Chapter 2296: It’s Not That Easy
Jiang Yao shrugged and pretended she could not do anything. It was not that she was lazy; it was just that she lacked talent. What she created was incompatible with delicacies.
Most importantly, Lu Xingzhi did not wish for her to cook. Her skin was sensitive, and a drop of oil could cause redness for days.
She was spoiled as a child, and Lu Xingzhi spoiled her as an adult. As a result, everyone in the county praised Jiang Yao for her good reputation.
Lunch was a lot of fun. Mrs. Jiang and Madam Cheng only took a short break before returning to work for the evening’s big dinner.
Lu Xingzhi escorted Jiang Yao to the courtyard for a walk. Cheng Jinnian stood behind her. Cheng Jinnian’s gaze never left Jiang Yao as he walked in front. He was occasionally drawn to the flowers that bloomed in the courtyard. He would call out to Jiang Yao and inquire about them.
‘Your stomach seems to be growing very fast recently.” Lu Xingzhi held Jiang Yao with one hand and touched Jiang Yao’s stomach with the other. Or, he would bend down and put his ear close to Jiang Yao’s ear to listen for the child’s heartbeat.
“It will grow faster in the later stages.” Jiang Yao took Lu Xingzhi’s arm and pouted. “1 can’t walk anymore. I want to go back to the house and have a seat.”
Lu Xingzhi looked at his watch and realized they had already walked for 20 minutes. He nodded and led Jiang Yao back to the house. Coincidentally, the TV in the living room was broadcasting international news; it was about a hijacked cruise ship and the guests kidnapped.
The two people working in the kitchen could not hear the broadcast in the living room and thus had no reaction. Master Cheng and Cheng Jinyan exchanged glances before turning to face Lu Xingzhi.
Master Cheng was surprised that the news had not been suppressed sooner.
“A thousand people? What are they going to do with so many people?” Jiang Yao was stunned, then she asked Lu Xingzhi, “Aren’t they afraid that a few countries will band together and send troops to wipe them out?”
“It’s not that easy.” Lu Xingzhi shook his head. “They now occupy a few groups, and the people from those groups listen to their orders. To eradicate them, we have to pass through those groups. Most importantly, that organization has countless industries and many private islands. We might not even know the locations of most of them.”
Jiang Yao sighed. “They kidnapped more than 300 of our citizens. We’d have to pay a lot of money to get them back. I think the organization is short of money. They need continuous investment to keep their research running. Plus, they suffered a huge setback previously. They must urgently need money to fix their current situation.”
“It’s not that easy to form an alliance. Who will send out how many troops? What weapons? We also have to worry about our airspace border. These are serious tactical problems, so it’s not a child’s game.” They also had to worry about retaliation.Continue read full chapters on our website:Bon n o v e l.com
‘Aren’t you tired? Don’t you want to take a break?” Lu Xingzhi was not surprised and had little desire to hear what he already knew. There was no new or helpful information in the news. For many people, it would make an amazing story to listen to..
