At that moment, a wall-mounted intercom in the safe house suddenly lit up, followed by a man's mocking laughter and crisp clapping sounds.
For a moment, everyone in the safe house froze in place, staring at the intercom in shock.
"Someone... someone's outside?!"
Their faces lit up with excitement as they gazed at the intercom, hope flashing in their eyes.
"Is it the military? Have they come to rescue us?"
Redknapp stood up excitedly, a smug smile curling his lips. He cleared his throat, glanced condescendingly at Lin Suya and the others, then strode toward the intercom. Pressing the talk button, he spoke arrogantly, "Hello, this is Redknapp. My father is Wayne Redknapp. It's a pleasure to speak with you. Are you from the military? Which unit are you from? Who is your superior? If you can safely extract me, my family will reward you handsomely!"
Silence followed from the intercom. Everyone in the safe house stood up nervously, staring at the device, eagerly awaiting a response.
