Lu Tiejun nodded, "If I were in the upper echelons, I would do the same."
"That implies they have other goals in mind, or rather, they are trying to distract us."
"You mean to say, their attempt to break out is a feint?" Lu Tiejun asked.
"Yes," you nodded, "they must be making other plans."
"What other plans could they have? Once the armed police arrive, this won’t just be a game—it will be a confrontation with the regular army!"

"They’re all madmen! Human life means nothing to them. To achieve their goals, they would sacrifice anything, even their own lives!"
