Chapter 6: Entering the game alone, infiltrating the inner circle, and delivering a fatal question.
The middle-aged man cursed Lin Yaozu eight hundred times in his heart, wishing he could immediately pull out a knife and stab that bastard to death.
But outwardly, they still maintain a forced smile and a facade of enthusiasm.
"Brother, I was in a rush this time and didn't get a nice car beforehand, so we'll just have to make do."
As he spoke, he took the initiative to push and shove, trying to stuff Lin Yaozu into the car.
At the same time, the seven or eight henchmen also silently surrounded them.
"Yes, yes, Grandpa! Get in the car!"
"This car can hold a lot! I made it especially for this purpose."
"Get on the bus! Get on the bus now!"
"..."
The crowd echoed their agreement as they moved closer.
Clearly, this situation is like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—it's all ill-intentioned.
If Lin Yaozu hadn't tricked these people before, it might not have been so obvious.
But after that rip-off at checkout, they were clearly at their limit.
On the other hand, Lin Yaozu was fully aware of this.
Although these people had ill intentions, he wasn't a very good person either.
Everyone was just putting on an act, being hypocritical and evasive.
Ultimately, who is the hunter and who is the prey depends on who has the better skills.
The next instant, Lin Yaozu reached out and opened the passenger door, then scurried in.
Immediately afterward, before anyone could speak, he rolled down the car window and said with a smile.
"Hey bro, get in the car!"
Middle-aged man: "...No...this...I...the passenger seat...is mine..."
After stammering for a while, seeing that Lin Yaozu had no intention of giving up his seat, the middle-aged man angrily shouted to those around him.
"Damn it! You bunch of little brats! What are you standing there for? Get in the car! Si'er, listen to my instructions and start the car right now!"
Upon hearing this, the henchmen quickly got to work, and also shoved their boss into the back of the car.
His nephew, Gao Xiaosi, also awkwardly climbed into the driver's seat and started getting busy.
Five minutes... ten minutes... fifteen minutes later...
In the back seat of the car, seven or eight people were crammed together like sardines in a can. The middle-aged man's face was contorted, and veins were faintly bulging on his forehead.
"You little idiot! Why aren't you done yet? If you don't get it done soon, I'll kill you!"
In the passenger seat, Lin Yaozu puffed on a cigarette while wearing a mocking expression.
"Brother, look how poor you guys are! You even stole this beat-up car."
"Since you're going to steal them anyway, why not get some nicer cars?"
"That's so damn undignified!"
At this point, he glanced at Gao Xiaosi, who was busy working in the driver's seat.
"This...it can't be that only garbage trucks like this can handle it! Other vehicles simply can't do it!"
"No, is their business acumen really that bad?"
In the back seat of the car, the middle-aged man's face alternated between pale and dark.
This wave of mockery was both deadly and psychologically damaging, yet he was powerless to refute it.
After all, facts speak louder than words.
The car couldn't start for fifteen minutes, which was really embarrassing.
At this moment, it's like Garen whispering, silent yet breaking down defenses.
After another three to five minutes, with great effort, Gao Xiaosi finally started the broken car.
"Second Uncle, it's on! The car's on!"
The middle-aged man replied through gritted teeth.
"I've said it countless times, when you're at work, you should refer to your job title."
"Um...boss...the car's started...which way to go?"
"Damn it, don't you know where we are? Go to where we're staying! Master Jin is waiting! Hurry up!"
"Alright!"
In the blink of an eye, the car sputtered to a halt and began to drive leisurely towards the outskirts of the city.
Lin Yaozu, meanwhile, was making plans in his mind.
Master Jin?
never heard of that!
But clearly, this is a big fish, perhaps the real controller of this thief gang.
Although following them to their lair was somewhat like walking into a trap, with the cheat code already activated, what was there to be afraid of?
At the same time.
Linhai City, Qinghu District Police Station, meeting room.
On the stage, the leader delivered a passionate speech with a solemn and serious expression.
"...Comrades, this thief is very likely a member of a roving theft gang. We must get him to talk as soon as possible, otherwise, if we make any noise over there, they might continue their escape..."
"...The higher authorities issued a special letter, requiring the entire Linhai City police force to cooperate fully and ensure that this gang of thieves, who had committed numerous crimes across eight provinces, is wiped out in one fell swoop..."
Meanwhile, many police officers below the stage also appeared solemn, their brows furrowed.
The letter from higher authorities confirmed the seriousness of the situation.
The fact that this criminal organization has been able to commit crimes across eight provinces without being caught demonstrates its extremely high level of vigilance.
Half an hour later, the emergency meeting ended, and the police officers quickly took charge of their respective duties and began the operation.
On the way, Officer Liu couldn't contain his excitement.
"Master, if we capture this group, do you think we can get a team commendation, or even a third-class merit award?"
Not far away, Old Zhao frowned and shook his head.
"Maybe! But catching them will be incredibly difficult! Otherwise, they wouldn't have ended up here!"
"However, it depends on whether we can get the suspect to talk in a short time. If we can do it quickly enough, the chances of success are still very high."
……
Outside an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs of Linhai.
"Come in, come in... Master Jin said we can just go straight in!"
The dilapidated car drove in, and two people pulled open the roller shutter door. Outside, there were two more spies specifically tasked with keeping watch.
Clearly, this group managed to evade capture across eight provinces, so they must be quite capable.
A moment later, everyone got out of the car, and the middle-aged man quickly stretched his body a couple of times.
He was squeezed pretty much in the car.
Normally, middle-aged people sit in the passenger seat and have never experienced such a cramped feeling.
This trip has only fueled his anger towards Lin Yaozu even more.
Meanwhile, the passenger door opened, and Lin Yaozu got out of the car with an air of nonchalance, casually lighting a cigarette for himself.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man's face turned even uglier.
You're a reincarnation of a chimney spirit!
One after another on the bus, and they don't stop even after you get off?
Just then, a burly man pushed a wheelchair over, and sitting in it was an elderly man with white hair, kind eyes, and a smile on his face.
He was twirling two walnuts in his hand, spinning them back and forth.
On the surface, it looks ordinary, like the old man next door taking a stroll.
The middle-aged man hurriedly went to greet him, fawning like a dog seeing a bone.
"Master Jin, this is the expert I mentioned on the phone before. His professional skills are truly amazing, no exaggeration..."
However, before he could finish speaking, the old man's smile vanished, his eyes filled with coldness and probing. He slightly turned his head and gave a look.
Immediately, someone jumped out and arrogantly started to mock him.
"Gao Laoqi, you good-for-nothing, are you out of your mind? You actually brought a ghost back on your own initiative!"
As he spoke, he moved closer to Lin Yaozu with a cold expression, questioning him word by word while staring intently at him.
"Think you've done a great job as an undercover agent? You're full of flaws! We've already figured you out!"
In an instant, the atmosphere became as if plunged into an ice cave, and the scene fell into dead silence.
