Chapter 198 - 197 Safe House
The police didn’t check Yang Yi’s trunk after all.
The reason why Yang Yi dared to throw a living person in the trunk amidst the heavy police blockade was because he was certain that the police would not inspect his trunk.
This was a sudden crisis. The identities of Brian and the other two men were clear: three white men armed and extremely dangerous. The police had to establish a blockade and conduct searches as quickly as possible, and they also needed to evacuate civilians. They didn’t have the time to check the trunk of every car.
Of course, Yang Yi couldn’t be sure that the police wouldn’t inspect his trunk, but how could one be completely certain of anything? As long as he felt there was a possibility of success, and the odds weren’t too low, that was good enough.
This time, Yang Yi’s judgment was correct. The police really just glanced and let him leave, because three people couldn’t hide in that trunk.
After driving out of the parking lot, Yang Yi could still see a large number of police cars arriving, but all of that had nothing to do with him. He made way for the police cars and then drove onto the main road at a fast clip.
It was only after he had driven far away that Yang Yi felt his palms were full of sweat; his actions had been too risky. Yang Yi was definitely nervous, but the potential gain from this risk was significant, otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken such a gamble.
Brian wasn’t being pursued by the CIA; instead, he was ambushed by a group of mercenaries. If Yang Yi could get the man in the trunk to reveal who was behind all this, it was highly possible that the mole who had set up Brian would be found.
So, this matter was actually unrelated to Yang Yi, but he still did it for Brian, since he happened to come across this opportunity.
Now, the only problem that remained was whether Brian and the others could escape.
Without receiving a phone call, Yang Yi didn’t know where to go, so he drove aimlessly for a while, bought some rope and duct tape at a hardware store, then used the navigation to drive out of the city and stopped in a secluded place.
