Chapter 495: The Self-Torture Strategy
Xiao Zhengrong had been mentally prepared for this, and he had been persistent in meeting her, apologizing to her, and expressing his desire to pursue her again.
Lan Qiuru finally softened her heart.
But just when their relationship was about to be reconciled, the Jiang Yao incident happened.
"It's all my fault!"
Xiao Zhengrong's face was filled with grief and indignation. "It was my stupidity that helped Huo Yishen to commit atrocities, which led him to take desperate measures and kidnap Jiang Yao. If anything happens to Yaoyao, I will give her my life as compensation!"
Lan Qiuru was so anxious that she was about to cry, but after hearing what he said, she could no longer blame him.
"No, it was me!" Jiang Jinghe stood up at this time, "I was the one who let the wolf into the house. Yaoyao was willing to be captured for me. It's obviously me who deserves to die."
He wanted to stab himself with a knife, just like the current situation, which would make him live a life worse than death.
"Fourth brother, don't be like this!" Jiang Jingzhou said solemnly, "Yaoyao's capture was something no one could have expected. Now that Huo Yishen is dead, our most important task is to find Yaoyao's whereabouts."
"But we used all our connections in the business and political circles, but we couldn't find her whereabouts."
Everyone's face looked ugly.
The longer the time drags on, the greater the danger level for Jiang Yao.
But where is she?
Just when everyone was at an impasse, the silent Li Beiting offered a clue: "Next, we should start from other aspects and investigate the Jiang family's enemies, friends, and relatives."
Jiang Haozhe was surprised: "Do you think that someone she knew took her away?"
"There are not many people in Kyoto who don't recognize her. With such a well-known face, ordinary kidnappers wouldn't dare to take action. It would be easy to expose her. Unless she is of a powerful status, any abnormality cannot be missed."
Li Beiting's brain was calmer than ever before, and he analyzed the relevant details.
After hearing this, everyone thought it made sense and began to take action.
In fact, Li Beiting is more worried now. If Jiang Yao is awake and capable of acting on his own, it is impossible for him to find ways to pass on the message to them.
He immediately thought of the empty syringe on the floor when he broke into the room. His eyelids twitched, and he felt like something unexpected had happened.
What exactly is in that syringe?
Perhaps, he should start with the Huo family.
…
Late that night.
The lights in the mountain villa were turned off and everyone went to bed.
At this time, Jiang Yao changed his clothes, quietly opened the door a crack and looked out.
Not seeing anyone, she walked out cautiously.
No matter how much Lu Zhengze told her, she had to confirm it with her own eyes.
Walking out of the villa, Jiang Yao looked back and left without hesitation.
Not long after she left, the door of the upstairs study was opened.
"Master, Miss Yaoyao is out." A subordinate came to report the situation to him.
Lu Zhengze was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and watched her leave with his own eyes.
After a moment, he gave the order, "According to the plan."
"yes."
The footsteps gradually faded away.
Jiang Yao walked down the mountain from the villa, stopping and walking along the way, observing the scenery around him.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth.
But just as she was about to walk down the mountain, she heard stealthy footsteps behind her.
Jiang Yao paused and subconsciously glanced behind him, but didn't see anyone.
But she had a bad feeling in her heart.
It's an intuition.
She seemed to be being watched.
Jiang Yao took a deep breath, quickened his pace and continued forward.
The people behind him were gradually approaching.
Just when they were about to attack Jiang Yao, she turned around suddenly and met four or five pairs of eyes.
Everyone was wearing black clothes and covering their faces, and they didn't look like good people.
"Who are you?" she asked coldly.
"Miss, if you're going to be nice, just follow us. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude." Those people said as they took out sharp blades from their arms.
Jiang Yao's heart tightened, but for some reason, he didn't feel too scared.
It was as if she knew she could handle them.
The next second, the opponent attacked without giving her a chance to think.
Jiang Yao dodged one of the attacks and raised his leg to counterattack.
After a few moves, her movements became smoother.
Even she herself didn't expect that her skills would be so good.
No wonder she didn't feel scared when she went out in the middle of the night.
She successfully knocked down the two men in black.
Jiang Yao now became more confident and started fighting with the remaining three people.
The situation went from a siege at the beginning to a one-sided situation later.
Jiang Yao swept the entire field by himself with ease.
"careful."
Just when Jiang Yao was getting the hang of things, another person quietly emerged from behind the bushes and stabbed her back with a sharp dagger.
At this critical moment, a figure appeared like lightning and stood behind her.
The dagger stabbed into the chest of the visitor with a "puff" sound.
Jiang Yao's pupils shrank, and he rushed forward and knocked the attacker unconscious to the ground.
Finally, she came to Lu Zhengze and helped him up with trembling hands, "Aze, don't scare me."
"No, don't worry." Lu Zhengze covered his chest with blood, his face pale and his forehead covered in sweat, but he still forced himself to give her a comforting smile, "As long as you're okay..."
Jiang Yao's hands were shaking, his mind was in a mess, and his eyes were filled with images of blood. He had no idea what to do.
"Master!"
At this moment, Lu Zhengze's subordinates arrived in time, "Master, you've lost a lot of blood. Hurry, call an ambulance and take him to the hospital."
Jiang Yao couldn't do anything and just watched them carry Lu Zhengze away.
"Miss Yaoyao, do you want to come with us?"
"Yes!" Jiang Yao followed immediately.
The group arrived at the private hospital under the Lu family's name in the middle of the night. Lu Zhengze was quickly carried into the operating room. A group of medical staff came in and out, and the situation looked quite critical.
Jiang Yao only now realized what had happened.
"Why, why is he following me?" Jiang Yao's lips turned pale as he asked Chen Feng, Lu Zhengze's confidant beside him.
Shen Feng looked helpless. "Miss Yaoyao, the young master knows that you won't trust her easily, so he has someone watching you all the time, fearing that you might be in danger. When he learned that you ran away from home in the middle of the night, he immediately followed you. We couldn't stop him in time..."
Jiang Yao was speechless for a moment.
So, he was thinking about her and was injured so badly to protect her.
Thinking of this, a dull pain surged through her brain again, so painful that she almost couldn't breathe.
Shen Feng saw it and quickly comforted her: "Miss, don't be too sad. The young master values your life more than his own. He is willing to block the knife for you. And I believe he is very strong and will be fine!"
