A group of individuals also released a substance towards the women's faces on the seventh green at Brocket Hall, Herts in UK.

In court, Prosecutor Russell Pyne stated that Dylan Huang allegedly kicked the car door and was threatened with a knife, with the implication of being killed.

Huang, who is in his 30s, was restrained and transported to a location in Surrey, where he was later put in a cage.

According to Pyne, he was questioned about the means of payment for a ransom, with the demand being $15 million in Bitcoin. According to his statement, he claimed to possess stock and shares that were not immediately accessible.

He had a phone conversation with his wife and spoke to three friends about borrowing money, according to Daily Mail.

After several hours, it appeared that the kidnappers were becoming increasingly frustrated. He was subjected to physical assault, with his leg being repeatedly struck by an object.

According to court testimony, the 30-hour ordeal came to an abrupt conclusion when he was released in the area of Cobham.

A kind gesture was made when he approached a stranger's door and generously provided the man with $127 for an Uber ride to his residence in North London.

Surveillance footage revealed that the defendant was traveling in an Audi Q5, which was observed in close proximity to the vehicle that Mr. Huang had been transported in.

According to Pyne, six additional suspects are currently located in China and are beyond the reach of UK jurisdiction.

The prosecution's opening statement is set to continue.
