Dai Li couldn't escape, and he couldn't call for help . He was like a cat on hot bricks, not knowing what to do .

The kidnappers outside swore at Dai Li incessantly, and some angry guys even kicked the door hard, but it didn't help . The steel door was really strong . The kidnappers outside didn't know what to do either .

Minutes later, Leon finally arrived .

"Boss, he is inside, but he locked the door and we can't get in," one of them said .

"Didn't you try breaking the door?" Leon asked angrily .

"We tried, but the door is too strong . We even shot the door," said the man, pointing at the dents the bullets had gouged into the door .

Leon looked at the scratches on the door . The door was strong indeed . The bullets couldn't penetrate it, but only left marks on its surface .

Leon was unhappy with this, and he was getting angry again . He banged on the door heavily and shouted at Dai Li, "Hey, you . Open the door immediately, and you'll receive a quick death . Otherwise . . . "

Dai Li interrupted him . "Idiot! I still have to die even if I open the door . Why should I open it then? Even if you want to trick me into opening the door, you are not sincere enough!"

Leon suddenly felt a little awkward . He wanted to make some caustic remarks, but Dai Li had ridiculed him instead .

Dai Li continued to shout out the door, "Three of your men are still in my hands . Believe me or not, I'll kill them!"

"Do as you like! Three idiots . Since they couldn't deal with you, what do I want from them?" Leon snorted .

The answer was just as Dai Li expected . They were kidnappers, and it was definitely useless to threaten them with their accomplices' lives . As was shown in movies and TV series, villains never cared about the lives of their partners .

I guess I should find other ways . Dai Li sat down hopelessly, leaning against the wall .

At that moment, a faint voice became audible .

"Help, help . . . "

. . .

"How could this door be so strong!" Leon kicked the door angrily .

"Boss, this room was a chemistry laboratory before, so it was specially designed . There were no windows to prevent the chemical reagents from being changed by sunlight . The door was specially designed too . It was reinforced for fear that someone would steal the research results," said one of Leon's men .

"So how should we open the door?" asked Leon .

"We have to use a cutting machine, like the one firefighters use to cut open car . But we don't have that here," said the man .

"Then go and get one right now!" Leon roared at that man .

That man s.h.i.+vered with fear and turned away immediately .

Blecher was also anxious . He had thought everything would be alright when he caught Dai Li, but he hadn't expected Dai Li to almost escape .

"Leon, is everything alright?" asked Blecher in a low voice .

"Mr . Blecher, don't worry . There are no windows in the room, and the door is the only way out . He can't escape," said Leon confidently .

Blecher nodded, but the next second, a terrible thought occurred to him .

"But if he calls the police, what should we do? He has caught your men . Your men should have cell phones, right?" Blecher asked with trepidation .

"Call the police? Mr . Blecher, you can try calling 911!" said Leon with a smile .

Blecher took out his cell phone and found it had no signal .

"The cell phone has no signal . What's wrong? You did this?" asked Blecher .

Leon nodded with a sneer on his face . "I blocked the cell phone signal of the whole building, so you can't get a call in or out . More than that, we also blocked the satellite positioning signals of GPS, so you lose your connection to GPS as soon as you enter this building . "

Blecher took a deep breath and commended him, "You're really prescient . "

Leon explained, "People we kidnap will do everything they can to call the police, so the police can track us through the positioning of the phone . In addition to cell phones, many electronic products now contain GPS positioning systems, which is a big risk for us . Therefore, I installed a signal jammer to block cell phones and GPS positioning systems in this whole building . "

"I'm relieved now . " Blecher was becoming considerably calmer .

"Mr . Blecher, let me deal with it . You go and have a rest first . When my men find the cutting machine and cut the door open, we'll be able to pry his mouth open!"

. . .

"Help, help!" came the faint voice again .

Dai Li was startled by the sound and instinctively pointed his gun in the direction of the voice, only to find that the b.l.o.o.d.y man had raised his head .

He is alive! Putting the gun down, Dai Li walked over to him .

"Could you give me some water?" asked the b.l.o.o.d.y man . His voice was still weak .

Dai Li looked around and found several pop-top cans on the table, two of which had not been opened yet . They were both beer, left by the kidnappers .

"No water here . Just beer . Make do with it . " Dai Li immediately opened one beer and gave it to the b.l.o.o.d.y man .

The b.l.o.o.d.y man drank the beer and regained some strength . "They tied me up too . Could you help to untie me?"

Dai Li took the knife and cut the rope . The b.l.o.o.d.y man tried to move, but he seemed to be in great pain, as if moving stretched the wounds on his body .

"Are you alright?" asked Dai Li .

"Better than I thought . Just skin traumas," said the b.l.o.o.d.y man . "I need something to bandage my wounds . "

Dai Li searched the room again and found a roll of bandage and a morphine ampule in the interlayer of Santos' leather case .

He hesitated for a moment and handed the morphine ampule to the b.l.o.o.d.y man . "You may need this now . "

"Oh, thank G.o.d . " The man took the morphine ampule and injected himself expertly .

Soon it worked and the b.l.o.o.d.y man was no longer as weak as before .

Dai Li took up the medical tape and started to bandage his wounds . At the same time, he asked, "Why did they bring you here?"

"Oh, I almost forget to introduce myself . I'm an investigative journalist . My name's Edward Snow . " He paused and went on, "Thank you for saving me, Coach Li . "

"You know me?" Dai Li didn't expect to meet an acquaintance when he was kidnapped .
