Song Ying and Li Yun had already donned human skin masks. They all shared the unremarkable, mediocre, and vulgar appearance of middle-aged men from China.
"Leave here secretly immediately!" Gao Jianfei said solemnly.
"Jianfei, are you leaving tonight?" Song Ying knew the situation was critical after hearing this, but she couldn't help but ask.
“It’s actually very simple, Sakura. Just now, you used your true identity to ask ‘Old Jack,’ the owner of this farm, for lodging. In fact, you were already exposed at that time. The news has also issued a warrant for your arrest, which means we’ve all been exposed! Therefore, we must leave! Leave immediately!” Gao Jianfei said solemnly.
Song Ying said with great self-reproach, "Jianfei, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have brought everyone here, and I shouldn't have asked an acquaintance for lodging!"
Gao Jianfei shook his head and said, "This isn't your fault, Xiaoying. You know, I didn't know we'd be wanted worldwide so quickly, and even make international news. But it doesn't matter, our enemies already know we're in America because they've issued a warrant for 'Song Tianjie'. That means our whereabouts have already been exposed! Alright, let's leave!"
Gao Jianfei gently pushed open the door, peeked out and looked around for a while, then waved to Song Ying and the others, and whispered, "Let's go!"
In the darkness, a group of people crept out of the house and headed out of the farm.
Old Jack was in his room, holding a gun. He had already called the police, but he still didn't dare to rush into the house where Gao Jianfei and the others were staying to arrest them. After all, this huge farm was guarded by Old Jack alone, and with only one gun, he was hesitant to risk rushing in to arrest Gao Jianfei and his nine companions.
"They say there's a high bounty. They say the reward for catching these guys yourself is much higher than the reward for providing a lead! Uh..." Old Jack gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine until his eyes were a little red, then he mustered up his courage, opened the door, and carefully walked towards the room where Gao Jianfei and the others were staying.
Reaching the door, she kicked it open and shouted, "Miss Song Ying! Please raise your hands and come out!"
The room was pitch black. Old Jack mustered his courage and called out for three minutes, but there was no response. He hurriedly went in to turn on the light, but there was no trace of Gao Jianfei and the others.
Old Jack spat, cursing his bad luck. Just then, sirens blared outside the farm, and a dozen police cars, flashing their lights, surrounded the farm!
Chapter 460 Dale Holman
Chapter 460 Dale Holman
After Gao Jianfei and the women disguised themselves and secretly left Old Jack's farm, Old Jack mustered his courage, grabbed a gun, and rushed into their house, only to find it empty. Just then, a dozen police cars surrounded the farm.
The police lights illuminated the entire farm as bright as day! The nearby farmers were also startled by this strange event and rushed over to Old Jack, peering around curiously.
At that moment, several burly Black police officers were questioning old Jack.
Old Jack insisted that Song Ying had brought eight Chinese men to his farm to stay overnight.
Then, a detective showed Old Jack a photo of Song Tianjie. Old Jack examined it carefully for a moment and asserted, "Yes! It's him! He's definitely one of the Chinese men Song Ying brought!"
Several Black police officers exchanged glances, their expressions turning serious.
Then, one officer returned to his patrol car, while several others continued to question old Jack.
Inside the police car that returned to its station, in the back seat sat a middle-aged Caucasian man. He wore a very gentlemanly white suit with a red bow tie, which perfectly accentuated his elegance and nobility. A natural, yet unique and enigmatic smile played at the corners of his mouth. He exuded an aura that was absolutely unlike that of ordinary people!
“Uh, Mr. Holman, old Jack the rancher, I’m quite certain that the Chinese national ‘Song Tianjie’ is with ‘Song Ying’.” The policeman said respectfully to the elegant man in white.
The white-robed man slightly raised an eyebrow, a glint of shrewdness flashing within him, but he quickly concealed it. "So, where is the person now?"
"The person has already escaped." The policeman glanced at the man in white with a slightly timid look, his expression filled with fear.
In fact, if anyone knew that this police officer was the Los Angeles Police Department Chief, they would be shocked! Why would the chief of a city be so respectful to this man in white?
However, if one knew that this man in white was 'Hollman', then it wouldn't be surprising at all!
Holman, an American, was a guy with a legendary life!
Holman came from an ordinary American family; his father was a power engineer, and his mother was a housewife. When Holman was very young, his parents took him on a trip to Asia. However, this trip brought a terrible, catastrophic consequence to Holman's parents… Holman disappeared!
Indonesian nationality has disappeared!
At the time, the Indonesian "government" tried its best, but failed to bring Holman back.
Holman's parents returned to the United States, devastated. It wasn't until three years later, after the birth of their second child, that they gradually emerged from their profound grief and began to forget the nightmare.
However, this is not the end of the story.
Twenty years later, Holman miraculously returned to the United States!
The year after he returned to the United States, his younger brother, Holman's parents' second child, died mysteriously. Then, three years later, Holman inexplicably gained direct control of New York's underground mafia. He controlled all of New York's drug trafficking markets, sex establishments, casinos, underground banks... No one knows how Holman did it.
Later, the U.S. government intervened and investigated Holman. They discovered that since Holman entered the New York underworld, all four major leaders and eleven minor leaders of the original New York underworld had died mysteriously!
Then, something terrible happened.
The officers investigating Holman died one after another in their own homes or on the highway! No doctor could effectively determine the cause of these officers' deaths!
The following year, a U.S. government official ordered the investigation into Holman to be abandoned.
As a result, Holman's influence in New York reached its zenith!
Even the New York City Police Department would be somewhat afraid of Holman!
"Mr. Holman, rest assured, I will allocate police resources to conduct a thorough search of 'Song Ying' and 'Song Tianjie' throughout New York City! Please trust the capabilities of the New York Police Department!" the sheriff solemnly promised Holman.
"Then, Sheriff, please take me back to my estate first. Remember, starting tonight, set up checkpoints and conduct a massive raid on all hotels, motels, and bus stations in New York City!" Holman said casually. He gave off an air of unfathomable depth.
“Yes, my esteemed Mr. Holman!” the sheriff nodded. Then, while personally driving Holman home, he nervously made detailed arrangements over the phone for tonight's operation, including the deployment of police forces.
Holman’s Lodge, a suburb of Manhattan, New York City.
This place resembles a military base. Dozens of armed private bodyguards guard it. An electric fence has been erected. There are even armored vehicles and private helicopters within the resort.
After returning to the estate, Holman went straight to the living room of the main villa.
On the crocodile-skin sofa in the living room sat a tall, thin white man. He had an arrogant expression on his face, his legs crossed, a wine glass in one hand and a cigar between his other.
“Deacon Dale!” Holman bowed respectfully.
If someone saw the New York City Police Commissioner being respectful, courteous, and even fearful of Holman, they wouldn't be surprised; but if someone saw Holman being so obedient, almost subservient, to someone in this small corner of New York, then that would be truly astonishing!
Dell!
The guardian deacon of the Holy Land! And one of the few foreign deacons in the Holy Land!
He wielded immense power! He controlled all the Holy Land students in North and South America.
Of course, although Holman held immense power in New York, he was merely an ordinary Holy Land student!
Before Dale, one must bow down and submit!
Dale was naturally there to apprehend Gao Jianfei! In fact, when the Holy Land Venerable deduced that Gao Jianfei had disguised himself as 'Song Tianjie' and come to the United States, he immediately dispatched Dale back to the Americas to personally oversee the capture of Gao Jianfei.
Dell also arrived in New York by private helicopter; Gao Jianfei had just arrived in New York when Dell followed.
Uh… Gao Jianfei’s plane wasn’t a direct flight from Beijing to New York because he was in a hurry. There were short layovers in Geneva, Switzerland, and Cuba. Therefore, Gao Jianfei took off before Dale, but the two arrived in New York almost simultaneously.
"Deacon Dale, we've made a discovery! It concerns Gao Jianfei!" Holman reported respectfully.
Dell's eye twitched. "Hmm? You've already found it so quickly?"
“Yes, Deacon Dale.” Holman gathered his thoughts and said, “In the suburbs of Queens, a rancher called the police, saying he found Song Ying, and with her was ‘Song Tianjie.’ Of course, we all know very well that ‘Song Tianjie’ is Gao Jianfei in disguise! That is to say, Gao Jianfei, Song Ying, and the women he keeps are indeed in New York!”
"Go on." Dale's expression showed a slight hint of tension and excitement, then returned to calm, demonstrating his composed inner state. He was not an impulsive hothead.
"Sir, I've already issued arrest warrants to all the gangs in the New York underworld. From this moment on, on the streets and in subway stations of New York, all the thugs, hooligans, pickpockets, prostitutes, and drug addicts will be on high alert, searching for 'Song Tianjie.' Furthermore, the New York police are cooperating with us very well. If Gao Jianfei doesn't leave New York, then we'll find him sooner or later!" Holman was quite confident. In New York, if he was determined to find someone, then with the manpower he controlled, it was relatively easy.
“But, Holman, you have to know that Gao Jianfei can disguise himself. Today he could be ‘Song Tianjie,’ but tomorrow he could be you… or he could be me!” Dale said, rubbing his temples.
“This…” Holman paused, then sighed. “Indeed, Gao Jianfei is a rather cunning man. When Old Jack reported his whereabouts, we gathered police forces and rushed to the farm within 15 minutes, but Gao Jianfei had already vanished! He is a very alert person and not easy to deal with.”
“Hmm,” Dale said thoughtfully, then slowly added, “Hollman, listen to me, you have to do this…”
…… …… ……
Gao Jianfei, Song Ying, and the others, after disguising themselves again, slipped out of Old Jack's farm. In fact, they didn't immediately flee, but instead quietly lay in ambush in the nearby woods. When they discovered a large number of police cars entering the farm, they exchanged glances, each seeing shock in the other's eyes.
That's too fast!
The NYPD was incredibly fast! If Gao Jianfei and his group had been even a second later, they would have been caught red-handed!
In addition, the New York Police Department mobilized more than a dozen police cars and dozens of officers. This was a huge operation, almost like dealing with terrorists!
"Let's go!" Gao Jianfei observed for a few minutes before leading the women away from the suburbs. His heart was heavy; he knew this trip to America would be anything but pleasant.
In fact, Gao Jianfei also understood that not only in the United States, but in any country in the world, there would be no paradise for him.
The Holy Land was so terrifying that it was something Gao Jianfei had never expected!
Gao Jianfei and the others chose to walk along desolate and dark roads. As they walked, they used their hearing to nervously observe their surroundings. Once they spotted a car approaching in the distance, they quickly hid in the roadside grass or behind trees.
It took more than half an hour to get back to downtown Queens.
“We need a place to stay, but it seems like that’s a real problem,” Gao Jianfei said with a helpless shrug to the women.
Chapter 461 Finding a Place to Stay
Chapter 461 Finding a Place to Stay
Gao Jianfei, along with Li Yun, Song Ying, and the other women, disguised themselves again and began strolling through downtown Queens. Although Gao Jianfei knew the situation was extremely dangerous, his appearance had been carefully altered; he was no longer the infamous "Song Tianjie," but rather an ordinary, even somewhat sleazy, middle-aged Chinese man. Gao Jianfei knew that this face was, for the time being, flawless. Even if the "enemies" on the American side were to notice something amiss, it wouldn't be a matter of a short time.
"Safe for now." Gao Jianfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands behind his back, and began to plan how to find a hotel to stay in, while also keeping an eye on his surroundings. He whispered to the women, "Don't be too nervous, everyone. Don't show any unusual expressions. Just like always, no one can see through our disguise!"
As he walked, Gao Jianfei realized that something was still amiss.
Police cars occasionally drove by on the street, with two or three American police officers patrolling the streets like they were on high alert, checking and comparing things.
In addition, there were some guys riding off-road motorcycles with hippie hairstyles, speeding through the streets; some carefree guys also appeared from time to time on the streets and alleys, holding photos in their hands, their eyes wandering around like sharp eagle eyes.
And those police officers completely ignored those lazy, good-for-nothing guys.
Gao Jianfei knew perfectly well... It seemed that Queens, and even the entire city of New York, had been brought under control! Moreover, it was being monitored by both the police and the law!
Gao Jianfei never expected that the Holy Land's power was so exaggerated that it had even spread to the United States!
Not far away, two black police officers slowly walked towards Gao Jianfei and his group.
Gao Jianfei glanced slightly to the left and led the women directly into a small alleyway.
The deep alley was littered with garbage bags, and a few stray dogs were foraging for food. A musty smell permeated the air.
Although Song Ying, Li Yun, and the other women were all disguised as men, they were still quite proper women. Therefore, they couldn't help but frown and cover their mouths with their hands.
Gao Jianfei shrugged helplessly and said, "Things are getting worse and worse."
Suddenly, at the end of the alley, three flamboyantly dressed Caucasians were squatting there, puffing away on cigarettes! Gao Jianfei clearly saw that two of the men were smoking what appeared to be hand-rolled tobacco, their faces showing an expression of euphoria, as if they were in another world, a world of bliss. The remaining man, however, was using a syringe to inject something into a vein in his inner thigh.
Gao Jianfei and the others stopped in their tracks. They all knew what these guys were doing.
drug!
"Jianfei, let's leave this alley, it's so dirty!" Song Ying's expression changed slightly.
At that moment, the guy who was getting an injection suddenly opened his eyes. "Oh, you're here to cause trouble? Asian?" he said in English in a mocking tone.
Scattered around them were several photos. Gao Jianfei had excellent eyesight; in the dim moonlight and under the streetlights, he could clearly see that the photos were of 'Song Tianjie' and 'Song Ying'!
Gao Jianfei crossed his arms and walked towards the three people without making a sound.
