"...Tell me the truth, Nash!"

But as soon as Nash took a step, the police officer sitting opposite him reprimanded him, and his eyes glanced unsuspectingly at the FBI.

Sending the FBI to arrest a criminal is no achievement for these state police officers, especially a criminal like Nash, who escaped from their state prison. Catching him demonstrates the incompetence of these police officers.

Turning his gaze to Xu Fu, Nash looked at the policeman standing before him. Although his face was filled with anger, Nash showed no fear. Instead, he closed his eyes contemptuously, saying defiantly, "You only caught me by luck. If it weren't for the damn FBI, you bastards would never have caught me. Even if you put me in jail, I won't stay there forever. Sooner or later, I'll come out of there just like before..."

"When the time comes, I will find all of you and take my revenge on you one by one."

Nash's attitude was extremely arrogant, but he had a lot of that arrogance.

Chapter 777 Released from Prison Again!

Nash was a repeat offender with a long criminal record, having served two terms as a World War I veteran. He was later arrested and sentenced to 25 years in prison for burglary and bombing a safe, was pardoned before President Wilson left office, but was subsequently sentenced to another 25 years in prison by a federal warrant for robbing a mail truck.

Relying on his "talent," Nash took advantage of the Great Depression, participating in over 200 bank robberies according to federal statistics, the vast majority of which were committed during the Depression. Until recently, his whereabouts were exposed during his honeymoon in Hot Springs, leading to his successful arrest by the FBI. The FBI successfully arrested him because his honeymoon in Hot Springs revealed his location.

You could say he's a complete bastard.

"Only if you can get out of prison again!"

In response to Nash's threat, the two state troopers grinned.

Given the evidence of Nash's crimes to date, he will face a long prison sentence once he enters prison, and due to the severity of his crimes, he will be placed in special custody and will not be able to find an opportunity to escape as a cook and laborer, which he was allowed to do in his previous prison life.

Nash clearly knew this, hence the displeasure on his face.

As Nash and the state police escorting him walked on foot, Xu Fu caught sight of the movements of three people in the other carriages.

Initially, Xu Fu thought that at some point they would have a detailed plan or agreement and begin their operation in secret.

However, the rescue operation was much simpler and more brutal than Xu Fu had anticipated.

Three men armed with assault rifles rushed into the carriage where Nash was, and screams erupted from the other carriages.

"Hands up, don't move!"

Seeing Nash sitting in the corner of the carriage, they raised their guns without hesitation and shouted at the FBI and state police. When Nash saw the three men, especially the familiar face among them, a smile appeared on his face.

The FBI and state police on the carriage reacted swiftly to the sudden appearance of these men and prepared to retaliate with their weapons.

Bang bang bang-

However, several armed men reacted faster than them, pulling the trigger almost instinctively.

Suddenly, gunshots, accompanied by screams, rang out throughout the entire train.

"Be careful, don't kill me too!"

In the dim light, Xu Fu thought he could also hear Nash's panicked screams.

Clearly, he hadn't expected his rescuers to be Mongolians like this, and without even thinking of doing anything, they immediately started fighting.

The intense firepower instantly shattered everything inside the carriage, leaving it riddled with holes like a beehive.

"Dad, dad..."

In the chaos, the lost children cried as they searched for their fathers on the carriage.

"careful!"

He reached out and pulled the child toward him; the stray bullet that had hit the roof of the carriage left a clear mark on Xu Fu's body.

Click!

Under the boy's gaze, a stray bullet struck the ground with a crisp sound, and Xu Fu raised his finger and quietly hissed at him.

Upon seeing this, the boy subconsciously nodded as well, his eyes never leaving the spot where Xu Fu had been hit by the bullet.

"They're all dead, let's go..."

This sudden shooting happened as quickly as it ended.

By the time the three men who fired the shots realized what was happening and approached, the four people in the corner of the carriage were already lying motionless on the ground.

Seeing Nash lying motionless and covered in blood, the group shook their heads and immediately turned and fled the scene.

The train stopped the moment the shots were fired, giving the three men a chance to escape.

Noticing the three people leaving, Xu Fu turned around and looked at Nash in the car with his wide, lifeless eyes, feeling inexplicably speechless.

Or perhaps Nash never imagined that he would die not at the hands of the police, but from the bullets fired by his partner who came to his rescue.

If he knew this, he probably wouldn't want these people to do it; at least if they didn't, he would be alive and in prison.

"Miller, Miller!"

Just as Xu Fu was considering the first crime scene, (bbaj) suddenly heard someone crying from behind the carriage.

"I'm here, Dad!"

Upon hearing his father's familiar voice, the little boy lying next to Xu Fu with his eyes closed immediately burst into tears.

An excited man rushed in amidst screams and hugged the boy as tightly as possible.

"Thank you, thank you... thank you... Here you go, sir, if it weren't for you... I... я..."

The man, holding the baby, looked at Xu Fu standing in front of him and thanked him somewhat incoherently.

"You're welcome, sir. This is all I need to do."

Frankly, although he had heard that someone was going to do this on the train, he did not expect the pedestrians to be so simple.

It was obvious that some of them seemed to be doing very well while they were listening on the train.

The result was a straight shot, regardless of the subject matter, Nash.

If that's the case, why would you do that, wasting your time and energy running a train? Let Nash go to jail; maybe he'll live longer.

If Xu Fu hadn't overheard their plan on the train and known that their goal was to save lives rather than kill, he might have genuinely treated what he was witnessing as a simple revenge killing.

"There are still people alive!"

Just as Xu Fu was at a loss, several brave passengers walked to the spot where the bullets were fired and found a policeman who had not been shot.

Amidst his screams, the railway police on the train quickly reached the surviving state police officer and called an ambulance.

The state trooper reacted quickly to the gunshot and was the first to fall.

Although he had multiple gunshot wounds, he was fortunate not to have suffered fatal injuries and thus survived the attack, becoming the sole survivor of the "train robbery."

"Dad, I just saw a bullet hit a gentleman..."

Amid the commotion, the boy who had been carried back to the back of his seat took the deflated bullet from his father's hand and whispered something to him.

"Then he bounced to the ground again."

After looking at the bullet in the boy's hand, the man glanced at Xu Fu absentmindedly. Judging from the boy's expression, he showed no signs of injury.

"I suspect he is the legendary Superman."

The boy held the deflated bullet in his hand and spoke in an admiring tone.

"That's right, he's Superman!"

The man gripped the child's hand tightly for a few seconds. Clearly, he didn't believe the child's claim of stopping a bullet. After all, reality isn't a comic book; how could anyone truly be unafraid of the power of a bullet? He simply took it as a hallucination caused by the child's confusion and repeated the phrase over and over.

However, this did not diminish his gratitude towards Xu Fu.

To him, Xu Fu was truly like a superhero who saved his child.

Chapter 778 Seeking cooperation

New York, Grand Central Station.

This "train robbery" caused the train to be delayed for several hours before it could resume operation.

The train arrived in New York City in the evening.

After saying goodbye to that person, he thanked him warmly and then took a car to the office of the Messenger newspaper.

Buses have recently become popular in New York City, with double-decker buses developed by General Motors spreading throughout the city and capturing a share of the city’s transportation market due to their affordable fares and more comfortable ride than streetcars.

At the same time, General Motors, the company that created the bus, was also looking for ways to boost its bus business, buying streetcar lines, including those in New York City, and converting them into bus lines.

In fact, this is a very obvious business strategy.

Over time, more and more car companies joined the tram acquisitions, turning tram lines into bus lines and eventually driving them out of the transportation industry.

At the same time, rumors began to circulate in newspapers about the impact of trams on urban traffic.

Clearly, there is pressure coming from the bus company.

The bus had been traveling for half an hour when Xu Fu got off. It was already dark in New York City, and the streetlights on both sides of the road were turning on one by one.

After such a long journey, even Xu Fu's current physical condition was affected by fatigue.

When I arrived at the street where the newspaper office was located with my suitcase, I could see the lights on in the distance.

Clang-

As soon as the door opened, the first thing that rang out was Old John's slightly surprised voice.

"The boss is back. When did he arrive?"
