Even recalling this moment from many years later, Xiao Hong would not forget what happened that day.
Less than half a minute after he yelled out the phrase "I would rather die than be stripped of freedom", he raised his hands without hesitation. He looked at the person who walked past the corpses.
"Don't! Don't shoot! I surrender, I surrender! I will give you whatever you want! Don't kill me!"
After looking at the corpse on the ground, Wang Peng moved the muzzle slightly. He aimed at Xiao Hong and Gao Ruiming and said in a cold voice, "Hand over Academician Lu."
"Academician Lu?"
"Don't play dumb with me."
His muzzle moved down an inch, and Wang Peng squeezed the trigger impatiently.
Hearing the bang of the gun, Xiao Hong looked at the concrete shards splashing on the edge of his pants. He flinched in fear and shouted in panic.
