Chapter 502: Even if shattered to pieces, I
Under the leadership of Han Fei and Xu Mo, the police officers inched toward the distant self‑built house.
One thousand meters.
Eight hundred meters.
Five hundred meters.
Three hundred meters.
They are already extremely careful, trying not to make any sound so as not to alert the people inside.
However, the area is so barren that there isn't a single cover; if anyone inside were even slightly vigilant, they would be spotted.
At that moment, at the second‑floor window of the self‑built house, a bald fellow—so shiny his head could serve as a mirror—appeared through the glass in the police officers' view.
"Han Team, Team Leader Xu, there's someone at the window; we seem to have been spotted!" Li Chen said, pointing at the second‑floor window of the self‑built house.
At this distance, he could already see the person standing by the window clearly.
"Grab them, don't let them run!" Seeing they had been discovered, Han Fei rushed forward, no longer caring about concealment; moving quickly to seize them and deny the others a chance to escape was the right move.
While the police officers saw the person inside, the bald man who had unintentionally stepped to the window also saw the approaching officers outside.
"Big Brother, someone… someone's coming, looks like cops!"
"Cops? No way, how could they find this so fast? Move aside, let me see." In the next second, a man in jeans, a white short‑sleeve shirt and glasses darted to the window, pushed his younger brother aside and glanced outside.
The two are blood brothers; the one with glasses is the older brother Chen Wu, and the bald one is the younger brother Chen Wen.
Still, the brothers are amusing: Chen Wu is clever but thin and frail since childhood, while Chen Wen is physically robust but not very sharp; their names are essentially reversed.
After seeing the outsiders' attire, Chen Wu inhaled sharply.
They really are police! And there are quite a few of them.
The only habitable place around is this self‑built house, so it's clear the police are coming straight at them.
"Big Brother, what do we do next? Should we grab the guy and fight them?"
"No way, can you even see how many they are? Run!" As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Wu turned his head and prepared to flee.
Fighting is impossible; they can't beat them either. The opponents are too many—one punch per person could knock both of them down.
"Run now? Big Brother, the buyer's already on the road; if we run now our deal will be ruined, right?"
"What time is it that you're still thinking about money? Is life more important, or money?"
Chen Wen answered without hesitation: "Money is important; if life's gone, it's gone. If I die without earning money, I won't rest in peace."
No sooner had he spoken than his brother Chen Wu's massive foot—about 43 Chinese feet—landed on his butt.
"Stop stalling, move quickly, or we'll miss our chance to run!"
After the kick, Chen Wen scratched his shiny bald head; a flicker of confusion crossed his clear but foolish eyes. He didn't know what he'd said wrong or why his big brother kicked him, but he still followed Chen Wu's steps, ready to leave.
The two scrambled down the second floor, not even bothering to gather anything valuable, and burst out the door, leaving the self‑built house.
"Run this way, the car's here," Chen Wu glanced back at the pursuing police and pointed at their small truck.
Chen Wen immediately followed.
But after only a few steps, he suddenly halted, "Big Brother, I think I left my phone behind."
"What phone at this point? Escaping is urgent; forget the phone, I'll buy you a new one later."
Hearing Chen Wu promise a new phone, Chen Wen stopped hesitating and followed his brother again.
The two managed to get into the vehicle before the police caught up.
Chen Wu sat in the passenger seat, not even fastening his seatbelt, and commanded Chen Wen, who was in the driver's seat,
"Quick, quick, drive… drive! Get away from those damn cops!"
"Got it, bro, leave it to me."
Chen Wen deftly started the car, his right foot already on the accelerator; a light tap would instantly leave the nearby police behind.
But at that moment, Chen Wen remembered something: in his haste, he'd left his computer on!
"Damn, bro, I just remembered…"
"What now? Whatever you remembered can wait until we lose these cops!" Chen Wu was exasperated.
His younger brother may be fine otherwise, but his brain's a bit off, with odd thought patterns and strange ideas.
"I left my computer on."
Hearing that, Chen Wu was stunned; he never imagined his goofy brother would still be worrying about his computer at this moment.
"Your computer's off? So what? It's off, fine. What time is it, you still care about that busted computer?" Chen Wu slapped the shiny dome of Chen Wen's head and shouted, "Move the hell out and drive!"
"Can't, bro. It's not about the computer being on; I haven't cleared my browsing history… I have to go delete it, I can't let anyone see it." Saying that, Chen Wen opened the door, ready to get out.
Chen Wu: "???"
With the cops closing in, "You tell me your browsing history isn't cleared, and you want to go back to delete it?!"
Just as he was about to lean out, Chen Wu grabbed his shirt.
"Big Brother, you're my brother; can't I call you that? The cops are almost on us, let's run, stop worrying about your browsing history; if we don't run now we're done!"
Chen Wen shook his head without thinking, his face serious.
"No, I must delete the browsing history. Brother, have you heard the saying, 'I'm not afraid of being shattered to pieces; I want to keep my integrity in the world'… This history has to go, even if I get caught I'll accept it."
After speaking, Chen Wen broke free from Chen Wu's grip and, without looking back, got out of the car.
"Big Brother, you run on your own; don't worry, I won't turn you in!" After saying that, Chen Wen sprinted back toward the self‑built house.
Chen Wu: "???"
Me run myself? I'd have to be able to run too!
"You damn come back! ***! I can't drive this big vehicle!"
"You're really my ancestor, how did I end up with a brother like this… damn!"
After venting a few curses, Chen Wu realized he couldn't waste more time or they'd be caught, so he gritted his teeth and moved from the passenger seat to the driver's seat.
Although he can't drive this kind of big vehicle, he can drive a small car; big vehicles and small cars are all vehicles, so driving them shouldn't be too different.
