Chapter 478 The Call of Family
Zhang Long and Cuicui also noticed the change in Qi Tongwei. They knew that Qi Tongwei must be recalling the dream, and they began to think about the meaning of the dream. They felt that the dream might be a warning, reminding them to always be vigilant and guard against possible dangers.
In the following days, Qi Tongwei discussed the dream with Zhang Long and Cuicui while recovering from his injuries. They tried to find some clues from the dream so that they could better cope with future challenges. They analyzed every detail, guessed the meaning of the mysterious symbols, and pondered the source of the crystal ball's power.
After some discussion, they came to a conclusion: the dream might be a sign of what might happen in the future. They decided that after Qi Tongwei recovered, they would go to find the place in the dream together to see if there really was any evil force.
Although Qi Tongwei was somewhat worried about this decision, he also knew that they could not just sit there and wait for death. If the dream was really a sign, then they must prepare in advance to deal with possible dangers. He decided to face this challenge bravely, for himself and for the peace of the world.
As Qi Tongwei gradually recovered, they began to prepare for the adventure. They prepared enough food, water and equipment, and also studied some possible dangers and coping methods.
At this moment, Liang Lu suddenly called and said she had compromised. The second son no longer had the surname Liang, but could take the eldest son's surname Qi.
On the other end of the phone, Qi Tongwei listened to Liang Lu's sobbing voice, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He had never thought that the always strong Liang Lu would have such a fragile side. Her compromise and her decision on the child's surname made Qi Tongwei feel soft-hearted.
He held the phone tightly, and the lovely face of his second son appeared in his mind. That was his blood and the continuation of his life. Qi Tongwei knew that as a father, he had an unshirkable responsibility for his children. However, at this moment, he was faced with a difficult choice.
On one side is the call of family, and on the other side is the unknown adventure and the mission of saving the world. Qi Tongwei fell into a deep contradiction. He looked at Zhang Long and Cuicui who were full of expectation beside him. Their eyes were full of determination and courage. They were ready to sacrifice themselves for another adventure, just waiting for Qi Tongwei's order.
"Brother Qi, should we set off now?" Zhang Long asked softly. Qi Tongwei remained silent, struggling fiercely in his heart. Cuicui seemed to see his entanglement, and she said softly: "Brother Qi, if you have difficulties, we can understand. After all, family is also important."
Qi Tongwei sighed and said, "I know family is important, but if we don't find the man in black and stop the evil forces, the world may fall into a greater crisis. I can't just take care of my own little family and ignore everyone else."
Zhang Long and Cuicui nodded, they understood Qi Tongwei's difficulties. They also knew that this adventure was not only for themselves, but also for countless innocent lives.
Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and said to the phone: "Liang Lu, I know you are very sad now, but I can't go back. I have my mission, I must stop the evil forces. When I complete the mission, I will come back and make it up to you."
Liang Lu on the other end of the phone cried even louder. She choked and said, "Qi Tongwei, are you so cruel? You don't even want your own son?" Qi Tongwei felt a pain in his heart. He said, "Liang Lu, I'm not cruel, I just have no choice. I can't watch this world being destroyed by evil forces. Don't worry, I will protect myself and come back as soon as possible."
After saying that, Qi Tongwei hung up the phone. There was a firm light in his eyes, and he knew that he had made the right choice.
After Qi Tongwei hung up the phone, Liang Lu at home completely collapsed. She originally thought that her compromise and crying would make Qi Tongwei change his mind, but reality slapped her hard in the face. She couldn't accept that Qi Tongwei chose to leave again to pursue the unknown adventure full of danger.
Liang Lu's eyes widened, tears pouring out like a flood. Her face was pale, her lips trembling, anger, grievance and despair intertwined in her heart. She suddenly grabbed a vase beside her and smashed it to the ground. The vase shattered instantly, making a crisp sound, and the fragments flew everywhere.
"Qi Tongwei! How could you do this to me! How could you do this to our children!" Liang Lu screamed hysterically. Her voice echoed in the empty room, full of pain and despair. She saw the dishes on the table again and swept them to the ground without hesitation. The sound of the dishes breaking came one after another, as if telling of her broken heart.
Liang Qunfeng watched his daughter break down like this, feeling distressed. He had never seen Liang Lu lose her composure like this before. She had always been that proud and confident woman, but now she had become so vulnerable because of Qi Tongwei. Liang Qunfeng walked over, wanting to comfort his daughter, but he didn't know where to start.
"Lulu, don't do this, you'll ruin your body." Liang Qunfeng said softly. But Liang Lu didn't listen at all, she continued to vent her emotions. She paced back and forth in the room, waving her hands constantly, as if to release all the pain in her heart.
"Dad, why do you think he is so cruel? Does he just ignore us?" Liang Lu asked while crying. Liang Qunfeng sighed and said, "Lulu, Qi Tongwei has his own difficulties. Maybe he really wants something more important."
"More important things? What's more important than our family? What's more important than his child?" Liang Lu retorted angrily. Liang Qunfeng shook his head helplessly, knowing that nothing he said now would calm his daughter's anger.
Liang Lu sat on the ground, hugged her knees, and burst into tears. Her cry was full of despair and helplessness, which made people feel heartbroken. She thought of every little bit of their past, but those beautiful memories now became so pale and powerless. She didn't understand why Qi Tongwei would give up their family so easily.
Liang Qunfeng stayed by his daughter's side silently, his heart full of helplessness and worry. He knew that his daughter had suffered a great blow this time and needed time to recover slowly. He was also dissatisfied with Qi Tongwei's choice, but he could understand Qi Tongwei's sense of responsibility and mission.
As time went by, Liang Lu's crying gradually subsided. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was covered with tear marks. She leaned against the wall tiredly, staring blankly ahead.
