The Mastermind Of Equinox Flower Was Caught - 3
She paused for a moment before adding, "Do you know that it's a serious offense to prank a police officer, let alone an organization like the International Crimes Unit? As for arresting the criminal, I'm sorry but I don't think you can even get close to him."
'What?! Is she looking down on me?!'
The sheriff bristled with rage.
Even though he admitted that his driving skills were bad, it had taken him a few attempts to pass the driving test, and he still could not park properly in a parking lot, he was confident that he was better than the girl in front of him.
"How dare you! Who do you think you are to look down on me?"
Fu Zhi threw him a glance, and the sheriff was stumped.
Well, he was just trying to intimidate Fu Zhi with the gun. There was no way he was going to shoot her.
"Get out of the car right now! What the hell are you going to do?"
Vroom—
Fu Zhi paid him no mind. She stepped on the accelerator, and before the sheriff could say anything, the car sped forward with crashing gears.
"I'm going to get my milk tea back."
The sheriff looked in a daze at the car that was getting smaller and smaller in front of him. When he came around to his senses, he cursed out loud. "F*ck!"
He paced back and forth on the road, and his chest was heaving up and down heavily.
'What the hell is wrong with her? Get her milk tea back? Is that more important than arresting a criminal? I swear to God that I will inform her country of her behavior and let her… Hold on a second. Did she just mention milk tea?'
The sheriff thought for a while, and then the scale dropped before his eyes.
'So the strawberry slushie that Matthew took away belonged to her!'
"Come back! Stop the car!" The sheriff shouted as he stamped his feet on the ground in exasperation. "Matthew has a gun on him!"
He ran, taking two steps forward, and then suddenly stopped in his tracks when something popped into his mind. He realized that there was no need for him to be so anxious. After all, Fu Zhi was not from here, so there was no way she could know how to go around the city. If she did not know how to go around the city, it would be impossible for her to get to Matthew.
When the sheriff thought about it, he heaved a sigh.

Meanwhile, while Fu Zhi was controlling the steering wheel with one hand, she took her phone from the passenger seat, quit her game, and called Jiang Ningbei.
There were sports cars everywhere, and the roars of the engines rang throughout the sky.
The captain of the 7th division called the captain of the 4th division. "We lost him. Matthew is heading toward Serene Street. I think he's attempting to get to the highway through Serene Street. There is a lot of traffic on Serene Street, and this is our last chance. If we don't stop him there, he will get away."
"Understood," the captain of the 4th division replied, his face stern. The sapphire sports car was only 100 meters away from him. He stepped down on the accelerator and charged toward the sapphire sports car.
The distance between them was getting shorter and shorter, and right now, they were only 60 meters apart.
Matthew noticed them through the rearview mirror and let out a scoff. He stamped on the gas pedal and jerked the steering wheel. With the help of inertia, he performed a beautiful drift and overtook the stream of cars on Serene Street.
It only took him a few seconds, and he was already 300 to 400 meters ahead of them.
'What a bunch of fools.'
Matthew chided his pursuers inwardly as he looked at them through the rearview mirror. He took the strawberry slushie from the passenger seat and stuck a straw into it before taking a sip.
"F*ck!" The captain of the 4th division cursed. "We almost got him!"
"I already told you that he's cunning and it's not that easy to get him," the captain of the 5th division said. "Besides, he has modified his car, so its performance is surely better than our car's."
The expression of the captain of the 4th division lightened a bit.
"You're right. I don't think anyone can catch up to Matthew. Besides, there are too many cars on this street. None of them knows that we're chasing a criminal, and they don't know how to cooperate with us. I think we won't be able to get to him today. Luckily, we'll still have one more chance the day after tomorrow. Then…"
Before he could finish speaking, a black silhouette whistled past.
The reason he thought he saw a silhouette was that the silhouette was simply too fast. Before he could take a good look at it, it had already disappeared from his line of sight.
The captain of the 4th division was stunned. After a short while, he suddenly realized something was not right. He immediately got out of the car and jumped onto the roof of his car.
"Holy..." he shouted.
He saw that a black police car was chasing the sapphire sports car, and it seemed to him that the police car was about to catch up to the sports car.
He stomped, and the car shook. The captain of the 5th division stuck his head out of the window and shouted, "Are you insane? You don't have to stomp on the car even though you failed to arrest him today. Are you trying to crush me to death so that nobody will know you didn't get to Matthew because you're a lousy driver?"
Normally, the captain of the 4th division would surely fight back, but today was different. He pointed in the distance and said, "I didn't know that the police officers in Myanmar were so good at driving! It seems like we've underestimated them. Look at that black car. Its specifications are not as good as ours, but the driver could catch up to Matthew's car!"
"What?!"
The captain of the 5th division got out of the car, but both the black and the sapphire sports car were nowhere to be seen.
"Are you sure that is a Myanmar police car? Why would they ask for our help if they could handle Matthew by themselves? This is so strange!"
The captain of the 4th division pulled his phone out and called the sheriff. The moment the call was connected, he said, "Why didn't you tell me that you have such a professional driver in your team, sheriff?"
The sheriff was stunned. He had not been in a good mood since Fu Zhi had taken his car away. However, after he heard what the captain of the 4th division said, the dark cloud in his heart dissipated, and he said, "Of course. We have undergone a series of professional training and…"
"This is not important." The captain of the 4th division interrupted before the sheriff could finish his sentence. "Just tell me who the driver is."
The sheriff did not know what to say.
'What a coincidence. I also want to know who the driver is.'
"Hold on a second. Let me check with the Bureau of Transportation."
The sheriff also wanted to know who the driver was. Without hanging up the call, he headed straight to the Bureau of Transportation and looked at the traffic cameras.
A staff member took a look at the camera footage and said, "The last three digits of the registration plate are 111."
"Huh? Sheriff..." A police officer asked, "Isn't that your car?"
"Erm…"
The sheriff was dumbfounded as well. He remembered his car being taken away by a young girl, and the girl had said that she was going to get her milk tea back.
He said, "My car was stolen by a girl! She said she was going to get her milk tea back!"
Everyone was speechless.
That said, they did not care what her motive was as long as she could get to Matthew.

At the same time, in the car...
After Jiang Ningbai answered the call, Fu Zhi said, "Help me locate Matthew's car and tell me how many cars are on the road now and how many traffic lights there are. I want to know everything."
Jiang Ningbei was stunned for a moment, but he soon came around to his senses. He nodded and said, "Okay. I will get to it."1
After a short while, he replied, "Matthew is on Canna Street now. There are two intersections ahead of him before he gets to the highway. The traffic light is now red at the nearest intersection, and a truck is coming from the right side. As for the left side… Matthew will reach the intersection in another minute or so, and you are one intersection away from him. Right now, the traffic light at the intersection in front of you is red."
As Jiang Ningbei was talking, he continued to observe Fu Zhi while she scorched her way down the street.
Although he did not know why Fu Zhi had chosen to help them, since she was there, there was no way Matthew could escape from them today.
"Jiang Ningbei," Fu Zhi said. "Inform the Bureau of Transportation to change the traffic light at the intersection in front of me to green in the next 30 seconds. Then, after one minute, change the traffic light at the intersection the truck will pass to green and Matthew's traffic light to red."
"Huh??"
Jiang Ningbei was confused.
"There is no way they will do that for us. It… It is just…"
"You have to make them understand." Fu Zhi interjected. "They are the ones who want to capture Matthew. We're only here to help. If we let Matthew get away this time, it will be their problem, not ours."
"Okay. I will talk to them."
The intersection was crowded with cars. Everyone was well aware of when the traffic light would turn.
There was a dozen cars waiting for the traffic light to change, while cars were passing back and forth on the left side of the intersection.
The traffic light began to flash and started to count down.
"15, 14, 13…"
Just as everyone was ready to step on the gas pedal, the traffic light suddenly turned green at the 13th second and a black police car whistled by, stunning the rest of the drivers.
However, the drivers were not the only ones who were stunned. Even the members of the International Crimes Unit were left dumbfounded by this sudden change.
A member of the 4th division blinked his eyes as he turned around to face his partner. "Erm, did you see what I just saw? The traffic light suddenly turned green, and…"
"And a black police car sped by," his partner said. "Well, it seems that we really underestimated the police officers of this area."
However, what they did not know was that the staff member in the Bureau of Transportation that had helped Jiang Ningbei change the traffic light felt as if there were ants in his pants right now. After all, he had not asked for permission from his superior before helping Jiang Ningbei change the traffic light.
"Are... Are you sure this will work?" he asked, his voice faltering.
"Don't worry. Matthew won't be able to escape this time."
—
Through the surveillance camera, they could see that although Matthew was driving very fast, he could not shake Fu Zhi off. Fu Zhi was driving so fast that even though they had fixed their eyes on her car, they would lose sight of her whenever they blinked, and the next time they saw her, she would already be at the next intersection.
A minute had passed, and the staff member changed the traffic light at the second intersection, as he had been instructed by Fu Zhi.
In the meantime, a truck had just reached the intersection. When he saw the green light, his foot stamped down on the accelerator and the truck dashed forward.
Matthew was dumbfounded when he saw the traffic light suddenly change from green to red. He was now in the middle of the intersection, and a truck was coming straight at him from the right side.
"D*mn it!"
He hastily jerked the steering wheel to avoid the collision. His car skidded along the road and spun like a top for a few rounds before coming to a complete stop.
Vroom—
The truck sped by.
"Terrific!" the sheriff exclaimed. "Go! Go! Go! Now is your chance! Go get him!"
However, another police officer suddenly shouted, "Hold on a second, sheriff!"
The sheriff frowned. "What's wrong?"
The police officer swallowed hard and continued. "Well, although she's good at driving, she's just a commoner. Matthew has a gun with him, so are you sure that it's okay for us to let her handle Matthew alone?"
The sheriff fell silent. After thinking for a while, he asked one of his subordinates who was standing beside him, "Do you think she knows how to fight?"
His subordinate contemplated it as he began to simulate the fight between Matthew and Fu Zhi. Matthew was tall and burly. His entire body was covered in big muscles, and he was cruel at heart. Then, he looked at Fu Zhi in the video. She was short and thin.
The outcome of the fight was as clear as day. There was no way Fu Zhi could defeat Matthew. Therefore, he said, "I think Matthew doesn't even need to use the gun. He could get rid of her with just a punch."
'D*mn it!'
The sheriff grabbed his hat and shouted, "Stop watching and let's go! We have to protect her at all costs, and we must not let anything happen to her. Otherwise, we won't be able to answer to her country!"
—
Fu Zhi was unaware that everyone was looking worriedly for her. She spun the steering wheel and turned into another intersection.
