Between mountains and seas

Chapter 71 Qi Tongmin's Secret

While Yuan Fei was lying on the bed thinking, the person he was talking to had already walked out of the side door of the hotel.He walked silently under the shadow of trees and buildings, and no one who came home late on the street noticed him.It wasn't until he walked two streets that he got into an unremarkable Buick in a parking lot.

When the headlights were turned on, his face finally emerged from the darkness. If Shao Jingxing or Huo Qing were here, they would definitely recognize him. This person is the head of the special affairs department, Qi Tongmin.

Qi Tongmin didn't start the car immediately, but glanced in the direction he just came from.From here, you can vaguely see the nameplate of the business hotel, which is inconspicuous in the brightly lit street, but it is stubbornly lit, just like the man living in it at the moment.

How could Qi Tongmin not see the ambition and unwillingness in Yuan Fei's eyes.

I think that when he found Yuan Fei, this man was at the bottom of his life—because of a wrong estimate of the situation, his actions resulted in the deaths of three people, including a famous entrepreneur, so he was arrested by the Special Affairs Department. "Take the blame and resign".

The Yuan family was not a wealthy family, and Yuan Fei's job in the special affairs department was dangerous and needed to be kept secret, but because his supernatural power level was not high and his actual combat ability was not strong, his level was naturally not high, and his salary was only average.

But if Yuan Fei's wife wasn't so in pursuit of enjoyment, the Yuan family could live a good life. Although his father died young, his mother still had a pension.Except that the house is really narrow, the life of the Yuan family is far from enough compared to the above, but there is still a little surplus compared to the bottom.

It's just that Yuan Fei's wife is not satisfied.Originally, she often complained that she couldn't have designer bags or shoes like her colleagues and friends. Once Yuan Fei lost her job, her resentment became more open.

The special affairs department actually gave Yuan Fei a "severance pay", but the amount was very small - the funds were limited, and the money was allocated by the then section chief in other names - Yuan Fei used this money to do Started a small business.

It should be said that Yuan Fei has worked very hard, and his business is doing well, but because of the small capital, the profit is relatively meager, but he still managed to maintain the previous standard of living.

But Yuan Fei's wife was very dissatisfied.Yuan Fei was at least a "civil servant" in the past, but now he is unemployed, without any protection. As long as there is such a small storm, the fragile balance of the family will be broken immediately.

Just at this time, she met another person——Yuan Fei's wife was still pretty, although unfortunately her daughter didn't inherit it.For beautiful women, there are often more temptations and opportunities, but Yuan Fei's wife resolutely seized this opportunity, not even wanting her young daughter, divorced Yuan Fei directly, and went to another city.

For Yuan Fei, this was quite a blow.What's worse is that his mother is also ill at this time. Although it is not a terminal illness, the long-term medication is enough to destroy the family financially-in fact, if Qi Tongmin does not come, the family will inevitably collapse. of.

At that time, Qi Tongmin lent his savings to Yuan Fei to help him tide over the difficulties, so for a while, he was also empty-pocketed, only waiting for his monthly salary to eat.

But the situation improved quickly.Yuan Fei's curse ability is not effective against the strange beasts in the world of mountains and seas, but it is very convenient to use against people.What's more convenient is that Qi Tongmin certainly knows how to lift the curse he cast.

The cooperation between the two allowed Qi Tongmin to quickly open up his social circle, and then with the Xuncao plan, the two of them completely got rid of the embarrassing life in the past.

But Yuan Fei was dissatisfied, and Qi Tongmin knew this very well.Maybe at the beginning, he could have more money in his hands and be able to afford the medical expenses of his mother and the living expenses of his daughter, and he was already satisfied, but desires are like living things, they will grow up.

Yuan Fei looks down on "rich people", but he really hopes to let his mother and daughter live a "rich life".His mother was fine. The old man was used to living in poverty all his life, and felt that he had enjoyed enough blessings until his death.But Yuan Yan's future is still unlimited. Yuan Fei has always thought about sending her daughter abroad to study and giving her the best things.

But Qi Tongmin couldn't satisfy him at this point.Xun Cao is indeed very profitable, but for Qi Tongmin, the most important thing is to secure his network.For this reason, he wants to give the profits to those who cooperate, to increase benefits for Corey, and to use them for other investments. Of course, only a small part can be distributed to Yuan Fei.

What's more, Yuan Fei doesn't have a regular job until now. If an unemployed person lives in a luxury house and drives a fancy car, wouldn't it be obvious to be suspicious?Even though Yuan Fei has left the Special Affairs Department for many years, his files are still recorded in the Special Affairs Department. Qi Tongmin doesn't want to think of Yuan Fei's special ability immediately if someone finds something wrong one day.

So Yuan Fei is doomed to live the life of an ordinary person, which is of course much better than his previous life, but still far from being a "rich man".

It should be said that Yuan Fei is not a luxury person, otherwise Qi Tongmin would not choose him to cooperate.But he was too unprincipled towards his daughter, and fortunately Yuan Yan was not spoiled by him.

No, it's not that she's not spoiled, otherwise she wouldn't have teased Zhou Shu with Qingfu's blood, and in the end the trouble couldn't end, so she had to go abroad.Qi Tongmin sneered slightly, but he knew that Yuan Fei wanted to get some Xuncao pills for Yuan Yan a few years ago, but he was afraid that Yuan Yan's changes would scare the elderly at home, so he gave up temporarily.

Maybe this result is in Yuan Fei's arms, he originally wanted to send Yuan Yan out.And now that the old man has passed away, it is estimated that Yuan Fei will find a way to get some Xuncao pills when he goes to Hunan this time.After all, after studying abroad for a few years, no matter how big the changes are when I come back, everyone will feel that it is acceptable.

The word "difficult to fill a beggar" is actually very accurate.Thinking back to when he first got divorced, as long as he had a fixed income to pay his mother's medical expenses, Yuan Fei would be grateful to him.But now, Yuan Fei's life is getting better and better, and his heart is getting bigger and bigger.Even now that there is no "chrysalis", he is dissatisfied.

Qi Tongmin shook hands subconsciously.In fact, it's not just Yuan Fei?He only absorbed and used the remaining half of the pupa, and he was already fascinated by the feeling of greatly improved abilities, so he couldn't do without himself after absorbing the whole pupa.

The feeling of supernatural powers filling his limbs and bones is indeed fascinating, and more importantly, because of this, he was able to justifiably squeeze out Gu Sheng and become the chief of the special affairs department.Otherwise, in terms of seniority alone, Gu Sheng would be better than him, not to mention that the Gu family had donated such treasures as the final pen.

Final pen.

Qi Tongmin sneered and started the car.Gu Sheng is undoubtedly a good person, but his father is much better at making money than he is.Donating the final pen, entering the special affairs department, and even using the bloodline method, so that the final pen can only be used by their father and son, and the blood of the Gu family has the capital to awaken the power of prediction.Otherwise, the Gu family should have only ordinary earth-type supernatural blood, and it is unknown whether they will be awakened in the end.

But after all, the pen is not the Gu family's.If Gu Sheng's father was really so upright and honest, he should have found the real owner of the final pen and handed it back to him.

That's right, after all, the pen belongs to the Qi family.Or to be more precise, after all, the pen should have been his, Qi Tongmin's.If it weren't for the chaos of those ten years, he should have lived with his grandparents and his mother and sister, instead of being taken away by his mother in a hurry, so that his flesh and blood were separated and he would never have the chance to meet again.

Qi Tongmin will always remember how he felt when he returned to his hometown after 20 years--grandparents and younger sister are separated from each other, but the final strokes handed down in the family have become someone else's promotion.Holding his breath, he entered the special affairs department and approached Gu Sheng.

It was Gu Sheng, not his father.Because his father, Gu Aiguo, was already the director at that time, a position that he, a newcomer, needed to look up to.

He also remembered Gu Sheng's expression when he told the truth to Gu Sheng.In fact, he regretted it a little when he just said it - with Gu Aiguo's status at the time, as long as he denied it, would anyone believe him, a newcomer who just came back from overseas?After all, he has no evidence, so the Gu family can bite back and even silence him quietly...

Maybe he was indeed a born conspiracy theorist.Because he never expected Gu Sheng's reaction to be like that - the other party was as surprised and happy as seeing some long-lost relative, and took out a few relics left by his grandparents.Of course, the most valuable one has been donated to the country in the name of the Gu family.

In the end, only Qi Tongmin and Gu Sheng knew about this matter.Gu Sheng begged him to wait until his father passed away before announcing the real owner of the final pen, but he chose to cover it up completely.After all, Gu Aiguo has implemented the method of bloodline on the final pen, so he can no longer use it.And in this way, he lost an empty title, but gained Gu Sheng's guilt.

That's really a nice guy... Qi Tongmin thought again.Even the young people in the third action team he formed are very similar to him to some extent, and they will never be like Yuan Fei, who he picked out to cooperate with, who is ambitious and insatiable.

It can be said that Gu Sheng reshaped part of his personality, but unfortunately it was only part of it. After all, he has more desires and higher goals than Gu Sheng, so he has to take a different path...

Thinking too much.Qi Tongmin looked at the community that was already close in front of him, and suppressed his chaotic thoughts.Forget it, Yuan Fei has no dissatisfaction for the time being when Yuan Yan sent it away.Moreover, Yuan Fei probably forgot that his daughter is abroad, and he will be beyond his reach, which is equivalent to giving someone else a handle.Of course, he hoped that this trick would not be used one day, after all, Yuan Fei is still very useful.As for Xuncao Wan, if he can get it from the planting base, then let him do it.

The car drove into the parking lot of the community, and Qi Tongmin took the elevator up to the 8th floor.This wasn't his house, or at least not on the title deed.The entire Special Affairs Department, and Yuan Fei, didn't know that this was his home.

The person who opened the door was a woman with a gentle expression. As soon as she saw him, a smile came out of her eyes from the bottom of her heart: "It's a bit late today, have you worked overtime? Didn't you eat? I made three cups of chicken."

Qi Tongmin closed the door with his backhand, shutting out the darkness.The light in the living room is soft, illuminating the clean walls, floors, glass and furniture, as well as those well-arranged knickknacks, making people feel comfortable as soon as they enter.

"Uncle Qi—" A girl stood up from a corner of the living room, called Qi Tongmin dryly, and then ran back to her bedroom.

"Qiqi——" the woman wanted to call out to the child, but the girl had already closed the bedroom door.She could only sigh softly, and went to fetch slippers for Qi Tongmin, "She still has homework to do..."

The same goes for no homework.Qi Tongmin thought lightly.Some children just don't know how to raise them. For example, Lu Qiqi, even though she knows that her biological father doesn't want to raise her, she still doesn't want to call another man who is willing to raise her Dad.

But he didn't bother to say that.In fact, Xie Fei knew it in her heart, but it was her daughter, so what could she do as a mother?

The three-cup chicken is served, exuding a slightly sweet and delicious fragrance, which is very suitable for eating rice.Xie Fei's cooking skills are very good, as well as her temper, but because she didn't have a son, her value plummeted in the eyes of some people, which is really ironic.

"Eat slowly." Xie Fei put a bowl of soup in Qi Tongmin's hand, still with a smile in his eyes, and sat down to watch him eat, as if it was such an important thing.

"Have you eaten?" Generally speaking, as long as he is in the capital, Xie Fei will try to wait for him to come back to eat together, and she knows that he attaches great importance to this.

Xie Fei smiled apologetically: "Well—Qiqi is not feeling well today, so I will eat with her first. But I still want to drink some soup..."

Qi Tongmin frowned slightly, took a bite of his meal, and suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about sending Qiqi to study abroad?"

"Going abroad?" Xie Fei was stunned for a moment, and a trace of sadness appeared between her brows, "Qiqi is just not very sensible, wait until she grows up..."

Just wait until she is 20 years old, whether she is not familiar with it or not.Qi Tongmin glanced at the ajar door of the bedroom.It's not that Xie Fei didn't tell her that her biological father pretended to snatch the custody rights during the divorce because she disliked her as a girl, but in fact it was to force Xie Fei to give up asking for the child support.

In the first few years, Xie Fei worked hard to support her, but later it was Qi Tongmin who took care of their mother and daughter.Xie Fei is still working, but based on her own work alone, it is impossible for her to go to a private junior high school and take some English tutoring classes.

However, the facts are in front of his eyes, but Lu Qiqi still finds some small troubles from time to time, hindering him from getting along with Xie Fei.This can no longer be excused by being young - Qi Tongmin thought coldly.

"Going to study abroad is also good for her. At least in foreign countries, no one will ask who her father is." Speaking of which, this is the inspiration I got from Yuan Yan going abroad. Although it must cost a lot of money, sending her out , Xie Fei will not be caught in the middle of the dilemma.In addition, Lu Qiqi's studies are not bad, if she can gain a foothold abroad in the future, it will save Xie Fei from worrying about her.

Problems that can be solved with money are often not big problems.

Xie Fei was also a little moved when she heard the words: "But Qiqi's age...and the cost..." Thinking about it, I know that the cost is quite a lot, and it is all borne by Qi Tongmin.

"It's fine to go abroad to go to high school. I think her English is very good, so she won't be unable to communicate in language." Qi Tongmin made a direct decision, "It doesn't mean that she has classmates who also went abroad, and I saw her envious at the time. In this case, it doesn't matter if we spend a little more money. Let's make a decision like this, and I'll see what procedures I have to go through later. Don't worry, I will definitely arrange it for her. "

If Xie Fei was allowed to make the decision, once Lu Qiqi objected, Xie Fei would be in trouble again, so it's better for him to make the decision. It doesn't matter if Lu Qiqi wants to blame him, as long as Xie Fei is not involved.

Xie Fei thought of Lu Qiqi's words of envy when she talked about that classmate who went abroad last time, so she couldn't help but whispered: "Tong Min, thank you." Lu Qiqi was looking for trouble on purpose, how could she not know?It's just that the daughter may have reached the rebellious stage, and she refuses to say anything, so she can only rely on her to observe.In terms of observation, she is not as careful as Qi Tongmin, and this mother is a little ashamed for doing so...

Qi Tongmin smiled: "Why are you being so polite. You'll be happy when she's well, and I'll be happy when you're happy, right?" Besides, without Lu Qiqi interfering by his side, he probably wouldn't have proposed to Xie Fei again. What obstacles will be encountered.This matter has been dragging on for several years. If it weren't for Lu Qiqi, he and Xie Fei should have had a name a long time ago.

Missing her when he was a teenager, they met again after going round and round, and they also happened to meet when he was already able to keep her by his side.If you don't seize the opportunity, you will live up to the arrangement of fate.

The cool evening breeze blowing in from the window, as well as the sound of vehicles passing by outside, mixed with the aroma of food in the living room, is very ordinary, but it makes people feel solid and comfortable.

Qi Tongmin turned his gaze back to Xie Fei.This person, the city he lives with this person, and the world containing this city are all he wants to protect.For this reason, he must have enough ability to be able to sit firmly in this seat, and even take a step up.

Then, eggs are essential.Qi Tongmin thought of Shao Jingxing's report - the living stone.

Others may not know what it is, but based on the rumors of Ashiya Aoi and the five-colored moth, he has been able to confirm that the living stone discovered by Ka Mochuan's grandfather should be a chrysalis.

In the world of mountains and seas, there is a place where there are a large number of chrysalis.He must find this place, and it must not fall into the hands of the Japanese!
