Chapter 222: Warmth Of A Family

Ke Le and the mercenaries restrained them. Qiu Tong called the police chief and asked the police to come over to handle the interrogation.

Professor Dong and Madam Dong were so frightened that their legs went limp. They sat on a bench to rest. They looked at the scattered bullet shells on the ground and still felt fear lingering in their hearts.

“Miss Qiu is a bodyguard I hired. She’s here to protect me!”

“How could you come here to harass her without even clarifying things? If there are any problems between us, you should have come to me!”

Professor Dong handed a glass of warm water to his wife. His voice was reprimanding, but his eyes were filled with warmth and heartache.

Now that she knew the truth, Madam Dong slapped her thigh in frustration. She stood up and walked to Qiu Tong, bowing deeply in guilt.

“I’m sorry, I was just too anxious. I’m willing to bear the responsibility for the impact on you and the children!”

“I’ll explain to the surrounding neighbors. I’ll rescind all my negative comments and help restore your reputation…”

Madam Dong took out her phone and pointed at the email she received. “A woman who claimed to be Lin Shan called me last night. She said that she saw you two behaving intimately. When I heard her words and recalled Dong’s strange behavior recently, I couldn’t suppress the anger in my heart!”

Qiu Tong looked at Lin Shan’s phone number and email account. She frowned.

Lin Shan was really stubborn. No matter what, Qiu Tong could not shake this woman off. It seemed like she had to teach Lin Shan a lesson!

Qiu Tong shook her head and comforted Professor Dong and Madam Dong. “The police report states that all the members of the evil foreign forces were arrested. Don’t worry, there won’t be any more members waiting to kidnap or threaten you.”

Professor Dong thanked her profusely and paid her full fees on the spot, before leaving with his wife.

…

When they returned to the villa, Qiu Tong thought that the children would definitely be shocked and was about to comfort them.

However, Qiu Xingyu was sitting in front of the sofa with the first aid kit. With a straight face, Qiu Xingqiao tugged at Qiu Tong’s fingers and pushed her down to sit on the carpet.

Qiu Xingyuan concealed the worry in his eyes. Holding a pair of scissors, he tugged at Qiu Tong’s shirt as gently as possible.

The three children huddled together and gasped when they saw the gunshot wound on Qiu Tong’s arm.

Qiu Xingyuan opened his hand and Little Yu obediently handed over the disinfectant, gauze and ointment.

Qiu Tong sensed their intentions and leaned back on the sofa, her heart feeling warm. She watched with gentle eyes as Qiu Xingyuan seriously treated her wounds.

“If it hurts, just scream.”

“We won’t laugh at you!”

Qiu Xingqiao’s brows were furrowed as he said that. The corner of Qiu Tong’s lips curled up. “It doesn’t hurt at all.”

Qiu Xingyuan glared at her, as if chiding her for trying to put on a brave front.

“Do you lack money?”

“We can also earn money. Elder Brother can develop medicine, Little Yu can design the procedures, I… I can contribute physical effort!”

Qiu Xingqiao scratched his head as he spoke. He suddenly felt a little useless!

Qiu Tong knew that the children would all become powerful leaders in the future, but she did not want to impose the pressure of life on them now. Her eyes were filled with love as she reached out to pull Qiu Xingyuan, Qiu Xingqiao and Little Yu into her arms. She suddenly kissed their chubby cheeks with loud, clear smacks. Ke Le and the others at the side smiled when they saw the deep affection between mother and children.

Qiu Xingyuan rubbed his face awkwardly. “So much saliva!”

“Mommy! Let me blow at your wound. It won’t hurt anymore then.”

The children surrounded Qiu Tong and showed their care for her in their own different ways, letting her feel the warmth of a family.

At night, after the children had fallen asleep, Qiu Tong went straight to Lin Shan’s residence. She climbed up to the window via the drainage pipe with her bare hands. She kicked open the window and saw Lin Shan, who had been startled awake. Qiu Tong grabbed Lin Shan by her hair.

“You! You’re trespassing! I’m calling the police!”

“What do you want to do? Let go…”

Lin Shan was so scared that she wanted to grab her phone. Qiu Tong kicked the phone to the ground and pressed Lin Shan’s head against the corner of the table. She said in a harsh voice, “If you dare to hurt my children again and affect my life, I will never let you off like today!”

“You should know that I have a lot of connections.”

“Stay away from me if you don’t want to die!”

Qiu Tong kicked her into a corner. Lin Shan clutched her abdomen in pain. She looked at Qiu Tong’s figure in the darkness and shivered in fear.

Her lips trembled as she pleaded, “I won’t dare anymore! I really…”

Qiu Tong frowned and returned to the villa from Lin Shan’s place. She saw a small figure curled up at the entrance.

She hurried over and Ye Luan looked up when he heard her footsteps.

His deer-like eyes sparkled in the darkness. Seeing that he was dressed in thin clothes, Qiu Tong quickly hugged him. “Why are you outside?”

“Do you have something to say to me?”

Qiu Tong asked patiently. She seemed to be able to read his mind.

Ye Luan opened his mouth. His peripheral vision landed on his own abdomen. He shook his head and said, “I’m just worried about you…”

“It’s good that you’re back!”
