Chapter 213 - 212: Kill One in Ten Steps
Not leaving any loose ends was Yang Yi’s subjective wish, and although that’s exactly what he tried to do, whether he had actually left any loose ends was an objective reality beyond his control.
With the hand that held the gun, he pulled the scarf from his neck to cover his face, and Yang Yi ran towards the entrance of the alley—the very place he had been brought into earlier.
The alley was long, and if Yang Yi ran towards the direction he came from, he would quickly reach the mouth of the alley. Once out, he could blend into the crowd and make his escape, but that was just his wish.
If he ran towards the other end, he might face a situation that was extremely detrimental to him.
From the conversation between the two men earlier, it was clear they had accomplices, and they had already called for others to come over. If Yang Yi ran towards the opposite direction, it was highly likely that people, armed with guns, would enter the alley before he was able to get away.
Yang Yi also had a gun in his hand, and in his bag, he carried his own handgun, but he had no confidence in a firefight. In other words, as soon as he got some distance, if several people chased him into the alley, he would be forced to engage in a shootout with just one handgun.
Or in a worse scenario, Yang Yi would be shot at from behind while on the run.
Engaging in a shootout was not the choice for Yang Yi, as shooting was his absolute weakness. He would much rather engage in close combat with a knife than fire a gun or be shot at from behind.
Therefore, the choice Yang Yi made might not have been the right one, but it was certainly more advantageous for him.
Yang Yi reached the entrance of the alley, and just as he arrived, he almost ran directly into two men.
Upon seeing Yang Yi, one of the men whose face had turned pale with shock, did not hesitate to reach for his gun.
