Can’t Take My Eyes Off You - Chapter 2332
2332 The Professor Is Back
“Okay, I’ll pick you up tomorrow.” Lu Xingzhi was very calm. He had already guessed that, so he was not surprised or angry.
Lu Xingzhi knew Jiang Yao’s personality well after being married to her for so long. Jiang Yao would have to make that choice sooner or later, unless she could save her roommates.
“Yesterday, I heard the reporters interviewing Qiaoyu and the other two families. I also saw the newspaper reports. Even though I couldn’t see their faces, hearing their cries on the broadcast made my heart ache. I wanted to be selfish, to be insensitive, to be indifferent, but I stayed up all night. I was afraid that if I continued to drag this on, I would anger them. I was afraid that they would harm one of them to warn us.”
“I’ll go with you,” Lu Xingzhi said.
There was no more blame, no more explanation. Those were four simple words. “I’ll go with you.”
No matter where they wentto the ends of the earth, to the edge of a knife mountain, or to a sea of fire.
They had done everything they could to avoid getting to that point. Reality had finally pushed them to that point. They had no choice but to go down that road. They had to keep going, even if it meant biting the bullet.
The only thing he could do was accompany her and risk his life to protect her and the child.
He made many promises to her, but he would break them all. He would not, under any circumstances, allow himself to be negligent at that time.
Liang Yueze’s men quickly contacted Lu Xingzhi. The people on both sides made arrangements and then called Master Cheng to inform him.
That night, Professor Ouyang was found in the corridor where his car had been discovered. He was discovered by a passing villager and taken to the hospital by police. Professor Ouyang was found wearing different clothes than when he went missing. Instead, he was dressed in a suit of exquisite quality from a foreign brand. Professor Ouyang’s body was free of wounds. He had been knocked out and left by the side of the road.
Professor Ouyang spent the night in the hospital. He was still dazed when he awoke the following day. The police arrived at the hospital to inquire about his whereabouts. He provided some information.
For example, how he disappeared and was kidnapped. He awoke in a strange place after being knocked out and taken away. That place was beautiful, but he was being watched. Jiang Yao was later kidnapped there as well, and when he arrived, he finally knew why those people kidnapped him.
“It was to let you and Jiang Yao treat their illness, right?” The police questioned him while taking notes.
“Yes, the day after Jiang Yao arrived, we were taken to a special room. Only after that did we know what we had to do. During the treatment period, those people treated us quite well. They arranged the best food and the most comfortable accommodation for us. They prepared the clothes we wore. However, they were all very tight-lipped. Jiang Yao and I tried to probe a few times, but we couldn’t get anything out of them. We did not know who they were, where we were, what they did, and who the sick person was. Then, before I went to bed last night, I remembered that I was in my own room. When I woke up, I was already at the hospital. I was still wearing my pajamas before I went to bed yesterday. I haven’t worn these shoes on my feet, either. They’re new.”
