"The helicopter will arrive soon. Now, I need to rest. After it arrives, I'll take a few hostages on board, and the rest of you are not to follow," Zhu Ziming said before moving from the front row to the back and heading toward the village committee building. The hostages were taken away again.
Watching the scene unfold before him, Liu Mou was overcome with an intense feeling of despair, filled instantly with regret, and knelt down with a thump, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.
"I, damn it, how could I be so useless? If only, if only I were stronger," Liu Mou murmured, his voice breaking.
Just now, Liu Mou had clearly seen the angry glances from the innocent villagers directed at him, as well as at Hong Guixiang and Li Lanxue, and the feeble look in the eyes of Liu Tiezhu and Secretary Xu. Faced with these looks that shouldn't have been aimed at him, Liu Mou was filled with self-reproach.
