Chapter 1137 She Is Worried About Him
At the moment Alivia found the police, the captain and the other approaching armed police also noticed them.
It had to be said that although Owen deliberately left a passage, he was not someone with strong counter-surveillance abilities. Because the spot he chose to take a break was slightly lower in terrain compared to its surroundings, one could stand slightly higher in the surrounding area with foliage for cover, which allowed him to see everything in front and behind the rock.
Among those who went up the mountain, there was a professional sniper. At this moment, he was positioned on high ground behind Owen, using the dense foliage in front of him to adjust the position of his firearm quietly. He extended the rifle's barrel slightly forward and pressed it down a bit. Then, he narrowed one eye and focused solely on the scope.
They had received instructions during their prior planning that if there was a suspicion of the suspect attempting to escape, they could use firearms. He would not kill Owen. The target was his leg.
As long as Owen couldn't escape and couldn't harm the hostage, that was enough.
Alivia couldn't locate the sniper's position, but she could see the armed police relatively closer. However, she deliberately avoided their line of sight, fearing that Owen might notice.
Just as everything was ready and the sniper was preparing to shoot, Owen, who had remained still, either sensed something or coincidentally stood up and walked to where Alivia was. He pulled her up and placed her in front of himself as a shield.
When the sniper saw it through the camera, he raised his head with a frown and made a gesture to the captain, indicating that he could not shoot for the time being.
Bullets could not be used casually. Without a good opportunity, he could not act rashly. Otherwise, both sides would suffer.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
The captain stared at Owen. Owen was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he carried Alivia to the edge of a cliff.
Although the mountain itself was not high, if one were to fall down that cliff, the human body would not be able to withstand it.
This action instantly made the captain's heart race, but fortunately, Owen didn't make any aggressive moves. It appears he just felt there wouldn't be anyone behind that spot, which gave him a sense of security.
The scene fell into a deadlock. Everyone was lying around in ambush, and even their breathing was restrained. They didn't dare to breathe until a gust of wind blew.
They couldn't wait any longer. If Owen started moving again after resting, although he might reveal his position during the action, the sniper wouldn't be able to easily adjust his aim while moving.
As time went by, for the captain, every second felt like a long time.
He knew how important this kidnapping case was to the higher-ups. It must be solved perfectly.
He knew how much importance the higher-ups attached to this kidnapping case; it had to be resolved successfully.
Owen was shocked by the man in a black uniform who suddenly appeared in front of him. He immediately stood up, stood on the edge of the cliff, and directly pulled Alivia in front of him. Holding a dagger in his hand, he put it against her neck.
Behind him was the rising sun, but when the warm light fell on the knife, it turned into a piercing cold light.
Alivia couldn't make a sound. She could only look at the police in front of her with her eyes wide open. She was very worried about him. Although he was the one holding the gun, the sight of Matthew falling just now had instilled a deep fear of the twisted man, Owen, in Alivia's bones.
She didn't want anyone to get hurt because of her.
"Owen, I order you to let go of the hostage now!" The captain's voice was like a clap of thunder, and it made people's hearts tighten.
Owen's gaze was fixed on the other person as he grinned maliciously, "Don't talk nonsense. Ask Bert to come to see me! Let him come see me!"
