Lu Xiangxiang and Liu Shangxiang were living rather comfortably.

In the distance, Mei and Lan watched the two women with frustration.

"I don’t know what they’re thinking, they are clearly hostages, with their life and death in our hands, yet they turn their hostage life into a vacation. It’s really annoying." Mei said, feeling bitter. "They’re smart, aware of their situation, but they’re still so calm, it’s really hard to understand."

"It’s fine like this, as long as they don’t cause trouble, it’s more important than anything else. We can be a bit more relaxed, if they start crying or making a fuss, it would be hard for us to handle." Lan said slowly.

"Is it really okay to let it continue like this? Watching them manage their time so precisely, with plans for meals, swimming, sea breeze, and walking on the beach. It’s infuriating, I’ve never seen hostages like this before." Mei was quite displeased with Liu Shangxiang and Lu Xiangxiang’s behavior.

"What do you want to do about it? The higher-ups have strictly ordered not to restrict the hostages’ freedom, let them roam around here freely, as long as they don’t cause trouble. We should just do our job and ignore everything else." Lan was also frustrated with the two hostages, but considering the situation, there was no other choice but to turn a blind eye.

"If it weren’t for the Seventh Elder’s orders, I’d have shown them what it really means to be a hostage." Mei said angrily.

"Out of sight, out of mind. If you can’t stand their behavior, take a break below. I’ll take care of watching them." Lan offered.

"Alright, then. You take care, I’m going back to eat something." Mei headed towards the island villa.

Lan followed Liu Shangxiang and Lu Xiangxiang from a distance, fulfilling her duty of watching over them.

On the other side of the island, the Night Cat Squad gathered, with Batu, the team leader, and two other members, Reiss and Jona.

Originally, the Night Cat Squad had five members, Shen Yaqing was the deputy leader. When Ye Fan first met Shen Yaqing in Ba Country, the Night Cat Squad faced trouble and lost a member, but thanks to Ye Fan, Batu and others, they survived.

It’s no exaggeration to say, Ye Fan saved the Night Cat Squad.

Later, Shen Yaqing followed Ye Fan back to Dongfang City, while Batu and the other members continued their old lifestyle.

By luck, Batu and the others ended up under the command of the Seventh Elder from Sky Net.

After Lu Xiangxiang and Liu Shangxiang were kidnapped, Batu and his team become responsible for the villa’s network and external video messages.

Ye Fan being Terminator was unknown to Batu and others, nor did they know about the identity of Lu Xiangxiang and Liu Shangxiang.

Only after coming to the island did Ye Fan’s identity spread.

If they had known sooner, Batu and his team might have acted differently.

"The water flooded the Dragon King’s temple, family members not recognizing each other. We’ve inadvertently helped the villain and gone against Shen Yaqing and Ye Fan, it’s our fault." Batu said to Reiss and Jona: "So, what’s our next move? Share your thoughts."

"Shen Yaqing might have left the Night Cat Squad, but she’s forever one of us." Reiss said.

"Mr. Ye saved our lives, he’s greatly important to the Night Cat Squad, we cannot side with Sky Net against Mr. Ye." Jona said affirmatively: "Captain, whatever you decide, we’ll follow you."

Batu and his team were united, without any divided loyalty. After these few days, they had learned Liu Shangxiang and Lu Xiangxiang’s true identities. They were actually Chu Mengyao’s sisters, taken as hostages to threaten Ye Fan.

Knowing this, they could no longer continue helping Sky Net. Initially, they joined Seventh Elder because he seemed decent. But now, given the circumstances, there was no need to help Sky Net anymore.

"We were unaware of Mr. Ye’s identity initially. Now that we know, we can’t work with Sky Net any longer, regardless of him being Terminator. We mustn’t be enemies with Mr. Ye. With everything happening now, it’s more reason not to go against Mr. Ye and Shen Yaqing. Thus, we need to betray Sky Net and leak the hostages’ location." Batu said.

"Captain, we’ll follow your lead. We joined Sky Net because they were powerful and pressured us. Now is the time to completely sever ties and show our value." Reiss declared.

"Leaking the hostage’s location is also a form of gratitude to Mr. Ye, we should do it responsibly." Jona affirmed.

"Alright, then I’ll inform Shen Yaqing of this and let her coordinate the rescue operation. For now, we’ll act as if nothing happened, waiting for the rescuers to contact us. We’re unaware of the outside situation, so we have to cooperate with the rescue. And to avoid suspicion from Mei and Lan, we’ll behave as usual and contact the outside secretly. The island villa’s network is under our control, they won’t discover anything we do." Batu said.

"Okay, we’ll do as the captain says." Reiss and Jona affirmed.

With that, Batu leaked the whereabouts of Liu Shangxiang and Lu Xiangxiang to Shen Yaqing.

Shen Yaqing was naturally overjoyed upon receiving this news. After chatting with Batu’s team, she quickly shared it with Mengyao.

Mengyao gathered Zhang Lu and others for a discussion before informing Ye Fan.

Upon hearing the news, Ye Fan didn’t immediately order a rescue. Instead, he instructed Zhang Lu to quietly approach the target and wait for the rescue time.

Thus, Zhang Lu and Qiu Wen moved in secret, heading to Liu Shangxiang and Lu Xiangxiang’s hiding place.

This operation was, of course, top-secret, no one else could know.

Ye Fan hadn’t anticipated this twist, having searched in vain for Lu Xiangxiang and Liu Shangxiang, yet they were revealed by Batu’s team accidentally.

Now, Ye Fan’s worries were gone.

But, he couldn’t immediately commence the rescue of Lu Xiangxiang and Liu Shangxiang; he still needed time.

Ye Fan and Fire Phoenix, along with the butcher, had planned a deadly trap. Once Sky Net fell into it, suffering heavy losses, only then could the rescue for Lu Xiangxiang and Liu Shangxiang begin, thus avoiding unnecessary risks.

At that time, the Ghost Squad and Hunting Team would be struck, and the rescue of Lu Xiangxiang would happen simultaneously.

Sky Net, even knowing the news, would be powerless.
