Chapter 124: Die With Understanding
The bald robber raised his head and questioned, "What are you laughing at?"
Lin Tian immediately retracted his smile, "It’s nothing!"
Unexpectedly, the bald robber didn’t pay attention to the laughing Lin Tian but instead said to his companions, "Everyone get ready!"
The robbers in the car heard the order, and compared to the relatively relaxed atmosphere before, they immediately became serious, indicating that something big was about to happen!
Suddenly, Lin Tian asked, "You’re going to switch vehicles, aren’t you?"
"Hm?"
The bald robber shifted his attention back to Lin Tian, "How did you know?"
"Isn’t that how it always goes in the movies?"
Lin Tian found an excuse to stall, while pleading, "You can switch vehicles, you can kill me however you want, but please don’t separate me from Ruyan!"
"Don’t worry, until this is over, you two will be together!" The bald robber, the only one who knew the plan, looked disdainful, his eyes full of contempt.
A man unable to protect the woman he loves, yet pathetically pleading to die together, how pathetic...
Sitting next to him, Bai Shishi was already captivated by Lin Tian’s superb acting, and a ripple of emotion appeared in her heart.
If there really was a man who loved her so deeply, dying together would be such a happy ending?
Where’s the difference between men and women?
It’s that men are sometimes just saying things casually, but women take it seriously!
"But your license plate number should have been noticed by the police a long time ago, and there are cameras everywhere on the road!"
"Even if you switch vehicles, won’t the police still find out?"
Just as all the robbers in the car were nervously waiting for the next action, Lin Tian unexpectedly reminded them in good faith!
In an instant, Bai Shishi was at a loss, wondering if this guy was an idiot and just who he was helping...
Lin Tian’s question, perhaps in everyone’s eyes, was an incredibly foolish one, even Bai Shishi thought so.
But in Lin Tian’s view, asking this question was only to better understand the robbers’ next move, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment.
Everyone inside the van held their breath, quietly waiting, making Lin Tian’s dark eyes begin to wander, closely observing the outside environment of the van.
At the moment, the van had already driven out of Kanyue City District to the suburbs, most suburban roads were wide roads, with few cars and many basic infrastructures under expansion.
Compared to the city, there were much fewer cameras and speed traps on the road, and since it was noon, the scorching summer sun left the streets nearly empty.
The suburban environment was quite suitable for the robbers to escape, but with a fake license plate car bearing XXXXX, was it really that easy to get away?
"That’s none of your concern, just keep your eyes open and watch!" The bald robber turned, raising his right index finger to his lips to hush him.
"Vroom vroom!"
At that moment, the driver of the van suddenly floored the gas pedal, and the van, almost full of people, began to sway and dash wildly, rushing towards the vehicle ahead.
Up ahead was a box-type heavy truck, moving very slowly, which was surprising.
If it were any other heavy truck on the wide suburban road, they’d probably be speeding like crazy, but this heavy truck was moving leisurely.
The van seemed to be rushing madly towards the rear of the box truck, and with the van’s speed, a crash would surely be fatal.
The scene turned Bai Shishi’s face pale, and she couldn’t help but scream...
Apparently unable to stand Bai Shishi’s scream any longer, the bald robber covered his ears and shouted, "Stop screaming, you won’t die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rear hatch of the box truck ahead suddenly opened, and a massive iron board was thrown out, hitting the ground, sparking as it scraped against the asphalt.
"Vroom... vroom vroom!"
The engine of the van roared furiously, speeding towards the rail propped between the truck and the asphalt.
Sitting in the vehicle, Lin Tian felt as though he was on a roller coaster. After shooting forward for a while, a sudden brake sent him crashing into the front seat, immediately plunging his view into darkness.
Retrieving the iron board and tossing it into the cargo compartment, the two men waiting in the compartment quickly shut the cargo door of the heavy truck.
"Get out, everyone get out!"
In the dark cargo compartment, the bald robber’s voice suddenly commanded.
Because his head had hit the front seat, Lin Tian was a little dizzy and hadn’t come to his senses yet when a robber next to him forcefully dragged him out. It was then he noticed everyone was already in the truck’s cargo compartment.
"A classic outsmarting tactic!"
Lin Tian secretly admired the meticulously planned robbers, while contemplating what these robbers planned to do next and how he and Bai Shishi might escape from this closed compartment.
"Kid, now you see how we’re gonna escape?"
The bald robber got out of the vehicle, pressed something somewhere, and the compartment suddenly lit up, revealing a simple lighting fixture installed above.
"Impressive, just like in the movies!" Lin Tian praised admiringly.
This group of robbers was quite professional!
"Seeing such an impressive scene before dying, it’s worth it!"
Finished speaking, the bald robber flicked his foot and grabbed a rope in both his hands.
Beside Lin Tian, Black Snake saw this, chuckled evilly, and pinned Lin Tian to the ground to prevent him from struggling.
Seeing the bald robber’s wicked grin and the rope in his hand, Lin Tian feigned fear and said, "Didn’t you promise me you’d let me die with my girlfriend?"
The bald robber sneered, "This woman is still useful, but if you willingly offer yourself up to die, you can’t blame anyone else!"
"What exactly do you want to do?" Lin Tian squinted his eyes and asked again. It’s common for people to soften unexpectedly when facing a dying individual and reveal things they wouldn’t normally say.
And Lin Tian seized upon this trait, asking probing questions.
"Since you’re about to die, I’ll just tell you!"
The bald robber pouted, pulling a wad of money from his pocket, "Now do you understand why I’m doing this?"
"For money?"
Seeing the wad of red bills in the bald robber’s hand, Lin Tian furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, and spoke again, "You’re going to kidnap her and use her as a hostage to demand a ransom?"
"That’s not something you need to know!"
Clearly, the bald robber was still very wary of revealing the truth.
"It wouldn’t hurt to tell me, anyway, I’m about to die, just let me die with understanding!"
Lin Tian didn’t resist, instead, he resigned himself, sitting on the ground without any movement.
