If he dies at the hands of those people, Assistant Hu might feel that Mong Si got off easy.
Zhu Junjie glanced at Assistant Hu's hospital room and walked towards the elevator.
...
At this moment, in the mountains.
The person dragging Mong Si, due to nervousness and effort, was already drenched in sweat. He once again reported to his leader, "Boss, we can't keep this person any longer. I... I can't drag him anymore!" If they continued dragging him without encountering the police, he would be exhausted to death!
"He is our hostage, a bargaining chip. We might need him later." The police would not disregard the life of a hostage.
Mong Si claimed to be a fraternal twin with the Gaoqing CEO, and the Zhu Family would not ignore Mong Si's life or death at this time. They were not Hua Guo people, but they had heard of Gaoqing.
Gaoqing is one of the largest entertainment companies in Hua Guo, having nurtured many stars, some of whom have international influence. Now that Hai-City had dispatched so many police officers to surround them, it was mostly related to the Zhu Family.
If they were pushed to a dead end, Mong Si would be their last trump card, their lifeline.
"Boss, you can't always think of the worst-case scenario. If we take him out, we can move quickly through this forest." With today's advanced transportation and cars everywhere on the roads, it would be very easy for them to hijack a vehicle.
"Being prepared is much better than regretting later," the leader insisted.
He gestured to the tallest member of the group, "You carry him!"
Dragging Mong Si would create noise, and the police might follow the sound to find them. The tallest member was robust; even if he was taciturn, it was hard not to notice him. He obeyed the leader without hesitation and bent down to carry Mong Si.
As Mong Si was being dragged, the plaster cast on his legs shifted. The person carrying him did not make any adjustments; he simply lifted him onto his back. Mong Si's legs collided with his body, causing pain that drained color from his face as he lost sensation in both legs.
Mong Si felt that if this continued, he would lose most of his life. He had to take advantage of his clarity to find an opportunity to grab a weapon, shoot the people around him, and win himself a chance at survival.
The deeper they went into the forest, the more they relied on their compass, and before entering the woods, they had found a topographic map of the area. As long as they followed the map, they could quickly make their way through.
What they did not expect was that deep in the forest, someone had secretly cut down trees, causing severe soil erosion and creating a deep gully several meters wide. In recent years, most people from the surrounding areas had gone to work in the cities. When someone discovered large animals in the forest, even if others entered, they would not venture deep inside, unaware of the existence of this deep gully.
Without professional tools, they had no way to cross the gully with their abilities.
"Damn it! After walking for so long, we've been blocked!"
Calculating their progress, they realized they had already covered half the distance. There was no way back; they could only move in another direction. They had planned this route; the exit led to a body of water where hiding was impossible. It would be difficult for the police to ambush them there.
These individuals were good swimmers and could use simple tools to quietly dive into the water and reach the other side without being detected by the police. By the time they escaped from the water, the police might still think they were lost in the forest!
This was their best plan, but unexpectedly, fate had set up such an obstacle for them that some began to complain involuntarily.
Someone suggested, "I don't think it's very deep here. We can go down and then climb back up."
"No way! Who knows if the bottom of this gully can support us? What if there's stagnant water or mud? If we go down and get stuck, we won't even be able to pull our feet out—how can we walk then?"
They could see the bottom of the gully, but there was a layer of fallen leaves on top, obscuring what lay beneath. While they discussed this, someone crouched down to test the soil around the gully.
He dug his hand into it; as soon as he touched it, it crumbled away—climbing would be impossible. It would be easy to go down but difficult to climb back up. If they got trapped in the gully without food, even if the police didn’t catch them, they would starve.
"This plan won't work; what do we do now?"
"Let's head this way!"
The leader examined the topographic map and directed them northwest. This direction was their backup option; it led to an abandoned village that had been overgrown with wild grass for a long time. To hide there effectively, they would need to clear away the grass and obstacles.
In places that have long been untouched, any sign of human activity can easily be seen once someone clears the area. They quickly notice the presence of the police. After confirming the direction, the leader prepares to guide everyone along an alternate route.
At this moment, Mong Si, who had been carried on the back of the tall man, has regained some strength. The mountain path is difficult to traverse, and despite his strength, the tall man is sweating profusely from carrying Mong Si. When the group stops, he is panting heavily.
To make it easier to walk, he releases his grip on Mong Si's legs. Now, Mong Si is relying on his own strength, wrapping his arms around the tall man and hanging on. If the tall man lets go, Mong Si will immediately slide off.
As the group prepares to change their route, Mong Si seizes the opportunity. When the tall man loosens his hold and Mong Si slides down, he swiftly snatches the gun from a young man passing by.
The young man's eyes are injured, and as the painkillers wear off, his discomfort grows while his strength gradually fades. Caught off guard, he finds Mong Si has taken his gun. He curses and attempts to reclaim it, but Mong Si reacts quickly and shoots him.
These individuals have trekked far into the mountains and are becoming increasingly fatigued. To them, Mong Si, with his broken legs and upper body injuries, seems like a helpless person who wouldn't dare retaliate. They are hesitant to engage him directly.
Mong Si's actions catch them completely off guard. He moves swiftly; having observed how they used their weapons in the vehicle earlier, he memorized their techniques. Although he has never handled a weapon before, he accurately mimics their movements and successfully repels the first attacker.
"Damn it, looking for death!"
After walking for so long, they are blocked by a deep gully and are growing irritable. Mong Si's actions infuriate them; they quickly become enraged and raise their guns to aim at him.
With his injured legs preventing him from standing up, Mong Si rolls his body quickly to evade their attacks. Their weapons follow his movements, but within seconds, Mong Si disappears from their sight.
