Chapter 2710 Locking the target
Hostage exchange is the best way to rescue. As long as both parties have the hostages that the other party needs, the exchange can be facilitated. Child and Sean are both one of the twelve elders of the Dark Church. Either one is enough to exchange the tentacle monster back, but Luo Zheng favors Childe for a simple reason. Childe is in charge of the Dark Church's economy. If Childe is captured and exchanged, it will severely damage Childe's status and influence in the Dark Church, and it will also affect the Dark Church's finances. It will be a big blow, but it is different for Sean. Luo Zheng cannot see the importance of Sean in the Dark Church for the time being.
If Sean can run for president of Sam Country, there is no doubt about his status and influence, but if his identity is exposed and he becomes a prisoner, a person without political capital will not be of much use. This is the fundamental reason why Luo Zheng gave Jackson three days. , if Child can be found within three days, then everything will be worth it. If not, it will not be too late to get Sean out by then, but the tentacle monster will have to suffer in these three days.
It is inevitable for a person who is imprisoned to suffer, but he should not die. Otherwise, there is no need for the Dark Church to take measures to imprison him. It would be easier to just kill him. Luo Zheng didn’t know why the Dark Church only imprisoned him. The instructions for imprisoning him should be within three days. There is no risk to life.
In the following time, Luo Zheng patiently waited for news from all sources. Xuelian's side hacked into the mobile phones of some people in Guanta Prison to monitor intelligence, but the effect was minimal. No one talked about the tentacle monster, as if there was no such person in the prison. Generally speaking, it is a pity that you cannot hack into the prison's internal system, otherwise you can find out more information through surveillance.
The intelligence personnel mobilized by Red Plum Blossom were unable to detect Childe's whereabouts, and Blue Star's Information Office had no better way. This made Luo Zheng a little anxious. He stayed in the office every day guarding his computer and phone. As everyone knows Luo Zheng was in such a mood that he didn't dare to disturb him and was doing his own thing seriously.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the third day that Luo Zheng got impatient and picked up his cell phone to call Jackson. Unexpectedly, the other party actually called. Luo Zheng was startled and then overjoyed. He quickly answered the phone with a deep expectant voice. Asked: "It's me, I hope it's good news."
"We found Child. This bastard is actually on an aircraft carrier. However, the aircraft carrier has docked at the Houston Deepwater Terminal. This bastard has gone ashore and was escorted by a convoy. I don’t know where he is going. There are eight vehicles in total. No arrests have been made." I can't touch him." Jackson said solemnly.
"I understand, knowing where he is will help." Luo Zheng was overjoyed and said gratefully. He didn't expect that this guy actually went to an aircraft carrier. No wonder he couldn't find it. He suddenly thought of the high-level meeting of the Dark Church that the tentacle monster had mentioned. For one thing, are the top leaders of the Dark Church holding a meeting on the aircraft carrier? Isn't this too high-profile?
With the energy of the Dark Church, Luo Zheng believed that they could hold the meeting anywhere, not to mention on the aircraft carrier, even in a conference room in the White House. However, the aircraft carrier was safer. No one would dare to take action even if their whereabouts were exposed. The aircraft carrier His fighting ability is not a vegetarian, he is a very smart choice. Luo Zheng sighed secretly, asked for Childe's specific location, hung up the phone, and hurriedly dialed the internal line to Lan Xing, telling Lan Xue to monitor Childe.
As long as there is news, it will be easy to handle. Luo Zheng is not afraid of Childe running away. To be on the safe side, Luo Zheng called Xue Lian and asked Xue Lian to help keep an eye on it. This was the best clue to rescue the tentacle monster. Xue Lian was full of words I agreed, asked for the specific coordinates of the location, hung up the phone, and followed up.
Childe's clues gave Luo Zheng hope of rescuing the tentacle monster, and even more hope of attacking the Dark Church. He relaxed and waited patiently for further news. About ten minutes later, Blue Star called the internal line, Childe entered a manor.
The manor was on the outskirts of the city. Luo Zheng immediately asked Blue Star to inform Lan Xue and Hong Meihua to come to the conference room for a meeting. After hanging up the phone, Luo Zheng did not go over immediately. Instead, he dialed Xuelian's phone number to confirm that Childe had indeed gone to the manor. Finally, he quickly came to the conference room and found Lan Xue, Hong Meihua and Lan Xing already waiting.
Luo Zheng found a seat and sat down, and said eagerly: "Bring up the surveillance footage."
"Yes." Blue Star quickly agreed and projected the satellite surveillance image onto the electronic screen.
A huge manor appeared on the electronic screen, looking like a castle, with a pointed tower top, a huge building, surrounded by green trees, and an open grassland at the gate with a fountain, a parking lot, and many plainclothes bodyguards. While patrolling, Luo Zheng saw that the manor looked very old, so he looked at Lan Xing and asked in a deep voice, "How much do you know about this manor?"
Lan Xue and Hong Meihua didn't know yet, so they looked at Blue Star curiously. Blue Star thought for a while and explained: "This manor has been around for more than two hundred years. It has a construction area of about 100,000 square meters, with two floors, the main body and the upper and lower floors. The building is divided into three floors. It is hollow and about 20 meters high. The first floor is about ten meters high. The two sides are more than four meters high respectively. It is composed of countless small rooms. It is a typical Sam country ancient architectural style. Inside The situation is unknown.”
"What happened?" Lan Xue took the opportunity to ask curiously.
"Yes, what's wrong with this manor?" Hong Meihua also asked curiously.
"Childe is inside." Luo Zheng said seriously, while thinking.
"Child?" Hong Meihua asked in surprise. Seeing Luo Zheng's face in deep contemplation, she couldn't help but look at Blue Star. Blue Star nodded affirmatively and said nothing. Hong Meihua continued: "I know this manor. I have always known it." It’s quite mysterious. I heard that there has never been any party, which is very inconsistent with the social elite life of Sam Country.”
"Oh? What do you mean?" Luo Zheng asked curiously.
"The social elites of Sam country have a habit of holding various parties, private events and the like at home from time to time. They invite friends around them to participate, firstly to show their strength, and secondly to socialize in the circle. It is as big as an old castle. The building is supposed to organize various small activities, but no one has ever accepted the invitation. Instead, it makes this manor more mysterious. Everyone is curious about who the owner of this manor is, but they didn't expect it to be Chaile. De is such a bastard, no wonder he is so mysterious." Hong Meihua explained in a deep voice.
"With Child's identity and social status, if the outside world knows that he lives here, not many people will come to harass him. It will be annoying, and it is understandable if he doesn't hold a party. Now, we have a chance. What are you going to do? Do it?" Lan Xue looked at Luo Zheng and smiled in surprise.
"The guards here shouldn't be simple. Ordinary people definitely can't do it. I plan to let the people from the Veterans Club take action. It's our business to rescue the tentacle monsters, and it's their business. If we don't let them take action, it's hard to predict the future. Moreover, their abilities are better than Our people are more suitable for rescue." Luo Zheng said in a deep voice.
"Them?" Lan Xue was a little worried. The people in the Veterans Club were good at fighting, but their commanding ability and tactical adaptability were somewhat lacking.
Luo Zheng saw Lan Xue's worry and said in a deep voice: "I will lead the team myself, there will be no problem."
