At that moment, the sky unexpectedly began to drizzle.

Gu Ji raised an eyebrow.

Because with the rain, the traffic on the streets would increase, but at the same time, it would somewhat limit the tracking ability of the helicopter, which could be considered more advantageous than not.

Thinking of this, Gu Ji accelerated rapidly through the alley and onto the main road, planning to first break through the police encirclement, then head to a bustling area, using the skyscrapers to evade the helicopter’s cameras.

It seemed like the heavens were on his side as well.

The rain grew heavier, lightning streaked across the sky, followed by peals of thunder.

In the United States, the traffic, like in Xia Kingdom, moves on the right side, with the steering wheel on the left, so Gu Ji had no need to adjust. After turning two blocks, he was about to enter the central avenue of Queens District.

This was similar to a city ring expressway back home, with eight lanes in both directions. The speed limit was usually 65 to 80 miles, which is 105 to 129 kilometers per hour, conveniently leading towards Southwest Brooklyn.

At the command center, Mr. York was anxiously staring at the monitoring footage from the helicopter, when suddenly his body tensed slightly, and his steps involuntarily slowed, his expression changing drastically.

The capture plan was about to go wrong!

According to the police force he had deployed, the central avenue was the only weak point.

Because it was an interstate highway, the traffic was complicated, making it difficult to set up a roadblock.

And as long as one wasn’t a fool, generally, no one would choose to flee south.

New York is a coastal city, with the south being the coastline. Only by heading north could one retreat deep inland to evade capture.

And Baron’s various actions had long proven that he wasn’t a novice offender.

“Could this kid have anticipated my capture plan in advance?”

Mr. York gritted his teeth, gripping the walkie-talkie tightly.

Since this morning’s subway explosion, he had been led by the nose by this Baron. The other party seemed to possess some magic, always managing to stay one step ahead of them, outsmarting the police force.

“I can’t believe it! Twenty-eight years on the force and yet a kid manages to outsmart me!”

Mr. York picked up the walkie-talkie: “Central Avenue! Central Avenue! Nevia, immediately send additional patrol cars to set up roadblocks at various tighter points on Central Avenue. We must trap him in Queens District!!”

The moment he finished speaking.

Gu Ji had already accelerated onto Central Avenue in the northern part of Queens, right before the police cars could intercept him.

The patrol cars quickly changed direction, giving chase.

“HNX-9540 ahead, stop immediately! I’ll warn you one more time, pull over right now!!”

Bang! Clang!

The livestream viewers, though unable to see the footage, heard the warning blaring from the police car’s loudspeaker and the sound of bullets hitting the car’s body.

[Damn! This is intense!]

[666, this scene is just like a Hollywood blockbuster!]

[I’m so anxious! Does anyone know where to watch the footage, I really want to see the third-party capture angle!]

[Why don’t you ask the police for it!]

[Can the streamer really get away? Maybe it’s better to surrender!]

…

Facing the pistol fire, Gu Ji swiftly turned the wheel to the left, floored the accelerator, overtook the car, then quickly steered right, executing a figure-eight maneuver, weaving past two cars, and hiding in front of a large truck on the far right side of the road.

“Beep! Beep——!”

“Vroom!”

The truck and the other overtaken vehicles all honked repeatedly. They were probably cursing him and his family, because in this rainy weather, visibility was already poor, and with so many cars on the road, Gu Ji’s aggressive overtaking was naturally very dangerous.

But then, overhead, came another helicopter.

Gu Ji initially thought it was an additional airborne reconnaissance team from the police due to the weather; unexpectedly, the paint on the helicopter’s side read “NYDN”.

New York Daily News!

One of the top three news media outlets in the United States, incredibly influential, and to boost their news exposure, they directly dispatched a media helicopter to follow.

New York is already centered on “money”.

Now the topic of “live broadcasting the bombing incident” had soared up the trending lists. It was only 8 o’clock, but Gu Ji’s livestream already surpassed 7,000 views. The entire internet was clamoring for a live broadcast of the footage.

How could New York Daily News resist biting into this big piece of cake?

In an instant, even the viewers from the Tik livestream were redirected to NYDN’s website live stream.

Through the helicopter’s aerial shots, the audience finally saw Gu Ji driving a yellow taxi, fiercely competing with a police car along Central Avenue.

Shit!

Gu Ji couldn’t help but curse internally.

It was hard enough to evade the police helicopter, and now another one appeared. He pressed the accelerator fully again, the car engine roaring, propelling him forward.

Three cars were blocking ahead side by side; he turned right into the emergency lane, speeding past the line, with a straight shot of acceleration, executing another beautiful figure-eight maneuver, snaking between two sedans, narrowly slipping through.

Once he veered into the fast lane, he continued to speed up, pressing the pedal to 180 mph, finally leaving the police car far behind.

Until a diagonal block appeared ahead.

Gu Ji turned right again to the maximum, crossing four lanes into the emergency lane once more, madly overtaking the entire way, never dropping below 120 mph.

At this point, the police cars had completely disappeared from view.

The discussion in NYDN’s live chat became even more heated. With the footage available, it had a wider audience in the United States—not only young people who loved watching live streams but also many middle-aged white-collar workers who loved the news.

Just when everyone thought the streamer had successfully escaped, not far past an on-ramp, a police car suddenly jumped out ahead, screeching to a halt and using its rear to block Gu Ji’s car head-on.

Boom——!

Gu Ji felt the car jolt, a massive vibration transmitting from his arms to his head, slamming his head against the seat’s headrest, and bouncing back like a pendulum. The car’s front end uncontrollably veered left, spinning around, while the police car plunged uncontrollably into the gravel embankment at the side.
