Manila, abandoned construction site.

Qi Yun had a cigarette in his mouth, glancing sideways at One-Eyed Dragon crouching on the ground.

"Your turn, where are the people being held, how many guards?"

"In Niya Village! At Pat's cousin's house!" One-Eyed Dragon's face lost its defiance, stammering in response, "Besides the two of us, there are six other people!"

"Are there weapons?"

"Yes, yes, handguns."

Qi Yun stood up, eyes locked onto One-Eyed Dragon.

After a long while, he suddenly asked, "What's your name? I mean your real name."

"Huh?" One-Eyed Dragon was taken aback, "Tao... Tao Zhiqiang."

"And you?" Qi Yun turned his head towards the one with the missing tooth.

The guy with the missing tooth answered nervously, "Min Yaozu."

Qi Yun didn't move from his spot, and after a moment, his expression changed slightly before he gave them a faint smile.

The two were unnerved by his look, One-Eyed Dragon shrugged his neck, looking very afraid, "Bro... Bro, we're telling the truth, I also know what we did was despicable, but we were forced by Pat. If we didn't do it, he'd kill us..."

Qi Yun didn't listen to his nonsense any longer, telling Chen Wei, "Brother Wei, they're not being truthful, let's employ some tactics."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wei exchanged a glance with Duan Pingyu, and the two pulled One-Eyed Dragon and the one with missing teeth up from the ground, pressing onto their sides at the ribs, and started applying force.

The two instantly screamed miserably, with beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads.

The moans lasted for a minute before Qi Yun waved his hand, asking them again, "I want the truth, is anyone willing to tell me?"

The one with the missing tooth was already on the verge of passing out from the pain, gasping heavily.

One-Eyed Dragon squeezed out some words painfully through his teeth, "We... we're telling the truth..."

Qi Yun furrowed his brows and turned his back.

Seeing this, Chen Wei and Duan Pingyu resumed applying force.

This time the screams were even louder but lasted for a shorter time, less than half a minute before the two fainted from the pain.

"Continue or not?" Chen Wei asked.

Qi Yun extinguished the cigarette, looked at the time on his watch, and shook his head, "Find some rope and tie them up."

Chen Wei nodded and walked away, feeling reassured with Duan Pingyu around that those two guys wouldn't be able to harm Qi Yun.

Ten minutes later, he returned with two lengths of hemp rope, tying One-Eyed Dragon and the one with missing teeth securely.

...

France, Lyon.

In somewhat aged manor.

De Gaulle held the phone and asked his subordinate, "How's the matter going?"

A deep male voice from the other end, "By the time our men arrived, those people had already fled. I've sent all our men out to look for them, and I've already instructed the intelligence dealer that if the other side contacts him, he knows what to do."

"Okay, bring them directly to me if caught," De Gaulle's voice remained calm, not appearing to take the matter to heart.

"Understood."

...

Dawn, abandoned construction site in Manila.

After Qi Yun and the others left, One-Eyed Dragon suddenly opened his tightly shut eyes.

He tried to struggle but felt a heart-wrenching pain in his abdomen, as if his bones were cracking, and his body was tied so tightly that he couldn't move at all.

With no choice, he bit his lip, endured the pain, and forcefully rotated his hips to one side, then kicked the one with missing teeth, waking him up suddenly.

"They're gone! Find a way to untie the ropes!"

The one with missing teeth was momentarily stunned, struggling to sit up, but soon endured the same pain as One-Eyed Dragon, feeling like his ribs were hammered, moving slightly made him sweat from the pain.

The two had their hands and feet tied behind them, even their arms were bound.

Chen Wei's rope-binding skills were very professional, tying the arms to the upper body, making it impossible to use any strength.

The one with missing teeth lay on the ground, laboriously moving his body, finally making it to One-Eyed Dragon's side.

He gasped a couple of breaths, asking, "Why did you give them a fake location earlier?"

One-Eyed Dragon sneered, "Although those two are tough, I'm more afraid of Pat's ruthlessness. Do you think if Pat found out we betrayed him, what kind of outcome would be waiting for us?"

"And our money is all with Pat. Compared to dying, I'm more afraid of becoming penniless again! I believe you think the same way."

"Haha, indeed, without money, I'd rather be dead!" The one with missing teeth spat out a mouthful of saliva, turned his body, and his tied hands touched the rope on One-Eyed Dragon's hands.

But after trying for a few minutes, the knot showed no sign of loosening.

To assist the other in untying the rope, One-Eyed Dragon bent his body like a shrimp, which was very uncomfortable after maintaining that posture for a long time.

Impatiently, he urged, "Hurry up!"

"Damn it, I can't use my hands, how to hurry up!" The one with missing teeth sweat on his forehead, retorted irritably.

"Can't use your hands, then why the hell don't you try with your teeth?"

"Don't start with my teeth again!?" The one with missing teeth shouted sensitively.

...

The moon shone faintly, the countryside night was silent, except for the bugs' chirping, there was no other sound.

A sedan was driving down the small road.

"Turn left at the intersection ahead." In the car, Qi Yun on the back seat glanced at the phone map and suddenly spoke.

Chen Wei, upon hearing, also glanced down at his phone screen, "No, Niya Village is two kilometers ahead."

"People are not in Niya Village. They lied." Qi Yun turned to look out the window, "Yang Zhihao just sent me a message, saying the two captives are in Kangji Village."
