Zack ignored him and walked out quickly without looking back.
As he hurriedly passed through the office area, he attracted curious glances from over a dozen employees, who didn't know what was happening.
"Brothers, Strong-zun is about to run away," Elliot said with a smile.
[I've already called the police, and the authorities will be here soon. Strong-zun can't escape,] a netizen named 'Serene Heart' said in the bullet chat.
In the live broadcast room, several netizens had already called the police.
...
Zack ran out of the company building in a panic, came to the underground parking garage, got into a black sedan, and drove out onto the street.
"Strong-zun is driving away, brothers. Have you noted down the license plate number? Help send it to the authorities," Elliot said with a smile.
Actually, he didn't need to remind them at all. With nearly 100,000 netizens in the live broadcast room, there were definitely enthusiastic netizens in Verdant City who would send the license plate information to the cyber police.
Zack drove frantically through the traffic, constantly overtaking and changing lanes, his speed getting faster and faster.
"What the hell! How are you driving? Are you rushing home for a funeral?!" The driver of a silver sedan, startled by Zack's sudden lane change and overtake, broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but curse.
Ahead, there was a red light.
Zack didn't even look and drove straight through it.
He was truly panicked.
He ran three red lights in a row, then made a sharp right turn and disappeared into the traffic.
In the live broadcast room, Elliot opened a map of Verdant City, which showed the real-time location of Zack's vehicle.
"I guess Strong-zun should be going to the high-speed rail station," Elliot analyzed.
The red dot on the map was moving rapidly towards the direction of the high-speed rail station.
[I have already notified the authorities at the high-speed rail station,] the netizen named "Serene Heart" from before sent a message in the bullet chat.
Elliot stared intently at the map on the screen.
About ten minutes later, Zack's car arrived near the high-speed rail station.
At this moment, his speed suddenly slowed down.
It turned out that he saw two police cars parked at the entrance of the high-speed rail station, and several officers were standing there, not knowing what they were doing.
Zack's heart immediately sped up.
He didn't know if these police officers were there to arrest him.
Not daring to take the risk, he quickly turned the car around, preparing to leave.
Just as he was turning around, Zack noticed that an officer was pointing at his car and had spotted him.
He was certain that they were indeed there to arrest him.
Zack was greatly alarmed, quickly stepped on the accelerator to the floor, and the car shot out with a "whoosh."
Looking through the rearview mirror, Zack saw that the two police cars had also started and were chasing after him.
"It's over! It's over!" Zack's face was pale.
That little brat actually called the police.
To this day, he still didn't know how the little brat knew his real identity?
Did someone inside the company leak it?
Or did he offend someone?
Zack didn't even think about the
It wasn't his fault; who would have thought that all their information would be found by a
He also didn't know that his every move was clearly seen by the more than 100,000 netizens in the live broadcast room.
"It seems Strong-zun has discovered the authorities," Elliot said with a smile.
The live broadcast's perspective couldn't see the police.
But from Zack's panicked expression and his constant checking of the rearview mirror, Elliot could guess that there must be police officers chasing him from behind.
Zack ran several red lights in a row, desperately speeding forward.
Judging from the route on the map, he should be trying to escape out of the city.
No... his car suddenly drove into a shopping mall and stopped in the underground parking garage.
Zack got out of the car, walked quickly into the elevator, and arrived on the first floor of the mall.
[Does Strong-zun want to hide in the mall?] Netizens in the live broadcast room guessed when they saw this scene.
No, Zack quickly walked out of the mall again and got into a taxi.
"Brothers, Strong-zun's anti-reconnaissance ability is quite strong. He wants to use the mall's crowd to shake off the police pursuit," Elliot said with a smile.
He guessed correctly.
Zack was indeed using the crowded nature of the mall to try and shake off the police pursuit.
Under normal circumstances, this move of his might actually work.
In the taxi, Zack sat in the back seat, his forehead covered in sweat, breathing heavily.
The driver looked at him curiously through the rearview mirror.
"Driver, go to the city bus station," Zack said.
"Does Strong-zun want to take a bus to escape the city?" Elliot guessed.
"Driver, do you have a mask? I have a cold and a bit of a cough... cough cough..." Zack asked, pretending to cough as he spoke.
"Mask, yes," the driver found a mask from the storage box in the driver's seat and handed it to Zack.
"Thank you," Zack took the mask and put it on his face.
"Brothers, I was right, wasn't I? Strong-zun's anti-reconnaissance ability is very strong. He put on a mask to avoid the surveillance cameras on the road," Elliot analyzed.
There were surveillance cameras everywhere on the street, and wearing a mask was indeed beneficial for hiding one's identity.
It had to be said, Zack was an old hand.
Just like this, Elliot originally thought he would go to the city bus station to take a bus to escape the city.
Unexpectedly, the taxi drove halfway, and Zack suddenly asked it to stop.
"Driver, stop the car. I'm getting off here!"
"Ah? Aren't you going to the station?" the driver asked in confusion.
"I have something urgent to do temporarily, so I'm not going," Zack said, taking out 20 credits and handing it to the driver, "Keep the change."
With that, Zack got out of the car, quickly ran into a small alley, and then emerged from the other end of the alley.
He hailed another taxi.
"Driver, go to the Oakwood Garden residential area on Central Road," Zack said.
He changed his mind and was no longer going to the station, but to Oakwood Garden instead.
Elliot immediately found the location of the Oakwood Garden residential area on the map.
"Are you home? I'm coming over now," Zack took out his phone and sent a message to a woman named "Wendy."
"I'm home, come over," Wendy quickly replied.
Elliot's fingers flew across the keyboard, easily hacking into Wendy's phone.
Locating the phone's position: Unit 304, Building 6, Oakwood Garden residential area.
"Brothers, the place Strong-zun is going to now is Unit 304, Building 6, Oakwood Garden residential area," Elliot said to the camera.
[Information has been sent to the authorities,] in the bullet chat, "Serene Heart" appeared again.
...
Half an hour later, the taxi arrived at the entrance of the Oakwood Garden residential area.
Zack paid the fare and got out of the car.
He first vigilantly observed his surroundings, then lowered his head and walked quickly into the residential area.
Arriving at the residential area's access control entrance, he swiped his access card.
"Beep!"
The gate opened, and Zack walked into the residential area, came downstairs to Building 6, and pressed the elevator button.
