The car drove away from the red corner area, and Li Qing habitually picked up his mobile phone and glanced at the screen. More than 20 missed calls were all from Ning Manxuan.

Li Qing hurriedly parked the car on the side of the road and pressed the call back button.

"Why don't you answer the phone!" Ning Manxuan's angry voice came from the microphone, causing Li Qing's already tired nerves to tense again.

"I just..."

"Don't talk nonsense, come to the hospital right away!

"Okay, good!" Li Qing responded, hung up the phone, started the car, and went straight to the Gangbei Central Hospital.

Li Qing drove the car fast, and finally arrived at the hospital half an hour later, rushed upstairs in a panic, and rushed to the delivery room.

Fang Yong and Long Wu were all sitting on the benches outside the operating room with anxious expressions, while Ning Manxuan was pacing back and forth in the silent corridor.

As soon as she saw Li Qing, Ning Manxuan stepped forward quickly, stretched out a green jade finger and poked his forehead fiercely: "Bastard! Where have you been merry again!"

Li Qing didn't care much, and directly grabbed Ning Manxuan's soft jade hand, his face was anxious: "How is Qiuqiu now?"

Ning Manxuan's delicate body stiffened slightly, withdrew her jade hand without a trace, and pursed her small mouth: "It's been in for half an hour, just wait." ”

"Is she alright?"

"Nothing. Ning Manxuan said softly, and suddenly glared at Li Qing fiercely, "The child is about to be born, but the husband is not here, how can it be good? Even the operation sheet was signed by me, you really have the face to ask such a thing!"

Li Qing faced Ning Manxuan's accusation, and a sense of guilt swelled in her heart. I owe Lin Qiuqiu too much over the years, and he is really not a qualified husband.

Sitting down on the bench, Li Qing lowered his head and stared at the beating second hand on his watch, silent.

Fang Yong gently patted Li Qing's shoulder on the side, hesitated, and still didn't say anything.

As the minutes ticked by, everyone outside the operating room was restless.

Until the door of the delivery room opened, the nurse came out of it: "It's born, it's a boy." ”

Li Qingteng suddenly stood up from the chair: "How is the adult?"

The nurse looked at Li Qing and smiled: "The head of the Li family can rest assured, the production is going smoothly, and the mother and child are safe." ”

Li Qing's body shook, only to feel that the dizziness was getting stronger and stronger, as if the surroundings had become unreal.

"I'm a father... It's become a father..."Li Qing sat down slowly, his body couldn't stop trembling slightly.

The nurse said again: "Get ready, the mother and son will come out in a while." ”

"Thank you. Ning Manxuan thanked her, covered her chest with her jade hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Long Wu trembled with excitement, and couldn't sit still at the moment, so he stood up and jumped all over the ground. Fang Yong called the Li family's bodyguards who were waiting downstairs to come up to maintain order. Although Lin Qiuqiu's childbirth has always been classified as confidential, and the media of all parties in Lingang have also opened up relations, it is still necessary to be just in case.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Qiuqiu came out of the delivery room and was sent back to the ward with the baby to recuperate. Li Qing held her white and soft jade hand the whole time, looked at her weak and pale cheeks, and looked at each other speechlessly, but it was like a thousand words...

On a street behind the Gangbei Central Hospital, a car is parked alone.

The mobile phone rang suddenly, and Xie Hongbo, who was sitting in the driver's seat, picked up the mobile phone from his side and pressed the answer button: "I'm Xie Hongbo." ”

"Uh-huh, yes, got it. ”

Xie Hongbo hung up the phone and turned around in the driver's seat: "Director, Lin Qiuqiu gave birth to a boy, and the mother and son are safe." ”

"Hmm. Zhong Ruoxi nodded, put her arms in front of the car window, supported the side of her head with her jade hand, and didn't say anything.

After being silent for a long time, Xie Hongbo said cautiously: "Director, do you want to go up and have a look?"

"It's not a time to visit, it's just a matter of trouble. Zhong Ruoxi said lightly, "Forget it." ”

Xie Hongbo closed his mouth and didn't dare to say anything, just sat quietly in the car with Zhong Ruoxi, staring at the beating of the timetable minute by minute.

Zhong Ruoxi, on the other hand, seemed to have fallen into some kind of deep thought, she looked at the dim street lamps outside the car window, completely ignoring the passage of time.

This almost strange silence lasted for more than three hours, and Xie Hongbo saw that the time was already past two o'clock in the morning, and reminded in a loud voice: "Director, it's already two o'clock, and you still have to catch the plane at four o'clock in the morning, or... Let's go back first. ”

Zhong Ruoxi didn't respond, and Xie Hongbo was silent for a while, then turned his head and called softly, "Hall Director." ”

"Ahh Zhong Ruoxi came back to her senses, frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's late. Xie Hongbo said in a low voice, "Do you need me to notify the airport so that they can delay their departure?"

"It's too much trouble to have to. Zhong Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief, "Give Li Qing a call and meet up." ”

"Yes. Xie Hongbo picked up his mobile phone and dialed Li Qing's number.

At this time, Li Qing was sitting in front of Lin Qiuqiu's bed with the newborn baby in his arms. Ning Manxuan, Long Wu and Fang Yong all went to rest, and there was only this family of three left in the room, and the atmosphere was harmonious and beautiful.

Li Qing and Lin Qiuqiu just discussed the issue of naming the baby for a while, and Li Qing's proposal was directly rejected by Lin Qiuqiu several times, for no other reason, it was too vulgar.

"Son, I will live in the next life, and you won't be able to use your brain, you will die stupidly. Lin Qiuqiu pouted and complained, although she was weak, she was still as sharp as ever when she spoke, which made Li Qing can't help but sweat coldly.

"Let me think again... Think about it again..."Li Qing stared at the little baby in his arms, and his eyes showed unprecedented tenderness.

Many people say that the newborn baby is wrinkled, but it is not good-looking at all, but at this moment, the little guy in Li Qing's arms is abnormal, his skin is fair and clear, like clotted fat, and there is a faint flush, his eyes are closed, and he is sleeping sweetly in Li Qing's arms.

"It's so cute. Li Qing couldn't help but admire.

Lin Qiuqiu pursed his lips: "It's weird and scary to look at, such a big guy actually fell out of my stomach, it's a nightmare." ”

"It hurts, doesn't it?"

"Heartbreaking. Lin Qiuqiu blinked her beautiful eyes, "You men are really lucky, in my opinion, this kind of thing should be changed, this time I will give birth, next time you will give birth..."

"There is a weak heart. Li Qing smiled and touched Lin Qiuqiu's smooth forehead, "Do a good job of protective measures in the future, we won't give birth, I also feel distressed to see you working so hard." ”

"You have a conscience. ”

The two were whispering when their mobile phone rang suddenly. Li Qing was startled, for fear of waking up the sleeping baby, so he hurriedly pressed the sound.

"It's Xie Hongbo. Li Qing's face changed slightly, "It's so late, what is he calling?"

Lin Qiuqiu said softly: "Go outside and pick it up, give me the baby." ”

"Hmm. Li Qing nodded and placed the child wrapped in a thin blanket beside Lin Qiuqiu, "This didn't wake him up, this little thing is really heartless." ”

"It's in the same vein. Lin Qiuqiu looked at Li Qing and rolled her eyes.

Li Qing smiled, turned around and walked out of the room, and at the same time pressed the answer button: "Superintendent Xie, what are you doing?"

"Li Qing, Hall Chief Zhong is downstairs, on the street behind the hospital. ”

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and then his voice slowly sank: "The rumors are true?"

"Looks like you've heard the wind. Xie Hongbo did not answer Li Qing directly, "Come down, Director Zhong is going to catch the plane back to Yanjing at four o'clock in the morning, and there is not much time." ”

"Okay, I'll go down right away. Li Qing said and hung up the phone.

Taking a deep breath, Li Qing turned around and went back to the room, Lin Qiuqiu was quietly staring at the little baby beside him, his eyes were bright and shining.

"I'm going to go out for a while. Li Qing said, "Zhong Ruoxi is downstairs." ”

"Oh. Lin Qiuqiu replied nonchalantly, but the hand holding the thin blanket stiffened slightly without warning.

Li Qing pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I got a message from Ma Baoshan today that the Lingang Inspectorate is going to be replaced. ”

Lin Qiuqiu's pale cheeks flashed with a touch of consternation, and then he quickly turned his head and stared at Li Qing tightly: "Is the news accurate?"

Li Qing raised his mobile phone: "I didn't believe it before, but with tonight's phone call, there is no doubt about it." ”

"This is tantamount to a tsunami, and in the near future, Lingang is bound to be in turmoil. Lin Qiuqiuyu's hand tightened inexplicably, "Do you know the reason?"

"I don't know, but I guess. Li Qing replied in a low voice, "The reason is very likely that I am too close to the Inspectorate." ”

"Go ahead, don't worry about my side. I'm tired and want to rest. Lin Qiuqiu slowly closed her beautiful eyes and waved her hand gently, "Send her well." ”

Li Qing nodded: "I know, you have a good rest, and I'll talk about it when I come back." ”

With that, Li Qing turned around and walked out of the room again. There was silence all around, Lin Qiuqiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she opened her eyes gently, with a trace of indescribable anxiety in her eyes: "There's trouble..."

Whether it is Lin Qiuqiu or Li Qing, they are quite clear in their hearts. The power of the director of the Inspectorate is second only to the chief executive in the entire Lingang Special Administrative Region, and in the true sense of the word, he is under one person and above ten thousand. Zhong Ruoxi has served as the director of the Lingang Supervision Department for eight years, and he has been conscientious and has made outstanding contributions.

But now that things are so real, it can only be Zhong Ruoxi's personal problem. If you say it more thoroughly, it is the relationship between Zhong Ruoxi and Li Qing, which has made her unsuitable for the position of director of the Supervision Department.

From Lingang to Longxi, Li Qing and Zhong Ruoxi have cultivated a deep friendship, if it is love, it may not be accurate, but there is definitely mutual admiration. This kind of pure feelings, once placed in the chain of interests, are enough to arouse the vigilance of the Quartet, and it is impossible to be pure again.
