It would be best to keep everything within New York City, in case the robbers escaped into Nassau County, and the Nassau County police would get involved.
Luke felt lucky when he looked at the busy road.
Thankfully, he had left a backup plan on the robbers' cars, or there might have been a series of car accidents in the traffic.
He wasn't Worthburn, who didn't want to cause a series of car accidents at all.
Bell was bored in the car. She turned on the radio, and a rap song with a dirty rhythm and lyrics came on.
Elsa said helplessly, "Bell, can you switch it to the local news? Maybe we'll hear news about the robbers. "
Bell agreed. She had been screwed over by the robbers, and she couldn't let them go.
Luke, however, was amused.
Elsa didn't need to get the news from the radio at all, because he was monitoring the bug, and everything was under his control.
She just didn't want to listen to the rap song.
Luke still had his headphones on and listened to what was going on in the receiver.
At 9: 45, an hour after the banks opened for business, a piece of news appeared on the radio. "A bank on East 35th Street in Queens has been robbed again. Four robbers are playing hide-and-seek with the police in their BMW 760Li. Oh, oh, dear listeners, you didn't hear wrong. The audacious robbers have appeared again. They actually succeeded three times in a week. By conservative estimates, they've robbed more than ten million dollars. What a bunch of greedy robbers … "
From the announcer's tone, Luke could tell that he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he seemed to be gloating.
Most importantly, it was the banks that had been robbed. It wasn't a big deal for the capitalists to be robbed, and it wouldn't affect the general public's savings.
More importantly, the robbers had only knocked out two crooked guards and damaged some decorations in the bank. They hadn't hurt any ordinary people.
They were after the money, and weren't interested in ordinary people at all as long as they didn't interfere with the operation.
Luke looked at Elsa and asked, "Is there still no news from the boss?"
Elsa was also fidgeting a little.
It all depended on NYPD's reaction whether they got the meat or the soup.
She looked at the phone in her hand and found that the signal was good, but there was no activity.
She exhaled and shook her head. "Just wait patiently."
She looked at Luke and saw that he was playing with a baseball. "Are you still training your fingers?"
Luke smiled. "That's right. You have to keep it up all the time."
Then, it was another half an hour of waiting.
Luke suddenly said, "They're almost here, Elsa."
Elsa was finally anxious. She called Dustin. "Boss, is there still no news? The fish on our side are about to escape. "
Dustin said helplessly, "We're still talking. I'll inform you as soon as I hear anything. Remember, don't use your gun without my permission, understand? "
Elsa said, "Understood."
After hanging up, Luke shrugged. "Let's wait. Someone else is more anxious than we are."
Suddenly, he heard gunshots in his earpiece. Luke frowned. "Elsa, do you hear anything? Like gunshots?"
Elsa opened the window and listened. She then said solemnly, "Yes. They're on our way here. Could it be …"
Listening to the noise in his earpiece, Luke thought quickly and said, "Bell, drive back slowly. Don't go too fast."
Bell hummed an "oh" and drove back at normal speed.
They were stuck in a traffic jam three hundred meters away.
A large truck was parked horizontally on the road, blocking the entire road.
Bell was surprised. "WTF? What's going on? "
Then, gunshots rang out again, and she was so scared that she quickly braked.
Luke frowned and took a deep breath. A moment later, he opened the door and got out. "Bell, stay back. I'll let you know if I need a car."
Elsa reacted quickly and got out too. "What's going on?"
Luke led Elsa to the side. Looking at the truck, he said in a low voice, "It's Sergei. He brought his men to stop the four long-legged men. "
Stumped for a moment, Elsa grew anxious. "How many of them are there?"
Luke said, "It's a business worth at least ten million. How many do you think Sergei will use?"
Elsa said, "… Considering how awesome he is, he'll probably use more than half of them. Are there thirty? "
Luke nodded. "It'll only be more, not less. So, here's the question. What should we do? Those robbers are about to be killed. "
To make it easier for them to retreat, the robbers didn't have any heavy firepower except for their pistols. They had already abandoned the automatic rifles that they had used during the bank robbery.
They were in an awkward situation at this moment.
On the other side, there were more than thirty armed gang members with automatic rifles, and they were beating them until they covered their heads and fled like rats. They didn't even dare to take the car anymore.
Of course, it was also possible that they were afraid that the money inside would be exposed if the car was destroyed.
So, the robbers could only fight back as they retreated.
Thankfully, Sergei had simply blocked the road with the truck so that they wouldn't be able to take advantage of their driving skills. They were surrounded by cars at this moment.
The cars provided cover for them, but they couldn't escape with the cars that were jammed.
They were even more reluctant to part with the money in the first car.
However, there were too many of Sergei's men.
The thirty or so armed bandits didn't care. They chased after them crazily, and with their numbers advantage, they soon surrounded them.
After all, the robbers weren't as strong as men, and they were wearing high heels. It was impossible for them to run fast.
Seeing that Elsa was still hesitating, Luke said, "I'll go over and stall them."
Stumped for a moment, Elsa asked anxiously, "Are you crazy? There are more than thirty armed gangsters. Also, we don't have authorization. You'll be in big trouble if you shoot. "
Luke chuckled. "I never said that I was going to stall them. Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. If you get the authorization, remember to inform me. "
As he spoke, he quickly left the road and approached the battlefield from one side. He had already put on a pair of thin gloves from his pocket.
When he passed by the truck, he quickly stood on the footboard outside the driver's compartment and looked inside, just in time to see the driver.
Luke said with a smile, "Hi, do you need help?"
The driver had an ominous glint in his eyes as he raised the gun in his hand.
