C1700 That You Don't Have to Do in This Extreme Way
Since he had no other choice, Liu Lei could only tell him the reason behind the assassination attempt.
There were O'Neil's deductions and interrogations, as well as Assassin's answers.
Hearing this, everyone's expressions became heavy.
Xie Lingquan frowned and asked in a deep voice,
"So you're saying that you've transferred Little Qing's danger to yourself, pulled away all the hatred, and attracted all the fire?"
"That's about it. Even if those people come again in the future, they'll only be able to deal with me. They won't deal with Little Qing."
Liu Lei nodded and said.
Since he had already told them everything, there was no need to hide it anymore.
Since his father-in-law and mother-in-law already knew so much about the situation, it would be useless even if he wanted to lie.
Xie Lingquan and Chen Meihua's expression became even more serious when they heard Liu Lei admit to it.
Although their daughters would be safe later on, this seemed like a good thing.
However, it was Liu Lei, their son-in-law, that had to protect them from disaster. This made them unable to be happy.
What's wrong with a son-in-law? A son-in-law is family, too.
They didn't want Xie Yuqing to be in danger or Liu Lei to be in danger. That was the best situation.
However, things were difficult in both worlds. Assassins' organization had to focus their attention on one person and it was impossible for them to not fight both of them.
Therefore, one had to attract attention in order to protect the other.
Even though they understood this logic, both Xie Lingquan and Chen Meihua were still conflicted inside. They felt that they had let Liu Lei down by doing this.
At the same time, they felt incomparably guilty.
They were so noble and treated Xie Yuqing, such a good and perfect son-in-law, with such an aggressive tone. They wanted to ask some questions just now, but they were really sorry.
Liu Lei saw that the atmosphere wasn't good so he smiled and said:
"Father-in-law, you don't have to think too much about it. I'm supposed to protect Little Qing."
"I'm her man. If I don't protect her, who will?"
Neither Xie Lingquan nor Chen Meihua spoke.
The two of them fell silent.
Although they understood that it was true, they still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Even if it was a stranger, they would still feel uncomfortable if they were able to block all the danger for their daughter, let alone if this person was their son-in-law.
We're all one family, why did one of us have to make such a huge sacrifice?
Logically speaking, it should be the family sharing the spoils, and that was the right thing to do.
"No!" I don't think this is good! "
"I don't want you to take on all of my dangers!"
Xie Yuqing finally could not hold it in and wanted to deny Liu Lei's lousy plan.2
The last time Liu Lei had blocked a bullet for her was still fresh in his mind.
Liu Lei had already treated her so well, how could she bear to leave all the danger to Liu Lei?
Emotions were never something a person would constantly give up. One had to pay with both of them. This was the true feeling.
"Yeah, Lei, we don't think so too well either. Why don't we think of something else …"
Xie Lingquan and Chen Meihua also said with hesitation.
Although they hoped that Xie Yuqing would be safe, they did not want Liu Lei to be in danger.
If they had to use Liu Lei's danger as the price, as a sacrifice, they would rather not have him.
Forget it, he could think of another way.
Not necessarily in this extreme way.
If everyone were to think about it together, they would definitely be able to think of a better solution to the problem. Everyone would be overjoyed.
