Looks like we can extract target url from the BING redirect, for example:
https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=6cd30a967ff2ee999ca5216def7c82e3627199cda5c93e3bd31eb936cf94e2f2JmltdHM9MTc0MjI1NjAwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=3a90dfd6-373d-6c61-0733-cae9361c6d76&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmlyZXByb2JlLm5ldC9wbA&ntb=1

Has a parameter u with value a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmlyZXByb2JlLm5ldC9wbA. If we drop first two characters (a1) there rest is base 64 encoded url: atob('aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmlyZXByb2JlLm5ldC9wbA') === "https://www.fireprobe.net/pl"
