229: Chapter 217: Like Law 229: Chapter 217: Like Law Suicide attack—that was the term that ca to mind for Gao Yi.
Gao Yi was infuriated.
Were his opponents getting desperate, making a suicidal attack?
Although it was indeed dangerous and he almost got shot, Gao Yi’s party had two cars.
When the front car was attacked, the rear car imdiately reacted and fired shots rapidly.
Both sides were shooting, but Gao Yi’s team was actively maneuvering to evade, clearly on their guard.
The gunman, though initiating the attack, couldn’t watch his back, and was caught off guard by a burst of gunfire from Lin Xianghua.
The driver was hit, but the car didn’t stop; instead, it lost control and continued to speed on until it crashed into a lamppost on the roadside.
“Stop and check it out!”
Gao Yi’s car didn’t stop at all.
Li Jie’s car, which followed from behind, sped up to overtake and stopped beside the other car.
Before Lin Xianghua even looked inside the car, he sprayed another burst of bullets, and then, when the car had stopped, saw a driver and a gunman in the passenger seat—still holding their guns but incapable of firing.
Lin Xianghua gave each of the n an additional shot, and then Li Jie sped off imdiately.
Without anyone getting out of their vehicle, they had exchanged fire on the road and quickly fled.
“Boss, how’s it going?”
“The car got shot, we didn’t get shot, what’s the situation?”
“Both people in the car are dead, didn’t thoroughly check their identities.”
No one was shot, but the identity of the shooter was unknown, creating confusion.
Gao Yi had a perplexing feeling and curiously said, “Could it be the CIA?
Seems too reckless for them.”
“Reckless?
I think it was more like a desperate move; if they had not shot, we would have escaped.
It felt that way.”
Gao Yi was an unpredictable man, but he knew the CIA couldn’t afford to act impulsively like him, so there had to be a reason for such a seemingly preposterous act.
“Who cares!”
That was Gao Yi’s choice—forget guessing the enemy’s intentions and continue to improvise, which he was best at.
“We’ll follow our path, but now our movents must be exposed.
Wondering where to go next…”
Gao Yi muttered to himself, then stepped on the gas without revealing his plans.
Luca couldn’t help asking, “Where are we going?”
“Uh, haven’t figured it out yet.”
Luca pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, and finally said, “Maybe we shouldn’t go to Paris, the Paris police are…”
“Oh, since you think we shouldn’t go to Paris, that’s where we must go.”
Gao Yi proudly stated, “It’s called the elent of surprise.”
Luca grinned wryly, thought for a mont, and finally resigned with a chuckle, “Whatever you say.”
The car continued on the road, and then Luca couldn’t help but say, “No matter where we’re going, shouldn’t we change our car?”
“Change, we’ll do it when there’s a chance.
Right now, the priority is to get out of here.”
Luca nodded.
He now doubted his own judgnt and trusted Gao Yi’s intuition.
If Gao Yi said not to switch cars yet, then they wouldn’t.
Then Gao Yi drove towards Paris and got on the highway.
And for the ti that followed, nothing happened.
Luca grew increasingly uneasy and whispered, “Although we fired on the road and left the car with bodies inside, it’s impossible it won’t be discovered.
The discovery must lead to an alert, so the French police will chase us.
Yet, there has been no response.
Why haven’t the police co after us?
This is abnormal.
Are they deploying the army instead?”
Fearful when pursued, just as fearful when not—worried that sothing more formidable might strike.
Gao Yi could only reassure Luca, “Don’t worry, maybe there’s no conspiracy, maybe it’s just the incompetence of French police.
They probably haven’t found us yet.”
“How could that be!”
Luca exhaled sharply, then said helplessly, “Although Paris has beco a haven for thieves, bandits, and scamrs, and even though reporting a theft to the police is futile, and Parisian police are known for their incompetence and laziness, that’s just the general impression.
When a major case arises, their reaction is still…
still…”
“Still slow, rember, we’ve been to Paris before.”
Gao Yi said with full confidence, “I took down Ditzel in Henry’s castle; he was a big shot.
Yet, the Paris police were not quick to act, and till now, they haven’t found out anything.”
That was a psychological advantage.
Having been to Paris, gotten into a scrap that made waves, and left unscathed.
Once unfamiliar, now accustod—Gao Yi considered himself well-versed in Paris and was not afraid at all.
Luca was persuaded by Gao Yi.
After so thought, he finally said, “Okay, you’re right, going to Paris is the correct choice.”
Luca had finally found a reasonable excuse for going to Paris on Gao Yi’s behalf—the Paris police were just too useless.
It was a good reason.
Luca relaxed slightly.
Now they had been driving for over two hours, not at a particularly fast speed, and had covered about two hundred kiloters, far away from the cri scene.
They should have been safe by now.
Given the efficiency of the French police, it would likely take them at least two months to trace the cars.
What would happen next?
Would it be the CIA, the Andic Group, or the French police?
It was impossible to leave France without any obstruction, driving non-stop all the way, was it?
Luca was a cautious man, always feeling that things couldn’t unfold this smoothly.
At this mont, Gao Yi suddenly recalled sothing.
He took out his phone and dialed Shaman’s number.
“Big brother, it’s .
Yeah, I have an awkward favor to ask.
Can you save our lives?”
The ‘awkward’ favor Gao Yi needed was indeed a matter of life and death.
But Shaman replied with a grave voice, “I’ve already made a call.
The White House has said they won’t allow the CIA to carry out any more retaliation against us.
The White House has promised explicitly that the CIA won’t launch any attacks against the National Intelligence Bureau.
You can adopt the identity of the National Intelligence Bureau.
If Spain doesn’t acknowledge it, I’ll talk to them.”
“Big brother, we’re not in Spain anymore, we’re in France.”
“France…
No problem, we are currently in negotiations with Dassault to buy Rafale jets.
If France doesn’t recognize your identities, I’ll cancel this procurent deal.
Wait—right now, the purchase is only under consideration, no worries, this is even better.
I’ll make a call to France.”
The elder brother had buying power, super buying power.
Gao Yi was half relieved and said respectfully, “Then I’ll wait for big brother’s good news.
Thank you for saving our lives.”
After hanging up the call, Gao Yi put down his phone and asked, “Still worried now?”
Luca shook his head and said, “Not worried about France anymore, not much about the CIA, um, so that just leaves Andic.
Alright, the situation has improved a lot, indeed a lot.”
