Chapter 2328: I Won’t Do It Again
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Xingzhi rushed to Nanjiang City after leaving the small town. If there was any benefit to that farce at home, it was that it provided him with an excellent excuse to leave the army base.
He received a phone call from Zhou Junmin at Jiang Jie’s house. He informed him that three of Jiang Yao’s university roommates had gone missing. The dormitory manager received a letter that night. According to the letter, they had invited three of the Divine Doctor’s close friends to be guests.
Naturally, they were referring to the organization that had hijacked the s.h.i.+p.
That was also why Lu Xingzhi was more confident that w.a.n.g Xian’s cousin had hidden the child. If that organization had abducted Jiang Yao’s nephew, why would they go to such lengths to abduct Jiang Yao’s roommates?
Jiang Yao’s nephew, after all, was a better bargaining chip than her roommates.
It was not difficult to deduce that they kidnapped Jiang Yao’s roommate because Jiang Yao’s and Lu Xingzhi’s families were so well-protected that they did not have the opportunity to act. As a result, they targeted Jiang Yao’s college roommates, whom they had neglected.
They most likely did this to determine whether Jiang Yao was truly missing. It was also to compel Jiang Yao to appear on her own accord. It was all a ruse to get the Divine Doctor’s student to appear.
Jiang Yao was in Nanjiang City, so it was impossible to hide the news from her. Lu Xingzhi rushed over to discuss countermeasures with Master Cheng and the others.
Jiang Yao might be a little cold-blooded toward the 300 people, but she definitely would not act the same toward her roommates, who used to be close to her day and night.
Jiang Yao, who did not have many friends, valued her roommates even more after Zhou Xiaoxia’s family was involved in that incident.
Master Cheng’s men secretly brought Lu Xingzhi to the mansion as soon as he arrived at Nanjiang City’s airport. It was already daytime.
Jiang Yao did not get a good night’s sleep because she was worried. She awoke if there was any movement downstairs. She took her coat and noticed Lu Xingzhi standing downstairs. She ran downstairs without even putting on her coat.
‘Xingzhi!”
She had not seen him for a few days. Jiang Yao was in a frenzy. When she went downstairs, she was about to run to Lu Xingzhi’s arms, but Lu Xingzhi avoided her.
“1 just came in from the outside. My body is cold.” That was his way of avoiding her explanation. When he finished, his face darkened when he saw Jiang Yao wearing a short- sleeved s.h.i.+rt. He immediately carried her upstairs and placed her on the bed.
Jiang Yao had just gotten off the bed, so it was still warm. She watched as Lu Xingzhi pulled the blanket over her and wrapped her up. She retracted her head in embarra.s.sment. “I forgot everything when I heard your voice. Actually, I am very healthy. I don’t catch colds easily.”
After saying that, she yawned in embarra.s.sment. She was so embarra.s.sed that she dared not even look up at Lu Xingzhi.
‘Why do you continue to say that your body is better?” Lu Xingzhi raised his hand and rubbed Jiang Yao’s head. After all, it had been a few days since they last saw each other, so he did not have the heart to scold her. Jiang Yao bit her lip and shook her head. “I won’t do it again.”
That was the first time she had admitted her mistake so quickly.
After admitting her mistake, Jiang Yao said, “Qiaoyu and the others have been taken. If I don’t appear soon, they won’t let them go.”
Jiang Yao was vexed. “I have brought them danger. They are ordinary girls. They must be scared half to death right now.”
She had not expected that the people from the organization would lay their hands on her college roommates. If they could not capture her family, they would capture her cla.s.smates and friends. Jiang Yao could not defend herself no matter what..
