The sky had already darkened, casting a veil of night over the entire North Port docks.
"We’re approaching Dock 6 of Busan City North Port now."
Wu Mu and Jin Huiyan were hidden behind the containers at the port, observing the situation ahead.
After receiving the last clue from An Minghao, they didn’t come directly but continued to carry out their tasks.
After all, there was still the possibility that An Minghao lied, or they had misinterpreted the clues. In any case, there was time to spare, and it seemed prudent to finish their tasks.
Eventually, after completing the tasks, the message they had decoded did indeed specify eight o’clock in the evening, to head towards Dock 6 of Busan City North Port. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on N0velFire.ɴet
So after having a meal and spending the last of their money, and resting a bit to gather strength, the pair arrived at this final escape location.
"It looks like there’s no one around," Jin Huiyan said, poking her head out to survey the area.
Dock 6 seemed to have been specifically secured by the show’s crew for filming, whereas other docks nearby, even at night, were still brightly lit and bustling with the transfer of cargo.
Dock 6, however, was quiet; enshrouded in the darkness of the night, it was starkly contrasted with the noisy docks in the distance, indeed evoking the feeling of criminals secretly fleeing the scene.
"However, Minghao knows the final location, he might very well tip off the police, and they could be lurking in the shadows," Jin Huiyan said, well aware of her teammates on the show.
"Mhm," nodded Wu Mu, indicating he understood.
"Let’s check the surveillance app later, to see their location and chat history," Jin Huiyan suggested, her initial nervousness giving way to a certain fondness for secretly monitoring others over the course of the day.
But now was not the time to use it, they had to wait until the time was close to their escape when the police would not be able to react in time even if they had their location.
As the time inched closer to 7:55 PM, they finally took out their phones to start checking.
First, they checked the location.
"Huh, moving in Haiyun District? Did Minghao not report us?" Jin Huiyan was surprised.
Then they used the surveillance software to check the police’s chat history in the social group.
"Did Minghao take the opportunity to lie about the information and escape from prison?" She was surprised.
Then came joy, "Looks like the police really haven’t discovered us."
Could they really escape?
Wu Mu was also a bit astonished.
But that An Minghao indeed had some clever tricks, and given that the police weren’t really dealing with actual criminals in reality, it wasn’t impossible for him to have escaped.
"No rush, let’s try something and we’ll know if they’ve discovered us," Wu Mu suggested.
Jin Huiyan looked at Wu Mu with curiosity and confusion, then saw Wu Mu pull out that walkie-talkie, which he had tinkered with, from his pocket again.
She watched, puzzled, as Wu Mu once again turned on the power to the walkie-talkie.
At this point, their phones were already on, so they weren’t worried about the walkie-talkie revealing their location, but why bring it out now?
Then, under her puzzled gaze,
Wu Mu spoke into the walkie-talkie, "Captain, this is Nine. I’ve found Jin Huiyan’s location. She’s at Busan City North Port Dock 6, hurry up and catch her."
Jin Huiyan’s expression stiffened.
The walkie-talkie was, as always, silent at first until, after a short while, a voice came through, gritting their teeth, "We’re on our way!"
Jin Huiyan glared at her partner for the day, frustrated.
Why report her again and not himself!
But she had already caught on to Wu Mu’s intention.
After reporting the situation, the two of them kept watch on the location displayed on their phones.
Still roaming around Haiyun District, there were no signs of moving towards their location until after two or three minutes, the other side seemed to finally react and started to move in their direction.
"It seems they’ve noticed," Wu Mu said as he packed up the walkie-talkie and phone, then looked at Jin Huiyan.
"When the time comes, you should run away from me in a different direction. They’ll be focusing on capturing me, so if you run far away, you’ll have a better chance of getting away."
