498 Sibling Bondage (1/2)
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.”
