Chapter 390 Qi Tongwei's parents are missing? !
"Besides, our higher-ups have been taking special care of our village. You know that mountain behind our village? There's a spring there, and the water is so clear and sweet. When the higher-ups heard about it, they thought it was a great resource, so they sent people to investigate. Now, they've turned it into a tourist attraction."
As the village chief spoke, he pulled Qi Tongwei into the village and pointed to a new building in the distance. He continued, "Look over there, those newly built houses are part of the resort. Although there aren't many people here now, quite a few tourists have started coming here."
"In the past, our village relied on farming, and our income was very limited. But now it's different. Tourists come, they want food, accommodation, and they also buy our local specialties. The income is much better than before."
"This is all thanks to you, Xiao Qi. If it weren't for your good performance in the army, the higher-ups wouldn't have paid so much attention to our small village."
Qi Tongwei looked at the new changes in the village and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
He knew that this was not only his own achievement, but also the result of everyone's concerted efforts.
He said to the village chief, "Chief, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts. I just did what I should do. What matters most is that everyone can live a good life."
The village chief smiled and nodded, saying, "Xiao Qi, you are a humble child. No matter what, you are the pride of our village."
Qi Tongwei pushed open the door with full of expectations, but the house was quiet and there was no sound at all.
He shouted loudly: "Dad, Mom, I'm back!" But no one responded to him.
Qi Tongwei's face suddenly changed, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
"Why aren't my parents at home? What else could they be doing at this hour?" He muttered to himself as he looked around the house. Every room was empty, with no sign of his parents.
When the village chief saw Qi Tongwei's anxious look, he also became nervous.
He walked around the house, searching every corner carefully, but still found no trace of Qi's father and mother.
Just when they were at a loss, the neighbor heard the noise and came over.
The neighbor was an amiable old lady. When she saw Qi Tongwei, she was startled at first, then a look of surprise appeared on her face: "Oh, isn't this Xiao Qi? You're back."
Qi Tongwei hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, do you know where my parents are? I just came back and found that they are not at home."
After hearing what Qi Tongwei said, the aunt sighed and said, "Xiao Qi, your parents have recently gone to the city to do odd jobs. You know, although the village has changed a bit now, your parents don't want to rely solely on everyone's support and the village's income. They said you've worked hard in the army, and they want to earn more money to reduce your burden."
After hearing what the aunt said, Qi Tongwei felt sad.
He frowned and said, "Auntie, my parents are old, why are they still going to the city to do odd jobs? Can they handle it?"
The aunt patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder and comforted him, "Xiao Qi, don't worry too much. Your parents are still in good health."
"The jobs they find in the city aren't particularly strenuous. They just help clean and organize things in a small factory. They leave early and come back late every day. Although it's hard work, they work very hard."
Qi Tongwei stood there, his brows furrowed, his heart full of surprise.
He sends a lot of money to his parents every month, which is enough for them to live a comfortable life in the village.
. According to common sense, my parents don’t need to worry about money at all now, and their living standards should be very good.
Why would they go to the city to do odd jobs? It really doesn't make sense.
Moreover, Qi Tongwei was well aware that his identity was rather special. The missions he performed in the army were often dangerous and it was inevitable that he would offend some people.
Although his parents have been protected by the relevant departments, danger is like a shadow hidden in the dark and may emerge at any time.
In this case, would there be any problem if parents left the village to do odd jobs in the city?
The more Qi Tongwei thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and a feeling of unease spread in his heart.
He immediately turned and walked towards his neighbor, his eyes filled with anxiety. Qi Tongwei tried to keep his voice calm and asked, "Auntie, do you know where my parents work? Do you have any contact information?"
The neighbor lady shook her head with a helpless look on her face.
She said, "Xiao Qi, I'm not too sure either. I just know that a young man took them there."
"The young man seemed quite enthusiastic and said he could find your parents a job that was easy and would earn them money. Your parents were immediately attracted and followed him."
Qi Tongwei's eyes became more serious, and the doubts in his heart grew like a snowball.
A young man?
Who is he?
Why do you want to take your parents to work in the city?
This all seems too strange.
Qi Tongwei felt that there must be another hidden story behind this incident. His intuition told him that his parents might be in some unknown danger.
He asked the neighbor again, "Auntie, do you really not know anything else about that boy? For example, what does he look like? Does he have any special accent?"
The neighbor lady tried hard to recall, frowning as she said, "Xiao Qi, I didn't pay much attention at the time. The boy looked ordinary, and his accent seemed to be from around here. I didn't think he resembled her much at the time, so I just thought he was a kind young man."
Qi Tongwei's face became a little gloomy. He couldn't just sit there and watch. He had to find his parents as soon as possible and ensure their safety.
The village chief looked at Qi Tongwei's increasingly gloomy face and felt a little worried, but he hurriedly comforted him: "Xiao Qi, it should be nothing. Don't worry too much."
"Our village is quite safe now, and your parents are both honest people. They probably just found a job in the city and are too busy to come back."
However, Qi Tongwei's frown did not relax because of the village chief's words.
He turned to his neighbor and asked with a hint of urgency in his voice, "How long have my parents been gone?"
The neighbor scratched her head, thought for a moment, and said, "He left the day before yesterday and hasn't come back in the past two days."
Qi Tongwei's heart sank suddenly. He left the day before yesterday and hasn't come back yet?
This is not a normal situation.
All sorts of bad images began to surface in his mind: were his parents in danger? Were they being controlled by someone?
His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.
