CHAPTER 762: CHAPTER 764: EVEN THE BEST ACTOR CAN’T PLAY IT
"Mission failure?"
Upon hearing the white man’s words, the person on the other end of the phone was suddenly very surprised and asked:
"What happened?"
"There was an unexpected situation."
The white man was running fast while answering:
"A riot suddenly broke out in the prison, causing a surge in police forces in the nearby area, which has caused me some trouble.
Additionally, there were two extra FBI agents at that prison guard’s home beforehand. They’re not weak; someone anticipated our move."
"Son of a bitch! It must be Luo An Greenwood’s people!"
The voice on the other end cursed, fell silent for a few seconds, then asked:
"How are you doing now?"
"I’m alright. I’ve already shaken off a very tall and strong FBI agent, and a group of SWAT is behind me, but there’s still some distance between us."
The white man’s tone was relaxed as he calmly said:
"I had already prepared an exit strategy before the operation. I’ll get rid of them in a bit."
"Good."
The male voice on the phone was very satisfied:
"Remember to lay low for a while and be careful after you’ve successfully evacuated."
"I know."
After a brief agreement, the white man actively hung up the call, then took out a grenade from his pocket and tied the disposable phone to it.
Feeling the SWAT members getting closer and closer, the white man smirked and threw the grenade far away.
Boom—
Seconds later, the grenade exploded with a loud bang, and the SWAT team members immediately shouted in alarm:
"Watch out! The enemy has grenades!"
"Over here! Over here!"
"Move fast!"
After dodging the grenade, the SWAT team members quickly rushed to the location, but the white man was no longer there.
At the same time, in the southwest direction of the woods, Winslow was slowly driving the car on the road with Luo An sitting in the passenger seat in silence, the atmosphere in the car very quiet.
This case was quite different from their previous cases, with seemingly too many incidents having occurred so far.
First, "Blue-eyed Roy" was stabbed to death in prison along with the two attackers.
Then Vireness discovered she had been poisoned while investigating the case and was urgently rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Next was the prison riot, with a group of prisoners and prison guards dead, including Prison Guard Danny, whom Luo An was looking for.
Finally, someone tried to kill Danny’s mother to silence her, which led him to call in the SWAT team for support.
Luo An closed his eyes with a furrowed brow, feeling that behind these events, there was a thread vaguely connecting them to each other, but where exactly and what exactly it was still eluded him, which made him somewhat frustrated.
Seeing Luo An in deep thought with his eyes closed in the passenger seat, Winslow opened his mouth several times to speak but ultimately chose not to.
He didn’t quite understand why Luo An was so sure the sniper would flee in their current direction.
Winslow had glanced at the map as well; their current location wasn’t too far in the northeast direction from where the prison riot broke out.
This meant that if the sniper were to be spotted in this area with ample police presence around, it would be highly unlikely for him to escape, making Winslow doubt the sniper would head this way.
However, after being in the special investigation unit for so long, Winslow had found that Luo An often had some unique and novel angles to consider things, and the likelihood of him being right in the end was still very high.
Therefore, Winslow chose to suppress his doubt and decided it wouldn’t matter if Luo An was wrong this time. After all, there were so many SWAT members in pursuit behind them, so he followed Luo An’s instructions and casually drove around the area.
Suddenly, Winslow’s expression tightened, he noticed a flock of birds suddenly flying out of the nearby woods, so he immediately sped up the car towards that direction. Before the car even reached the spot, a grenade was hurled out of the woods!
"Fu-k!"
Winslow’s face changed color. He instinctively twisted the steering wheel to evade the grenade.
But it was still a step too slow, and the grenade exploded right behind the car!
Boom——
A deafening explosion rang out, the car’s rear glass shattered to the ground instantly, and the trunk was blasted inward.
Screech——
Although jolted by the shock, Winslow’s driving skills were decent enough to steady the vehicle and prevent it from flipping over.
Once the vehicle came to a halt, Winslow quickly grabbed his gun, got out of the car, and took cover behind it, aiming towards the direction from where the grenade came.
"Luo An! Get over here!"
At the same time, Winslow immediately reached out to pull Luo An, hoping he would quickly move from the car to his side to avoid being shot by the person who’d thrown the grenade while moving around the outside of the vehicle.
"OK."
Luo An also spotted that the grenade was thrown from the woods on the right side, indicating that the enemy was hiding in the trees on the passenger side.
Moving from the inside of the car to the left side was indeed the correct choice under these circumstances, but just as Luo An was about to move, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, stopped in his tracks, and shouted loudly:
"Winslow, I injured my foot! It’s inconvenient!"
"What?!"
Winslow’s eyes widened in a panic, breaking into a sweat. Before he could react, a white man suddenly burst out of the woods on the right, swiftly moving to the passenger side of the car.
The white man yanked open the door, dragged Luo An from the passenger seat, and lifted his gun to press it against Luo An’s head, shouting at Winslow:
"Drop your weapon, or I’ll shoot..."
The white man hadn’t finished his sentence when suddenly, he felt his gun barrel grabbed and forcefully twisted to the side.
The white man snorted coldly, realizing that the Luo An he had captured was trying to resist, so he decisively raised his foot and stomped toward the bandaged ankle on Luo An’s left foot, planning to use pain to force Luo An down.
Luo An rolled with the momentum, avoiding the white man’s stomp on his left foot, and kicked upwards directly.
Thud——
A muffled sound, and the indescribable pain between his legs caused the white man’s eyes to bulge. Luo An gave him no chance to react and sprung to his feet while pulling out the cane from the car, swinging it straight at the white man’s head.
Bang!
The white man instinctively bent over to dodge but was still struck hard in the chest by the cane. The impact, compounded with the pain below, made the white man unable to stand and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Massive shock!"
Winslow, who was nearby, saw Luo An standing unharmed and defeating the white man, was utterly astonished.
The white man on the ground suffered greatly and inhaled sharply in pain; his face was also filled with bewilderment and shock:
"Weren’t you injured in the ankle?"
Luo An swiftly disassembled the retrieved pistol, discarded the bullets to the side, and revealed a sunny, bright smile to the white man:
"Surprise, Mother-fu-ker."
"..."
The white man’s eye twitched, realizing suddenly:
"You were pretending?"
"Correct."
Luo An no longer concealed the truth, nodding with a smile as he admitted:
"My ankle is almost healed. Pretending to be incapacitated was just to fool the fools into thinking I’m an easy squeeze.
The enemy thought they succeeded, but then I turned the tables and caught them. Isn’t it interesting?"
Luo An picked up the cane, pointed at the white man’s twisted face, and chuckled:
"That’s right, your expression is priceless! Not even an Oscar-winning actor could deliver it!"
The white man’s face trembled, filled with frustration:
"I... I..."
#%*¥!
A barrage of curses welled up in the white man’s heart at that moment, but before he could verbalize them, Luo An pressed the cane against his head and laughed:
"Let’s have a chat, who sent you?"
