Chapter 40: It

In the vast office, one could hear a pin drop!

At this moment, Chen Zhiguo's heart was already in a complete state of chaos!

That things could develop to this point today was something he had never dreamed of when the program was first approved.

When the main station planned this program, the original intention was to combat crime and uphold the authority of the law!

But when it came to Chu Chen, everything changed...

A simulated crime, made to look like an American blockbuster?

Previously, when he snatched 400 million in Mexico, the relevant leaders at the station had already given him orders, telling him that no matter what, he must tell the Expert Group that they had to solve the case within a month, and he must absolutely not let him cause any more major commotions.

But right now, only a few days have passed!

This guy has already committed another earth-shattering crime!

He started off by stealing cultural relics worth ten billion!

The money is one thing.

The most critical part is that the impact brought about by this incident is truly too great, to the point that it is even immeasurable!

First is the impact on the public!

Right now, as the live broadcast continues to this point, more and more people have become Chu Chen's fanatical fans!

What is Chu Chen's current status?

He is a criminal!

And he is currently at large!

Facing a person who goes against social rules like this, not only is everyone not united in boycotting him, but they are actually cheering him on?

Such a situation has completely deviated from the core philosophy of the program at its inception!

Secondly, those attending this Himalayan Art Exhibition include not only collectors from Huaxia, but also many celebrities and collectors from other countries.

If this matter is not handled well, the consequences are truly unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhiguo sighed in utter helplessness, but in the end, he still reported the matter to the station leaders exactly as it was!

……

……

……

At the same time!

Tibet!

Dingri!

On the desolate wilderness, a military truck is speeding along a dirt road trampled out by mountain pilgrims and sheep!

The dust kicked up makes the entire live broadcast footage look like a Western film.

Inside the cab.

Chu Chen's expression is as it has always been!

Calm and firm.

Just like the distant, rolling snow-capped mountains, it has never changed.

Through the truck's rearview mirror, one can clearly see that at this very moment, there are about a dozen jeeps marked with Armed Police insignia and five military trucks behind him, pursuing him relentlessly.

Every so often, specialized Armed Police in the jeeps behind would use a loudspeaker to call out to him:

"Listen up, person in front! Your only way out now is to stop the car immediately and do not offer stubborn resistance! Resistance is a dead end! The military Armed Helicopter of the Stationed Troops and other brother units are on their way! I hope you consider the current situation clearly! Think for yourself about where you are headed; we will give you two minutes to consider! After two minutes, we will fire indiscriminately at you and your vehicle! This is a formal warning!"

"Listen up, person in front, your only way out now is..."

The sound of the Armed Police's shouting from behind seems very harsh on the empty plateau.

Just as he finished shouting this, the roar of the Armed Helicopter began to approach from afar, whistling as it caught up with the Armed Police pursuit team!

For a moment, the once-silent plateau suddenly became lively!

At this moment, in the live broadcast room.

Seeing this scene, all kinds of bullet comments erupted again:

【Holy crap! This scene is too much!】

【Damn! It's even alarmed the military!?】

【Brothers, things are getting lively now!】

【God Chu still has status!】

【More than ten Armed Helicopters dispatched at once, I reckon only God Chu gets this treatment!】

【Too damn spectacular!】

【Damn, the military has even been dispatched, where are the people from the Logistics Team? Hurry up and coordinate, what if they really open fire?】

【I wouldn't know if we were at war with someone, this scene is truly too big!】

【God Chu is awesome! This is what you call a crime! Watching those other contestants with their petty thievery is really boring!】

These Armed Helicopters that came to support are not here just for show.

Almost all of them are loaded with ammunition for support!

Judging by the exterior, they should be WZ-10s.

If nothing goes wrong, the missiles equipped should also be the most awesome S8 Series Aviation Rocket of today.

This newly developed aviation rocket, with just one volley, can precisely bomb at least twenty-eight targets!

A military truck is nothing in front of it.

It could be turned into ashes in minutes.

However, Chu Chen knows that they wouldn't dare to do that at all!

Because at this very moment, his truck was carrying precious cultural relics worth tens of billions!

Any single piece taken from these relics would be of museum-collection grade!

Without orders from their superiors, they certainly would not dare to conduct an aerial strike!

As for opening fire, that was even more out of the question.

Once any relic was struck by a stray bullet, the nature of this incident would change entirely.

These Armed Police were all professional crisis response personnel; they could not possibly be unaware of this principle.

It was precisely because of this point that Chu Chen was certain they would not open fire!

During this time, he did not even downshift or slow down, maintaining top speed the entire way, speeding toward the snow-capped mountains dozens of kilometers away!

……

……

……

As a unique chase drama was unfolding on the desolate plateau, the Logistics Team also contacted the local Stationed Troops at the first opportunity and explained the situation to them!

At this moment.

Inside an office of the Stationed Troops in the Tibetan region!

Receiving Han Ruobing and Ye Siyu was a middle-aged officer with two bars and three stars on his shoulders, named Xu Yong.

"The two of you, do you know how serious the consequences caused by this matter are?"

Hearing him say this, Han Ruobing nodded awkwardly: "Officer, we are truly sorry. This matter has already exceeded the scope of our control, and we did not expect him to be so extreme..."

The next second, Xu Yong said in a deep voice again:

"I have already reported this matter to the higher-ups. How it will be handled still depends on their orders. The Armed Police just borrowed over ten armed helicopters from us. I suggest you first communicate with them; they are primarily responsible for this case. We are only assisting and have no authority to suspend their case, let alone stop their reasonable requisition. Do you two understand?"

"Officer, please rest assured, we have already sent people to coordinate with the Armed Police side."

Xu Yong nodded, then let out a long sigh and said: "I am really sorry, I have no authority to call off this case now because he has truly made quite a scene, even bringing out a Time Bomb. If this bomb were to actually explode, the consequences would be unimaginable..."

"Officer, we will convey this to the relevant contestant and have him pay more attention in the future," Han Ruobing apologized again.

"Now, what is the situation at the museum?" Xu Yong asked next.

Seeing this, Ye Siyu saluted him, then said:

"Reporting, Officer, bomb disposal experts and the bomb squad have already intervened and successfully neutralized the crisis. There were no casualties at the scene. According to the experts, his bomb was only Mercury Fulminate, and the power was not as great as imagined..."

"That is good. Let's do this: I have another meeting shortly. If there are any further issues, call my office directly, and we can communicate at any time."

"Very well, then Officer Xu, we won't disturb you further."
