2329 Had To Wait

“Second Brother said that the people from that organization also sent people to attack Wen Xuehui, but he arrived in time, so those people did not succeed,” Jiang Yao said. “It’s all thanks to him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to face Chancellor Wen in the future.”

After saying that, Jiang Yao became timid, and she lost all her temper.

After a long silence, Jiang Yao said, “Looking at the situation, they wouldn’t let them go if I don’t make an appearance.”

That was the truth. They had gone through so much trouble to force Jiang Yao to show herself. They would not stop until they forced her out.

“Now that everyone knows you’ve gone missing, you can’t appear so quickly. The news of your disappearance can still buy us some time,” Lu Xingzhi comforted her. “And we can buy as much time as we can. Let’s see what the higher-ups will do.”

At the same time, Lu Xingzhi would also think of ways to rescue Jiang Yao’s roommates. No matter how much money they needed to spend, it would be worth it. As long as they could get them out, Jiang Yao would not have to take the risk.

Jiang Yao snorted coldly, “I think it’s ridiculous to place our hopes on those people in power. What can they do? They only know how to shout and keep shouting. What’s the use? Can they get the organization to retreat?”

“It’s necessary to wait.” While he needed time to discuss with the foreign mercenaries, the news of Jiang Yao’s disappearance had already been released. Her roommates had just been captured, and she had appeared. No one would think that she had gone missing.

Therefore, even if there was no other way, Lu Xingzhi had to step in for Jiang Yao. He had to make sure there was no mistake. Furthermore, he had to give Jiang Yao a reason to come back.

The disappearance of the Nanjiang Medical University students had also served as a warning for the local area. There were police officers and soldiers everywhere investigating suspicious people. The immigration department was even stricter, preventing suspicious people from sneaking into the country.

Many dangerous people were discovered within two days of such a strict search. Some were unlucky spies, and there were also a lot of underlings from that organization hiding in the streets and alleys.

Lu Xingzhi rushed back to Luo City after spending half a day with Master Cheng. Even though he could not bear to part with Jiang Yao, he could not give up halfway through his act.

After returning to Luo City, Lu Xingzhi frequently contacted some of the internationally renowned mercenaries. However, it was not surprising that no one was willing to accept his business.

Everyone knew that the organization was not one to be trifled with. Furthermore, the people Lu Xingzhi wanted to save must be under strict supervision. It was undoubtedly difficult to save those people at the time.

No one would want to take on a loss-making business. If they could not save them, they would not earn money, and their own men might get hurt too. Therefore, no one was tempted by the sky-high price of Lu Xingzhi’s proposal.

Sometimes, money was not everything.

For the first time, Lu Xingzhi realized that some people could not be controlled by money. Even Big Ke and Ah Lu’s original unit were unwilling to take that job.

Zhou Junmin said, “Colonel, don’t you think that the people from that organization are too calm? They’ve already kidnapped her for a week. We still have no idea who kidnapped her. They still have to feed her, right? They must be hoping that she could treat their illnesses because she’s a medical student. Maybe they needed a longer period to treat the complicated illnesses. Will they keep her for a few months?”
