Chapter 550 1 The family is anxious
I don't know why, but my legs felt weak when I stood up.
"Zhongyi, did you get through on the phone? How's it going? Is Changqing okay?"
Huo Zhongyi forced a smile and said to Zhang Jingjing, "Jingjing, I've already talked to them on the phone. Their leader said that the mission is almost completed and they will be back in a few days. When the time comes, let Changqing call you and don't worry. Tomorrow, let your mother take you to the hospital for a thorough checkup to see if you are feeling unwell."
Although Huo Zhongyi said this, Zhang Jingjing could see that he was not in a good mood, so the authenticity of his words is questionable.
"Dad, tell me the truth. Is Changqing really okay? If there is anything, you must tell me. Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. I can handle it. But I just want to know the truth. Do you understand me?"
Hearing what Zhang Jingjing said, Huo Zhongyi's face suddenly fell again.
Things are indeed not that simple. The team led by Huo Changqing encountered an emergency during the mission, and five of them have died. As for Huo Changqing, he is still missing.
But from what they say over there, I'm afraid it's a dangerous situation. They have suffered a big defeat this time, and the army has already sent people over.
As for what exactly happened, no one knows and we can only wait for news.
Huo Zhongyi originally wanted to keep it a secret from Zhang Jingjing so that she could rest and take care of her pregnancy. As for the problem with Huo Changqing, the whole family got together to discuss it.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingjing saw through his lies. Huo Zhongyi had no choice but to sigh and briefly explain the matter.
After hearing what Huo Zhongyi said, everyone's heart sank, especially Wu Peilan and Zhang Jingjing. They felt their legs go weak and they couldn't even stand.
Zhang Jingjing was lying on the bed at the moment and nothing could be seen, but Wu Peilan had already slid down and was being held tightly by Huo Zhongyi beside her.
This is a very conservative statement, but they were born in this kind of family after all, and they have heard of such things. They are said to be missing, but in all likelihood, the people are probably no longer alive.
Huo Changqing is her son, her hope, and her pride. If she were to die before him at an old age, Wu Peilan really would not be able to bear the blow.
As I thought about this, my eyes started to turn red.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could anything happen to our Chang Qing? I asked someone to tell our son's fortune, and he said that our son will live to be a hundred years old!"
Wu Peilan clutched her husband's sleeve tightly, her voice hoarse.
Wang Gui'e and others on the side were also very emotional.
The old lady's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
For a while, the house was in chaos.
Mr. Huo's hands were shaking slightly, but his face remained calm.
"Don't say such discouraging words. It's normal to go missing while on a mission. I've been a soldier for so many years and have fought countless times on the battlefield. What kind of dangers have I not encountered? As long as the results are not revealed, don't be so pessimistic. Don't worry, I'll go out and make some more contacts. Changqing will be fine. This child has a promising future. His current honor cannot be the end of him."
The old man spoke with great force and power, and after hearing these words, everyone felt a little calmer.
With the old man around, the Huo family has confidence. If the old man says it's okay, then it must be okay.
After saying that, the old man called the guard and asked the driver to drive him out.
Everyone stayed at home, all with heavy hearts. But there was no point in worrying, after all, the place where Huo Changqing and his team were on a mission was a great distance away from them, and they couldn't get there in a short time.
All we can do now is wait, wait for news from the old man and wait for news from the troops.
Zhang Jingjing closed her eyes, touched her belly, and prayed silently in her heart that Huo Changqing would be safe. She couldn't live without this man now. Not only her, but also the baby in her belly and the three little ones couldn't live without him.
Zhang Jingjing couldn't even imagine what she would do in the future if something happened to Huo Changqing.
Wang Gui'e was in a heavy mood, but she was more worried about her daughter than Huo Changqing.
"Child, don't think too much. Good people are blessed by heaven. I don't think Changqing is a child with a bad fate. He will definitely live a long life. How can a soldier go out on a mission without danger? This is all normal. Maybe he was injured and you felt it. Soldiers are bound to be injured. Don't worry too much. The old man has gone out. It will probably be soon. He will bring back good news. You have to take care of yourself."
Zhang Jingjing also knew that now was not the time to be anxious, and her body would not allow any major problems to occur.
But emotions are something that no one can control. She was still shaking all over and had a bad feeling in her heart. Whenever she closed her eyes, she could see the scene of Huo Changqing getting into trouble.
No wonder I couldn’t get through to him on the phone these two days. It turns out he was on a mission. He used to go on missions frequently, so why was it so dangerous this time?
Zhang Jingjing couldn't help but think of what she said when Huo Changqing left a while ago. To be honest, she really didn't want Huo Changqing to be on the front line. She would rather Huo Changqing was an ordinary person.
"Mom, I feel bad, but don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the child. I know my limits."
The whole family was immersed in grief. Everyone sat in the living room without saying a word. Even though it was already three or four o'clock in the morning, no one could sleep.
The old man hasn't come back yet. How can they sleep peacefully without any news?
Wu Peilan advised Zhang Jingjing to take a rest, but Zhang Jingjing didn't listen at all, and later she was too lazy to persuade her anymore.
Because of Zhang Jingjing's current condition, she couldn't fall asleep even if she was lying in bed.
After waiting for about five or six hours, the old man finally came back. When everyone saw Mr. Huo coming back, they hurried to greet him.
"Grandpa, what's going on? Do you have any news? Is Changqing okay? What's the situation now?"
Zhang Jingjing asked repeatedly, her eyes full of hope.
The old man sighed, his expression still very grim.
"Alas! I'm afraid there are some problems this time. I contacted them and they did go wrong during the operation. But now the army has sent a new team to provide support. We will have news soon. Let's be optimistic. There shouldn't be any major problems."
After the old man said this, everyone felt even more depressed. How could it be that everything was fine? So many people who were traveling with him died, and Huo Changqing was still missing. If everything was fine, they would have found him long ago.
With so many people going there, they would have found the person even if they searched. Something must have happened.
If something really happened, there wouldn't be no body left, at least the body would be intact.
Thinking of this, Wu Peilan couldn't help but burst into tears.
"It's okay. It's definitely okay. If anything happens to Changqing, I won't live anymore!"
