Sizzle...
Xiao Jiu's voice came through the walkie-talkie:
"The city exits are completely blocked, and all large vehicles must be inspected... It's very strict! There's no hiding..."
:"grass..."
Gui Ba couldn't help but curse under his breath, then picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "Second Brother... what do we do...?"
Inside the carriage, Gui Er said, "Let Xiao Jiu figure out how to leave Songjiang herself. Gui Ba, take the back roads... quick..."
"We don't have much time left. In this situation, a city-wide search would mobilize the entire city's surveillance system. A vehicle this big can't hide anywhere; we must leave as soon as possible..."
Oni-8: "Understood!"
He drove the car onto a side road: that road was a route he had planned in advance, but it was difficult to travel and was kept as a backup plan. For them, leaving Songjiang would be a way to escape, and taking the main road was obviously the fastest way.
But now it's a completely unavoidable situation!
.....
On the other side.
Xiao Jiu's lips twitched as he heard the words telling him to leave: "Damn it! These people used me as bait first, then made me scout ahead, and if something really happens, they won't care about me... Damn it..." But although he was indignant, his expression was much more relaxed.
He was truly stunned by the situation today. The Black Dragon Group's large-scale manhunt was simply appalling. He couldn't imagine what would happen if he were caught by the Black Dragon Group. Now, getting away from the Ghost Guards was actually getting away from danger.
From behind, a taxi driver leaned out and asked, "Hey bro! Finished your call? Want a ride...?"
Xiao Jiu: "Let's go..."
He put away his walkie-talkie and got back into the taxi, saying to the driver, "Take me straight out of the city to the neighboring city. My company suddenly transferred me there on a business trip. It's so hard to make money these days..."
As the driver drove off, he chatted casually: "Making money is hard, bro! Let me tell you: making money depends on the method. Don't underestimate me just because I drive a taxi; I earn quite a bit. You can't just rely on your main job; you need to earn extra money on the side..."
Xiao Jiu: "Why would I need to earn extra money..."
The driver said, "There are many! Not to mention anything else: just asking people for recommendations on good places to visit will cost at least a hundred or so yuan. Then there are those asking for information, and I charge extra for picking up out-of-town tourists at the train station... and..." He rattled off seven or eight ways to make money besides soliciting passengers.
Xiao Jiu: "Big brother is awesome... I never imagined there were so many intricacies involved..."
Driver: "You have to find the right path! Otherwise, you'll be destined for a life of hardship. If you want to earn money steadily in your life, you'll never earn much. Remember: making money boils down to two words:"
[opportunity]
If you seize a major opportunity in life, you can earn enough money in one go to support you for half your life.
Xiao Jiu: "Big brother...you're right..."
Driver: "You agree, don't you..."
Xiao Jiu: "I guess so!"
As he approached the city gate, his expression softened, and he smiled, saying, "But opportunities are hard to come by, aren't they? I wonder when I'll find one? When will I truly achieve financial freedom..."
Driver: "You might encounter this for a lifetime, or it might happen in an instant! You must seize the opportunity!"
In an instant?
Before Xiao Jiu could ask any questions, the driver stepped on the gas and drove the car up to several Black Dragon officers who were checking vehicles.
Bang!
He jumped out of the car and shouted:
"Boss! I'm reporting this!!!"
Xiao Jiu: (◎-◎;)
Black Dragon personnel: (・・)(´･д･`)
The team leader in charge was from Lunan. He looked at the driver and asked, "What are you reporting?"
The driver pointed at Xiao Jiu inside the car: "I reported him as a suspect. This guy is suspicious. Ever since he got in the car, he's been looking around constantly towards the checkpoint, and he's carrying a walkie-talkie. Later, he even used the walkie-talkie to report something to someone behind my back..."
"He even insisted that I drag him out of the city! This person is definitely suspicious; he might be the one you're looking for."
He spoke with absolute certainty.
First, he genuinely felt that Xiao Jiu was suspicious, acting furtively, and although she pretended to be normal, something was definitely off.
Secondly: Even if we are really wrong or wronged, so what! At worst, we'll offend that person, so what!
He's gambling!
The gamble failed: at most, the passenger will curse at you, saying you're crazy for not paying my fare.
If he bets right: he will rise to prominence, receive millions in rewards, and have the Black Dragon's favor.
Only a fool wouldn't gamble!
Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is absolutely rare and hard to come by; how could he not seize it when he encountered it?
Just do it...
The driver pointed at Xiao Jiu and emphasized again, "He...! Absolutely! Has a problem! Investigate him!!!"
Xiao Jiu: »ू(͒ˑ•᷄͡ꇵ͒•᷅͒)ू?!
no?
I treated you like an older brother? You treated me like a sacrifice! So you were talking to me about opportunities? Seizing opportunities? And now I'm the opportunity, I'm the chance?
Are you kidding me?
Did they sell me out right away?
You're really good at catching people, aren't you?!
now.
Xiao Jiu, though inwardly anxious, maintained a calm demeanor and said, "Brother, are you out of your mind? What's wrong with me carrying a walkie-talkie? I'm just selling these things, why would I act all mysterious? Are you crazy for money? Damn it... do you want a beating...?"
He pretended to be very angry and went up to confront the driver.
The driver hid behind Lu Nan.
Xiao Jiu looked at Lu Nan and said, "Hey, Black Dragon, listen to me: what he said is complete nonsense. I have no grudge against Wei Biao, why would I kidnap him..."
Wei Biao!
Lu Nan: "How do you know Brother Si Jiu's name...?"
Xiao Jiu: "Um... I live near the Black Dragon Group. I heard about it from a friend... He also told me it's a secret and I can't talk about it..."
Lu Nan: "Where do you live...?"
Xiao Jiu: "Longtang Street..."
Lu Nan: "Have you ever tried the authentic Northeastern Yunnan Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles on that street...?"
Xiao Jiu: "I've tried it...it tastes pretty good..."
Lu Nan: "Yeah... the taste is... not bad..." He grabbed Xiao Jiu and pinned him to the ground: "That road doesn't have Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles, it has authentic Northeastern Anhui Banmian! You can't even speak Northeastern dialect properly, and... Brother Si Jiu's name is no secret, I just blew you away."
Xiao Jiu: "You bombed me...you..."
Lu Nan: "It seems you really are involved in the kidnapping case..."
Xiao Jiu: "You bombed me..."
Lu Nan: "As expected, you really do have connections..."
Xiao Jiu: "..."
He shut up and stopped talking.
The driver stared wide-eyed, never expecting that the person he had reported was actually problematic.
Then...wouldn't that mean they're about to strike it rich?!
He stepped forward and rubbed his hands together, saying to Lu Nan, "Um... Boss, this... the bounty warrant!"
Lu Nan: "I won't hold you responsible! You guys write this down." Then he put Xiao Jiu into his car.
At the same time, he quickly gave the order:
"Report this situation to Brother Jiang...Quickly!"
