Song Xiaodong made this decision out of helplessness; the other party had failed twice in a row, clearly aware that they were well-prepared on this side. To ambush them again was now impossible.
However, Song Xiaodong had also guessed something: the other party's target must be the person holding the badge. The badge itself isn't that important, otherwise, they would have captured Feng Kexin first and then searched her for the badge.
The fact that they were only after Feng Kexin's life was enough to illustrate the point.
This also indicated that the person possessing the badge might represent a certain identity, and perhaps even wield certain power. The other side didn't want them to have this power, which is why they went straight for the kill.
Song Xiaodong had pondered another question: since they were all sent out initially, there surely were supporters. Was there really no one stepping forward to protect them now?
