Chapter 1234 - 1162: Splitting Up
The pain of parting is insignificant. Wang Guanshui waved goodbye to his four subordinates, instructing them to lead away the pursuing police, wiping away nonexistent tears, and then said to his cousin, "Let’s go as well."
The cousin carried a gun, silently following Wang Guanshui’s lead.
Wang Guanshui first led him along mountain paths, and after discerning the direction, they started taking the smaller trails.
Lanyue City’s surroundings are mountainous. The hills around the towns seem wild but have seen considerable development, and the paths are well-trodden and not difficult to navigate. For these two, accustomed to mountain trails since childhood, it wasn’t exactly smooth sailing but rather akin to an effortless climb.
"Aren’t we going to the riverside?" The cousin was astute, although he had guessed earlier, he only voiced it now.
Wang Guanshui replied with a "Hmm," saying, "Everyone has their fate. For those who reach the riverside, there’s also a chance to escape. If you and I burrow into the caves, we might get caught too. Are you scared?"
With this short sentence, Wang Guanshui had already shifted the concept.
The cousin calmly accepted Wang Guanshui’s spin, saying, "I’m not afraid. I just feel it’s a shame to abandon them after they’ve done quite well."
"There’s no choice. If I could take them, I would. But the supplies in the cave are limited, and for just the two of us, we could hide out for months without issues. For six people, they’d probably go mad after a month, especially Old Qiu, snoring when he sleeps. Even if he doesn’t defecate, his smell is unbearable. I don’t want to live with him," Wang Guanshui explained the reason for sending his subordinates to certain death, beginning to feign a mask of pain.
"Old Qiu’s odor is indeed strong," the cousin concurred, but what else could he say? Call the others back? Impossible. If it were his decision, he would have made the same choice.
