Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2073: Chapter 1592: Facing Death Alone

Adam and Jaster looked incredulously at the young driver. Was he also one of them?

How could that be possible!

Earlier, the sheriff recognized him, and he should be a reliable ally!

Even if they didn’t believe it, a fact is a fact.

Just now, with a cold declaration of death, this young man named Carson revealed his true allegiance, forcing them to believe.

A sudden chill ran through Adam and Jaster.

With a gun pointed at his head, the young Carson showed no fear. He calmly took out the car key and tossed it out of the window.

The set of keys fell into a corner, disappearing from sight.

Only then did everyone realize they had forgotten to restrain him.

”What are you doing? Stay put!” Xiya shouted.

Adam moved to handcuff him, but Carson merely glanced at the dark gun barrel, not resisting at all.

The car was parked in a secluded small square in an alley. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with no visible figures, yet it felt like eyes were watching them from every corner, surveilling and observing.

Adam and Jaster drew their guns, lowering themselves while aiming in all directions outside the car.

They saw nothing, only sensing an eerie silence.

In light of Carson’s words, danger seemed imminent. Staying in the car didn’t feel safe, yet stepping out would make them sitting targets!

The two were so tense they didn’t know what to do.

Inside the car, Lin Weiwei’s face also showed panic.

Thankfully, Lei Ying was by her side, preventing her from being too frightened.

Xiya remained relatively calm.

”How did you figure it out?” Bai Xiaosheng asked Xiya calmly.

Xiya looked at Bai Xiaosheng and answered honestly, ”From just now, I noticed something was off about him. The car was heading into more and more remote areas, and he kept observing us through the rearview mirror with a cold gaze!”

Xiya was applying what Bai Xiaosheng had taught.

”Being observant is a good thing,” Bai Xiaosheng nodded in approval towards Xiya.

Receiving Bai Xiaosheng’s praise, Xiya felt gratified.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Carson and said to Xiya, ”From the moment they attacked us in the café, I felt something was off!”

Off?

How could something be more off than being attacked?

Adam and Jaster secretly grumbled.

But Xiya listened intently to Bai Xiaosheng, acknowledging that she was not as sharp as he was, admitting he could teach her things.

Bai Xiaosheng continued, ”Why would they choose a place where the police could quickly assist to make a move, especially in a public area? If they waited a little longer, they could have found a more suitable ambush spot. Knowing you as an expert in crisis management, using that ridiculous food delivery ploy was unreasonable...”

Xiya blushed slightly.

As an expert in crisis response, she hadn’t noticed anything at the time...

Bai Xiaosheng looked out the window and continued, ”Just a moment ago, I thought about it more. They probably knew we had Lei Ying, a formidable ally, along with you three top police school graduates. They likely believed the first wave of attack had little chance of success!”

”Therefore, their real killing move wasn’t there, but now!”

”After experiencing a terrifying attack, once people feel safe, their vigilance is at its lowest. This is when they are easiest to deal with. It’s a bit like the frog boiling in warm water scenario.”

”Our spirits are exhausted, and there’s not many bullets left in your guns. What they’re depleting is our mental and physical endurance and weapons!”

”As for choosing that easily reachable café by the police, I think it’s because they had someone infiltrated here — him!” Bai Xiaosheng pointed at Carson.

From the beginning, as Bai Xiaosheng analyzed the situation, Carson watched him coldly. However, when Bai Xiaosheng reached this point, Carson’s expression completely changed, looking unsightly, as if seeing a ghost.

This guy, how could he deduce everything just with reasoning!

By comparing Carson’s expression, Xiya understood that Bai Xiaosheng’s analysis was probably accurate!

She hadn’t thought of any of this!

She only sensed something was strange about the driver, and it was Bai Xiaosheng’s hint that made her confirm there was an issue!

She was that much behind him...

Xiya felt a mix of frustration and resignation in her heart, yet she had a newfound respect for Bai Xiaosheng.

Adam and Jaster looked at Bai Xiaosheng almost reverently.

Lei Ying nodded, while Lin Weiwei felt proud of Xiaosheng’s foresight.

In truth, they didn’t know that Bai Xiaosheng had deduced even more.

Just like now, they were led here, and the car was such a huge target, yet the adversary hadn’t opened fire immediately.

Bai Xiaosheng figured that since Landvo sent them, he harbored extreme animosity towards him, and wouldn’t let him die cluelessly.

He must want to inflict maximum fear and torture.

This meant they wouldn’t experience a sudden direct assault!

As for the supposedly poisoned coffee and cake in the café, it was likely overthought.

The person sent by the opposition was just meant to be exposed.

Playing cat and mouse, witnessing my despair, and recording it all in video, perhaps? Bai Xiaosheng sneered in secret.

But such opportunity might never come to fruition.

The advantage of this situation is that staying in the car was relatively safe, with no sudden attacks expected.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at the car’s central console, pointing there and said to Xiya, ”You didn’t observe carefully enough. The radio has been on the whole time, yet there’s been no static noise, much less a voice. I suspect their leader or someone like that is monitoring our every word closely!”
