Lin Qiuqiu, who was asleep, pursed his lips, stretched out his jade hand and touched it on the bed, but only touched the empty sheets. （）

"Li Qing?" Lin Qiuqiu exclaimed, got up suddenly, her beautiful eyes swept around the room, and her eyes were full of panic.

Xiao Simu was awakened by Lin Qiuqiu's sudden strange behavior, his eyes widened, and he burst into tears.

"Simu is good, Simu doesn't cry..."Lin Qiuqiu gently held the baby in his arms, but Meimu didn't give up looking at the whole room for a moment. There was not even a single wrinkle on the sheet on his side, it was empty and there was no trace. Lin Qiuqiu couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that she just had a dream?

The door was pushed open with a creak, Li Qing leaned against the door with a dinner plate, and looked at Lin Qiuqiu with a smile: "You called me?"

The dim beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with dazzling brilliance again, Lin Qiuqiu lowered his head and stared at Xiao Simu's pink little face, and pouted: "Who called you?" ”

"Oh. Li Qing scooped the fruit salad on the plate into his mouth, "It's not even six o'clock, let's sleep for a while." ”

"Don't sleep anymore. Lin Qiuqiu put the baby who was asleep again beside him, grabbed a pillow behind him, leaned lightly on the head of the bed, and glanced at Li Qing with beautiful eyes: "What time is it?

"Just went out for a walk. Li Qing's eyes rolled, "When I saw a piece of bacon, I suddenly felt a little hungry." ”

"Bacon?" Lin Qiuqiu, who didn't know anything, naturally didn't understand Li Qing's ridicule, and his face was instantly full of doubts.

Li Qing smiled, put the plate on the shelf by the wall, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, staring at Lin Qiuqiu's pretty cheeks without blinking: "Qiuqiu, do you think... The Lin family is a little bit wrong. ”

Her pretty face changed color slightly, and Lin Qiuqiu asked softly, "What do you mean?"

Li Qing pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "I just went to Lin Sheng's residence and saw Zhao Liang's body in the reception hall on the first floor of the villa. He hung himself from a chandelier on the roof with a climbing rope. I also found bullet marks at the doorway, as well as marks of a minor fight. ”

Lin Qiuqiu's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment: "Zhao Liang... Dead?"

"With your cleverness, you won't be unaware, will you?"

"If you don't say that, I won't think much about it. Lin Qiuqiu pursed her lips, "When I just came back, I went to my grandfather's residence to see it, but the door was locked and I didn't go in." You also know that I am not welcome in the Lin family, and Lin Yuan said that I have been kicked out of the family and not allowed to enter the mourning hall. ”

Li Qing said: "Then what are you doing when you come back?"

Lin Qiuqiu glanced at Li Qing: "The phone call informing my grandfather of his death was given to me by Lin Yuan." ”

"Tsk..." Li Qing's pupils shrank slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face, "What are they doing? Since you are not welcome, why did they take the initiative to let you come back?"

"Qiuqiu, I'm a little worried. Li Qing pinched Lin Qiuqiu's jade wrist, "Don't stay any longer, let's get out of here and go home, okay?"

As long as Lin Qiuqiu is fine, Li Qing will not pay much attention to what happens to the Lin family, so he will have the urge to take Lin Qiuqiu away from this land of right and wrong at this moment. However, Li Qing waited for a long time, but Lin Qiuqiu lowered his head and said nothing.

"Qiuqiu, what are you thinking?" Li Qing frowned and asked, "Do you still have feelings for here?" Simu is your child, I am your husband, and the Li Family Mansion is your home, why don't you want to leave?"

"You're mistaken. Lin Qiuqiu raised his head slightly, his eyes flashed, and his expression was meaningful, "Father hasn't come back yet." ”

Li Qing sighed, her face full of helplessness: "Qiuqiu, when did he really treat you as a daughter? Do you have to stay so persistent to see him? You listen to me, sometimes, it's better not to see you..."

The words stopped abruptly, and Li Qing found that Lin Qiuqiu was staring at him without blinking, opened his mouth, and his cheeks were stunned.

"What did you think of?" Lin Qiuqiu asked in a low voice.

Li Qing stood up and paced around the room, he felt something flash through his mind, and he had just ignored it when he was speaking.

After the last incident, Lin Qiuqiu had officially separated from the Lin family, and he could not pose the slightest threat to anyone in the Lin family. So after Lin Sheng passed away, why did Lin Yuan make a phone call and call her back to Zhonghai for funeral? Is Lin Qiuqiu still valuable to Lin Yuan? What is her value?

Li Qing's body paused suddenly, his eyes widened, and he stared at Lin Qiuqiu tightly: "Do you think..."

"That's what I thought. Lin Qiuqiu nodded slightly, "It is very likely that they want to be unfavorable to my father, I was called back from Lingang, and I was only a hostage at a necessary moment." ”

"Are they crazy?" Li Qing spread his hands excitedly, "Lin Shiqing, Lin Shiyuan is a brother, and he wants to make a fratricidal drama again? What are they trying to do? With your father's wolf-hearted virtue, he even ignores his own daughter, is it possible that he still has the heart to fight for the Lin family's industry?"

"My father will definitely not fight for the Lin family's property, but he is still a threat to Uncle Shiqing. Lin Qiuqiu reminded softly, "You just said that Zhao Liang hanged himself, and it was in his grandfather's residence before his death. Do you think Grandpa will die a normal death?"

"You mean, Lin Shiqing's father and son killed him?" Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but nod lightly after a moment of silence, "Lin Sheng has always wanted to pass on the Lin family to Lin Mengdie, so he did not hesitate to kill the juniors below. In what you say, in order to protect themselves, it is really possible for them to kill Lin Sheng's old guy. ”

If that's the case, it all makes sense. Li Qing sat down on the edge of the bed again, "Although Lin Shiqing doesn't care about family affairs, he only cares about seeking Buddha. But if it comes to the life and death of his own son, it doesn't necessarily turn a deaf ear. The more people like him, the more paranoid they tend to be, and the trick of killing his father with his own hands may not be impossible to do. ”

If Li Qing and Lin Qiuqiu's inference is correct, Lin Sheng really did not die a natural death, and when Lin Shiyuan returns to the Lin family and finds all this, he will definitely not stop. In order to protect themselves, Lin Shiqing's father and son will definitely make arrangements as early as possible and strike first. And as long as Lin Qiuqiu is still in the Lin family, he will be taken as an important hostage at a critical moment and used to blackmail Lin Shiyuan.

In this way, Li Qing's abnormal emotions that were very different from the usual ones that Li Qing had seen before could be completely explained.

Li Qing glanced out the window lightly: "When will your father come back?"

"I don't know, tomorrow morning at the latest. ”

"My father died, and I didn't go home until three days later, this Lin Shiyuan is really very human..."Li Qing said casually, finding that Lin Qiuqiu's face was very ugly, and hurriedly stopped his mouth, "We are just guessing, there is no substantive evidence at all." Now it's about to dawn, and it's not easy to move. I'll take advantage of the darkness to go to the mourning hall tonight to see what the hell these people in the Lin family are doing. ”

Lin Qiuqiu's appearance was a little hesitant: "If their purpose is really... What to do?"

"You shouldn't ask me about this kind of thing. Li Qing smiled and stretched out his hand, caressing Lin Qiuqiu's fair and pretty cheeks, "What are you going to do if our guess is confirmed?"

Lin Qiuqiu fell silent and did not answer. Li Qing didn't force it, and got up directly and walked out of the door: "I'll prepare breakfast, you can sleep for a while, I'll call you when it's ready." ”

Li Qing went down the stairs and stood in front of the window on the first floor and looked out. Outside, it has gradually brightened, and the small pond is misty with lotus leaves.

Opening the door, Li Qing took a deep breath of the early morning air and swept his gaze in the grove outside the villa.

He stood where he was for a moment, then walked towards the grove step by step. More than thirty meters away from the periphery of the grove, there was a sudden sound of rubbing branches and leaves.

"Still want to run?" A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, Li Qing snorted lightly, and chased forward.

The emerald green branches and leaves flew in front of him, and Li Qing's body was stunned, and he had already circled in front of the absconder, blocking his way.

"Why are you like a dog's skin plaster? It's not enough for me to kill one, and now I'm running out to die. Li Qing moved his steps helplessly, and the man in front of him retreated again and again with a frightened face.

Li Qing stretched out his hand and gestured: "Step back, step back again..."

"Yes, this is it, stop, stop. Li Qing gestured, and then asked with a smile, "Do you know why I want you to stand here?"

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Li Qing said to himself: "Because the one before you died in this position at your feet." ”

The face of the man on the opposite side changed suddenly, his forehead instantly turned blue, and he took out a dagger from his waist and rushed towards Li Qing with a shout.

took half a step back, and when the man rushed over, Li Qing suddenly pinched his wrist and pulled it out, and snatched the dagger in his hand quite easily.

With a flick of his wrist, the man had already been thrown to the ground by Li Qing, panting for breath.

"I'm in a good mood today and don't want to kill. Li Qing turned the dagger between his fingers and said lightly, "As long as you tell the person in charge behind it, I will let you go." I hope you're smarter and don't wear down my patience. ”

After saying that, Li Qing squinted his eyes and looked at the man opposite, but the latter opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.

"Are you dumb?" asked Li Qing impatiently.

"Ahh Ahh

His pupils shrank suddenly, and Li Qing took a step back, his face stunned: "Is it really a dumb person?"

"Then there's no need to keep you. As the words fell, Li Qing's figure passed lightly from the man's side, and a blood splash fell to the ground...
