Chapter 376: Could that corpse be a sparrow?!
Chapter 376: Could that corpse be a sparrow?!
When the earth lion heard the dragon lion's order, his heart tightened.
He knew Qi Tongwei's importance in the Dragon Group. His steps were heavy, and he rushed towards Qi Tongwei with fear in every step.
When Tu Shi arrived at the smoke-filled field, the pungent smell of burning and smoke filled the air, making him cough uncontrollably.
His eyes were a little stinging from the smoke, but he still tried hard to open his eyes and look for Qi Tongwei in the ruins.
Suddenly, his sight was drawn to a charred corpse.
The body lay on the ground, burned beyond recognition and blackened.
Tu Shi's eyes widened instantly, and he felt as if his heartbeat stopped at that moment.
His lips began to tremble uncontrollably, and his throat seemed to be choked by something. After a long while, he finally uttered a desperate cry: "Sparrow!"
His voice echoed in the silent ruins, carrying endless sorrow and fear.
His legs seemed to have lost all strength and he stumbled towards the corpse.
When he ran to the corpse, his eyes were fixed on the charred body, trying to find some familiar traces from the vague outline.
However, after looking for a while, he suddenly realized that it was a female corpse.
This discovery made him feel relieved, just like a drowning man who suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw.
His body suddenly collapsed like a deflated ball.
He sat on the ground, breathing heavily, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
He kept stroking his chest, trying to calm his pounding heart.
"Fortunately, it's not a sparrow." The earth lion muttered to himself, with a hint of fear in his voice.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart, but at the same time he became more worried about Qi Tongwei's safety.
He searched the surrounding area carefully twice, leaving no corner untouched. After confirming that there was no second body, he reported the situation to Longshi.
"Captain, Sparrow should be safe. His body was not found at the explosion site." Tu Shi's voice reached Long Shi's ears through the intercom.
Longshi was in the middle of a fierce firefight with the smuggling criminals. After hearing Tushi's report, a huge stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
The gun in his hand seemed to have its own consciousness, and he fired a volley of bullets at a smuggling criminal.
The criminal didn't even have time to react before he was beaten to pieces and fell to the ground.
"This sparrow is really a worry for me." Long Shi said viciously, but at the same time he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There was a complicated expression on his face, showing both helplessness about Qi Tongwei always being in danger and relief that he was safe and sound.
"But I'm glad he's okay." Long Shi muttered softly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
After hearing Tu Shi's report, the other members of the Dragon Group also breathed a sigh of relief.
The water lion smiled and said, "I knew that Sparrow wouldn't get into trouble so easily. He is our lucky star."
Golden Lion nodded in agreement, "Yes, but he always takes such risks. We can't let him act alone next time."
Mountain Lion silently clenched his fists and secretly swore in his heart that he would protect Qi Tongwei better next time he carried out a mission.
On the other side of the criminal group, Bellamy's face turned very ugly when he heard his subordinates report that Qi Tongwei's body was not found at the explosion site of the antique room.
He knew that as long as Qi Tongwei was not eliminated, his criminal group would never have peace.
A loyal subordinate noticed Bellamy's expression and said cautiously, "Boss, this Qi Tongwei is like a ghost. He won't die. We have to find a way to get rid of him once and for all."
Bellamy glared at his subordinate and said, "I know what I mean. Do you think I don't want to get rid of him? This guy always ruins my plans."
Bellamy was filled with anger and helplessness, and he began to rethink his plan to deal with Qi Tongwei and the Dragon Group.
......
At this time, Qi Tongwei was in the antique room. His eyes were like sharp eagle eyes, carefully checking the condition of all the antiques.
His movements were methodical. Every time he picked up an antique, he would look at it carefully and then carefully register its information.
When his eyes fell on the safe in the corner, curiosity surged in his heart.
Qi Tongwei walked forward, squatted down, and began to study the lock of the safe.
With his years of experience and superb skills, he opened the safe lock in a short while.
As the door of the safe slowly opened, Qi Tongwei's eyes widened instantly. He was so shocked by the scene before him that he was speechless.
There were more than a dozen antiques in the safe that were lost in my country in the last century.
Qi Tongwei's body trembled slightly. He never thought that those antiques that had been missing for many years and had been searched for by countless people would be in the hands of Bellamy, the boss of the criminal group.
It felt like a flame of anger was burning in his heart, and his fists clenched unconsciously.
"These bastards actually hid our country's treasures here!" Qi Tongwei gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice.
His eyes were filled with resentment, as if he wanted to cut Bellamy into pieces.
These antiques are not only precious cultural relics, but also symbols of national history and culture. They carry the wisdom and hard work of countless ancestors.
But now, it has been taken over by criminals like Bellamy and has suffered varying degrees of damage.
Qi Tongwei's eyes fell on the damaged areas, and he felt a pang of regret in his heart.
He saw a piece of exquisite porcelain with a noticeable crack on the bottle, like an ugly scar that destroyed the original perfection.
There is also an ancient calligraphy and painting with traces of tearing on the edges.
Qi Tongwei carefully picked up the antiques and examined every damaged part, his eyes filled with heartache.
After Qi Tongwei completed the inspection and registration of antiques in the antique room, he planned to contact the outside world.
He immediately found the walkie-talkie and operated it skillfully, wanting to report the situation here to Longshi.
However, no matter how he fiddled with it, there was no response from the intercom.
He frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
He began to observe the surrounding environment carefully, and then he found that this room was completely enclosed. The walls seemed to be made of a special material that even blocked the signal.
"Bellamy is really cautious." Qi Tongwei muttered in a low voice, and he had a better understanding of Bellamy's cunning.
He knew that he could not contact the outside world in this room, so he decided to leave the room first.
