Liu Shijie said, "What’s the point of listening to this? I don’t know what you’re doing, wasting time."
Yang Luo suddenly opened his eyes, and Liu Shijie felt Yang Luo’s gaze like a sharp sword, piercing his heart, making him feel suffocated.
"Shut the hell up," Yang Luo’s voice was icy, as if it came from the depths of hell.
After Yang Luo moved his gaze away, cold sweat trickled down Liu Shijie’s temples. In that instant, he felt so close to death. The intense killing aura that suddenly radiated from Yang Luo made him feel a fear he had never experienced before.
Yang Luo closed his eyes again, "Play it one more time." Wang Tong nodded and played it again.
After listening to it over ten times, Yang Luo opened his eyes and said, "Did you hear anything?"
Everyone shook their heads in confusion, and Yang Luo said, "I heard something."
"What did you hear?" Wang Tong asked.
"I heard the sound of a train passing and firecrackers."
Su Huanzheng was taken aback and said, "When I was talking to the kidnapper, I seemed to hear it too."
Wang Tong also nodded, "I heard it too, but it wasn’t clear."
Tan Long asked, "What’s the problem with that?"
Yang Luo’s lips curled into a strange smile, "This means the kidnapper’s location has been found."
Everyone’s spirits lifted, and they asked in unison, "Where?"
Yang Luo said, "Get me a map of Shanghai." Su Huanzheng quickly ran upstairs to the study and brought the map.
Yang Luo spread the map on the coffee table, and everyone gathered around, lowering their heads to look. But after looking for a long time, they still didn’t know where the kidnapper’s location should be.
Yang Luo suddenly pointed to the North Suburb Railway Station and said, "What is this place?"
Wang Tong said, "This is the freight yard of the North Suburb Railway Station." As soon as Wang Tong finished speaking, his eyes lit up, "Are you saying the kidnapper is here?"
Yang Luo nodded, and Han Bin said, "There are many railway stations and freight yards in Shanghai. How can you be sure the kidnapper is here?"
Yang Luo raised his head, "If I were the kidnapper, I would never stay too far from the hostage’s family. If I were too far, I wouldn’t be able to control the situation, and it would easily get out of hand."
Han Bin’s expression changed, "That means this place is likely being monitored by the kidnapper, and they can see our every move clearly?"
Yang Luo said in a deep voice, "Not likely, but definitely being monitored."
Han Bin nodded, "I trust your judgment, but this is just a general location. We still don’t know the exact location. If we act rashly, we might alert them."
Yang Luo said, "Have you forgotten? There were also firecrackers."
Wang Tong’s eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Right! There must be a wedding near the kidnapper." Hearing this, Liu Shijie involuntarily trembled.
Han Bin stood up and said, "Notify our people and the special police to take action immediately."
Yang Luo stopped him, "Wait!" The people who were about to leave the room stopped in their tracks.
"We are already being monitored. If we go out like this, we will alert them," Yang Luo said.
Tan Long said, "Brother, we’re at this point now, just say it quickly, don’t keep us in suspense."
Yang Luo smiled and said, "Wait for the kidnapper to make the second call, then we will act."
Han Bin paced back and forth, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! I’m taking a gamble this time. I’m handing over the command to you. Don’t let me down."
