"Quick, get out of here!"
Sun Chao didn’t have time to continue determining the direction. He thought, never mind where to head, just get out of this area first, and started running ahead with his head down.
The three people behind him hurriedly followed.
"Splash—!"
"Splash—!"
"..."
The chaotic and disorderly footsteps echoed all around.
The four were running with all their might.
But at this moment.
Suddenly!
The grass in the distance ahead rustled violently.
"Rustle—!!"
"Rustle—!!"
"..."
The rustling sound clearly reached the ears of Sun Chao and the others.
Someone?!
Their first reaction: Lin Beichen?!
The moment they thought Lin Beichen might step out from the grass in the next second...
Sun Chao and the other three felt an inexplicable weakness in their legs, they stopped, like they were nailed to the ground.
Their pounding hearts felt like they were going to jump out of their throats at this moment, and their breathing became difficult.
They stared intensely at the distant grass, their frightened eyes darting around crazily, their nerves so tense they could almost snap. What would they do if they really ran into Lin Beichen?
Fight to the death? With what?
Otherwise, kneel down and beg for mercy?
Would he let them go?
...
While they were lost in their thoughts.
Not only the grass in front of them, but the distant grass all around also started rustling.
The next second.
Several figures rushed out of the grass ahead, and out of the grass in the distance around them, other figures appeared one after another.
And they...
were Sun Dewang and a group of police officers.
When they were chasing the four, they suddenly saw four sneaky figures moving in the forest at the foot of the mountain.
If it had been an hour ago, when it was as dark as night, they might have hesitated and wondered if these four were their targets.
But...
Now the clouds had thinned, and a lot of sunlight was shining down on the ground.
The forest was already quite bright.
With the mini binoculars they carried, they could clearly see the four people and immediately recognized one of the human traffickers—Zou Huaide—from the highlighted information from the Xiaoqianmen precinct.
So, without any hesitation.
They quietly approached, afraid of alerting their prey, who might escape again using the complex forest terrain.
They aimed to take down the enemy in one move!
"Police!"
Sun Dewang raised his gun at Sun Chao and the others, and the officers around them did the same.
Pointed at by black gun barrels.
Sun Chao and the other three didn’t feel scared or flustered but rather felt relieved.
It’s the police!
Although surrounded, inexplicably, Sun Chao and the others felt a sense of survival after disaster.
It was unimaginable before that encountering the police would make them happy.
But at least for now, seeing that their pursuers weren’t Lin Beichen, their suspended hearts finally settled, and instead of fear and panic, their hearts were filled with relief.
It’s not Lin Beichen!
At least...
They wouldn’t be struck dead by thunder!
After the emotional rollercoaster.
Already exhausted by the previous lightning storm, their mental state completely collapsed.
Now, to them, neither the police nor the black gun barrels were as terrifying as Lin Beichen!
And at this moment.
"Boom—!"
The sound of thunder rumbled again.
Sun Chao and the other three shivered, the brief moment of relaxation vanished, and their hearts tightened again, their breathing became difficult once more. Although it wasn’t Lin Beichen, the lightning in the sky...
Just then, Sun Dewang’s voice yelled out.
"You are surrounded, I advise you..."
"Officer, officer, I surrender, please protect me, take me out of this area quickly, I beg you!!"
Sun Chao’s quick thinking sought the protection of the police.
In trouble? Look for the police!
He was lost, but the police shouldn’t be, right?
Judging by the situation, it looked like they were caught, so it was better to be caught and leave here quickly...
To save his life!
Without waiting for Sun Dewang to finish, he smoothly raised his hands over his head and ran toward Sun Dewang.
The two people beside Zou Huaide were stunned for a moment, but quickly understood his meaning and followed suit.
"Officer, I surrender too!!"
"Arrest me, please, don’t leave me here any longer!"
"..."
Seeing them running to surrender with their hands over their heads.
Not just Sun Dewang, all the officers were dumbfounded. What was this situation?
They originally thought the arrest process would be tense and full of confrontation, as the human traffickers were all vicious criminals, they couldn’t be easily subdued, right?
But now...
They weren’t playing by the rules?
Although stunned.
The officers’ actions didn’t falter, and they slowly closed in on Sun Chao and the others.
"Officer, I... I can’t go on."
At this moment, Zou Huaide tried to lift his broken arm and shook it weakly, saying, "Please, take me to the hospital immediately."
Not just to get treatment, but also to leave here quickly.
At this point, Sun Dewang and the officers had completely subdued the four.
Sun Dewang glanced at his condition, then turned to one of the officers and said, "I remember you studied medicine before, right? Check on him. If it’s serious, send him down for treatment first. He’s a key figure in the trafficking ring and knows a lot of information. We can’t let him die."
