Can't Take My Eyes Off You

"I guess they're afraid that we'll find something through the dirt on the soles of your shoes, so they even gave you new shoes," the police officer said in a low voice.

"That's not too bad. Those shoes are obviously expensive. I've earned it." Professor Ouyang patted his chest and sighed as if he had just survived a disaster. Then, he asked, "Those few days were like a dream. Even though they provided us with good food and drinks, we were always afraid that we would be silenced after they were cured. Those people were heartless. Oh, right, where are my students? Are they also in the hospital?"

"We haven't found Miss Jiang yet." The policeman sighed with a troubled face. "Oh, the farmer who found you yesterday also found a bag next to you. It was filled with cash, all in foreign currency."

"Oh, I thought they were just saying there would be compensation." Professor Ouyang sat up straight. "Let me see how much it is. After being tied up for so many days, surely the compensation can't be a small amount."

"No, Professor Ouyang, aren't you worried about your student?" There was something wrong with being so excited about the money. The police looked at Professor Ouyang.

"I'm a little worried. Although I'm Jiang Yao's teacher, she is the student of the Divine Doctor, after all. Her medical skills inherited from the Divine Doctor are not inferior to mine. She is the attending physician for that treatment. I'm her assistant. Since we got paid, it means that her safety shouldn't be a problem. She should be released within the next two days."

Professor Ouyang patiently gave the statements to the two doctors. "I'm not afraid that others will know that my students are more capable than me. Those who are capable are usually lucky. My assistant will come back in one piece. They would give preferential treatment to the attending doctor."

After sending the police away, Professor Ouyang was discharged from the hospital. He refused any interviews with the reporters. However, the reporters still managed to obtain information from the police. The news that Professor Ouyang had been sent back in one piece that afternoon had already spread everywhere.

Lu Xingzhi stayed in Luo City for a day. After seeing that everyone had no doubts about Professor Ouyang's return, he felt much more at ease.

It was impossible to repeat the same trick. After all, Professor Ouyang had been sent back to the place where his car had been found, which had attracted a lot of attention. The entire Luo City had stepped up patrols, and everyone was investigating the people who would be releasing Jiang Yao.

However, to everyone's surprise, Jiang Yao came back via plane. She was discovered when she arrived at the airport. Later, she was escorted out of the airport by two bodyguards and the police.

Lu Xingzhi longed for her when he saw his wife at the police station. When he saw her, he did not have time to say anything before he hugged her tightly in his arms.

Jiang Yao placed her face on Lu Xingzhi's shoulders and wrapped her arms around his waist. She gently patted his shoulders and said softly, "I'm back."

That sentence made the police officers around her cry. Everyone could see that although Colonel Lu's wife had returned, she did not look too good. She looked sickly compared to Professor Ouyang, who had returned the day. However, she was not much worse.

"Miss Jiang, are you injured? Why did you fly back?" The policeman asked worriedly. "You don't look too well."
