Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 809

These days, the bold thrive while the timid starve.

If they were caught and taken to the police station, they'd inevitably face some physical "education", followed by hefty fines and deportation back to Cedonia.

The smuggler had experienced this before and didn't want to go through it again. So, without much hesitation, he nodded at Emelie's suggestion.

"Let's do it!" the smuggler said.

William looked down at Emelie. "You don't think that my plan is better?"

If they could negotiate a ransom with the police, they could temporarily stay at the station until Ashton and the others arrived to take them back to Cedonia.

Emelie replied, "Let's try escaping first. If that doesn't work, we can always fall back on your plan."

William frowned. "Is this really necessary?"

Isn't this just redundant?

Emelie smirked. "I love a good thrill."

Although this was a border town, it was still quite populated. As they approached a turn, they encountered a traffic jam, which forced the police car to stop.

Emelie gave the smuggler a look.

Suddenly, the smuggler kicked the rear door of the old police car open.

Border police often had to round up batches of illegal border crossers. They were so used to it that they didn't pay much attention to the detainees and didn't expect them to dare attempt an escape. Their guard was so lax that they didn't even handcuff anyone.

After the smuggler kicked open the door, he shouted, "Run!"

Everyone hesitated for a second before scrambling out of the police car.

The police officers in the front realized what was happening only after everyone had run out. They quickly jumped out of the car and shouted, "Stop! All of you, stop!"

But, of course, no one listened. Everyone scattered in different directions.

The police were undermanned and called for backup on their radios as they chased after the fleeing crowd.

The chase in the crowded market caused an immediate uproar. People were knocked over, and chaos ensued.

It appeared that they didn't initiate any attacks. For instance, at the hospital, it was clear that the group of men in black was searching for the woman while she was constantly hiding and fleeing.

Could it be that this was manhunt targeting these two?

Curious netizens, always eager to investigate, began analyzing their identities and actions. They wanted to figure out what was really going on. Some had even started tracking them online.

With surveillance cameras everywhere, soon enough, photos of the duo's sightings were being shared across the internet.

Whether on the street or a bus, their journey was being followed and exposed. Tens of thousands of netizens collectively tracked their escape route.

This unexpected internet spectacle quickly turned Emelie and William into overnight sensations, which drew massive attention.

...

The situation escalated so dramatically that even Natalia had heard about it.

She was furious. "Idiots! Useless trash! You couldn't even capture two sick people! Now it's become a national scandal!"
