"Team Zheng, I've sent you the location. We're on our way now. Where are you?" The voice from the police station came through clearly.
Zheng Rufeng was surprised at how quickly they had responded. He glanced at Lin Yuan, who was driving, and figured he probably didn't have time to spare, so he asked directly, "Are you sure it's there?"
"Yes, there were planes flying over that area this morning. We also heard some commotion here, and we have real-time monitoring footage."
However, they couldn't view the surveillance footage from their current location.
"Okay, are there any other developments on the road?"
"The local team just sent a message saying a car ran a red light, and it's headed straight for that area."
"How is that just 'headed straight for that area'? It's obvious they're going there on purpose."
"Just keep observing from your end and stay in touch with me. We're on our way now."
Surrounding vehicles quickly made way for them, and they were moving faster than the traffic ahead. However, catching up might still be a challenge.
Lin Yuan glanced around as he drove. He had checked the map earlier and noticed a small road that could lead them directly there, potentially cutting down their travel time by five or six minutes.
"Team Zheng, if I wreck the police car, they won't make me pay for it, right?"
Zheng Rufeng was taken aback by his comment but replied without hesitation, "Haven't we wrecked plenty before? It's not a big deal."
With that reassurance, Lin Yuan felt more at ease.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
At the intersection ahead, the car made a sharp turn. Even sitting in the passenger seat, the tilt was quite intense.
If it weren't for the red light ahead, their maneuver could have easily resulted in an accident.
As they drifted around the corner, several drivers leaned out of their windows to assess the situation. Upon seeing it was a police vehicle, many displayed expressions of astonishment.
They recalled how during driving school, their instructor hadn't covered everything; such driving skills were beyond what they could learn.
Meanwhile, another police car was closing in.
As they monitored the situation from behind, they called Lin Yuan again.
"I've been watching; we can't keep up with their speed."
Clearly, the other vehicle had been modified. At this rate, they would likely have to reach their destination before it could stop.
"Just follow them for now; we'll be there shortly."
The two red dots on the map were getting closer. Lin Yuan calmly took a shortcut through an alley that even Zheng Rufeng hadn't noticed existed.
"What are you thinking?"
The moment he finished speaking, Lin Yuan executed a swift turn. Suddenly, the view ahead opened up, and even before Zheng Rufeng could utter a casual remark, he caught sight of the scene before him.
The cars below had been stopped; now only police vehicles remained on the road.
So fast? Lin Yuan observed the vehicles ahead, realizing that the police presence was more substantial than he initially thought. He had expected only one police car, but there were three or four.
"I’ve seen you; maintain this speed and do not accelerate. Otherwise, it could easily lead to a serious traffic accident."
"Understood. If necessary, please inform us directly; there are guns in the vehicle."
The road conditions were not ideal at the moment. Besides the vehicle carrying Shang Guanyao, there was also a bus and a large truck ahead, along with several private cars. Stopping them now could easily result in a severe car crash.
Inside Shang Guanyao's car.
"Can you really guarantee they won't catch up?" she asked, glancing back at the approaching vehicles that were already quite close.
Her question went unanswered, as the driver was focused on navigating the road.
"Damn it! I’m calling Shang Guan right now to request backup." As she spoke, she picked up her phone.
Even though the call was to an overseas number, it was quickly answered.
"Miss Shang."
Shang Guanyao glanced back several times before addressing the speaker on the line. "You must have seen the video I sent? Tell everyone from the Shang family to come here for support immediately; otherwise, I won’t let you go."
"I'm sorry, Miss, but your father has already instructed that no one is to assist you."
"What?" Shang Guanyao's eyes widened in disbelief. "How is this possible? I got involved because of the contract; how can you treat me like this?"
"Let's wait for Miss Shang to return before discussing other matters. You can question your father then."
As soon as those words were spoken, the caller attempted to hang up. Before Shang Guanyao could plead for them to stay on the line, a hand reached out from the front.
"Hello?"
At that moment, her phone was on speaker mode. Several members of the Shang family sat nearby sipping tea, clearly showing little concern for Shang Guanyao's predicament.
"Hello?" A strange voice came through the phone, catching the attention of the others in the room.
"Who are you?" the butler asked, puzzled.
Shangguan Yao heard the man reply, "I am with Walton Company, and I am here to escort Miss Shangguan. Could you please provide us with some assistance?"
At the mention of Walton, a glimmer of excitement flashed in the eyes of everyone with the surname Shangguan.
"Of course," Shangguan Yao's father responded directly.
Walton Company was currently a hot commodity; establishing a connection with them could yield unexpected benefits.
"Sir, could you please provide your location?"
They had indeed left others behind at the sea, but felt it unnecessary to expend effort for just one woman.
"Please hold on."
When the phone returned to Shangguan Yao's hand, a hint of fear appeared in her eyes. If Walton Company was making the arrangements, who exactly was she collaborating with? Was it Qing She or someone else?
Just a few minutes later, Lin Yuan received some bad news: several cars were following them.
"Weren't we told that no other vehicles were allowed up here? Why didn't you stop them?"
"We set up roadblocks, but they charged through without hesitation. Those cars have been modified; Zheng's team should be coming for you."
Zheng Rufeng understood this without needing to be told.
Not far ahead, they were about to reach a fork in the road, which would significantly increase the difficulty of their escape.
"Lin Yuan, can we catch up in a short time?"
Lin Yuan shook his head. "Let them come directly. We can't create enough distance now; we have about six minutes left."
They had been driving for quite some time and couldn't delay much longer. The police cars ahead had cleared a path for them, so now Lin Yuan's vehicle was the closest to Shangguan Yao's car.
