90 28-inch motorcycle
Inside an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city, dim lights illuminated the swirling dust.
Huo Chengrong was casually placed on a dilapidated recliner against the wall.
Number 2 and Number 3 sat on either side of Huo Chengrong, yawning and scrolling through their phones.
Wang Erzhuang sat directly opposite Huo Chengrong, diligently writing his action report.
"I. Operation Overview: The mission officially commenced at 00:00 on [Date]. Following the pre-arranged plan, I successfully infiltrated the target's top-floor apartment in Pear City and achieved non-invasive control of the target at 00:06. At 02:30, the target has been safely transferred to—"
Number 3's phone suddenly started vibrating.
Seeing the familiar caller ID number, he pressed the answer button in surprise.
"Break up! Why do we have to break up! Did I do something wrong?" Number 3 shouted excitedly into the phone. "I'll change! I'll change right away!"
Wang Erzhuang frowned and continued writing.
"Location Z. The entire operation proceeded smoothly, with no casualties, no technical errors, and without attracting external attention. II. Detailed Description of the Operation: 1. Preliminary Deployment: Prior to the operation, I had already—"
"Today? What day is it today? It's not our anniversary! Your birthday is still two months and eight days away!" Number 3's voice went from excitement to confusion. "Mao Mao's birthday?"
"You're breaking up with me just because I didn't celebrate a dog's birthday?!" Number 3 yelled angrily into the phone.
Wang Erzhuang rubbed his ears, preparing to continue writing.
"Establish an observation point on the roof of the target residence and command No. 3—"
Number 2's phone also started vibrating. Seeing the caller ID showing "Mom" as the contact name, he hesitated for a few seconds before answering the call.
"What? Say that again? My dad... he invested his entire million-dollar retirement savings in that 'Daydream' NFT digital painting?! A singing JPG at that?!" Number 2 slammed his fist on the wall, roaring in agony, "He's practically daydreaming! A hundred times more?! He believes this but not that I'm Qin Shi Huang! Is he a pig?!"
Wang Erzhuang took a deep breath.
He glanced at Huo Chengrong, who lay motionless on the recliner, and then at his two unfortunate subordinates. He sighed inwardly: one heartbroken, the other penniless—the blows were indeed significant. They were brothers who had kidnapped people together; in this situation, he, as their leader, couldn't be heartless. Since Huo Chengrong wouldn't wake up anytime soon, he'd just let them be.
However... the combined destructive power of the two's wailing and howling was truly astonishing. Although he could write reports even amidst a hail of bullets, his efficiency at the moment was indeed not much higher.
Wang Erzhuang shook his head helplessly.
Forget it, instead of wasting time here, let's find a quiet place and finish this quickly!
He turned away with a sympathetic look and decided to go outside to write.
No one noticed that at that moment, Huo Chengrong's eyelashes trembled almost imperceptibly.
No one knew, including Huo Chengrong himself, that he had a special constitution and a metabolism rate of anesthetic and sedative drugs that far exceeded that of ordinary people, which was very likely due to some kind of genetic mutation!
Therefore, Huo Chengrong woke up just three minutes after Wang Erzhuang left.
...
Huo Chengrong's return to consciousness began with a severe headache and deafening noise.
Before he even opened his eyes, he felt as if his head was being attacked by a thousand ducks, and his poor ears were ringing.
On the left, a loud male voice roared in anguish, "What?! He even borrowed a million for additional investment?! Even a pig is smarter than him! He's a stupid bastard, worse than a pig or a dog! Why doesn't he just die?!"
On the right, another voice broke down, crying out, "No—! Baby, let me explain! I can't live without you! I was wrong, I was wrong! It was just a birthday party, I'll make it up to you! And what about last time?! She and I are just friends! Baby, you've misunderstood!"
It's so noisy...
Huo Chengrong frowned, about to tell the two noisy fellows to shut up, when the last scene before he lost consciousness suddenly flashed into his mind—
At the bathroom door, an uninvited masked man, and a pungent spray hitting you in the face...
He shuddered and instantly became fully awake.
He remembered! He had been kidnapped!
Huo Chengrong gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down.
He cautiously opened his eyes a crack, and what came into view was his bound feet.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two men, one on his left and one on his right, with their backs to him, wearing orange-yellow cleaning uniforms and masks.
Number 2 and Number 3 were on the phone, their spittle practically piercing their masks. Clearly, they were completely oblivious to the fact that their "target" behind them had already woken up.
Seeing this, Huo Chengrong tentatively opened his eyes halfway.
His eyes darted around, quickly observing his surroundings.
Even though he was lying down, he could still see the entire environment clearly.
Huo Chengrong immediately realized that he was in an abandoned warehouse that was empty, cluttered with miscellaneous items, and dimly lit.
And the skilled kidnapper leader, dressed in a security guard uniform... was nowhere to be found?!
This important discovery made Huo Chengrong's heart pound.
Chance!
He glanced at the two "cleaners" beside him, each immersed in their own tragedy, and opened his eyes wide.
Huo Chengrong believed that these two underlings were insignificant and lacked vigilance. The fact that the most troublesome leader wasn't present was a perfect escape opportunity bestowed upon him by heaven!
He glanced at the rusty old electrical box in the corner, and a somewhat risky plan immediately formed in his mind.
Huo Chengrong hesitated for a second.
This is a golden opportunity, don't miss it!
He held his breath and began to move his wrists, which were bound behind his back, very slowly and very slightly.
...
When Huo Chengrong was tied up, he was wearing only underwear and a robe without pockets. He also had a platinum ring on his hand that he almost always wore and that appeared to be quite valuable.
Logically speaking, when Wang Erzhuang kidnapped Huo Chengrong, he should have followed the rules and searched all of Huo Chengrong's belongings.
But when he was about to take off the exquisitely designed ring, he found that it was a little too tight on Huo Chengrong's middle finger and difficult to remove.
When Wang Erzhuang's gaze swept over Huo Chengrong's pampered and overly youthful face, Wang Erzhuang's caution immediately dissipated.
He pursed his lips.
Well, a "health guru" who goes to bed promptly at 10 PM, what else could he be wearing if not accessories, but secret agents' tools?
Thinking of Huo Chengrong's two unreliable underlings who left a deep impression on him, Wang Erzhuang figured that Huo Chengrong, who could treat Red Hair and Green Hair as his confidants, probably wasn't a ruthless character.
He thought to himself, with him personally overseeing the situation, what ability could Huo Chengrong, this "kidney-deficient uncle" who couldn't even stay up all night, possibly have to escape his grasp?
So he took the hand that was taking the ring from him.
This gave Huo Chengrong an opportunity...
...
The cold touch from the recliner beneath him reminded Huo Chengrong of his dangerous situation.
He stared intently, listening intently to everything around him, paying close attention to every move he made.
Sweating profusely, Huo Chengrong struggled to twist his wrists, which were tied behind his back, in an extremely awkward position, under the perfect cover of the curses on his left and the cries on his right.
Huo Chengrong felt a secret joy when his fingertips smoothly found the platinum ring he never took off.
The ring on Huo Chengrong's hand looks very ordinary, no different from the accessories of most wealthy people.
But this is only what appears ordinary.
In fact, this is a hidden weapon passed down in the Huo family, containing a blade, used to save lives in times of crisis!
By the time the ring reached Huo Chengrong's generation, it was already the third generation.
The ring has been worn by its owners throughout history, but never used. Because the hidden weapon is disposable, the blade inside the ring cannot be retrieved once used, so there is naturally no need to use this concealed trump card unless in a crisis.
This was also the first time Huo Chengrong had tried using this trump card.
He recalled the instructions in the ring's manual and carefully pressed one side of the ring face with a specific amount of pressure—
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The ring did not react at all.
"???"
Could it be that the ring has been stored for over a hundred years, and its age has caused the mechanism to become stuck?
The family heirloom failed at the crucial moment, leaving Huo Chengrong feeling desperate.
However, he was just an ordinary person without professional training, and he had no way to untie the rope without tools. The ring was his only hope of escaping!
Therefore, Huo Chengrong could only grit his teeth and concentrate on continuing to try.
Three seconds later, a barely audible "click" was heard, and a sharp blade gleaming with a cold light finally sprang out silently from the inside of the ring!
It's done!
Huo Chengrong was almost moved to tears.
But he dared not delay in the slightest.
He immediately pinched the small blade between his fingertips, and by feel, aligned the blade with the special rope binding his wrist, and began to cut back and forth rapidly.
The blade was unexpectedly sharp; he could clearly feel the subtle resistance as the tough fibers were cut layer by layer.
Huo Chengrong's heart was pounding, his mind was on edge, and sweat was even beading on his nose.
He was terrified.
He was afraid that even the slightest mistake could cause him to cut himself with the blade!
He was afraid of making a noise that might attract the attention of the two "cleaners" who were less than a meter away from him!
He was even more afraid that the kidnapper leader in the security guard uniform might suddenly return—
"Smack!"
With a barely audible cracking sound, the restraints on Huo Chengrong's wrists suddenly loosened.
"!!!"
It works great! This family heirloom is extremely useful!
Huo Chengrong was overjoyed.
He suppressed the urge to move immediately, first gently flexing his stiff knuckles, then without pausing, bent down and swiftly cut the ropes binding his ankles with his newly freed hands.
...
Just as Wang Erzhuang's figure appeared not far from the warehouse gate, he saw Huo Chengrong, who, having freed his hands and feet, leaped up from the recliner without hesitation.
His pupils contracted, and without thinking, he instinctively opened his mouth and shouted sharply, "Stop him!"
But it was too late!
Numbers 2 and 3 were still immersed in their excitement, holding their phones and staring blankly for a few seconds before they could react.
Although Wang Erzhuang immediately gave chase upon realizing the situation was amiss, he didn't possess any special abilities and couldn't teleport. Even if his reaction was quick and his speed comparable to Liu Xiang's, it would still take him time to catch up.
Therefore, Huo Chengrong successfully rushed to the old electrical box in the corner, which he had initially targeted, within those few short seconds!
"Clang!"
Huo Chengrong pulled the main power switch, and the entire warehouse was instantly plunged into complete darkness.
"What the hell is going on?"
Where is he?!
In the darkness, Number 2 and Number 3 realized that their target had escaped and immediately panicked.
"Guard the door! He can't have gone far!"
Wang Erzhuang first steadied his men, then immediately turned on his flashlight.
Instead of searching for Huo Chengrong in the darkness, he went straight to the electrical distribution box.
"Clang!"
Ten seconds later, the main power switch was pulled back, and the entire warehouse was brightly lit again.
Meanwhile, Huo Chengrong had already accurately rushed towards a ventilation opening at the back of the warehouse, which was covered by broken wooden boards, based on his memory.
The moment the lights came back on, Wang Erzhuang saw Huo Chengrong kick the broken wooden plank aside and nimbly disappear into the night!
Wang Erzhuang's face was as black as Bao Gong's.
He couldn't believe it; he had only been gone for less than ten minutes, and this pampered "kidney-deficient uncle" had actually managed to escape from the warehouse!
He even mocked the uncle's subordinates before, but now it seems... what's the difference between his personally selected No. 2 and No. 3 and Huo Chengrong's green-haired and red-haired guys?
"What are you all standing there for?" Wang Erzhuang roared angrily, "Chase them!"
...
After a thrilling adventure, Huo Chengrong finally escaped from the warehouse and regained his freedom!
However, when he looked around, he saw a desolate landscape. The only modern means of transportation was the old, peeling-painted bicycle that Wang Erzhuang had bought for fifty yuan as a disguise, which he had parked under a tree.
Behind them, the sounds of Wang Erzhuang and his men chasing after them in a fit of rage could be heard from inside the warehouse.
Huo Chengrong's face was pale.
There's no time to hesitate!
He dashed forward, straddled the bicycle, and pedaled hard—
"call out!"
This dilapidated old car, like a wild horse, smoothly darted 3 meters away!
Huo Chengrong's eyes widened in surprise.
Heaven has not forsaken me!
I never expected that this car, which looks dilapidated, would have such a wild core!
Now he was even more confident about escaping.
Huo Chengrong immediately exerted all his strength, pedaling with a ferocious expression.
"Oh no! My car!"
When Wang Erzhuang, who had chased after the figure, saw the back of the person riding a broken bicycle with a loose bathrobe and exposed thighs, his heart sank.
This bicycle looks old and dilapidated, but it has actually been modified by him, and there is more to it than meets the eye.
With a huge investment of 500,000 silver dollars in modifications, this ordinary bicycle has been upgraded and transformed into a bicycle with speeds comparable to motor vehicles!
Therefore, this is actually a motor vehicle shaped like a bicycle.
That's why he was able to stick to Huo Chengrong's two trusted henchmen, the green-haired and red-haired ones, and find Huo Chengrong's hideout.
How could a person with two legs possibly catch up with a motor vehicle under normal circumstances?
Therefore, after the three of them chased after him for several minutes, Wang Erzhuang could only watch helplessly as the comical figure in the bathrobe calmly disappeared into the night on that "motor vehicle".
...
Number 2 on the left stared anxiously at the dark, deserted asphalt road ahead: "Brother Zhuang, what should we do?"
To motivate his subordinates, their big boss, Chu Xiao, had already made a bold promise: capture Huo Chengrong alive, and each person will receive a reward of at least 100,000!
Number 2 is under considerable financial pressure because a confused old man in her family has just been scammed, and she urgently needs the bonus starting at 100,000 yuan.
Therefore, he was eager to capture Huo Chengrong.
Number 3 on the right also looked at the moon overhead, completely at a loss.
Thinking about the upcoming belated birthday party for his dog, which would be another big expense, he was filled with longing for the bonus.
Therefore, he put in a lot of effort to capture Huo Chengrong.
Wang Erzhuang glanced at the two good-for-nothing underlings he had carefully selected on his left and right, snorted coldly, and took out his phone from his pocket.
On Wang Erzhuang's phone screen, a red dot was moving at an incredible speed—it was the locator on the sole of Huo Chengrong's shoe.
Indeed, the reason why Wang Erzhuang's heart was only half cold and half warm after seeing his expensively modified vehicle being ridden away was because he had taken precautions and installed a tracking device on the sole of Huo Chengrong's shoe beforehand.
Number 2 stretched its head closer to the positioning screen.
As a veteran with five years of professional experience, he immediately understood Wang Erzhuang's backup plan and said with admiration, "Brother Zhuang is brilliant! With this locator, how can we not catch Huo Chengrong!"
Number 3 immediately noticed Wang Erzhuang's phone screen.
Although his professional experience wasn't as extensive as Number 2's, he was still quite knowledgeable. Upon seeing the red dot on the screen, he became excited: "It's still Brother Zhuang who can handle this! GPS and Beidou are nothing compared to your skills!"
Just then, the sound of a car horn came from afar.
A few seconds later, a black minivan appeared at the end of the asphalt road.
Number 3 said definitively, "It should be our car."
After Huo Chengrong escaped from the warehouse, No. 3 cleverly called for the convoy to come to his aid.
What else could a car that appears in the middle of nowhere in the dead of night be doing but picking them up?
Wang Erzhuang's sharp, eagle-like eyes were fixed on the van that was getting closer and closer to them.
His muscles were taut, ready to spring into action, as if he were about to launch himself into the car at any moment. He was fully prepared to get into the vehicle and determined not to waste a single second of the pursuit.
Every minute that goes by increases the chances of catching Huo Chengrong!
However, no sooner had Number 3 finished speaking than the black van sped away from the three of them without slowing down.
"..."
The hopes of making a big splash vanished in an instant.
Wang Erzhuang turned his head, the murderous aura on his face still lingering.
He looked at number 3 with a smile.
Wang Erzhuang opened his mouth to start cursing, but the black van swerved, turned around, and sped back. Before the car had even come to a complete stop, it blared its horn urgently.
Well, not only are the two beside me brilliant strategists, but the driver, number 4, also has two eyes that are just for venting his anger.
Wang Erzhuang took a deep breath.
The mission is paramount! The mission is paramount! The mission is paramount!
He suppressed the urge to pack up his three men and throw them out of the car, and gritted his teeth, shouting, "Get in the car!"
Wang Erzhuang took the lead, jumping into the car through the wide-open passenger window without even opening the door.
When Number 2 and Number 3 saw how the boss got into the car, they followed suit and rushed in one after another through the back window.
Before Number 2 and Number 3 could even settle in, Wang Erzhuang pointed at the phone screen and shouted, "Turn left! Take the old road! Chase after them on the left along the old road!"
