Fang Hongjin was not having a good time either. He heard the sound of V sneaking up on him and immediately became alert and confused about the situation in the garage.

If the man coming over now was the flat-headed man who fired the gun, who was the one he was trying to attack from under the car just now? Was there a third person in the garage

No matter what, the flat-headed man was still an enemy. Fang Hongjin took advantage of him moving and suddenly attacked him, breaking his left arm. But he didn't expect that he could still shoot despite the severe pain. Fang Hongjin didn't dare to take the risk, so he stepped back and hid in the darkness, waiting for the next opportunity.

While V was enduring the severe pain and Fang Hongjin was looking for an opportunity, they both heard the garage shutter door rising. Both of them changed their expressions.

V fired a shot, and as sparks flew, he saw a figure rushing into the half-opened garage.

Fang Hongjin rushed out as the gunshot rang out. He had realized that although the third person in the garage could not be Wang Bing and Liao Laopao, he must be someone closely related to them.

Zheng Yubai knew that as long as he opened the garage door, the other two would be alerted, so he did not wait for the garage door to open, and immediately twisted his waist and ducked his head to get in. There was a bang behind him, and V's bullet hit the slowly rising shutter door, sparks flew everywhere.

As soon as Zheng Yubai entered the garage, he immediately pressed the button on the car key, opened the car door, and got in the car.

The car door locked with a click, Zheng Yubai inserted the key and started the car.

The rolling door continued to rise, and another gunshot rang out, hitting the left rearview mirror squarely, shattering it into pieces.

At the same time, a figure rushed in. Zheng Yubai gritted his teeth and suddenly turned off the headlights in front of the car.

Fang Hongjin had just rushed into the garage and was about to smash the car window when a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him, blinding him, and the sound of the car engine also roared violently. Fang Hongjin's eyes were dazzled. In front of him was a car that was about to rush out, and there was a gunman behind him. He knew he couldn't be reckless, so he could only dodge to the side and stick his body tightly to the wall in the garage.

As soon as Fang Hongjin dodged, Zheng Yubai had already stepped on the accelerator, and before the shutter door was fully opened, the Maserati President roared in and out. The roof and the shutter door scraped against each other, making a harsh friction sound.

V shot the rearview mirror and shattered it. He didn't know what part was hit. Just as he was about to go over to check, the headlights in front of him were bright, which not only dazzled Fang Hongjin, but also made V, who had gradually become accustomed to the darkness, put his hand in front of his eyes. When he put his hand down, he saw the Maserati rushing out of the garage frantically and crashing into him.

V was shocked and rolled on the ground to avoid the attack. The Maserati rushed past him with a roar, bringing with it a strong gust of wind.

V got up from the ground and could only see the taillights of the Maserati. He raised his gun and fired three shots, but unfortunately the car had already turned a corner and rushed up one floor from the winding driveway.

When Fang Hongjin came out of the garage, he saw V fire three shots in a row, and the target he was looking for turned a corner and disappeared.

The bright light of the Maserati's headlights disappeared, and the garage was dark again. Fang Hong stomped his feet and ignored V, chasing the direction where the Maserati disappeared. He just hoped that Sun Wukong, who had just answered the phone on the ground, could stop the car or find some clues.

V was still on guard against Fang Hongjin. After waiting for a long time and hearing no more sound, he finally returned to the ground, dragging his broken arm.

Zheng Yubai drove the Maserati to the upper floor, turned through the spiral passage, crashed into the railing at the door, and rushed onto the street.

As soon as he returned to the ground, Zheng Yubai understood why the power suddenly went out in the garage. The entire Jinghai City was dark except for the lights of the cars. The moonlight, which was rarely noticed in big cities, became the most important light source at this moment.

Power outages in entire cities are not uncommon in history, and the most serious one was the famous New York blackout, which not only caused huge economic losses, but also triggered a lot of panic and riots.

There was no riot in Jinghai, the city seemed very peaceful, except for this Maserati.

Many citizens who were waiting for the power to be restored on the street saw a crazy Maserati flashing on the street. Because of the power outage, all traffic lights were not working, and many cars were parked cautiously on the roadside. This also allowed the Maserati to recklessly pass through the empty streets and head straight to the riverside.

"That Maserati has appeared and is heading to the river." Someone rushed to tell others. Countless people chased the Maserati to the river.

Zheng Yubai drove his Maserati in the dark city like a ferocious beast, staring with two shining eyes, galloping non-stop. His car was very fast, and a moment later he had arrived at the riverside. Zheng Yubai did not slow down at all, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, crashed through the guardrail on the riverside, and rushed into the surging river.

Countless people who rushed to the scene after hearing the news witnessed this astonishing scene. Amidst the splashes of water, the ten million they dreamed of took off with wings and flew away.

Countless people gathered on the shore; the cars rushing into the river attracted them far more than the metropolis with power outage behind them.

Zheng Yubai didn't know how many people were regretting the Maserati. He opened the door and escaped the moment the car fell into the water. After swimming underwater for a while, he landed in a secluded place far away.

"I hope the river water can clear away all traces." Zheng Yubai looked at the river water that had long since returned to calm, wrung out the water from his clothes, rested for a while, and then found an empty path and headed towards the safe apartment.

The power supply to Jinghai City was restored at midnight that day. The huge economic losses caused by the three-hour city-wide power outage should have been the front-page headlines of all media the next day. However, an even more shocking piece of news stunned all the media personnel who planned to interview the incident.

Jinghai Museum, a national museum with countless national treasures, was robbed on the night of the blackout. Without power supply, the world's most advanced security system worth $100 million was no different from a wooden fence.

After breaking through the security system, the thieves knocked out six security guards, entered the museum's national treasure house, and stole the museum's treasure, "Along the River During the Qingming Festival."

Even more shocking news is yet to come. Under the constant questioning of the media, the power supply department of Jinghai City finally couldn't bear the pressure and revealed the truth about the blackout.

Someone used hacking technology to break into the core of the power supply system and implanted a virus, which not only caused a city-wide power outage in Jinghai, but also destroyed the backup power supplies of some important departments.

The media easily linked the blackout to the theft of national treasures, and a series of bizarre speculations filled the pages of various media. Compared with these, the news that a Maserati rushed into the river was insignificant.

In this chaotic situation, there was no news from Yao Qian and the Sanjiang Society. The unexpected calm made Zheng Yubai feel a little uneasy.

Zheng Yubai only learned all this after he woke up the next afternoon. Before that, Du Bisheng brought him two "good news".

The God of Gamblers Competition will be held in a week. The host of this competition is Yao Qian, the richest man in Beijing. It is estimated that he will not have time to continue the investigation for some time.

The second "good news" is that Du Bisheng has registered Zheng Yubai for the God of Gamblers Contest, and his entry number is: 08. (To be continued)
