Chapter 799 Frowning
Qi Tongwei was sitting in the living room, frowning, carefully sorting out the evidence in his hands. Suddenly, a rapid phone ring broke the silence. Liang Lu heard the sound in the kitchen, quickly wiped her hands, walked quickly into the living room and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" Liang Lu's voice was a little doubtful. The voice from the other end of the phone made her face turn pale instantly, and the hand holding the phone trembled slightly. "Tongwei, it's for you." Liang Lu's voice was a little trembling, and her eyes were full of worry and anxiety.
Qi Tongwei stood up, walked quickly to the phone, and took the receiver. A deep and serious voice came from the other end of the phone, telling him that an extremely special and dangerous situation had occurred in the far northwest desert area. A mysterious group calling themselves Mahala people and an unknown force similar to "Dongsheng Longteng" were creating chaos there. Their actions had seriously threatened the lives and safety of local residents and might even cause a wider crisis. Qi Tongwei was ordered by his superiors to go there immediately and use his abilities and experience to help deal with the crisis.
Qi Tongwei's heart sank after hearing this, as he knew very well how difficult and dangerous this task was. After hanging up the phone, he turned to look at Liang Lu and Liang Qunfeng who had just walked out of the room, and briefly recounted the whole story.
"No, absolutely not!" Liang Lu's voice suddenly rose, and her eyes quickly filled with tears. "You finally got back on track, and your family just settled down, and you want to take risks again? What do those Mahala people have to do with us? It's too dangerous, I can't let you go!" Liang Lu was emotional, and her voice was filled with tears. She held Qi Tongwei's arm tightly, as if he would disappear if she let go.
Liang Qunfeng's face also became solemn. He was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Tongwei, I understand your mission and responsibility, but this is too sudden. You have just made progress in your work, and your family can't do without you. Besides, this sounds like a clueless melee. We don't know where these Mahala people came from. If you go, you will put yourself in great danger." Liang Qunfeng's eyes were full of concern and worry. Although he understood Qi Tongwei's responsibilities, as a family member, he really didn't want to see Qi Tongwei take risks again.
Qi Tongwei looked at his excited wife and worried father-in-law, feeling mixed emotions. "I know you are worried about me, and I am reluctant to leave this home. But this is an order, and the situation over there is critical, I have to go." Qi Tongwei's voice was firm and helpless, he gently held Liang Lu's hand, trying to calm her down.
"But..." Liang Lu wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted by Qi Tongwei.
"Lulu, I promise you, I will come back safely. I will be careful. I cannot let my family down, nor can I let this responsibility down." Qi Tongwei's eyes revealed a firm determination, and were also full of attachment to his family.
Liang Qunfeng looked at Qi Tongwei and sighed: "Tongwei, since you have made up your mind, we can't stop you. But you must remember that your family is waiting for you to come back, and you must be safe." Liang Qunfeng patted Qi Tongwei's shoulder, his eyes full of expectation.
In the following time, Qi Tongwei began to urgently prepare his luggage, and Liang Lu silently helped him pack his clothes, with tears dripping on the clothes in her hands from time to time. Qi Tongwei looked at his busy wife, feeling full of guilt. He walked up and gently hugged Liang Lu from behind: "Lulu, I'm sorry to make you worry again."
Liang Lu turned around and hugged Qi Tongwei tightly: "You must keep your word and come back safely. The children and I cannot live without you."
Qi Tongwei felt mixed emotions when listening to Liang Lu's words. An idea became stronger in his mind. He let go of Liang Lu, put his hands on her shoulders, and said seriously: "Lulu, I want you to go with me."
Liang Lu thought she had heard it wrong. She looked at Qi Tongwei in disbelief. It took her several seconds to react. She waved her hands quickly and said, "What are you talking about? I'm just saying that I'm worried about you. You go by yourself. I won't go." Her eyes were full of fear and resistance, and her body shrank back unconsciously.
Qi Tongwei thought Liang Lu was joking, and he tried to persuade her: "Lulu, I'm serious. Although the battlefield is cruel, husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and I don't want to be separated from you. And I'm also worried about your safety. I'll feel more at ease if you go with me." His tone was sincere and his eyes were full of expectation.
Liang Lu became anxious and raised her voice and said, "Are you crazy? How can I go to that kind of place? I'm scared. I'm just an ordinary woman. I have to take care of the children and guard this home. How can you make such an unreasonable request?" Her face turned red and she became emotional.
Qi Tongwei's face gradually became gloomy. He didn't understand why Liang Lu was so resistant. "Unreasonable request? I'm considering our future. You said you were worried about me, but you were unwilling to face difficulties with me. What's this?" His voice also rose unconsciously, and the anger in his heart began to burn.
"If I don't want to go, it means I won't worry about you? How can you think that?" Liang Lu cried aggrievedly, tears streaming down her face. "Do you know what it means to go to the battlefield? It's a place where you can lose your life at any time. I don't want to die. I also want to watch the children grow up." She cried and loudly expressed her worries and fears.
Qi Tongwei couldn't listen. He was filled with anger and disappointment after being rejected. "You are just afraid of death! When I needed you the most, you backed off. You don't understand me at all!" His words became sharp, like a sharp blade stabbing Liang Lu.
Liang Lu was even more hurt by Qi Tongwei's words. She cried even harder and retorted while crying: "You said I'm afraid of death? I work hard for this family every day and worry about you, but you say that to me. It's your choice to take the risk, why do you have to drag me into it?" Her body trembled slightly with excitement, and her eyes were full of pain after being injured.
The two of them argued back and forth, the noise getting louder and louder, neither of them willing to give in. The atmosphere in the room was as tense as the depression before a storm, and the air seemed to be frozen.
At this time, Liang Qunfeng heard the quarrel and hurried down from upstairs. Seeing his daughter's face full of tears, he felt distressed and immediately walked to Liang Lu, protecting her behind him, looking at Qi Tongwei and questioning: "Tongwei, what are you doing? Why did you make Lulu cry?"
Qi Tongwei was still angry and said loudly: "Dad, I wanted Lulu to go with me to deal with this crisis, but she refused to do so and said that I was being unreasonable."
