Chapter 2339: Innocent

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Therefore, many things could not be said to Jiang Yao, especially when the chief had to speak to her.

“Xingzhi told me that the passenger ship was hijacked, and I know about the kidnapping of my college roommates in Nanjiang,” Jiang Yao said. “Speaking of which, it seems that I caused that incident. It seems that they did all that because of me.”

“But in fact, you are very innocent,” the chief said. “I know many people scold you, but you are an innocent victim. You studied medicine to save people. I did not expect that you would become someone else’s target.”

When the chief heard the words that reproached Jiang Yao, he was so angry that he stomped his feet. The chief wanted to use the word unruly to describe those people who were disrespectful.

“For the sake of the 300 hostages and the lives of my roommates, I have no choice but to go. Even if I’m not in good health now, I still have to go. Even if I have to crawl there, I’ll still go.” Jiang Yao laughed self-deprecatingly. “If I don’t go, other people will always scold my family. Some of them don’t think much of my life.”

The chief was speechless because Jiang Yao was right.

It was one thing when Jiang Yao had disappeared. However, she had returned. She would be fine, even if she did not go. Unfortunately, her family in her hometown would suffer. Their neighbors would probably attack them. The hostages’ families might force them into a corner.

The chief wanted to comfort Jiang Yao, but he could not find any words to do that. No matter how much he said at that time, it would be useless.

“Chief, I’ll go. It’s not because I’m afraid of people blaming me, but because I’m willing to use myself to exchange for the lives of 300 people. Anyone can calculate such a simple arithmetic problem.” Jiang Yao pretended to shrug her shoulders casually. “It’s a good deal.”

The chief’s eyes reddened when he heard Jiang Yao’s tone. Then, he said, “It’s not about one person versus 300 people. It’s about two lives against 300 people. You and the unborn child in your stomach.”

Jiang Yao lowered her head and touched her stomach lovingly. The corners of her lips curled upward. She did not say anything. After a moment of silence, she said, “I will go, but I have a request. I want them to release my roommates first. And they must give us Qian Yunen. He had committed so many unforgivable crimes in our country. He must be judged by the law! I want to go with my husband and my two bodyguards. When we reach their territory, we will also be together.”

Those requests were slightly changed when Jiang Yao discussed them with Lu Xingzhi before she took a nap. Before they left, Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao analyzed the importance of Qian Yunen. When Jiang Yao arrived at their territory, they might not be willing to agree to that condition.

“I don’t think it will be difficult for them to release your roommates or for your husband to go with you. But it might be a bit challenging to get Qian Yunen,” the chief said.

“Are they allowed to make things difficult for us, but we can’t do the same to them? They sent us their requests, so why can’t we send them ours? Do they want to keep Qian Yunen, or do they want me to treat the person they want to save? We also have to tell them that we want Qian Yunen alive, not dead..”
