Chapter 210 210 This is called "You Reap What You Want"
Although everything seemed to be an accident, at this moment, Guan Xia and the others all knew that it was most likely directed at them.
Guan Xia turned around and looked at the severely damaged vehicle that was still overturned. She felt her chest tighten so much that she could hardly breathe.
Even though she had anticipated it, Guan Xia still couldn't hide her panic when the moment finally arrived. It all happened too quickly and too directly. Guan Xia seemed to see the organization's hideous faces, telling them so blatantly that they were coming to take their lives.
After a few minutes, Guan Xia finally calmed down. After the panic, he was filled with uncontrollable anger. He was angry that someone in this bright and clear world could so brazenly disregard the law and trample on human lives.
Guan Xia wanted to say something, but just as she was about to open her mouth, she heard the ringing of the bell that they had ignored for a long time.
The ringtone finally broke the silent atmosphere in the car. Guan Xia felt that his mind had cleared up a little. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Xu Nian.
Guan Xia was not surprised at all. After all, Xu Nian's car was right behind them. Even if he was not following very closely, he had obviously seen everything that had just happened.
As soon as the call was connected, Guan Xia heard Xu Nian nervously ask, "How are you guys?"
Since he saw what just happened, this sentence is obviously not asking whether they were injured, but asking how they feel.
Guan Xia let out a long breath before answering, "We're all fine. We were scared at first, but we've calmed down now."
Xu Nian also breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What do you think?"
Guan Xia subconsciously glanced outside the car. Fortunately, the road was not crowded at this time and there were not many vehicles. In addition, such a horrific car accident had happened. Even though they stopped at the intersection and missed several green lights, no car owner honked their horn to hurry them up. Instead, after calming down, they opened the door and got out of the car, moved closer to the victim vehicle, and began to try to save people.
Guan Xia rubbed his brows to get his mind working again. He understood the unspoken meaning in Xu Nian's words and thought for a moment, "They're probably doing this not only with the intention of killing, but also to buy time. After all, if our attention is diverted to tracking down the vehicle that caused the accident, we obviously won't have much energy to investigate the rainy night case."
Guan Xia grew calmer as he spoke. After a pause, he continued, "But by doing this, they've also indirectly reminded us. I wasn't sure before, but now I'm certain. The 0523 rainy night murder must have been committed by Wu Yang. He might have left very important physical evidence at the crime scene. This explains why he was so eager to kill someone to stop us from investigating right after receiving the news."
Guan Xia's analysis was full of excitement. "The more he tries to stop us, the more we must investigate. Now that we've been exposed, unless we root them out completely, accidents like tonight's will keep happening to us."
Xu Nian said solemnly, "I think so too. Since we agree, let's stick to our original plan and head straight to the precinct responsible for the Rainy Night case."
As soon as Xu Nian finished speaking, Guan Xia heard the exciting sound of sirens getting closer and closer. The four people in the car immediately turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, only to see two police cars with lights on speeding towards them. It was obvious that the traffic police team had received the call and rushed over to deal with it.
Now that the traffic police had arrived, they could leave with more peace of mind. Guan Xia responded, "Okay, let's continue."
Zhong Xiaoyu was waiting for this sentence. She rubbed her face vigorously and put her hands on the steering wheel. When the green light came on again, she stepped on the accelerator and passed the intersection smoothly.
After what happened just now, no one was relaxed for the rest of the journey. Whether it was Zhong Xiaoyu in the driver's seat, Ji An in the passenger seat, or Guan Xia and Pang Le sitting in the back seat, they all had serious expressions and were tense all over. They were observing everything around them very vigilantly, for fear that another car would suddenly appear from somewhere and cause them another accident.
It was only a 40-minute journey from the airport to the local police station, but Guan Xia felt like she was on a journey like Tang Monk seeking Buddhist scriptures. Not only was it very long, but she also didn't know what was waiting for them next.
Fortunately, the next few intersections they passed were very calm, but Guan Xia did not relax. Instead, she became more and more nervous, like the calm before the storm. Even Pang Le pursed his lips tightly, as if he felt the same suffocating feeling as Guan Xia.
It's another intersection. Whenever you pass through an intersection, everyone will become more alert for no reason.
It was the same at this intersection. Except for Zhong Xiaoyu who was concentrating on staring at the front and occasionally glancing at the rearview mirror from time to time, the other three people were looking left and right, trying hard to leave no blind spots in their vision.
As he looked, that creepy feeling came back. Guan Xia instinctively touched his arm where the hairs were standing on end, and immediately became extremely alert, observing the new intersection he was about to arrive at.
Guan Xia saw the problem at a glance. She saw that there was a large vehicle in front of them in all three lanes of the intersection dozens of meters away. It was either a large truck, a road rescue vehicle, or a garbage truck. According to the speed and the changes in traffic lights, it was difficult to pass through the intersection normally when the red light was on. In other words, no matter which lane they chose, they would be forced to stop behind the three large trucks.
Guan Xia realized something and immediately turned around to look. As she expected, there was a large truck following their vehicle at a distance of dozens of meters. Guan Xia had no doubt that the truck would hit them when they stopped and waited for the traffic light.
After the previous experience, Guan Xia was not so panicked. With a clear mind, he asked Zhong Xiaoyu, "Can we overtake those three trucks in front?"
As soon as Guan Xia spoke, everyone else realized what was going on. Zhong Xiaoyu's already serious expression tightened even more. She glanced at the traffic ahead and said quickly, "We can't overtake. All three cars are driving on the line. No matter which side we overtake, if they even swerve, we'll be forced to slow down."
Guan Xia glanced at the large truck following behind them and, while calling Xu Nian, said decisively, "Try to turn around and see if we can get rid of them."
Zhong Xiaoyu responded, and the call was connected. Xu Nian's slightly nervous voice sounded on the other end, "Guan Xia, what's wrong?"
Guan Xia didn't have time to elaborate, so she simply said, "We're going to turn around, you guys follow us in a bit."
Xu Nian also knew that now was not the time to ask in detail, so he just said "OK" briefly and hung up the phone.
Perhaps they were approaching an intersection, or perhaps they noticed something. Seeing the yellow light at the intersection start to flash and turn red, the vehicles in front began to slow down and prepare to brake, while the large truck behind them began to speed up. This was really not concealed at all.
Zhong Xiaoyu glanced at the rearview mirror, sneered, and quickly said, "Hold on tight." Then he turned the steering wheel suddenly and crashed directly into the guardrail. The huge impact force knocked away several sections of the guardrail, revealing a huge gap.
Zhong Xiaoyu did not stop and rushed through the gap in a hurry. As soon as he drove into the opposite lane, Guan Xia, who had not even sat firmly, immediately looked back. He was relieved to see that Xu Nian and his friends' car had caught up smoothly.
However, an unexpected and terrifying scene happened immediately afterwards. After Xu Nian's car passed through the gap, the big truck that obviously wanted to cause an accident to them also wanted to catch up unwillingly. However, the car was too big, heavy, and full of cargo. Under inertia, the truck became uncontrollable as soon as it passed through the gap, and overturned after sliding for a long distance.
Fortunately, the light in the opposite lane that Guan Xia and her friends were driving on was red, and apart from the large truck that had its own fault, no other vehicles were affected.
Zhong Xiaoyu also saw this scene, a big, relieved smile appeared on his face, and he said contemptuously: "This is what they call "you will suffer the consequences if you do evil". If you want to kill us, you have to see if you have the ability to do it."
Leaving the big truck behind, Zhong Xiaoyu and Xu Nian behind him did not stop their car, but instead sped up and sped away.
But after all, this is a society ruled by law. Just like the previous car accident scene, Guan Xia and the others had not driven far when they heard an extremely loud siren from far behind them.
Zhong Xiaoyu glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "Looks like they're chasing us. Guan Xia, should we pull over?"
Before Guan Xia could answer, the police car that was getting closer and closer from behind honked its horn and read out their license plate number to warn them to pull over.
Guan Xia noticed that Xu Nian and his companions' car showed signs of slowing down, so he said helplessly, "It seems that we can't leave without explaining clearly, so let's pull over and let Xu Nian handle it."
Zhong Xiaoyu pulled the car over to the side of the road and didn't get out. She just turned her head curiously and rested her chin on the back of the chair, watching Xu Nian get out of the car to deal with it.
Because he had his police officer ID with him, Xu Nian handled the matter very quickly. Within a few minutes, Guan Xia saw Xu Nian and the leading traffic policeman shake hands and salute each other, and then they got into their cars.
"Let's go." Guan Xia noticed the bored expression on Zhong Xiaoyu's face and spoke with amusement.
Zhong Xiaoyu restarted the car and said, "I was expecting something like a movie. After all, what we just experienced was quite cinematic. I really didn't expect that criminal organization to be so brazen and ruthless. Does this case really not require the intervention of the armed police?"
After reselecting the navigation route, Ji An said, "We will definitely intervene, but not now. Don't worry, once we find evidence to arrest Wu Yang, the armed police will be on the scene. I don't believe Wu Yang will surrender without a fight."
Guan Xia's heart moved when she heard this, "Sister Ji, are you saying that Wu Yang will flee?"
Ji An nodded, and Zhong Xiaoyu said, "It's obvious. Wu Yang is so rich and used to being a tyrant. Plus, he has his own power. How could he be willing to be arrested? He might be ready to escape the moment we arrive at the local police station."
Guan Xia suddenly had another idea, thought for a few seconds, and immediately called Xu Nian.
As soon as the call was connected, Guan Xia asked, "You mentioned earlier that we would invite Wu Yang to the police station to cooperate with the investigation, so that we could obtain fingerprints and DNA information. Has the task force invited him over?"
Xu Nian was a little surprised that Guan Xia would call and ask this question at this time. After a pause, he replied, "The task force has already contacted our colleagues in Jianyang City after listening to the recording provided by Li Miao. If nothing unexpected happens, Wu Yang should already be at the police station, but he is only cooperating with the investigation. In addition, without sufficient evidence, the colleagues in Jianyang City will not be able to detain him for long. Also, his special status makes it difficult to detain him for a long time."
Guan Xia was not surprised by this. After all, Wu Yang was a relatively well-known wealthy man. He was born in an orphanage and had been doing charity work for many years. Even if he cooperated with the investigation, the task force must have been doing so under pressure from certain parties. It was obviously impossible to detain him for 24 hours. Guan Xia estimated that he might not even make it through the night. Even if they tried to delay time, he would most likely be released before dawn.
Thinking of this, Guan Xia sighed and felt a little headache. It seemed that even if they had a premonition in advance, it would be difficult to really stop Wu Yang from escaping. After all, they still had no clear idea of the scale of that criminal organization.
With this in mind, Guan Xia repeated the question Zhong Xiaoyu had just raised. Xu Nian pondered for a moment and then said, "The task force has already prepared a plan. Don't worry, as long as they can find evidence, Wu Yang will definitely be apprehended."
