Chapter 128: The Scapegoat Specialist
The series of actions just now can be said to have been completed in the blink of an eye, leaving the man in the suit no time to react. By the time he did, Lin Tian was already behind him.
On the small ladder, the man in the suit’s body was pressed against it, while behind him, Lin Tian was pressed up against him.
"So disgusting!"
Being pressed against like this by a big man, the man in the suit cursed and grabbed the ladder with both hands, arching his body backward forcefully, trying to push Lin Tian off.
Lin Tian grasped the ladder tightly and pushed his body forward with all his might, as the two of them engaged in a standoff on the ladder relying entirely on strength.
Unfortunately, Lin Tian’s strength was evidently superior, and he directly pressed the man in the suit against the ladder, freeing one hand to fiercely punch the man in the temple.
The man in sunglasses in the driver’s seat watched the situation unfolding on the ladder through the rearview mirror while driving.
Seeing Lin Tian gaining the upper hand, the man in sunglasses made a decision, retrieved a steel pipe from beneath the seat, and slowed down the vehicle...
A punch landed heavily on the man in the suit’s temple, instantly causing him to feel dizzy, but at the moment of life and death, he gritted his teeth and endured it, while his right hand holding the gun aimed the muzzle at Lin Tian behind him.
When Lin Tian’s punch didn’t have the expected effect, and upon seeing the dark muzzle pointed towards him, he immediately struck again, hitting the man in the suit’s wrist holding the gun. The immense force directly caused the man’s wrist to hit the ladder, making his right hand numb, and the pistol slipped from his grip...
With the threat of the gun gone, Lin Tian was even more at ease, swiftly punching the man in the suit’s temple. Since one punch didn’t knock him out, he would just hit him several more times, refusing to believe he wouldn’t pass out.
Sure enough, after four or five punches, the man in the suit’s vision went black, and he fell into a brief faint.
Seeing this scene, Lin Tian didn’t care whether the man in the suit lived or died. He grabbed the ladder with one hand, and his body moved to one side, leaving the man in the suit unprotected, causing him to fall directly to the ground.
Just like a water bottle bouncing three or four times on the asphalt road, he landed on the ground and lay motionless.
Having dealt with the man in the suit, Lin Tian looked towards the driver’s seat, which was empty at this time.
"Huh, where is the person?"
Seeing no one in the driver’s seat, Lin Tian quickly turned to look at the asphalt road behind the car, spotting a man in sunglasses standing in the middle of the road, waving at him from a distance.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, combined with the car’s accelerating speed, Lin Tian exclaimed inwardly and immediately reached out to try and open the car door.
Unfortunately, the door was already locked from the outside, and Lin Tian couldn’t get in, which made him anxious as the speed increased, but no one was in the driver’s seat, making a crash inevitable if there was a curve ahead.
In a moment of desperation, without time to think further, Lin Tian punched the car door’s windshield directly.
One punch!
Two punches!
Three punches!
Without any breaking tools, Lin Tian used his fists to smash the glass, inevitably getting shards embedded in his skin, making his veined fists bloody.
Finally, he managed to punch a small hole in the windshield on the car door. Ignoring the continuously bleeding hand, Lin Tian reached inside and groped around randomly.
With a "click!"
A smile appeared on Lin Tian’s lips, and he quickly withdrew his hand, opened the car door, and leaped into the driver’s seat.
Upon entering the driver’s seat, Lin Tian immediately noticed the black steel pipe lodged on the gas pedal, confirming his previous suspicion that there had been someone in the driver’s seat, but after dealing with the man in the suit, they slowed the car and jammed the pipe on the gas pedal before jumping out.
"Such an insidious and ruthless plan!"
Using his nearly blood-red right hand, Lin Tian removed the steel pipe from the gas pedal, sat in the driver’s seat, and stepped on the brake to reduce speed.
"Raise your hands, or I will shoot!"
Lin Tian had just settled in the driver’s seat when he heard a deafening horn sound outside the window.
Outside the window, a police car was sticking close to the heavy truck, with the siren flashing. A policeman sat in the front passenger seat, his black handgun aimed at Lin Tian, while holding a radio in his left hand, shouting continuously: "Stop the vehicle, or I will shoot!"
"Mr. Ning, it’s me?" Lin Tian greeted as he braked to slow down the truck.
"Is it you?" Mr. Ning was surprised to see Lin Tian in the driver’s seat, never expecting the robber would be him.
This guy, wearing a funeral suit, dared to rob a bank this late at night.
Mysteriously, Mr. Ning felt a bit of heartache.
The heavy truck’s speed slowed down and came to a halt on the roadside, while the police car Ning was in parked horizontally in front of the truck, presumably to prevent Lin Tian from suddenly speeding away.
Mr. Ning’s gaze remained fixed on Lin Tian in the driver’s seat, shouting loudly: "Raise your hands above your head, get out of the vehicle, now!"
"I’m not a robber!"
Lin Tian’s attention was initially focused solely on Mr. Ning, not noticing the problem. Once the vehicle stopped, he realized he was probably mistaken for the robber.
Bai Shishi had reported to the police from the cargo compartment, and since there was only one person in the driver’s seat, it was clear that the robber must be him.
Lin Tian opened the door and hurriedly got out to explain: "Uh... let me explain, I’m not a robber!"
"Hands on your head, squat on the ground!"
Mr. Ning also got out of the car immediately, raising his right hand and aiming the gun at Lin Tian, completely ignoring what he was saying.
Lin Tian initially wanted to explain, but Mr. Ning aggressively approached, pointing the gun at him with a look that suggested non-compliance might lead to being shot!
"Listen to me explain!"
Lin Tian attempted to defend himself.
"Click!"
Mr. Ning forcibly handcuffed Lin Tian’s hands: "Say whatever you have to say at the police station!"
"Hey, what are you doing? I said, I’m not a robber." Lin Tian did not expect to be actually arrested and immediately explained again.
Unfortunately, before he could finish, Mr. Ning had already interrupted him by cuffing Lin Tian’s hands.
"Hey, what’s going on?"
Lin Tian felt quite wronged at this moment.
"Why are you arresting me?"
Lin Tian glared angrily at Mr. Ning and shouted.
"You have the right to remain silent; anything you say to any officer can be used as evidence against you in court."
Mr. Ning stated in an official manner.
"I’m not a bad person!"
"You’re such a bastard, how could you do such a thing!"
Mr. Ning looked at Lin Tian angrily, fearing that the crime he committed this time was severe enough for a long sentence.
"I am innocent!"
Lin Tian felt utterly despairing, fearing that he wouldn’t be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
