He tried his best to calm himself down and not think about it. However, after clearing his mind, Bei Kailun's words came to his mind again.
"You two are too useless. You were just on a reconnaissance mission and you were chased half to death by bugs."
"That's because you guys staying here are too much of a hindrance and are affecting my performance."
…
Bei Kailun's words were like needles piercing Qi Dong's heart, and for a moment he felt like he couldn't breathe.
He couldn't help but sit up, with a dejected look on his face.
At this moment, Qi Dong felt unprecedentedly discouraged. He felt like a born waste.
In the past, he was like a coward and lost the person he cherished most.
Now that I'm in the team, I'm not good at fighting and I often hold back.
He tried so hard, but always fell behind. At this moment, Qi Dong felt like a failure.
His expression kept changing, and finally he slowly got off the bed.
…
The next morning.
Chen Ye walked out of the room yawning. The doors of the rooms in the villa were all closed.
He walked straight to the door of Qi Dong's house, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.
Dongdong~
"Qidong, let's go buy breakfast together."
As a result, there was no movement in the room.
"What the hell? He's not going to get up, is he?"
Chen Ye was also very puzzled when he saw that there was no movement. You know, Qi Dong was the most diligent person in the entire team.
He always gets up before dawn to exercise, without fail.
Thinking of this, Chen Ye was a little worried that Qi Dong might be sick, so he hurriedly continued to knock on the door.
"Qidong! Qidong!"
Unfortunately, there was still no response.
"Qidong, I'm coming in!"
Chen Ye felt very uneasy and immediately tried to turn the door handle.
The door was not locked, so Chen Ye opened it immediately.
He looked over and saw that the whole room was empty.
"Hey! Where are you? Where are you going so early in the morning?"
Chen Ye walked in and touched his head in confusion.
Just then, Chen Ye saw a note on the table.
He picked up the note, took a look at it, and then shouted in panic.
"Boss, something bad has happened!"
Shen Qiu, who was originally sleeping soundly, suddenly jumped up from the bed with a start.
Bang!
Accompanied by hurried footsteps, the doors of the villa were opened one by one.
Shen Qiu and others rushed out of the room.
"Chen Ye, what happened?"
"Boss, Qidong is gone."
Chen Ye said quickly.
"What's going on?"
Shen Qiu was confused.
"Look at the note he left."
Chen Ye then handed the note to Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu took it and took a look, his face turned dark.
"Boss, thank you very much for your care during this period. If it weren't for you, I might have died or lived like a stray dog in the defeated church. During these days in the team, I have been very happy and felt more fulfilled than ever before. However, my strength is too poor and I have been dragging the whole team down. Every time we fight, you have to distract yourself to take care of me. This is not what I want to see. I am too useless, so I decided to leave the team. I made this decision after careful consideration, not on impulse, so don't look for me. Finally, thank you very much..."
Yun Xiaoxi asked Chen Ye with a puzzled look on her face.
"Chen Ye, why did Qi Dong leave?"
"I don't know either."
Chen Ye was also very puzzled.
"Just leave, isn't that perfect? You are very self-aware."
Bei Kailun leaned against the wall with his hands crossed and said lightly.
When Shen Qiu heard this, he turned his head with a dark face and looked at Bei Kailun.
"Bekelon, what did you do?"
"I didn't do anything. I just think he made a good choice. He can't keep up with the team at all, and staying here would only hinder them."
Bei Kailun said lightly.
"Bei Kailun, you are not allowed to say that about him. Although Qi Dong is not as strong as you, he has always been the one who works the hardest. And when I brought in reinforcements, he immediately thought of you. How can you say that about him?"
Chen Ye said very angrily.
"I'm telling the truth. A strong person doesn't need to be saved. He has to rely on himself! And I didn't say that he's a bad person. He's just not suitable for this team."
Bei Kailun said expressionlessly.
"Okay, stop talking! What are you guys arguing about? I haven't hung up yet. I have the final say on this team."
Shen Qiu was so confused that even his own team could have problems. If he was in charge of so many people, there would be a lot of trouble.
"Hmph, Shen Qiu, don't think what I said is harsh. I am being realistic! The most basic requirement for all members of the Tianji Club is not to cause trouble to others. Everyone must be strong enough to stand on their own!"
Bei Kailun said coldly.
"Okay, don't talk about that. They are veteran players. They are all newcomers and they definitely need time to grow."
Shen Qiu said with a headache.
After listening to Shen Qiu's words, Bei Kailun said nothing.
Chen Ye then looked at Shen Qiu.
"Boss, what do we do now?"
"Okay, why are you panicking? He's not dead. I'll make a phone call first."
Shen Qiu then raised his bracelet and dialed Qi Dong's number.
As expected, the call could not be connected at all. The phone was turned off when I called.
"Or I'll go after him."
Chen Ye quickly volunteered.
"Forget it, there's no need to chase him. Let him calm down a bit. When he figures it out, he'll come back naturally."
Shen Qiu pondered for a moment and felt that it was not appropriate to chase him back now. Since it had happened, let him calm down first.
"All right."
Chen Ye hesitated for a moment, but finally responded.
Shen Qiu originally wanted to say something.
Suddenly the bracelet vibrated and a call came in.
"Boss, is that Qi Dong?"
Chen Ye's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
Shen Qiu took a look and shook his head.
"No, it's Ryuji!"
"oh."
Chen Ye said somewhat disappointedly, to be honest, after spending so much time together, he and Qi Dong got along the best.
Although Qi Dong was not very strong, he always stood in front of Chen Ye in every battle and never retreated. Even if he was going to die, he would not blink an eye.
"Let's all go."
Shen Qiu spoke to Chen Ye and others, then picked up the phone and walked aside.
"Ryuji."
"Haha, you kid are not still sleeping in, are you?"
"I didn't get up. What happened?"
"I'm in Clear Sky City now. I'll send you an address. Come find me here."
Long Er said to Shen Qiu.
"good!"
Shen Qiu nodded in response.
So Ryuji hung up the phone.
Shen Qiu then shouted to Yun Xiaoxi and others.
"I'm going out to meet Long Er. Call me if you have anything."
"OK."
Yun Xiaoxi responded while yawning.
…
A moment later, Shen Qiu rode his motorcycle and arrived at an inconspicuous tavern in Jiuhuan according to the address given by Long Er.
The door of the pub was ajar.
Shen Qiu walked in suspiciously and shouted.
"Ryuji?"
"Stop shouting. I'm here. Come in and close the door."
Ryuji said while sitting at the bar.
Shen Qiu closed the door, walked in and asked strangely.
“Is this your store?”
"Not just borrowing it."
Ryuji said with a smile.
"You shouldn't be?"
Shen Qiu's eyelids jumped suddenly and asked.
"Hush! There's no particularly quiet place for us to meet. Please make some adjustments. I'll pay for it."
Long Er picked up the wine on the bar, unscrewed the lid and said with a smile.
"All right."
Shen Qiu replied with a helpless smile.
