Chapter 29: Villains Are Stupid to Death

~10 min read 1,870 words

Victor and the president of Cat Getan University were thinking about how to deal with Bruce, but Batman was also thinking about how to deal with them.

After these days of tempering, Batman had figured out many things. For example, every question Shiler asked him, he found the answer to.

Now he had admitted that he was different from the police. He wasn't the incarnation of absolute justice. In fact, he was no different from those criminals, because they didn't follow the law. Batman had firmly established a determination, which was to only uphold his own justice, without caring about judicial justice.

So his means of investigating the Christine kidnapping case were no longer so awkward and reckless.

Once Batman figured it out, no one could surpass his wisdom and execution.

He first started with the president of Cat Getan University. Compared to Victor, an old policeman who had been in the police force for many years, although the president of Cat Getan University was also very cautious, he hadn't been to a police academy and hadn't undergone professional anti-reconnaissance training. And in terms of physical fitness, he was just an ordinary person, and he was much easier to deal with.

One night, Batman directly sneaked into the president's home. Although he didn't find the location where Christine was kidnapped, he found a few inconspicuous call records on the president's landline.

He guessed that kidnapping Christine would never be done by the president himself. He should have accomplices or subordinates, and contacting them through the landline was the safest, because not everyone had the means to crack landline call records. Ordinary people couldn't check which numbers this kind of old-fashioned landline had dialed.

Bruce restored his student status and went to the president's office on purpose. His reason was also very legitimate. Obviously, he wrote the assignment, but Shiler still deducted his assignment points. He intended to complain to the president.

In the process of communicating with the president, Batman used professional equipment to collect the president's voice samples, and then dialed that strange number through a voice changer.

Batman's rhetoric was also very powerful. He didn't make any inquiries, just said very ambiguously, "How is the person now?"

The person on the other side didn't look like a very cautious character, and answered without thinking, "Sir, we followed your requirements and didn't touch her, but such a beautiful chick, my subordinates couldn't control themselves..."

"If there is any problem with the person, you are done for," Batman said.

"Of course, of course. I will manage them well."

In fact, as soon as the person on the other side opened his mouth, Batman knew that they were just a few gang members. Cat Getan's gangs were all the same. Batman couldn't be more familiar with them.

Just after finishing the call, Batman locked onto the location of these gang members. Although Batman's current equipment wasn't very perfect, the Wei En family had so many satellites hanging in the sky, so it shouldn't be difficult to track a mobile phone signal.

After finding the place, Christine was indeed in no danger, because the president didn't want to use her to threaten Wei En, but wanted to threaten her to be an informant. Naturally, he couldn't hurt her; otherwise, how could she go on a date with Bruce?

Christine was rescued by Batman. Although she didn't suffer any physical harm, her spirit was still greatly frightened. After Batman sent her to the hospital, Christine also indicated that she was willing to testify in court to identify the president for kidnapping her.

On the other side, Victor wasn't smooth either. In front of an old oil like Victor, a thorn like Gordon who only wanted to uphold justice was simply the most difficult person to deal with. After all, Victor couldn't shout in the police station that it was wrong for Gordon to uphold justice like this. He still had to pretend to be righteous.

Gordon knew in his heart what kind of goods Victor was, but he still had to accompany him in acting, dragging out his time so that he wouldn't have time to destroy evidence for Jonathan or tamper with the files.

Gordon watched everything related to Jonathan's case too tightly. This case itself was also broken by him. Victor found it hard to guarantee whether Gordon would still have a backup hand after he destroyed the evidence in the police station? This newcomer, although reckless and difficult to deal with, indeed had some ability.

And Ma Luoni, he was even more unlucky. To increase Ma Luoni's sunk costs, Shiler went to the chemical plant to sabotage every few days. He didn't do anything big, just letting a few parts go missing in the machine today, and blocking the drainage pipe tomorrow. These small things would only be seen as accidents that happened inadvertently, but they were very delaying.

Some parts in the machine could only be bought from the original factory, and Ma Luoni could only spend a lot of effort to buy them. Some weren't even provided by the original factory, and he could only spend a bigger price to buy them from others.

This back and forth cost another nearly 1 million US dollars, but it didn't even make a splash.

Ma Luoni thought these problems were caused by bailing Jonathan out too slowly. He thought these workers weren't professional, and only Jonathan could do it. So he put pressure on Victor.

Victor got nervous and had to go find the president again. But the president found that Christine, whom he kidnapped, had disappeared. The whole plan hadn't started yet, but it had already died in the cradle.

It just so happened that Victor was eager to find him to implement this plan. After the Police Commissioner and the president found that the most critical person was gone, under huge pressure, they could only choose to take a risk and plan to directly kidnap Bruce.

On the day Shiler accepted Bruce's invitation to go to Wei En Manor for dinner, Bruce got off class and went directly to find Shiler. The two of them got into a car together, intending to go directly back to Wei En Manor.

Cat Getan University was still a certain distance from Wei En Manor. Although it wasn't as far as the East District on the diagonal, it took at least half an hour to drive.

If you have to say Cat Getan's only advantage, it's that it's not as traffic-jammed as New York. The roads in this ghost place are straight and wide, so you can accelerate unscrupulously when driving.

To show sincerity, Bruce didn't let the driver pick them up, but drove a car himself.

Seeming to hold some subtle showing-off psychology, the car he drove wasn't that kind of bulky safety vehicle, but a beautiful Lamborghini, bright blue, very flashy.

And just as Bruce was about to increase the speed to 140 mph, several masked men suddenly rushed out from the corner, pointing their dark gun muzzles at the car. Bruce's first reaction was to turn the steering wheel.

He wasn't afraid, but the professor sitting in the passenger seat hadn't undergone any training. He shouted, "Professor, get down!!"

Shiler said nonchalantly, "I'm very sure that the car your butler ordered for you must have bulletproof glass and tires."

Then he said, "If you want to determine who the person behind the scenes is, then you can pretend the vehicle is out of control now and knock yourself unconscious. Perhaps you can get some clues in a while."

Bruce could see that this group of people should be aiming to kidnap him; otherwise, they wouldn't have aimed all the bullets at the chassis of the car.

Bruce was a bit hesitant. If it were him alone, he would absolutely do this. But he treated Shiler as an ordinary person. If he were kidnapped, the kidnappers absolutely wouldn't kill him, but it might not be the same for Shiler.

Shiler said, "I think you don't need to worry about me. I won't joke with my own life."

Bruce finally stopped the car. He turned the steering wheel hard, letting the car spin a few times on the road, and finally the tail hit a street lamp, as if the brakes had failed. Then he tilted his head and lay on the steering wheel, and Shiler also pretended to be unconscious.

That group of kidnappers still had some martial virtue. Seeing that there was more than one person in the car, they didn't directly kill them, but tied Shiler up and took him away together. They were still cautious, putting hoods and handcuffs on both of them.

The car drove for a while, it should have arrived at some slum. Bruce and Shiler were brought out and taken to a room.

Their hoods were taken off. Shiler and Bruce both pretended to have a shocked expression, but next Shiler was truly shocked, because that president actually walked out directly.

He really didn't expect that the mastermind would dare to walk out so swaggeringly, without even wearing a mask, and even wearing the suit he wore at work. Shiler was truly speechless.

Even if you don't know Bruce is Batman, you've covered up ninety-nine steps of doing bad things, and you're just missing this one?

If you pick Bruce up and shake him now, and he doesn't drop two pounds of micro-cameras all over his body, it would count as him relaxing his vigilance!

Of course, just like in the movie, this pot-bellied president began to talk at length about his evil plan.

He said he had long prepared a substitute for Bruce. After kidnapping Bruce, he could immediately replace him, and he originally wanted to achieve kidnapping by kidnapping Christine. As a result, he didn't expect Bruce to be so weak, and it only took a few gunmen to succeed.

In his boasting, he confessed all his crimes.

In short, after committing all the mistakes that villains in movies can make, Shiler lost patience with him. He said directly, "Bruce, do it."

Bruce jumped up directly. The handcuffs didn't trap him at all. The president stood too close, and was pressed down by Bruce in less than two seconds, and the handcuffs were also put on his own wrists.

The gunmen waiting outside the door rushed in and were subdued by Bruce one by one. When Gordon came, the president still wanted to rely on Victor to suppress him, but Gordon said, "Sorry, but the Commissioner was arrested by me on the spot just last night for sneaking into the file room to destroy evidence. Although the surveillance camera was broken by him, Harvey put another camera there under the guise of organizing sundries. The evidence is conclusive, buddy."

Bruce said, "It seems they are at their wits' end. Next, we still have one person to deal with."

Shiler took out a file from his briefcase and said, "Just as we planned before, I got the detailed map and personnel configuration of that chemical plant. I think some kind of freak in tights can start to move." ===== CHAPTER 30 =====
