Chapter 1555: 1554 rescue people
“Let’s break out!” Zhuang Liu made an immediate decision, “Hide behind me, I’ll cover you as we go out. Once we’re out, you go left, I go right, and we’ll regroup at the hotel later.”
Tan Rou said, “That won’t work, there are too many surveillance cameras at the hotel. If we go back now, we’ll definitely be captured on the hotel’s surveillance. We can escape separately, but we shouldn’t meet up before dawn. Firstly, we’ll use the locator to determine each other’s position. As long as the red dot is still on, that means we’re safe.”
For fear of more trouble, Tan Rou had swapped her luxury watch for an upgraded version with a locator installed. This watch was a bit more advanced because it was a couple’s watch she had modified for her and Zhuang Liu’s exclusive use. They could determine if the other was safe through the watch.
“Okay, be careful!” Zhuang Liu reaffirmed, “You go left, I go right. I’ll draw their attention while you get away quickly. I’ll count to three, and we’ll run out together.”
Zhuang Liu didn’t give Tan Rou time to think; he started counting right after speaking, “One, two…” He didn’t finish counting and was ready to run outside.
But before they could escape, the captured woman led the patrol soldiers right to them, and now they had no chance to run.
“Stop shooting, that woman is injured!” the Patrol Captain shouted, “Put away your guns, we need to capture that woman alive.”
Tan Rou grabbed Zhuang Liu, who was about to dash out, “I knew you would do this. Let’s not rush; we’ll wait and see.”
Outside the alley, the injured woman was dragging her lame leg, moving step by step into the alley and muttering, “I will never let you catch me!”
The patrol soldiers’ marksmanship was indeed not very accurate, but they had the advantage of numbers and plenty of bullets. Bullets hitting the walls or the ground would ricochet, and the woman was hit by a bullet that bounced back.
The patrol soldiers seemed to enjoy watching her attempt to escape, laughing and saying, “Look at her limping! It’s hilarious!”
“Did you get a clear look at her face? Is she pretty?”
“In such darkness, who can see her face? Let’s capture her alive and see what she looks like. If she’s pretty, we’ll keep her to have some fun with us instead of sending her to prison!”
The woman was enraged by their words, “Bastards, if you dare to harm me, my father will never let you go!”
The patrol soldiers were not intimidated at all, “Hahaha, let’s see if your father is more formidable or the bullets in our guns!”
Initially, the woman’s voice was so soft that Tan Rou couldn’t hear anything, but when the woman shouted loudly at the patrol soldiers, Tan Rou felt the voice was a bit familiar, as if she’d heard it somewhere before.
“I think this voice sounds familiar,” Tan Rou whispered into Zhuang Liu’s ear. “Let’s watch a bit longer, I’ll try to remember where I’ve heard this voice, and find out if she’s a friend or foe.”
Zhuang Liu nodded gently, without speaking.
“I will definitely have my father teach you a lesson!” the woman shouted while retreating, “Don’t come any closer to me!”
Upon hearing one of the woman’s sentences, Tan Rou finally remembered who those people were, and then she said to Zhuang Liu, “Zhuang Liu, we need to save this person.”
This time Zhuang Liu had no objections. Since Tan Rou said they should save her, there must be a reason to do so, “Okay, I’ll draw them off. You take the chance to get that woman out of here.”
“Be careful,” Tan Rou advised, “Let’s stick to the plan we discussed to meet up.”
“Sure.” Zhuang Liu adjusted the mask on his face and tightened his clothes, “You be careful too.”
“Mhm.” Tan Rou nodded.
After Zhuang Liu was ready, he quickly bolted to the right, purposely making a lot of noise as he ran to attract the patrol soldiers away.
“There’s an accomplice!” the Patrol Captain suddenly shouted, “Capture that accomplice!”
“I’m not an accomplice, I’m just a tourist passing by!” Zhuang Liu shouted back, “Don’t catch me!”
The Patrol Captain didn’t believe his excuses, and he chose over half of the patrol soldiers ordered, “Catch up with him, we want him alive!”
