Chapter 2283: No One Knew
“They’ve been keeping it a secret?” Lu Xingzhi’s face became solemn. Even he was unaware of it, which meant that neither the Liang nor the Chen families were aware of it.
The gravity of the situation was obvious. The higher-ups had either not heard the news or had kept it a secret. Even Old Master Liang was unaware of it.
A passenger ship with over a thousand passengers and over 300 fellow citizens.
What would happen to those people if that organization captured them?
When he thought about those soldiers who died in the mountains, he realized they died for no reason and became lab rats for that organization’s experiments.
“Not many people know about it yet. My people just happened to see it at the port. The entire passenger ship was hijacked, including the crew members and captain. The passenger ship was blown up and sank to the bottom of the sea after those people were taken ashore in batches,” Master Cheng explained. “My people are still keeping an eye on things. I will let you know if there are any changes. ”
After a brief pause, Master Cheng said, “Go and ask Old Master Liang. This issue can’t be suppressed in this manner. The lives of over 300 fellow citizens are extremely valuable. ”
Lu Xingzhi took a few seconds to calm down after hanging up the phone. Jiang Yao’s birthday was only a few hours away. He did not want to use that incident to influence Jiang Yao’s mood.
“I am going out to talk to Zhou Junmin about something. I will be back soon. If you are tired, stay home and wait for me.”
Lu Xingzhi lowered his head and kissed Jiang Yao’s forehead. “Be good.” “WThy are you going out”? Stay at home. It’s a special time for me. If there’s anything, ask Zhou Junmin to look for you. It’s cold outside. If you catch a cold now, I’ll get more syringes to give you injections.” Jiang Yao pouted and stopped Lu Xingzhi from going out.
“It’s not too far. I’m afraid that our meeting will affect your rest. The road outside is also flat. I’ll walk slowly.” Lu Xingzhi shook his phone. “Call me if there’s anything.”
Jiang Yao guessed that the meeting Lu Xingzhi was referring to was probably classified in the army. She had no idea who was on the phone with him, but his entire demeanor was frighteningly depressed. When Jiang Yao saw that he was determined to go out, she got up and returned to the bedroom to get him a coat and assist him in putting it on before nodding her head to let him go.
Lu Xingzhi walked slowly and unhurriedly, just as he had promised Jiang Yao. In the back view, he seemed like an old man. “I will wait for you to come home and sleep together!” Jiang Yao curled the corners of her lips again.
Lu Xingzhi turned and looked at Jiang Yao. He pursed his lips and arched his brows. It was not hard to figure out who was waiting for him to return. Someone must be looking forward to his gift.
After Lu Xingzhi left, Jiang Yao spoke briefly with her mother before returning to the bedroom. She did nothing else but rummaged through the closet, hoping to find where Lu Xingzhi had hidden the gift.
Under the bed? It was empty.
There was nothing extra in the closet.
Jiang Yao could not help but snicker as she sat on the edge of the bed. He had not left the house in a long time. Was it possible that he had asked Zhou Junmin to prepare it for her? He said that he needed something from Zhou Junmin and did not bring her with him. He also did not invite Zhou Junmin to the study to discuss the situation. Perhaps it was not army matters but the gifts he had gotten for her from Zhou Junmin.
Jiang Yao was happily lying on the bed in the bedroom, waiting for Lu Xingzhi to return home. Lu Xingzhi did not travel far after leaving home. The weather outside was bitterly cold, and the dew was thick, just as Jiang Yao had predicted. He only took a turn and called Liang Yueze to inform him of Master Chengs words..
