Chapter 2340: Seems A Little Worse

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Yao’s face was solemn. “If they disagree, we will be stuck in a stalemate. There is no reason why we should always cave. For once, we should be tough. We will fight to the death. How many people are there in their entire organization? How many soldiers does our country have in total? We will see if their killing speed is faster than our rescue speed. Fine, we will sacrifice those 300 people to destroy their entire organization! How many martyrs did we sacrifice before our country was founded?”

Jiang Yao’s words were standard and made people’s blood boil. If the chief had been a few decades younger and a young boy who had just joined the army, Jiang Yao would have incited him at that moment.

A single martyrdom sentence had directly resulted in the deaths of over 300 people and was so extreme that no one could refute it.

It sounded very pa.s.sionate at first, but when he came back to his senses and thought about it carefully, he realized it was too tragic.

More than 300 lives would be lost—not 30 lives.

That was the period of peace, not war. In a peaceful era, more than 300 lives lost would demonstrate that country’s incompetence and inability to protect its citizens.

“I will tell the higher-ups what you suggested.” The chief nodded, then turned to Lu Xingzhi, who had been silent the whole time, and said, “I swear to you and your wife that the country will not give up on rescuing you! We will do our best to bring you back home as soon as possible.”

The chief told Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao that the country had not abandoned them; their sacrifice was in exchange for more lives. That was a delaying tactic, but the country would undoubtedly rescue them.

They had already said what they needed to say. Looking at Jiang Yao’s frail appearance, the chief told the two to go back and rest. He also thought that if he could delay them for another two days, he would do that. Lu Xingzhi’s injuries had yet to recover; Jiang Yao’s body was also weak. It would be good if they could rest for another two days.

After they went back, Lu Xingzhi started to get busy. His calls became more frequent, and he was even busy in the middle of the night. Jiang Yao dragged Moe along and talked for a long time. She thought that Moe would admit defeat. She did not expect him to be so excited after listening to her. He kept saying that he had long wanted to change places to stay for a while. He had found it boring to be in the army base every day.

“When you get there, don’t treat him too quickly. You can treat him slowly. I’ll explore the place every day. No matter how big the place is, it won’t take long for me to figure it out. By then, it’ll be much more convenient for you to do whatever you want.” Moe’s tail was almost wagging in the air. His eyes were filled with excitement. “If anyone dares to hurt you, I’ll blind them with my claws.”

The following day, Mrs. Jiang went out to buy some vegetables. Jiang Yao told her to buy two chicken drumsticks to reward Moe, who would be a great contributor in the future. Moe was so happy that he was in high spirits for the whole day.

She did not look well and was not in good spirits, so everyone knew her health had deteriorated. During dinner, she smiled, drank a bowl of soup, and returned to her room. She still appeared to be coughing nonstop, which made everyone concerned.

“Colonel Lu, Mrs. Lu seems to be a little worse after returning home.”

Zhou Junmin’s nose soured. “Is she okay? I heard from the chief that she promised to exchange herself for the 300 hostages.. Can she make the journey in her condition?”
