Chapter 528
Everything around was dark and I couldn’t see anything. When I came to, Leeha had already been abandoned here alone.
“Phew, I don’t know where. “The smell of the sea is strong, but I don’t know Hong Kong very well.”
My body was restrained and I couldn’t move properly.
In order to handle the radio, Lee had to place it on the floor and press on it as if burying his face.
[It smells like the sea? Are you hearing anything special around you? What about the kidnappers? Did you hear anything? What about Hwajeong?]
“If there was… Kehek, I told you about it. ah! I was a westerner. Five people. It was quite big. Mrs. Ram Hwa-jeong is not nearby. “I think I left him here because he wasn’t needed… He may be an amateur kidnapper, but he might still be dangerous.”
Even though I was unwell and confused, the following thoughts passed calmly.
At least he doesn’t have any enmity against Westerners.
Above all, isn’t the treatment too rough?
‘I left the translator in my ear and didn’t even check my belongings. Did they think that if they were kept here, they would wither and die on their own? Or…’
He might not have any intention of killing him in the first place.
The kidnappers wanted Ram Hwajeong. No, if the situation were to this extent, they probably did not want Ramhwajeong.
It was clear that they were trying to use Ram Hwa Pavilion as an excuse to get something from the Lam Long Group.
Lee Ha was able to deduce these facts simply by opening his eyes, looking around, and being able to talk to Ram Hwayeon on the phone.
It was an analysis of the situation based on reasonable suspicion.
[We know roughly what kind of criminal he is. First of all, Leeha, make sure your safety first, okay? Because we will first track the location using frequency analysis.]
“Huh, that’s how it should be. okay. If you talk too much, you might get caught, so let’s hang up first. “I’ll contact you if I learn anything new.”
Lee Ha took his face away from the radio.
Analyzing the frequency and backtracking the location?
‘Anyway, it’s amazing. How can you say something so confidently that even the police can’t do? Anyway, this is my first trip abroad. What kind of disaster is this?’
Lee Ha narrowed his eyes and looked around.
Eyes that have begun dark adaptation gradually begin to acquire the ability to perceive their surroundings. The surroundings were just empty.
There was literally ‘nothing’.
‘It’s quite large, but it’s a space with nothing… There aren’t any windows… It looks like there are lights…’
If it’s above ground, it’s clearly a warehouse to store something that shouldn’t be exposed to light, or it’s underground. see. But the surroundings are so empty.
‘This smell, the dust…’
It seems likely that the basement is still under construction.
‘It’s not an above-ground warehouse. If it’s on the ground, no matter how much you block it, there’s bound to be a gap, but here, you really can’t see anything. ‘I don’t think dark adaptation will be possible at this level anymore?’
If so, this is the basement of the building.
Lee closed his eyes and concentrated on the sound. Are there any footsteps approaching? Can’t you hear the conversation?
“…It was completely neglected. “Can you say this is confinement?”
Lee Ha confirmed the state of his arms and legs being bound. It was too thin to be a rope. Probably cable ties.
‘First, I’ll have to pretend to be dead and wait. Just as they left me unattended, the safest thing to do is to just wait until Ram Hwayeon finds my location…’
─!
For a moment, Leeha’s body flinched.
This is because a very thin and long woman’s scream was heard, as if it had penetrated several layers of sound insulation.
‘Ramhwajeong?!’
I couldn’t be sure that it was Ram Hwa-jeong’s voice. However, it was a cowardly act to think that the scream heard in this situation was another woman.
“shit!”
Lee Ha quickly looked around.
However, I couldn’t cut the cable tie on my own when there was ‘nothing’ around, let alone a sharp object.
‘Damn, damn, damn. If something happens to Ram Hwa-jeong….’
No way. A decision had to be made below.
I know that leaving the rat dead is the safest way!
We can’t just stay still at this point. Lee Ha eventually pressed his face into the radio again.
“Mrs. Ram Hwayeon! “I need to get rid of the walkie-talkie first.”
[what? What are you talking about all of a sudden?]
“I heard something that sounded like Mrs. Ram Hwa-jeong screaming. You need something sharp to untie it. Even if the radio is smashed, you can still track its location, right?”
[Now, sleep, wait! Wait, Leeha! What are you going to do!? Do you think this is Middle Earth? On the topic of patients, I didn’t know what they might have, so I made a hasty move…]
“I’m sorry!”
Lee Ha took a deep breath and put his head towards the small radio on the floor.
A warm feeling came from my temple, and suddenly the radio shattered.
“Turn off ….”
I bite my lower lip and find a sharp debris that is painful. Fortunately, there were a lot of plastic pieces with quite sharp edges lying around on the floor.
‘Whoo, whoo, whoo.’
Lee Ha grunted and picked it up, moving his fingers hard while he was tied behind him.
It was never easy to cut off the cable tie because it was not possible to ‘saw’ it to a large extent. It was something that couldn’t have come out of a normal way of thinking… but Lee Ha had experience.
When I was in the military, I tried to test the power of cable ties by using all kinds of objects to see if I could cut them.
‘do. I could have done with something smaller than this. Surely this works too!’
About 10 minutes to have faith and move while sweating profusely. Finally, Leeha cut off the straps on his arms.
And when I cut off the straps on his legs, Leeha finally realized.
“…What should we do now?”
The lower body is too tired to stand up. Even if you can barely stand up, isn’t it impossible to stand for more than 15 minutes?
Moreover, the only weapons(?) given were a couple of plastic pieces?
Lee Ha has to face the five large Dutchmen with just this.
‘Think about it. think. ‘This is not a fight.’
All you have to do is take out the ram flower tablet. All you have to do is go out to the main street. All you have to do is spread the news to other Hong Kongers.
“Whoa… if it wasn’t for the screaming.”
Lee Ha sighed and shook his head.
Then, in order to save the strength of my lower body, I started crawling on the floor to find a way out.
* * *
“Damn it! What can you do! “I can’t even stand properly yet!”
Ram Hwayeon caught the radio on the floor! I hit it and threw it away.
The harsh words and actions were not just anger. There will be greater worry and sadness than that.
When Lam Huayeon lost her temper, the people around her, including Lampeng, flinched. The experts brought in by Lampeng and those brought in by Lam Huayen were also sweating profusely.
“How long does location tracking take?”
“Well, the frequency has been specified, but it will take some time to trace it back.”
“It doesn’t even go through a base station, so why does it take so long?! “Isn’t this just a direct radio?”
“Yeah, that’s true, but… it’s that easy with the currently recorded information…”
“Hurry up. “Finish in 10 minutes.”
“Just to confirm the radius of 500m, it would take at least 30 minutes…”
Ram Hwayeon walked steadily.
Then he looked down at the ‘expert’ sitting there.
“10 minutes. Finish it in there. Whether it is a 1km radius or 700m radius. “Once it is confirmed, the rest can be solved using numbers.”
The location doesn’t have to be exact.
This means that even if it is a radius of 1km, the area will be ‘filled to the brim’ with people.
And the expert was able to read Ram Hwayeon’s anger very strongly within it. There was only one answer to give now.
“Oh, I understand.”
The expert’s uvula trembled at Ram Hwayeon’s majestic words. Ram Hwayeon’s expression was completely distorted.
‘Please don’t be stupid and wait, Leeha. Here, you are worse than an ordinary person…’
Lee Ha didn’t even have time to think about what she was worried about.
I was busy trying to find the door in the dark, had to focus on the sounds beyond the door, and had to put all my concentration into opening the door when I thought safety was secured.
‘As expected, it’s underground. Is this their hideout? There didn’t seem to be anyone there…’
It was fortunate that the door wasn’t locked.
The following fully predicts what they are thinking.
The opponent is Lamlong Group. This type of work is not something where information can be collected and implemented in a day or two.
In the meantime, information from various people, including the following, must have been collected near the hospital. You can tell just by looking at the fact that Na-ra, Bo-bae, and Ki-jeong, who were next to Lee Ha-jeong and Ram Hwa-jeong, all moved as soon as they left for Korea.
They wouldn’t have cared less.
‘You probably know exactly that I’m a cripple who can’t even move my lower body properly.’
Wasn’t he sitting in a wheelchair at the time of kidnapping?
Therefore, they only roughly tied it down, but the restraints on space were actually loose.
The room at the end of the hallway on the basement floor was where Leeha was imprisoned. Even as he crawled, he did not forget to look around.
‘The deadline is not done properly. It’s not finished yet. There isn’t even proper lighting.’
I could feel it just by looking at the ceiling where various pipes were moving around randomly.
A building that has barely completed its construction, including the doors. It is not only the basement floor that was not properly renovated.
The ground floor will also have gaps.
At the end of the hallway, Lee climbed up the stairs with minimal lower body strength and maximum arm strength.
“…!”
“―….”
It was then that a very small voice was heard.
Leeha carefully walked around the landing. I could see a light coming from a distance. There were only silhouettes, but I could also make out two figures.
‘That’s the main entrance on the first floor. There are two people guarding it.’
If the kidnappers are confirmed to be the five people seen that day, it means that there are at least three people watching Ramhwajeong.
Lee Ha wanted to run out there and shout, but not only was it impossible, but he also had no idea what the conditions were like out there.
In the worst case scenario, you have to consider the possibility that there is no one out there.
Paying attention to the two people who were busy talking while guarding the entrance, Lee quickly climbed the stairs.
As I rounded the landing of the stairs leading from the first to the second floor, there was a clear light that caught my eye.
The dim sunlight outside was not seeping in.
Completely artificial light. It was also a dim, indirect light that was not shot from the ceiling, but was shot from the floor and reflected on the ceiling.
‘There it is.’
The second floor was not even properly partitioned, so only the pillars were visible. Of course, the exterior wall had been built, but the entire second floor looked like one room.
In the darkness, illuminated by indirect lighting, shadows were visible to the following eyes.
“I will kill you! you. “I remembered your face.”
“Hehehe, I find Asian women’s pronunciation attractive.”
The squeezing voice came from a small, struggling shadow.
A large shadow was also seen making a move to suppress the small, struggling shadow.
“Do your best. If you do something that leaves DNA behind, you will be wanted by the Chinese police. “Interpol may be asked to cooperate.”
“Tuh, we can’t live in this country anyway, right? I’ll just take care of this matter and go back to my country right away, so what does it matter? Can Interpol catch me in my country? This bitch probably doesn’t even know what country we are from anyway. “You can’t even understand!”
