Chapter 577 - 524
Mr. Mu sent three people on a big detour to cut off Jiang Yuan and his party’s escape route, while another two rifle-armed men climbed the side of the slope. They were the main force tasked with shooting the police dogs, and with a clear line of fire, taking out eight targets with two guns would only take a matter of seconds.
Mr. Mu, along with two others, crouched on the second-floor of the building on this side, his hand on his gun, watching Jiang Yuan and the others a few hundred meters away, contemplating something unknown in his mind.
The police dogs had to be killed. Otherwise, no matter how far they ran, it would be child’s play, and even if they managed to get half a day’s lead, it wouldn’t matter if the direction could be found behind them. With police closing in from the front, the longer they ran, the quicker they would be sentenced.
If the police dogs coming from behind weren’t familiar with their scent yet, once they reached the mountain, a few crossings through streams and rubbing some animal feces on themselves could greatly increase their chance of escape.
But police dogs this close at hand were all too familiar with their scent, making it too easy for the dogs to follow persistently and hard to shake off.
However, Mr. Mu actually hesitated at the thought of killing Jiang Yuan and the others.
Firing a gun was easy but escaping afterward was hard. If they shot dead seven police officers and a dog all at once, the wanted level would probably skyrocket to five stars. At that point, Yuan Yushan, the company’s General Manager, would no longer be the primary target—it would be them.
Although the chances of escaping were already very slim, everyone still clung to hope. This included Yuan Yushan and others who definitely hadn’t completely given up yet.
When they built this escape route years ago, they did so thoughtfully and with a substantial investment, designing it quite comprehensively—of course, now they were being pursued, but that was okay. The next few supply points not only helped escape in multiple directions but also had pre-designed routes. If they could quickly cross the blockade, there was a chance of survival.
The premise, however, was not to become the "thorn in the police’s side."
