Chapter 388 Why are there so many gossips about the Liang family’s downfall?
Long Shi felt like he was trapped in a fog and had no idea what Qi Tongwei was thinking.
He began to recall Qi Tongwei's previous performances in his mind. Did Qi Tongwei feel that the Dragon Group was not sincere enough? Or did he have other concerns?
The more Long Shi thought about it, the more headache he felt. He couldn't understand why Qi Tongwei refused the opportunity to join the Dragon Group directly.
The dragon and lion stood there for a long time before slowly coming back to their senses.
He knew that he now had to rethink how to deal with Qi Tongwei. After all, this young man's thoughts were too unpredictable.
......
After leaving the army, Qi Tongwei was eager to return home and set out directly on the journey back to his hometown.
He stood by the roadside and stopped a car.
It was a somewhat shabby car, and the driver was a middle-aged man who looked quite talkative.
As soon as Qi Tongwei got in the car, the driver started talking non-stop about the downfall of the Liang family.
As he drove, he gestured excitedly, with an inexplicable excitement flashing in his eyes.
"Young man, do you know? The downfall of the Liang family is not a simple matter. There are many hidden dangers involved."
The driver's voice echoed in the small compartment.
Qi Tongwei originally just wanted to ride home quietly, but once the driver started talking, he couldn't stop.
He began to seriously analyze the pros and cons behind the situation, and those groundless rumors came out of his mouth like water.
"I heard that the Liang family offended some powerful figure. Think about it, they were so prosperous before, how could they suddenly fall? They must have done something shady behind the scenes and someone caught them."
The driver spoke very clearly and glanced at Qi Tongwei in the rearview mirror from time to time, as if expecting his response.
Qi Tongwei found these unfounded words very funny.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly and he couldn't help laughing.
This smile was extraordinary. The driver thought Qi Tongwei was interested in what he said, so he spoke even more excitedly.
"Also, I heard from my friend that when the Liang family's assets were checked, a lot of money of unknown origin was found."
"It's said that this money is hidden in some very secret places, such as overseas accounts or old houses in the countryside."
The driver described it vividly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Qi Tongwei couldn't help himself and said with a smile, "Brother, the inside stories you told are more exciting than novels. You can even publish a book."
When the driver heard this, he not only did not realize that Qi Tongwei was teasing him, but became even more proud.
He patted the steering wheel and raised his voice, saying, "Young man, I'm not kidding you. This news was told to me by a friend who knows the inside story. He has some connections in that circle, so what he said can't be wrong."
After hearing this, Qi Tongwei put away his smile and his expression became serious.
He said to the driver seriously, "Brother, you should break up with this friend as soon as possible. What he said is already a rumor. If these words get out, it will cause great damage to other people's reputations."
When the driver heard Qi Tongwei's words, the expression on his face changed instantly.
His eyes widened, with an expression of disappointment, and he said, "Why don't you believe it, young man? How could my friend lie to me? You are so young, how can you be so ignorant?"
Qi Tongwei shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother, I'm trying to reason with you. Regardless of whether your friend is lying to you or not, it's wrong to spread unfounded rumors."
Seeing Qi Tongwei's serious face, the driver knew that he could not gain any advantage on this topic.
He angrily threw down a sentence: "I can't explain it to you clearly."
The driver was holding his breath for the second half of the journey and didn't say a word. When they arrived at the destination, as soon as Qi Tongwei got off the car, the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove away, leaving Qi Tongwei standing on the side of the road, shaking his head helplessly.
As a result, the car had not driven a few meters when the tire suddenly burst with a "bang".
The sound was particularly abrupt on the quiet road, like a clap of thunder.
Then, the car lost control instantly.
He staggered towards the noisy vegetable market nearby.
The vegetable market was bustling with people, vendors were busy selling all kinds of fresh vegetables and meat, and customers were selecting goods in front of the stalls. No one expected that such an out-of-control car would rush towards them.
Many passers-by turned around after hearing the sound of the tire bursting, and when they saw the out-of-control car, they immediately screamed in horror.
The sound was filled with fear and panic, and quickly spread throughout the vegetable market.
Qi Tongwei has quick eyes and hands, and his reaction speed is astonishingly fast.
At the moment the car lost control, he turned quickly, then jumped directly onto the car.
Qi Tongwei stood on the roof of the car and without any hesitation, he quickly reached his hand in through the driver's window.
At this time, the driver was so scared that his face turned pale, his head was a mess, and he had no idea what to do.
Qi Tongwei kept loudly directing the driver: "Brother, don't panic! Step on the brakes first, step on them hard! That's right!"
His voice was steady and powerful, giving people a sense of calmness in this chaotic moment.
Although the driver's mind was in a mess, he instinctively followed Qi Tongwei's method.
He stepped hard on the brake and gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, trying to stop the car.
However, simply stepping on the brakes seemed not enough, and the car was still sliding slowly towards the vegetable market.
Seeing this, Qi Tongwei shouted again: "Brother, pull the handbrake now, pull it slowly, don't use too much force!"
The driver followed Qi Tongwei's instructions and slowly pulled the handbrake with trembling hands.
Under Qi Tongwei's command, the driver's operation gradually took effect and the speed of the car began to slowly decrease.
Finally, the car miraculously stopped before it hit the vendors and passers-by.
The entire vegetable market seemed to be paused at that moment. Everyone stared blankly at the stopped car. Then, thunderous exclamations and cheers rang out.
Passersby gathered around, their faces still showing the lingering fear of the shock, but more of it was gratitude towards Qi Tongwei.
An elderly woman came forward excitedly, took Qi Tongwei's hand and said, "Young man, thanks to you! If it weren't for you, who knows how big a mess would have been today! You are truly a hero!"
A vendor also came over, gave a thumbs-up and said, "Brother, your skills are amazing! Your reaction is so fast, you are simply superhuman!"
