MM Racing Chapter 551 - 548 Plan
Chapter 551 - 548 Plan
In the hotel, after adjusting all the equipment and confirming there were no problems, Richard and the others, who were preparing to rest, suddenly heard an urgent knocking at the door.
The people sitting around inside the room felt their hearts skip a beat as they exchanged glances, wondering what the situation might be, when the urgent knocking emphasized the unkind intentions of the visitor.
The visitor shouted in broken English, "Open up, police!
"Got that on video too!" Jerry yelled.
The scene was chaotic. Three policemen were surrounded by seven or eight people, unable to reach Jerret.
Helplessly, after uttering a few harsh words, the three could only skulk away dejectedly.
Had they failed?
Had Richard and the others succeeded?
Neither.
After the uniformed men left, silence once again descended upon the scene.
Why had the police suddenly come?
Without a doubt, Bi Fang and his two companions hadn’t completely concealed themselves. The villagers had been drawn to the anomaly and reported it, thus prompting the police’s surprise inspection.
Was the police’s purpose to take them away?
No, that might have been one of their objectives, but they had already confirmed who it was that had or hadn’t left.
Mandy, gasping for breath, scratched her head, "Sorry, I didn’t make it in time."
Real life, after all, cannot be like a movie with a perfectly timed rescue. If the two of them could have returned just five minutes earlier, perhaps none of this would have happened.
Richard shook his head, "Let’s go to sleep early. We’ll talk about this tomorrow."
The next day.
As expected, someone came looking for them.
It was a few minor officials from Taiji Town, holding something that looked like record sheets, stopping Richard and indicating they had some questions to ask.
Inside the camera lens, Jerret and the others recorded everything. In the dim footage, only the faint sounds of the conversation between the two could be heard.
A skinny, middle-aged man with glasses smiled, "A very strange phenomenon, in the dead of night, around dawn, three people in black... I think they must be... "
"Those were members of OPS, OPS members, the Ocean Protection Association, and we have nothing to do with them."
"It’s not me, I was asleep in the middle of the night."
"He says he doesn’t know, he was sleeping at that time." The interrogator relayed the conversation to the other two in Japanese.
The other two displayed awkward, not polite, smiles.
"Then your two... "
"I don’t know, I can’t speak for OPS, I can only represent Richard, no one but myself... "
"I was asleep at night, I’m not a member of OPS, whenever someone wants to talk to me, I talk, like about mercury poisoning."
"He’s talking about mercury poisoning again..."
An ineffective conversation.
No matter the question, Richard knew nothing.
The officials left.
Jerret took off his headset and threw it on the table, pinching the bridge of his nose, "They’re trying to divert attention."
The situation was more difficult than he had imagined.
This morning, Richard and his group discovered that, in addition to recorded broadcasts, three or four live transmission devices were missing their feed.
While not many, the message conveyed was decidedly bad.
The opposition was already checking, and all they could hope for was that the electrical expert and Bi Fang’s camouflage was strong enough to convincingly muddle the truth.
"Where’s Bi Fang?"
"He’s already started a live broadcast. Today is the fourth day of the Hunting Season, and his rank has slipped to third place."
Mond opened Bi Fang’s live broadcast video on the side, where an official real-time ranking was marked clearly.
Bi Fang’s rank had dropped from first place the day before yesterday to third place.
No one was idle during rest time.
Amidst the jungle, a somewhat tired Bi Fang yawned and, reinvigorating his spirit, headed deeper into the forest.
