The Red Demon Country's geographical position in Europe is quite favorable, yet it has never gained much presence. Compared to England, Germany, and France, this country's recognition is very low, and many people don't know about it. Even if they have heard of its name, they know very little about it.
Chen Feng wasn't very familiar with this country either and had only crammed some relevant knowledge in the past couple of days.
Anna, on the other hand, was quite familiar with it. As a French native, she is the neighbor of the Red Demon Country, and she had traveled there a few times before.
Moreover, since one of the official languages here is French and they are both EU members, she doesn't need a visa to travel here. For her, coming here is as convenient as traveling to her own country.
After the three of them got off the plane, they exited the airport and Anna smoothly used French to hail a taxi. After a brief conversation with the driver, they successfully arrived at a luxury hotel and booked two rooms.
Chen Feng and Qin Zhen shared a double room, while Anna had a single room to herself.
Due to the time difference, it was around midnight here, and there was still some time before the deadline set by the kidnappers. After checking into their rooms, Chen Feng first called Jin Xinyan to report his safety, then took a shower, and went to bed to adjust to the time difference.
They both slept until eight in the morning local time, woken by their preset phone alarms.
They are quite disciplined, especially considering their mission to save someone. As soon as the alarm went off, they both got out of bed without lounging around.
"Damn! When did you get such a good physique?"
Qin Zhen was a bit surprised and questioned seeing a shirtless Chen Feng.
Chen Feng's weight had dropped to around one hundred fifty. His body fat percentage had clearly decreased, and his beer belly was not so obvious anymore, even revealing faint outlines of abs.
Had Chen Feng not been shirtless, Qin Zhen wouldn't have known this fat guy managed to slim down successfully.
When Chen Feng is wearing clothes, he still looks a bit chubby on the outside, but without them, it's clear he's not fat but muscular.
However, compared to Qin Zhen, Chen Feng's physique still has a long way to go. Qin Zhen's body was truly all muscle, the type that looks lean in clothes and muscular without, making men jealous and women drool.
No wonder he had a great romantic streak, with many women drawn in by his physique alone.
Chen Feng glanced at him enviously and retorted, "I've been working out and losing weight for a while now, isn't it normal that I've slimmed down?"
"Alright, I'll give it to you, you've got persistence."
Qin Zhen shrugged and said no more.
They both quickly went to wash up, and Chen Feng contacted Anna, who was already up and having breakfast.
Chen Feng and Qin Zhen went to join her, and after quickly finishing breakfast, the three headed to the Rabbit Country's embassy here.
Qin Zhen had already made prior arrangements with the embassy. Being a government official, once his identity was verified, he was allowed in.
Chen Feng and Anna waited at the entrance.
"What's your plan next? You're not planning to report to the police here and let the Red Demon Country's police rescue the person, are you?"
Passing time, Anna asked Chen Feng out of curiosity.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng chose not to hide his intentions, saying, "I hope to get help from the embassy here, preferably with armed support. That way our personal safety can be guaranteed. Then, I'll contact the kidnappers and try to make them release the hostage first."
"How will you try?" Anna continued to ask.
Chen Feng could only reply, "I'll contact them first, then deal with whatever arises."
After waiting for about half an hour, a business vehicle emerged from the embassy with Qin Zhen seated in the front passenger seat. Aside from him, there were two embassy staff members, both seemingly young, around their late twenties or early thirties, exuding a sharp aura.
After Chen Feng and Anna got into the car, Qin Zhen didn't introduce the two in detail, and they didn't seem acquainted with him. Only the one seated in the middle slightly nodded at Chen Feng as a greeting.
Chen Feng naturally didn't mind, directly taking out his phone to call Jin Xinyan.
At that time, it was around two or three in the afternoon where she was, and Jin Xinyan had been waiting anxiously.
Indeed, the phone rang only a few times before it was picked up.
"Brother Feng, should I contact them now?"
Chen Feng glanced at the time displayed on his phone, which was about nine o'clock, and said, "Yes, contact them now. Tell them I'm in Brussels and that they should bring your father to the European Headquarters building for confirmation of his safety before we can send them the remaining Bitcoin. Otherwise, we absolutely won't transfer more Bitcoin."
"Alright, I'll contact them right away."
This was something the two had agreed upon the previous day.
Jin Xinyan quickly sent a message to her father's former phone, and soon a reply steeped in anger and threat came back: [Do you want us to kill your father? We will give you five minutes to transfer at least 10 more Bitcoins, otherwise I'll cut off one of your father's fingers. Our words are solid.]
When Jin Xinyan saw this message, she was immediately terrified and in a panic. She called Chen Feng right away, her voice choked with sobs, "Brother Feng, what should we do now? If we don't comply, they'll definitely follow through and cut my dad's finger!"
"Alright, don't worry, leave the rest to me. Just wait for my good news."
After saying this, Chen Feng hung up the phone and looked at the embassy worker in his late twenties seated in the middle row.
He was operating a laptop and, after a short time, he said, "The target is in a district five kilometers away. I'll send the specific location to your phone."
It turned out that he was tracking Jin Yongnian's phone signal. When the phone is on standby, it's relatively challenging to locate, but during a call, while sending a message, or when connected to WiFi, it's relatively easier to track.
Chen Feng had just asked Jin Xinyan to send a message to make them reply, thus facilitating the location tracking.
Chen Feng himself wasn't knowledgeable about this; it was Qin Zhen who had told him.
Since the location was confirmed, the vehicle immediately started heading towards it.
At the same time, Chen Feng couldn't truly provoke those kidnappers, so he promptly transferred 5 Bitcoins to their account from his phone and then sent a message to Jin Yongnian's phone.
[I am the boyfriend of Jin Yongnian's daughter. I am already in Brussels, and I hope you will keep your word, releasing Jin Yongnian after receiving the ransom.]
