One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire’s Sweet Love

4449 The Other Side 418

His subordinate reported to him, “The three hostages have been moved to different locations. In other words…”

Gong Jie finished the sentence for him, “This means once one of the hostages is rescued and the Sacred Temple is alerted, the other two hostages will lose their lives.”

“That’s right.”

Gong Jie furrowed his brow and tapped his fingers lightly on the table in hesitation.

Vermillion Bird said, “Is that very difficult? Identify the location of the three hostages and rescue them separately. We brought fifty elites and can divide them into three small groups to infiltrate the Sacred Temple’s hideout. Then, we will capture them all.”

Gong Jie found her suggestion feasible when he heard this. Vermillion Bird had a lot of experience in dealing with such situations, so she had excellent reaction time.

However, the subordinate sighed and revealed a worried expression. “Officer Vermillion Bird, it’s not that we haven’t thought of this idea of yours. However, we’ve been stationed in East Africa for a long time, and have dealt with the people of the Sacred Temple many times. They are definitely not as simple as you think. You may not be as familiar with the way they operate as we are. The civilians living in East Africa are most fearful, not of the government military troops or the opposition troops, but the Sacred Temple and the Gittaman Terrorist Organization. Their methods are extremely inhumane, which is something we can’t imagine. I think that once the people of the Sacred Temple know that the cargo ship of Hurricane is docked, they will attach devices to the hostages in order to prevent the mercenaries of Hurricane from rescuing them.”

The man’s expression turned serious when he heard that. “What sort of devices?”

“The handcuffs used to bind the hostages will contain explosives. These devices are connected to the Internet. In other words, the handcuffs of the three hostages are all linked. Once one of the handcuffs is broken, or the bracelet is unlocked, the handcuffs of the other two hostages will explode. At that point, the other two hostages will be blown into smithereens. We… we had a few subordinates who were captured by the Sacred Temple as hostages. We tried to rescue them, but when the handcuffs were removed, the other three hostages were instantly blown to pieces.”

Even though it was a plain description, one could still imagine how terrifying that scene was.

When Vermillion Bird heard this, she remained calm.

She was already used to such a scene.

“Linked devices?” Vermillion Bird immediately knew this device.

“I remember seeing this kind of device during my previous mission. It’s not really a high-tech method. It’s a simple principle. There are three handcuffs, a blasting point, and a linkage device. If one of the devices is opened, the other two devices will automatically switch to the blasting point and cause an explosion.”

“How do we defuse it?”

Gong Jie said, “If time is not a critical factor in the removal of the handcuffs, how about we rescue the three hostages first and find a way to deal with this device after we return to Hurricane?”

When Vermillion Bird heard this, she fell silent.

She turned around and crossed her arms. With a serious expression, she said, “So far, I’ve never seen such a linked explosive device with a solution.”

“What do you mean?”

“In other words, once these cuffs are on, there’s no getting them off. It’s impossible to defuse them with a key or cut them open with a knife.”
