CLANG~
CRASH!
Almost at the exact moment the police charged, the back windows of the two outermost bungalows were violently thrown open.
Two figures in dark work clothes, flat caps, and face masks quickly jumped out of the windows. Without a backward glance upon landing, they took off in a desperate sprint in two different directions, deeper into the old neighborhood.
"Stop! Police!"
"I'll shoot if you keep running!"
Chen Jifeng and the officers shouted warnings as they gave chase, quickly splitting into two groups to pursue each of the fleeing targets.
Yang Qi didn't join the chase.
Through the perception of his Earth Listening Technique, he knew that besides the two rooms from which the suspects had escaped, there was another bungalow next to them. This one seemed quiet, its windows nailed shut with wooden planks. Inside, someone was deliberately suppressing their breathing and heartbeat, hiding behind the door and listening to the commotion outside.
'There's one more!'
