Chapter 427: Death Soldier (2/2)
”You can't, Director. It's too risky. These people are more loyal than terrorists!” One of the officers disagreed.
”From the infrared drones, we’ve detected that the number of people in the factory is several times our numbers. We can't hold out against so many of them. Let's drag this out till the armed police force arrives,” said another officer.
Sun Tiger gritted his teeth, ”Then let’s buy ourselves some time!”
”Dog Trainer, do you take us for idiots? Stop wasting our time and hand over Song Yang!” shouted Sun Tiger.
The Dog Trainer replied, ”I can promise you that, but you must evacuate the premises once you get your man back.”
”We won’t negotiate with you. Even if you are as innocent as you claim, gathering people and inciting them to cause trouble is enough for us to arrest you.”
The Dog Trainer laughed, ”Gathering people to cause trouble–are you kidding, Director Sun? This factory is part of my business and these are just my employees.”
”Employees?” sneered Sun Tiger. “What are they holding in their hands? This is a private armed force.”
Right then, one of the Dog Trainer's men came rushing in. ”Master, Song Yang has escaped!”
Duan Yunjie whispered to me, ”Let’s go down now. The Dog Trainer is afraid to make any mistakes in front of the police. He fears doing anything that might be used against him.”
Upon second thought, I agreed and spoke into the phone, ”Uncle Sun, I'm coming out now.”
As Duan Yunjie and I headed downstairs, the Dog Trainer turned to look at us at the sound of our footsteps, his face turning dark. ”So it seems there was a wolf among my dogs. Duan Yunjie, why did you betray me?”
”She was kidnapped like me. Are you going to detain us in front of the police?” I retorted.
The Dog Trainer's cheek twitched uncontrollably, as if holding back his anger. ”Go then!”
We walked slowly past the Dog Trainer who whispered into my ear, ”Song Yang, it's a pity that we can't have a good chat this time. I’ll see you next time!”
Thinking back to what I had experienced in the past few hours, the urge to kill him welled up inside of me, but still, I restrained myself. We were at daggers drawn and any rash actions would put all our lives in jeopardy.
There was one thing that I found suspicious–the Dog Trainer's indifference to Duan Yunjie’s betrayal. I suspected Duan Yunjie might have been deliberately placed among our ranks.
As soon as I reached the SWAT team, Sun Tiger apologized, ”I’m sorry, kiddo.”
Seeing the two handcuffs he pulled out, I was well aware of his intentions. I had been missing for several hours so I might have been brainwashed. Naturally, Duan Yunjie couldn’t be trusted either.
I held out my hand and allowed him to cuff me. The Dog Trainer sneered, ”Is this the way the police behave? You’re as cold as winter towards your comrades and as hot as fire towards your enemies.”
”You can't fight now. Let’s retreat first!” I urged.
Sun Tiger asked, ”What did he do to you?”
”I'm fine,” I replied. “He has too many people and the internal structure of the factory is complicated. You’re no match for him.”
Sun Tiger cursed under his breath, then ordered, ”Let's withdraw!”
I turned and glared at the Dog Trainer who returned a sinister smile. ”Dog Trainer, the next time we meet will be the day you die!”
