Chapter 1142 (1/2)
More than half an hour later, Qian Liming turned back again. He walked into the hall on the first floor and saw Li Qing still sitting in silence in his chair. He asked with a smile, ”brother, there are still five or six hours before dawn. Where do you sleep tonight?”
Li Qing glanced up at him and said faintly, ”sleep in the room next to you.”
”Ha ha, OK, I'm relieved to have you here.” Qian Liming smiled and clapped his hands, and then waved to the bodyguard behind him. ”You two go back and have a rest. My eldest brother is here. Nothing will happen.”
”Yes.” the bodyguards nodded and respectfully withdrew.
Qian Liming poured two glasses of red wine, clamped it between the uninjured fingers, turned back and handed Li Qing a cup: ”Xiaomei said she was a little tired. She went back to her room to have a rest first.”
”HMM.” Li Qing took the tall wine glass in his hand and gently nodded his head. ”Are you sure you want to close him? This is our only chip now.”
”Don't worry, I can't find a safer place than me in the whole Mingtai.” Qian Liming took a sip of red wine and patted his chest confidently. ”I starved the boy for a few days and consumed his energy. He almost scared me to death these two times, so I have to recover some interest.”
Hunger can greatly consume a person's physical strength. Li Qing has no objection that prisoners are a common practice to prevent escape.
”Big brother.” Qian Liming pulled a chair close to Li Qing and sat down, ”what's the matter with that picture?”
”You say this?” Li Qing turned the photo between his fingers. Seeing Qian Liming's busy nodding his head, he asked low, ”don't you think this person is a little familiar?”
”Ah?” Qian Liming scratched his head blankly and stared at the woman in the old photo. ”Brother, this woman must be fifty or sixty years old now. How can I recognize it.”
Li Qing said, ”I'm not saying you know her. I'm asking you, do you think she looks familiar?”
”Er, this...” Qian Liming looked carefully again and took a breath gently. ”If you say so, it seems that she really looks familiar. Especially the part of her eyes, it seems that she has seen it somewhere...”
Qian Liming tilted his head, frowned and thought hard: ”where have you seen it? I can't remember it at all...”
Li Qing stared at Qian Liming and asked faintly, ”do you still have contact with Lisa recently?”
”Ah? Lisa?” Qian Liming looked at Li Qing with confused eyes and couldn't help shaking his head. ”The last time she called me to ask for your news, it should be half a month ago. Brother, why did you suddenly mention her?”
”What did he ask?”
”Well... It's what you've been doing recently, whether you're going to get married or not.” Qian Liming said with a grin, ”Miss Lisa is like a girl's house when she mentioned you. She even softens her language, tut...”
Facing Li Qing's unblinking eyes, Qian Liming stopped suddenly. Then his body trembled fiercely, and a touch of cyan surged on his fat cheek.
Li Qing asked coldly, ”like?”
Qian Liming only felt a chill pouring into his heart from the bottom of his feet, his hand trembled slightly, and the wine in the cup shook a little.
”Big... Big brother.” Qian Liming wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, ”no... no such coincidence.”
Li Qing asked again, ”like?”
Qian Liming's Adam's apple rolled for a while. Due to tension, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly: ”if you say so, it's a bit like...”
As soon as the voice fell, Qian Liming hurriedly added, ”it's not so coincidental.”
”Lisa showed me a picture of her mother. Although it has been so many years, I am still very impressed.” Li Qing stared at the yellow picture in her hand, and a strange color passed through her eyes. ”This is indeed Lisa's mother, Mrs. Shen.”
”Ah!” Qian Liming suddenly screamed and loosened his hand. The tall red wine glass fell to the ground, smashed with a bang and splashed with wine.
Qian Liming Teng stood up, his body trembled, opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time, and didn't say a word.
”Lisa Er once mentioned that Mrs. Shen was keen on charity when she was young and often went to the orphanage as a volunteer.” Li Qing said slowly with a calm face, ”so I can infer that the man should have grown up in the orphanage.”
Qian liming was stunned for a long time before he reluctantly smiled: ”there's such a coincidence, brother. It's probably just a coincidence. It's not normal that Mrs. Shen happened to have been to this orphanage and that boy also grew up there.”
”I hope so.” Li Qing sighed gently and stuffed the picture into one of his pockets. His eyes sank slightly and he hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't say what he was most worried about.
After a long silence in the room, Qian Liming asked cautiously, ”brother, do you want to tell Miss Lisa about this?”
”Not for the time being.” Li Qing waved his hand. ”Maybe it's really just a coincidence. There's no need to upset her.”
Qian Liming nodded, ”OK.”
Li Qing nodded, looked at his wrist watch, stood up and walked to the stairs: ”it's very late. Go back to your room and have a rest. I have to go to Xingfa island tomorrow.”
”Ah?” Qian Liming looked surprised. ”Brother, do you want to go?”
