Qi Kuan sat cross-legged behind the coffee table, the pen between his fingers tapping rhythmically on the tabletop. Two rings, then three rings, had lasted for half an hour.

His face was gloomy, his eyes fixed on the newspaper pressed under his hand, the veins in his temples bulging and jumping suddenly.

"Yang Xixi..."Qi Kuan took a breath lightly, and the cold wind of the air conditioner made him shudder, "What kind of enmity do I have with you..."

There was a sound of footsteps from outside the house, and without a knock, the door was suddenly opened. A middle-aged man in his mid-forty-fifth with a bushy beard under his chin appeared at the door.

"Xiaokuan, you're back. ”

The person who spoke was Qi Kuan's eldest brother Qi Tai, that is, the eldest son of Qi Yiping, the head of the Qi family, and the father of Qi Jiacheng.

Qi Yiping has three sons under his knees, the eldest son Qi Tai, who is responsible for the Qi family's business outside Lingang and part of the family's internal affairs, and is also the family successor designated by Qi Yiping. The second son, Qi De, held an important position in the Lingang garrison and was the mainstay of the Qi family. The boy Qi Kuan, who served as the director of the Gangbei City Police Department, cleared the obstacles of the Qi family. The relationship between these three brothers has always been good, and they are both inside and outside, making the Qi family an unusually strong barrier.

"Hmm. Qi Kuan replied in a low voice, but he didn't raise his head.

"What's wrong? Sullen look..."Qi Tai walked slowly to the coffee table, lowered his head and looked at Qi Kuan. His eyes caught a glimpse of the newspaper on the table, and it was instantly clear.

Zitai leaned down and grabbed the corner of the newspaper. Qi Kuan, on the other hand, pressed his fingers down and used some force slightly. However, this little trick did not hinder Qi Tai, and with a little force, he pulled out the newspaper.

"Where's Father?" Qi Kuan asked in a deep voice.

"There have been a lot of things going on in Gangbei International recently, and I haven't come back yet. Qi Tai replied casually, "If you have something, you can tell the eldest brother." ”

"It's fine. Qi Kuan got up and picked up his clothes from the sofa, "I'll go back first." ”

Qi Tai glanced at the newspaper in his hand, slowly sat on the sofa, and sighed softly: "This article, my father has already read it in the morning." ”

The front foot had just stepped out of the door, but Qi Kuan's feet were slammed. He hesitated for a moment before turning his head and asking, "What did Father say?"

"He was angry. Qi Tai shook his hand with the newspaper, "We need to take steps to shut up this reporter named Yang Xixi." ”

Qi Kuan retreated into the room and closed the door with his backhand: "Big brother, leave this matter to me." I'm covered in lice now, and I'm not fit to pull our family into the water anymore. ”

"This is your home, I am your brother, and if you want to die, everyone will drown together. Qi Tai turned his head to stare at Qi Kuan, his gaze gradually became stern, "You come back and sit down!"

Qi Kuan nodded silently, walked back and sat opposite Qi Tai, and put his clothes on his lap.

"Over there in Baling Mountain, it's not going well, right?"

"Hmm. Qi Kuan nodded and replied in a deep voice.

"You don't want to think about Li Qing's background, what he is best at is this kind of trick. It's no wonder that you can bargain for his strengths with your own shortcomings. Qi Tai reprimanded angrily, "Especially the woman named Ma Lijun, what did my father say to you in the first place? You, how can you do such an unreliable thing?"

"When did you have a shortage of food and clothing at home? Do you have to hook up with Zilwood's lazy food? Now that the matter is revealed, you want to kill people, but how can it be so easy? You don't want to think about it..."

"Big brother. Qi Kuan interrupted Qi Tai's words, "Things have come to this point, no matter how much you teach me, it's useless." ”

"You..." Qi Tai stretched out his finger and pointed at Qi Kuan, sighed again, and put down his arm weakly, "Forget it, over there in Baling Mountain, you don't care anymore." ”

"What is the big brother going to do?"

"My father said that Li Qing had left room when he did this, and he did not hand over Ma Lijun directly to Zhou Wenhao, which is the most adequate proof. We also have to follow the rules and not be reckless. If you really want to fight to the death, it will not be good for everyone. Qi Tai said in a deep voice, "Let's talk about it first, with the involvement of Gangbei International, Li Qing is very talkative, as long as our family is soft, it will pass." The trouble now is Zhou Wenhao, and his father is trying to find a way to solve it, don't worry about it for the time being. ”

Qi Kuan gritted his teeth: "It's really cheap for him, I think it's better to let Li Zhi..."

"You save it!" Qi Tai suddenly shouted, staring at his younger brother very dissatisfied, "With Li Shi's three-legged cat's kung fu, ventilating and reporting is already the limit, and you still want him to bring down Li Qing? Do you really think that this Li family master is a soft persimmon pinch? Don't think I don't know what small actions you have made in private, if it weren't for your repeated provocations to Li Qing, things would not have come to this point." My father has said more than once that Li Qing will repay him, and it is best not to provoke him, why do you never listen?"

"As for that Li Shi, you must not count on it. He can be utilized, but never reused. Li Qing stretched out a finger to press him to the ground, not to mention that there was a brilliant and virtuous helper Lin Qiuqiu behind him. My father often said that these two people combined, one is aggressive, the other is cautious, and even he is not an opponent. ”

Qi Kuan frowned impatiently: "I see." ”

Qi Tai stretched out a hand to press the newspaper to the table and knocked it: "Here is the place we should be thinking about now." ”

"Public opinion is already in the dust, if you don't control it, it's not just you who will lose, but the whole family. Qi Tai narrowed his eyes slightly, "This reporter named Yang Xixi is very powerful, and in the past few days, he has published many articles in major newspapers and periodicals that are not under our control. If we continue to let her come around, it will cause public resentment to boil at that time, and it will be difficult for us to end it. Third brother, in the face of you, our family can't play the drama of abandoning the pawn and protecting the car. ”

Qi Kuan pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "It's not that I didn't think about doing it, but she can toss so much, I doubt that Li Qing or the Inspectorate is behind it." ”

"I've checked this as my father wanted, and the results are quite favorable to us. Qi Tai paused slightly, "Li Qing only let a few media under his control open the door for her convenience, other than that, the two have no contact, and the inspectorate obviously does not attach as much importance to public opinion as Li Qing." In other words, this woman is completely on her own. She jumped out at such a time, and I couldn't help but start to suspect that she might have a grudge against us, so she would try to get us, but so far I haven't investigated the relevant content. ”

"In that case, we have nothing to worry about. Qi Kuan grabbed the newspaper on the table and clutched it into a paper ball, "Find someone to kill her!"

"In such a sensitive period, if you kill Yang Xixi, even if you don't leave any evidence, the entire Lingang will be known to women and children, and it is our family who did it. ”

Qi Kuan raised his head and stared at Qi Tai: "Then what should I do? If I don't kill her, what else can I do to shut up this crazy reporter?"

"There is no better way to conquer a person than to conquer her soul and turn her into a walking corpse. Qi Tai's cheeks showed a hint of hideousness, "I have already planned this matter, you don't have to worry, leave it to me." ”

Almost at the same time, Li Qing, who was working on an independent draft of the audit department in his study, was interrupted by a ringing phone.

Li Qing picked up the microphone casually: "I'm Li Qing." ”

The number of the telephone in the study is rarely known to outsiders, so Li Qing subconsciously thought that the caller should be an acquaintance, but he heard a completely unfamiliar woman's voice.

"Hello Master Li, I am here at the Gangbei Morning News, and I would like to invite you to do an exclusive interview. ”

"Oh, that's right. Li Qing straightened up his upper body and breathed a sigh of relief, "Where did you get this number?"

"I beg your pardon, we contacted Miss Lin Qiuqiu first. ”

"Well, I see. Li Qing nodded, if Lin Qiuqiu gave the number, it means that she also agrees with doing this interview.

"Family Master Li, are you still there?"

"In. ”

The voice in the microphone was still humble and polite: "I would like to ask if you would like to be interviewed? We will follow the normal interview procedure, and the final content will be reported after you have signed it." ”

"Yes. ”

"Thank you for giving us this opportunity. The woman on the other side of the phone seemed to be very happy, "Master Li, when will you have time?"

Li Qing said casually: "You can decide." ”

"Uh... We can do it at any time and won't delay you for a long time. Door-to-door interviews or you are involved in coming to our newspaper, you can also choose two ways, I don't know which is more convenient for the Li family?"

Li Qing looked at the time and remembered that he was planning to pick up Lin Qiuqiu from work in the evening, so he simply said: "I'm going to pick up people from Gangbei International in a while, and I will pass by your newspaper office by the way, is it okay?"

"Ah, of course, of course, then I will prepare immediately, notify the reporter, and wait for your arrival at any time. The woman on the other end of the phone said hurriedly.

"Hmm. Li Qing stared at the watch on the wall and confirmed again, "I'll arrive at three o'clock in the afternoon and give you two hours to prepare, okay?"

"Of course, thank you very much, then I'll leave you alone, and I'll see you in two hours. ”

"See you in two hours. Li Qing said and hung up the phone.
