Chapter 53: Battle Suit

Jiang Miao “fell”, Tanaka hadn’t done anything yet, Joe rushed over: “Bastard! Don’t touch her!” He had the air of a hero coming to the rescue.

He even swung his bound hands and punched the lackey who pushed Jiang Miao, knocking him to the ground. It wasn’t until the boss pulled out a gun and shouted, “Stop! Don’t move!”

Jiang Miao, lying on the ground, couldn’t care less about pretending to be weak anymore, and hurriedly whispered, “Joe! Don’t be impulsive! I’m fine!”

Joe looked at her worriedly, then turned to the kidnappers and said angrily, “Don’t you dare touch her!”

“Boss! Are we taking this guy with us too?” The lackey covering his face asked as he got up.

The boss said, “He’s not on the list, throw him out and don’t make trouble for us.”

“Do you want us to kill him?” The lackey asked.

“Don’t cause trouble,” the boss said, “just throw him out somewhere where there’s no one.”

Tanaka said, “Don’t mention it! Joe and I were having a great time, then we met this young couple, and we thought the four of us could…”

“…” Jiang Miao, “!!!”

She thought that stuff like a foursome was just nonsense the kidnappers made up to lure Tanaka here!

She was indeed too naive!

“No no no, we just wanted to, but we were kidnapped before anything happened!” Tanaka said, “That couple are just scammers, they took their money and tricked us into coming here!”

So, if it wasn’t for the scammers, you would have already been happily having a foursome, right.

“No, you’re focusing on the wrong point, hey!” Tanaka had to change the subject, “By the way, you actually wore the ‘Invincible Battle Robe’!”

“It’s called ‘When I’m Kidnapped,’ thank you.”

“That name is not even a noun!”

“All things can be used as names, don’t worry about its part of speech. As long as the namer’s score can surpass others, it’s fine.”

Tanaka was suddenly speechless.

Just like Yan He, who, despite being a physical type, still boxed when pregnant, Jiang Miao and Tanaka, as the brainy types, naturally had their own way of playing.

When high IQ brains gather together, inevitably they’ll come up with all sorts of absurd ideas and uses.

This piece of battle armor named “When I’m Kidnapped” was one such product. The idea stemmed from a certain doctor saying, “Valuable talents like us are most afraid of being kidnapped.”

Others chimed in, “Yeah, we should provide ourselves with appropriate protective measures.”

So the idea of making everyday wearable battle armor was born.

After everyone contributed ideas and relevant technology, the battle armor was created, and the doctors fought tooth and nail for the naming rights, arguing endlessly.

“Diamond Armor!”

“Invincible Battle Robe!”

“Supreme King’s Garment!”

In the end, Jiang Miao, who couldn’t stand it anymore, slammed the table, “Let’s go by research paper score rankings! The person with the highest score names it!”

This was akin to speaking to the toughest guy in the ring, just like Yan He and his crew.

But after everyone listened, they all fell silent. Then, after exchanging glances, they spoke one after another—

“Only look at scores from the past three years!”

“No, it should be based on a person’s total score!”

“We should only count first author papers!”

Just like in the ancient Earth days when the International Table Tennis Federation changed rules every day just to restrain China, the various ranking methods proposed by these people had only one purpose, to restrict Dr. Jiang Miao.

Unfortunately, no matter what ranking method they used, Dr. Jiang Miao’s score remained firmly in the first place.

Even more embarrassing was that Jiang Miao didn’t care about the naming rights as much as they did. Giving this anti-kidnapping battle armor a ridiculous name was just making a fool of themselves.

Dr. Jiang Miao, who originally wanted to say she wouldn’t participate in the ranking, was amused by these guys’ petty calculations.

“Since I’m the first, then let me name it. Let’s call it…” Jiang Miao chuckled and said, “‘When I’m Kidnapped’.”

The doctors: “…”

The doctors exploded!

“This isn’t even a noun!”

“This violates the naming rules!”

“Oh my, this name is so awkward!”

Dr. Jiang Miao looked into the distance, “Then let’s publish more papers and reclaim the naming rights.”

The doctors were speechless.

Dr. Jiang Miao gazed into the distance tranquilly.

Ah, six thousand years later, the feeling of forcing OCD to post seven photos in a friend circle again!

That’s just how naughty she is!

Tanaka was once again left speechless. He irritably changed the subject, “What’s with your rainbow hair and pink eyelashes?”

Jiang Miao was even more annoyed!

“If it weren’t for your terrible taste making this outfit look like this, would I need to dye my hair like this to match the clothes?”

She always had black long hair, either tied up into a ponytail or a bun when working, looking neat and competent. At home, Yan He liked to see her with her hair flowing over her shoulders, especially after she just finished bathing, running his fingers through her slightly rough hair.

But that kind of hair didn’t match “When I’m Kidnapped” at all. It looked very out of place and would immediately raise suspicions!

Dr. Jiang Miao sacrificed her personal image to come and rescue Dr. Tanaka, so Tanaka should appreciate it a bit!

Fine, Tanaka shrunk back and asked, “What about the rescue team?”

“They’re waiting for me to send a message,” Jiang Miao said.

The signal jammer had just been turned off and received into the shielding shell, so when they met, the other party scanned her with a scanner and didn’t notice it.

“Then hurry up, let’s figure out a way to deal with this first.” Tanaka raised his hands, bound with ties. “Do you have anything sharp on you to cut this…?”

Snap!

Jiang Miao flexed her wrist, and the tie snapped.

Tanaka: “…” Well, that works.

After breaking the tie on Tanaka’s hands, Jiang Miao reached for the fourth button of “When I’m Kidnapped,” intending to tear it off, but Tanaka caught her wrist, asking nervously, “Are you sure it’s this one?”

Only one of those buttons was a signal transmitter, the others… were mini bombs. All the buttons were shielded, so no matter what kind of scanner you used, it wouldn’t detect them.

“It’s this one,” Jiang Miao said calmly, “Don’t you remember? At that time, everyone argued fiercely about which button to put the signal transmitter on. In the end, most people agreed that the first and second buttons were too obvious and might fall off when the kidnappers grabbed the collar to commit violence, while the fourth button was the least conspicuous and relatively safe.”

“It seems so. I got drunk that day, and then I kind of forgot, but I remember Alan and Powell fought after arguing about this, pulling each other’s hair.” Tanaka said.

Jiang Miao unfastened the fourth button, and with a pinch, the round shell of the button popped open, revealing a signal transmitter the size of a fingernail inside.

Jiang Miao activated the signal transmitter, but it emitted a red micro-light.

“It’s being shielded,” Jiang Miao frowned, “They’ve activated a shield. We need to disable the shield first before we can do anything.”

Just as she finished speaking, they both suddenly felt a slight weight in their bodies, like the sensation of riding an elevator going up.

The room had no windows on any side, and both of them had been blindfolded and brought here, so they didn’t know where they were. But at this moment, Jiang Miao and Tanaka looked at each other and said in unison, “This is bad!”

It turned out they were inside a spaceship! And it was already in flight!

“Quick! We must disable the shield and send out a signal so that the military can locate us!” Jiang Miao walked quickly towards the door.

The metal door was tightly shut and locked from the outside.

Tanaka said anxiously, “But how do we get out…”

Zzzzz—A sharp sound echoed.

The slender and frail Dr. Jiang, with both hands gripping the middle of the door seam, exerted force to both sides, forcibly creating a gap between the two metal doors.

Tanaka: “…”

Well, that works.

Indeed, it was a spaceship. As the two of them left the cabin where they had been imprisoned, they hadn’t gone far in the corridor before two men turned the corner from the opposite direction.

The two men were startled, their instinctive reaction being to draw their guns and point them at Jiang Miao and Tanaka.

A yellow light shield with a diameter of about one meter lit up, enclosing Jiang Miao and Tanaka within it.

With limited space, Tanaka quickly stepped forward, half embracing Jiang Miao from behind, clutching her shoulders tightly, and nervously shouting, “What’s the point of activating this! This thing is useless!”
