The car drove away from Hongjiao district. Li Qing habitually picked up his mobile phone and took a look at the screen. More than 20 missed calls, all from Ning manxuan.
Li Qing quickly pulled the car to the side of the road and pressed the callback key.
"Why don't you answer the phone!" Ning manxuan's angry voice came from the microphone, making Li Qing's tired nerves tense again.
"I just..."
"Don't talk nonsense. Come to the hospital right away! Qiuqiu is going to have a baby!"
"Good, good!" Li Qing answered repeatedly, hung up the phone and started the car to go straight to the Central Hospital in North Hong Kong.
Li Qing drove the car very fast. After half an hour, he finally arrived at the hospital, rushed upstairs in a panic and ran to the delivery room.
Fang Yong and Long Wu sat anxiously on the bench outside the operating room, while Ning manxuan paced back and forth in the quiet corridor.
Upon seeing Li Qing, Ning manxuan hurried forward, stretched out a green jade finger and stabbed him on the forehead: "asshole! Where are you going again?"
Li Qing didn't care much. She directly grabbed Ning manxuan's soft jade hand and looked worried: "how's Qiuqiu now?"
Ning manxuan's delicate body was slightly stiff. Without trace, she took back her jade hand and pursed her small mouth: "it's been in for half an hour. Wait."
"Is she all right?"
"Nothing." Ning manxuan said softly, and suddenly glared at Li Qing. "The child is about to be born, but the husband is not here. How can it be good? Even I signed the operation list. You really have the face to ask such a question!"
In the face of Ning manxuan's accusation, Li Qing felt guilty. I owe Lin Qiuqiu too much these years. He is really not a qualified husband.
Sitting down on the bench, Li Qing lowered her head and stared at the second hand beating on her watch.
Fang Yong patted Li Qing on the shoulder and hesitated. He still didn't say anything.
As time went by, everyone outside the operating room was restless.
Until the door of the delivery room opened, the nurse came out: "yes, it's a boy."
Li Qingteng suddenly stood up from his chair: "how's your adult?"
The nurse looked at Li Qing and smiled: "the Li family master is at ease. The production is very smooth and the mother and son are safe."
Li Qing shook his body. He just felt that the dizziness became stronger and stronger, as if all around him became unreal.
"I'm a father... A father..." Li Qing sat down slowly, his body trembling slightly.
The nurse said again, "get ready. The mother and son will come out in a minute."
"Thank you." Ning manxuan said thank you, covered her chest with her jade hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
Dragon five trembled excitedly. He couldn't sit still now. He stood up and jumped up all over the ground. Fang Yong called Li's bodyguards waiting downstairs to maintain order. Although Lin Qiuqiu's birth has always been classified as confidential, and the media in Hong Kong have opened up relations, we should take precautions.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Qiuqiu went out of the delivery room and was sent back to the ward with the baby. Li Qing took her white and soft jade hand all the way, looked at her weak and pale cheek, looked at each other without words, but it was better than a thousand words
On a street behind the Central Hospital in Gangbei, a car stopped there alone.
The cell phone ring suddenly rang. Xie Hongbo, sitting in the driver's seat, picked up his cell phone from his side and pressed the answer button: "I'm Xie Hongbo."
"Well, well, I see."
Xie Hongbo hung up the phone and turned around in the driver's seat: "director, Lin Qiuqiu gave birth to a boy. Mother and son are safe."
"Well." Zhong Ruoxi nodded his head, put his arm in front of the window, supported his brain with his jade hand, and said nothing more.
After a long silence, Xie Hongbo said cautiously, "director, do you want to go up and have a look?"
"It's not the time to visit, it will only cause trouble." Zhong Ruoxi said faintly, "forget it."
Xie Hongbo shut up and didn't dare to say anything. He just sat quietly in the car with Zhong Ruoxi and stared at the beat of the schedule minute by minute.
But Zhong Ruoxi seemed to fall into some deep thought. She turned her eyes to the dim street lamp outside the window, completely ignoring the passage of time.
This almost strange silence lasted more than three hours. Seeing that the time had passed two o'clock in the morning, Xie Hongbo warned: "director, it's already two o'clock. You have to catch the plane at four o'clock in the morning. Why don't... Let's go back first."
Zhong Ruoxi didn't respond. Xie Hongbo was silent for a while. Then he turned his head and whispered, "director."
"Ah." Zhong Ruoxi returned to his mind and asked with a slight frown, "what's the matter?"
"It's very late," Xie Hongbo whispered. "Do you need me to inform the airport and ask them to postpone the departure time?"
"Too much trouble, no need." Zhong Ruoxi sighed softly. "Call Li Qing and meet him."
"Yes." Xie Hongbo picked up his cell phone and dialed Li Qing's number.
At this time, Li Qing is sitting in front of Lin Qiuqiu's bed with her newborn baby. Ning manxuan, Long Wu and Fang Yong all went to rest. There were only three people left in the room. The atmosphere was harmonious and beautiful.
Li Qing and Lin Qiuqiu have just discussed the naming of the baby for a while. Li Qing's several proposals were directly rejected by Lin Qiuqiu for no reason. It's too vulgar.
"Son, I'm coming to life. You can't use your brain. You're stupid." Lin Qiuqiu complained with a small mouth. Although she was weak, she spoke as sharp as ever, which made Li Qing sweat.
"Let me think again... Think again..." Li Qing stared at the baby in her arms, with an unprecedented tenderness in her eyes.
Many people say that the baby just born is wrinkled. In fact, it's not good-looking at all, but at the moment, the little guy in Li Qinghuai is abnormal. His skin is white and clear, just like clotting fat, and he also shows a faint blush. His eyes are closed, and he is sleeping sweetly in Li Qinghuai.
"It's so cute." Li Qing couldn't help exclaiming.
Lin Qiuqiu took a sip of her mouth and said, "it's very scary for me. Such a big guy actually fell out of my stomach. It's really a nightmare."
"Does it hurt?"
"Tear your heart and crack your lungs." Lin Qiuqiu blinked her beautiful eyes. "You men are really lucky. In my opinion, it should be changed to have children. I will have children this time, and you will be right next time..."
"I'm powerless." Li Qing smiled and touched Lin qiuqing's forehead. "We'll take protective measures in the future. We won't give birth. I'm also distressed to see you work so hard."
"You have a conscience."
The two were whispering when the mobile phone rang suddenly. Li Qing was startled for fear of waking up the sleeping baby and hurriedly pressed the sound.
"It's Xie Hongbo." Li Qing's face changed slightly. "What's he doing on the phone so late?"
Lin Qiuqiu whispered, "pick it up outside and give me the baby."
"Well." Li Qing nodded and put the child wrapped in a thin blanket beside Lin Qiuqiu. "It didn't wake him up. This little thing is really heartless."
"It comes down in one continuous line." Lin Qiuqiu looked at Li Qing and turned his eyes.
Li Qing smiled, turned and walked out of the room. At the same time, he pressed the answer button: "Sheriff Xie, what can I do for you?"
"Li Qing, director Zhong is downstairs, the street behind the hospital."
Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and then his voice slowly sank down: "is the rumor true?"
"It seems that you have heard the wind." Xie Hongbo did not directly answer Li Qing, "come down. Director Zhong has to catch the plane back to Yanjing at 4 a.m. there is not much time."
"OK, I'll go down right away." Li Qing said and hung up.
Taking a deep breath, Li Qing turned back to the room. Lin Qiuqiu was quietly staring at the baby next to her, her eyes bright and colorful.
"I'm going out," said Li Qing. "Zhong Ruoxi is downstairs."
"Oh." Lin Qiuqiu casually replied, but his hand holding the thin blanket was slightly stiff without warning.
Li Qing pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I got a message from Ma Baoshan today that the port inspector's office is going to be replaced."
Lin Qiuqiu's pale cheek flashed a touch of consternation. He quickly turned his head and stared at Li Qing: "is the news accurate?"
Li Qingyang's mobile phone: "I didn't believe it before, but with tonight's call, it's beyond doubt."
"This is tantamount to a tsunami. Recently, there will be great unrest near the port." Lin Qiuqiu's jade hand tightened inexplicably. "Do you know the reason?"
"I don't know, but I can guess," replied Li Qing in a low voice. "The reason is probably that I'm too close to the inspector's office."
"You go, don't worry about me. I'm tired and want to have a rest." Lin Qiuqiu slowly closed her beautiful eyes and gently waved her hand, "send her well."
Li Qing nodded: "I see. You have a good rest. I'll talk about it in detail when I come back."
After that, Li Qing turned and walked out of the house again. There was silence around. Lin Qiuqiu frowned slightly and opened his eyes gently. There was a trace of unspeakable anxiety at the bottom of his eyes: "there's trouble..."
Whether Lin Qiuqiu or Li Qing, they are quite clear in their hearts. The power of the director of the inspection department is second only to the chief executive in the whole Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. In the real sense, it is below one person and above ten thousand people. Zhong Ruoxi has served as the director of the port supervision department for eight years. He has worked hard and made outstanding contributions. According to common sense, there is absolutely no reason for such a sudden transfer.
But now that things have really happened, it can only be Zhong Ruoxi's personal problem. If you put it more thoroughly, it is the emotional problem between Zhong Ruoxi and Li Qing, which has made her unfit for the position of director of the inspector's office.
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 pure feeling, once placed in the interest chain, is enough to attract the vigilance of the four parties, it can no longer be pure.
