Li Qing was afraid that Lin Qiuqiu would keep asking questions about the wound on his cheek, so he quickly changed the topic and took out the mahogany box from his pocket: "I'll show you something." ”

Lin Qiuqiu was really attracted by this small box in an instant: "What is this?"

"A gift from Huo Yi. Li Qing held the small box in his hand and handed it to Lin Qiuqiu.

"Huo Yi, he's back?"

Li Qing shook his head lightly: "No, he entrusted a friend who came to Lingang to do business." ”

"Oh. Lin Qiuqiu nodded, a little disappointed in her beautiful eyes. She took the mahogany box in her hand and opened it gently: "Wow, it's so beautiful." ”

"Wear it at weddings. Li Qing grabbed Lin Qiuqiu's jade hand, "Huo Yi will definitely be very happy if he hears such news." ”

"Who promised to marry you? Lin Qiuqiu withdrew his jade hand and rolled his eyes widely, but he had already put the small platinum ring on his finger, and the corners of his lips outlined a happy smile upward.

Playing with the ring between his fingers, Lin Qiuqiu asked casually, "What else did Huo Yi say?"

Li Qing stared at Lin Qiuqiu's beautiful and delicate cheeks, and was silent for a while before nodding lightly: "He is doing well and has found his true peace." ”

"That's what he said?"

"Hmm. Li Qing nodded, "But he has to go to a far place, it seems to be an island overseas, communication is not very convenient, and he won't come back for a long time." He may not be able to attend our wedding, so he asked someone to loosen the congratulatory gift first. ”

"Oh, what a pity. Lin Qiuqiu's head was on the small side, she was too excited to notice Li Qing's slightly unnatural face at all.

At this time, there was a sound of talking outside, and it was Ning Manxuan and Fang Yong, who had come back from buying breakfast, and walked into the house.

"Manxuan is back. Li Qing, who was worried that Lin Qiuqiu was aware, was slightly relieved, and hurriedly stood up and went out...

Qi family.

Qi Yiping, the head of the Qi family, sat on a wicker chair and stared at the koi swimming slowly in the pond in the yard. Qi Kuan, the police chief of Gangbei City, sat honestly on the bench on his father's right-hand side, with budding flower clusters behind him.

The leaves are still stained with morning dew, and against the background of the rising sun, they show a dazzling bright luster. Within a radius of more than 20 meters centered on two people, there was no third person.

After being silent for a long time, Qi Yiping slowly spoke: "Is the news accurate?"

Qi Kuan leaned forward and was about to speak, but Qi Yiping coughed violently, so that he had to swallow back the words in his mouth, and said with a concerned face: "Dad, why don't you go back to the house, it's still a little cool in the morning." ”

"It's okay, the air in the yard is good, I'd rather stay a little longer. Qi Yiping waved his hand slightly, "You continued. ”

"Hmm. Qi Kuan nodded, "It's absolutely true, I rushed back as soon as I got the news." It's top secret now, and it will take another week or two for some news to come out. ”

"Yay. Qi Yiping nodded slightly, and a little relief appeared on his cheeks, "This kind of news is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for the Li family." What do you think about this? Did it happen on purpose?"

"It should be. Qi Kuan said in a low voice, "She and Li Qing are a little too close, which inevitably leads to imagination." Now that the Li family's momentum is getting bigger and bigger, it will be a trouble sooner or later if it goes on like this, so it is better to strangle it in the cradle as soon as possible. ”

"Hmm. Qi Yiping seemed to be quite satisfied with Qi Kuan's answer, "This is the best, Li Qing has such a backer, so there is no need to worry." ”

There was a slightly hurried footsteps in the distance, and after a while, a middle-aged man was already standing under the porch, he coughed lightly and then said loudly: "Family master, Li Shi is calling again." ”

Qi Yiping frowned a little impatiently: "What did he say?"

"It's just a cliché, nothing of value. ”

"Hmph. Qi Yiping snorted coldly, "With Li Qing coming back this time, his mind is also alive. He doesn't weigh his own catties, and he wants to fight with Li Qing with his kind of goods? ”

Qi Kuan leaned in the direction where his father was: "Dad, this incident is a favorable time. ”

"I understand what you mean, but Li Qing is not that simple. Qi Yiping sighed softly, "You are still too young, compared with Li Qing and Xie Yuyan, you are still a lot worse." Now the relationship between the three Lingang companies is very delicate, and it is undoubtedly very dangerous to break this check and balance. ”

Qi Kuan hurriedly said: "But this time, it is obviously aimed at Li Qing." Wouldn't it be a shame if we didn't seize this opportunity?"

"Let me think again. ”

"Dad, don't miss the opportunity. Li Qing and Xie Yuyan are so close, if we don't take measures, the Qi family will be annexed by them sooner or later. Qi Kuan said, "For the time being, the three Lingang are indeed indispensable, but don't ignore such a situation, just for the sake of checks and balances, two of them are enough, and the extra third one will often become the most unstable variable." Now the above intends to take the Li family, it is nothing more than because Li Qing has too many contacts with all parties, and his power is the most unfathomable, if we seize this opportunity, it is completely possible to completely change the pattern of Lingang. ”

"Okay, if you understand these truths, others will naturally think of them. Qi Yiping waved his hand and directly interrupted Qi Kuan's words, "I will discuss this matter with your brother before making a decision." ”

Qi Kuan wanted to say something more, but in the end, he wisely chose to be silent and stood up from his chair: "There is still something to do at the police station, I'll go first." ”

"Well, be careful on the road. Qi Yiping admonished rather casually, and then said no more.

Qi Kuan glanced at the middle-aged man standing under the porch, brushed past him, and left through the corridor.

walked out of the Qi family mansion all the way and got into the car, Qi Kuan picked up his mobile phone from the side and looked at it, there was a missed call from Ma Baoshan.

After pondering for a moment, Qi Kuan clicked the return button: "What's the matter?"

"Director, I have a case in my hand, which is more troublesome, so I want to ask you for advice. ”

Qi Kuan rolled down the window and frowned: "What case?"

"I don't have a clue about the head of the Li family until now. ”

"Li Qing?" Qi Kuan's face showed a hint of surprise, "Did he hurt someone? These are all small cases, just help him settle them privately." It's not that you don't know Li Qing's identity, so there's no need to touch this kind of mold. ”

Ma Baoshan said: "Director, you misunderstood. At around half past one o'clock this morning, the head of the Li family was attacked while driving outside the Tajima café. At that time, a man on the roof of the café broke off the guardrail on the roof and threw it out, smashing the front windshield. ”

Qi Kuan's heart was shocked: "Li Qing has been attacked, how is he now?"

"Uh... The head of the Li family was fine, but his cheek was scratched by broken glass. After taking the notes, I left the police station this morning. ”

"What about the attackers, have you caught them?"

"Nope. Ma Baoshan replied in a muffled voice, "Director, this case is too weird, and the modus operandi is completely unreasonable, I really can't figure it out before I call you early in the morning." ”

"Well, I'll go back to the police station now, and I'll talk about it when I get to work. Qi Kuan hung up the phone, started the car and drove onto the highway and drove to the Gangbei City Police Station.

In a simple attack case, the deputy director of the police station paid enough attention to it, and there was no need to bother Qi Kuan, the chief director. But if the person being attacked is extremely unusual, then there is every reason for special treatment.

And from a private point of view, Qi Kuan always had a hunch that this case might be an opportunity to deal with Li Qing.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Qi Kuan arrived at the Gangbei City Police Station on time and listened to Ma Baoshan's detailed report in the office.

Listening to the entire narrative, Qi Kuan flipped through the case materials on the table, and also fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he raised his head: "Are the people from the technical department back?"

"Footprints were collected at the scene, and the preliminary estimate should be that it should be a man between 1.75 meters and 1.85 meters tall. Ma Baoshan bowed slightly and replied, "Traces of breakage can also be seen on the guardrail, and the appraisal report of the technical department shows that from the perspective of force, it should be done manually, and no auxiliary equipment is used." However, if this steel pipe was really broken by one person, then his grip strength was unimaginable. ”

"It's unthinkable to be able to throw this thing hundreds of meters. Qi Kuan stared at the photos of the accident scene and said in a deep voice, "Let's start with the customs entry records and verify the identity of each entry person, I suspect that an overseas master came to Lingang." You can contact Interpol and do a comparison of the data, and you may find out. ”

"Yes. Ma Baoshan nodded in response, hesitated for a while, and said cautiously: "Director, but no matter which direction you look at, this attack doesn't look like something that a normal person can do." ”

"Li Qing is not a normal person, is he?" Qi Kuan raised his head slightly, a smile on the corner of his mouth, "There are many incredible things, there is no need to make a fuss." You just have to treat it as a normal assault and keep me informed. ”

"I see. Ma Baoshan felt that Qi Kuan's tone of voice was a little strange, but in the face of his top boss, he was not easy to say clearly, so he could only respond vaguely and turn around and go out to do things.

The door of the office was closed again, and Qi Kuan's fingers tapped lightly on the folder, and after a while, a sneer slowly appeared on his cheeks: "Where did this master come from, planning to ask for your life?"
