Chapter: 4863

The young man smiled and said, "You're this kind of person, you're a standard optimist, able to adapt quickly wherever you go."

"Ah." Ye Chen nodded slightly, smiling. "I've spent many years living like this, I wouldn't say I'm familiar with all sorts of things, but at least I can remain calm and composed in the face of adversity."

The young man held up his index finger, praising him. "I wish I could be as carefree as you are."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced out into the distance, and when he looked into the distant wilderness, a faint expression appeared on his face.

Then, without realizing it, he took out his phone and fiddled with it for a moment, looking increasingly serious, even a bit anxious.

Ye Chen noticed the change in the young man's expression and saw him carefully sizing up that Mexican driver, thinking to himself: "This young man can't possibly have discovered something?"

Just as he was thinking this, the young man took out his phone, pressed it a few times, and handed it to Ye Chen, smiling. "Old brother, take a look at my son's photo, isn't he handsome?"

Ye Chen looked down to see that there were no photos on the screen of the phone he had been handed, but rather a line of text: "Old brother, this kid is trouble! We might have been deceived!"

As he saw the text on Lang Hongjun's phone, Ye Chen was taken aback.

He hadn't expected Lang Hongjun to have figured out the problem so quickly.

So, he took over the phone and typed away while whispering to himself, "Hey, old brother, your kid doesn't look a bit like you at all. He's way more handsome than you!"

As they spoke, he typed a line on the phone: "Old brother, what's the problem?"

He then handed the phone back to Lang Hongjun.

Lang Hongjun took over the phone and laughed, saying, "My kid looks just like his mom. I'm telling you, don't look at me; my wife is really beautiful when she was young. Wait a minute, let me find some photos of her from back then!"

As he spoke, he was typing away on the phone, muttering to himself, "Hey, there are too many photos on my phone - over 20,000 of them! It's a real pain to find what I need."

After a while, he handed the phone back to Ye Chen, saying, "Take a look at this. This is a photo from our wedding day. Back then, we didn't have any photo editing software or apps like that."

Ye Chen took over the phone and saw that it was filled with text: "Old brother, the kid who drives said there's no signal here, but I just saw a cell tower about a kilometer or two outside in the open field. Although it looks blurry, as someone in the telecommunications industry, I can recognize what kind of tower it is at a glance. According to reason, even if the equipment on an old base station were outdated, it's impossible for there to be no signal just because it's one or two kilometers away, especially since there are no obstacles around here and the signal should cover everything. So, I think this is definitely fishy!"

As he spoke, his fingers flew across the keyboard: "Could that signal tower be faulty? It's normal for these kinds of places to have outdated signal towers, right?"

Liang Hongjun took over the phone, typing away as he said, "By the way, I have a little daughter who looks just like my wife. Let me find some photos to show you."

As they talked, Liang Hongjun typed out another line: "At first, I thought so too, but I just checked the navigation software and found that it couldn't even detect satellite signals. That's even more suspicious! Even if Mexico has poor infrastructure or that signal tower is actually faulty, the satellites won't be, GPS uses over 24 satellites simultaneously working on six orbital planes. Even in a deserted area like Mexico, you should still be able to receive satellite signals, but my phone can't detect any of them now. This proves that there must be some kind of shielding equipment on the car that's blocking both communication signals and satellite signals!"

Ye Chen's eyes widened as he read this: "As expected, the shielding device installed by the other party just happens to affect Liang Hongjun's area of expertise in telecommunications, so he immediately sensed something was off. However, it's also clear that Liang Hongjun is a smart person."

Ye Chen was worried that Liang Hongjun might take rash action and quickly typed out a response on his phone: "Old brother, don't do anything reckless just yet! Let's take a look first."

Liang Hongjun panicked and started typing away again, responding: "Old brother, we can't delay any further! We have to figure out how to escape now. If we wait until we get there, we'll only be at the mercy of those people!"

Ye Chen typed back: "We can't just jump out of the car and escape? The car is moving so fast, and even if we managed to jump out without getting killed, the old guy driving would still have a gun. Even if we didn't get hit by the bullet, he'd just shoot us again."

Liang Hongjun responded: "But once we arrive at their territory, our chances of escape will be even lower! At that point, it'll just be a matter of being at their mercy?" JrNovels.com
