The other man also lifted his, aiming it at Isaac.

Isaac felt someone approach him, but it was hard to decipher the attacker's exact spot.

At this critical moment, a loud bang echoed.

The man who was about to attack Isaac paused in shock.

His partner was shot in the chest!

Before he could come to his rescue, his partner fell down with a loud thud.

Blood covered the rocky ground of the river bank.

None of the men expected Jacob to carry a gun.

Stopping his attempt to attack Isaac, the other man tried to pacify Jacob, "Okay, easy. Let's take this down a notch. Don't forget we still have your son."

Jacob knew that if he let them go to inform their boss, his son would really be in danger.

Not wanting that to happen, he fired the gun at the other man without warning.

The other man was in shock, clutching his bleeding chest.

Falling to his knees in pain, he threatened, “You know killing us will put your son's life in danger."

Jacob ignored it and grabbed Isaac's hand to escape.

They stopped running until they reached a deserted area with tall grasses.

Squatting down, they were unnoticeable to people passing by.

It was a good hiding spot.

Jacob gave the phone to Isaac. He had already set it to silent mode to avoid attracting other people's attention.

At that moment, Jacob couldn't care less if Isaac could help him.

He confided in Isaac, sharing every detail of his situation. "My son is in their hands. We have no choice but to work for them. Those two men's bodies will be discovered soon. I have to go back to save my wife. You can contact your family and get them to help you." Jacob surveyed the surroundings cautiously as he spoke. He found the number he had dialed last time and pressed the key to dial it for Isaac.
