Chapter 245: Infighting (10) Power outage
241、
Annoyed, Kina asked Emily to take him back to the apartment.
Emily waited for him to get out of the car and was ready to go home, but Qi Na said, "I have to go over in the evening, you don't want to run away, just stay and eat together." ”
Emily hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Seeing a guest, Qi's mother was very happy and said, "Wait a while, I still have a soup, and I will start the banquet immediately." ”
Emily was a little embarrassed to be a pure eater, so she followed up with the kitchen to help.
Qi's mother said no, but she asked Emily to pass the vegetables through the water, and then asked Emily: "Why hasn't that Xiao Zheng been missing!?" ”
What she said Xiao Zheng was referring to Zheng Xiumin, and Emily regretted coming to the kitchen a little, and said stubbornly: "It seems that I have been on a business trip recently." ”
Qi's mother said again: "Alas, I'm not a fool, I've heard people say that Qi Na has a good relationship with others, but a third party suddenly appeared, well, I have watched an interview on TV, Xiao Zheng, this girl looks very good, I just don't know what Lu Dao Qi Na thinks, you know Lu Dao, he has been disobedient since he was a child." ”
Mother Qi chattered in Emily's ear, Emily just replied, for a long time, put the vegetables in the soup pot and boiled slightly, and Mother Qi said: "The pork rib soup is too oily, put some vegetables to relieve the oiliness." ”
Emily still copes.
She finally brought the soup pot to the table, and when she saw Qi Na, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and make a grimace.
Qi Na had already heard her mother's nagging and smiled slightly.
At this time, Father Qi brought the dishes to the table, there were only four people, but the table was full of dishes.
Qi's mother put a plate of pickled fish on the back of the last and said to Emily: "Qi Na's favorite is this home-pickled small fish." ”
Qi Na smiled. In fact, for most people, childhood food may not be so delicious, but more about reminiscing about past memories.
Qi Na is no exception.
Emily saw the table full of dishes and said, "There are so many dishes, why don't you let Qi Na's sister-in-law come over, they are not far from here." ”
As soon as Qi Na said yes, it was dark in the house and the power went out. He exclaimed, "How can there be a power outage? I don't have a candle yet! ”
Qi's father pushed open the balcony door, looked around, came back and said, "There is a power outage in this community, and the lights are still on all around." ”
Emily smiled, "Okay, it's going to be eaten on the night of the candle." ”
Qi Na said: "That's not necessary, let my sister-in-law come over and bring some candles by the way!" ”
Emily touched her phone, shook her head, and said, "Forget it, my phone is still in the car, I'll go down and get my phone and buy a candle by the way, don't bother your sister-in-law." ”、
Qi Na thought about the darkness in the underground garage, so he accompanied her downstairs.
The elevator couldn't be sitted, and they carefully smeared down the stairs.
After taking two steps, Qi Na grabbed Emily's hand and walked down hand in hand.
It was originally a power outage, and there was no light in the corridor, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Occasionally, there is a fluorescent sign in the hallway with an emergency exit prompt, which exudes a strange feeling in the dark.
Emily became more and more frightened as she walked, and hugged Qi Na tightly, Qi Na clearly heard the pounding sound of her heart, obviously scared to the extreme, women are afraid of the darkness This is inevitable.
Qi Na hugged her and comforted her in a whisper.
A few floors down, I gradually saw the lights, it turned out to be the neighbors who went downstairs in the dark with flashlights, and they smiled knowing each other.
Further down, the more people went downstairs, everyone gradually began to talk and complain about the damn power supply bureau, some people said that they saw a fire in the direction of the substation, it would not be abnormal.
Someone else said: "When you see the property, you will know the way." ”
Qi Na accompanied Emily into the underground parking garage with the crowd, got into the car, everything was back to normal, and with light, both of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Emily rummaged out of the car, found her satchel in the back seat, and took out her phone. Emily started her car out of the underground parking garage, and the ground of the complex was already crowded with neighbors, surrounding several property workers.
As soon as Emily wanted to get out of the car and ask what was going on, she heard a continuous beep from her phone, which was the sound of a text message.
Qi Na said: "There was no signal in the underground parking garage just now, so it should be a call reminder text message." ”
Emily swiped the screen and exclaimed, "Fifty text messages? What happened? ”
She was not familiar with the phone number, so when she read it to Qi Na, Qi Na frowned and said, "It's Xiao Xu and Tian Xiu." Is there something going on with them? ”
Emily was about to call back, and Qi Na said, "It shouldn't be anything." I'll go back to the unicorn nest later. ”
Because there are only phone calls from Xiao Xu and Tian Xiu, Emily is also down-to-earth and doesn't think there is any serious problem.
She honked her horn and walked through the crowd, where someone complained: "How can there be a fire in the substation?" If it's not a management problem, it's arson. ”
"Nonsense, arson is a crime, it's not a joke."
Emily listened to it funny, turned her head to Qi Na and said: "It's really a fire in the substation, alas, this community is good, how do you feel like it's messy." ”
"Well, the point is that there are too many people living there. Some owners divide the house into several rooms and rent them to several people, and it is indeed a bit chaotic when people live in a mess. Qi Na said indifferently.
"Let's go back and buy a villa." Emily said: "The infrastructure is all coming by itself, photovoltaic households, satellite communications, rainwater purification and so on, even if the world is destroyed, I am not afraid." ”
Qi Na listened to her funny, hehe smiled, but he was thinking in his heart, and felt that things were a little strange.
But this power outage is not my own, it seems that I am too worried. He was uneasy, but he could only comfort himself that maybe it was just a coincidence.
When Kina and Emily drove around the corner to buy a candle at a nearby grocery store, Emily joked, "Maybe when you get home, the electricity will come." ”
Qi Na said: "If it's a circuit failure, it's really possible, if it's a fire, it's very good to be able to call tomorrow." ”
Back in the community, sure enough, as Qi Na judged, some neighbors couldn't bear the loneliness and had already taken their families to go out to live in a hotel.
Qi Na said to Emily, "I'll trouble you to send my parents back later." ”
This apartment is too big, the old people are not comfortable to live in, and Qi Na does not want his private life to be interfered with too much by his parents, so when he took his parents over during the Chinese New Year, he bought a new house nearby.
Qi Na lit the candle, and Qi's father said: "Alas, there are also bad things in big cities, but they are too big to buy anything. ”
Emily smiled, and Qi Na said, "Just get used to it." ”
Qi's mother said: "Forget it, let's stay for a few days, your body is well, we will go back, your brother takes good care of us." ”
In the eyes of Qi's father and Qi's mother, the eldest son may have achieved much less than the second son, but he did not underestimate the eldest son because of this.
Emily glanced at Qi Na, Qi Na remained silent, and said lightly: "Xiang Yuyao still owes me an apartment, when the time comes, my parents will live in it, even if it is a blessing." Those relatives also walked around a lot, and the money was not enough for their sons to manage. ”
Father Qi shook his head: "Alas, dripping water, fighting rice, we don't go out for a walk, just to make you less trouble." "The social affection of the elderly is much deeper than that of the young.
Qi Na nodded.
As she spoke, Qi's mother served the rice.
Qi Na picked up a piece of pickled fish with chopsticks, and was about to send it to his mouth when he heard a rumbling knock on the door.
The one who knocked on the door was simply banging on the door, and Qi Na scolded: "What's wrong today?" And let no one eat. ”
Qi Na put down the chopsticks and asked his parents not to move, and went to open the door by himself.
Emily followed, and as soon as the door opened, a figure rushed in, and Kina flashed out of the way, and the man fell straight to the ground.
Qi Na's parents were shocked and thought something was wrong.
The man fell to the ground and couldn't care about anything else, and shouted: "Mr. Qi, Alex, someone has poisoned him, and he can't pull it." ”
Qi Na's heart beat wildly, and then looked at Emily, Emily didn't know why, and then looked at the person below who turned out to be Wu Jun.
There was still a person standing outside the door, but it was Xiao Xu.
Father Qi was holding a piece of meat on his chopsticks, Wu Jun pounced on him, knocked off the chopsticks in Father Qi's hand, and said in his mouth: "Don't eat, don't eat." ”
Xiao Xu followed, looking a little nervous. He stammered to Qi Na, Emily and Qi Na's family, "Don't eat it, it's dangerous." The more nervous he was, the more he stammered. His eyes didn't dare to look at Qi Na.
Qi Na suddenly understood the origin of his uneasiness.
He clearly remembered that Tian Xiu had mentioned to him that the intelligence agencies of the Ministry of Defense had set up eyeliners around Qi Na to monitor his situation.
It must be Tian Xiu who got the information, she was trapped with her own identity, so Xiao Xu became the best channel, and it was most suitable for him to deal with this matter.
And Xiao Xu himself was cowardly, and finally asked for help from Wu Jun.
Father Qi said dissatisfiedly: "What nonsense? ”
Wu Jun had dealt with Father Qi several times, and they were all very familiar, he gasped and said, "Old man, we are scared to death. I couldn't wait to fly over, but I didn't expect the power outage, we all thought something had happened, and then hit the door. Good thing you're fine. ”
Qi Na's vest was cold, if it wasn't for the power outage, the family would have already eaten. If it was really as they said, someone poisoned it, then the family, plus Emily, would definitely be dead.
At this time, Wu Jun, who had already relieved himself, didn't say much, pulled Qi's father and Qi's mother, and said to Emily and Xiao Xu: "You go down and start the car first, and we'll leave immediately." ”
Wu Jun moved quickly and his attitude was also very resolute, since there was this rumor, then he would be responsible for the safety of Qi Na and his family.
Even if he was questioned by Qi's father, he was uncompromising.
Qi Na followed them downstairs, bought a burger at a McDonald's restaurant on the way, and then opened a room in a five-star hotel in the city to settle Qi's father and Qi's mother, although Qi's father kept complaining and didn't want to live in the hotel, but Wu Jun coped with it, Qi Na also comforted his parents, maybe it's just a false alarm, don't worry.
Having said that, Qi Na was already frowning, and he was already very uneasy in his heart, but unlike before, he seemed to feel a greater crisis.
Wu Jun was in contact with a familiar police friend, and after a while, a police car stopped beside them.
Wu Jun got out of the car to communicate with them. It seems that he has made up his mind, and then comes back to discuss with Qi Na.
Qi Na's parents were present just now, so Wu Jun didn't communicate much with Qi Na, and then he said, "Mr. Qi, do you need them to take things to the police station for testing?" ”
Emily immediately interjected, "Is your information reliable?" ”
Wu Jun didn't say anything, he thought that Qi Na would understand the subtlety.
