Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 472 Jealousy (2)

"Director Zhong, why are you here?" Qi Tongwei struggled to get up, but accidentally moved the wound on his abdomen, which made him grimace in pain.

"Lie down quickly and don't hurt the wound." Zhong Xiaoai nervously stepped forward to support Qi Tongwei with the demeanor of a little girl.

"I came to see you. After all, you were injured because of me." Zhong Xiaoai said as she rocked the bed so that Qi Tongwei could lie down comfortably.

After returning to the guesthouse last night, Zhong Xiaoai couldn't fall asleep.

Although the hero saving the beauty is cliché, it is the behavior that is most likely to touch a woman's heart besides entering her body.

She admitted that she was moved, otherwise she would not have come here so early in the morning, especially when she knew that the other party's wife would be there.

"It's okay, I'm in good health. This gunshot wound is nothing. Are you okay?" Qi Tongwei said with a smile, but when he turned around, he saw Luo Qian glaring at him, and his smile stopped abruptly.

Zhong Xiaoai saw the other person's expression of wanting to laugh but not daring to, and of course she knew why. This made her feel very uncomfortable. Why didn't she have a little more courage at that time? Otherwise, with her family background, such a perfect man would definitely not escape her control.

"Director Zhong, look, Tongwei said everything is fine. Don't you still need to investigate the case? Don't waste time here. What if the corrupt officials run away?" Luo Qian didn't give him any face and started to drive him away.

As the descendant of a political leader, Zhong Xiaoai was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. When had she ever been subjected to other people's ridicule? Luo Qian was the first one.

This made Zhong Xiaoai's heart surge with anger, and she also got competitive. She shot back, "My colleagues are investigating the case, so it doesn't matter if I'm there or not. Besides, Tongwei was seriously injured because of me. It would be unreasonable for me not to come and see him."

Qi Tongwei sensed something was amiss and reinterpreted Zhong Xiaoai's words, "As you should. You're a high-ranking official from above. How could I allow you to get hurt in my territory?"

Luo Qian took over the conversation: "Yes, yes, that's the good thing about our Tongwei. He is usually warm-hearted. He will rescue anyone, even cats and dogs, if they are in danger. So, Director Zhong, don't take it to heart."

Qi Tongwei: “…”

Zhong Xiaoai smiled and said, "Of course I know that. We met when he came to our school to attend the Student Union. Come to think of it, I know Tong Wei just as well as you, his legitimate wife."

When Luo Qian heard this, she immediately became furious. In public, she was a high-ranking CEO, but only she knew that Qi Tongwei was her weakness and could be broken with one blow.

Zhong Xiaoai ignored the already exasperated Luo Qian and pointed to her lunch box and said to Qi Tongwei, "You haven't had breakfast yet. It's just right. I made this soup early in the morning. I asked the doctor about it. It will help with the recovery of your wound."

As he said this, regardless of Luo Qian's expression, he took the breakfast away from the bedside and placed his own thermal box on it.

Luo Qian's chest heaved with anger, and she stared at Qi Tongwei fiercely, as if saying: Just try it if you dare.

Qi Tongwei smiled bitterly and stopped Zhong Xiaoai's action, "Director Zhong, my wound has just been sutured, so I shouldn't eat anything. Currently, I can only replenish my energy through intravenous nutrition."

Luo Qian saw the opportunity and immediately responded: "Right, right, Director Zhong, you can't repay kindness with enmity."

Zhong Xiaoai paused, remembering that she had asked the doctor what nutrients she needed, but hadn't asked when she could eat them. She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know." Then she pointed to the breakfast next to her and said, "What about this?"

Luo Qian replied with a triumphant tone, "That's my breakfast."

Qi Tongwei: “…”

Zhong Xiaoai looked at a pile of various breakfasts and smiled slightly. She would never believe that a woman like Luo Qian could eat so much. She could only say that she had made the same common sense mistake as herself.

As if she was afraid of being exposed, Luo Qian started to shoo people away: "Okay, Director Zhong, now we've seen it all, if there's nothing wrong, you can go back first. The doctor said that Tongwei needs to rest, I'll be here."

In terms of justice, Zhong Xiaoai still lost and could only accept it passively.

"Okay, Mr. Luo, then you must take good care of our heroic secretary. He is not only your husband, but also a good cadre of our party." Zhong Xiaoai still did not give in, and said gently to Qi Tongwei: "Tongwei, I will come to see you again tonight. You should take good care of your injuries."

"Um...Okay, thank you very much."

After Zhong Xiaoai left, Luo Qian sat heavily on the edge of the bed, puffing out her cheeks and feeling sulky.

Qi Tongwei was like a man caught having an affair, and he didn't dare to say a word for a long time.

Women are harder to appease when they are angry.

After a long silence, Qi Tongwei couldn't stand it anymore and broke the silence, "Um...Qianqian, where's my phone?"

"What? How long have we been apart? You're already calling him?" Luo Qian said sarcastically.

Qi Tongwei had no choice but to put on a serious face and pretend to be angry. "What are you doing? I'm the county party committee secretary. Bandits opened fire in our Jiangchang. I want to know what the situation is and how much impact it has caused!"

Only then did Luo Qian reluctantly take out her cell phone from the bedside table.

Qi Tongwei pressed it, but it didn't light up. "Is the battery out?"

"I turned off your phone for you!"

Qi Tongwei pressed the power button, and a chessboard appeared on the phone screen. Then the black and white pieces were placed one after another, and then the phone came to the operation interface.

Qi Tongwei first called Kong Yiji to inquire about the situation. He felt relieved when he learned that Gao Yuliang was now in Jiangchang.

One of the gangsters died and the other became a vegetable.

Kong Yiji expressed his admiration for Qi Tongwei in his words. Who would have thought that this young leader had such amazing skills.

Many criminal investigation experts checked the parking lot surveillance and said that the man acted swiftly and decisively, and had extremely strong psychological qualities, which even they were not sure he could do.

Some actions may seem simple, but when you really ask someone to do them, it is not something that ordinary people can do to seize the opportunity.

Take marksmanship for example. Normally, you can hit the target every time you shoot, but actual combat is another matter.

"Okay, stop flattering me. Besides me, is anyone else injured?"

Kong Yiji hesitated for a long time.

Qi Tongwei was getting impatient. "Tell me, who is it?"

"It's Deputy County Chief Chen. He was shot twice and is still in the intensive care unit."

"What!" Qi Tongwei was shocked. He should have thought of it earlier.

When Yang Chun came back, he would definitely be like a poisonous snake, seeking revenge for the murder of his brother. However, he did not expect that the two of them would be able to make a comeback under the pursuit of Zhao Donglai.

"What does the doctor say? What's the hope?"

"It's hard to say. He's injured his internal organs, so it depends on how he recovers. If there are no serious complications later on, he still has a chance of survival."

"Which hospital is he in?"

"With your family, Haizhou People's Hospital."
