Xie Lei altered the patrol route of the entire city to create a safe passage to the southern suburbs of Ber for Jiang Chen and the others. Because of the city-wide lockdown, the major roads in the city were severely congested.
Therefore, Xie Lei hacked into the highway traffic system and disabled the traffic lights on the nearby main roads. He moved the traffic away from Jiang Chen and the others to avoid congestion on the escape route.
"The checkpoint two kilometers southeast of you has been evacuated. I ordered them to change shifts."
Ever since he was recruited by Jiang Chen, it had been a long time since he was able to use his black technology so freely.
"Pick a few random checkpoints in the North and West districts to carry out similar operations. This is to prevent suspicion from being too obvious."
"Understood!"
"Also, don't have too much fun."
"Understood!"
After he hung up the phone, Jiang Chen looked at Ayesha through the rearview mirror.
"Ayesha, did you turn off the GPS?"
"It's been turned off," Ayesha answered seriously with her hands on the steering wheel.
"Excellent."
Jiang Chen signaled Evelyn to be quiet before he took out his phone and called Carmen Rothschild.
…
"I need an explanation."
Carmen's face was dark as he looked at Johnson, who was standing in front of him with his head lowered and didn't dare to breathe loudly.
Seeing that Johnson didn't respond, Carmen continued.
"I waited until now just for the news of a terrorist attack at the University of Ber library. Where is Evelyn? Life and death unknown? That's not the result I want. I want the deputy prime minister to die in Ber! Not to fight against us in the next prime minister election. "
"I'm very sorry!" Johnson lowered his head.
Carmen seemed to realize he was too emotional as he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"I don't want to hear your apology. I need an explanation."
"Our people exchanged fire with the deputy prime minister's bodyguards at the University of Ber …"
"And then?"
"In the first-floor lobby of the library, our people killed the last three bodyguards around Evelyn. Evelyn escaped into the library, then we lost contact … "A drop of cold sweat appeared on Johnson's forehead.
"We lost contact, then there was an explosion." Carmen sighed and poured himself another glass of red wine. "Do those idiots know what they've done?"
Swirling the bright red wine, he looked at the reflection of the handsome face in the glass.
The GPS signals of the two Mercedes-Benz cars were lost in the basement of the library. It seemed that the two cars were buried under the rubble.
[This is going to be difficult …] He asked Jiang Chen to wait for someone to pick him up at the library garage, but he didn't expect the library to explode. Anyone would suspect that this was a premeditated assassination, which would undoubtedly cause a rift in the relationship between the two sides.
Instinct told him that Jiang Chen didn't die in the explosion.
Carmen couldn't help but feel a headache. It was a complete accident that Jiang Chen was involved. He couldn't think of a way to explain this.
However, he would never have thought that the explosion was self-directed.
Because Jiang Chen didn't have the motivation to do so, and he didn't have the prerequisites to carry explosives. Explosives that could collapse an entire building were not something that could be easily bought.
The only conclusion Carmen could come up with was: Evelyn was hiding in the west wing of the library, and the Willie Society gunmen who couldn't find him chose to blow up the entire building in order to end the battle as quickly as possible. If it was the Willie Society, they did have the ability to blow up a building.
But that didn't explain why the Willie Society gunmen lost contact after the explosion.
Unless, the perpetrator of the explosion was someone else, and their target was Jiang Chen? But because of coincidence, he didn't know if Jiang Chen was killed or not, but the Willie Society gunmen he sent to kill Evelyn were also buried alive.
Just then, Carmen's phone on the table rang.
Looking at the caller on the screen, his eyebrows visibly twitched. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still picked up the phone.
Without any preamble, as soon as the call connected, Jiang Chen's angry roar came from the other side.
"Mr. Rothschild, I want to know what is going on. If I didn't happen to be in the car, if my bodyguard didn't react fast enough, if I didn't happen to be only two meters away from the garage door, I would've been buried alive! "
"Please … Mhmm, please calm down, my friend." Carmen tried to calm Jiang Chen down, but Jiang Chen, who just "survived," didn't listen to him.
"Friend? Is this how the Rothschild family treats their guests? "
"Where are you now, I'll send someone to pick you up-"
"Haha, no need to trouble you, my trip to Frankberg ended early. I'll leave Frankberg tonight, in my own way! I'll be on the plane back home tomorrow morning. "
"I'm very sorry, my friend. Please believe me, I'll give you a satisfactory explanation, "Carmen closed his eyes and said politely.
"I hope so."
Jiang Chen hung up the phone.
Carmen took a deep breath and put the phone on the table.
"Boss, we …"
"It's useless to explain anything at this time. Let's put his business aside for now … Also, compared to the relationship with Future Group, we have more important things to do." Carmen quickly adjusted his emotions and said in a calm tone.
…
After he hung up the phone, Jiang Chen felt relieved. He didn't know if his act successfully fooled the little fox of the Rothschild family, but he did what he needed to do.
The rest was up to luck.
"Frankberg has been completely locked down, but it's only been two hours since the incident. The long border can't be completely locked down in such a short period of time. We'll use a small path to pass through the Frankberg border. If nothing goes wrong, we won't encounter too many obstacles. "
"If we encounter a checkpoint … then we'll just break through."
Fortunately, Jiang Chen and the others didn't encounter a checkpoint. They used a dirt road to pass through the Frankberg border without any problems. Although they were a little on edge along the way, they managed to avoid it without any mishap.
Two Mercedes-Benz stopped at the Frankberg border. The group chose to abandon the car and cross the border on foot. Jiang Chen purposely stayed a few steps behind the group and threw the two Mercedes-Benz into the storage dimension to erase the traces.
When it was almost dawn, the group finally exited the mountain road and arrived at a small town west of Schalnitz, Austria.
"I'll drop you off here. You'll have to rely on yourself for the rest of the journey." After passing through the forest, Jiang Chen looked at Evelyn who was panting on the ground.
For a politician who sat in the office for a long time, the outdoor activity of crossing the mountains was a bit difficult.
"No problem … Can I borrow two hundred euros from you? I'll need a ride, "Evelyn said shamelessly.
Jiang Chen took out a few bills from his pocket and threw them beside him.
Evelyn, who was sitting on the ground, grinned and took the bills.
"I wish you good luck. I hope you don't let my investment go to waste."
"Don't worry."
Reading the seriousness in Evelyn's eyes, Jiang Chen nodded, turned around, and called Ayesha and the four bodyguards to leave first.
He had already done everything he could.
As to whether Evelyn could stop Rothschild's plan, it had nothing to do with him.
