The Patrol Captain said impatiently, "Squad Seven acknowledges."
A voice came through the communicator, "Squad Seven, hurry to district D4 to support Squad Two. Repeat, Squad Seven, hurry to district D4 to support Squad Two."
The captain of Squad Seven responded, "Squad Seven acknowledges, Squad Seven acknowledges."
This patrol team arrived quickly and left just as quickly; they didn't even have time for a patrol around the area before they hurried off to D4 district.
This provided Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu with an opportunity. In fact, they hadn't gone far because the black-clothed figure's flute had been left behind. Tan Rou had almost grabbed the flute, so there was no way she could leave. Moreover, she had made up her mind that if the patrol soldiers picked up the flute, she would rush out to snatch it.
Zhuang Liu had left but then circled back; since Tan Rou was still there, he couldn't go far.
