"Move, move, move, drive!"
Several robbers quickly got into the getaway car, slammed the doors shut, and tried to leave, but at that moment...
*Bang!*
A hand suddenly reached out from the side, blocking the car door.
Bai Ye tilted his head and said with a smile, "Hi, good evening!"
The robbers inside were stunned, and then...
*Bang!*
Bai Ye punched one of them directly in the face, breaking his nose. Blood sprayed everywhere. Bai Ye then smoothly slid into the car and pulled the door shut.
The remaining two robbers reacted and immediately raised their guns to aim at Bai Ye. But the moment they raised their guns, Bai Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed the barrels.
*Creak!*
With a strong twist, Bai Ye bent the barrels into a "U" shape. Then, grabbing both robbers by their collars, he lifted them upwards, smashing their heads against the car roof with a clang. Both of them instantly fainted.
The robber driving the car was clearly a novice, fumbling to pull out his gun. Bai Ye wasn't in a hurry, sitting in the back seat and waiting for the driver to pull out his pistol and aim it at him.
Bai Ye said, "Your safety isn't off!"
The robber quickly flipped the safety off, but the moment he did, Bai Ye reached out, grabbed the gun, snatched it away, and then pressed the muzzle to the driver's head.
Bai Ye said, "If you don't want your head blown off, keep driving."
The robber hesitated for a moment, then obediently turned around and drove forward.
After driving about a hundred meters, the robber asked, "Where are we going? The Bureau of Investigation?"
Bai Ye couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry, I'm not interested in dispensing justice. I just want a joyride. So, just drive wherever you want."
The robber was stunned. "Aren't you that guy who's rumored to appear at night?"
Bai Ye asked curiously, "Which guy?"
The robber said, "There's a rumor about someone wearing a black cape, a bat mask, and driving a black modified sports car. He often appears at night to catch criminals. People in the city call him Batman."
"Do I look like I have a cape, a mask, and a sports car?" Bai Ye chuckled. "Just keep driving."
The robber stopped talking and drove obediently.
Bai Ye glanced at the three unconscious men beside him. "Which one is your boss?"
The robber driving said, "Duck."
Bai Ye nodded, pulled over the man wearing the duck mask, took off the mask, took a sip of water, and then...
*Pfft!*
Bai Ye spat the water in his face.
The man slowly opened his eyes, not yet fully awake, when Bai Ye grabbed him by the throat.
"Listen carefully, I'll only say this once," Bai Ye said. "It's question time. I ask, you answer. If you're not good, or you don't answer well..."
Bai Ye suddenly grabbed one of the unconscious robbers and smashed his head against the car window.
With a shatter, the car window broke into pieces. Then, with a forceful push, Bai Ye shoved the robber out of the window, sending him crashing heavily onto the ground.
A scream immediately rang out.
Bai Ye smiled. "This is your fate. Understand?"
The robber, whose throat was being choked, nodded frantically.
Bai Ye released him. "Name?"
"Loria Basten. We're Penguin's subordinates. The money and jewels are in the bags. If you want drugs, there's half a packet in the trunk."
Good heavens, he spilled everything just by asking for a name?
Bai Ye shook his head. "I don't want any of that."
Loria asked confusedly, "Then what do you want?"
Bai Ye said, "I want explosives. You guys can get firearms, so you should be able to get explosives, right?"
Loria asked, "C4?"
Bai Ye replied, "Sure."
Loria said, "That's a bit difficult."
Bai Ye opened the car door and shoved Loria's head out, almost touching the ground, while pressing down on his neck.
"Yes, yes, yes..." Loria shouted, "Give me three hours!"
Bai Ye said, "Remote-controlled. At least five."
Loria said, "Okay, okay!"
Bai Ye pulled Loria back and casually tossed him aside. "Three hours. The countdown starts now."
Loria cowered in the corner, trembling. He dared not say no. This guy was definitely ruthless. In fact, Loria felt this guy was even more ruthless than his boss, the Penguin. His boss wouldn't just throw someone out of a car without a word; he'd at least threaten them first.
...
The City of Vice, Bureau of Investigation.
Gordon was the director of the City of Vice. Although he held a high position, everyone knew that being the director of the City of Vice was no easy job.
The city was teeming with criminals, and some of them even took pride in being outlaws. Especially when night fell, it became a lawless land.
Gordon mused as he looked out the window.
Inside the towering hotels, the rich and famous partied all night, reveling in luxury. The streets were dark, filled with villains, and violence ran rampant.
This was a deformed city.
Did he truly have the ability to change all of this?
Gordon didn't want to think about it, because the answer scared him.
He could only do his best, even if it was futile. Some things had to be done by someone, for justice, for hope.
For the day when the sun would finally rise.
*Ring, ring...*
At that moment, the phone on Gordon's desk suddenly rang, pulling him out of his thoughts.
"Hello?"
"Is this Director Gordon? Hello, my name is Bai Ye!" Bai Ye said with a smile. "I'd like to make a deal with you. You arrested six criminals today, who are accused of robbery and assault, and were carrying drugs. They are currently being processed for transfer to prison. I want you to release them within half an hour. In exchange, I will spare the hard-working agents in the Bureau of Investigation."
Gordon frowned. "Son, your voice sounds very young. Do you know that making prank calls to the Bureau of Investigation is a crime?"
Bai Ye asked, "You don't agree?"
Gordon replied, "We will never tolerate or let criminals go. You should also be careful not to make a mistake and embark on a path of crime."
"Okay, I will heed your advice." Bai Ye smiled. "We'll see each other again later."
*Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep...*
After speaking, Bai Ye hung up the phone.
Gordon looked at the receiver, frowning. The other party's voice sounded young and didn't sound menacing. Was it just a prank?
It was hard to say in the City of Vice...
The last thing they lacked was lunatics!
"Radley!" Gordon thought for a moment, then picked up the phone. "Remember those scumbags we arrested this morning? Send more people to guard them."
