Li Qing put the torn pocket towel into his pocket, then took off his coat and handed it to Su Xiaomei: "You put it on, let's go back to Lushui Villa." ”

The words fell, and Li Qing turned around and hurriedly walked forward along the street.

Su Xiaomei put on a woolen coat behind her, followed in a few steps, and saw Li Qingzheng taking out her mobile phone to make a call.

"Do you want to give the old money?" Su Xiaomei couldn't help asking.

"Shhhh Li Qing made a silent gesture and stopped again.

The phone was quickly connected, Su Xiaomei tilted her head and listened carefully, it was vaguely a woman's voice, obviously not Qian Liming.

"Why are you so fast?"

The corner of Li Qing's mouth tugged slightly: "You should pay attention to what you say." ”

"What's wrong?"

"It's rude to say that a man is fast. ”

There was silence on the phone for a while, and then the woman's pleasant voice sounded again, which was obviously different from the previous meaning: "Li Qing, you are serious." ”

"Seriously. Li Qing smiled, "Something happened today." ”

Before the other party could ask questions, Li Qing had already continued: "I met Qi Jiacheng tonight, he made trouble at the birthday banquet and was taken out in advance by the bodyguards. ”

"And then?"

"I also left early, stayed outside and seized the opportunity, taught Qi Jiacheng a lesson, and stepped on one of his forearms. Li Qing paused slightly, "But don't worry, he doesn't know that the person who did it is me." ”

"What do you think... Will he think it's the Jiang family? won't he suspect you?"

Li Qing said: "It shouldn't be, the Jiang family's attitude towards Qi Jiacheng is very cold tonight, and the two sides are obviously going to fall out." I ask you to do me a favor, Qi Jiacheng was attacked outside Jiang's house, and there may be police involved in the investigation. If they tune in to the surveillance footage on the street, I still have the possibility of being exposed. ”

"You are too self-conscious, and it may not be beneficial for us to involve the Qi family. ”

The corners of Li Qing's lips lifted slightly: "I know, but it must be beneficial to me." ”

"Hmph, selfish guy..."The other party snorted angrily, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll arrange it." The street seems to be in the middle of nowhere, and I guess the surveillance footage must have been broken for a long time. ”

"Thank you. Li Qing smiled and nodded, "Although it didn't work out tonight, the Jiang family seems to be in a hurry." If my expectations are correct, Jiang Junming will definitely ask me out for the second time tomorrow. ”

"Well, stop messing up. ”

"Don't worry, that's it, I'll contact you when there is news. Li Qing said, hung up the call, and reached out to stop a taxi coming from afar.

Su Xiaomei asked, "Who are you talking to on the phone?"

"Inspector Zhong Ruoxi. Li Qing answered Su Xiaomei's question without hesitation, and then reached out and opened the door of the taxi parked in front of him, "Let's go back." ”

The two of them got into a taxi and went all the way back to Lushui Villa.

"Tonight... Thank you very much and get some rest early. After returning to Lushui Villa, Li Qing stood under the street lamp and said to Su Xiaomei.

"Well, you should rest early, too. Su Xiaomei lightly nodded her snow-white chin, turned around and walked back.

"Hey!" Li Qing shouted behind her, "You are so beautiful tonight, that dress suits you very well." ”

Su Xiaomei turned her little head, glanced at Li Qing, and then went back without saying a word.

Li Qing turned around with a smile, took a few steps up the steps, opened the door and walked into the living room.

Qian Liming was sitting on the sofa drinking himself, but he was obviously not in his usual leisurely state.

Li Qing glanced at him: "I didn't see the bodyguard outside the door." ”

"Let them go down and rest. Qian Liming leaned lazily on the sofa, "With big brother, you live here, you don't need that kind of waste, just let me be quiet." ”

Li Qing took off his coat and put it on the sofa, then poured a glass of water and sat down opposite Qian Liming: "Do you have something?"

"Hmm. Qian Liming nodded and leaned forward slightly, "Big brother, Miss Lisa'er called tonight." ”

Li Qing was quite surprised, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh, she didn't call me, what's the situation?"

"She asked you about the latest news, and also about the two pharmaceutical factories you put in charge of Lord Charwales last time. ”

Li Qing took a sip of water: "Well, this is what I asked her to check when I left Mingtai last time, do you have eyebrows?"

"I don't know, she didn't tell me. ”

Li Qing looked at Qian Liming with a scrutinizing gaze: "Since she didn't say it to you, why is this expression?"

Qian Liming tilted his head and frowned: "Miss Lisa'er tonight is very strange, when she asks you for news, she always has a feeling of listening to the truth, which is very different from usual." ”

Li Qing couldn't help but have doubts in his eyes: "What does this mean?"

"Miss Lisa often calls me to ask about you. For example, what have you done recently and what troubles you have encountered. Speaking of these, Qian Liming smiled slightly awkwardly, "I can feel that she usually cares about you." But tonight was different, she seemed to have something on her mind. ”

Li Qing temporarily ignored the fact that Qian Liming had been providing her news to Lisa'er, and her face was solemn: "What do you mean..."

"She doubts you. ”

"What do you suspect of me?"

"It's hard to say. ”

Li Qing's face changed slightly, and after being silent for a while, he nodded lightly: "Got it, I'll call her later." ”

"Well, big brother, you should rest early. Qian Liming carried a bottle of wine, got up and went upstairs slowly.

Li Qing stared at Qian Liming's back and disappeared at the staircase, and the doubt in his eyes became even stronger.

I sat quietly on the sofa alone for a while, and when it was nearly ten o'clock, Li Qing went to take a hot bath.

He went back to his room, picked up his cell phone and dialed the transatlantic call.

The time difference between Italy and Lingang is about six hours, which means that Lingang is ten o'clock in the evening, which is equivalent to four o'clock in the afternoon in Italy.

I waited for a long time, but no one answered. Li Qing hung up the phone and fell into deep thought. He felt that it was unlikely that Lisa'er had not heard the ringtone, and the most likely scenario was that the woman was not going to answer his phone for the time being.

In Li Qing's acquaintance with Lisa'er for several years, this is probably the first time.

What is this woman suspicious?

With a full of questions, Li Qing dialed Wen Yang's number again. After the last separation, Wen Yang went to Italy with Qin Wuchao and became Lisa's personal bodyguard.

This time, the phone was quickly connected, and Wen Yang's excited voice came from it: "Big brother, this is the first time you have called after I went abroad." ”

When he said this, Li Qing was a little embarrassed: "Oh, how are you and Qin Wuchao doing?"

"It's okay, it's just a little boring. That bastard is not honest with a broken hand, and he doesn't do anything all day, and you know I don't like to be with him in the first place. Wen Yang chattered, "By the way, your son is about to turn old, right? I have finished with Qin Wuchao, if I can spare a worker, I will rush back and meet my little nephew." ”

"Okay, but he was born in August last year, and it's only February now, and there's still half a year to go. Li Qing smiled and nodded, "That little guy has already started to speak now, and when you come back, you should also be called uncle." ”

"Oh, there's still so much time..."Wen Yang muttered, "Big brother, I miss you so much, it's better when we're in Yanjing." In August of this year... I don't know if Lisa will have any additional arrangements..."

Li Qing finally found a breakthrough, and hurriedly asked, "What have you been busy with lately, and you guys are working hard with her, right?"

"Ah, it's been okay for the past two days. Wen Yang smiled, "Lisa'er went to England and didn't take me and Qin Wuchao." ”

"Didn't bring you?" Li Qing frowned, "Why wouldn't she take you?"

"I don't know what that woman is crazy about this time, but Qin Wuchao and I are very happy. Lisa has too many problems for ordinary people to serve. Wen Yang said, "But she went to the UK this time for what you explained last time." ”

Li Qing asked knowingly, "What's the matter?"

"It's just... Didn't you ask her to investigate the Lord of Wales last time? Wen Yang reminded, "The latest news, the Lord of Wales passed away from a sudden cerebral hemorrhage last week. ”

"Huh?" Li Qing sat up from the bed, "Dead?" Are you sure it's a normal death?"

Wen Yang replied: "It should be, there is your previous explanation, and the Lord of Wales has some friendship with Lisa's mother, so she has to make a special trip to attend the old man's funeral this time." I've been gone for about four or five days, and I'll be back soon. ”

Li Qing asked again: "What has happened to the two pharmaceutical factories that the Lord of Wales is in charge of?"

"Ah, Lisa is looking into this matter herself, and she's making it mysterious. Wen Yang said in an old-fashioned manner, "In addition, she has also been interested in Demeter, who you asked to investigate last time, and I guess she is planning to make some progress and show off in front of you." Women, just think about it. ”

"yes, I see. Li Qing nodded, chatted with Wen Yang for a while, and then hung up the call.

"How can this be..."Li Qing put down his phone, stared up at the ceiling, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He pondered for a moment before he suddenly realized the secret connection in this series of events.

The conflict with the mysterious organization of Demetre was caused by the fact that the other party suddenly spread its power into Lingang. The line of Lord Wales, who is far away in London, came from Xue Yuexin's request for help from the north of Hong Kong to Mingtai.

The two aspects were originally unrelated, but as Li Qing handed them over to Lisa'er to investigate, they seemed to be pinched together very stiffly.

But before that? Are they really not related?

Li Qing suddenly realized that he might have ignored an extremely important clue all along. The two things that seem to be completely incompatible have already been implicated by one person quite secretly. And Lisa just accidentally glimpsed the secret by chance.
