chip to negotiate with Gerard.
But he didn’t know whether he could bring Ning Che back.
Victory can’t always reverse fortunes, a single defeat could bring irreparable disaster.
Even if he gained a slight advantage, as long as there was any slip-up, no one could end well in this place.
As ti passed and night fell, it draped a charming black veil over the city.
At this mont, Lin Yi was sitting in a café opposite the Huaqi Hotel, drinking coffee.
Opposite him was the location Gerard had designated for the transaction.
From here, he could observe the hotel’s status.
At the mont, the hotel’s doors were shut, and since the afternoon, it was closed to the public.
Lin Yi knew this was for preparations for the night’s transaction.
He checked the ti, there were still five hours until the transaction.
Lin Yi quietly observed, occasionally taking out the map to glance at it.
He discovered that Huaqi Hotel’s location could be described as unique.
Surrounded by wide streets, surveillance facilities were complete, without any cover, it was even hard to find a hiding spot.
Gerard had certainly taken “cautious approach” to the extre.
Squeak—ding-ding-dong—
The café door was pushed open, accompanied by the pleasant sound of a wind chi.
Qiu Yuluo entered wearing a pair of blue washed jeans and a white sweatshirt, sat beside Lin Yi.
“I heard there was an explosion at the Mist Valley Hotel, must have been your doing, right?”
“I didn’t expect them to find my location so quickly, rely preparing a precaution, didn’t expect sothing to actually happen.”
Lin Yi sipped his coffee and said:
“Looks like Gerard is serious this ti. He probably brought out everything he’s got.”
Qiu Yuluo didn’t respond imdiately, instead silently observing Lin Yi’s expression.
Once again, her tense heart rose.
Though they’ve worked together on many missions, every ti she could see strong confidence in his face, even his emotions fluctuated.
This indicated he was confident, or at least had ans to counter.
But this ti, his expression was calm as water, like a blank canvas, without any change.
Qiu Yuluo keenly noticed his internal anxiety.
He’s unafraid to perish here, he’s afraid of failing to rescue Ning Che.
“I’ve notified the embassy, and set up explosive points at six different locations; these are our trump cards.” Qiu Yuluo said:
“The car is ready. Once he’s rescued, we can leave imdiately. There will be embassy personnel to assist us.”
“Good.”
Lin Yi responded simply, without a word more.
From then, his gaze stayed fixed on the Huaqi Restaurant’s entrance, pondering sothing unknowable.
“I also found out that so Congress mbers are displeased with Gerard’s actions, the foreign entities are also adopting a defensive stance, gaining no advantage during this operation; it’s truly a situation of injuring 1000 while harming yourself by 800.”
“I always feel sothing’s not quite right about this, but can’t pinpoint what’s off.”
“Let’s set this matter aside for now; once we rescue Ning Che, we’ll investigate this further.”
“Alright.”
Qiu Yuluo softly replied, sipping her coffee, she said:
“Can you be certain they won’t play tricks and are willing to transact here?”
“I’ve already inford Gerard this is his last chance; if he reneges, we’ll act directly.” Lin Yi said.
Qiu Yuluo’s body shuddered, knowing Lin Yi’s patience was at its breaking point.
Any provocative action would make him completely snap!
Approaching midnight, the café closed.
Lin Yi and Qiu Yuluo then left, observing the hotel in darkness like an abandoned building.
However, both knew inside the hotel was far from the calm exterior.
Around 1 a.m., about twenty police cars appeared on the streets.
A large group of ard personnel sealed off all streets, missing no blind spots.
A cold and murderous atmosphere perated the streets.
On this ordinary night, soone had to orchestrate the long stretch of street.
