437 Seeing Black (1/2)
They were stuck in traffic and changing their route when Anthony received an update on where the target was from hacking into the system.
Jennifer's kidnapping vehicle would move every now and then. Since they had no detailed images to help them put things into perspective, they had no idea what exactly was happening at the moment. No matter what, judging purely by the transfer frequency and the distance compared to the first location, Jennifer sure was having fun out there. She seemed to be speeding a little too…
”That's why I said I hate driving during the day.” Ye Shuang was irritated as she was stuck at the red light. ”Why don't we call Brother Yao and get his team to clear the way for us?”
Han Chu ignored her as he was busy mocking Anthony. ”Didn't you treat the traffic lights like light switches at home? Why are you behaving like a coward at such a critical time?”
”Who asked you to put Albert in San Lin City?” Anthony felt wronged. ”He's waiting to dig up dirt on me, so I'm afraid that he might capture me if I even spit on the street…”
Why had the crime rate in America stayed so high? Apart from their society's system, in reality, it was related to their perspective and cultural environment.
Fighting on the streets was common in China. There would be a few cases every day no matter which city it was. Unless somebody died, otherwise, it would be treated as nothing. What everyone wanted was to avoid trouble and to be at peace with each other.
It was a different case for foreign countries. One would be arrested when one had a sip of beer in public places. They would be taken to the court, and they would get a criminal record unless the person hired a lawyer to strike it off for them. Otherwise, even applying for loan would be a trouble due to the dirt on their record.
Therefore, although America had a high crime rate, the main reason was because of the crime threshold being set too low. If they looked at the serious cases, most of the criminals were rather naive. Nine out of ten of them were dumb robbers, whereby some of them even went to the wrong bank during their heist.
It was different for China, where the rate was slowly rising. Although the number of criminal records looked low, there were cases of all kinds hiding among the people. The pushy salesmen and gangsters could kill foreigners anytime, let alone the ancient frauds such as a staged crash and sex scams…
Anthony was an electronics expert, ad not many people could find dirt on him. However, for his nationality, it was too easy for one to find any excuse to capture him. Drinking and smoking in public, speeding, and other little things might be a risk to him.
Ever since Albert moved to San Lin City and got a local cooperation permit, he had gained the advantage of watching Anthony closer. Before making sure that Albert left the country after he was done with his job, Anthony had decided to behave. Apart from using the surveillance techniques that he could totally explain himself, he would avoid changing the lights as much as he could to avoid leaving a trail and offending the hound.
”Get Brother Yao. Otherwise, we might really lose them.” Ye Shuang was still complaining.
Han Chu was in a pickle. ”Yao Zhixing isn't someone from the same industry. Forget it, let's not drag him into such murky water…”
Anthony snapped his fingers and waved the phone in his hand high up before Han Chu managed to finish what he was saying. ”Okay, I've already sent the text. He said he has arranged someone to block the roads. I'll send the updated map over at the same time.”
Han Chu was befuddled. When did he send the text?
