Chapter 941 (1/2)
Li Qing stood at the street entrance behind Gangbei hospital and looked inside. After pondering for a moment, he walked towards the lonely car under the street lamp.
When the door opened, Xie Hongbo got out of the car, stood by the roadside and lit a cigarette.
Li Qing stood face to face with Xie Hongbo more than ten meters away from the car. The light cast two distorted shadows on the ground.
”Director Zhong is in the car.” Xie Hongbo gently vomited a smoke ring, nodded to Li Qing, then turned around and walked slowly along the sidewalk, leaving him a lonely figure.
Li Qing took a deep breath, quickly approached the car, stretched out his fingers and tapped on the window for a few times.
The window was pulled down, revealing Zhong Ruoxi's beautiful quiet side face: ”get on the bus.”
Li Qing half leaned against the side of the car, one arm against the roof, slightly lowered his head and looked at Zhong Ruoxi: ”the car is too stuffy to breathe. Come out and let's walk.”
Zhong Ruoxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, sat there without saying a word and was silent.
”Isn't it convenient?” Li Qing nodded and sighed softly, ”OK.”
After that, he left the door and turned around to get on the other side. Just after turning the back of the car, the door on Zhong Ruoxi's side suddenly opened.
”Since it's too stewed, let's go.” Zhong Ruoxi said softly, ”you're not afraid of trouble. What am I afraid of?”
A faint smile appeared on Li Qing's cheek and turned back. The two men walked slowly along the dim sidewalk.
Leaning over her head, she quietly stared at Zhong Ruoxi's side face. Li Qing suddenly stretched out her hand to lift the broken hair on her ear, smiled and said, ”did you cut your hair? I remember it was much longer before.”
”It's hard for you to remember.” Zhong Ruoxi said softly. She seemed to be very difficult to express her feelings, so that no matter what she said, it showed a cold meaning.
”It's more beautiful and suitable for you,” Li Qing said with her head tilted.
Zhong Ruoxi suddenly stopped, and her delicate body leaned gently against a lamp post and stopped walking.
Li Qing frowned slightly: ”sorry, I forgot. Is the wound on your leg still ok?”
”I haven't delayed my daily walking for a long time, but I haven't been able to adapt to high-intensity sports.” Zhong Ruoxi whispered, ”it has nothing to do with leg injury. I just don't want to go.”
”Do you feel a little bored?” Li Qing asked. ”I'm not very good at saying goodbye, especially to you, so... I may disappoint you a little today.”
”I'm not good at these, and I don't expect much from you.” Zhong Ruoxi gently sipped her mouth, ”Li Qing, after I leave, you should be more careful. My successor is Zhou Wenhao. He used to work in Yanjing Judicial Bureau. It's different from my system. He should take some drastic measures. Wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Your Li family has been gaining too much momentum recently. Don't be regarded as a sharpener.”
”I understand.” Li Qing nodded, ”what about you? Where are you going?”
”I should... Be promoted.” Zhong Ruoxi smiled mockingly. ”I have been promoted to the first rank and transferred back to Yanjing military headquarters. The specific position is highly confidential and inconvenient to disclose.”
”Yes.”
Zhong Ruoxi quietly looked at Li Qing, and the corners of his lips rose slightly: ”you don't have to worry too much. I promised you before that I would unconditionally protect you. Even if I left Lingang, they would sell me face and wouldn't do too much. But appropriate pressure must be indispensable. You should be mentally prepared and don't overreact. It won't end well at that time.”
Li Qing replied, ”I know that. Don't worry. I won't cause you trouble.”
”I'd rather you bother me more.” as soon as she said it, Zhong Ruoxi consciously made a slip of tongue and gently turned her back to Li Qing, ”I would also like to remind you not to get too close to the Xie family. Everyone knows the situation near Hong Kong, and the remaining three families can't move at all. But that doesn't mean you are safe. On the contrary, as a family decision-maker, you are bound to face a more dangerous situation.”
Zhong Ruoxi's words are not clear, but Li Qing's mind has instantly understood her meaning. The three families can't shake the foundation, but can the owners of the three families move? I'm afraid that controlling the three families by restraining the owners is an important measure to maintain port stability in the future.
”I will pay attention.” Li Qing knows that Zhong Ruoxi's every word tonight is worth keeping in mind.
”Don't forget the past and be the teacher of the future. You should learn a lesson from our affairs and don't get too close to the military and political aspects. The Qi family is in too deep now, but they don't know that there will be problems sooner or later.” Zhong Ruoxi turned around and whispered, ”if one day, you Li family won't eat too ugly.”
”It's better not to eat anything with a fishy smell. It's easy to spoil your stomach.”
”It's best for you to understand this truth. I'm relieved.” Zhong Ruoxi pursed her small mouth and kept silent for a while again. ”I have nothing else to tell. By the way, I heard that you were a father tonight. Congratulations.”
”Thank you.”
”That's it. I have to hurry and go first.” Zhong Ruoxi smiled and turned to the car.
