Chapter 1457 (1/2)
After a long chat for half an hour, Li Qing reluctantly hung up the call.
”Why give hope if you can't give her an answer?”
Lin Qiuqiu's words always lingered in Li Qing's mind, which made him unable to let go. He thought and thought, and finally he was stunned to find that he was selfish in the final analysis. He is not willing to give up every beautiful woman who has passed through his life. He is not afraid of their despair, but clearly he can't give up.
”There's really no way to get the best of both worlds.” Li Qing put down his cell phone and curled up in bed, trapped in deep distress.
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door outside.
”Hmm?” Li qinglue thought. He thought that Lu Yun would be the one who could knock on his door so late.
”No, you can't open the door.” he thought to himself that if he really wanted to let Lu Yun in, he would have to call Lin Qiuqiu tomorrow to admit his mistake
Li Qing made up his mind and didn't open the door.
The knock on the door rang again for a little while, and suddenly a soft and pleasant voice came out: ”Li Qing, are you there?”
”Eh? No.” Li Qing turned over from the bed and sat up with a slight pick on the tip of her eyebrows.
He got out of bed, opened the door and found that the man standing outside was Qiao Xue. She wrapped a long pure white bathrobe, and her hair was wet, adding a bit of purity and beauty.
Li Qing never thought that she would be the one who appeared outside her door tonight. No wonder the woman asked herself when she was downstairs if she wanted to sleep with other women tonight. It turned out that she wanted to
”Well, what's up?”
Qiao Xue's pretty face was slightly red, turned her head and looked into the corridor, pursed her small mouth and said, ”you let me into the house.”
”Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.” Li Qing regained consciousness, quickly let her into the house and locked the door.
Qiao Xue sat down gently by the bed and raised her small face to face Li Qing. The atmosphere in the room was a little ambiguous and embarrassing.
Li Qing looked at her and herself. Both of them were wearing bathrobes. It seemed that the next step was to undress and do something indescribable
Qiao Xue muttered, ”I came here secretly after taking a bath...”
”Er...” Li Qing nodded. ”I know. Looking at your mysterious appearance, if it's not an affair, it should be something to say?”
”Bah.” Qiao Xue spat gently and said slowly, ”I apologize for tonight. In fact, I don't believe you, but considering your relationship with Zhong Ruoxi, I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed among us.”
”What do you mean now? You're going to embarrass me?”
”Not at all.” Qiao Xue smiled. ”It's just something to tell you.”
”HMM.” Li Qing nodded, pulled the chair in the corner and sat down, ”tell me, I'll listen.”
”Do you know why I came back this time?”
”I heard Ruoxi say something. It seems that the establishment of the inspector's office is going to be abolished and a new Department is going to be established.” Li Qingyan said slightly, ”to a deeper level, it's your factional struggle.”
”Oh, I can see that you have a good relationship, and she is willing to disclose this top secret news to you.” Qiao Xue chuckled. ”Recently, there have been constant domestic and foreign troubles. They want to strengthen their control over the port. A stable inspector's office is far from enough. The newly established special system is the Ministry of justice, and Zhong Ruoxi will be the first minister.”
”Legal department?” Li Qing frowned. ”I've never heard of such a department.”
”Just because I haven't heard it, it's terrible.” Qiao Xue's voice was very low, ”Do you know what the Ministry of justice is? It is the unification of judicial administration. It is only responsible for Yanjing and has amazing power. In other words, the chief executive has been overhead. As long as this department is established, Zhong Ruoxi will no longer have to look at the eyes of the Executive Council. She can do what she wants in Lingang without scruples.”
Li Qing couldn't help approaching her and asked in a low voice, ”why do you say this to me?”
”You have a close relationship with Zhong Ruoxi, which may be a good thing for you, but I also hope you pay attention to risks. The greater the power, the more people will covet.”
”Thank you.” Li Qing hesitated for a moment and said again, ”what happened to Zhou Wenhao... Haven't you... Put it down yet?”
Qiao Xue was slightly stunned and immediately relieved: ”he used to be a mentor in my heart. How can he put it down? I really have no choice but to take Zhong Ruoxi now, but as long as I have the opportunity...”
Li Qingxin was surprised: ”what do you mean?”
”It's obvious that Zhong Ruoxi can't get rid of Zhou Wenhao's death. The so-called murderer was just a trick she used to appease the people.”
Li Qing knew she was right, but she still said with a dry smile, ”it's impossible, aren't you...”
”Li Qing, the resolution on the establishment of the Ministry of justice and the candidate for the first minister had been formulated as early as six months ago. But at that time, neither Zhou Wenhao nor I knew.” Qiao Xue's voice was a little cold. ”Think about it? If Zhong Ruoxi has been determined, she will certainly return to Lingang and make a gradual transition.”
”Where is Zhou Wenhao? How should he deal with himself after he took office for less than half a year? In other words, Zhou Wenhao's death is a conspiracy. His life is just a stepping stone for Zhong Ruoxi, which not only raises the prestige of this woman, but also removes the path of obstruction. His death also makes many big people finally decide to give port more strong control.”
