Chapter 9 test passed, 10 of Spades
On the expressway, engines roared as three trucks sped along at speeds far exceeding those of other vehicles, like three giant beasts.
Several armored off-road vehicles followed closely behind.
Gunfire continued, but without exception, the shots only hit the vehicle.
During the tense chase, the truck drove into the dock.
An off-road vehicle came in pursuit. Inside the lead vehicle, a member of the action team crawled out from the roof and disappeared as he leaped onto it.
A cargo ship was moored at the dock, and three trucks drove straight through the boarding ramps that had been set up beforehand and into the ship's hold.
A figure suddenly appeared in the control room and knocked two crew members unconscious.
The cargo ships that were supposed to leave the dock were forced to remain stationary.
As the brakes screech, before the SUVs had even come to a complete stop, a dozen special operations team members dressed in SOT combat uniforms eagerly jumped out of the vehicles and rushed into the ship's cabin.
Immediately, the roar of the motorcycle engine suddenly rang out.
"Shit!"
The two team members who remained outside immediately reacted. One of them jumped into the vehicle, while the other, a tall, thin male team member, cursed and shouted, "Retreat! Retreat now!"
The team members, wearing holographic masks, immediately exited the cabin.
The first member of the teleportation ability team to arrive shook the timer device in his hand. If he hadn't arrived first and disarmed the device in advance, the cargo ship would have exploded while the criminals were escaping on motorcycles.
All team members boarded the vehicle. Although they knew that the speed of the explosion-proof off-road vehicle could not keep up with the more maneuverable motorcycle, no one would give up at this moment.
The tall, thin man immediately reported the situation to the commander: "Boss, smoke grenades!"
Cao Tengfei, on the other end of the communication device, was flying rapidly over Wuzhou Avenue. He was not surprised at all by this result.
Because Lin Jun, the head of the counter-terrorism team transferred from Longjun General Bureau, had already given clear instructions beforehand.
If the truck were to escape to the dock, boats would certainly be arranged to meet it. If the boats set off immediately, it would mean that it was merely a tactic to distract the pursuers.
"Boss, the signal is about 500 meters ahead."
Cao Tengfei raised his hand and lightly touched the mask, which instantly turned transparent from its original black color.
Traffic was heavy on Wuzhou Avenue, including more than a dozen trucks. Luo Ji, a young team member at the control panel, had just transmitted all the photos of the trucks he had taken inside the academy to his holographic mask.
However, among the dozen or so trucks below, two had a 90% similarity in appearance.
Cao Tengfei fixed his gaze on the two trucks, and five seconds later, Luo Ji reported again.
"exclude"
Cao Tengfei accelerated and flew forward for more than a hundred meters before finally spotting a few more trucks. However, without exception, they were all ruled out.
Qi Te's phone was stuck at the back of the truck, which was moving at high speed and in heavy traffic, making it impossible to pinpoint the location accurately.
However, Cao Tengfei can use a holographic mask to locate and observe objects, pinpointing the signal source. Once he determines which car it is, things will be much easier.
"Found it, that EMS vehicle!"
Cao Tengfei increased his altitude, maintaining a distance of within 100 meters from the car, and flew at a constant speed.
......................
Inside the EMS compartment, a black supercar was parked.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Nanshan removed half of his face mask, and the appearance of the upper half of his face instantly changed.
This is his true appearance; he is about thirty years old and can be described as handsome, but his eyes are full of coldness and ruthlessness.
The woman in the driver's seat also removed her wig and combat uniform, revealing a very tight black leather outfit.
The woman opened the completely transparent tablet, operated it for a while, and then said with a grim expression, "We've been located!"
While escaping the academy under the cover of hired mercenaries, the woman manipulated the camouflage projection devices installed around the vehicle as an EMS van while passing through a tunnel.
After Luo tracked down the cell phone signal stuck at the back of the truck, he sent the message to Cao Tengfei. However, by the time they caught up, the truck had already blended perfectly into the traffic, making it difficult to lock onto the target in a short time.
"Let's give those mad dogs from the Investigation Bureau a little surprise."
Data immediately started flowing from the woman's prosthetic eye in her left eye socket. Brain-computer interface was used to hack into the intelligent driving system of a neighboring vehicle.
Several cars on either side of EMS suddenly accelerated and crashed into the front. Immediately afterwards, several more cars in front and behind lost control.
The watch vibrated, and Nanshan raised his hand to tap it.
A line of small text appeared on the holographic projection: "Test passed, welcome to the Card Club."
After the small text disappeared, another image appeared.
A card, the 10 of spades.
"Bingo!"
Nanshan let out a cheer, as if he wasn't being chased at all, and said excitedly, "I start at 10, and after completing two more tasks, I can advance to Jack!"
"Mina, we'll soon no longer be federal fugitives."
The woman named Mina, her alluring face also beaming with smiles, quickly frowned and said, "Nanshan, we took such a big risk and spent fifty Newton dollars, was it really worth it?"
One Newt is currently worth 700,000 Bonuses, so fifty Newts would be worth 35 million.
"certainly!"
Nanshan said smugly, "The power of the Card Club far exceeds your imagination!"
Mina said nothing more and used her brain-computer interface to control the supercar system and start the engine.
The truck's cargo door suddenly opened, and several mini drones flew out first, launching smoke grenades and soft alloy traps in the direction Cao Tengfei was swooping down from.
As the smoke exploded, the sports car detached from the cabin and roared away on the chaotic Wuzhou Avenue.
Wherever it went, all the surrounding vehicles went out of control, like wild horses running amok...
.....................
Inside the Ocean University campus, ambulances carrying the injured were rushed to the nearest hospitals.
Cao Tengfei returned to the command vehicle with an icy expression, reeking of gunpowder. His once neat hair was now disheveled, like weeds blown by a typhoon.
Clearly, the arrest attempt failed.
Luo Ji kept his head down, and without even looking at him, he knew that his boss was in a state of extreme low pressure.
Lin Jun adjusted his glasses and said in a deep voice, "Officer Cao, as the commander of this operation, I will report your actions of abandoning negotiations and disregarding the safety of the hostages to headquarters!"
"what ever."
Cao Tengfei didn't even glance at her, and asked, "Who provided the signal source?"
"It's been verified. He's a second-year student in Class 1 of the Department of Life Sciences, named Qi Te."
"Class 1, Sophomore Year?"
Cao Tengfei raised his hand, and Luo Ji immediately took out a pack of wet wipes, pulled out a stack, and handed it over.
After wiping the ash off his head with a damp cloth, Cao Tengfei turned and flew back into the academy.
"What is he going to do now?"
Lin Jun frowned in dissatisfaction, while Luo Ji casually pulled out another wet wipe and handed it to the officer who had just been transferred to the Haicheng branch.
"Madam, glasses."
Lin Jun then realized that her glasses had gotten quite dusty when they were blown away earlier.
"The boss has a scar on his left neck and extensive burns on his back, all caused by using his own body to shield himself from bullets and gasoline. He never ignores the safety of hostages, and no one knows the situation inside the academy better than him."
Lin Jun, while wiping her glasses, asked curiously, "What does that mean?"
"After Dean Zhang called the police, the boss immediately asked me to check if any of the parents of the students with the best family backgrounds in the college had received any phone calls or messages demanding ransom payments."
Luo Ji controlled a drone, following Cao Tengfei's movements. Soon, a picture of a teaching building appeared on the control panel screen.
He zoomed in and pointed to a young man in a wool coat: "This is the boss's brother."
Lin Jun looked at the screen in surprise, her brows furrowed: "So, he's worried about his younger brother..."
Don't misunderstand.
Luo Ji laughed and said, "The boss wouldn't disregard more than three thousand lives for this, and his younger brother is a C-level wind-type ability user, which is top-tier at this age."
"The fact that the Cao family did not receive a ransom demand indicates that Nanshan's kidnapping of the academy this time is different from his previous crimes; it was not for money."
"From your analysis of Nanshan's escape route, it's clear that you have a very good understanding of this three-star wanted criminal. However, criminals' behavior patterns are not static. Judging their intentions based on past experience can be somewhat helpful, but it's not absolute."
Lin Jun raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. She had only been transferred to Haicheng less than three days ago, and had no prior interaction with the special operations team, nor were they familiar with each other.
While operating the drone and providing action prompts to her teammates, this young technician was also able to think about what she had just said, thus revealing that she had some knowledge of Nanshan.
"You have excellent insight and strong teamwork skills. You also have a talent for analyzing criminal behavior patterns. Would you consider transferring you to my special cases team?"
Luo Ji was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Madam thinks too highly of me. I didn't say those things."
Lin Jun had already guessed this, and her deliberate statement was also an attempt to confirm her guess through Luo Ji.
She put on her glasses and looked at Cao Tengfei, who was talking to his younger brother in the video, with a hint of curiosity on her face.
On the other side of the screen, Cao Yingchong looked at his older brother with a somewhat blank expression.
"Qite? What do you want with him?"
"I have something to ask you."
"What is it? Just ask me."
"In the car the robbers fled, there was a cell phone that belonged to that student, Qi Te."
Cao Yingchong was immediately stunned, then quickly explained, "Brother, you must have made a mistake."
"Although that kid is very poor, has a withdrawn personality, doesn't like to talk, and doesn't participate in any activities, he acts all arrogant because of his good grades and Professor Liu's favoritism. But there's no way he could have colluded with the robbers..."
Cao Tengfei chuckled and said, "I can tell you're very jealous of that classmate Qi Te."
"I didn't, it doesn't exist, don't talk nonsense," Cao Yingchong denied three times in a row, exasperated.
"Alright, alright, when did I ever say I suspected him of conspiring with the robbers? Contact them now and find him..."
