At the same time, to investigate the reasons that led him to this point of no return.
"Zhang Botian, I'm Lin Hao, Deputy County Magistrate of Wucheng County. I believe that as a police officer, you would not have come to this unless absolutely necessary. Surrender now and I can give you a chance to explain."
Lin Hao's voice boomed through the loudspeaker, echoing through the entire valley.
"County Magistrate Lin, there's no turning back for me now. Don't push me," Zhang Botian snarled fiercely.
Zhang Boqing also took a megaphone, shouting, "Zhang Botian, I'm Zhang Boqing, the Chief of Police. Put down your weapon and surrender; it's your last way out."
"Chief, don't come any closer, or I'll... I'll kill you." Zhang Botian raised his pistol, on guard, looking for a way out, hoping to escape.
