It was the first Sunday after Li Qing arrived in Mingtai, but he couldn't sleep well. Before dawn, he was awakened by a rush of mobile phone ringing.
Li Qing sat up straight, picked up his mobile phone from the bedside table and pressed the answer button: "hello."
Zhong Ruoxi said faintly on the phone, "I found the person you mentioned last time."
Li Qing laboriously blinked and glanced at the alarm clock at the head of the bed: "my director, it's not four o'clock in the morning."
"What's the problem?"
Li Qing couldn't help yawning: "don't you sleep?"
"After calling you, I'll go to bed."
"Ah?" Li Qing gently tugged at the corners of his mouth, "you didn't sleep all night?"
"Oh, there are some files to deal with. It's a little late."
"You pay attention to your health. How can you stay up so late?" Li Qing said, "you're over 30, and you're getting older faster..."
As soon as Zhong Ruoxi heard Li Qing mention his age, he couldn't help shouting: "Li Qing! Do you still want to know!"
"Ha ha, don't be angry, beauty." Li Qing smiled, "of course I want to know. What did you find?"
"The little du you mentioned last time, his full name is Du Huasheng." Zhong Ruoxi said slowly, "I have some information about him. It's not small."
Li Qingmei frowned: "hmm? Is there a background?"
"The family behind him controls a reactionary armed force in Southeast Asia and has been waging repeated saw saw wars with government forces over the years."
"Ah?" Li Qing was surprised. "Is there no mistake?"
"There's absolutely nothing wrong. We found his picture. The two are one person."
Li Qing suddenly realized that no wonder he always felt that Xiao Du's status was very unusual. Even Zhao Zhen treated him leniently. It turned out that he had this background.
"What should I do? Can't this man move?" Li Qing was silent for a moment and asked, "I planned to kill him, completely cut off the line between the Jiang family and Demeter, and then force Jiang Yuanzhou to cooperate with me."
"Now, in order to avoid causing more trouble, it's better not to touch him for the time being," Zhong Ruoxi said. "Of course, if you have to do it, you can get rid of him and I'll bear the consequences."
Li Qing sighed: "well, it's no use even if I find him. Well, I'll think of other ways."
"OK." Zhong Ruoxi answered softly and turned to say, "there's another thing. I need your help."
Li Qing lay on her back and asked lazily, "what's the matter?"
"I want a list of all the forces that have traded arms with Jiang Yuanzhou over the years."
Li Qing suddenly turned over again and sneered: "stop it. How can you get this kind of thing?"
"Do something. I'm in a hurry."
"It's not a matter of trying to find a way. That list must be more important than Jiang Yuanzhou's family and life. I may not get it if I kill him." Li Qing pulled hard at the corners of his mouth. "Can you assign me a simpler task? Running all the way to Mingtai is enough torture. Don't arrange such a difficult copy for me?"
Zhong Ruoxi was a little unhappy: "I have helped you. You must help me."
"Hey, are you still reasonable? I went to Mingtai to make trouble, but I didn't work for you."
"You owe me a favor to protect Qiao Xue." Zhong Ruoxi shouted angrily, "you owe me more."
"OK, I won't argue with you about this." Li Qing took a deep breath. "I asked you to find out where Xiao Du is. What's the result you gave me? Tell me why you can't move him. Even if you help me, it's too insincere. Now I can tell you plainly that I can't get the list."
"Are you still a man? You can't do that?"
"Does this have anything to do with men? I can't even do it with three heads and six arms."
After a long silence on the phone, Zhong Ruoxi's beautiful voice rang again: "I beg you, can't you?"
Li Qing sighed silently: "what do you want this list to do?"
"Of course, check it out." Zhong Ruoxi replied, "this list has a lot to do with me, but it's not just me. Many people at the top want to see where the arms in northern Hong Kong are sold, and how many forces are using these weapons for illegal activities."
"Just to have a look?"
"Of course, it's not that simple. It also involves the country's political diplomacy, which is very deep. It's inconvenient to elaborate with you."
Li Qing hesitated for a moment and said with some uncertainty, "let me try. It's hard to say whether I can get it. If it causes adverse effects, you'll bear it for me."
"Don't worry, I've been carrying it for you." Zhong Ruoxi's voice is a little lazy. It's obvious that she hasn't slept all night. She also feels tired. "Let's do it first. You can contact me whenever you make progress."
"Wait a minute." Li Qing suddenly said, "I have another condition."
Zhong Ruoxi was stunned: "conditions? What conditions do you want?"
Li Qing smiled: "kiss me on the phone and I'll help you."
"Stop it. Why are you so poor?"
"Then I don't care." Li Qing shouted, "you quarreled before dawn. If you have a series of bad thoughts, you can't have some welfare? Director Zhong, it's easy to trigger a strike if you squeeze the labor force so much, you know?"
"You... Are such a scoundrel."
"I'm such a person, don't you understand?" Li Qing said solemnly. "I let you kiss me on the phone, but I didn't let you give your body. Are you? You're coy, like a big girl in a sedan chair..."
Zhong Ruoxi was speechless for a while. As a last resort, she had to blush and kiss the microphone: "is that ok? It's disgusting to me."
"Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha, ha ha ha
"You're kidding me?" Zhong Ruoxi couldn't cry or laugh. "Kiss and make trouble. This list must be obtained, otherwise I won't clean you up."
"How can you clean me up? Let me go back?" Li Qing said with a smile. "OK, you go to bed honestly. I'll think of a way."
"Well, I'll hang up."
"It's almost dawn, good night." Li Qing said faintly. The other party was silent for a while and immediately hung up the call.
Put down the phone, the smile on Li Qing's face has disappeared, replaced by a sad face. Although the surface seems quite relaxed, Li Qing knows the difficulty of getting the list. Now he's a little eager to break into Jiang's house and tie up the old guy in Jiang Yuanzhou and torture him.
"Crazy, how can you get this kind of thing..." Li Qing shouted, but he couldn't sleep anyway when he lay down again.
He didn't know if Zhong Ruoxi would sleep well. Anyway, he had a hard time. This melancholy virtue continued on the breakfast table.
"Alas." Li Qing picked up a piece of breakfast, sighed and put it down.
He was stunned for a while, picked it up again and sighed again, "alas."
"Big brother." Qian Liming across the table stared at Li Qing's neurotic appearance and couldn't help but say, "this dry food bothers you? Why don't you beat it and make it into cakes?"
"I want to make you into a cake." Li Qing glared at Qian Liming angrily, "it's disturbing."
"Yo, you're like a big girl..." Qian Liming smiled and put down the atherosclerotic bowl. "Brother, tell me what's difficult for you."
Li Qing shook his head: "it's useless to tell you."
"Forget it, brother, I'll tell you. Don't disagree. I've done a lot better than you." Qian Liming patted his chest and said carelessly, "you can tell me what difficulties you encounter and I'll help you settle them. We're not brothers. I can't help my brothers."
Li Qing glanced at the fat man across the table and slowly opened his mouth: "Ruoxi called early this morning..."
"Stop!" Qian Liming quickly waved his hand. "You don't have to say. As long as it involves the port supervision office, it must be bad. Please spare my life. I don't want to hear."
Li Qing stared: "didn't you just say to help me settle it?"
"You're a little magnificent today. I'm not fair. Please be wise." Qian Liming picked up the porridge bowl, gulped the rest of the half bowl of porridge, then picked up a piece of breakfast, stuffed it into his mouth, turned and ran away.
While chewing, he murmured, "I have something else to do. I have to hurry to the company. Brother, take your time."
Li Qing turned his head and scolded, "shit, wasn't he a brother just now? Why are you running now? Don't go. I'm waiting for you to help me settle it."
Qian Liming waved his hand, said nothing, and went out of the door without a trace. He doesn't dare to meddle in the affairs of the port supervision office. It's easy to lose his head if he's not careful.
"Dead fat man, run fast this time." Li Qing scolded angrily, turned around and continued to eat breakfast stuffy.
"Alas," he sighed again, "what can I do?"
When I was worried, the mobile phone ring suddenly rang.
Li Qing put down his chopsticks, picked up his mobile phone and looked at it. He was surprised to find that the caller was Lu Yun.
Remembering that day when she left at Mingtai hospital, Lu Yun said she would call Li Qing when she had time. Unexpectedly, the woman came for real.
"What a lonely guy." Li Qing shook his head helplessly and pressed the answer button, "what's the matter?"
"I'm going back to Jiang's house to get some clothes today. I can just be lazy." Lu Yun looked very excited. "Let's meet."
