Chapter 221: Evil Foreign Forces

Qiu Tong’s profile and Professor Dong’s back were vaguely visible in the photo, but the light was dim and blurry, making it impossible to determine if there was indeed an ambiguous relationship between Qiu Tong and Professor Dong.

Mrs. Dong glared as she distributed copies of the photos to the surrounding neighbors. She shouted, “Who would believe that a woman without a job can afford such a villa?!”

“This villa must have been given to her by some man. She is already a mother of three but this vixen is really something!”

“She is able to seduce my husband. You have to watch your man closely when you get home! Don’t let her seduce your…”

Madam Dong was slandering Qiu Tong’s reputation. Her words were getting increasingly ugly.

Qiu Tong frowned and wanted to retort, but Qiu Xingqiao strode over and stood in front of her. He raised his head and shouted, “Shut up!”

“Your photos are all blurry. No one can see anything clearly!”

“I can say that it’s a photo of Mommy, who was kind enough to help an old uncle cross the road! What right do you have to say that Mommy is linked to him?”

Qiu Xingyu nodded vigorously. “This man looks very old! Our Mommy won’t like him. Besides, we already have a Daddy. He’s especially outstanding. This old lady must have misunderstood!”

Qiu Xingyuan raised his hand and covered Little Yu’s mouth, indicating for her not to mention Jin Yang’s identity.

After all, he was the president so Qiu Tong’s marriage to him had to be kept a secret. Qiu Xingyuan looked at Madam Dong coldly. He pursed his thin lips and said in a serious tone, “You barged into our house and can be charged with infringing on other people’s privacy and safety. We can call the police.”

“We all believe that Mommy is innocent. If you think that there is something wrong with your husband, the problem might lie with you.”

Qiu Xingyuan was wearing a loose-fitting hoodie. He was clearly just a young kid, but in Qiu Tong’s eyes, he now looked indescribably tall, reliable and steady.

Madam Dong was at a loss for words. The surrounding neighbors were swayed by the children’s opinions. The tables had turned.

In the villa area, a taxi suddenly braked at the door. Professor Dong came out from the back seat with an anxious expression. He grabbed Madam Dong’s arm unhappily. “Don’t embarrass me here. Go home!”

Madam Dong misunderstood that he was defending Qiu Tong and became even angrier. She sat on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.

“You haven’t been home recently. When you go home, you lock yourself in the study room!”

“Keeping your phone and computer close to you all day every day, I have no idea what you are doing! You must be out fooling around with this vixen…”

“After knowing that I’m here to cause trouble for her, you specially came here to help her out? I’ve been with you for more than 10 years, but you are not showing me any respect.”

Qiu Tong’s head ached at the sight of Madam Dong throwing a tantrum.

However, Professor Dong’s research was confidential. To the outside world, he was just an ordinary university professor. It was difficult to explain.

“Hello? Brother, they’re all bullying me. Come and help!”

Madam Dong made a call and Professor Dong looked at Qiu Tong apologetically. “I’m sorry, I’ll compensate you for this.”

“You still want to transfer money to her?”

Infuriated, Madam Dong stood up and scratched Professor Dong. Qiu Tong raised her hand to protect the children and called Ke Le and the rest out to control the situation.

Swoosh—

Two vans drove into the villa area. A few burly young men came out of the car with their sleeves rolled up. “Who bullied my sister?”

Just as they were about to attack Qiu Tong, several gunshots rang out in the distance.

Everyone looked shocked. Madam Dong was so frightened that her face turned pale as she muttered, “Brother, why did you bring guns?”

The young man shook his head. “It’s not us!”

Qiu Tong realized that they were heading straight for Professor Dong. Sensing that it was the evil foreign forces, she hurriedly ran to Professor Dong and shouted to Ke Le, “Bring the children in. Call the others out to help!”

Gunshots rang out in the villa district. Qiu Tong pushed Professor Dong’s head down and stuffed him into a bush to hide.

Madam Dong hid under the trunk of a car and hugged her head in fear. She could not understand how this confrontation suddenly became a gunfight!

The evil foreign forces were all wearing black masks. They raised their guns and shouted, “Hand over the professor. As long as we get the formula for the human modification plan, we promise not to harm any innocent lives! Otherwise… don’t blame us for indiscriminately shooting at everyone.”

Two bullets tore through the air and grazed Qiu Tong’s arm, leaving two deep bloody marks.

Professor Dong held onto his glasses and opened his mouth to speak, but Qiu Tong put her index finger to her lips, indicating for him to shut up.

Ke Le and his mercenaries hid on both sides of the garden. They followed Qiu Tong’s instructions and waited for an opportunity to attack.

Qiu Tong took off Professor Dong’s hat and poked it out with a tree branch. As expected, it attracted the other party’s firepower to shoot at her…

“Go!”

Qiu Tong gave Ke Le a signal and the mercenaries moved out in tacit cooperation.

Meanwhile, Ye Luan, who was hiding at the door and listening to their conversation, looked nervous. His body was trembling uncontrollably and his lips were pale.

“How did they…?!”
