“Arthur,” Sophie, as a mother, understood her son’s mind best. She approached him and took his arm, looked up at him with distress, and comforted him softly.
“Don’t take those words to heart. We’re already here. Lucia and them will be fine.”
“Of course, we’ll get them out soon.” Arthur nodded.
But Sophie didn’t think Arthur was really so confident. Love was like a double-edged knife. It made people extremely strong, but at the same time it also made people extremely fragile, so she still refused to let go of Arthur’s arm.
“Sophie, let Arthur and the others discuss the action plan. Let’s go in and rest first.” Actually Edwin didn’t want to rest, but he knew that if he didn’t leave, his wife wouldn’t want to leave either, so he said that.
Sophie looked deeply at Arthur for several times, and finally followed Edwin reluctantly, and went down to the cabin under the escort of the crew and bodyguards. Chris also followed after exhorting his sons, but Helena did not bear, clinging to Otis’ arms and not leaving.
“I want to discuss with you too.” Helena said stubbornly.
Otis knew Helena so well. Seeing that she was in good spirits, he gave up the idea of persuading her to take a rest, and together they came to the captain’s meeting room of the cargo ship, where Jack and the others had arranged the nautical map. And there were a lot of weapons and equipment scattered on the table.
Helena’s eyes darkened when she saw those weapons, but she still stabilized her mind and didn’t let her worries disturb other people’s plans.
Everyone stood around the table and began to discuss the specific rescue plan.
“Now it can be roughly guessed that Spencer is driving a yacht. The yacht is small and densely populated. We must be extremely careful when we act. Once Spencer finds out, he will react quickly.” Otis said.
“Is there any diving equipment on board?” Arthur asked.
“Yes, and we’ve checked it. It’s all good,” Jack replied.
“Then we will dive through the sea when the two ships meet,” Arthur said, “After getting on the boat, Jack, you should deal with Spencer’s men first, so that he does not have the opportunity to mobilize his personnel. Otis and I will search for the whereabouts of Lucia and the baby. Shawn and Reynolds go to Ms. Wilson.”
“But what if he finds out?” Gene wasn’t going to shy away from the worst.
Reynolds and Shawn looked at Arthur at this time, with ambiguous eyes. Otis also looked at Arthur after noticing their eyes, and for a moment, he understood something.
“No! I won’t let you take the risk!” Otis snapped immediately.
Jack and the others reacted after hearing what Otis said, and Chris even shouted exaggeratedly,
“Do you want to use yourself as bait?!”
“This is the best way,” Arthur said indifferently. “Once found out, Spencer’s attention will definitely be on me. You guys go ahead and leave me alone.”
“How can that be done!” Otis firmly disagreed. “I understand your determination to rescue Lucia and the baby, but I absolutely disagree with risking your life!”
Lucia and the baby were his relatives, but Arthur was his brother who was connected by blood!
“Otis!” Arthur frowned, looked at Otis and said, “If it were you, how would you do it?!”
Otis was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he turned his head and glanced at Helena who was full of worry. For a moment, the rebuttal was stuck in his throat and it couldn’t come out.
“You will choose to do this, right?” Otis looked at Helena with eyes full of love, and his love for Lucia was less than his love for Helena. Arthur asked back.
“Otis, as long as we act fast enough and stealthily, this can be avoided.” Shawn stood up to speak for Arthur at this time.
Otis took a deep breath, and finally had no choice but to choose between reluctance, and said to Arthur solemnly,
“I want you to do your best to protect yourself, no matter what the circumstances!”
Arthur breathed a sigh of relief and nodded seriously.
After the plan was prepared, the cargo ship sailed all the way forward, and soon, it was about to rendezvous with Spencer’s yacht.
When the sun was sinking west in the evening, the administrator of the cargo ship finally sent the news that the yacht not far away had been detected on the radar, and the two ships were slowly approaching each other at this time. Arthur and the others began to prepare for diving.
On the deck, in the afterglow of the setting sun, Sophie watched worriedly as Arthur and the others put on the diving suit one after another, and the tension in her heart could not be reduced.
Edwin no longer had the confidence to comfort his wife, because it was his son who was going to take risks. How can he be calm and not take it seriously?
Chris was still telling his two sons to be safe, and to rescue their mother under the condition of guaranteeing their safety.
Shawn and Reynolds listened to their father’s instructions quietly, not daring to neglect.
Now everything was ready, waiting for the rendezvous of the two ships.
When the Polaris quietly climbed up to the sky, and the yacht floating in the sea could be seen faintly through the telescope, everyone tensed up, thinking that the time to rescue Lucia, baby and Esmae had finally come, but they did not expect that before the two ships met, a crew member standing on the deck exclaimed.
“Look, what’s in the sky over there?!”
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and they looked in the direction the crew pointed. The eyesight of the crew was better than that of ordinary people. Everyone said they didn’t see anything, and only Arthur frowned.
“There really is something, like a light!” said the crew member.
After Arthur heard this, he picked up the binoculars, and Otis and the others observed the same. Sure enough, there were a few beams of lights flashing in the distant sky, flickering as if they were coming towards the cargo ship.
Arthur put the binoculars down, nearly crushing them by the handle.
“It’s Nia !” Arthur gritted his teeth.
“What?!” Otis was shocked after hearing this, and then asked in confusion, “Nia actually found it here?”
“If we can see them, Spencer must have seen them on the yacht.” Arthur’s voice sounded chilly as if it came from the valley.
“No! If they act first, they will probably startle him!” Otis said anxiously.
Arthur immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Nia’s phone number immediately. After a long time, Nia connected the phone. Hearing the background sound of the roaring engine, Arthur had already confirmed that it was indeed Nia who was in the helicopter.
Not knowing that she had inadvertently disrupted Arthur’s plan, Nia asked innocently after answering the phone,
“Mr. Davies, where are you now? We have flown near the yacht.”
