Cheng Su’s mind was buzzing, and she numbly hung up the phone. What was going on? They said Qi Taiguo was injured, and it was from an explosion?
Is it serious? If it weren’t serious, he wouldn’t be receiving treatnt in the Capital!
But a few days ago, he clearly called back to say he was safe. There was no sign of anything wrong.
No, his voice seed weak, not as strong as usual. Was it because he was injured?
Cheng Su grew anxious and picked up the phone again. She asked Qi Father and them, "What’s wrong? Who got injured?"
"They said Taiguo was injured during a mission and is now being treated in the Capital!" Cheng Su replied.
"What?" Mother Qi scread, about to faint. Qi Fenglian quickly supported her to sit down and applied so dicinal oil.
Qi Father turned even paler and said, "Didn’t he call back?"
"Yes, Dad, don’t worry. I’ll call to find out what’s going on." Cheng Su saw the worried look on the elder’s face and quickly reassured him with a couple of words. anwhile, Qi Fengping’s crying was so loud that Cheng Su could barely hear the phone. Already anxious and irritated, she turned and shouted at her, "Stop crying, why are you wailing like a funeral?"
Qi Fengping stopped crying when she was yelled at. She wanted to retort, but seeing the family focused solely on Cheng Su, she swallowed her words. What happened?
In a hurry, Cheng Su dialed the Ning Family. It was Ning Ge’s sister-in-law who answered, and Cheng Su gave her na and asked if Ning Gang or Old Master Ning was there.
By the ti Old Master Ning took over the call, Cheng Su’s eyes were already red, and her voice was choked with emotion: "I heard Taiguo is being treated in the Capital. Do you have any way to contact him?"
Whatever was said on the phone, no one else knew. They just saw Cheng Su nodding in response before hanging up.
"How is it?"
Cheng Su wiped her tears and said, "He’s fine, just injured his back. They chose to treat him in the Capital because the dical care there is better. He’s recovering well and said he’d call back."
Though Old Master’s words were reassuring, Cheng Su couldn’t really set her mind at ease without seeing it for herself. Plus, if it wasn’t serious, why would he be treated in the Capital for so many days?
After hearing this, Mother Qi quickly uttered "Amitabha" and set off to offer incense without another word.
Qi Father also breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing into his chair. It’s good that his son is fine. Then he looked at Qi Fengping, and his headache started pounding again.
The whole family waited for Qi Taiguo’s call. Cheng Su didn’t leave for a mont, wishing she could crawl through the phone to Qi Taiguo. She even considered whether to leave for the Capital the next day to see for herself.
When Qi Taiguo received the notice from Old Master Ning, he was a bit surprised.
"You should’ve told Xiao Cheng in advance. She called all the way over here to find soone, and judging by her voice, she seed ready to lose it. Better call her back quickly to see if sothing happened," Old Master Ning said.
Qi Taiguo smiled wryly. It seed he couldn’t hide it any longer, but what made Cheng Su go out of her way to find him here? What happened?
He went to the communications room and made a call back. As soon as it connected, Cheng Su’s voice ca through. She must have been waiting by the phone.
Upon hearing his voice, Cheng Su began to cry, first scolding him for hiding things from her and then asking what happened. Qi Taiguo had to comfort her a bit, ntioning his injury nonchalantly, before asking her why she was looking for him.
But when he heard Cheng Su’s reply, Qi Taiguo’s eyes quickly turned stormy.
