Chapter 484: 484 Chapter: Lucky Star_1

Without a doubt, most of those carrying out this road robbery were novices, which is why Angle deduced that there was a very high probability that they would not hesitate to strafe the back row should they feel that the situation inside the carriage was spiraling out of control.

After all, they hadn’t intended to leave any survivors from the start.

However, strafing in such a confined space was undoubtedly foolish, as it could easily lead to friendly fire and there was a high chance of getting hit by ricochets.

Having said that...

It seemed inconceivable that all the Road Tyrants had died from crossfire or stray bullet mishaps; it was a one in ten million chance, something even movies wouldn’t dare to depict, yet it had become reality.

He had merely disarmed them and done nothing else; all the Road Tyrants had died by their own or their teammates’ hands.

And when he checked on the passengers in the back, who were still unsettled, he found that aside from scrapes and bruises from the collision, not a single person had been hit by a stray bullet.

This bizarre phenomenon wasn’t happening for the first time.

In fact, it was with the aid of these "miracles" that he had managed to escape this far; otherwise, as a three-star rescuer, it would have been impossible for him to turn the tables under the scrutiny of the Bureau of Exception Case Investigation and the Review Meeting.

He even suspected that some "concerned citizen" was always covertly following him, making everything seem like mere coincidence.

His warrant was special after all; the Bureau had assembled a team specifically for the chase.

But no matter what, this place was not safe to stay for long.

Having realized this, Angle didn’t hesitate. He got off the vehicle and mounted the transportation left behind by the Road Tyrants, setting off on a new journey.

...

The next morning.

Lu Xiang had just arrived at the office when an unexpected visitor greeted her.

Hanna had arrived earlier than she had, and when she entered, her old classmate was curled up like a stray cat, sleeping on the office sofa. On the coffee table lay the electronic publications of "The Love Story of Law Enforcement Department," Issues One and Two.

"Time to get up,"

Lu Xiang said, pushing Hanna with resignation.

That morning, she discovered a startling similarity in her post-lazy period—treating her office sofa as another home. Before this, Song Lan had almost taken up residence there.

"Oh, you’re here,"

Hanna opened her eyes, bleary and unfocused, and after steadying her thoughts, she spoke first, "Who wrote these two issues, and where are the contents of the following issues? Is Nami 2333 one of your staff here?"

She did remember bumping into a navigation robot in the corridor of the Law Enforcers department in the middle of the night, which was named Nami, but it denied that it had published these electronic publications.

With Hanna’s understanding of artificial intelligence, they often don’t lie.

"This is my office,"

Lu Xiang felt the need to emphasize this point; Hanna must have been muddled by sleep to ask a question as perplexing as "Master, what’s your profession?"

"Oh, right, I came to see you,"

After Lu Xiang’s reminder, Hanna finally remembered the reason she had come to see Lu Xiang overnight, "The headquarters contacted me yesterday; they sent me some photos, and I would like you to take a look."

"Why do you want me to see them?"

Despite sounding slightly exasperated, Lu Xiang still took the phone that Hanna handed over.

To Lu Xiang’s question, Hanna responded confidently, "Because your grades in crime analysis class were higher than mine. You were first, and I was second. Our final grades were the same, but the teacher still gave you the first place based on your regular performance."

"Why do you still remember that?"

Back in school, Hanna had always been bothered by this, and Lu Xiang hadn’t expected that after such a long time since graduation, she would still be bringing it up.

In Song Lan’s words, holding grudges is not conducive to one’s psychological well-being.

Therefore, Song Lan recommended getting revenge on the spot, trying not to carry the emotions of hatred over to the next day.

However, after seeing those photos, her expression became much more serious. Judging by the bloodstains at the scene, there might have been as many as a dozen victims at the crime scene in the photos.

The cause of death was gunshot wounds.

The victims had fought fiercely inside the narrow bus cabin.

Hanna provided an even more interesting clue, "Investigations revealed they died by suicide, oh no, more precisely, they were killed by their own and each other’s guns. A group of hijackers had taken over a long-distance bus, not having killed a single passenger besides the driver."

"Psychics?"

"No, just a coincidence."

Hanna shook her head, "The department has interrogated all the survivors, and their testimonies were consistent. Apart from the missing Angle Saffire, they all were simply innocent victims."

Not only that, but the surviving passengers also unanimously emphasized that Angle hadn’t fired a single shot the entire time; he just took a gun from one of the Road Tyrants and kept hiding behind the barrier.

After the agents investigated the scene time and again, they were reluctant to believe but had to conclude that everything was a coincidence.

The Investigative Bureau couldn’t make heads or tails of this one-in-a-million coincidence, so they reached out to Hanna, who was recuperating in The Seventeenth Region overnight, sending her the photos and a series of complex investigation reports.

"This Angle Saffire is really toxic."

Hanna couldn’t help but complain, "The headquarters now suspects he’s right here in The Seventeenth Region. What’s he doing here if he has nothing better to do?"

"Karmic entanglement."

Lu Xiang didn’t miss the opportunity to hit back, teasingly saying, "Don’t forget, you were the one who faked the scene back then. He has fallen to where he is today, and you bear more than 90% of the responsibility."

Hanna’s eyes widened in surprise, and she was speechless for a long time. After struggling to speak for a while, she finally said, "Lu Xiang, you’ve changed; you’ve actually started making sarcastic remarks!"

Back in their Morning Star Academy days, she had always seen Lu Xiang as a rival. Previously, whenever she provoked her, Lu Xiang would merely respond with a light smile or strike back hard in specific competitions; Lu Xiang was someone who never reveled in verbal jousting.

"Of course I’ve changed."

Lu Xiang didn’t deny it, "It’s all from learning with Song Lan."

"He knows so much."

Hanna sighed; every time she saw Song Lan, she would learn something new, "Speaking of which, where is he?"

"Sleeping in at home."

"Ah?"

"He claims that such secretive behavior has hurt his ’effective soul,’ and he needs time to recuperate."

Lu Xiang gestured towards the electronic publication on the coffee table with her lips.

Song Lan was indeed the most cunning person she had ever met.

Even when the situation was beyond hope, he was still able to seize the opportunity, present his terms, and ultimately succeed in securing a three-day vacation before everything was settled.

Hanna enviously exclaimed, "That must be nice, I wish I could sleep in at home."

Unfortunately, just when she had a few days of peace, headquarters personally assigned her a new task, "Actually, the content of the photos is not the most coincidental part. In fact, the agents have already tracked down Angle’s whereabouts and had even reached an agreement with the long-distance bus company in advance. They set up a snare and were just waiting for Angle to show up. If it weren’t for the group of Road Tyrants that popped up out of nowhere, Angle would definitely be on his way back to The First Region under escort by now."

On the surface, these events seem unrelated, all constructed from a series of pure coincidences.

But can so many coincidences laid out before one’s eyes really be explained away with just the word "luck"?
