Shadow Empire

Chapter 365 Equality [666+15 (last month)]
With a bang, the door of the professor's office was kicked open, and Wolfe rushed in with a serious and ugly expression.

He walked directly to the professor who was trying to pretend something, looked at him, and said loudly, "Your family was kidnapped by them?"

"Is it Lance and the others?"

The professor rubbed his face and put on his glasses on the table again, "How... did you know?"

Wolfe also felt very uncomfortable. Coming to Jingang City this time was not a "mandatory task". You can come or not.

After all, Sidney has completely left the city of Fides, and with the "post-Fides City Government"'s purge of remaining political forces, he can no longer influence the city of Fides.

Of course, their lives were not easy. The local gangs that existed during Sidney's time were suppressed to varying degrees.

The new politicians fostered new gangs to fight them, and if they were not all “locals” with some connection to the working class, they would have been locked up long ago.

Purely industrial cities are even more afraid of strikes, because once a strike occurs, it will be a city-wide strike!

When Sidney informed them to come over, Wolfe agreed without much thought.

There are many reasons to support him doing so.

Jingang City is more prosperous, while Fides is obviously lagging behind.

Sidney is the mayor here and he has the final say on everything. Fides and his gang also have to fight against the new gangs that have been supported.

Here, no matter what they do, they can be suppressed, but in Fides they still have to rack their brains to deal with the police.

There were too many unbalanced contrasts for him to make a choice, so he decided to come here, which triggered everything!
"We have to rescue them!" Wolf looked at the professor, "They are not only your family, but also our family!"

The professor's eyes were red, and he seemed to have lost some belief that supported him. He was in a dilemma. "Lance and his men must have ambushed near the valley. If we go there, we will be fooled."

He was not trying to convince Wolfe, he was trying to convince himself!
He told himself, don’t fucking go, everyone will die if you go!
This was a very rational judgment, and he did think so. If they went, everyone would die.

If you don't go, you can continue to fight against the Lance family!

They moved the battlefield out of the city in order to avoid the Wolf Gang's home advantage!

Just wait a few days, until the mayor comes up with a backup plan, and then everything will be settled.

By then all the revenge can be taken, he said and thought.

But reason will not prevail in most of the time!

You tell yourself not to apply glue anymore, it's not right to do so. The guilt hidden in the loneliness after each application of glue makes you swear that this is the last time.

Your reason, your thinking, your personality, and your heart are all so firm at this moment, and you are so firmly committed and vowed.

but?
When the time is almost right, rationality will fade away and emotion will arise. You will grab the tissue, find a comfortable place to sit down, lick your lips, and be willful again with great interest!
People are like this, and the professor is the same. His reason desperately tells him not to do that, and he even tries to convince himself by convincing Wolfe.

But when he thought that it was his wife, his daughter, and his family, he felt extremely painful!

At the same time, several senior officials rushed in, looking at Wolfe and the professor with horror.

"Our family was kidnapped by the Lance family..."

The professor looked at them with wide eyes, and he knew it was over.

This may be the saddest state of a smart person. You know it will end, but you still have to go on.

He couldn't even convince himself the way he convinced Wolfe. Even if he succeeded, what about those people?

As a gang leader, what does he tell these people?
"Anyway, if you go, everyone will die. Why don't we go? Let's wait two hours and see if they are serious."

so?
After saying this, they are going to rebel and then leave with their people!

Wolf looked at them in disbelief, then looked at the professor, "Lance and the others have got through to Fides's connections!"

His teeth were grinding!
The professor calmed down at this time. He tidied his hair to make it look less messy. "It seems that we have no other choice."

Wolfe sat next to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Tell me, what should we do now?"

The professor forced himself to think, "He placed the location in the valley, which means they must have arranged people on the mountain."

"We will be divided into two groups. One group will go along the main road, and the other group will bypass the main road and go up the mountain directly from the side."

"Our mission this time is not to defeat them, but to rescue our families and bring them back!"

The professor is indeed a smart man. He never thought of fighting with Lance and others from a disadvantageous position from the beginning.

"Get some vans. They can hold more people and are safer."

Wolfe listened to his instructions and started to dispatch immediately. Soon they had seven or eight hatchbacks and some cars.

"Van drivers, follow us to the valley. Others with cars, get to the mountains and find a high point as soon as possible."

If there was more time, or even a more detailed map, he could make more arrangements, but now he didn't have that much time.

It takes about an hour to get out of the city and into the valley. It took twenty to thirty minutes to get these vehicles, so they have no other time to make preparations!

The group stood in the open space, and the professor's lips moved. He didn't know what to say or how to say it. Many people who went to the valley this time might die, but they had reasons to go.

He should have said something to boost morale, but he really couldn't!

Finally, he uttered a very short sentence - "Come back alive..."

The long convoy began to move quickly towards the valley, and Lance's men were also ready.

More than an hour later, a group of vans entered the valley.

The valley was quiet, with only several groups of hostages tied up separately.

The professor saw his daughter and his wife, who formed two separate circles with his other relatives.

He hadn't seen them for a while, and he had never been so eager to talk to them and take them away from here!

But he knew that now was not the time to rush!
The convoy stopped because everything was so weird and there was no other sound around.

The more this happened, the more uneasy the professor became.

As soon as he stood up, Wolfe pressed his shoulders. He couldn't break free. He was no match for Wolfe. "This is my responsibility. I have to do it!"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Wolfe let go of his hand. He said solemnly, "Don't forget what you said. We have to go back alive!"

The professor nodded vigorously, checked his pistol, and jumped out of the car.

He walked slowly towards the middle of the valley, observing the movements around him while shouting, "Lance, I'm here, where are you?"

The valley was quiet and he walked forward slowly, but the further he walked, the more uneasy he felt.

He was less than ten meters away from his family and other people's families. He stopped, his palms sweaty.

"Lance, come out and talk?"

"You let me come, and I came. What about you?"

He looked at the surrounding mountains and forests, as if trying to find the shadow of Lance, but there was only dense vegetation here, and he could not see anything except these and the echo.

The sun was scorching, and drops of sweat flowed down his forehead and temples.

He didn't dare wipe it, for he was afraid that the action of raising his hand would create some kind of signal. He had to find Lance's people first.

"Are you okay?" Seeing that no one answered him, the professor finally turned his attention to his family.

His daughter sobbed and nodded, and although his ex-wife didn't say anything, he could feel that both of them were very worried about him.

The other relatives seemed relieved to see him, "Hurry up and untie our ropes!"

Some people just cried out his name, as if they were venting some emotions.

He gritted his teeth and took two steps forward, but still nothing happened.

"Any idea where they are?", he asked.

"I don't know. They blindfolded us and left."

He tried to move a little closer, but found that there was no unexpected situation. He didn't know what to do.

Someone saw the professor approaching the crowd, but no one opened fire. They couldn't wait to get out of the car and ran towards their families. The professor suddenly turned around and looked at those people, and something seemed to flash in his eyes.

At this moment, gunshots rang out. The fierce gunfire instantly covered all the sounds in the forest and interrupted the professor's thoughts!
The hostages screamed in panic, some shouted "I was shot", and the women screamed and cried, the scene was extremely chaotic!

Wolfe slapped the driver's shoulder and almost broke it. The driver endured the pain and stepped on the accelerator, quickly rushing between the hostages and the direction where the gunshots came from.

The sparks from the bullets hitting the van were a relief.

"Quick, untie their ropes!"

The professor tore at the ropes in panic. They were all tied up with their hands tied behind their backs with their backs facing each other.

These are not ordinary ropes, and even with a dagger, they are not easy to cut.

The external environment made it impossible for people to concentrate on thinking. The professor didn't know why he had a very strange feeling, as if... Lance's people were doing this on purpose, forcing them to transfer these people into the car faster.

He was in a trance for a moment and wanted to continue thinking, but he was soon hit. He came to his senses and stopped thinking about other things. He instinctively began to pull the rope hard.

The rope was pulled open, and his daughter threw herself into his arms, crying and calling him "Dad", but there was no trace of joy on his face for saving his daughter!

Because he saw that the moment he pulled the rope, a round object fell to the ground from somewhere.

He subconsciously looked up and saw his family all around him.
