Chapter 563: Chapter 574: Insight
Alice Brown sat in Jas Brown’s car, initially focusing intently on the two cars belonging to the criminals. However, watching Jas drive so swiftly, almost colliding with other vehicles several tis, her heart was in her throat. But after following for a while, Jas’s car gradually distanced itself from the other cars, and she couldn’t help but urgently say, “Big Brother Brown, hurry up, we’re going to lose them.”
Jas calmly replied, “Right now, we need to let them think they’ve escaped the police. Only then will they take further action. They can’t keep driving those two police vans indefinitely. If they don’t think they’ve shaken off the police, they’ll remain in those two vehicles. Even if they run out of gas and we force them to stop, as long as they’ve got hostages, we still can’t do anything to them.”
Alice worriedly said, “But if we can’t catch up to them, won’t they be able to escape?”
“No, I know where they’re heading.” Jas flashed a subtle smile.
“You know?” Alice widened her eyes in disbelief.
Jas nodded and said, “Even though they seem to be driving randomly and not taking the sa routes, no matter how much they turn, they haven’t left the vicinity of F Street. Near F Street, there’s an auto repair shop with two vans parked there; that’s where they’re headed.”
Alice widened her eyes in surprise at Jas, asking, “Big Brother Brown, when did you figure this out?”
“Haha, I just guessed. Following them right now isn’t much help; let’s see if I’m right.” Jas chuckled, swerved, and forced an Audi A4 that had just left the gas station to stop.
Jas jumped out of the car and flashed a badge in front of the driver, saying, “Police business, I need to commandeer your vehicle.”
The driver, a young man in his twenties, was taken aback and didn’t get out but instead frantically tried to roll up the window. For a regular person, encountering a situation where police commandeer a car is too rare. With so many scams nowadays involving impersonating police officers, he instinctively thought Jas was trying to con him and steal his car.
Jas furrowed his brow, ready to pull the guy out and take the car, when Alice smiled at the driver, saying, “Excuse , I’m Alice Brown from the TV station. We’re filming a show right now; could you cooperate a bit?”
The driver, surprisingly, recognized Alice at once and excitedly said, “You’re really Alice Brown.”
Jas smiled again and winked at the driver, saying, “That’s . The police are on a case; I’m cooperating for filming. Please help out and take our police car to the Public Security Bureau. We’ll send your car there, and you’ll be on TV then.”
“Okay, sure!” The driver opened the car door and got out, grinning excitedly.
Without hesitation, Jas got into the car, and Alice followed, shaking the driver’s hand as they left, making him overjoyed.
As the car started again, Alice smiled sweetly at Jas, saying, “Big Brother Brown, did you see? I’m useful too.”
Jas couldn’t help but grin, responding, “Indeed, the beauty effect is pretty significant. How else would there be the ‘honey trap’?”
“Anyway, as long as you don’t think I’m useless, that’s good.” Alice swayed her head happily.
Jas drove to the opposite side of the repair shop he’d ntioned earlier. In less than two minutes, the two police vans drove over. Alice excitedly exclaid, “Here they co, they’re really here!”
The two vans parked in the repair bays inside, quickly pulling out the hostages and jumping into two other vans. Then, two people from the repair shop swiftly drove away the police vans, while the rest drove off in the new vans.
This ti, they didn’t drive fast or exceed the speed limit. Jas leisurely drove behind them, keeping a few cars in between, not worrying about being discovered.
Alice, filled with excitent, looked at Jas and said, “Big Brother Brown, you’re amazing! You figured out where they would change vehicles so quickly.”
Previously, Alice liked Jas for being low-profile and his vibrant aura, but she didn’t know how capable he was. Now she realized, Jas not only had status and position but also such strong abilities, which made her like him even more.
After being excited for a while, Alice worriedly said, “Big Brother Brown, shouldn’t we inform the police?”
Jas shook his head, saying, “No, I don’t want you to tell anyone about this either; I’ll resolve it myself.”
Alice exclaid, “Big Brother Brown, there are ten of them, and they have guns. It’s too dangerous; we ought to call the police.”
Jas remarked, “They have hostages. Large-scale actions aren’t effective. If we want to rescue the hostages, we have to act covertly, so more people aren’t necessarily helpful.”
“But… there’s only us… and how are we supposed to deal with ard criminals?” Alice stamred.
“Not us, just . When they settle, you wait. I’ll finish things and co out to get you.”
“Just you?” Alice looked at Jas, more astonished.
Jas reached over and lightly patted her arm, saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t be hard. Just a few small-ti crooks can’t hurt .”
“This…” Alice’s mouth twitched. Even though Jas was resolute, he was alone facing so many criminals. “Big Brother Brown, what if sothing happens to you?”
Jas laughed heartily, saying, “You’re not hoping for to get in trouble, are you?”
“But it’s too dangerous.”
“Danger makes it exciting. Don’t worry, I wouldn’t risk my life; I won’t let you down.”
Seeing Jas’s determination, Alice, despite her concerns, held back, feeling how handso he was—like a movie hero facing ten ard criminals alone.
The criminals’ vehicle smoothly drove out of the city towards the seaside. This road was straightforward, and their speed increased. Jas pressed the gas pedal, and the Audi A4 overtook the two vans.
“Big Brother Brown, why did you overtake them?” Alice asked in confusion.
Jas responded with a smile, “I’m driving an Audi A4 now; if I keep following the two vans, don’t you think they’ll get suspicious?”
“That’s true, but… what if they suddenly change direction?”
Jas shook his head, saying, “It’s unlikely. I’m not sure of their goal, but with such a big incident, they definitely won’t stay in YODC City. Leaving by land isn’t feasible; the two police vehicles can’t fool the cops for long. Whether on highways or regular roads, police checks are inevitable, and nearby counties will assist in the investigation. They simply can’t go far, and flying is out of the question. Their only option is by water, and large docks are impossible, so it has to be smaller ports. Moreover, they don’t have much ti; once the police realize they’ve been duped, even small ports will be inspected. They must leave quickly by water; there’s a small port ahead on this road, and that’s likely their destination.”
Alice listened to Jas’s analysis, speechless, before finally giving him a thumbs-up, saying, “Big Brother Brown, your judgnt is incredibly admirable. I have no idea how you figured all this out.”
Jas smiled lightly, saying, “If soone has a purpose, there’s always a trace. Carefully discover it, and you can figure it out.”
Alice slightly furrowed her brow, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, she suddenly turned and winked at Jas, asking, “Did you figure out what my purpose with you is?”
Jas coughed lightly. He’s quite aware of Alice’s and Laura’s little intentions. These two initially wanted to stick with him with great ulterior motives, but as they spent more ti, their motives waned, and their genuine liking for him grew.
Jas isn’t narcissistic but possesses sharp discernnt. Being with them, he’s able to see their true intentions. Like Lucy Campbell, who once fooled him completely—her noble status led to intense self-suggestion. But aside from Lucy, Jas won’t repeat such mistakes.
Alice pouted and said, “Big Brother Brown, you’re really heartless. Laura and I have been hoping for you, but you never ca. You even promised us before but broke it again.”
Jas smiled and said, “Sorry, I’ve been caught up with things recently, so I haven’t visited. But I won’t go back on my promise to you.”
Jas doesn’t intend to get involved with them further, but being good friends is nice, so he doesn’t want to strain relations.
Alice quickly said, “This ti, no lying to us. If you deceive us again, we’ll storm into your ho!”
Jas instantly gave a dry cough, thinking how it seems won nowadays know this trick all too well.
