Chapter 1504: He Wondered If His Past Actions Towards Jiang Yuning Had Gone Overboard

Nian Junting gasped in shock.

“How did he survive for ten days and ten nights?”

In the past, when Nian Junting was a soldier, he had participated in rescue missions during earthquakes and had witnessed numerous tragic scenarios. Many people had died from starvation or dehydration, simply because they were not rescued on time or because the rescue work could not be executed properly. It was already a miracle to be alive for a week.

“It was said that… he drank his pee, blood, and also the dirty water that flowed down when it rained.” Lu Kang’s supple lips felt dry when he said that. He had seen Jiang Yuning before, and he could hardly imagine that a delicate and well-groomed man like him had experienced such a terrible thing.

“By the time the rescue team found him, he had already been staying in a pitch-black area for ten days and was not exposed to any light at all. He was huddled below the concrete iron, and he was as thin as a bag of bones. They rushed him to the hospital and managed to save his life, but he has become autistic since then. He wouldn’t speak or interact with anyone,” Lu Kang recounted softly. “His world only revolved around learning physics and astronomy. It’s not that hard to imagine. A normal person would likely have chosen to die if he were to live under such terrible circumstances for ten days.”

Nian Junting rubbed the area between his brows and considered viewing Jiang Yuning in a new light.

It was probably also difficult for someone like him, who had good mental caliber and physical fitness, to be put through such an ordeal. Even if he did make it through, he would likely have gone mad.

As this thought flashed across his mind, Nian Junting wondered if his past actions towards Jiang Yuning had gone overboard.

He was generally uncaring towards others, but he admired people who could put up with hardships.

“Oh, right! Why did the lab explode?” Nian Junting suddenly asked.

“An international organization called ‘TOX’ was said to be responsible for it. This organization was involved in many high-tech crimes,” Lu Kang explained. “Back then, an insider said that it was likely because they wanted to obtain the information on how to resurrect the Cuvieronius elephant so that they could repeatedly breed the species and sell its bones at a high price. Imagine the amount of money that this prehistoric animal could bring.”

“So it was them!” Nian Junting said as he slammed his hands on the table. “I’ve heard of this organization when I was on a mission back then in the army. They committed many atrocities and were subsequently destroyed. I’ve heard the people in the police department mention that they had a hand behind Nian Xi’s injury this time. It seems like they’ve resurfaced again.”

“If this is true, then I suppose Miss Nian’s injury has something to do with Mr. Jiang.” Lu Kang’s tone carried a hint of worry. “Should we inform her about this?”

“What’s the point in telling her?” Nian Junting replied coldly. “Will she leave Jiang Yuning just because she knows that it’s dangerous to be with him? At this point, she may stick to him even more closely to protect him, even though she’s already walking with a limp. TOX certainly wants to get something out of Jiang Yuning, but they know that he won’t give it to them. As a result, they’re now targeting the people around him as a form of warning.”

“What should we do then? Are they going to make a move on Miss Nian again?” Lu Kang became anxious. “These people are too lawless. She’s a cop, and she has the Nian Family’s support.”

“They must have hidden well if they dared to do this. Besides, nobody has picked up on anything before this. We even thought that this was a normal case of kidnapping.”

Nian Junting shook his head. “This matter is beyond us. We can only leave it to Interpol. We know nothing of the number of people in Xia City who are part of this organization, as well as their identities and social standing. I believe that the person called Han, who hangs around Jiang Yuning, is also not a fool. He should be prepared. We only need to protect Nian Xi from danger, and the lesser she knows, the better. Isn’t it good for her to be carefree like how she is now?”
