After a night of sleep, Duke woke up and found that it was already past eight o'clock the next morning, and the sun was shining brightly outside. Under the blue sky, the boundless Indian Ocean seemed particularly quiet and deep today.

"Boss, good morning, breakfast is ready," Duke walked out of the cabin door, and Xie Yunfeng walked over and greeted with a smile. "We have now entered the target sea area, less than a hundred kilometers away from the designated desert island. Captain Qu and his team have sent planes to reconnaise, and found no suspicious signs."

There is no suspicious phenomenon, that is, there is no conspiracy in this kidnapping case. Duke finally heard good news. If this is the case, then what is left today is just a bargaining.

If the kidnappers' ransom request is small, Duke plans to give it to them directly. If it is a lion, I'm sorry. Although Duke will still agree to Dong Feng's safety, such a huge transaction will inevitably leave many traces in the middle. Duke will follow these traces to find the mastermind behind the scenes.

Just like the boss of the Li family back then, I can give you money with pleasure, but whether you have the money to spend it or not is another matter, and it is not too late to settle the accounts after autumn.

Duke nodded and said that he knew the situation. He walked into the restaurant on the yacht and in his own special dining position, he had prepared foods such as fried eggs and milk cakes that he liked to eat.

Before Duke finished his breakfast, Xie Yunfeng rushed in.

"Boss, Captain Qu and the others have discovered it." Xie Yunfeng said excitedly, "A speedboat is parked next to a deserted island more than 40 kilometers north of us. According to preliminary analysis, it is very likely that it is the negotiation kidnapper."

After hearing this news, Duke accelerated the meal, finished his breakfast voraciously, wiped his mouth and asked, "Are the negotiation contact equipment ready?" According to the previous agreement of the kidnappers, after they arrived at the target waters this time, they will negotiate with the same frequency through the same radio intercom.

Duke was worried about the kidnappers' conspiracy, and the kidnappers seemed to be afraid of Duke and the others' measures, so they required that the distance between the two sides should not exceed ten kilometers during negotiations. At this distance, except for super abnormal things such as anti-ship missiles, basically most conventional weapons cannot endanger each other's safety.

However, killing weapons like anti-ship missiles are definitely not something that ordinary people can obtain. Even underground arms are extremely difficult to obtain, not to mention that this thing needs special professionals to use.

In the captain's cockpit, Qu Feng, Gao Weilie and Sovaz are studying the current situation together. "From the appearance we have obtained now, this speedboat looks very much like a retired speedboat of A San. It is about 49 meters long, about 7.5 meters wide, with a displacement of 320 tons, and a maximum speed of 35 knots. It uses water jet propulsion and has good maneuverability. The main weapon is a 30mm machine gun."

Qu Feng knew everything about the ships of neighboring countries and soon inferred some deep-seated information about the opponent from the information obtained by current reconnaissance.

"So from the perspective of firepower, this speedboat does not pose a great threat to us." Gao Weilie frowned after listening to Qu Feng's introduction. "It's just that Ah San's control of retired warships is quite strict. How could such a thing fall into the hands of the kidnappers? It's really strange."

The entire kidnapping case has progressed to the present moment. Qu Feng and the others vaguely felt the outline of a conspiracy, but several places are now looming, so it is very puzzling.

"Don't think so much. Since we have just found such a speedboat nearby, although it is also dangerous for us, as long as we cheer up, it will not have a chance to get close to us. Even though its speed is faster than that of a yacht, we have two half-armed helicopters. If there is anything, we can take the lead in launching a long-range attack. So we just need to keep a certain distance." Qu Feng said.

After hearing the two of them, Sovaz nodded, but said nothing. He just took the helm silently and continued to sail towards his destination, constantly shortening the distance with the speedboat. Anyway, it was the generals who came to block the water and soil, no matter what conspiracies he had, Duke's yacht had powerful firepower after a brief transformation. Even if the other party was a real small warship, there was no need to be afraid, let alone retired.

Suddenly, the high-power wireless communication station that was adjusted to a certain channel had been pre-opened, and the kidnappers' call suddenly came out.

"I am Kamaler. I have seen your plane. Please reply when I receive it." The speaker of the wireless communication station came over and spoke in English with a strong South Asian accent.

"Boss, Kamale is the contact person of the kidnapper who is in contact with us. Judging from the accent, this person should be Kamale himself who is in contact with me." After hearing the kidnapper's call, Xie Yunfeng explained to Duke in a low voice.

"I'm Duke, we've come as agreed." Duke took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, picked up the dialogue device and pressed the dialogue button and said. "Now let's start negotiations."

The voice paused for a while, obviously discussing something, and then the voice continued to be heard, "Is your Excellency a PhD in MIT and Dr. Duke, the owner of Sal Company?"

"Yes, I'm." Duke replied without hesitation.

"Okay, there is an island and reef not far from your right direction, and our negotiations are going on." The kidnappers suddenly proposed a new condition and asked for face-to-face negotiations. This change caught Duke and his group off guard. "Of course, in order to show our sincerity, you can send people to the island and reef for inspection first. At the same time, our negotiators will not carry weapons during negotiations."

After listening to the kidnapper's condition, Qu Feng shook his head at Duke, indicating that this condition is unacceptable. There are many islands and reefs in the waters in this area, some of which are about one square kilometer in size, and there are dense jungles on it like Duke's Rahsf Island.

There are more bare small islands and reefs with only a few hundred square meters. Judging from the aerial reconnaissance just now, there are at least dozens of them scattered.

"Mr. Du, we cannot agree to enter the preset site of the kidnappers. There are too many uncontrollable factors in this. Let's negotiate with the kidnappers. We will choose one of the nearby islands and reefs as the negotiation site. There are so many islands and reefs here, and the kidnappers should not be able to tamper with all islands and reefs. As long as we choose one, the safety will be much higher."
