Chapter 39 - Chapter 39: People are evil, Mingmei! (2 more)

Having learned from her previous escape experience, Akemi had clearly improved greatly.

After picking up the two people, she left the Metropolitan Police Department and went to the nearest parking lot to quickly switch cars.

After changing cars, she detoured to Miho Town Department Store for a second car change.

This time, not only did she change cars, but she also wore a wig for disguise.

After driving around for half an hour and confirming that no Police were tailing them, she finally went to look for the maple leaf gold coins hidden by Dino Cabane.

Dino Cabane directed Akemi to drive to a dilapidated building near the bridge.

After the three of them got out of the car, they walked straight towards the rooftop of the building.

Without needing Baishi Hui to urge him, Dino Cabane, in order to save his life, quickly took down the bags hidden in the ceiling.

Thud, thud, thud...

Sack after sack of considerable weight dropped to the ground, making a crisp sound of metal colliding!

Akemi excitedly stepped forward, opened a sack, and saw that it was piled high with sparkling gold!!

Her eyes immediately lit up. She quickly took out a gold coin, bit it, and exclaimed, "This texture, this feel, it's unmistakable! This gold is all real!!!"

"They are all real," Dino Cabane said quickly, afraid of being silenced. "The 15,000 maple leaf gold coins I stole are all here! Now they are all yours!"

"Great! I'm rich now!" Akemi opened the other bags again. After confirming they were all maple leaf gold coins inside, her face was filled with uncontrollable joy!!

"Can I go now?" Dino Cabane tentatively and nervously looked at Baishi Hui, very worried that the other party would kill him to silence him.

"Go!" Baishi Hui waved his hand, indicating that the other party could leave.

Upon hearing this, Dino Cabane tentatively took two steps towards the stairs.

He looked back and saw that Azu the Bandit had not stopped him, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Dino Cabane quickly went downstairs and left the building.

As he walked towards his safe house, he cursed, "Bastards, those two guys, they dared to sell me out to the Police! I will definitely not let them off!"

Thinking of the two subordinates who betrayed him, an angry expression immediately appeared on his face.

However, he hadn't walked far when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Dino Cabane looked down and saw that a large hole had opened up in his chest.

He didn't even have time to think before he collapsed directly onto the ground.

Rooftop.

After Baishi Hui confirmed that the other party was dead, he put down the sniper rifle.

This left Akemi, who was standing nearby, somewhat astonished. She couldn't help but say, "You... didn't you just say you were going to let him go?"

"He just looked back," Baishi Hui said calmly, casually tossing the sniper rifle aside. "This shows that he still had ill intentions and wanted to take the gold coins back!!"

"This... this reason is a bit... too... too far-fetched." Akemi's delicate eyebrows furrowed, finding it hard to accept this explanation.

Baishi Hui could see that Akemi was still kind and couldn't accept this kind of double-crossing.

He said, "It seems you don't believe my judgment... I bet there's definitely a tracker hidden inside these gold coins!"

As he spoke, Baishi Hui walked to a bag, untied the rope, and reached inside to search.

While searching, he simultaneously purchased a small tracker from the Azu the Bandit Mall.

"Here, see?" Baishi Hui took out a tracker, threw it to Akemi, and said confidently, "I knew this guy wasn't that honest!"

"The human heart is treacherous, Akemi!"

!!!! Akemi was completely startled after catching the signal device!

Looking at the signal device in her hand, she was utterly shocked and said, "This... this... is this real? Did that guy really want to take the gold coins back?"

Seeing Akemi's awkward expression, Baishi Hui was very pleased.

However, his only regret was that the Azu the Bandit Mall couldn't customize trackers.

If the tracker could be made to look exactly like a maple leaf gold coin, it would be even more convincing!

"Can someone who can rob a bank be a good person?" Baishi Hui said as he walked to another bag, reached in to search, and "found" another tracker, which he threw to Akemi.

He said, "In this line of work, double-crossing is normal! You're lucky you met me right away!"

"Otherwise, even if you went through great difficulty to rob the bank, your accomplice would probably run off with the money!"

"You'd be working for nothing, like a slave!"

Akemi caught the second tracker, and her whole demeanor instantly became somewhat dejected.

Only now did she realize how naive her behavior just now was!

She had thought she was keeping her promise and being righteous, but she hadn't expected it to be so childishly ridiculous.

If she had taken this bag of gold coins home, she would probably have just fallen asleep at night when Dino Cabane would sneak into her house and kill her with a knife.

After thinking of this, Akemi felt a chill down her spine and a wave of lingering fear in her heart.

She increasingly realized how dangerous it was to be involved in the underworld.

One wrong step, and you'll be doomed forever!

People without a lot of cunning simply cannot survive!

"I'm sorry, Azu-sensei." Akemi walked up to Baishi Hui, bowed deeply, and said with a face full of guilt, "I shouldn't have doubted you."

"It's okay, I don't blame you," Baishi Hui waved his hand and said magnanimously, "The reason I value you is because you are kind enough and trustworthy!"

"This way, I can confidently entrust my back to you!!"

After hearing these words, Akemi felt both grateful and guilty.

She was grateful for his trust in her, and guilty that she had actually questioned him.

She and Dino Cabane were complete strangers, and he even had a record of robbing banks.

On the other hand, Azu-sensei had always been combating crime and never targeted innocent ordinary citizens!

How could I have doubted Azu-sensei's judgment for the sake of such a criminal?

Sigh, I truly feel unworthy of his trust!

"I'm sorry, Azu-sensei! I... I will obey your orders unconditionally next time!" Akemi quickly expressed her loyalty.

Baishi Hui looked at Akemi and it seemed like he had completely fooled her.

He thought for a moment, and finally stopped talking about this topic, changing the subject to say, "Do you have a way to sell this batch of maple leaf gold coins?"

"I want to exchange this gold for cash through the Organization's channels!" Akemi stated her plan.

"Okay, as long as you have a way," Baishi Hui said, picking up the bags and moving them back into the car's trunk.

He was about to close the trunk door, but then thought of something and said, "You shouldn't be thinking of 'keeping one maple leaf gold coin to take home as a souvenir', right?"

...... Akemi's face turned red. She took out a maple leaf gold coin from her pocket and said timidly, "I thought it was very well-made, so I wanted to keep one. Is... is that not allowed?"

"Of course not!" Baishi Hui said irritably, "If someone sees the maple leaf gold coin and immediately tells the Police, how will you explain yourself then?"

...... Akemi wanted to say that she would hide it well and not let anyone else find it.

But after meeting Baishi Hui's gaze, she finally chose to apologize, "I'm sorry, I won't dare to next time."

She quickly put the maple leaf gold coin back.

Worried about being lectured further, Akemi quickly dashed back to the driver's seat.

Thump.

After Baishi Hui closed the trunk door, he stood beside the passenger seat and reminded her, "You should watch more crime movies in your free time."

"See how the criminals in them get caught!"

"Since you're in this line of work, you should at least spend some time learning some professional knowledge."

Akemi nodded frantically and said, "I will! Starting tomorrow, I'll watch a crime movie every day!"

Baishi Hui thought for a moment and still assigned some homework: "Then the next time we meet, I want to see your movie review, at least 800 words."

"Okay... okay." Akemi also knew that he was doing it for her own good. Thinking that she didn't have to work now and had a lot of free time, she agreed.
