Chapter 574 - 555: The Great Escape
Riyadh is the capital of Saudi Arabia, a highly modernized city, and a must-visit place for every tourist who comes to Saudi Arabia. In particular, the residential areas of the Saudi Royal Family within eight kilometers of the center and the Kingdom Tower have become the iconic structures of Saudi Arabia.
However, Ye Chen and Yang Guang were in no mood to appreciate these so-called beautiful sights.
After boarding a plane from Hong Kong and enduring several hours of continuous travel, they arrived in Saudi Arabia at ten o’clock at night.
"Should we rest for the night and gather intelligence tomorrow?" Yang Guang tentatively asked.
"How can that be acceptable!" Ye Chen snapped, "Saving lives is like fighting fires; every second is precious!"
"Alright!" Although Yang Guang was somewhat tired, he had no choice but to concentrate fiercely and continue moving forward with Ye Chen. They hailed a taxi and rushed to the city center.
Upon reaching their destination, the two realized that apart from a passport and a stack of RMB, they did not have a single US dollar on them—a currency essential for transactions in Saudi Arabia. Without US dollars, they couldn’t even take a step. Ye Chen and Yang Guang looked at each other and shouted in unison, "Run!"
They took off running. The taxi driver was stunned and quickly shouted, "Bastards, you didn’t pay, didn’t pay, you two thugs. Don’t let me see you again!"
The driver watched helplessly as they disappeared into the crowd, sighing about his bad luck. With no other option, he could only turn around and leave. Losing a few ten dollars wasn’t a big deal for him.
Ye Chen and Yang Guang ran into an alley, finding the situation somewhat hilarious that they could fall to such a state.
"It looks like the first thing we need to do is get some money!" Ye Chen laughed heartily.
"Exactly, without money we’re stuck!" Yang Guang nodded before gesturing Ye Chen to follow him with the crook of his finger, saying, "Come with me!"
