Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 752 - 740 Preparing to Escape_2
Chapter 752: Chapter 740 Preparing to Escape_2
"Yes," Qiao Jing raised an eyebrow, "what else?"
Her face was calm and composed, but George was once again deeply shocked.
Being able to produce an anesthetic spray with such limited materials, and on the fly, was beyond the capability of someone who wasn’t well-versed in medicine!
Therefore, his master’s talents weren’t limited to agriculture; he surely had exceptional achievements in the field of medicine as well!
"You must be careful when you make your move."
Before leaving, Qiao Jing particularly reminded George.
Whether the plan succeeded was secondary; she didn’t want to implicate George.
"Don’t worry, Master, I’ll be cautious," George said.
With that, he secured the anesthetic spray and turned to leave.
Afterwards, George tried his best to appear loyal in front of John, continuing to let John lower his guard.
At the same time, he was looking for the right opportunity to drug the guards at the port.
Two days went by like this, and on a dark and windy night, George finally found the right moment to act.
He had prepared food and fine wine in advance, lacing them with Qiao Jing’s homemade anesthetic spray, and then brought the food and drink to the port.
However, as soon as George approached, he was stopped by the people guarding the port.
The person who stopped him was a captain of the Guard Team. The captain frowned and said sternly, "George, what are you doing here so late at night?"
"You’d better not keep coming here for no reason; this place is off-limits on the island. Mr. John has given orders that no one but the guards can approach."
George had indeed been coming here frequently these past days, aiming to make his face familiar to the guards.
Clearly, his objective had been achieved; they had gone from initially rebuking him sharply to now speaking with him properly.
George chuckled with a tinge of scorn, holding up the food and wine in his hand, "I just thought you guys must be tired from standing guard, so I brought some food and wine to show some appreciation."
The captain glanced at the things in George’s hands, his expression still serious, "We appreciate the gesture."
"But as you know, we’re on duty, and if we shirk our responsibilities and something goes wrong, Mr. John won’t spare us."
"So, you’d better leave quickly!"
The others chimed in, "Yeah, you should leave now, so you don’t get us into trouble and we all end up paying for it."
George snorted softly, his face full of disdain, "What’s there to be afraid of? Not only am I Mr. John’s favorite right now, but I’m also the famous Professor Qiao’s apprentice."
"Perhaps in the near future, I’ll be a big shot in M country’s agriculture. By then, if Mr. John wants to develop the agricultural economy, he’ll have to rely on me!"
George spoke convincingly and purposely put on an arrogant air, making the guards fully believe what he said.
After all, George’s standing in the research institute had indeed been on the rise during this period.
This was something everyone on the island knew.
Seeing them wavering, George quickly seized the moment and continued, "Don’t worry. It’s so late now, everyone else is asleep; nothing will go wrong."
At these words, everyone looked towards the captain, waiting for him to make a decision.
After thinking it over, the captain suddenly felt that George made a lot of sense.
If George had indeed inherited Professor Qiao’s expertise and truly became an agricultural mogul in M country, then even Mr. John would have to treat him with great regard.
If he started building a good relationship with George now, perhaps he could benefit from George’s success later on!
With this thought, the captain deviated from his usual stern demeanor, put on a smile, and took George by the shoulder.
"I can’t refuse such kindness. Since you’ve taken the trouble, we might as well have a few drinks with you. Just remember us brothers when you make it big," the captain said after making up his mind.
Following the captain’s lead, the other men crowded around George, fawning over him.
"Yeah, yeah, Brother Qiao, when you rise to power, you’ve got to look out for us," one person added.
"Right, Brother Qiao, whether we can enjoy the finer things in life for the second half of our lives depends on you now," another said.
"..."
George said with a smile, "Don’t worry, if I have a bit of meat to eat, you’ll have some soup to drink. Come on, let’s go drink."
He spoke while walking toward the pavilion nearby.
The captain of the Guard Team was arm in arm with him.
The others followed closely behind.
At the same time, in the laboratory.
Qiao Jing was aware of the action George was going to take tonight.
But she was unclear about the situation on the ground, so she couldn’t help but worry.
If Mr. John and Frank found out, George would be in great danger.
Or rather, should he be discovered, George certainly wouldn’t come to a good end!
Thinking about this, Qiao Jing became increasingly restless.
Forty minutes had passed since George’s operation commenced, and she had no idea if things were going smoothly...
As Qiao Jing anxiously awaited the outcome, at the port, George was keeping the guards busy with drinks.
"Come on, keep drinking, tonight we won’t stop until we’re drunk!"
"No, no way, I can’t drink anymore, I feel a bit drunk."
The captain held his head, swaying slightly, appearing as if he could collapse at any moment.
The state of the other men was similar.
"Yeah, we can’t drink anymore, we still need to guard the port. If we keep drinking, we’ll make a mistake."
"This liquor’s aftereffect is too strong, I only had two drinks, how come I’m feeling so tipsy?"
"I feel the same, Brother Qiao, what kind of drink is this?"
A cunning gleam flashed in George’s eyes, yet he kept smiling, "Drink up, drink up, it’s okay, if anything happens, I’ll cover for you!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than people in the pavilion began to collapse one by one.
In less than two minutes, all of the guards had been laid out flat.
After making sure they were all unconscious, George rushed towards the laboratory to inform Qiao Jing of the news.
Right then, Qiao Jing was pacing back and forth in the laboratory, her concern for George growing deeper.
Just when she felt she could no longer wait, George finally appeared.
Seeing George unharmed, Qiao Jing instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
In a hushed voice and at breakneck speed, George said, "Master, the people at the port have been sedated by me. Now, in the dead of night, the men outside the laboratory have let their guard down, we should hurry and leave."
Based on his observations over the past two days, the port was on a continuous guard, and a shift change would happen in thirty minutes.
Therefore, they had to leave within these thirty minutes. Otherwise, once the relief shift arrived, they would notice something was wrong.
If that happened, their plan would fall through!
Qiao Jing, having heard this from George before, knew they couldn’t delay. She decisively said, "Let’s go, lead the way."
"Okay," George responded and began to walk out.
Qiao Jing followed immediately behind him.
Soon, they arrived at the port.
Those who had been sedated were scattered on the ground, showing no sign of waking, which showed just how potent Qiao Jing’s anesthetic spray was.
George boarded the small cruise ship docked at the shore first and then waved to Qiao Jing, saying in a low voice, "Master, hurry on board."
Once Qiao Jing was aboard, she went straight to the cockpit.
She first swept a glance over the control panel and then turned her attention to George as he followed in. She asked, "Where’s the key?"
