Chapter 1457 – Departure

After getting in the car, Lin Yi slowly disappeared from the gazes of the three girls, gone as he faded into the night.

“Well, let’s go back then?” Mengyao sighed slightly as she turned to Tang Yun and Yushu.

“Okay…” Tang Yun nodded- she needed to study hard too, she couldn’t let the Miss and Yushu look down on her!

Chentian, for the time being, would live in the Chu villa as a substitute bodyguard. He followed the rules, and didn’t speak at all- only taking a portion of his food from Uncle Fu’s delivery back inside his room to eat. He didn’t spend any time getting involved with the girls.

But on the night Lin Yi left, another robbery happened in a bank- the primary suspect was seen driving a land rover without a licence plate, his face concealed. Though, it didn’t seem like he cared about the security cameras recording his movements. It was as if he didn’t care if the police knew his height or anything of the like.

Otherwise, this guy didn’t seem like he needed much effort to destroy the cameras, judging by his abilities. Looking at him, he only needed to throw a stone or coin to do just that.

However, this time the robber chose banks that were twenty-four hours- which was in contrast to before, when he operated only in the daytime.

Lingshan really was going crazy- just what the hell was this guy? She had already went through all the registered practitioners, and couldn’t find a single match…

“Captain Song, the target is a cunning one- there is nothing predictable about his robbery routine- there’s no pattern at all!” Liu Wangli said with a frown.

This was also what Lingshan was having a headache about- the robber would rob this bank today, and go to another place the next day- he would also just stop robbing anything altogether for a couple of days and then the next time, go to a jewelry shop after pulling off a perfect bank robbery- no one knew what he was planning or where he was going!

Lingshan had no other choice- after asking Yang Huaijun, they had to send a large force of police operatives to patrol all the places with banks. At this time, it was fine for a while as no robberies happened after that…

But just when Lingshan relaxed a little, the robber robbed more than ten luxury hotels in one night, taking away a big amount of cash!

And the man just had to be extremely agile too, with an unbelievable amount of speed. It was as if right after finding out where all the places the hotels stored their cash, the man would just barge in afterwards without even a single word, and start shooting immediately, using violence to force open all the cashiers and containers. Anyone who tried to stop him would get punched or kicked away, resulting in severe injuries.

And now, even if something like that happened again, none of the staff would dare interfere- all of them knew just what he was capable of, to the point where he could send people flying about with mere punches. No one wanted to resist.

There was nothing Lingshan could do- she could only call for a mass arrival of policemen from a neighboring city and station them in patrol units around hotels, malls, jewelry shops, and luxury establishments- places where there would be a lot of currency moving about.

Evidently, the robber was aware of what the police were doing in response and started using a different method after the police force was assigned. He started outright robbing vehicles that were transporting money!

And so, many of those vehicles were robbed, with the same technique- a violent stopping of the car from in front, one punch to knock the driver unconscious, and then pure robbery after getting on the car. The armed guards weren’t even able to react before their guns were twisted into metal pieces!

There was nothing that could be done to a man of violence like this.

Meanwhile, Jianwen was having the time of his life as he looked at his accumulating wealth.

“Not bad, not bad! With this we’re earning so much money at a fast speed, look at all this cash we got in such a small amount of time!” Jianwen smiled to Scorpion, “The Firewolves’ North boss even called me personally to praise me, saying that he’ll promote me to counsellor of the Firewolves. I’ll be able to directly use The Firewolves’ members!”

“Congratulations, Master Wen! Congratulations!” Scorpion said, “But, now that the police had increased their patrol radius, there’s not a lot of places we can continue doing this. Plus, 01 will be exposed soon- we didn’t make it look too intentional, but his identity will soon become suspicious.”

“It’s alright- we’ve already earned this much, we’ve completely covered the costs! 01’s purpose was just so that the cops could find him in the first place- otherwise, how am I supposed to frame Lin Yi?” Jianwen waved his hand nonchalantly, “There’s plenty of these strong experimental soldiers like 01, the professor can can make plenty of them. If 01 gets exposed, we’ll send someone else from there again!”

“But we don’t have anywhere to rob right now,” Scorpion replied, “If 01 goes to make a robbery again, the police will be there- he may be strong, but he’s just equal to a Golden class physical practitioner- Song Lingshan of the police force, herself, is one!”

“I know that, of course- there’s no need to do any robberies now, just pause the plan!” Jianwen said, with not a care in the world, “We’ve got enough money already- even if I don’t do anything and play for a year, the Firewolves wouldn’t say anything of me.”

“You’re right!” The Firewolves did not have anybody else that could pull in as much money as An Jianwen did- Scorpion also heard of his other feats, the kidney operation and the underground arena, for example. They were both very lucrative businesses!

“Now, 01 doesn’t need to do anything anymore- let him rest for a bit before sending him to mug a passerby. Do something more evil!” Jianwen said, “Our next step is to completely ruin Lin Yi’s name, and make him out to be the evilest person there is!”

“Yes, we’ll let 01 rest first and then formulate our plan,” Scorpion nodded.

Lin Yi had been gone for three days already, and for most of the time he had spent it on the highway, travelling to the Northern ice lands.

Lin Yi was a practitioner, so he didn’t need to rest- he could easily spend twenty four hours on the road without pause- except for the times he stopped to check on Xiaoxiao’s condition.

The temperature of the ice container stayed normal during the whole trip- it seemed like Tianlong had quite some good tech.

The further north he travelled, the less people there were- the roads also started becoming more twisted and curved. Fortunately, Lin Yi’s car was a jeep, so it was no problem for him.

But if it weren’t for the clear coordinates that Liju put in his notes, Lin Yi would have even thought that he was going the wrong way.

But from what he could see, the position wasn’t wrong- the ancient maps may have some differences from the modern ones, but it was normal for there to be no people here.

Though, the weather was getting colder and colder.
