Chapter 69: He is provoking us!
At this moment, in the live broadcast room of South Africa TV!
Watching the back of Chu Chen as he walked away, the live comments exploded!
【This guy is too arrogant, isn't he?】
【I suspect he is provoking us!】
【No need to suspect, he is definitely provoking us!】
【I have already called the police! He won't be arrogant for much longer!】
【Me too!】
【Must call the police, let him taste our power!】
Inside the live broadcast room.
The live comments were flooding in wave after wave!
At this moment, all the South African citizens in the live broadcast room were exceptionally indignant, and one after another, they picked up their phones to call the police!
For a time, thousands of emergency calls were made one after another to the switchboard room of the Cape Province Police Headquarters!
Female operator A: "Hello, you have reached the emergency center of the Cape Province Police Headquarters. How can I help you?"
Female operator B: "Airport Highway... a robbery occurred. You are an eyewitness? You are at the scene? What? You are not at the scene?"
Female operator C: "You say you saw with your own eyes a Huaxia person rob an Arms Transport Vehicle and flee north on the Airport Highway... Alright, I have noted it all down. Do not move now, just stay where you are, we will be there immediately. What, you are at home?"
Female operator D: "Hello, you have reached the emergency center of the Cape Province Police Headquarters. How can I help you... You say you witnessed a robbery on TV... Sir, have you been drinking?"
Inside the emergency center.
Similar calls came one after another, leaving the operators completely confused, having no idea what was happening!
At the same time!
South Africa Cape Province Police Headquarters!
At this moment, inside the Chief's office!
After a busy morning, Chief Pierce finally finished the work at hand and let out a long sigh of relief:
"Whew!"
After stretching his shoulders twice, he enthusiastically picked up the cigar he had previously cut and sniffed it.
The pure Cuban wrapper emitted waves of spicy fragrance, instantly sweeping away his fatigue.
The next second, just as he was about to light it, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door!
"Come in!"
Hearing this, Pierce immediately returned to his working state and shouted in a raised voice.
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged Black man wearing a leather jacket pushed the door open, looking travel-worn, and rushed to his front:
"Chief, something has happened."
The middle-aged man was a Detective at the Cape Province Police Headquarters and Pierce's number one subordinate, named Luo De.
He looked to be only in his thirties, but his style was very mature; with a square face, a broad nose, and a face full of stubble, he looked like a tough guy at first glance!
In his impression, Luo De had always been very steady and had never been this panicked!
Seeing him like this, Pierce knew the matter might be significant and hurriedly comforted him: "What happened? Don't be anxious, sit down and tell me slowly."
"Whew!"
Luo De caught his breath, calmed his emotions, and said: "That Huaxia person... that Huaxia person, he has come to South Africa..."
"Huaxia person, what Huaxia person?" Pierce asked, puzzled.
"What? You don't know yet? It's that... the star contestant of 'Simulated Crime' who is very popular on YouTube recently, Chu Chen! You haven't heard of him yet, have you?"
These past few days, because the national headquarters was about to inspect the work in Cape Province, Pierce had been busy to the point of exhaustion, almost never leaving his office, and had no time to care about news on the internet.
He had only heard people mention Chu Chen's affairs in passing, so he knew such a person existed, but he did not really understand the specific situation.
Seeing that Pierce did not seem to understand this matter, Luo De continued to explain:
"This madman proposed an extreme sports challenge called the Extreme Eight Items in the program. Every item is very suicidal. As of now, he has already completed two of them: one is the Swallow Cave in Mexico, and one is Mount Everest in Huaxia!"
"What is he doing in South Africa?"
Luo De shook his head: "I don't know, but it must be related to his third challenge, and he has already started acting! Just now, he robbed an Amsco Company Arms Transport Vehicle and is fleeing north on the Airport Highway..."
"What?!"
As soon as the words fell, Pierce jumped up from his office chair in excitement, staring at Luo De in shock!
Amsco Company was a state-owned arms manufacturer!
Even the warlords in Central Africa wouldn't dare to target them; how could a Huaxia person dare to do this!
This guy must be crazy!
Amidst his shock, Pierce swallowed several times and confirmed with Luo De again: "Is what you said true?!"
Luo De nodded: "Absolutely true! During this time, our emergency center has received tens of thousands of calls! The video of him committing the robbery has also gone viral online!"
As he spoke, he took out his phone, clicked on a video of Chu Chen, and handed it to Pierce!
This video was a real-time clip officially edited by 'Simulated Crime', presenting the entire process of Chu Chen robbing the Arms Transport Vehicle without missing a frame!
High-speed pursuit, disarming with bare hands, subduing three people!
Especially the line at the end of the video, "Help me call the police," was extremely arrogant!
"Chief, he is provoking us!"
After the video finished playing, Luo De said indignantly.
Pierce remained silent.
At this very moment, his mind was already a blank, and he stood there like a statue!
Having been in the police force for over thirty years, he has solved countless robbery cases!
He has encountered cases of bag snatching, carjacking, and even wife-snatching.
But this is the first time he has ever seen someone dare to rob an Arms Transport Vehicle!
If this isn't madness, then what is?
Besides, what is the meaning of that sentence at the end of the video?
Isn't this just an obvious provocation?
Staring at the screen where the video had finished playing, Pierce's mind went blank; it took a long while for him to steady his emotions: "He is pitting himself against the entire National Defense Force..."
Luo De nodded: "Yes, and I expect the military has probably received the news by now... Chief, what should we do? Should we dispatch officers?"
"Where is he located right now?" Pierce asked.
"He should still be in the area of the Airport Highway!" Luo De replied.
After a moment of contemplation, Pierce gave a direct order to Luo De:
"Do this: first, notify the traffic management department and have them seal off all entrances and exits to the provincial highways throughout Cape Town, and assist us in a city-wide alert. If you spot the target during this process, you may proceed directly to arrest him! But you must keep him alive. This matter cannot yet be classified as a simple violent crime; I need to report this to the National Headquarters and have them communicate with the Huaxia side to see how exactly this should be handled!"
"Understood, Chief, I will go handle it immediately!"
"Go!"
After Luo De left the office, Pierce did not dare to delay; he immediately contacted the National Headquarters and reported the entire case in full detail to the relevant leaders!
