I Have A Dual World Seal

Chapter 1120: Chapter 1119: Temptation and Threats on the Road to Kidnapping

South Shore of Lake Ontario, Western Rochester, New York State, not far from the shore, a van was driving on a sparsely populated and long-neglected road.

Lei Zhiyun slowly came to consciousness, trying to stretch, only to find his hands were tied behind his back, curled up in a corner, with the sound of the engine in his ears, obviously indicating he was in a moving vehicle.

"What’s going on?"

Lei Zhiyun shook his head, recalling past events.

He had just finished an industry conference, had a drink with an expert from Maple Country and Lighthouse Country, then returned to the hotel room to rest for a bit.

Then, a beauty knocked at the door, asking if he needed special services.

Kidding! Am I that kind of person?

Afraid of being caught in an Immortal Jump or a sting operation, Lei Zhiyun resisted the urge, rejected the blonde beauty who looked somewhat like Amber Heard, and turned to get his phone, after all, being abroad, there were still some websites he could view.

As soon as he finished declining, just when he was about to close the door, the beauty staggered forward against him, and all he felt was softness and a pleasant perfume scent before seemingly remembering nothing thereafter.

What the hell? I’ve been kidnapped!

What the hell? I didn’t even get a clear feel, and I’ve taken a huge loss!

Snapping back to reality, Lei Zhiyun reacted instantly, making a slight movement that drew the attention of several people in the vehicle.

Two other unlucky fellows, tied up just like himself, still in a coma, and three others in civilian clothes in the compartment, one of whom was the blonde beauty with her hair in a ponytail.

Lei Zhiyun turned his head; he recognized the two unlucky fellows, both fellow countrymen at the conference, people he once knew from a certain project group.

With Lei Zhiyun’s movement, the drug’s effect seemed to reach the other two, who subsequently awakened, paused briefly, exchanged glances, and immediately grasped the situation.

"Mr. Lei, Mr. Wang, Mr. Qi."

A middle-aged white man saw all three awaken sequentially, moved a chair, turned, sat in front of them, slightly chuckled, and casually commented, "Our drug is quite well-calibrated, the time difference for your awakening is less than a minute. How did you sleep?"

No one answered, instantaneous awkward silence.

The middle-aged man shrugged, "OK, it seems you three lack a sense of humor, what a pity."

"What the hell! You kidnapped us, and you’re talking nonsense about a sense of humor!" the most temperamental Wang Zhiyi angrily shouted.

"No, no, no, this is merely a friendly invitation," the middle-aged man smiled slightly, "as long as you cooperate, once the matter is settled, I can treat you to a cup of coffee, and perhaps a visit to Niagara Falls."

"If we don’t cooperate? Will you eliminate us?" asked the eldest, Qi Yong.

"I trust you’ll cooperate," the middle-aged man chuckled, "I think you know why I invited you here, we mean no harm, just want a little commercial information, causing minimal damage. You are technical experts, you know I’m telling the truth."

Lei Zhiyun and the others sneered in unison.

What’s the truth, yet heaven knows how much loss and subsequent impact this commercial information might cause?

A little commercial information? If it were that simple, would it require the kidnapping of three electronic information experts?

The blonde beauty approached the middle-aged man with a laptop; he reached for it, now facing the three, "No hurry, we still have some time, twenty minutes before reaching the destination, where a full set of interrogation equipment awaits."

Interrogation equipment...

Lei Zhiyun couldn’t help swallowing hard, realizing Wang Zhiyi and Qi Yong beside him were doing the same.

They were ordinary people, with all skills focused on programming development, the espionage and spy tech tree remained unlit!

Thinking of the brutal interrogation scenes depicted in films, the pain-fearing Lei Zhiyun trio naturally felt uneasy.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, fingers tapping on the laptop for a while, "Of course, should you cooperate, those painful yet non-lethal devices naturally won’t find you, and there’ll be generous rewards."

He turned the laptop, displaying a bank account with a balance of thirty million euros, "UBS, anonymous account, ten million euros per person, withdrawable or transferable anytime."

Because the matter required three collaborating individuals, splitting the interrogation or incentives proved unnecessary, hence the middle-aged man’s straightforwardness.

"Moreover, if you wish, you could receive green cards for Lighthouse Country anytime, with a company ready to offer you a satisfying price to enjoy a life of democracy and freedom in Lighthouse Country."

He rotated the laptop back, closed it, smiled slightly, "A millionaire, I envy you all, I believe many beauties will be drawn to you."

As his words settled, the blonde beauty behind him winked at the trio.

"No hurry, we’ve got time, and if inclined, you can even experience our professional interrogation equipment," the middle-aged man smiled slightly, his tone weirdly full of enjoyment.

Pervert!

Damn it, Lei Zhiyun groaned, better an Immortal Jump or sting operation!

What to do, now at the mercy of others, one side meant money and beauties, the other torture and interrogation, Lei Zhiyun and the others panicked profoundly, with the car nearing "the place," their anxiety mounted, every deceleration made their hearts race.

The trio’s breathing grew heavier.

"Damn, used to watch this stuff in movies and TV series, now it’s my turn to experience it. I want to see if I can withstand it," Wang Zhiyi gritted his teeth, speaking harshly.

Because cooperation from all three was essential, theoretically, if Wang Zhiyi remained silent, even if Lei Zhiyun and Qi Yong confessed, they would avoid the flesh wounds.

But the problem was, if all three thought alike, the opponent could easily reap the benefits.

Wang Zhiyi’s words aimed to ease their minds, to shoulder the stress.

However...

Lei Zhiyun shook his head, "You have no experience, let me do it. I was once targeted by the Japanese, got experience."

Qi Yong sighed, "I’m older, a bit numb, might hold out longer. Hope they might spare us once receiving nothing instead of outright elimination..."
