337: Chapter 344 Rescue 337: Chapter 344 Rescue At this ti, Jas Brown interjected, “Have you decided to give them the money?”
Sarah Grandy’s father nodded and said, “For Charlotte, I must give them the money.
Please do not call the police.”
Jas Brown replied, “I could help you rescue Sarah Grandy.”
The mother of Sarah Grandy imdiately said with excitent, “Can you really rescue Charlotte?”
Jas Brown nodded, “There should be no problem, but I still need your cooperation.”
However, Sarah Grandy’s father shook his head and said, “No, I can’t take this risk.
As long as I give them the money, they won’t harm Charlotte.
Acting rashly could easily antagonize them, making Charlotte even less safe.”
If they thought about other thods, Sarah Grandy’s father would definitely consider going to the police first, but since he didn’t even trust the police now, he naturally wouldn’t trust soone like Jas Brown either.
Jas Brown didn’t insist and said, “Well, if you need my help, you can call .”
Watching Charlotte’s parents leave in a hurry, Jas Brown turned to Gina Lopez and said, “I’m going to help them.”
“How can you help?
Didn’t they just refuse your help?” Gina Lopez looked at Jas Brown with confusion.
Jas Brown smiled slightly, “I have my ways.
You go ho first, I’ll follow them secretly.”
Gina Lopez hesitated, then nodded, “Then be careful.”
Jas Brown nodded and hailed a taxi to follow in the direction of Sarah Grandy’s ho.
The sudden incident with Sarah Grandy unexpectedly gave Jas Brown a feeling of relief, because he had a good reason to leave the house and not face Gina Lopez alone.
To ordinary police, such kidnapping cases might be rare, but Jas Brown had experienced many, and those were well-planned and strategically executed kidnappings of significant figures.
He had managed to rescue those people successfully.
So for a minor kidnapping like this, he was quite confident.
Of course, it was predicated on the assumption that Sarah Grandy was still safe; otherwise, even if Jas was capable, rescuing a dead person would be useless.
Sitting in the car, Jas Brown fiddled with his wristwatch.
At first glance, the watch seed very ordinary, not even worth fourteen dollars, but when Jas fiddled with it, a detailed map suddenly appeared with a small dot currently centered on it.
As the second-in-command of Hawk Squad, apart from his personal capabilities, Jas Brown naturally had access to plenty of advanced tech.
This inconspicuous watch had many functions; during Sarah Grandy’s father’s call with the kidnappers, Jas had already used the satellite positioning system in his watch to lock onto the location of the other party.
Now he could directly find his way into their den.
Instructing the taxi to head towards the location indicated on the map, Jas Brown arrived only to find a garbage bin in front of a large mall.
Without a doubt, after making the call, the kidnapper had thrown the phone card into this garbage bin.
Jas Brown smiled slightly; it seed that the kidnapper knew sothing about anti-tracking techniques, temporarily evading Jas Brown’s tracking.
But Jas Brown was not worried.
Any kidnapper would think of this, otherwise, they would be utterly foolish.
The wristwatch beeped twice, and Jas Brown moved to a quiet spot, pressing a small button on the watch; the voice of Sarah Grandy’s father ca through, indicating the watch could even eavesdrop on his phone calls – truly a powerful gadget.
But at this ti, Sarah Grandy’s father was calling friends to borrow money.
Having to co up with seventy thousand dollars so suddenly, he surely faced difficulties.
After buying two hamburgers, Jas Brown casually sat on a bench by the roadside to eat, and after smoking two cigarettes, the kidnappers finally made another call to Sarah Grandy’s father.
Jas Brown imdiately located the position of the call, not far from here, about two kiloters away.
Jas didn’t rush over imdiately.
Another hour went by, and another call was made to Sarah Grandy’s father.
The location of this call was slightly to the south, but not far from Jas Brown.
Through these three calls, Jas roughly figured out that the kidnappers were close by, although constantly changing locations, they were not too far from their lair.
The kidnappers demanded that Sarah Grandy’s father raise the funds before Twelve O’Clock tonight or they would ‘tear the ticket’.
Sarah Grandy’s father finally managed to gather the money shortly before Eleven o’clock, and then they agreed to et at a small square more than ten kiloters away from here.
Even though Jas Brown heard the call, he didn’t hurry over.
It was clearly a Doubt Formation, and once Sarah Grandy’s father arrived there, he certainly would be directed to change locations.
Jas Brown was now more concerned about the location from which the calls were made.
After Sarah Grandy’s father was made to change locations twice, Jas Brown had already pinpointed Amy Chan’s whereabouts because there had been no change in the location of the calls.
It seed they felt the money was about to be in hand, and there was no ti to change places anymore.
Or rather, they must have had soone watching Sarah Grandy’s father, and seeing no police presence near his ho, they concluded that he had not reported to the police, which made them bolder.
The location wasn’t far from here; it took Jas Brown just over ten minutes to walk there.
This place was quite unique, situated between two residential complexes with a small cluster of single-story houses, approximately six or seven households.
In the city, most single-story houses have been relocated to make way for high-rises, but due to so families demanding excessively high prices, the developers had two options other than eting their terms: forced eviction or simply leaving them be.
The latter option would lead to a less satisfying overall layout of the community but would prevent excessively high costs.
The developers here seed not to have resorted to forced eviction, and as a result of so families holding out for high prices, they ended up in this awkward situation.
Their surroundings had been cleared out, and relocating their small area beca valueless, finally turning it into a unique cityscape.
The location for calling Sarah Grandy’s father was the second house on the left, from which a faint light could be seen, as though the curtains were very tightly drawn.
Jas Brown made his way to the back of this single-story house, which had a pretty high wall—about two ters—but to Jas, this wasn’t really an obstacle.
With a simple boost from his right hand on the top of the wall and a light push from his feet, he had already climbed up, but instead of going over entirely, he just barely peeked over to scan the area.
The backyard was full of fruit trees, which obscured Jas’s view, but they also shielded him from others’ eyes.
With a push against the wall, his entire body was up, and with a quick grab for a tree branch at the wall edge, he was soon climbing up the tree.
At that mont, Jas beca as agile as a monkey.
In no ti, he was under the rear window and could hear voices from inside.
A man chuckled twice, saying, “Hehe, Lily Jane, with seventy thousand dollars in our hands this ti, we’re really striking it rich.”
A woman’s voice followed: “Look at your ambition, content with just seventy thousand dollars.
I thought this guy was loaded, but we could only get this much out of him.”
“We’re just testing the waters this ti.
Next, we’ll target a big fish, aiming to bag a few hundred thousand or even millions at once.
Then wherever we go, we’ll live in style and pleasure.”
“Hmph, you good-for-nothing scumbag, making your own woman sleep with another man.”
“Hehe, what’s the harm in sleeping a bit?
If I don’t offer my wife, how do we lure the lecher in?”
“Enough, hurry and call that guy; it’s ti for us to go get the money.”
“And what about this little girl?”
“What a stupid question.
Why keep her?
She’s seen our faces.
Hurry up and kill her, end it once and for all.”
“Ah, it’s such a sha, killing such a pretty little girl like that…
How about I play with her a bit first before we kill her?”
“Are you asking to die?
Hurry up and kill her, let’s get the money and scram.”
“Alright, alright.”
As the two spoke about killing Charlotte, a muffled sound ca from within, presumably Sarah Grandy gagged with sothing.
At this mont, Jas could wait no longer.
With a push against the ground, his body shot toward the window like a cannonball, shattering the glass window into flying shards.
In the next mont, Jas had appeared inside the room.
Just from the sound of the two’s conversation, Jas deduced they weren’t near this side of the window, and neither was Charlotte, which was why he dared to crash in this way.
Otherwise, the splintering glass would have marred Charlotte’s face.
The room was plain, with nothing but a table and a few chairs.
At this mont, Charlotte was tied up against the wall, her mouth sealed with clear tape.
Her expression instantly morphed from panic to euphoria, she twisted her body powerfully, her mouth making muffled sounds.
A man was standing very close to Charlotte, holding a rope, apparently prepared to strangle her.
He appeared to be in his mid-twenties, tall and quite handso, which made sense why Sarah Grandy’s father had been tempted by him.
The woman, of similar age and striking beauty, was no wonder either.
However, both faces now showed shock, and the woman stamred, “Who…
who are you?” But the hand behind her back revealed a glint of cold light—that was a specially modified dagger, a lethal weapon used only by hitn.
