Can’t Take My Eyes Off You Chapter 2298

Chapter 2298: Bad News
“I’m not drunk. I’m sober.” Lu Xingzhi did not drink too much that night. He only drank three glasses. After all, he would not compromise his body; if he drank too much, Jiang Yao would undoubtedly throw him back into the hospital in rage.
He deliberately leaned on Jiang Yao and pretended to be drunk to tease her. He liked to see her bristling.
“Usually, people who drink too much will say that they are sober,” Jiang Yao muttered. Unexpectedly, his lips pressed down on hers as soon as she finished speaking. He hugged her in his arms and started to kiss her wantonly under the moonlight.
Lu Xingzhi did not dare to go too far because Mrs. Jiang was nearby to send the guests off. He stopped after a light taste, and when he let go, he still looked like he had not had enough.
Yes, he had not gotten laid for a long time.
Yes, he had not gotten laid for a long time.
“I want to hold you in my arms and kiss you properly.” However, he could only think about it. He knew that Jiang Yao was shy and was not used to showing off their love in front of others; he was afraid that it would not just end with a kiss.
Jiang Yao glared at Lu Xingzhi. “Your phone is ringing.”
Lu Xingzhi’s phone was in his pocket. Jiang Yao reached out, took out his phone from his pocket, and handed it to him.
That was a death sentence for Lu Xingzhi. His phone was in his trouser pocket. When Jiang Yao reached out to help him with his phone, she stroked and grabbed it.
“Hello.” Lu Xingzhi’s voice was hoarse when he picked up the call.
Lu Xingzhi looked at the caller ID and realized it was Liang Yueze. Just then, Mrs. Jiang was back. Lu Xingzhi said, “Mom, please bring Yaoyao back to the house. It’s windy. I’m afraid she’ll catch a cold.”
Jiang Yao exclaimed in surprise, and before she could react, Mrs. Jiang brought her back to the house. Lu Xingzhi returned the phone to his ear and said, ‘You can talk now.”
“Bad news.” Liang Yuezes voice was remarkably low. “The ships hijack was aimed at your wife, Jiang Yao.”
‘What do you mean? Why are they targeting my wife?” Lu Xingzhi did not quite understand what he heard, but his heart skipped a beat.
What could that matter have to do with Jiang Yao?
“I received a tip-off. That organization targeted more than 300 of our fellow citizens on the passenger ship. The rest were thrown away as experimental subjects for the research institute. They spread the news that they captured many of our country’s citizens to force the Divine Doctors student to help them.”
The Divine Doctor was supposed to have died in the aviation accident. Lu Xingzhi and Liang Yueze had put a lot of effort into erasing Jiang Yao’s traces as the Divine Doctor.
The organization would not have wasted any effort in any investigation. They preferred a more violent and effective way to for their hands.
They knew they might not be able to hire the Divine Doctor’s student even if they learned of her identity.
They were also accustomed to being arrogant. They lacked the patience to wait and investigate.
“They used the lives of over 300 compatriots as blackmail to demand the appearance of the Divine Doctor student. That is truly despicable, and since they are here for Jiang Yao, I don’t need to think about their ultimate goal,” Liang Yueze said with a frown. It was no surprise that the organization wanted everyone to know about the hijacking. They intended to use the general public to force the Divine Doctor’s student out of her hiding..
