Chapter 578 The Crisis Behind the Mysterious Totem

In the next few days, Long Xiaoyun took the initiative to find Qi Tongwei.

The moment Qi Tongwei looked up and saw Long Xiaoyun, he felt that she was a little different from before.

She still stood tall and straight, walked with a breeze, and spoke and acted with the same decisiveness, but occasionally a different kind of gentleness appeared between her eyebrows.

Qi Tongwei was full of curiosity and couldn't help asking, "How have you been recently?"

When Long Xiaoyun heard this question, her cheeks suddenly turned red, and the blush quickly spread across her face like the sunset in the sky.

She said shyly, "I'm engaged."

When Qi Tongwei heard the news, he was stunned at first, his eyes widened slightly, and his face was full of surprise.

This news came as a surprise to him. In his impression, Long Xiaoyun had always devoted herself to work and training. He did not expect that her life had changed so much during the time he was on a mission outside.

However, this surprise was soon replaced by joy.

Qi Tongwei was genuinely happy for Long Xiaoyun. The corners of his mouth curled up into a huge smile, and he immediately said, "Congratulations! I didn't even know about this outside. I'll give you a big red envelope later."

After hearing this, Long Xiaoyun didn't show any politeness at all, but smiled even more brightly.

Her eyes sparkled with happiness as she said, "I'm going to keep the red envelope the captain gave me. He's not from the army, and we're planning a trip to get married. Otherwise, I really want you to meet him."

Qi Tongwei waved his hand, his eyes full of trust, and said: "You are my good assistant. I believe in your ability and even more in your vision."

"You are so outstanding. Anyone you think is good must be very outstanding."

Long Xiaoyun's smile became even brighter. She seemed to be lost in beautiful memories and said slowly, "He is a very warm person."

“Although he doesn’t have the toughness of a soldier, he has his own unique charm.”

"He is very attentive and can always detect subtle changes in my mood. When I am stressed out at work, he will quietly prepare a cup of hot tea for me or go for a walk with me."

Qi Tongwei listened carefully and nodded from time to time. He could feel Long Xiaoyun's deep love for her fiancé from her words.

"He sounds like a very nice person. How did you meet him?"

Qi Tongwei asked curiously.

A sweet smile appeared on Long Xiaoyun's face, and she said, "It was actually a chance encounter."

"I went to a friend's party that day and I accidentally spilled a drink on him."

"I was so embarrassed and kept apologizing, but he didn't get angry at all. He even smiled and said it was okay. This made me feel a little overwhelmed."

"Then we started chatting and found that we had many common interests and hobbies, and gradually we came together."

Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "This is fate."

"So where are you planning to travel to get married?"

Long Xiaoyun's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "We want to go to the seaside and find a quiet island to hold a simple and warm wedding there."

"It's just the two of us, with blue sky, white clouds, blue sea and beach as our companions."

Qi Tongwei imagined that beautiful picture and said, "It sounds very romantic."

"Does your family agree with this idea?"

Long Xiaoyun nodded and said, "Yes, they all support us."

"After all, as long as we are happy."

Qi Tongwei felt relieved when he saw Long Xiaoyun's happy face.

He knew that Long Xiaoyun had found her own happiness, which was a very beautiful thing.

Qi Tongwei had not been in the army for half a month when his peaceful days were disrupted by a temporary mission.

Qi Tongwei hurried to He Zhijun's office. As soon as he entered, he noticed the depressing atmosphere.

The lights in the office were not on, only the computer screen emitted a faint cold light, reflecting He Zhijun's worried face.

When He Zhijun saw Qi Tongwei, he sighed heavily.

He said solemnly, "Tongwei, are you familiar with this pattern?"

As he spoke, he turned the computer screen slightly so that Qi Tongwei could see more clearly.

Qi Tongwei's gaze fell on the screen. It was a strange totem with two bullets embedded in the crescent.

The moment he saw this totem, Qi Tongwei's expression instantly became serious, and his brows were tightly locked together, like two mountains squeezed together.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, including vigilance, memories, and a hint of imperceptible fear.

Qi Tongwei’s mind quickly flashed through several previous encounters with this totem.

Those experiences played quickly before his eyes like movie clips.

The first time I saw this totem was when I was on a mission abroad.

At that time, they suddenly found this totem mark on the weapons of some mysterious figures in a chaotic battlefield.

Those people acted stealthily and their combat style was fierce and efficient. They were like ghosts hidden in the darkness, causing considerable trouble to Qi Tongwei and his teammates.

Another time, it was in an intelligence station after it was attacked.

This totem was painted on the wall with blood. The bloody and provocative picture is still deeply imprinted in Qi Tongwei's mind.

At that time, this totem was like a silent threat, indicating that there was a powerful and dangerous force behind it that was secretly controlling everything.

Qi Tongwei took a deep breath and said slowly: "I have seen this several times. This seems to be a killer organization. Why are they suddenly investigating this?"

His voice was low and serious.

He knew that once this killer organization appeared in their sight again, it would mean trouble and danger would follow.

"Two of our special forces soldiers who were carrying out a secret mission in Country X suddenly lost contact, and the last message they sent back was this totem."

He Zhijun leaned back in his chair and explained the cause of the incident.

When Qi Tongwei heard the news, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

He knew that during the execution of the secret mission, every step was carefully planned and arranged, and sudden loss of contact rarely happened, let alone involving this mysterious totem.

Qi Tongwei's expression became more serious, and he asked anxiously, "How long have they been out of contact?"

He Zhijun frowned and said slowly, "A full 48 hours."

He looked ahead with a somewhat dull gaze, as if he was recalling something, or as if he was worried about the two missing soldiers.

Qi Tongwei knows very well what this time means.

For special forces with strong adaptability, even in the most severe environment, they will try their best to use all available equipment around them to contact headquarters and report their safety.

In previous missions, being missing for twelve hours meant being life-threatening, because every extra minute of loss of contact could lead to more unknown dangers and variables.

And now a full forty-eight hours have passed, which almost means that they are in great danger.

Qi Tongwei began to quickly analyze various possibilities in his mind.

This totem is likely inextricably linked to their disappearance.

Perhaps these two special forces soldiers accidentally discovered the traces of this killer organization while performing their mission and were targeted.

This killer organization is known for its cruelty and efficiency. They may have launched a surprise attack before the two special forces soldiers had time to react.

Or perhaps, the secret discovered by these two special forces soldiers is closely related to the power behind this totem. They are regarded as thorns in the eyes of this organization, so they were kidnapped or killed in a premeditated manner.

The more Qi Tongwei thought about it, the more critical the situation seemed, and his fists clenched unconsciously.

He Zhijun seemed to be pondering the same question. He rubbed his temples and said wearily, "This totem definitely didn't appear by chance."

"They passed this totem back at the end, probably to tell us that their disappearance was related to this killer organization."

Qi Tongwei nodded and said, "That's right."

"We must act quickly to find out the layout of this killer organization in Country X. Perhaps we can also find the whereabouts of the two fighters."

There was determination in his eyes. Although the situation looked very serious, he knew that he could not hesitate for a moment and had to race against time to find the whereabouts of his comrades.

He Zhijun sat up straight, his eyes rekindled with fighting spirit. He looked at Qi Tongwei and said, "I think so too."

"This mission is extremely dangerous. I want you to lead a team to Country X to investigate. Do you have the confidence?"

Qi Tongwei answered without hesitation: "Yes!"

"I will do my best to bring my comrades back and uncover the true identity of this killer organization."

His voice was firm and powerful, as if he was ready to face any challenge.

Qi Tongwei immediately asked what mission they were carrying out and where they were before they disappeared.

He Zhijun took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and walked to the map hanging on the wall of the office.

He pointed to a coordinate point on the map and said to Qi Tongwei with a serious expression: "They are carrying out their mission at this location. Their mission is to protect an important document."

"This document concerns a major strategic deployment of our country in Country X and involves a great deal of confidential information. Its importance is self-evident."

He Zhijun's eyes revealed a hint of worry. He continued, "Now that they've disappeared, judging by the current situation, the documents are probably gone too."

"These two special forces soldiers are elite soldiers who have undergone rigorous training and have rich experience. They will not give up their mission easily."

"Now that they have been out of contact for so long, the documents are likely to have fallen into the hands of the other party."

Qi Tongwei frowned, his eyes fixed on the coordinate point on the map, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he slowly said, "This organization shouldn't act rashly against us."

Qi Tongwei began pacing around the office, analyzing as he walked: "Although this assassin organization acts ruthlessly, they have always been cautious."

"Our special forces are not to be trifled with. They must have made sufficient preparations before carrying out their missions and will not easily reveal their whereabouts."

"If this organization wants to take action against us, it must have made the decision after careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons."

He stopped, looked at He Zhijun and continued, "Based on our previous understanding of this organization, they usually don't touch targets protected by powerful military forces."

"The special forces we sent were of a very high rank, which in itself is a deterrent."

"Moreover, they should also be aware of the serious consequences that could result from taking action against us. This could trigger a military conflict between the two countries and even make them the target of public criticism."

He Zhijun listened to Qi Tongwei's analysis and nodded, but still said with some concern: "What you said makes sense, but now two soldiers are missing and the documents are missing. All this shows that this killer organization must have some conspiracy."

"Perhaps they have some special reasons, or perhaps there is a larger force behind them directing them to act recklessly against our people."

Qi Tongwei said: "This is also what I am worried about."

"If that's the case, then the force behind this is definitely not simple."

"We must quickly understand the motives of this assassin organization and the forces behind them, so that we can locate the two fighters and recover the documents."

He Zhijun walked to the desk, picked up a document, handed it to Qi Tongwei, and said, "This is all the information we currently have about this killer organization. It's not much, but it may be helpful to you."

"You must leave for Country X as soon as possible. The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."

Qi Tongwei took the document and said firmly, "Yes, Captain."

"I will complete the task as soon as possible."

He knew that this mission was full of unknowns and dangers, but in order to retrieve his comrades and regain the documents, he had to move forward bravely.
