As soon as Eunice sees the police, the captain and the other armed policemen also spot them.
It has to be said that, although Dalton has purposely left a passageway, he is not a person with a
strong counter-scouting ability, for the place where he chooses to rest is slightly lower than the
surrounding area. Standing in a bit higher position, covered by branches and leaves, one will be able to
see everything clear around the rock.
A professional sniper comes up the mountain together. He is on a high ground behind Dalton. With the
help of the dense branches and leaves in front of him, he quietly adjusts the position of the gun in his
hand. He stretches his head forward and lowers down a bit. He then narrows one of his eyes as he
aims the gun at Dalton with the other eye.
Previously, he has been instructed to shoot Dalton if Dalton is suspected of escaping.
The sniper won't kill Dalton He's aiming at Dalton's leg.
The sniper only needs to guarantee that Dalton won't be able to escape and that he won't harm the
hostages.
Eunice does not find the location of the sniper, but she can see the armed police who are relatively
close. Then she deliberately looks away, afraid that Dalton will notice them.
Everything is in place and the sniper is about to shoot. However, perhaps Dalton, who has been
motionless all this while, notices something or he just happens to walk over to Eunice. He pulls Eunice
up to cover him.
When the sniper sees it through the camera, he frowns and makes a gesture to the captain, indicating
that he is temporarily unable to launch a sniper attack.
This is a bullet. If the sniper does not have a particularly good chance, he cannot act rashly. Otherwise,
both sides will be injured.
The captain stares at Dalton, who is not in a hurry to leave. Instead, Dalton carries Eunice to the edge
of a cliff.
Although the mountain is not high, if one falls down, he won't definitely to stand it.
The captain's heart is in his mouth. Dalton does not act too aggressively. Dalton only feels that no one
can hide behind the cliff, which makes him feel even more secure.
The rescue operation has reached deadlock. The police are lying in ambush all around. They even
retrain their breathing. Only after wind blows do they dare to catch their breath.
It is no good to wait. If Dalton gets enough rest and continues to walk, the sniper's position may be
exposed during the operation, and he can't accurately aim at Dalton as the latter is moving.
As time passes, the captain feels a second is long.
He knows how much importance his seniors attach to the kidnapping case. Thus, this case must be
satisfactorily resolved.
Thinking of this, the captain tightens his grip on the pistol. He then winks at the others and walks out
from the tree trunk.
Dalton is shocked by the sudden appearance of the black-uniformed man in front of him. He
immediately stands up and pulls Eunice to the edge of the cliff. He then presses the dagger in his hand
against Eunice's neck.
Behind Dalton is the rising sun. But when the warm light shines on the knife, it turns into frightening
one.
Eunice can't make a sound. She can only stare at the policeman in front of her with her eyes wide
open. She is very worried about him, although he is holding a gun. At the thought of the scene of
Samuel's collapsing just now, Eunice is extremely scared of crazy Dalton.
She doesn't want anyone to get hurt because of her.
"Dalton, I order you to release the hostages now!" The captain's voice has a thrilling resonance like
thunder.
Dalton's gaze is fixed on the captain as he grins. "Cut the crap. Let Ryan come!"
"He is not here. You can make other requests." The captain tries his best to talk to Dalton so as to
distract him and to stall for time.
"Not here?" Dalton's eyes burst with hatred. He only uses a little strength, and Eunice's delicate neck is
immediately sliced open. Blood oozes out. "His girlfriend is in my hand. If you don't want her to die, let
Ryan come to see me!"
"If you let go of her now, perhaps you can...."
"Don't bullshit!" Before the captain finishes speaking, Dalton interrupts angrily. "Don't talk to me about
anything else. I want to see Ryan!"
He has just killed Owen and Samuel. Even if he lets go of Eunice now, he will definitely be sentenced
to death. He has no way of turning back. To take revenge on Ryan completely occupies his mind.
The captain of the operation does not allow Ryan to follow them. So, Ryan should be outside the
security line at the foot of the mountain. It is hard to control Ryan. If he is allowed to participate, things
will definitely develop in an uncontrollable direction.
Perhaps Dalton has died.
"Release the hostage. I can take you to the foot of the mountain to see Ryan."
Hearing this, Dalton suddenly laughs out loud. However, soon, he curses loudly, "Do you think I'm an
idiot?! If I let go of her and go with you, I'll be killed by Ryan!"
Just as the captain is pondering how to communicate with Dalton further, the walkie-talkie on his body
suddenly sounds. It is different from the one commonly seen in the market. It's very light, and only the
captain can hear it.
A man's deep and sinister voice comes from the headset.
"Turn on the speaker. Let Dalton hear her daughter's voice."
The captain frowns as he keeps fixing his eyes on Dalton's face.
He does not think that this is a good method. But in this situation, it seems that any attempt to
persuade Dalton is superfluous.
The captain has no choice but to spare one hand and quickly throws the small intercom to the ground.
At the same time, he switches on the loudspeaker...
"Dad, where are you?"
"Dad, this man is so strange. He insists that I call you...."
"Dad, are you listening to me?"
A girl's original voice comes from the intercom. Eunice can clearly feel Dalton tightens his grip on her
so much that he starts to tremble.
Is this child ... Dalton's daughter?
Soon, Dalton's heartbroken shout confirms Eunice's thoughts. "You kidnap my daughter! Let go of her!
Do you hear me? Let go of her! It has nothing to do with her. Ryan, this is our personal grudge. You
can't do anything to my daughter!"
"Release Eunice, or I'll kill your daughter now!"
As the familiar voice sounds, not to mention Dalton, even Eunice feels a chill run down her spine. Such
a bloodthirsty and cruel voice makes it hard for anyone to imagine Ryan is soft on Adair.
Dalton loses control and goes crazy. He even spits and all the veins on his neck bulge out. "If you dare
touch my daughter, I will kill your girlfriend!"
Dalton's voice is hoarse. "Bring my daughter to me. You can exchange yourself for this woman. I only
want my daughter to be safe!"
Dalton has done a lot of bad things. He doesn't care about anything except his daughter.
As Dalton finishes, Eunice stares at the interphone on the ground. Her heart is beating fast. After a
moment of silence, she hears Ryan say, "Alright."
No!
How can it be?
Eunice shakes her head. She absolutely can't let Ryan exchange for her!
Dalton seems to be relieved after receiving this answer. It is at this moment that Eunice discovers the
sniper opposite her. She cannot believe that she is brave enough to slam her shoulder back ruthlessly.
Behind Dalton is a cliff. He immediately steadies himself and pulls her back. Eunice's eyes turn red as
she slams into Dalton again....
The captain watches both of them disappear in front of him. The wind blows, and the grass on the cliff
shakes. Everything returns to calm.
