“Miss Liao, may I come in?” Zhou Ye knocked on the door.

“Please, come in.”

Upon seeing Li Xian enter the room, Liao Ning immediately stood up. “Li Xian, I need my freedom. You can’t keep me imprisoned. We’re supposed to be partners.”

Since being caught transmitting news during her live-stream, she had not been able to go live for several days. She wondered if Zhou Ling had discovered her whereabouts.

If she remained confined, she wouldn’t be able to send any messages. Escaping from the rebel army camp seemed nearly impossible at this point.

“Miss Liao, allow me to introduce Kevin. He will assist you in your future live-streams,” Li Xian explained.

As Li Xian introduced him, Liao Ning looked at Kevin with confusion. There was something familiar about his eyes, but she couldn’t recall where she had seen them before.

“Hello, Miss Liao. I’m Kevin, your new assistant,” Zhou Ye said, stepping forward and extending his hand.

Reluctantly, Liao Ning shook his hand, but her gaze remained fixed on his eyes. She was certain that she had seen those eyes before.

“Now, the two of you should make the necessary preparations. It’s been a few days since our last live-stream. Today, Miss Liao will be live-streaming as a consultant for the rebel army. Any objections?” Li Xian asked, his tone firm and non-negotiable.

“A rebel army consultant? Li Xian, are you planning to reveal to everyone that you’ve captured me?” Liao Ning never expected Li Xian to announce her presence within the rebel army.

Li Xian shrugged. “It’s not a capture; it’s cooperation. Just get ready.”

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he pivoted back and added, “By the way, what ingredients do you need, Miss Liao? I’ll have someone purchase them for you. Just provide me with a list.”

Since the seafood pancake ingredients didn’t include an antidote last time, and the golden clam’s antidotal effects were relatively ordinary, Li Xian still hoped to find other formulas that could help mermaids break free from the loyalty potion’s control.

After Li Xian left, Liao Ning slumped weakly onto the sofa. Despite her captivity, she couldn’t deny that Li Xian treated her relatively well. He had provided her with the finest room, and apart from the restrictions on communication and freedom, she was given decent treatment.

However, this didn’t allow her to feel at ease. When she noticed the communicator on Zhou Ye’s person, her body tensed up. She contemplated seizing the opportunity to snatch the device.

“Don’t fixate on your target. It’s easy to reveal your intentions,” Zhou Ye cautioned her.

“What are you implying?” Liao Ning, having received professional training, hadn’t expected the other party to discern her thoughts.

“There are no surveillance cameras in this room. Li Xian can be considered a gentleman,” Zhou Ye said, taking a seat opposite Liao Ning. “You can relax here, but there’s a signal blocker in this room. You won’t be able to send any messages.”

Liao Ning remained silent, her gaze fixed on his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ye broke into a smile. “You’re a little different from what Zhou Ling described. He said you were an adorable girl, but you’re quite sharp and composed. If it weren’t for the wrong location, I’d say you’d make an excellent scout.”

Upon hearing his words, Liao Ning widened her eyes and locked onto his gaze. It was identical to Mili’s eyes.

Liao Ning probed, “Are you Mili’s father? Zhou Ye?”

“Yes, it’s our first meeting,” Zhou Ye replied, his smile radiant. “It’s good to see you. I’m glad you’re safe.”

“How is Zhou Ling? Have you been in contact with him?”

“He’s already in the empire. He’s currently at my house,” Zhou Ye answered.

Upon hearing that Zhou Ling had already arrived in the empire, Liao Ning hastily rose from her seat. “What? What are you saying? How could he be so impulsive?”

The realization of her situation sank in, causing Liao Ning to lower her voice. “Isn’t it dangerous for him to come here? Is there a way for him to return to interstellar space?”

Initially, Zhou Ye had hesitated to allow Zhou Ling to accompany him. However, he couldn’t help but empathize with Zhou Ling’s determination to save Mi Lu, should she ever be abducted. Thus, he relented and let Zhou Ling join the mission.

Feeling disheartened, Liao Ning slumped back onto the sofa.

Zhou Ye offered a comforting pat on her shoulder. “Don’t worry, we will find a way to rescue you. But for now, it’s crucial that you cooperate and carry out the live-stream effectively
