The chair under Yanran suddenly made a strange noise, and she curiously turned her head. Just as she was about to see what was going on, her legs were already tightly locked to the chair.

Greatly alarmed, she was just about to struggle to free herself from the chair when, with two "click-clack" sounds, her arms were also bound tightly by steel bars.

At the same time, as her limbs were secured and she could no longer make any movement, the continuous "click" sounds followed, and her body was firmly locked to the chair.

In that instant, Yanran’s heart sank.

This was still a trap, but this trap was so cleverly set up that even with Ba Lv’s and her insight, they hadn’t noticed.

Indeed, it was a trap, and a brilliantly designed one because it was the result of the exhaustive efforts and deliberations of several high-ranking members from Erma Planet.

These high-ranking members included Delmar, the head of Erma Planet, his good friend, and the supreme leader of the team. Of course, Shorty, the drafter of the plan outline, would not be left out, and Delmar and Shorty’s boss were responsible for finalizing it.

Thus, a near-perfect plan was produced under the scheming of these three individuals.

The dozen or so thugs sent out by them, no matter what means they used, had to provoke incidents to attract the attention of the two extraterrestrial girls, Shaowen.

As long as they took the bait, the plan would proceed step by step in succession.

Those dozen or so men posing as thugs were actually instructors from the formal team of Erma Planet; all of them were highly skilled individuals. Their impersonation as thugs was to launch an attack on Yanran and Ba Lv. If in the ensuing battle they could take down the two extraterrestrial girls, then all would be well and good, but if not, the plan would continue.

As expected, although the dozen or so instructors disguised as thugs attacked with overwhelming numbers and almost in a surprise attack mode, they still could not inflict serious damage on the two girls.

On the contrary, their poor acting and excessive force instead ignited the two girls’ fighting spirit.

This was certainly not the outcome the plot drafters had desired.

If the two extraterrestrial girls had died, it would have been best, as they could then fully concentrate on dealing with the man, but for now, the situation was that the two girls were not dead and had instead drawn their weapons, ready for a life-and-death fight.

Too fierce!

However, even this situation was within the plot drafters’ expectations.

These instructors from different squadrons were considered valuable assets and couldn’t be wasted casually.

Since they hadn’t gained any advantage facing two bare-handed opponents, now that these two girls had drawn weapons, it could be anticipated that these instructors wouldn’t be a match for them.

Even if they could defeat the two girls in front of them, the price might be too high, and to ensure seizing them with absolute certainty, rather than alerting the enemy, the commanders of the plan immediately arranged for real team members to take the field.

The team members were actual team members, and they were almost unaware beforehand. The order they received was simple: On a certain day, at a certain time, they must be at a certain place, and if they saw fighting, they must arrest everyone involved.

Just this one order, with no unnecessary rhetoric.

This phase of the plan seemed simple on the surface, but it was actually very complicated inside.

Most importantly, there was the leadership of a Lu person, who played an extremely important role during this phase of the plan.

This individual had to possess a sense of justice, at the very least not be an old slicker, and needed to have a certain amount of courage to act decisively.

Though the conditions (despite Zhao’s) seemed simple, they still had to search through their reserves to find such a person.

Initially, they hadn’t told the leader about other matters, which led to the incident where the team member shot at the thugs.

This all happened naturally and wasn’t orchestrated, so no matter how much Yanran and Ba Cao observed from the side, they couldn’t find anything unreasonable.

Then all of the fighters were arrested by the team; the members inside were indeed real. But in order to make the two extraterrestrial girls more at ease, they found an excuse to transfer a group of team members, leaving only a few older members to guard, thereby further relaxing their vigilance.

By this time, even if there were a few unreasonable points, they estimated the two girls would not care much anymore. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Sure enough, Yanran and Ba Lvluo fell for it.

Yanran and Ba Lvluo were still young, plus they lacked social experience and were inexperienced in assessing others, so they easily fell into the trap set by the few cunning individuals on Erma Planet, being firmly locked onto a specially designed chair.

The woman laughed triumphantly, looking at the immobilized Guo Ran and sneered, "Humph, the Elders are really concerned about you two, repeatedly revising the plan, afraid you would detect any flaws; yet, so it is."

She lifted Yanran’s chin fiercely and said, "Now you’re in trouble, no one can come to rescue you and your cohorts anymore!" She used her sharp nails to trace Guo Ran’s delicate yellow face. "This face is quite nice. If I carve a few cuts on it and tattoo a pattern with a knife, it might be even more beautiful, won’t it?"

Yanran did not respond, only fixing her with a cold gaze. The woman felt a chill run down her spine from Yanran’s look. As she intended to take further action against Ruoran, a "click" sounded, and a secret door opened.

"Get out!" The man who emerged from the secret door said coldly to the woman.

The woman, upon seeing the man before her, didn’t say a word. She gave him a bow and then quietly slunk away.

The man who walked out from the secret door approached Yanran and, deliberately putting on a dandy demeanor, greeted her: "Hi, we meet again."

Although his tone was intentionally made to sound casual, Yanran could still detect a trace of suppressed excitement in his words.

Sure enough, a satisfied smile slowly spread across his face: "Ha-ha-ha, aren’t you very cunning? Very strong and able to fight, aren’t you? Yet still can’t escape my grasp, can you!?"

Ha-ha-ha-ha!" Shorty laughed loudly, his laughter full of the satisfaction of revenge achieved.

Shorty was indeed on the verge of going mad with happiness. The plan he and those few others had devised had succeeded so quickly that even he was a little surprised.

Moreover, the effect of this plan was exceptionally good, far beyond his expectations.

He hadn’t considered dealing with the extraterrestrial man yet, but he hadn’t expected to catch both of these extraterrestrial girls so readily. Initially, his plan was to capture one, and that would have satisfied him.

Now that he had caught both at once, how could Shorty not be extremely happy?
