The two men stood at the entrance of the alley, hesitating slightly.
The person they were following had emerged from the bazaar and walked directly into the dim, deserted alley.
They suspected that their target had realized he was being followed, and had deliberately chosen to head into the alley to set a trap.
"What do we do?" One of them asked.
The other one frowned, stating, "We've got no choice. If we don't bring that man back, Boss Lei won't let us off the hook."
"Should we call for backup?"
"There's no time. As long as we don't kill that young man, we should manage."
"Okay, let's do it."
Both men made sure their weapons were secure at their waist, then stepped into the shadowy alley.
As dusk approached, the horizon began to be tinged with a red glow.
The alley darkened further. A homeless man snored loudly beside a pile of garbage.
The two men quickened their pace, fearing that their target might escape from the dark alley.
