Chapter 180 Dark City
Chapter 180 Dark City
Westfield Mall, downtown Detroit.
Bourne used a flashlight to illuminate a section of unlit road.
What were these car rental companies thinking, opening up in the basement parking lot of an abandoned shopping mall?
You save the cost of care, but the person renting the car still has to travel so far. Don’t you know that the customer is God?
Bad review!
If it weren't for Jasmine's strong recommendation, saying that this car rental company has been operating in Detroit for many years and offers a wide range of services, I would not have taken the risk of going to the city center to rent a car.
Bourne was thinking about something else while walking along the wall and avoiding the small puddles on the ground. He didn't notice that there was a car coming from behind in the distance.
When Bourne noticed the glaring headlights shining from behind and heard the roar of the other party's engine, he knew that the other party had no intention of slowing down.
So he hurriedly ran forward a few steps, trying to leave the area as soon as possible to avoid the splashing water that was about to come and was likely to happen.
However, it was still a step too late.
A car sped past his body, its tires running over the bumpy ground, and dirty water of indecipherable color splashed onto his trouser legs.
"FXXK YOU!"
Even though Bourne had been reading the Covenant for several months and felt that he was very well-mannered, he couldn't help but curse when faced with such a situation!
Damn it, this is the only pair of pants I own!
This damn Detroit is a dark city. The quality of everyone you meet is so low.
"laugh--"
With a sharp brake sound, the car suddenly stopped in front. The driver opened the door and walked towards Bourne angrily.
This guy was wearing a werewolf mask and his face couldn't be seen clearly, but the crowbar in his hand and the pistol on his waist showed that he definitely had bad intentions.
Sure enough, the other party opened his mouth and said, "Outsider, you just scolded me, didn't you? I'll pull out your tongue!"
Bourne narrowed his eyes and turned off the camera light on his phone, returning the corridor to darkness.
"what?!"
"Boom!"
"oops!"
"Ping ping pong pong!"
"You, how dare you..."
"Snap, snap, snap, snap!"
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
Continue the beating.
"Just say something! I'm so wrong, I'm sorry! I still have things to do, please let me go! Woohoo, I'm going to be rich, I don't want to die!"
"Pooh!"
Bourne spat on the ground, loosened the masked man's collar, and threw the guy into the puddle on the ground.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The werewolf-masked man lay on his back in the puddle, uttering a wail of humiliation, with crystal tears streaming down his eyes.
Who would have thought that if you just bully a foreigner you would run into such a tough guy!
It's not that I'm a coward and I don't even dare to say harsh words. I'm willing to be beaten. It's just that I'm going to collect the ransom soon. They're all bearer bonds and I'm going to issue them. How can I care about such a small matter as being beaten?
I hope he will leave when he is tired of beating me, and don’t take the fake schoolbag I used to switch the bags in the car, and don’t open it to look, otherwise I will kill you even if it hurts!
Bourne looked at the motionless man in the werewolf mask on the ground in surprise. He wondered how this guy could have so many thoughts in such a short period of time.
But even if he knew, Bourne wouldn't care, because he is a person who doesn't like to meddle in other people's affairs. If it weren't for his profession, he would rather be a stay-at-home.
"Okay, since you've been a good kid, I'll forgive you this time. Remember to drive slower next time to avoid getting beaten!"
Bourne pulled the pistol from the werewolf-masked man's waist, put it in his pocket, and drove away without even looking at the other man's car.
This made the werewolf masked man breathe a sigh of relief. He waited until Bourne walked away before he struggled to get up from the ground, enduring the severe pain all over his body, and limped towards his car.
"Damn you, you outsider. Next time I see you, I'll just hit you to death! Ouch, that hurts! This bastard is so cruel!"
However, when he saw a cute black and white panda hard-shell trolley backpack on the passenger seat, he finally felt relieved.
Okay, okay, as long as you are here, it will be much easier to deceive those three guys with more muscles than brains.
Don't you think that it's so easy to get FIRM's bonds? And the mysterious phone call, I think it was someone inside their company who did it.
We were tricked into kidnapping the daughter of the company's accountant, and those behind the scenes would definitely rob us of our fellow criminals after getting the bonds. Hehe, you could never have imagined that I would get a batch of fake bonds in advance!
Haha, I really am a genius!
The man in the werewolf mask showed a smug smile on his face. At this moment, the phone rang. He picked up the phone and heard the angry voice of his accomplice:
"Damn it, I told you to get a car, where were you? That chick is almost here to get the ransom!"
The werewolf masked man replied helplessly: "I was beaten up and I just got in the car."
"What? You've been discovered?" the other end of the phone exclaimed, "Do we need to change the transaction location?"
"No, I'm in the underground parking lot of the shopping mall and will be there soon!"
"What's going on? Hey, come back after you've explained clearly, and don't bring your tail with you!"
"He was a foreigner, and he seemed to be renting a car. I splashed water on him while driving, and he scolded me. I wanted to teach him a lesson, but... "
"Hahahaha!"
The sound of three people laughing came from the other end of the phone, which made the man in the werewolf mask very unhappy. He said, "After we finish this job, you two will go to the underground car rental company with me, find that foreigner, and kill him!"
"Okay, okay, come back soon, hahaha!"
The man in the werewolf mask put down the phone, a fierce gleam in his eyes.
You dare to laugh at me? After I take revenge on that outsider, you will all be my scapegoats!
Feeling indignant, the werewolf-masked man quickly drove the car to where his three companions were, a video store called "Disc Beast" on the basement floor of Westfield Shopping Center.
At this time, also in an office on the basement floor of Westfield Shopping Center, Bourne met a staff member on duty from the taxi company.
It was a young man wearing headphones, as young as Bourne.
The young man seemed a bit introverted. He communicated with Bourne through pen and paper. He didn't take off the headphones on his ears. What Bourne could hear was not music, but a conversation? Or was it a movie dialogue?
Bourne didn't listen carefully and didn't ask. This was someone else's privacy. As long as the service was good, who cared how they served him?
It seemed that the young man rarely met a guest as easy to talk to as Bourne. He was obviously much more enthusiastic towards Bourne and took Bourne to see more than ten cars.
Not only that, he also lent Bourne a palm-sized notebook, which recorded the information of all the cars here, including the advantages and disadvantages of each car.
The cars recommended to Bourne had the most detailed information, and it was clear that the young man was serious about the job and was a car enthusiast!
Bourne was very satisfied, but in the end he chose neither the Suburban, which was used exclusively by the FBI, nor the Escalade, which was used exclusively by drug dealers. Instead, he chose a Volkswagen Golf.
This kind of car was often driven by his sister and brother-in-law in his previous life, but they have never driven it again since they traveled to this world.
Today, when I saw this young man who seemed to have hearing problems and had a somewhat withdrawn personality, I couldn’t help but think of every little thing about his past life, and I was moved.
But just when he had completed the formalities and was about to take the car keys from the young man, he heard a few dull gunshots from afar!
This damn place, I can hear gunshots everywhere. It's such a dark city!
