Chapter 1188: Chapter 1046 Absolutely Not an Accident (Please Subscribe!)
Japan.
Nagoya.
A Toyota passenger car was heading towards a backup contact point.
It was called a contact point.
But it wasn’t a place where everyone gathered.
These kind of people.
They were most afraid of gathering together. Decentralization and independence were the foundation of intelligence work; otherwise, it was easy to be wiped out all at once. The previous exposed foothold was just a place where the two of them lived.
Only the two of them lived at that place.
The driver was named Mu Dong, and the co-driver was Liu Yi. The two had been partners for two years, one in charge of contact and the other in charge of logistics, a combination that was simple to the extreme.
Of course, there were other team members besides Liu Yi.
But the others were all in different locations.
"Team leader, what’s wrong?" asked Liu Yi.
Mu Dong turned on the stereo and set it very loud.
"Our foothold has been exposed."
"What? Where did a leak occur?" Liu Yi hurriedly asked.
"I don’t know." Mu Dong shook his head; he didn’t know either—too many reasons. Perhaps it was one instance that triggered suspicion, then surveillance, tracking, and finally investigation to their home.
"If we’ve been exposed, then today’s trip..." Liu Yi’s expression changed.
"Yes."
Mu Dong nodded solemnly.
If it had been exposed earlier, then by coming today, too much information had already been divulged. The Intelligence Department of Japan might suspect the Maruyama Clan. If they investigated carefully, they would uncover many oddities.
"Indeed, team leader, someone is following us."
Several turns.
Liu Yi spotted the follower. The follower was also highly skilled, but they were all professionals who could often detect clues from subtle observations. They were indeed being tracked.
If today was a setup.
It would be really troublesome.
The Maruyama Clan might have to evacuate quickly.
"Only that silver Toyota," Liu Yi said.
"That’s strange." Mu Dong puzzled.
"What’s strange?" Liu Yi asked.
Mu Dong wondered aloud, "They’ve followed us this far, they should have sent more cars for tracking, not just one. It’s unusual."
"If they wanted to capture us, they could have done it at Maruyama Takeshi’s house. If they wanted to continue tracking, they should have sent more cars to take turns. Just having one car now, isn’t it possible they’re not from the headquarters?"
"It’s possible."
"No matter which intelligence agency’s people they are. We need to shake them off soon," Mu Dong said; intelligence agencies in Japan were numerous and not united, with varying levels of power.
Now they couldn’t even figure out who it was.
"Right."
Mu Dong floored the gas pedal and started to accelerate, weaving through the city roads. The following Honda also quickly caught up.
They had already received the instruction.
They could arrest directly.
"Boom..."
The Honda kept up persistently.
But Mu Dong’s driving skills were superior; amidst the traffic, he performed overtakings and illegal lane changes, provoking honking from passing drivers who despised them, some even called the police.
One street.
Didn’t shake them off.
Five streets.
Still in relentless pursuit.
By then. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
They had already driven out of the dense city area. Here, the disadvantages were obvious; it was not as easy to shake them off within the city, but the roads were not as well-regulated as inside the city, with many driveways and forks.
Soon, the two cars were very close.
Just as Mu Dong’s car passed a traffic light.
He floored the accelerator.
Mu Dong rushed forward.
The car behind, thinking it could also rush through, did not notice the traffic light suddenly turning red.
"Bang..."
It was inevitable.
Those who ran red lights saw red.
"Ichiro, what happened, hey, Ichiro..." The voice came through the earphones.
"I’m okay. There’s been a car accident, damn it, the traffic light turned red, and I hit it, the target is out of sight," the co-driver team leader, Hoshino Ichiro, vigorously pounded the safety airbag in front of him.
"You handle the scene first, other teams are already ahead of them, they won’t escape."
"Okay."
Hoshino Ichiro stepped out of the car.
"What are you doing running red lights, don’t you know it’s dangerous?"
"Bastard, my car..."
"You’re in a hurry to reincarnate, huh?"
"..."
Some even wanted to rush up and hit him.
But.
When Hoshino Ichiro showed his identification, everyone’s expression changed, and they fell silent as if chilled to the bone.
These fierce people had been yelling at them just now, and they were a bit scared retrospectively. The Defense Information Headquarters was equivalent to the United States’s FBI. They hoped they hadn’t affected their task.
Shaking off Hoshino Ichiro.
"Great, a red light. Heaven is helping us." Liu Yi happily looked at the congestion behind them.
"Don’t celebrate too early. They might have a backup plan. Right now, any car around us could be a pursuer." Mu Dong was not optimistic at all, too many variables in a foreign land.
Before long.
They realized they were surrounded.
At least three cars had blocked them in front and behind. It was nearly impossible to break through. They couldn’t just smash through like in a movie. They wish.
They had guns.
So did the others.
At that moment.
All three cars turned on their police lights.
"Please pull over to the side, thank you for your cooperation."
Their attitude was still good.
Mu Dong wasn’t surprised. They weren’t mortal enemies. If captured, they would just be interrogated, then used for an Intelligence Officer exchange, and deported, never allowed to enter again.
Unless it was for extremely crucial intelligence, they wouldn’t fight to the death.
Otherwise.
Meaningless conflict.
No one would look good.
"Are we just going to accept our fate?" Seeing the smug smile inside the car window not even a meter away, Liu Yi clenched his fists. He didn’t want to be captured because it meant the end of his career.
"Of course not." Mu Dong narrowed his eyes. Until the last moment, they couldn’t relax.
At that moment.
Mu Dong saw a way out.
There was a small intersection ahead, with civilian houses on the right.
The car ahead saw it too and immediately braked, preparing to block them.
But Mu Dong floored the accelerator abruptly, ’Bang...’ he collided, and the car suddenly shook. When the speed was reduced to nearly zero, the front of the car had already passed the intersection, and he quickly turned left into it.
The chase continued.
Unfortunately.
Reality is reality.
In just five minutes.
Mu Dong’s car was blocked at the back door of the neighborhood.
"Get out."
"Don’t resist."
"This time you guys better... Get out of the car quickly..."
As he was speaking, the captain yelled, and everyone only saw a large pickup truck rushing towards them from a distance. Clearly, with that speed and being downhill, even if it wanted to, it couldn’t stop.
Then.
As Mu Dong and Liu Yi watched, dumbfounded.
The two cars blocking them were knocked flying out, almost wrecked.
"Hurry, let’s go." Liu Yi yelled loudly.
He floored the accelerator.
Mu Dong’s car rushed out.
The car behind hurried to follow, but before it had driven a few meters, it was blocked by the pickup truck reversing back, and then, as they were bewildered, the pickup truck’s driver jumped into the back seat of another pickup truck and sped away.
And the pickup truck couldn’t be started again.
Something was wrong with it.
"..."
Chase.
How to chase?
They had no car.
After reporting.
"Bastard, can’t you guys flag down a car on the road?"
"We, other cars were avoiding us from far away." The captain was also helpless, just when they had drawn their guns, people and vehicles in the periphery automatically kept a distance of several hundred meters, daring not to show themselves.
"Trash..."
The person on the phone was furious to death.
A situation that seemed absolutely certain was ruined on the spot, the target disappeared without a trace.
...
"Team leader, was that our reinforcement?" From the rearview mirror, Liu Yi had seen the pickup truck’s reversing action and even saw the driver jumping onto another pickup truck’s backseat. It definitely wasn’t an accident.
"I don’t know."
"Where do we go now?"
"Find another car."
