The car had already been prepared outside the villa, and Li Qing followed Lin Qiuqiu, who was speechless, and got into the car. He glanced out the car window, saw Xie Hongbo turn out of the shadows behind the street lamp, whispered a few words to the driver who was about to drive, and then walked straight to the car.

Extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, Xie Hongbo opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. He started the car, then turned his head and smiled, "Both, I'll send you back, okay?"

The atmosphere in the carriage was extremely delicate, and after a moment of silence, Li Qing nodded: "It's troublesome." ”

Xie Hongbo drove the car onto the highway, gradually drove away from the villa area, and headed towards the Li family mansion on Sanli Road.

"I didn't have anything to do today. Xie Hongbo said while driving, "But after all, I was entrusted by Major General Zhong Ruoxi, and there are still some things to do." Master Li, do you know that the beauty is gracious. ”

Li Qing's heart was upset, and from time to time he glanced at Lin Qiuqiu, who had a cold face beside him. When he heard Xie Hongbo's words, he had to forcibly turn his thoughts back, and grinned: "So, Superintendent Xie already knows what happened to Zhou Wenhao's dinner today?"

"A little bit of it. Xie Hongbo nodded slightly, "This is the difference between insiders and outsiders, even if you don't say some things, you are very clear." ”

Li Qing asked in a low voice, "Does Superintendent Xie have any advice?"

"Pointing doesn't count. Xie Hongbo shook his head with a smile, "It's just that there is a sentence to warn the head of the Li family, under the nest, there will be no eggs." ”

Li Qing sighed and leaned back on the chair: "Don't sell it, I'll just say it." Zhou Wenhao wants to bring down the Qi family, and he needs my help. ”

"The Qi family's military and political involvement is too deep, which is naturally a big trouble for Zhou Wenhao. But for him, such an idea is just thinking about it, and it is tantamount to a fantasy to really implement it. ”

Li Qing frowned: "What do you mean by this?"

Xie Hongbo looked at the two people in the back row through the endoscope, then hit the steering wheel and parked the car on the side of the road: "Miss Lin, do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?"

"Feel free. Lin Qiuqiu replied lightly.

"Thank you. Xie Hongbo took out a cigarette and lit it, took a hard puff, and raised his hand to open the car window, "Zhou Wenhao is too ambitious, he has been in Lingang for less than half a month, and he is not familiar with the place. Hall Director Zhong's identity is shocking enough, she has ruled Lingang for eight years, one person is above 10,000 people, and she still doesn't dare to touch the foundation of the Qi family, why is he Zhou Wenhao?"

Li Qing said in a low voice: "Ruoxi seeks stability, Zhou Wenhao seeks change, the strategies are different, and they can't be compared." ”

"You are wrong, if Hall Director Zhong seeks stability, he will not let you destroy the Chen family. Xie Hongbo glanced at Li Qing deeply, "You are in the middle of it, you still don't know how deep the water in Lingang is, let alone an outsider? With the naïve nature of a hot-blooded young man like Zhou Wenhao, sooner or later he will cause big trouble." ”

Li Qing asked, "In your opinion, should I promise Zhou Wenhao?"

"Promise him, are you in the water in your head?" Xie Hongbo sneered, "What does Zhou Wenhao have now? The Bureau of Justice is far away in Yanjing, and the so-called whip is beyond the reach of the whip, and he is not in the same system as Lingang at all, can he get half of the help? Lingang has been good at forming gangs and factions since ancient times, and the family gate valve system formed has a far-reaching influence. Don't look at Director Zhong is gone, at least in the next few years, the Lingang Inspectorate will still be surnamed Zhong, and it has nothing to do with his half-cent surname Zhou. ”

Xie Hongbo stretched out a finger and poked his chest, and sneered: "Zhou Wenhao can only make a small fuss at best, even if he wants to transfer people from the Inspectorate on a large scale, it is not an easy thing. In this case, he also planned to deal with the Qi family, and could only borrow from the Li family or the Xie family. ”

Although Li Qing had expected it, he still didn't expect Zhou Wenhao's power to be so thin, and he was extremely surprised at the moment. Fortunately, he had no intention of cooperating with the Inspectorate from the beginning, otherwise he would have become Zhou Wenhao's cannon fodder.

"I guess Zhou Wenhao should have been suffocated in the Yanjing Judicial Bureau for too long, and it is rare to be released to be a feudal official. If he continues to toss like this, he will play himself to death sooner or later. Master Li, you should have learned a lot about the truth of self-preservation, and you don't need others to remind you anymore. ”

"I see. Li Qing responded, "But since you are stepping on the shore, it is difficult not to get your shoes wet." ”

"That's the case, all kinds of scales, you can measure them yourself. What's more, you still have Miss Lin by your side, she thinks about things more carefully and carefully than you. ”

Xie Hongbo rubbed his wrists, pushed the car door and got out of the car. He held the car door with one hand and poked his head into the carriage: "My house is different from the Li Family Mansion, so I took a taxi home, you two can do it yourself." ”

"Wait. Li Qing shouted, "What does Zhou Wenhao plan to do with Nick?"

Xie Hongbo chuckled: "I have already said it before, Zhou Wenhao is very short of manpower now, and he wants to build his own team." Nick is a stranger, no matter where he puts it, he is a priceless rare animal, how could Zhou Wenhao let him go?"

Li Qing's face sank slightly: "How can I kill him?"

"Rest assured, you'll have such an opportunity, but definitely not now. Xie Hongbo stretched out a finger and shook it in front of him, "Li Qing, Zhou Wenhao is about to turn into a mad dog biting everywhere, you be careful, appropriate refusal is to protect you, but don't annoy him." We can all see the crisis in Lingang, Zhou Wenhao dared to be the first reformer, which is very good, after all, the construction of a great foundation in ancient and modern times requires bloodshed and sacrifice. ”

After saying this, Xie Hongbo grinned, turned around and walked to the billboard on the side of the road and beckoned a taxi to sit in.

Staring at the taillights of the taxi in the distance, Li Qing sighed softly: "Xie Hongbo is a really smart person." ”

This night's conversation can be said to have benefited Li Qing a lot, and it also made him gradually clarify the current situation in Lingang.

Zhong Ruoxi served as the director of the Lingang Supervision Department for eight years, winning people's hearts and social stability. Although she took "maintaining stability" as her ultimate goal, she assisted Li Qing in destroying the Chen family and eradicating the dark forces in Lingang. From a certain point of view, the collapse of the Chen family is a progress in Lingang society, but it is far from enough, because in the current situation, there is a greater crisis lurking.

The Xie Qi and Li families tightened the economic lifeline of Lingang, so that other families had to grovel under them. On top of that, the emerging economic interests have been suppressed to the point where they simply cannot raise their heads. The family gate valve system is a cancer of ancient feudal relics, which makes the entire Lingang be divided by the family, and completely hinders the current economic development of Lingang. The Xie Qi and Li families established themselves as kings based on this ancient family system, plundered priority resources on a large scale, and fought against the Hong Kong District Government.

Among these three, the Qi family is a combination of politics and business, and after destroying the Chen family, they became more and more unscrupulous, which naturally became a big trouble for high-ranking figures.

Zhou Wenhao is full of enthusiasm and takes it as his responsibility to clean up the chaos in Hong Kong. But he faced the three major families that had been entrenched in Lingang for a hundred years, except for a sword of the Son of Heaven, but there was no rival power in his hands. Coupled with his eagerness, the day of despair can be predicted.

Li Qing didn't want to help Zhou Wenhao, he had a very poor relationship with the Qi family, and if there was an opportunity to beat the water dog, he naturally didn't want to miss it. But according to Zhou Wenhao's current meaning, he is obviously preparing to let Li Qing charge into battle and destroy the Qi family for him. In this way, even if the Li family wins, it will definitely suffer heavy losses, and it will be pointed out by thousands of people, and it will be thankless. Li Qing is not a fool, he will not interfere in this kind of thing that is not half beneficial to himself.

In addition, on the one hand, Zhou Wenhao wanted the Li family to help, and on the other hand, he shielded Nick against him, and he used Qian Liming Kuangda Logistics to blackmail, which also caused Li Qing's extreme disgust. Although this is a person who is full of ambition, he is also a capricious person, and if he cooperates with this kind of person, the future of the Li family is worrying.

Li Qing and Xie Hongbo's views are basically the same, if the pattern of Lingang wants to be reshaped, there must first be bloodshed and sacrificed. And Zhou Wenhao is the most suitable candidate in terms of identity, status, background and means of acting.

After being silent for a while, Li Qing said softly: "It's late, I'll drive, let's go home first." The situation is complicated now, and we need to discuss it. ”

Before Li Qing finished speaking, Lin Qiuqiu had already kicked the car door and got out of the car.

She stood on the side of the road, her jade hand supporting the guardrail on the embankment, her hair flying against the sea breeze, and her slender figure was a little desolate and lonely, which caused distress.

Li Qing was slightly stunned, and a complicated meaning surged in his eyes. As early as in Zhou Wenhao's official residence, when talking about Xie Yuyan, Li Qing noticed Lin Qiuqiu's emotional changes.

This woman is far less tolerant than Li Qing imagined in terms of facing her private feelings. If she doesn't make noise, or even doesn't want to say anything to Li Qing, it can only show that her emotions at the moment have nothing to do with anger, but are completely sad.

Li Qing was full of guilt, he knew very well that he had broken Lin Qiuqiu's heart, and he had also cruelly carved a scar on her clear and warm heart.

Taking a deep breath, Li Qing got out of the car. He stood three or four meters away, and his voice was difficult: "Qiuqiu, you... Angry?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Li Qing couldn't wait to slap himself, it was just nonsense.

Li Qing stepped forward step by step, stretched out his hand from behind to wrap around Lin Qiuqiu's slender and soft waist, and said softly: "Go back, the sea is windy, and it is not good for your health." ”

Lin Qiuqiu struggled hard, turned around suddenly, and slapped Li Qing directly. The sound is loud and crisp, sweeping in the sea breeze and disappearing into the night sky.
