Seeing the middle-aged man tightly pursing his mouth and not talking, Li Qing couldn't help sneering: "Oh, don't say? How about we change a place?"
Before Li Qing took further action, another familiar man's voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "that... Let go of my men?"
"Hmm?" Li Qing looked sideways and saw that Xie Hongbo was leaning against the street lamp post five or six meters away from the newsstand, holding a cigarette in his mouth and squinting at himself.
Li Qing blinked and couldn't help but look stunned: "the people in the inspector's office?"
Xie Hongbo gently nodded his head: "HMM."
Li Qing turned her head and looked at the boss of the newsstand. She was rather unwilling to let go. The latter glared at him and lowered his head to sort out the messy books and magazines as if nothing had happened.
Li Qing turned around and stared at Xie Hongbo: "what does that mean?"
He put out the cigarette in his mouth, threw it into the garbage can on the side, and then walked to a slightly remote street nearby with his shoulder: "speak in another place."
Li Qing looked around warily and followed Xie Hongbo. The two walked through the streets and entered a milk tea shop two or three hundred meters away from Jing'an road.
The milk tea shop was empty. Xie Hongbo gestured to the shop owner, and then sat down in front of a plastic table.
Li Qing sat opposite him: "explain it to me."
"What's your attitude?" Xie Hongbo frowned slightly and looked dissatisfied. "Are you my officer? Do I have any obligation to explain the situation to you? On the contrary, it's you. Don't appear on the spot every time we perform our tasks, okay?"
Li Qing gently tugged at the corner of his mouth: "OK, you can't say. I'll hang a banner and tell everyone that decent people from the port supervision office should squat down on Jing'an road."
"I tell you, don't threaten me. You should be responsible for sabotaging our actions!" Xie Hongbo raised his hand and pointed to Li Qing. He gave a cold warning. He found that the latter got up and wanted to go out, and shouted, "come back!"
Li Qing turned to look at him and spread his hands.
Xie Hongbo pointed to the table and sighed softly, "let's talk slowly."
"OK." Li Qing grinned and walked back to sit down.
Xie Hongbo felt his teeth itch when he saw his elated appearance. But the guy in front of him had a special identity. He had to take a bad breath and asked in a stuffy voice, "what are you doing here?"
"Look at a friend."
"Xue Yuexin?"
"It's true." Li Qing hesitated a little and nodded. "So you're here for her, too?"
The boss brought up two cups of milk tea and put them on the table. Xie Hongbo lifted the lid and took a sip: "it's true."
Li Qing looked discontented: "what is it?"
"Oh, I just learned from you."
Li Qing gently picked the tip of her eyebrows, and then said lazily, "I'm mainly for Mo Li. He has been with Xue Yuexin recently."
"Well, I know. I just want to verify this with you." Xie Hongbo leaned forward slightly and put his elbow on the table. "What's going on? Did you send him to protect Xue Yuexin?"
"No," Li Qing immediately denied, "what he meant."
When he found that Xie Hongbo opposite looked like he didn't believe it, Li Qing said, "I really don't need to lie to you. If possible, I'd like to let him stay away from Xue Yuexin."
"All right." Xie Hongbo gently nodded his head. "Let me tell you something. If you want to ensure Molly's safety, don't let him be so close to Xue Yuexin."
"Speak clearly." Li Qing said faintly, "how can the port supervision office be so interested in a popular female singer? Do you plan to enter the entertainment industry recently?"
"Ha ha." Xie Hongbo couldn't help laughing, lowered his head and stared at the milk tea cup in front of him.
After a while, he raised his head again: "Xue Yuexin once got a secret document, and even the whole family was very interested. Do you know that?"
Li Qing's eyelids jumped fiercely, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "well."
Xie Hongbo stared at him with an unfathomable look on his face: "the director suspected that she had kept the document all the time."
Not only did Zhong Ruoxi doubt, but even Li Qing had such an idea in his heart, so he didn't feel surprised.
Seeing his calm face, Xie Hongbo couldn't help saying, "you know?"
"I don't know." Li Qing answered without hesitation, and then asked, "do you have any evidence?"
"No," said Xie Hongbo, slowly leaning back to the back of his chair, "if there is evidence in hand, is it still so troublesome?"
"Oh, what's wrong with you?" Li Qing sneered. "Didn't you just remind me to take Molly? It's been a long time, but there's no evidence?"
"There is no evidence, but we never come out of nowhere." Xie Hongbo knocked on the cup in front of him with one finger. "We found that Xue Yuexin was in contact with the Qi family recently. Guess what it was for?"
Li Qing frowned and his face was slightly cold: "are you sure?"
"Hehe hehe." Xie Hongbo chuckled and looked at him with some ridicule at the bottom of his eyes, "how about being strong and being calculated in the end?"
"Hiss." Li Qing took a cold breath and couldn't help falling into a moment of deep thought.
If Xie Hongbo's words are true and Xue Yuexin is indeed in private contact with the Qi family, he is really used by this woman.
Li Qing whispered, "can't the whole family rob and plan to trade with her?"
"Thank you for that." Xie Hongbo joked, "Xue Yuexin was lucky to hold your big tree to keep out the wind and rain, which made the whole family feel tied up."
Li Qing asked, "what are your plans now?"
Xie Hongbo answered without hesitation: "we want that document."
"Can I help you?"
"No need." Xie Hongbo shook his head quickly. "Just don't make trouble."
"OK?"
"Very sure." Xie Hongbo smiled faintly on his cheek. "The director told me that if I meet you again, I must urge you to hurry back to Mingtai. The matter of Demeter over there has not been handled properly."
"I'm very busy recently. I'll talk about it later."
"I just convey the director's words to you. As for how to do it, it's your own business." Xie Hongbo suddenly turned and asked again, "are you still going to see Xue Yuexin?"
"Of course, I want to talk to her about Molly."
"I don't need to remind you what to say and what not to say."
"Don't worry, I'm measured and won't hurt your business." Li Qing stood up and planned to go out, "then I'll go first."
"Hey, wait." Xie Hongbo quickly called him and pointed to the milk tea on the table. "I only buy my own order."
Li Qing took a hard blow from the corner of his eye: "your inspector's office is still short of this money?"
"Sorry, I didn't allocate funds for this operation. My poor monthly salary can't even compare with your change. Bear more."
"Pretend to be poor in front of me? You'd better die poor!" Li Qing shouted angrily, walked back and took out his wallet. "Your father's spending an hour outside is enough for you to earn a lifetime."
"He is him, I am me." Xie Hongbo replied with a smile, "I have faith and ideals."
Li Qing took out a bill and pressed it on the table. When he turned to leave, his feet were a little meal. He turned back and took the cup of milk tea in his hand before he went out.
Xie Hongbo shouted in the back, "Hey! I didn't give you change!"
"Forget it, I'll give you a donation!"
Li Qing returned to Jing'an Road, stood on the street and drank the milk tea, then stuffed the empty cup into the trash can, clapped her hands and walked back to the newsstand.
He reached out his hand and flipped through the lined magazines. He asked carelessly, "Hey, does Xue Yuexin live here recently?"
The middle-aged man in the newsstand raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Qing. He turned his head to sort out the newspaper in his hand and didn't speak.
"Oh, I still remember my revenge." Li Qing shook his head with a smile. "You should know who I am? My friendship with director Xie is very ordinary. Don't you open your mouth? Believe it or not, I'll let him wear small shoes for you?"
"Alas." he sighed gently, picked up a beautiful magazine, turned around and leaned against the newsstand to read it with relish, "you director Xie just told me that you are his old subordinate and work diligently..."
The middle-aged man turned his head, stretched his neck and listened attentively.
"He also said that if he had a chance, he would..." Li Qing suddenly paused, then stared at the magazine in his hand and his eyes brightened. "Oh, this girl looks so smart. Where did you invite the model..."
The middle-aged man said, "what else did we say?"
"Tut Tut, it's really good." Li Qing stretched out his hand and measured it on the picture, completely ignoring him, "this leg is thin and white, but it's really long..."
"Cough." the middle-aged man cleared his throat and said stuffy, "Xue Yuexin has lived here in recent days."
"Oh?" Li Qing quickly put down the magazine in his hand and turned to look at him. "Where's the tall bodyguard? Will you come back with her?"
The middle-aged man's face changed slightly: "you tell me first. We Xie said that if we had a chance, we were going to take me..."
"You answer my question first." Li Qing waved his hand and interrupted him. "Will the bodyguard come back with her?"
"You mean Molly? He will send Xue Yuexin back, but he will leave soon and will not stay overnight."
"When does Xue Yuexin usually come back?"
"Around 6 p.m."
"Well, thank you."
"Hey, you haven't said yet!"
"Ah, you Xie Chu said that if you have a chance, you're going to... Change a place to sell newspapers." Li Qing said, grinning at the middle-aged man with pig liver color on his cheek, turned and drove away.
