However, there was no fear or panic in the depths of those eyes.
His eyes passed over the steel pipes and the kidnapper's twisted mask that were close at hand, and he scanned the surrounding environment very calmly - the dense bushes behind the kidnapper leader, and the natural shelter formed by a huge fallen rotten tree in the front left.
A narrow animal trail to the right leads to a deeper forest...
His gaze finally fell back on the kidnapper leader's only exposed, bloodshot eye.
The look in his eyes was as calm as a frozen lake, bottomless, with an all-knowing indifference and condescending scrutiny.
"One billion?" Ye Qingliu's voice sounded, a little unclear due to the pressure on his jaw, but it was unusually steady, and even carried a hint of cold sarcasm.
"The Ye family's legal team will ensure that you spend the rest of your life in prison. Every penny you earn will serve as irrefutable evidence to increase your sentence."
His tone was flat, as if he was stating a fact that had nothing to do with him.
The kidnapper leader was enraged by his look and words, and an inexplicable chill crept up his spine.
He was so angry that he swung the steel pipe and smashed it hard on Ye Qingliu's shoulder: "Damn it! Are you trying to scare me?!"
The moment Ye Qingliu's arm muscles exerted force, his body suddenly slid to the right! His movements were as fast as a black shadow!
The steel pipe fell with a sound of wind, almost brushing past his ear, and hit the ground where he had just stood, splashing up a cloud of dirt and grass.
In that split second, Ye Qingliu's wrists, which were tied behind his back, suddenly twisted and shifted at an incredible angle!

A pulse signal of a specific frequency, so weak that it was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, instantly penetrated the portable signal jammer that was working vigorously on the kidnapper's waist and was sent towards an unknown receiving point.
At the same time, on the mountaintop platform.
The screen of the locator in Duan Shuce's hand suddenly jumped! An extremely faint red light, like a firefly in the dark, flickered tenaciously in the gray blind spot representing the strong signal shielding area, and then the coordinates were instantly locked!
"Got it!" Duan Shuce's voice was filled with suppressed excitement, and he suddenly turned the screen towards Ning Xiwan.
"Qingliu's watch signal! Location confirmed! About 150 meters northeast of the pool, in a clearing in the woods!"
Ning Xiwan's eyes flashed with coldness. Without any hesitation, she immediately shouted into another phone connected to the encrypted channel: "Coordinates updated! Repeat, coordinates updated! Target confirmed! Requesting immediate action! Repeat! Immediate action!"
