The number mentioned by Zhou Junmin was quite optimistic. In fact, he secretly believed for several years that she could treat any complicated disease.

Of course, Zhou Junmin was most concerned about whether his sister-in-law would be killed in retaliation if she did not treat that person.

“Colonel, do you think she will be afraid if she is alone? I don’t know if the kidnappers would treat her well. Now that she is pregnant, she should eat better than the average person. Will those people take good care of her?”

Zhou Junmin could not suppress the worries in his heart.

Over the past few days, everyone felt the colonel’s mood had gotten even more terrifying. His face was always taut, and he would not smile at anyone. The entire troop wished that would change. Some even hoped Lu Xingzhi would stay in the hospital until Jiang Yao returned. The moment he returned, the whole army fell into a strange state of pressure, and no one dared to speak loudly. They also did not dare to joke around. They feared that Lu Xingzhi would hold a grudge against them if he accidentally found out about it.

Unreasonable people would not allow others to be happy if they were unhappy. Lu Xingzhi, Hades Lu, was not a very reasonable person.

“No news is good news.” Lu Xingzhi sat there and twirled the cigarette Zhou Junmin had given him, but he did not intend to light it.

“That’s true.” If there was no corpse, it meant that the person was not dead. If the person was not dead, there was a high chance that they were still alive. Zhou Junmin agreed with that statement.

When Zhou Junmin noticed that the cigarette was nearly ruined in Lu Xingzhi’s hand, he took out a lighter to assist Lu Xingzhi in lighting it. “If you are in a bad mood, smoke a cigarette to make yourself feel better. Do not carry it around with you all the time. It will choke you.”

Lu Xingzhi quickly moved the cigarette and shook his head. “1’ve long given this up. Your sister-in-law doesn’t like the smell of cigarettes on me.”

In the past, Lu Xingzhi was not a heavy smoker. He would only smoke when he was upset or bored. After Jiang Yao became pregnant, the number of times he smoked could be counted on one hand. Jiang Yao had a dog’s nose. If he smoked, she would be able to smell it when he entered the house.

Lu Xingzhi was the most frustrated during Jiang Yao’s period of morning sickness. He did not approach Jiang Yao immediately after smoking behind her back. He had to expel the smoke and wash his hands properly.

“This time, various departments sent so many people to investigate, but they still had no leads. Do you think someone higher up had taken her? If that were not the case, we would have found some clues by now.” Zhou Junmin voiced the speculation in his heart. “If someone influential took her, then that might be why we didn’t get any news. They might have power and men. They might have planned things in advance and executed them flawlessly. They might have been swept away even if they had left some clues. They might even have some men among those investigating this case.”Support our B o n n o v e l.com

Lu Xingzhi was so shocked by Zhou Junmin’s guess that he broke the cigarette in half. That was a good guess. He might have believed him if he had not known about the truth..
