In the helicopter, Charlie and Shen Kun were scanning the forest below with binoculars, searching for traces of Zhao Jun and the others. After taking stock, they discovered that besides Tang Hao'er, Cheng Zhengxiong had also managed to escape, which made them both quite furious.
Among those who signed up for the survival game from China, the most valuable individuals were Cheng Zhengxiong, Tang Hao'er, and Yang Bing.
In fact, there were many wealthy families among these Rich Young Masters that surpassed Yang Bing's wealth. However, that was a completely different concept; having money at home did not necessarily mean they would be willing to part with large sums of cash to ransom their children, especially those who had more than one child. Yang Bing was different; all his money was earned by himself. While others paid ransoms to save their children, he was paying to save his own life. Charlie and Shen Kun believed that no matter how much ransom they demanded from Yang Bing, as long as he could afford it, he would undoubtedly spend the money without hesitation to buy his life. Thus, after Shangdao, Shen Kun had given Yang Bing special treatment by providing him with a private room.
Charlie and Shen Kun had already planned that each of these three individuals would require a ransom of at least one hundred million dollars. However, just after Shangdao, two had escaped and one was injured. If Shen Kun hadn't intervened earlier, an enraged Charlie would have shot the two men firing from the Watchtower in a fit of rage.
Charlie was not someone to be trifled with; he had previously made a living as a pirate, commanding a crew of thirty to forty ruthless outlaws who had committed countless crimes. To this day, Charlie's name still appeared on international wanted lists.
However, ever since Shen Kun joined Charlie's organization as a strategist, the notorious pirate group had mysteriously vanished from public view within less than a year. While people celebrated this disappearance, they failed to notice the quiet emergence of an international travel agency registered as LL.
The LL International Travel Agency was essentially a front for Charlie's pirate organization. Their first planned event was this 'Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner' Survival Activity. Undoubtedly, their initial step in organizing this event had been highly successful; aside from the five who temporarily escaped—Zhao Jun included—nearly three hundred others were now under their control. Naturally, their next step was to demand hefty ransoms from these individuals' families.
If they combined the assets of these three hundred hostages' families, it would likely amount to the annual GDP of a medium-sized country. Just thinking about such an enormous sum made these bandits smile even in their sleep.
Of course, Zhao Jun was not included among these three hundred hostages; he was entirely an accident. If it hadn't been for Li Wei's girlfriend Jiang Rui withdrawing at the last minute, Zhao Jun wouldn't have qualified for their luxurious lineup of 'meat tickets' even with his eighteen thousand registration fee.
Charlie continued searching through the forest with his binoculars while cursing and directing the helicopter pilot: "Fly towards the mountain; they must be running up there."
Shen Kun observed through his binoculars and chuckled: "Boss, even if they run, where can they go? It's such a big island; they definitely can't escape it. Heh heh, these pampered young masters will be so spoiled that I guarantee they'll be hungry enough to come out and surrender to us within three days."
Charlie lowered his binoculars and smiled at Shen Kun: "Shen, I've noticed you have quite a disdain for wealthy people."
Shen Kun let out a chuckle and set down the binoculars, looking at Charlie. "I don't hate rich people; I just hate that I'm not one of them."
Charlie laughed heartily and patted Shen Kun on the shoulder. "Shen, after this job, you'll have at least a hundred million dollars. By then, you'll be a rich man too."
Shen Kun smirked slightly and raised the binoculars again to scan the forest below.
When I have a hundred million dollars, I’ll go find that damn bitch. But by then, should I smash her and that rich kid who stole her from me with bundles of cash, or should I use some means to make them bankrupt and homeless?
At that moment, a pirate holding an Assault Rifle and leaning against the cabin door suddenly shouted at Charlie and Shen Kun, "Boss, look over there!"
Following the direction of the pirate's finger, both Charlie and Shen Kun spotted a flash of red in the forest not far away. Charlie quickly slapped the pilot on the shoulder and shouted, "Fly over there."
The helicopter turned in mid-air and flew toward the spot Charlie had pointed out, quickly reaching the area above the forest where they had noticed something unusual.
Through the sparse branches and leaves, those on the helicopter saw a figure darting through the trees. Charlie laughed as he raised his Assault Rifle and fired several shots at a spot far from the figure. Seeing it startled and change direction into the depths of the forest, Charlie commanded several pirates on board with a grin, "You guys go down and catch him alive. Don't shoot."
Shen Kun kept his binoculars trained on that elusive figure in the woods, a sinister smile creeping onto his lips. "He's worthless; just a teacher—one of those temporary substitutes Li Wei brought along when he fled. Killing him wouldn’t matter. Just make sure you don’t hurt any of the others, especially Cheng Zhengxiong and Tang Hao'er; each of them is worth at least a hundred million dollars."
The pirate who first spotted the figure chuckled. "Don't worry, Shen. When we get down there, we'll be polite with them. We’ve got good food and drink prepared back at camp; we're just here to invite them to feast."
The pirates on board burst into laughter as the helicopter circled around nearby, searching for an area with relatively sparse trees before dropping a rope from the cabin.
Four pirates grabbed hold of the rope dangling from the helicopter and swiftly slid down to the ground as if it were nothing.
The Mountain Forest Area had no flat ground suitable for helicopter landings, but this posed no challenge for the seasoned pirates who had weathered countless storms. For them, descending quickly from a helicopter was far easier than climbing up a cargo ship with ropes.
Four pirates swiftly descended from the helicopter into the forest, casually waving at the aircraft as they hurriedly brandished their Assault Rifles and dashed toward the area where the figure had just vanished, too lazy to even disengage the safety on their weapons.
In their eyes, capturing a few defenseless Rich Young Masters was likely no more difficult than catching a chicken.
The helicopter circled back over the forest where Zhao Jun had disappeared, hovering and searching for any sign of him.
On the ground, the four bandits occasionally glanced up at the helicopter's direction, sprinting through the woods like hunting dogs.
Zhao Jun pressed himself against a small crevice in the rocks, clutching a fist-sized stone. His expression was tense as he watched the four bandits running toward him from a distance, his clothes already soaked with cold sweat.
