Hearing the cries for help coming from the phone, Old Bryan's hair stood on end.
He immediately said, " Kim! Take a deep breath! Take a deep breath, baby!"
Then, Kim long inhale and exhale came from the phone.
"I'm okay, Daddy!"
Old Bryan, holding his phone and suppressing his anxiety, rubbed his forehead and asked, " Kim, where are you now? What happened?"
Kim lowered his voice and said quickly, "Daddy, I'm at the Saint Mafei Hotel in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris. A group of people just broke into the hotel, they..."
Just then, Kim suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no! Those people have broken into Amanda's room!"
Amanda's screams could be faintly heard from the phone. " David! Help me! David!!!"
"Sorry, Amanda ~" David, the blond-haired Columbia University, said with a grin, "There's another girl in room 3-13, they're together."
A cold voice rang out. "This time, the reward~"
"Wow! Thank you! I love working with you guys because the way you pay is so cool!" David said happily. "See you next time, Bourne ~"
"Fuck you, David!" Amanda screamed desperately, "No, let me go! I'm United States citizen, let me go!!!"
The cold voice rang out again, this time tinged with displeasure. "Gag her!"
Kim covered his mouth in horror, his panicked voice becoming muffled. "Oh my god! They've kidnapped Amanda!"
Old Bryan: "Don't panic, Kim! Where are you in the room right now?!"
"Bathroom, Daddy!"
"Get out of there right now!" Old Bryan said immediately, turning and running quickly toward the TV cabinet.
"The bathroom is too obvious, and there's nowhere to hide!"
"Go to the bedroom and hide under the bed!" He opened the closet door and took out a black box.
Just then, Kim's startled voice came through the phone. "Daddy! They're coming this way!"
Old Bryan immediately shouted, "Get under the bed, Kim!"
He quickly entered the password, opened the box, and found several stacks of US dollars, a pistol, and a stack of passports inside.
Old Bryan's gaze swept over these items, and he took out a recording device from the corner of the box.
He quickly connected the data cable to his phone.
"I'm in the bedroom, Daddy! I've hidden under the bed!" Kim said nervously. "And what do I do now?"
Old Bryan turned on the recording device and calmly asked, " Kim, who did you encounter after you got off the plane?"
"We met a man named David in the airport lobby!"
" David? You know him?"
"No, I don't know him, but Amanda seems to have fallen for him at first sight!"
"Is David American?"
"No, he said he's a native of Paris!"
"And then what happened?"
"We took a taxi with him, and he took us to this Saint Mafei Hotel."
Why aren't you and Amanda in the same guest room?
"It's Amanda! She... she wants to talk to David more..."
A flash of anger crossed Old Bryan's face.
Just then, there was a knock on the door from my phone.
'Bang bang bang~'
Hello, room service~
The English accent sounds slightly odd...
"Daddy, they're here! They're knocking on the door!" Kim cried out in a panic.
Old Bryan immediately said, "Calm down, Kim, calm down!"
He crouched in front of the recording equipment, trying to remain calm as he said, "That Saint Mafei Hotel is very likely involved with those intruders, and the David you met might be one of their associates!"
"They'll find you soon, so don't resist too much, baby! Don't provoke them!"
"Yes, Daddy!"
"You have 5 to 10 seconds to observe them as they spot and seize you..."
Old Bryan took a deep breath and said, "Focus your attention and find out their physical characteristics as quickly as possible!"
'Bang!'
A loud bang came from the phone, clearly indicating that the door had been violently broken open, followed by the sound of something being ransacked.
Kim immediately lowered his voice and said, "Daddy, they've broken in! They're looking for me!"
Old Bryan said urgently, "Remember their approximate age, height, weight, hair color, tattoos, and scars, etc."
'Okay... okay, Daddy!' Kim's voice trembled; she was clearly shaking with fear.
Just then, with a creak, the sound of the door being opened was clearly audible.
Kim stopped breathing immediately; she nervously covered her mouth and held her breath.
'Knock knock knock~'
The footsteps circled the bedroom once and then quickly disappeared.
Kim assumed they had left, so he lowered his hand from his mouth and carefully exhaled.
"Daddy, they should have left already..."
But the next second, a mocking voice rang out.
"Seraphim! Found you, little darling!"
"Ah! Daddy!!!" Kim screamed in terror, his voice quickly fading into the distance.
As Old Bryan heard his precious daughter scream in terror, a chilling murderous intent instantly flashed in his eyes, which he had been trying to keep calm.
He focused his mind, slowing his breathing, as if waiting for something...
Immediately afterward, Kim rattled off a long string of characters at lightning speed. "He has a beard! Six feet tall! He has a moon and star tattoo on his right hand!"
"No! Daddy, save me!!!"
Kim's voice abruptly stopped.
" Kim!" Old Bryan listened to his daughter's cries for help, his heart breaking. He took a deep breath and continued to wait...
Soon, someone crawled under the bed and picked up the phone.
Old Bryan immediately picked up the phone and said:
"I don't know who you are..."
"I don't want to know who you are!"
"Whatever your motives, don't hurt my daughter!"
He stood up as he spoke.
"If you need a ransom, name your amount, and I will try my best to raise it!"
"But listen!"
"If my daughter gets hurt in any way..."
The Wrath he had been suppressing inside him erupted instantly.
"I'll show you what it costs to anger a veteran agent who's been around for decades!"
"Agent?!" A man's voice came from the phone, asking jokingly, "CIA? NSA? FBI?"
Old Bryan sensed the other man's indifference. He narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Throughout my long career, I've learned many special methods..."
"Firearms! Hand-to-hand combat! Reconnaissance!"
"Disguise! Raid! Interrogation!"
"I often face one-on-one or one-on-many battles!"
"If you release my daughter, then this matter will end here!"
"I won't contact you, and I won't investigate you..."
"But if you don't stop here, I will find you..."
"Then I'll kill you all..."
'...'
The phone remained silent for a few seconds before a nonchalant voice came through.
Good luck!
"Beep~"
