Chapter 839: Decision
After Leng Jinpeng finished speaking, everyone could hear Qu Mingyi whimpering behind Peng Yaohua. After a long while, he asked, “Is Chi Yuansheng still alive?”
“Yes.”
Qu Mingyi sobbed even harder.
“Commander-in-chief, you’ve been there throughout my relationship with Yang Min. You know how hard it was for me to woo her back then, don’t you?! I’ve spent blood, sweat, and tears to woo her. You have no idea how happy I was!”
Currently, Leng Jinpeng felt nothing for Qu Mingyi. He sneered, “I’m not interested in a relationship between a spy and a killer. I don’t want to know.”
“I’m not a spy! Yang Min wasn’t a killer either!” Qu Mingyi sounded a little crazed. His hands were shaking from anger, and Peng Yaohua could not help but scream in shock.
“You have no idea how much Yang Min and I used to love the military base. We loved it and the life we lived there. Yet, what do you know? It was exactly because we loved this profession so much that we invested almost all our passion into it. That was what allowed our Weiwei to get kidnapped when he was three because no one was watching over him.”
Leng Jinpeng frowned. Although he and Qu Mingyi were not in the same military base back then, they were the best of the best among the special forces—the creme de la creme. He knew that the kidnapping of Qu Mingyi’s child caused quite an uproar because his Leng Qirui was nearly kidnapped as well. After that, his parents hired professional bodyguards to protect the child 24 hours a day. Nothing like that had happened ever since.
“Didn’t you recover Qu Wei back then? You lost your child because you were busy with work, so you started to hate this job so much you’d become a spy and a killer?”
“Bullsh*t! Qu Wei did come back, but he was completely under someone else’s control! For the sake of my child’s life, Yang Min and I had no choice but to help the enemy achieve their goals. Later, when they realized that Yang Min wasn’t very useful and she wasn’t strong enough, they used her as a test subject. Tell me, if this happened to you back then, with your wife and child’s lives involved, would you remain loyal to your faith, or would you be loyal to your family?”
Qu Mingyi’s words made Leng Jinpeng speechless.
He did not dare to imagine what kinds of decisions or changes he would make if Lil Rui was held hostage. This was too difficult for him.
Lil Rui was his life—one that was more important than his own. Therefore, he had no answer.
At this moment, even though he knew that Qu Mingyi deserved to die, he could not bring himself to blame him.
If a man could not even protect his wife and children, how should he protect the people?
However, just as Leng Jinpeng was caught in an internal battle between a rock and a hard place, a sonorous and powerful voice boomed.
“If it were me, I’d choose both my faith and my family at the same time. Qu Mingyi, you need to get this straight. They’re the ones who kidnapped your son, and they’re the enemies that shouldn’t coexist under the same sky as you and your faith. However, not only did you choose to tolerate them, you even attempted to join the enemies’ ranks while claiming to stop them. If this isn’t the way of a traitor, I don’t know what is! Therefore, if it were me, I’d either win against evil or lose to evil while trying my best to save my son. There’s nothing to be afraid of. Even if we die, our family of three will die together. Even if we go to the netherworld, we’ll have each other as company.
Chi Yang’s words stunned everyone.
Especially Leng Jinpeng, who broke out in a cold sweat. It was such simple logic, yet he nearly got caught up in the mess.
