The driver said, "Boss, we need to pull over and accept a check."
Han Lingyan seemed accustomed to it and nodded.
The car stopped, and the police car behind it followed suit. Two police officers got out, one a red-necked middle-aged man, and the other a young Black officer.
The red-necked man's hand rested on his waist as he walked to the driver's side.
The driver rolled down the window. "Officer, have I done something wrong?"
The red-necked man glanced at the back of the van and said, "Routine check, please cooperate."
Then, he gestured for the back window to be rolled down.
Upon seeing Ye Tian, Lin Ziyi, and the others, the red-necked man immediately said, "You all, get out of the car. I'm going to search you!"
Han Lingyan frowned. Having lived in the United States for many years, she knew some legal common sense. "You don't have the right to search us!"
The red-necked man's expression turned stern. "I suspect you have contraband in your car. Please cooperate, or I will have to take forceful measures!"
Ye Tian observed the man, feeling a sense of malice in his eyes. However, since they were in the United States, he didn't say anything. The three of them immediately got out of the car.
At that moment, the Black officer walked behind Lin Ziyi and loudly told her to turn around, place her hands on the car roof, and then press them against her waist.
A normal pat-down would have been one thing, but his hands lingered on Lin Ziyi's waist, slowly moving down, with an ill intent in his eyes.
"Boom!"
Ye Tian narrowed his eyes. A thunderous sound echoed in the Black officer's mind, turning him into an imbecile. He collapsed on the ground, foaming at the mouth.
The other red-necked officer was startled. He drew his gun and pointed it at Ye Tian. But at that moment, his hand moved uncontrollably towards himself, and he pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
With a gunshot, he hit himself in the abdomen and fell to the ground, screaming.
Ye Tian looked at him coldly and asked, "Why did you stop us?"
The officer, his consciousness fading, said, "We had nothing to do, we were bored, and we saw you were Asian, so we wanted to cause trouble."
Ye Tian glanced at the body cameras on both officers and said to the driver, "Call the police. Say someone is injured here."
The driver was stunned. He quickly nodded and dialed the emergency number.
After the call, they continued towards the town. About ten minutes later, several police cars arrived. After reviewing the dashcam footage, they were all surprised. No one had initiated any physical contact, but why had their Black colleague collapsed? And why had the white colleague shot himself?
Ye Tian and the others drove for a while longer before entering a small town. They found a hotel in town, and Han Lingyan made a phone call. The person on the other end informed her of the room for the transaction.
They walked to the designated room and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and a white-haired middle-aged man glanced at them and asked, "Is the money ready?"
Han Lingyan nodded. "We can transfer it anytime."
"Follow me."
He led Ye Tian and the others to the parking lot and opened a trailer, which was filled with insulated boxes.
The middle-aged man said, "It's all here, nine hundred and ninety-seven Red Snake Grasses."
Ye Tian quickly scanned the contents with his divine sense and found the goods to be in order and well-preserved. He nodded and said to Han Lingyan, "Transfer the payment."
Han Lingyan immediately made a call, and funds were transferred from the company to the designated account.
After confirming the payment, the middle-aged man smiled slightly. "The transaction is complete. I hope we can cooperate again in the future."
With that, he waved his hand, and several cars drove over from a distance, all equipped with machine guns. A sniper was also positioned in a nearby helicopter. Clearly, if Ye Tian's group made any unusual moves, these individuals would immediately open fire.
In front of the trailer was a pickup truck. Ye Tian had Han Lingyan drive, and he sat in the passenger seat, with Lin Ziyi in the back.
The truck started. After driving only a few kilometers, six SUVs approached at high speed.
