Chapter 1281: Want to Hit a Pretty Face

The people in the truck were all dressed like workers. Some of them were even wearing city council vests, and looked like officials who had come to help with disaster relief.

Luke was intrigued.

There weren’t many people at the subway station. There were only two patrol officers guarding the entrance to bar entry to civilians.

Thanks to Batman’s efforts, very few people were injured in the subway station, and with little to do, rescue workers had quickly left.

After Simon threatened them with the “big school surprise,” the police force almost immediately started to move, and they scattered to check various schools.

Luke and Tony both realized that Simon was playing another trick.

He said the police couldn’t evacuate the students, or he would directly trigger the “big surprise,” but he hadn’t said that the police weren’t allowed to search.

Sure enough, the police started to mobilize everyone, and so did the FBI and Homeland Security.

After all, agents from both organizations had also been in the vehicle at the time, and their kids were also studying in New York.

What if they didn’t go searching for this thing, and it was their kid who was sitting on this lethal weapon?

They all knew very well that Simon’s threat was equivalent to using everyone in all the schools as hostages.

If the authorities directly told all the schools to end class early, that would create a commotion.

Not only did they not have the right to do that, the other party could directly blow everyone to pieces.

As a result, New York would be plunged into chaos.

No matter how large NYPD’s police force was, it wouldn’t be enough.

Many of the upper-class had heard the news and started to leave New York.

The subway station incidents hadn’t affected these bigshots at all. In any case, they would never take the subway.

High above the Wall Street subway station, many people were still standing in front of the windows to watch the show. They took a lot of photos and videos, which were uploaded to F2F and played on the news; they didn’t feel any sense of threat at all.

Now that the threat of a 2,400-pound weapon had appeared, many bigshots couldn’t sit still anymore.

In fact, the bigshots who had school children were already starting to get the news.

They either went to school themselves or arranged for their kids to be picked up right away.

Even if there was only a 1 in 1,446 chance, normal parents wouldn’t want to take such a risk with their kids.

Also, even if Simon said that the bomb was in a school, was it really?

Who knew if the criminals had hidden another one as a follow-up somewhere else? Bad guys liked to do this in movies and TV shows, and real bigshots weren’t stupid enough to believe the criminals.

Reality wasn’t a TV drama. No protagonist was destined to save everything in the end.

Nobody liked to entrust their lives to others. Even the officers on duty near the subway station were a little distracted.

While it wasn’t their assignment to look for the “big surprise,” who didn’t have relatives, friends, or family?

They couldn’t directly reveal word about the “big surprise,” but they could get someone to quickly take their kids out of school.

For a moment, there was traffic, phone and Internet congestion.

The whole city felt like an ant’s nest that had just been poked. The people who sensed the danger subconsciously stayed away from it.

Luke, who had just gone downstairs, saw his colleague Ricky from the Detective Bureau step forward and stop the heavy-duty truck. He then led the “workers” toward the subway station, as if he was going to follow them.

At that moment, Ricky’s phone rang.

He took it out and said a few words before he looked around. For a moment, he didn’t continue toward the subway station.

The “workers” next to him looked at each other and didn’t say anything.

When Ricky saw Luke running over, he hurriedly waved. “Here, Luke.”

Luke ran over and pointed. “The boss wants you to go over. He needs an old hand to direct the officers. As for watching this place, let me do it.”

Ricky slapped his forehead. “That’s true. I’ve been too busy.”

He then turned around and smiled at the workers. “This officer will take you in. Be careful.” With that, he ran to the logistics van not far away.

The workers exchanged looks, and one of them urged, “Officer, we have a lot of work to do. Can we go in now?”

Luke nodded with a smile. “Okay, come with me.”

He took big strides far ahead of the workers.

He walked to the subway entrance and said to the two patrol officers, “The engineering team will take over from here. You don’t have to worry about it. The boss is short of people for other things. You should go.”

The two patrol officers didn’t doubt his word. They nodded and ran off.

Once the engineering team was inside, loiterers naturally wouldn’t be permitted entry. There really was no need for them to guard this place.

Also, they had heard all sorts of inside information over the comms, and knew that the department had even pulled interns from the police academy into the city to cooperate with the search.

As official police officers, they couldn’t slack off here.

Thus, nobody from NYPD was paying attention to the subway station, except Luke.

The workers around him weren’t too surprised. They had clearly heard the conversation earlier, and they actually knew more about the current situation than most people in New York City.

It was normal for the police to be short of manpower; it would be strange if they were relaxed.

Looking at Luke’s handsome and young face, a rough man felt sour. Cursing the pretty boy in his heart, he decided to kill him when they entered later.

What they didn’t know was that while Dustin and Ricky were talking, Dustin was looking at them with mocking eyes.

Did they know that the best fighter in NYPD was right next to them?

Dustin and Ricky weren’t worried at all. They simply gave them a look before leaving with the patrol officers.

Luke said that he would take care of things here. They just needed to act like usual so that Simon didn’t notice anything wrong.

Luke chuckled inwardly when he saw Dustin and the others leave.

With these colleagues around, it would be inevitable that they would worry about him and come running over to check, which would make things difficult.

Thinking that, he didn’t stop as he walked into the subway station with the workers and explained the situation. “There’s nothing wrong with the station, but a subway line over there was blown up. You might have to move these two cars first…”

Pu! Pu! Pu!

Gunshots rang out behind him.

“Ah!” Luke screamed and rolled down the steps before he stopped at the bottom. He lay unmoving, and blood immediately seeped out under him.

Two workers sneered and put their guns away. One of them even cursed. “F*ck, I hate pretty boys like that. I really wanted to shoot him in the face.”
