Chapter 1554: 1553 arresting people

Around six o’clock, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu left the hotel with a suitcase in hand. It was not until nightfall that they changed their clothes, this time wearing black masks that covered most of their faces.

Tan Rou looked at Zhuang Liu’s attire and laughed, saying, “You look like some kind of superhero.”

Zhuang Liu replied, “We’re not superheroes, but male and female thieves, just like the ones in martial arts novels.”

Tan Rou laughed heartily, “Let’s go then, let’s do what the male and female thieves in martial arts novels would do.”

It wasn’t yet the curfew hour, so there were still quite a few people on the streets, but everyone was moving very quickly, as if racing against the Grim Reaper for time.

Actually, they were indeed racing against the Grim Reaper. If they returned home late, they might encounter patrolling soldiers armed with guns. Getting caught by them meant either getting shot or spending time in prison—neither of which was pleasant.

Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu grabbed a quick bite, then sat quietly waiting for the final moment to arrive.

Just after eight o’clock, there were virtually no people left on the streets, and the patrol soldiers came by in a large truck, also waiting for the time to arrive.

When the time came, squads of patrol soldiers immediately appeared on the streets, their numbers only increased, not fewer than before.

“Let’s wait around here for a while to see if anyone comes by.” After the patrol soldiers had left, Tan Rou whispered to Zhuang Liu, “If no one is around, we’ll take a turn in those alleys. If they don’t want to be spotted by the patrol soldiers, they’ll definitely walk through the alleys.”

“Alright, I’ll follow your plan,” Zhuang Liu said with a smile. “I’m not familiar with this place, so you’ll have to ensure my safety.”

Tan Rou responded assertively, “President Zhuang, don’t worry, I’ll make sure to bring you back home safely.”

The frail President Zhuang replied, “Okay, warrior Tan Rou!”

After chatting, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu continued to wait in the dark. However, this place didn’t seem to be one of their bases, so after more than an hour, still no one had come by.

Tan Rou rolled up her sleeves and then checked the time under the dim street light, “It’s almost 10 o’clock. Let’s wait somewhere else for them; I guess they won’t come here.”

Zhuang Liu complied with Tan Rou’s arrangement, “Okay, then you pick the next spot.”

Tan Rou put her sleeves back down, “Follow me.”

But they hadn’t gone far when they heard a disturbance.

“Stop!”

“Don’t let that woman get away!”

“Damn, why is it always women causing trouble outside these days?”

“Damn it, this woman runs too fast!”

That was the voice of the patrol soldiers. Upon hearing the shouts of the patrol soldiers, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu quickly hid, but the sound of footsteps was getting closer to them.

Tan Rou wrote in Zhuang Liu’s palm, “Don’t make a sound.”

Zhuang Liu wrote back, “Don’t meddle.”

Both of them tacitly remained silent. Since they didn’t have any weapons on them, it was best not to confront these patrol soldiers directly!

“Fuck! Fire the gun; don’t let that woman get away!” The patrol soldiers, angered by the fleeing person, decided to use bullets to subdue them.

The fleeing person was clearly scared, desperately zigzagging to escape, never running in a straight line.

The woman moved quickly, which meant the patrol soldiers’ poor aim couldn’t keep up with her speed, their bullets hitting the ground and ricocheting in all directions.

After several days of confrontations between patrol soldiers and citizens, the locals had grown disinterested in watching anymore, aware these soldiers hardly ever hit their targets.

But this time was different. Previously, there were always two people, and one of them was very strong while the other wasn’t weak either. However, this woman seemed much weaker than the previous two; her first instinct upon seeing the patrol soldiers was to run away, showing no intention to resist.

The woman was heading towards Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu. They planned to exit from the back, only to find that the alley they had hidden in was a dead end. To escape, they would have to climb a ten-meter-high wall.
