Ye Shuang was unable to discuss her snap decision with anyone because even her discovery of the trap on these people was coincidental. As there was no time and there was no way she could send a message silently, to save herself the trouble, following Jennifer’s plan was the only solution left.
Therefore, when the explosion happened, Han Chu, who did not anticipate this, had no idea what happened. He abandoned Xiao San, who had just arrived, and rushed out of the home. He looked at the fire that followed the explosion frozenly, and he was stumped for quite some time.
“What’s going on?” Xiao San followed him out and looked in that direction. “This is getting out of hand. What’s our play?”
“…” This was not part of the plan. Han Chu pressed on his lips, and his eyes were starting to panic. Being pulled back by Xiao San’s voice, he forced himself to turn calmly around and not to run toward the explosion directly. “Tony, go and survey that area. Center the satellite image around ten kilometers of the explosion. Spread out from the center. The detail level of the image and angle should be at one grade for every three km, and they will be split into three levels…”
“Should I focus on the center of the explosion first or the outer perimeter?” Anthony also pulled his gaze back from the window. As he sat down, he pulled out the satellite pictures. He opened the spare laptops that had just been sent over, and as he shared the permission, he worked on all of them. “I can see it now. The explosion area has been locked on to. I’m now spreading the surveillance… Wait a minute, there are a few people under the trees near the explosion. They are probably avoiding… or observing the explosion. Currently, their identity is unknown.”
Han Chu was baffled. Then he released the breath that he did not know he was holding. Xiao San next to him turned over to look. “That is Mr. Ye’s current location? This is not within your expectations?”
The reaction earlier was too obvious. Han Chu did not wish to hide anything, so he admitted, “I think that should be him as well. Even though I have no idea why this happened, since he’s there, he’s not the one caught in the explosion. The worst situation is that there is a fall out among the criminals, or it was an accident, but Ye Shuang managed to escape with Ye Feng. The other possibility is that this is all his doing, and he has turned the table on the kidnappers.”
Then he turned his gaze to the phone. As he made the analysis, he regained control of the situation. With a reassuring confidence, he said, “If it’s the latter, I’m sure he will call to explain the situation soon.”
Five minutes later, after the explosion settled down, the phone was still shyly silent as it was being watched by everyone.
“…” Xiao San.
“…” Han Chu.
“…” Everyone else.
“Perhaps you got it wrong.” Xiao San coughed and broke up the awkward silence to console her. “Could it be that her signal is blocked?”
Anthony was flustered by the initial explosion and Han Chu’s reaction. After a while, his focus slowly returned. Hearing that, he giggled mockingly. “Han, why are you being so nervous? If Ye really had to do something outside the plan, if he could contact us, he would have done so already. He wouldn’t wait until now.”
Han Chu finally found the target to vent his anger. He stared coldly at the golden retriever. “What’s the update on your surveillance? Can the people under the trees be identified?”
“I’m sorry, but there’s no progress on my end.” Anthony shrugged without any worry. “Other than the earlier trace that we got, they soon went into hiding. They probably chose a path that was not visible from above, so they are now completely missing from the images.”
Han Chu scoffed. “Then you still have the luxury to chat with us?”
He glared sharply at Anthony. His tone was dark and severe. “If it was not Ye Shuang under the tree, then this person who was so close to the explosion is highly suspicious. We have to be cautious about his presence there. If it was Ye Shuang, then he would have known that we would review the area after the explosion. Under such circumstances, he still chose to hide himself. It can only mean that there is a third party that forced him to hide his presence. No matter which case it is, this is a hard situation on us, and you still have the luxury of time to run your mouth like that?”
Anthony was dumbfounded. “To scold me, you have to use such a detailed analysis?”
Han Chu wanted to knock the idiot out using his phone.
“I think Brother Han’s analysis makes sense.” Xiao San had to intervene. “Now is not the time to push the blame. The explosion has to serve a purpose, and I believe the purpose is to lure the culprit out. Be it the person who caused the explosion or the person who was lured out by the explosion, we have to pay attention to both.”
So, can we please stop arguing and get back to work?
…
Ye Shuang indeed carried the people and started to move while avoiding detection, but she did not move very far. After all, she needed to observe the area of the explosion to see who would come later.
The kidnappers were all being tied up by Ye Shuang using various readily found items. The source of the ropes was simple—the kidnappers had some on them. If that was not enough, Ye Shuang tore up their clothes. After all, the temperature was not that low.
The large criminals almost peed from Ye Shuang’s madness. They stared at the various materials… be it leather, synthetic cotton, or polyester… Materials with various tensile strengths were shredded like they were paper. Then thinking back to how easily she had torn through the iron chains, the few lost their desire to resist. What if their limbs were torn apart in the process of resistance? Their lives would only be more difficult.
“Don’t just tape over their mouth.” Ye Shuang had the time to teach her brother how to be a qualified kidnapper. “Twirl the cloth as firm as you can and stuck it in the mouth… Do you think this is a movie scene? Their tongue can wiggle. If you just tape a layer over their lips, they can cut through it easily.”
As the siblings worked together to control the kidnappers, someone who looked like a local appeared around the forest near the source of the explosion.
