Chapter 229 Joy from Heaven

Gao Yang felt annoyed but also somewhat proud, because their team had never failed in a hostage rescue operation, achieving complete success every time, which was enough to make anyone proud. That's because hostage rescue, among all types of combat, is arguably the most difficult: you have to neutralize the enemy while ensuring the safety of the hostages. Many long-established and professionally trained special forces units can't guarantee a flawless record in hostage situations, yet Gao Yang's makeshift team, which had never undergone professional rescue training, had managed to do just that twice already.

If there was anything different about this rescue mission compared to the previous ones, it was that Gao Yang did not need to push himself into a desperate situation this time. The reason was simple: the previous two times were to save his friends, but this time it was to save strangers, and they were the kind of strangers whose rescue was optional.
