What you fear most is what will happen to you.

Because she was taking a detour, Josie passed through a park path with very few cars, when suddenly a person darted out in front of her.

Josie instinctively slammed on the brakes.

In addition, because the road was narrow, he was not going very fast, so he did not crash into the road.

But after seeing who had suddenly appeared, Josie regretted slamming on the brakes.

Because of his extremely tall stature, Josh estimated he was probably two meters tall, but that wasn't the key point. The key point was that the other person was holding a gun and pointing it at Josh.

"Hey, buddy, don't be impulsive, we can talk about anything!" Facing the gun, Josie decisively raised his hands, but in his heart he was already prepared to take out a shotgun from the system warehouse and give the other party a good whack when he wasn't paying attention.

“Excuse me, sir, we just need a car!” The tall man gestured with his gun, indicating for Josie to get out of the car.

Ha, quite polite, but that doesn't change the fact that you're about to die... But... you guys?

Just as Josie was wondering what was going on, another elderly man emerged from the bushes by the roadside. He was carrying a black leather bag, dressed in a suit and tie, and looked quite gentlemanly.

Wait, Lyndon Schneider? When Josie saw the old man's appearance, she immediately remembered the robbery news in the newspaper that morning.

Wow, I'm really lucky.

“I’m sorry, sir, but we really need a car!” Lyndon Schneider politely removed his hat, bowed to Josie, and said with a slight apology. But the next moment, after seeing Josie’s face clearly, he paused slightly and said, “Young man, what is Heinz Kahn to you?”

When Josie heard the name, she was stunned, because it was the name of her deceased father.

"You know my father?" Josie frowned.

“Oh, of course, then you must be Josh Kahn. I am Alvin Lyndon Schneider, a friend of your father,” the old man said.

"Heh, of course I know you're Lyndon Schneider. My name is Josh Kahn. We're in the same newspaper, you know," Josh thought to himself.

However, since the other party was able to call out his father's name, what he said should be true.

Moreover, although the other person spoke English, it had a strong Bavarian accent. Coupled with the German surname Schneider and the somewhat rigid manner of doing things, he was probably of German or Austrian descent.

“But I’ve never heard my father mention that he had a notorious thief friend.” Josie raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically, “And I don’t think any friend would let someone point a gun at someone else’s child.”

“I understand. If I were a father, I wouldn’t tell my child that I have a friend who’s a criminal.” However, somewhat unexpectedly, the old man didn’t seem to care about Josie’s sarcasm. Instead, he generously agreed with his statement and then turned to the big man and said, “Dix, put the gun down.”

The big man clearly trusted Lyndon Schneider, and immediately put down his gun.

“Kid, I’m so sorry for causing you this trouble. You’ve probably seen the newspapers; we’re in a really bad situation right now. The police are after us, so we can only borrow your car. When the police come, you don’t need to keep it a secret. Just tell them the truth, and I’m sure they won’t give you any trouble. Also, take these things; consider it our compensation!” Just as Josie was thinking about whether to take this opportunity to shoot the seemingly dangerous big man, Lyndon Schneider apologized while opening his black leather bag and pulling out a handful of priceless rough diamonds, stuffing them into Josie’s hands.

This made Josie a little embarrassed.

Although his Lincoln Continental is quite valuable, and it was a gift from Margot, it has a lot of meaning.

But the handful of gems the other party shoved into his hand was enough to buy at least a dozen cars.

As Josie played with the jewelry in her hand, she couldn't help but seem lost in thought.

Then, just as the other person started the car, he spoke.

"I think you might need a hiding place."

Chapter 38 We accidentally killed an athlete

Lyndon Schneider and Handyx are both wanted criminals now, so Josie certainly wouldn't bring them to her home.

That would be irresponsible to Margot, and also irresponsible to himself.

So the place he took the two of them was his parents' old small apartment.

Although he had been thinking about selling it for a long time, he hadn't been able to sell it yet.

Bringing the two here gives him ample reason to deny responsibility should they be arrested and implicate him later.

For example, Lyndon Snyder only had a relationship with his father, knew his father's address, and had a key to it, so his going there had nothing to do with Josh Kahn.

As long as Josie sticks to this point, even if the two try to implicate him, the police and the courts will have absolutely no way to convict him.

Moreover, if either of them had any sense, the chances of them blaming Josie would be very low.

Despite the large amount of jewelry they stole, according to the morning newspaper, apart from one security guard being slightly injured, there were no other casualties during the entire heist.

As long as they didn't commit murder, even if the two were arrested, it wouldn't be considered a serious crime according to the laws of that period.

Especially since both of them are white.

At most, he'll get a few years in prison.

If they can build a good relationship with Josh, they might be able to get Josh to help them get out sooner.

What is the significance of climbing and biting?

Upon arrival, Josie approached the building manager and pretended to inquire about the apartment's availability. Lyndon Schneider and his companion took the opportunity to avoid the manager's gaze and entered the apartment building to go upstairs first.

Then Josie went upstairs to open the door and let the two of them in.

Luckily, I didn't encounter anyone during the entire process.

“I asked the building manager, and the police searched this area this morning. You’re safe here for the time being,” Josie said to the two after closing the door.

“Thank you very much, son!” Lyndon Schneider gave Josie a formal bow once again.

"Don't rush to thank me. Tell me, what's the situation with you? According to the newspapers, there should be more than two of you. The gunshots we heard in the Lakeside area were probably from your people, right? And what's your relationship with my father?" Josie asked, waving her hand.

Lyndon Schneider and Dix exchanged a glance, and without much hesitation, recounted the entire incident in its entirety.

It turns out that this theft was indeed related to the lawyer Emery, just as Josie had suspected, and that Emery was one of the masterminds.

Of course, Lyndon Schneider, who was standing in front of him, was also a mastermind.

This all started a month ago, when Lyndon Snyder was released from prison.

That's right, this criminal expert who was wanted by the police had just been released from prison.

The first thing he did after being released from prison was to go to Chicago and contact a local underground broker named Coby, saying that he had a big business deal that required some manpower and a buyer.

This business involved stealing from the vault of the Leibler family's jewelry store.

Because Lyndon Schneider was known in the underworld for his high intelligence and credibility, the broker named Coby received Lyndon Schneider very warmly and introduced him to one of his big clients.

And this major client was Attorney Emery.

Attorney Emery not only offered to financially support Lyndon Schneider's operation, but also expressed his willingness to acquire the jewelry afterward at a price higher than the black market rate.

Because of the guarantee from broker Corby, and because Emery was indeed a prominent figure in Chicago, Lyndon Schneider was tempted by the high acquisition price offered by the other party and agreed.

They then quickly recruited people and launched an operation.

The recruits were Dix and his three other companions: Louis, Goss, and Cody.

The theft went very smoothly at first.

However, after the theft was completed, an unexpected incident occurred.

As they were leaving, a security guard happened to appear on their retreat route.

Although Dix successfully knocked the security guard unconscious, unfortunately, the guard's service pistol fell to the ground and went off accidentally.

Then one of their gang members, named Louis, was shot.

To avoid being caught together, they had to split up.

Goss then took Louis home to see a quack doctor.

Lyndon Schneider, Dix, and Cody went in a different direction, to meet with Emery to exchange money for goods... This is why Emery also hurriedly and quietly left last night after John Leibler left.

That's all for the purpose of receiving the goods.

What Lyndon and his group didn't expect was that Emery had no intention of paying at all, but rather planned to rip them off from the very beginning.

Because Amorepacific's financial situation has been very bad in recent years, and it is on the verge of bankruptcy, it is simply impossible for them to come up with the money to acquire these jewels.

So they planned to take these jewels and flee south to Mexico.

He also had an accomplice, a henchman named Bob Plano.

They simply chose the wrong opponent.

Lyndon Schneider was a nonviolent criminal who made a living with his brains.

Dix and Cody, however, were not.

As a result, Emery's double-cross failed, and his most trusted henchman, Bob Plano, ended up being killed by Dix.

However, just as Dix and Cody were about to kill Emery, they were stopped by Lyndon Schneider.

Because their situation is very bad right now, they have lost buyers, can't get their money back, and have nowhere to run. Moreover, such a large quantity of jewelry is not so easy to sell.

So Lyndon Schneider came up with an idea: to have Emery contact the insurance company.

Generally speaking, as long as the price is not high, insurance companies are usually willing to privately repurchase these gems in such cases to compensate for the losses they have paid to the Leibille family.

Emery agreed and disposed of his accomplice's body.

Normally, this matter would have just passed.

However, what was unexpected was that the police had been keeping an eye on Lyndon Schneider, this renowned crime expert, ever since his release from prison.

In addition, pressure from the Leibille family and the city hall,

So even without direct evidence that Lyndon Schneider committed the theft.
