"Is there anything new today?" Li Shi played with the car keys in his hand and paced slowly on the path.

"The head of the family sent his wife to the hospital today to give birth. A subordinate followed Li Shi in small steps, and said in a low voice.

"I'm going to give birth so soon..."Li Shi narrowed his eyes slightly, his face was a little weird, "What else?"

"And... Oh, by the way, an old man came today, and he talked with the head of the house in the study for a long time. In order to see him, the head of the family even postponed the matter of Gangbei Bay. ”

Li Zhi paused: "Old man, how old is he, what are you doing?"

The man stumbled: "I don't know, but I look like I'm sixty or seventy years old, and I dress like a hillbilly." The head of the house left him behind, and now he lives in the guest room on the east side. ”

"This is fresh..."Li Zhi stood in place and thought for a moment, then pulled his tie, "Let's go, take me to see." ”

"Great butler, this... It's not good, if the head of the house finds out, he will be angry. ”

"Do you still know that I'm a housekeeper?" Li Shi turned his head and raised his eyebrows, "There is a distinguished guest at home, and it is rude for me not to see it." Where have you been? It's not far from the east room, and you can't walk around in the past?"

The subordinates didn't dare to say anything more, so Li Shi threw the car keys to the bodyguard on the side, and then strode towards the guest room.

After a while, he came to the door, and Li Zhi squeezed out a smile on the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a moment, the door opened slightly, revealing a wrinkled cheek from the door: "You are..."

"Hello, old sir. Li Zhi said with a smile, "I am the chief housekeeper of the Li family, and I am also the cousin of the head of the family, Li Qing." I heard that you are coming to your door, so I came to pay a visit. ”

"Oh, I don't have to visit, I want to go to bed early. ”

Li Zhi's body stagnated, but he still maintained a gentle smile: "Old man, I don't know if you can let me enter the house to talk? It won't take much time to say a few words and leave, and it won't delay your rest." ”

"Since this is your Li family, please do it. The old man's voice was hoarse, and he gave way to the door.

"Wait outside. Li Zhi turned around and commanded, and then walked into the room with a smile on his face.

When the two young people who were squatting in the dark to monitor this room saw this scene, they immediately turned pale with fright and glanced at each other, and one of them sneaked out and ran to report the news to Fang Yong.

When Fang Yong got the news, he didn't hesitate at all, and directly called Li Qing to inform him.

When he received Fang Yong's call, Li Qing had just left the study and was about to take a shower first, and then send Zhao Qili to Xie's house.

"Got it, I'll go over here. Li Qing hung up the phone with a gloomy face, temporarily changed his plan, and walked directly to the east room.

In order to be faster, Li Qing chose to drive.

A few minutes later, the car arrived outside the east room, and Li Qing turned off the engine and got out of the car. As soon as the bodyguard guarding the door saw Li Qing, his face turned green with fright, and he deliberately raised his voice: "Family master!"

"Hmm. Li Qing nodded, "Is Li Zhi inside?"

"Uh... At. ”

"Yay. Li Qing pushed the door directly and walked in, Li Zhizheng stood up from the sofa with a panicked expression, and said with a dry smile: "Cousin, why are you here." ”

Li Qing stared at the old man sitting opposite Li Shi with a calm face, and then shifted his gaze to Li Shi: "I heard that you are very interested in my affairs?"

"You're mistaken. Li Shi regained his composure, "After all, I am the big housekeeper of the Li family, of course I have to entertain you if there are guests, I just chatted with Mr. Zhao for a while..."

Li Qingyi waved his hand to interrupt Li Shi's words: "You go out." ”

"Huh?" Li Zhi was slightly stunned.

"Get out!" Li Qing drank in a deep voice, which frightened Li Zhi, and hurriedly put down the cup in his hand and staggered out.

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth: "I didn't expect you to be quite tolerant, so let him go?"

Li Qing stood there, staring coldly at the old man opposite: "What did you say to him?"

"What if I say something I shouldn't have said. ”

"Then you won't have such comfortable preferential treatment again. Li Qing turned around and glanced out the door, "I also have to re-examine whether I need to keep him." ”

His face stiffened slightly, and after a moment of silence, the old man said softly, "I didn't say anything." ”

"Good. Li Qing nodded, "We're leaving." ”

"Where to go?"

"I'll send you to Xie's house. Li Qing replied lightly, "The head of the Xie family should be ready, you should stay there more securely." ”

The old man's expression changed slightly: "Li Qing, do you really think so?"

"Yes, you can rest assured that I won't let her mess around. ”

After a moment of silence, the old man leaned over and pulled out his snakeskin bag from under the tea table. Li Qing thought that he was going to take something and leave with him, so he turned around and walked out the door, but suddenly heard the other party shouting: "Wait!"

"What's the matter?" Li Qing turned around again, and his tone was no longer as kind as before.

"I have one more thing for you. The old man laughed dryly, and there was a hint of helplessness in his words, "It was originally entrusted by someone, but now it has become a life amulet, which is really funny." ”

Li Qing's eyebrows raised slightly, and he stood quietly in place without speaking, but his eyes revealed a thick doubt.

The old man dug into the snakeskin pocket, and finally pulled out a palm-sized mahogany box and handed it to Li Qing: "This is yours." ”

Li Qing walked back, leaned over to take the box from the old man's hand, and hesitated slightly before slowly opening it.

Two white gold rings sit quietly in the box, and the huge diamonds dazzle in the light.

"This is..."Li Qing's eyes widened in amazement, staring at the old man in front of him without blinking, "What does this mean?"

"I didn't send it. The old man lowered his eyes, "My senior brother, Huo Yi." I wish you and Miss Lin to grow old together and tie the same heart forever. ”

Li Qing's palm holding the box trembled slightly, and then the whole person froze there.

The old man sighed softly: "Senior brother grew up with me since he was a child, but he is not talented, and he is not enterprising, so his kung fu has not made great progress. With his temperament... I really didn't expect that he would have a woman he liked in his life. ”

"At the beginning of that operation, I found my brother. He has opened a lot of tombs in Guannan in the past two years, and he should have known that he would die for a lifetime, so he entrusted it to me in advance, if he died, this gift must be delivered before you and Miss Lin get married. In fact, I should have given it to you a long time ago, but I was selfish, thinking that I could delay it for a while, and maybe I would rely on this friendship to save my life. Now it seems that it really can't be kept. ”

Li Qing only felt that the things in his hands weighed like a thousand catties, and his body trembled slightly: "Huo Yi... How did you die?"

"My brother wanted to rescue me at the time, but he ran into the old gun that turned back to seek revenge. A hand-grenade smashed down the stone tunnel, and both of them were buried underneath. ”

After being silent for a long time, Li Qing buckled the mahogany box and said in a low voice: "I believe it now, you are Zhao Qili." Don't worry, even if I can't help you, I won't let anyone hurt you. ”

"So much for the best. ”

Li Qing took a deep breath, turned around and walked out: "I'll wait for you in the car outside." ”

Two hours later, the Xie family mansion.

"Go down, all of you, and keep the door shut. Xie Yuyan waved his hand and drove the subordinate out of the house, then stretched out a green jade finger and clicked on the chair opposite, "Sit down." ”

Li Qing nodded at Zhao Qili, and then sat down in the chair. Seeing that Xie Yuyan was still wrapped in a thin blanket in the middle of summer, he couldn't help asking, "Isn't your cold disease getting better?"

"That's not what you should be concerned about. Xie Yuyan's voice was full of reproach, "I asked you to come back late at night, but you agreed." It's just past ten o'clock, Li Qing, can you be more serious?"

"I'm so confused, I can't wait. Li Qing said in a sullen voice, "And I always feel that you should have some news to tell me here." ”

"There's some news. Xie Yuyan bowed his head slightly, but his eyes were focused on Zhao Qili opposite, "But I have to make sure first that what he said is true." ”

Li Qing said: "I can be sure that he is Zhao Qili." In the previous conversation, he mentioned some personal matters..."

"I'm sorry, it's not just you, I don't trust anyone. Xie Yuyan shook his head at Li Qing, "Actually, it's very simple to confirm this matter, since your body has symptoms of premature aging, then we just need to wait for a day or two to see if it will continue to deteriorate, and we will know." ”

Zhao Qili said: "It's really not difficult, but I hope that what the head of the Xie family will do is not just to prove the truth." For me, every day is incredibly precious. ”

"It's nature. Xie Yuyan's beautiful eyes blinked lightly, and he glanced at the wall clock on the wall, "I have contacted the best doctor, and I will arrive with medical equipment in two hours." He will conduct a thorough physical examination of you and determine your symptoms. If necessary, I will arrange for you to go to a safer place, but this will depend on the situation and your wishes. ”

Li Qing said: "Yuyan, if he has this symptom because... If that is the reason, modern medicine will not be able to apply? ”

"What kind of factor do you mean?" Xie Yuyan glanced at Li Qing lightly, and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes, "You are also beginning to believe in the theory of ghosts and gods now?"

"I don't, I just think the current science..."

"Are you doing too much bad work? and afraid of being damned?"

"I just think there's something that the current science can't explain. Li Qing said helplessly.

Xie Yuyan pursed his lips: "You think science can't explain it because you know too little." ”
