Finn Lewis didn’t chase too close.

The two cars quickly drove out of Celeston City and headed straight for the suburbs, with several police cars in support trailing behind Finn’s car.

“Sir, I’ve scanned the police vehicles and helicopter.” Olivia Thatcher’s voice suddenly sounded. The sudden sound startled Leah Tyson, who almost jumped from her co-driver’s seat. However, she soon composed herself and stammered: “What…is this?”

“It’s my onboard computer. It controls almost everything in the car.” Finn gave a shrugged, briefly explaining to her.

“An onboard computer, why… why can it talk?” Leah hesitated for a moment and then whispered this question.

“Why not? Your car navigation can talk too.” Finn shrugged, causing Leah to be speechless. Is the vehicle navigation talking the same as this talking?

“Olivia, mark the police vehicles and the helicopters.” Finn thought for a moment before giving the instruction.

“Tagged.” With Olivia’s reply, more than a dozen vehicles and two helicopters marked in green appeared on the screen. Seeing those helicopters about to approach them, Finn looked at Leah beside him and said: “They probably don’t know exactly what weapons are inside that off-road vehicle. I think you’d better tell them. The helicopters should stay away.”

“Alright, I’ll call now.” Leah thought for a moment, then agreed, knowing Finn was right.

After all, they could be directly attacked, so Leah started contacting the police while Finn calmly followed them.

“How’s the situation?” In Celeston City, a middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.

“Report, Mr. White. We’ve largely got the situation under control. We’ve blocked the road ahead. If they don’t want to crash into our roadblocks, then their only option is to flee through these few roads. To avoid the criminals becoming desperate, we’ve left several roads open for their escape. But these roads all lead to remote places, so the risks can be minimized.” A policeman in his thirties promptly reported.

“Hmm, how are the roadblocks set up?” Christopher White gave a nod and asked.

“In order not to provoke the criminals, we used unconventional roadblocks such as damaged trees and cars parked directly on the road instead of our usual police roadblocks.” The police officer responded immediately.

“Well done. Now tell me about the pursuers. I heard Officer Tyson is following the criminals, correct?” Christopher White immediately asked.

“Yes, it’s this car.” The officer immediately gestured a younger colleague to bring up the live tracking feed. Soon the undercover car driven by Finn appeared on a large screen. Christopher White looked at it and frowned:

“Whose car is this?”

“It was temporarily requisitioned by Leah Tyson. It’s said to belong to corporation’s new CEO, a young man named Finn Lewis.” Although Finn’s license plate wasn’t obtained through the normal procedures, it was registered under his real name directly in the traffic police’s databases.

The person on the other side would have easily found out about Finn’s identity from the data. “What nonsense. Tell her to take their car and retreat. Don’t we have police cars following? Let her continue tracking in one of our cars.” Christopher White gave the order directly.

“That… might be difficult. Officer Tyson just notified us that Mr. Lewis’s car is very advanced. It has a tracking system that can lock onto the other vehicle. She also told us that his car is bulletproof and shouldn’t fear the other side’s firearms. However, she said the others have an RPG and advised us not to get too close.” The officer quickly explained.

“RPG?! How did such a weapon get into Celeston City?” Christopher White widened his eyes in surprise.

“We’re not sure yet.” The officer shook his head.

“Hmm, you just said they have an RPG, but their car is just bulletproof. Tell her to quickly bring their car back here and have our car take the lead. We can’t be using the vehicle of a civilian. We can’t risk them getting hurt!” Christopher White thought about it and said furrowing his brows.

“Yes, sir!” The officer immediately saluted and rushed off to convey the message to Leah.

“Mr. Lewis, it might be better for us to hang back?” Leah, having received the message from above, immediately turned to Finn with an uneasy look.

Finn Lewis looked up at the police car on the windshield and then furrowed his brows, “Why?”

“They… have heavy weaponry in their hands. It’s too dangerous to follow them this closely,” Leah Tyson shook her head.

“Don’t worry. Since I’ve caught up, we can’t pull back now. Can the police cars behind us keep up?” Finn raised an eyebrow as he asked.

Leah Tyson immediately glanced in the rearview mirror. Indeed, the police vehicles were falling far behind. She then subconsciously looked at the dashboard in front of Finn and realized with a start that the car was already traveling at over 210 kilometers per hour without her knowing.

No wonder the police cars were having difficulty keeping up. “The suspects’ vehicle is likely specially modified. Only our car can keep up with it,” Finn mused aloud.

“Alright,” Leah agreed after a moment of thought, nodding her head. She knew that at such high speeds, she’d have a hard time keeping up if she left the car. As a police officer, she didn’t want to fall behind.

“Reporting! Officer Tyson says the cars are now moving too fast. If they slow down, we’re likely to let the suspects escape due to our negligence. She believes their car may be specially modified.”

Christopher White furrowed his brows and then continued, “In that case, Officer Lewis, have the helicopter follow or deploy the drone to transmit real-time footage back to me.”

“Yes.” Bright Lewis saluted immediately before going off to relay the directives.

New footage was quickly transmitted back, likely from the helicopter. It showed the two cars tearing down the highway at speeds exceeding 200 kilometers per hour, their vehicles only about a hundred meters apart. The helicopter was trailing far behind them.

“How far to the end of this road?” Christopher asked, eyebrows furrowing as he looked at the footage.

“About 40 kilometers. There are dirt side roads along the way, but they can’t accommodate high speeds. This road is fairly secluded. After about 40 kilometers, it connects to another main road, which I’ve already had blocked off,” Bright reported swiftly.

“Tell them they only have 40 kilometers left to figure out a way to stop the suspects’ car,” Christopher said after some thought.

“Yes, we were just discussing that. We figure we’ll take action after five kilometers. Their current speed is too high. If we act now, a crash is likely, and the hostage’s safety cannot be guaranteed. The road conditions become quite poor after five kilometers. They’ll have to slow down,” Bright relayed.

“Good, prepare the sniper on the helicopter.” Christopher nodded.

“Yes, we’ll first try to blow up their tires to get them to stop. This high-speed chase could easily result in the hostages getting hurt,” Bright acknowledged.

“Sir, the road conditions 2,856 meters ahead are very bad. According to the current situation, the maximum speed can only be maintained at 80 kilometers per hour. Judging from the current situation, they may attack us when they slow down,” Olivia Thatcher informed them.

“Assess it,” Finn raised an eyebrow.

“No threat.”” Olivia responded immediately.

“Then, let’s keep up with them,” Finn nodded, just as Leah was about to speak, Finn’s words stopped her. After a moment’s hesitation, Leah said, “We should slow down a bit, so we can have more distance. The sniper in the helicopter behind us is preparing to shoot out their tires.”

Just as Leah finished speaking, the boot of the car in front of them suddenly swung open. Before Finn and Leah could react, a pillar of fire burst out from within.

“Swerve!” Leah’s pupils shrunk abruptly, and she screamed, instinctively reaching to grab the steering wheel from Finn. Meanwhile, back in the command center in Celeston City, everyone gasped in shock at the sight of the startling image transmitted from the high-definition camera on the helicopter – a towering pillar of fire blasting from the suspects’ vehicle towards Finn’s car!

All the people in the command center gasped in shock! Christopher even instinctively closed his eyes..
