Chapter 1914: Pregnant Women Are Stupid
The three people at the dining table went to stand beside Jiang Yao. The news reported the major incident that happened the previous night. At the moment, all the researchers who attended the medical research conference had been kidnapped. No one knew where kidnappers came from, and they even obtained all the information given at the conference.
All participants were kidnapped in one night, and all the materials were stolen. Lin Techeng was so taken aback that his eyeballs nearly popped out. “This must be an insider’s job.”
“There must be a mole,” Jiang Yao said firmly. “Perhaps some spies. Maybe they have infiltrated the hotel since the beginning of the conference.”
“Those people should be envious of us, right?”
Xiao An smiled sneakily. “They probably said that we were stupid for leaving. Now, they must be envious of us that we left early yesterday. We haven’t given them any information or materials either. We’re just too lucky.”
Jiang Yao sat there and nodded, gloating over those people’s misfortune.
After hearing the broadcast, Jiang Yao went back to the dining table and took out her phone to send Cheng Jinyan a text message to thank him.
If Cheng Jinyan had not told her in advance, she would probably be one of the people kidnapped.
Jiang Yao did not know how the kidnappers managed to kidnap so many people without anyone noticing. The authorities did not know anything about them, and they did not even know who had taken those people. They did not know their motive, so they hoped that the citizens could provide some clues.
That huge incident soon captured the attention of the entire world. After all, those kidnapped researchers were from many countries.
Lu Xingzhi called Jiang Yao right after she finished her breakfast. When he heard her voice, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“I was shocked when I heard the news on the radio. It’s good that you’re okay.” Lu Xingzhi’s heart was in his throat when he heard the news. Fortunately, he managed to call Jiang Yao, and she was not captured. Their country’s government had not received any information about that incident.
After all, Jiang Yao’s Changkang Research Institute was the only one invited. Jiang Yao was unharmed and had not been kidnapped. The organizers were so preoccupied that they did not have time to engage with countries not involved in the incident.
Jiang Yao said, amused. “I told you that I left with Lin Techeng and the others. They might say that pregnant women are stupid, but do I look stupid to you?”
“I was just too worried about you.” Lu Xingzhi scoffed. That was the most appropriate way to describe his reaction. “Are you coming home today? If yes, are you going to Luo City or staying in Nanjiang City for two more days? If you are coming back to Luo City, tell me your flight time, and I’ll pick you up at the airport.”
Jiang Yao had only left for two nights, but Lu Xingzhi felt like it had been forever.
His wife had gone abroad with his child. He had to stay at home alone with a huge bed. There was no wife to hug him at night, and he could not touch his child. His life felt empty.
“I’m going to visit Sister Ruoran since I’m already here. It’s just a two-hour flight. I’ll stay with her for one or two days before I head home.”.
