Sonoko thinks that escaping is dangerous.
But Lin Yi thinks exactly the opposite, he thinks that this thing is not dangerous at all.
Since the kidnappers wanted to use Sonoko as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Suzuki Group, the primary condition was to ensure that Sonoko was still alive.
With this primary condition, her personal safety would be guaranteed.
Since she wouldn't be killed, what was there to be afraid of?
Definitely being carefree!
Anyway, even if caught, she would at most be re-imprisoned.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Lin Yi gave Sonoko a reassuring look: "I will take you out of here."
Sonoko didn't say much, only nodding silently.
Her phone had been taken away, and she didn't know the current time, but judging from the sky, it should already be around eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
Nighttime was the best time to escape.
Lin Yi leaned against the door, carefully listening to the outside, faintly hearing someone talking.
However, the door was too thick, and he couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.
Sonoko quietly came to Lin Yi's side and cautiously asked: "Are you planning to... go out?"
Lin Yi nodded and said: "Yes... there are two to three people outside the door right now, and I can quickly take care of them."
Sonoko continued to ask: "And then?"
"Before the others discover us, we'll escape from this villa as quickly as possible, then get in a car and escape."
Lin Yi roughly explained his plan of action.
This plan only had a general outline, without any details, because there were too many variables in this operation, such as the number of kidnappers, whether the kidnappers had guns, whether the villa door was locked, and so on.
No details, only improvising as the situation demanded.
"Take a step back..."
Lin Yi signaled Sonoko to move back a couple of steps, to prevent her from being too close and being grabbed as a hostage.
"Okay."
Sonoko nodded obediently.
"You just wait here... I'll be back soon." Lin Yi prepared to go out and deal with these kidnappers.
"Okay... be careful."
Sonoko instructed Lin Yi: "Don't push yourself too hard."
"Don't worry, I'm very strong."
Lin Yi smiled, then quietly opened the door and walked out, slowly closing the door again.
After Lin Yi left the room, Sonoko quickly walked to the door and pressed her ear against it to listen carefully.
She didn't hear any sound.
This made Sonoko frown slightly, could it be that the guard had been taken care of?
Just as the thought occurred to her, Sonoko noticed the door being pushed open, and she quickly took two steps back.
She saw Lin Yi entering with his back to her, dragging a kidnapper in a black suit with both hands.
This stunned Sonoko, had he taken care of them so quickly? She hadn't heard anything.
After dragging in one kidnapper, Lin Yi went out again to drag in the other one.
Sonoko asked worriedly: "Did you kill them?"
"No."
Lin Yi threw the second kidnapper on the ground and said with a sigh: "I just knocked them out."
"Then... then I'll go get the rope and tie them up."
Sonoko said, quickly turning around and running to the bed to get the rope.
After she came back, she saw Lin Yi stripping off the man's clothes, and she asked: "What are you doing...?"
"This outfit is too conspicuous, it's better to change into something else."
Lin Yi pointed to his casual clothes, but in reality, having this suit would allow him to equip [Suit Thug], increasing his combat power.
"Oh... oh."
Sonoko nodded, not saying anything, and began to tie up the kidnappers' hands and feet.
"Alright, let's go."
After Lin Yi changed into the well-fitting suit, he immediately used [Suit Thug].
Time was precious, and he shouldn't waste it on those kidnappers.
"Okay."
Sonoko nodded and followed behind Lin Yi, leaving the bedroom.
"Follow behind me, pretending to be a victim."
Lin Yi walked down the corridor at a steady pace, his tone calm and powerful, without a hint of panic, as if he were the kidnapper.
"Okay."
Sonoko slowed down and walked behind Lin Yi, walking with her head down, looking like she was being taken away for interrogation.
Although the villa was a bit large, its design had a pattern to follow. As long as they could find the stairs down, it would be easy to find the exit.
Halfway down the corridor, two kidnappers suddenly walked around the corner in front. They were chatting, but stopped immediately after seeing Lin Yi and Sonoko.
They were about to open their mouths to say something, but for some reason, they paused.
One of them looked at Lin Yi, frowned, and said: "Who are you? I don't think I've seen you before?"
"I'm new here." Lin Yi said as he walked forward: "The boss just asked me to take her to see him."
"Is that so?"
The kidnapper narrowed his eyes, seemingly not believing Lin Yi. He said warily, "I'll confirm first."
As he spoke, he tugged at his collar and tilted his head.
Seeing his actions, Lin Yi knew he couldn't keep up the act. Without another word, he took off running and launched a flying kick.
The kidnapper was prepared and quickly dodged to the side.
As Lin Yi landed, another kidnapper pounced on his back, locking his neck with his hands.
Lin Yi's expression didn't change. He grabbed the kidnapper's hair and yanked hard. The kidnapper cried out in pain, and Lin Yi stomped hard on his instep, then elbowed him in the abdomen. This three-hit combo made the kidnapper scream incessantly.
Easily breaking free from the chokehold, Lin Yi turned and kicked him in the chest, sending him crashing into the wall, unconscious.
The kidnapper who had dodged Lin Yi's flying kick didn't expect Lin Yi to be so fierce. Before he could react, the other had instantly taken down one of his companions.
This made him realize that this guy was no simpleton and he couldn't handle him at all. He quickly tugged at his collar and said, "The target is escaping! Quickly come up to the second floor for backup! Come up to the second floor for backup!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yi rushed in front of him. The kidnapper still thought of resisting for a moment to buy time.
As a result, his arms were tricked by Lin Yi's feint to protect his head, leaving his abdomen defenseless. He took a kick and immediately knelt down in pain.
Lin Yi kicked his face to the side, then said to Sonoko, "We've been discovered. Let's just run."
"Oh… oh."
Sonoko knew Lin Yi had trained, but she didn't expect him to be so powerful. In a short period of time, he had taken down those two people, leaving her dazed for a moment. When she came back to her senses, Lin Yi had already walked a distance away.
Sonoko quickly jogged to catch up.
The corner was the staircase.
Just as Lin Yi was about to go down, four kidnappers came up.
Without thinking, Lin Yi jumped down directly, using his body as a weapon to crash into the group. Before the four kidnappers could react, Lin Yi had already slammed into them. The four kidnappers, like bowling pins, were knocked down with a bang, rolling down the stairs.
