Chapter 804 1 Daughters
Suddenly, a figure walked out of the darkness. It was a man wearing a black mask and a hat, and his face could not be seen clearly.
"Have you brought the money?" the man asked coldly. Qi Tongwei threw the bag of money over, "Where are the things?" The man opened the bag, confirmed the amount of money, and took out an envelope from his arms and threw it to Qi Tongwei. Qi Tongwei hurriedly opened it, and inside were some blurry photos and documents. The people in the photos turned out to be Liang Lu and Ma Longlong, and the documents were some records of their close contact.
"What do you want to do?" Qi Tongwei asked angrily. The man sneered, "I just can't stand some people destroying other people's families and still getting away with it. If you don't want these things to be exposed and ruin your reputation, prepare another 500,000 yuan. I'll be here again in a week." After saying that, the man disappeared into the darkness.
Qi Tongwei returned home, feeling extremely depressed. He looked at the smiling faces of Liang Lu and the children, and his heart was filled with pain and entanglement. He didn't know whether he should tell Liang Lu about this. On the one hand, he hated Liang Lu's betrayal, but on the other hand, he didn't want her to be hurt, and he didn't want the children to lose their complete family.
In the following days, Qi Tongwei raised money everywhere. He did not dare to use public funds and could only borrow from some friends. However, his friends noticed his abnormality and asked him the reason. He could only perfunctorily answer. Liang Lu also found that something was wrong with Qi Tongwei. He was always worried and absent-minded about family affairs.
Finally, one night, Liang Lu couldn't help asking, "Tongwei, what's wrong with you recently? Did something happen at work? Don't carry it alone, let's find a solution together." Qi Tongwei looked at Liang Lu's concerned eyes, hesitated for a long time, and decided to tell her about it.
After hearing this, Liang Lu turned pale and burst into tears. "Tongwei, I'm sorry. It's all because of me that you've been in so much trouble." She cried, "Let's call the police. We can't let that person succeed." Qi Tongwei shook his head, "If we call the police, these photos and documents will be exposed, my career will be over, and this family will be completely ruined."
The two fell into silence, not knowing what to do. At this moment, Liang Qunfeng walked in. He noticed something was wrong with the two and after asking, he learned the whole story. Liang Qunfeng pondered for a moment and said, "I know some people who may be able to help. Let's not panic and not be easily led by this mysterious man."
With the help of Liang Qunfeng, they began to secretly investigate the identity of the mysterious man. After some twists and turns, they found that the mysterious man was actually a creditor of Ma Longlong, who owed him a large sum of money and could not pay it back, so he came up with this method to blackmail Qi Tongwei.
After knowing the other party's identity, Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu decided to take the initiative. They met with Ma Longlong and told him what happened. Ma Longlong was shocked and angry when he learned about it. He said he would find a way to solve the matter. It turned out that although Ma Longlong had a relationship with Liang Lu, he did not want to bring such a big disaster to Liang Lu's family because of his own affairs.
Ma Longlong raised money everywhere and finally paid off the creditor's money before the deadline of one week. After receiving the money, the creditor promised not to harass Qi Tongwei's family anymore and handed over all the photos and documents.
After this storm, Qi Tongwei and Liang Lu were both exhausted, but their relationship had undergone subtle changes in this crisis. They no longer blamed and resented each other as before, but began to face the difficulties in life together.
Qi Tongwei also realized that the past cannot be changed and the important thing is to cherish the present.
The night was dark, like a heavy lead sheet pressing on Qi Tongwei's heart. The family debt crisis had just passed, and before he and Liang Lu had time to catch their breath, their lives were once again ruthlessly disrupted.
Qi Tongwei was sitting on the sofa, rubbing his temples tiredly, trying to dispel the fatigue and anxiety of the past few days. Suddenly, the doorbell rang urgently, and the sound was particularly abrupt and harsh in the silent house. He stood up and walked to the door with heavy steps. The moment he opened the door, his face turned pale instantly - Gao Xiaoqin was standing at the door, holding a child in her arms.
"Tongwei, this is your daughter, Gao Hua." Gao Xiaoqin's voice broke the deadlock. Her tone was a little tired, but also revealed an unquestionable firmness.
Qi Tongwei felt his head buzz as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer. He stared at the child in Gao Xiaoqin's arms with wide eyes. The child's delicate face was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart. "What are you talking about? I don't remember... We haven't been in touch for many years!" His voice unconsciously rose, with a bit of anger and disbelief.
He looked back at the house in panic, fearing that Liang Lu might hear everything. Fortunately, there was no movement in the house for the time being. He quickly reached out and grabbed Gao Xiaoqin's arm, dragging her out the door, his movements were urgent and rough, as if he was driving away a bomb that could explode at any time.
"Don't talk nonsense! Come out with me!" He lowered his voice and almost roared.
Gao Xiaoqin stumbled a few steps as he pulled her, but she held the child tightly in her arms. When they arrived in the corridor, the dim lights flickered, as if they would go out at any time, adding a sense of absurdity and uneasiness to the chaotic scene.
"Tongwei, how could you do this? This is really your child!" Gao Xiaoqin's eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs.
Qi Tongwei's thoughts were in a mess. He only knew that once Liang Lu knew about this, this family would be completely ruined. He looked at Gao Xiaoqin, his heart full of anger, confusion and fear. "What on earth do you want to do? You haven't contacted me for so many years, and suddenly you show up and say this is my child?" His voice trembled slightly with excitement.
Gao Xiaoqin burst into tears. She pushed the child towards Qi Tongwei and said, "Look at her carefully. She looks so much like you! Do you really not remember what happened back then?"
Qi Tongwei looked at the child's face, trying to find a trace of familiarity, but his mind was in a mess, and the memories of the past were like broken lenses, which he could not piece together. He felt that everything in front of him was so unreal, as if it was a nightmare, but he could not wake up.
The corridor was quiet, with only the heavy breathing of the two of them and the occasional cry of the child. Qi Tongwei's hands fell weakly, and he looked at Gao Xiaoqin with mixed feelings in his heart. At this moment, he didn't know how to face this sudden "truth", and he didn't know how to explain it to Liang Lu.
