Qiao Xue screamed and reached out to climb the door frame, but she was still pinched by Li Qing's ankle and dragged into the house.

Li Qing took the door back and breathed heavily.

Qiao Xue got up and swept her eyes gently in the room. She saw that the window of the living room was open and the key she had lost was lying quietly on the tea table in front of the sofa.

"I'm very tired now." Li Qing pressed his hands down. "Can we give up the dispute and give each other a little time to rest?"

"How do you know my home is here?" Qiao Xuehan asked in a voice. The exquisite little foot without shoes had inadvertently stepped on her favorite wool carpet.

"What? Do you really think falling into the sea will drown me?" Li Qing sneered. "I hid in the carriage of that truck and took a ride all the way here. I watched you go upstairs and saw the voice control light in the corridor go on to the eighth floor. In addition, there is only one room on this floor without lights. How can I know this is your home?"

Qiao Xue took a gentle breath and took a half step back: "get out."

"No." Li Qing shook his head. "I'm going to stay at your house tonight. Just let me take a bath and sleep in the guest room."

"You are not welcome in my family."

"Shall I open the door and let you in and talk about my conscience?"

"Don't you believe I killed you in the middle of the night?"

Li Qing doesn't care: "ha ha, as long as you have this ability."

The Mou light slightly twinkled for a while, Qiao Xue asked low, "what do you want?"

Li Qing yawned: "to tell you the truth, I'm just very tired. I'm really too tired. Instead of going back to the hospital and worrying about peace all night, I'd better find a clean place to have a good sleep. Let's keep quiet all night. What can we do tomorrow?"

His words really talked about Qiao Xue's heart. Even though he suspected Li Qing's plot, he couldn't help gently nodding his head: "only this night."

Li Qing relaxed and grinned at Qiao Xue: "of course, I'll let you use the bathroom first."

"You go first."

"OK, borrow your towel." Li Qing nodded and turned to the bathroom.

Qiao Xue stared at him, who didn't take himself as an outsider at all, and couldn't help being angry. She really wanted to kill Li Qing with a machine gun while he was taking a bath in the bathroom, but on second thought, it was a little disgusting for a naked man to die in his bathroom.

"It's cheaper for you tonight." Qiao Xue muttered, turned and walked to the telephone, hesitated for a while, picked up the microphone and dialed Zhou Wenhao's mobile phone number.

Not long after the phone was connected, Zhou Wenhao's slightly surprised voice came from the microphone: "are you at home?"

"Yes, I just got home."

"How's Nick?"

"He's dead." Qiao Xueshen said, "he died in the hands of Li Qing. I couldn't stop him."

There was a long silence on the phone. After a long time, Zhou Wenhao's low voice sounded again.

"I have just received the accident report from Nanli bridge and am going to send someone over." Zhou Wenhao's voice is mixed with a trace of annoyance. "Where is Li Qing now?"

Qiao Xue couldn't help glancing at the bathroom, stabilized her mind and replied, "I don't know."

"Nick's murder is a great loss to us. Now the situation near the port is becoming more and more complex, and Li Qing has completely got out of control."

Qiao Xue originally wanted to say "he was not under your control", but she didn't want to argue with Zhou Wenhao at this time, so she still didn't say it.

"I'm already in the inspector's office." Zhou Wenhao said again, "hurry up and let's discuss the countermeasures."

Qiao Xue pondered for a moment and said, "tomorrow, I'm very tired tonight."

"What? Tomorrow?" Zhou Wenhao exclaimed. "Something may happen every second. You said you wanted to wait until tomorrow?"

Qiao Xue regretted calling Zhou Wenhao. She was silent for a while and repeated, "I'm very tired now."

Zhou Wenhao sighed: "well, I'll wait for you tomorrow morning."

"Well, that's it."

"Light snow." when Qiao Xue was about to hang up, Zhou Wenhao suddenly called out, and his tone softened, "are you hurt?"

"No."

"Well, have a good rest. Call me if you have anything. I... I'm worried about you."

"Take care of yourself." Qiao Xue said casually and hung up the call.

Put down the microphone, Qiao Xue pulled out the power supply of the phone without hesitation, and her body relaxed slowly. I don't know when to call Zhou Wenhao has become a burden.

At the moment, Qiao Xue doesn't realize that this is the last call between her and Zhou Wenhao. The cold words just made will become the last goodbye between the two.

Qiao Xue sat there quietly and stayed for a long time.

Until the sound of opening the door came from the bathroom, Li Qing wrapped in a bath towel came out, looked up and sighed: "ah, so comfortable."

Qiao Xue turned her head and glanced at Li Qing. She didn't speak.

Li Qing stretched out his hand and pointed back: "I just washed my clothes and hung them in your house. I'll wear them when I leave tomorrow morning."

"Hang it in your own room, or I'll throw it away as garbage."

"All right." Li Qing shrugged her shoulders, turned around and pulled some wet clothes after taking off the water, and walked to the guest room on the other side of the living room.

When passing by Qiao Xue, Li Qing suddenly stopped and took a look at her: "when I took a bath... Didn't you peek?"

Qiao Xuejiao's body stagnated and opened her mouth. She was so angry that she couldn't speak. She just stared at the brazen guy in front of her.

"Oh, I'll be relieved." Li Qing nodded. "I'll go to bed. Good night."

When the voice fell, Li Qing really swaggered into the guest room and closed the door.

A deep sense of helplessness surged up from his heart. Qiao Xue didn't know how to treat Li Qing at this moment. Is this guy an enemy or a friend?

Anyway, at least this night, the two people who were tired by the trivial things of life were safe and did not take the initiative to find each other's trouble

Zhou Wenhao sat behind his desk and stared at the mobile phone screen in front of him until it turned completely black.

Dong Dong!

"Come in."

The door of the office was pushed open. Xie Hongbo went all the way to the table and saluted: "director."

"Coming." Zhou Wenhao looked up. "It's hard for you to come back so late."

"It doesn't matter. I happen to have insomnia tonight." Xie Hongbo smiled, "director, please explain the task."

Zhou Wenhao gently blinked: "have you heard of the car accident that just happened in Nanli bridge?"

Xie Hongbo nodded: "I heard."

"Nick was killed by Li Qing." Zhou Wenhao whispered, "now Li Qing has disappeared, leaving only a pile of mess for us to deal with."

"Sergeant Joe..."

"She is recuperating at home, feeling a little depressed." Zhou Wenhao said perfunctorily, "send someone to Nanli bridge to have a look and salvage Nick's body."

After a pause, Zhou Wenhao continued, "as for you, go to Gangbei hospital and arrest Li Qing."

Xie Hongbo was surprised: "director, didn't you just say that Li Qing has disappeared?"

"Yes." Zhou Wenhao nodded. "Since Li Qing intends to be our enemy, we might as well expose his little tricks to the media. He wants to cheat to protect himself, so I just won't let him succeed."

Xie Hongbo stared at Zhou Wenhao and suddenly felt that the director in front of him seemed a little childish. Even if you disclose to the media that Li Qing is not in the hospital at the moment, or even that Li Qing has been pretending to be ill, what's the significance? Qi kuanshang is still in the detention room. You can't even take care of the Qi family. Do you have any spare power to fight the Li family?

Li Qing, you must repay him. On the one hand, you provide shelter for his enemies, on the other hand, you want to cooperate with him. It's a joke. The so-called wisdom is mistaken by wisdom, which is mostly so.

"Fortunately..." Xie Hongbo said silently in his heart, but he nodded his head gently on the surface.

"Yes."

"Well, do it," said Zhou Wenhao in a deep voice.

Xie Hongbo saluted and turned to leave the office. At the moment he went out, Zhou Wenhao suddenly asked, "I heard you are the Xie family?"

His body was slightly stiff. Xie Hongbo turned and looked at Zhou Wenhao's uncertain look with a blank face.

Zhou Wenhao said with a smile, "ask casually."

Xie Hongbo nodded, "yes."

"What do the Xie family think of the situation near the port?"

"Report to the director, I don't know."

Zhou Wenhao then asked, "don't you want to intervene?"

"Report to the director, I don't know."

After staring at Xie Hongbo for a while, Zhou Wenhao sighed gently and waved his hand: "forget it, you go and be busy."

"Yes." Xie Hongbo turned to go out and took the door.

He walked all the way along the corridor. When he passed the guard office, he said in a deep voice, "everyone assemble. There are urgent tasks to carry out."

Hu Qimeng, the head of the security department on the night shift, stood up and stared round his eyes: "thank you, what did you say?"

Even though Hu Qi's rank is one level lower than Xie Hongbo's, he is ultimately the director of the security department. He is responsible for maintaining the security work of the port supervision office, which is not within Xie Hongbo's transfer authority. No matter how high-level Xie Hongbo is and how deep his background is, he can only call the wind and rain in his own inspection operation.

"It's a mission." Xie Hongbo approached Hu Qi and said in a low voice, "take your people and come with me."

"Xie Chu, this is the matter of your inspection action office." Hu Qi obviously looked confused. "I'm the security office. Only the chief director can be transferred. Are you wrong?"
