Chapter 17: Can’t catch up, can’t catch up at all!
The chief observed Lin Yang’s signal rapidly moved in the command centre, prompting an involuntary frown. The chief couldn’t comprehend the excessive speed, as the authorities hadn’t yet closed in. Perplexed, he considered the possibility of an insider in the Public Security Bureau but dismissed it as improbable. Instead, he reasoned that the kidnapper was experienced and crafty, initially explaining the confident sharing of coordinates.
Initially expecting an easy capture, the chief now found the situation troublesome. Puzzled by the high-speed movement on city streets, he speculated on the kidnapper’s motives and destination. The only viable action was to prevent the kidnapper from leaving West Sea City.
The director, contemplating the situation, took up the walkie-talkie and sternly commanded various units. Each unit was assigned specific tasks to intercept the kidnapper, highlighting the urgency and importance of the mission.
Meanwhile, Lin Yang, equipped with masterful driving skills, struggled to catch up with the swift motorcyclist. Despite his expertise, the biker proved elusive. Unbeknownst to Lin Yang, the motorcyclist, not a professional racer, was equally astonished by the relentless pursuit.
As sirens blared, signalling the police’s pursuit, the motorcyclist grew concerned. Lin Yang, on the other hand, gained confidence hearing the familiar sound, anticipating police assistance. However, the overwhelming number of sirens and the feeling of being surrounded puzzled him.
Dozens of motorcycles and several police cars joined the chase, creating a sense of siege. Near a bridge, multiple police cars emerged, nearly stopping the motorcyclist, leading Lin Yang to lament the challenging driving conditions. Online viewers were equally stunned by the unfolding events.

[Brothers, what the hell is going on? Why do I feel the police car is here to arrest Lin Yang?].
[Be confident. It’s not about feeling. It’s about being clear. Didn’t you realise that traffic police stopped all the robbers, and none were police cars? But all the police cars stopped Lin Yang!].
[Hiss… It’s messy. Who can tell me what happened? Why are there so many police cars? Who is the good guy??].
[Good guy?? At least, I think Lin Yang is not a good person now! He thought he was doing something good. I can’t wait to see the results.].
….
At this critical moment, only the netizens in the live broadcast room were privy to the truth, leaving Lin Yang oblivious to their comments. Unaware of the potential misunderstanding, he pondered the magnitude of the situation, realising that the commotion had drawn significant attention in West Sea City.
The pervasive wail of sirens resonated, prompting everyone nearby to pause and look curious. Mobile phones emerged, capturing the spectacle as people shared videos in various social circles, sparking discussions in forums, work groups, and more. The unprecedented sight of numerous police cars in action ignited a frenzy of posts on the local forum in West Sea City.
[Brothers, it’s time to eat melons. Something big has happened in our West Sea City. Look at this battle, it’s scary.].
[Damn it! What happened? No wonder I heard so many police cars and thought I had heard it wrong. This is too exaggerated.].
[It is estimated that some important person has come to our West Sea City. These police cars are all guarding the road.].
[Impossible, didn’t you see that there are still many people on the street, and you see, there are many police cars in front of them, chasing them, like arresting people.].
[My mother… What a big deal! Did you kill someone? Even killing people has never seen such a big battle.].
[Gossip, a locomotive and a domestic car are racing on the road. The speed is very fast, probably to catch them.].
[That’s not enough. Does it take such a large police force to catch a drag-racing gang? If you want me to say that nine out of ten are murderers!].
….
The news quickly circulated privately, with various rumours swirling about. Some claimed a high-ranking leader’s arrival, others mentioned a murderer, while there were also stories of robberies and drag racing. Speculation even included escorting missiles. Despite the confusion, no clear answers emerged until an aerial video surfaced.
The footage revealed a chaotic scene on the road, featuring a locomotive and a domestic Hongxia racing wildly. Police cars attempted to intercept, mainly targeting the red flags, but all efforts failed. A dozen police cars and numerous traffic police motorcycles pursued them, reminiscent of scenes from Fast and Furious. The reasons for such a massive police response remained unknown.
Amid radio reports of interception failures, Captain Xu in the monitoring room and the police station chief were puzzled by the unexpected police presence. Questions arose about the collaboration between the police station and the traffic police brigade. Captain Xu contacted the chief to seek clarification.
Simultaneously, the police station faced challenges as officers struggled to keep up with the high-speed pursuit. Frustration mounted as they realised the impossibility of catching the skilled driver. Wondering about the influx of traffic police, the chief received a call from Director Fang, revealing that the traffic police had joined in apprehending a drag racing gang. The chief, unaware of the kidnapping, expressed gratitude for the support.
Director Fang then disclosed that two racing parties were involved—one with a motorcycle and one with a car. This revelation shocked both parties as they realised the gravity of the situation. The chief clarified that there was only one kidnapper, prompting confusion about the role of the motorcycle in front. The conversation ended in silence as they processed the unexpected turn of events.
