Chapter 1023 Why Should I Believe You Guys?
While Luo Qiao was trying to come up with a plan, Lu Yichen had already arrived at the village that had suffered from that strange illness with a team of people. Upon learning they had already left by car, he immediately followed without stopping.
Following the traces left by the vehicle, they pursued them all the way. Just as the three men were about to make their move, they saw a car coming up the mountain, causing slight panic, and the leader ordered them to act.
Luo Qiao made a decision immediately, "Stop, let these people go. I’ll go with you, otherwise, once you start, you might not all make it back in one piece."
The man glanced at Luo Qiao, thinking it was a good idea as they didn’t want to arouse any suspicion, primarily since they were targeting this woman to avoid drawing connections to the Jun family.
With the woman suggesting it herself, it was opportune to take her away. The three exchanged glances, and one of them asked, "What makes you think you can save these people?"
Luo Qiao calmly said, "If you dare to act, we will resist with all our might. It’s death either way, so why let ourselves be slaughtered? Besides, you’ve seen the police cars coming up the mountain. If you act, be ready to be caught."
The three men looked at the people opposite them, knowing she was right. Although these people lacked the power to fight, they could delay them significantly.
The leader then said, "Walk over here with your hands up."
"Why should I trust you?" Luo Qiao responded.
Seeing that the cars approaching from the mountain would soon catch up, Luo Qiao, fearing their desperation, said, "Let them all get on the bus, then I will go with you."
Running out of time, the few men agreed, but Professor Guo and a few other professors acquainted with Luo Qiao disagreed, along with the two local workers who absolutely refused.
