Chapter 2734: Chapter 2735: Blood-Stained Long Street

Gerard hung up the phone, his body suddenly shivering, a chill directly rushing to the top of the skull.

He had just finished a call, saying he could catch Lin Yi and retrieve the statue, but unexpectedly, it ended in failure.

Gerard’s gaze turned exceedingly grim.

He had used the Eye of God with the intent of locking onto him and capturing him without alerting anyone!

Yet in the end, such a thing still happened!

Gerard couldn’t think of any other possibility.

He could only attribute it to Lin Yi’s powerful instincts!

His insight and ability to foresee danger were stronger than Gerard imagined!

Buzz—buzz—buzz——

Just then, Gerard’s phone rang again!

Seeing the number on it.

To his surprise, it was Lin Yi calling!

Looking at the ringing phone, Gerard’s expression grew even darker.

He could sense that this was Lin Yi trying to provoke him!

And he had no option to refuse.

Holding the phone, Gerard answered the call but didn’t speak.

“Why do you Americans always like to break the rules?” Lin Yi said teasingly, “It’s not a good habit.”

“You think you’re so formidable?” Gerard said through gritted teeth.

“Not really formidable, just interesting,” Lin Yi replied with a smile:

“As a fugitive, being able to talk about rules with you is already the biggest concession I can make.”

After a pause, Lin Yi switched tones and continued:

“Of course, you may not believe me, but that’s okay. We can play a guessing game. Can you guess where the next explosion will be? Harvard? The Statue of Liberty? President Mountain? The Empire State Building?”

“Don’t push it too far!”

“Too far? Compared to what you’ve done, this is nothing, right?” Lin Yi said with a laugh:

“I’ve told you everything I need to tell you, as for the choice, it’s up to you.”

After speaking, Lin Yi hung up the phone directly, not giving Gerard a chance to speak.

The office was silent, Gerard could even hear his own breathing and heartbeat.

Although it was just a simple explosion incident, Gerard couldn’t face it calmly as he did last time.

He knew very well that the nature of the matter was different.

The last time, he faced members of the Guardian Brigade.

But this time, he was facing Lin Jingzhan’s son, a fugitive who had given up everything.

Like Lin Jingzhan, he had the same crazed blood running through his veins.

If these people were angered, the world itself might follow their descent.

…

For the next day, Lin Yi was busy deploying his plan.

Meanwhile, Qiu Yuluo was also tightly engaged in her tasks.

Lin Yi knew he already had a bargaining chip to negotiate with Gerard.

But he didn’t know whether he could bring Ning Che back.

Victory can’t always reverse fortunes, a single defeat could bring irreparable disaster.

Even if he gained a slight advantage, as long as there was any slip-up, no one could end well in this place.

As time passed and night fell, it draped a charming black veil over the city.

At this moment, Lin Yi was sitting in a café opposite the Huaqi Hotel, drinking coffee.

Opposite him was the location Gerard had designated for the transaction.

From here, he could observe the hotel’s status.

At the moment, the hotel’s doors were shut, and since the afternoon, it was closed to the public.

Lin Yi knew this was for preparations for the night’s transaction.

He checked the time, there were still five hours until the transaction.

Lin Yi quietly observed, occasionally taking out the map to glance at it.

He discovered that Huaqi Hotel’s location could be described as unique.

Surrounded by wide streets, surveillance facilities were complete, without any cover, it was even hard to find a hiding spot.

Gerard had certainly taken “cautious approach” to the extreme.

Squeak—ding-ding-dong—

The café door was pushed open, accompanied by the pleasant sound of a wind chime.

Qiu Yuluo entered wearing a pair of blue washed jeans and a white sweatshirt, sat beside Lin Yi.

“I heard there was an explosion at the Mist Valley Hotel, must have been your doing, right?”

“I didn’t expect them to find my location so quickly, merely preparing a precaution, didn’t expect something to actually happen.”

Lin Yi sipped his coffee and said:

“Looks like Gerard is serious this time. He probably brought out everything he’s got.”

Qiu Yuluo didn’t respond immediately, instead silently observing Lin Yi’s expression.

Once again, her tense heart rose.

Though they’ve worked together on many missions, every time she could see strong confidence in his face, even his emotions fluctuated.

This indicated he was confident, or at least had means to counter.

But this time, his expression was calm as water, like a blank canvas, without any change.

Qiu Yuluo keenly noticed his internal anxiety.

He’s unafraid to perish here, he’s afraid of failing to rescue Ning Che.

“I’ve notified the embassy, and set up explosive points at six different locations; these are our trump cards.” Qiu Yuluo said:

“The car is ready. Once he’s rescued, we can leave immediately. There will be embassy personnel to assist us.”

“Good.”

Lin Yi responded simply, without a word more.

From then, his gaze stayed fixed on the Huaqi Restaurant’s entrance, pondering something unknowable.

“I also found out that some Congress members are displeased with Gerard’s actions, the foreign entities are also adopting a defensive stance, gaining no advantage during this operation; it’s truly a situation of injuring 1000 while harming yourself by 800.”

“I always feel something’s not quite right about this, but can’t pinpoint what’s off.”

“Let’s set this matter aside for now; once we rescue Ning Che, we’ll investigate this further.”

“Alright.”

Qiu Yuluo softly replied, sipping her coffee, she said:

“Can you be certain they won’t play tricks and are willing to transact here?”

“I’ve already informed Gerard this is his last chance; if he reneges, we’ll act directly.” Lin Yi said.

Qiu Yuluo’s body shuddered, knowing Lin Yi’s patience was at its breaking point.

Any provocative action would make him completely snap!

Approaching midnight, the café closed.

Lin Yi and Qiu Yuluo then left, observing the hotel in darkness like an abandoned building.

However, both knew inside the hotel was far from the calm exterior.

Around 1 a.m., about twenty police cars appeared on the streets.

A large group of armed personnel sealed off all streets, missing no blind spots.

A cold and murderous atmosphere permeated the streets.

On this ordinary night, someone had to orchestrate the long stretch of street.
