Zhou Wenhao's death has always been a thorn in Li Qing's heart. But what happened now made him a little confused.

Li Qing stared down at the broken crossbow in the white jade's hand and couldn't help taking a half step back.

"I... I..." Li Qing opened her mouth and immediately turned to go out. "I'll prepare breakfast for you and go downstairs quickly."

Zhong Ruoxi stared at the closed door and felt that the waves just set off under her heart had calmed down again and become a stagnant pool.

Since then, this matter has become a taboo between the two people, and no one has mentioned it again.

At 9 a.m. that day, the party left amai island by helicopter. Xiao Du said all the good words around Zhong Ruoxi. He wanted to stay, but he only got a cold face in exchange.

"I'll go back," Du Huasheng said to Li Qing. When he said this, he stared at Zhong Ruoxi not far away, all with an unwilling face.

"Although the port inspector's office let you go, it won't help you erase your criminal record. I hope you can pass smoothly." Li Qing smiled and patted Xiao Du on the shoulder. "If there is another time, I will send you to the police station."

"Mr. Li!" Jiang Yu waved in the distance, "let's go!"

"Ah, I see!" Li Qing answered, then smiled and nodded at Xiao Du, "goodbye."

"Have a nice trip." Xiao Du waved his hand and stepped back two steps.

"Oh, the world is unpredictable. Three days ago, I could not imagine that I would have the opportunity to stand here and talk calmly with you." Li Qing smiled, shook her head, immediately turned away and boarded the helicopter behind Zhong Ruoxi.

There was nothing to say all the way. At 4:20 p.m., Li Qing returned to Gangbei.

After getting off the plane, Jiang Yu said with a smile, "Mr. Li, let me take you back."

Li Qing waved his hand: "no, I'll go back by myself."

Jiang Yu glanced at Zhong Ruoxi. He saw that the latter gently said goodbye to her, as if he hadn't heard the dialogue between the two people at all. He couldn't help remembering that the two people who had been very talkable didn't seem to have said a word along the way.

"Is there a contradiction?" Jiang Yu murmured in his heart, gently moved back half a step, smiled and nodded. "Well, anyway, it's convenient to take a taxi outside. Mr. Li goes back and has a good rest."

"Well, I'll go first." Li Qing nodded, glanced at Zhong Ruoxi's back, and immediately turned and left.

Li Qing walked all the way out of the small military airport and stood at the slightly deserted road junction. He took a deep breath and felt that the whole person was relaxed.

After such a long time of blind tossing, it's finally over for the time being. Although Li Qing knows that the affair about Demeter is far from over, he can have a rest after all.

He raised his head and stared at the tall poplar tree on the street. He could see that lush green had gushed out of the branches.

"Spring is good." Li Qing smiled, raised her hand and hit a taxi, opened the door and sat in, "canglan manor."

The driver looked at the man in the co driver's seat and his eyes twitched slightly. He obviously recognized Li Qing, but he didn't dare to say anything and drove away.

"He's a smart guy..." Li Qing said secretly, and seemed quite satisfied with the driver's response. He suddenly caught a glimpse of a newspaper stuffed in the box next to the co pilot's seat and took it out to read it.

This is the Lingang morning post on March 18. The second edition covers a full page, reporting the sixth music album "journey home" to be released by Xue Yuexin, the little singer.

Although Li Qing likes Xue Yuexin's songs very much, he is not a music enthusiast, so this kind of news is not attractive to him.

However, when he casually browsed down and saw a report picture, his eyebrows could not help frowning, and his good mood disappeared in an instant.

It was a live photo of Xue Yuexin attending a music festival. The singer in the picture was still beautiful and charming, with a gentle and polite smile on her lips, just like the impression in Li Qing's memory.

But behind her, Li Qing saw another face.

Not surprisingly, that man is Molly. In the picture, he grinned and stared at Xue Yuexin in front of him, with a comfortable smile on his face.

Li Qing knows that Molly has been secretly protecting Xue Yuexin. From this picture alone, the relationship between the two people seems to have developed further. At least, Xue Yuexin has admitted the existence of Molly and allowed him to stand by his side.

"Hiss." he took a breath gently and looked irritable, which attracted the driver around him to glance at him secretly, looking frightened.

Li Qing rolled up the newspaper and stuffed it into the storage box. Then he sighed gently: "take me to Jing'an road first."

"Ah, good." the driver nodded repeatedly, turned at the intersection in front, and drove towards Jing'an road again.

Li Qing turned her head and stared at the street scenery passing by outside the window. Her eyes were filled with deep anxiety.

Molly and Xue Yuexin stay together, which makes Li Qing very worried. He even regretted that when Mo fool was obsessed with this woman, he should have come out to stop it.

But at that time, Molly had just come out of the shadow of his first relationship. Li Qing really couldn't bear to drive him into the bottom again.

Li Qing admitted that Xue Yuexin is very good. If any man can marry her, it should be a blessing for eight generations. But she's not good enough.

A girl of humble status climbed up to the present high position from penniless, stood in the center of the shining spotlight and was favored. This is due to talent and more effort.

But Li Qing has every reason to believe that no matter how pure the girl is and how clean her soul is, she must have lost something in the process of trying to climb. These things may not affect her beauty, but they do affect her integrity.

Li Qing knows very well that Xue Yuexin has developed an extremely cruel nature of mind due to her long difficult life. She is a person who can bear to give up everything for herself at a critical moment. If Molly gets too close to her, sooner or later she will be the object of this woman's abandonment.

In addition, Li Qing is more worried. He was sure that Xue Yuexin lied about stealing the secret document from the Lord of Wales four years ago. This is like a secret bomb. Once it is suddenly blown up, the guy closest to Xue Yuexin will be blown to the bone in an instant.

Li Qingsi measured for a long time until the driver stopped the car and pulled him back from his chaotic and complex thoughts.

"Thank you for keeping me quiet all the way." Li Qing took out some notes and handed them to the driver. He opened the door and got off the bus. "Don't change."

He closed the door in the driver's surprised eyes, stood under the street sign of Jing'an road and looked around. At this place, Li Qing didn't know what to do.

Across the street is the senior apartment where Xue Yuexin lives. She may or may not be at home now. Of course, Molly is probably there.

But what if she's at home? Can li Qing directly pull Molly away and warn him not to associate with Xue Yuexin in the future?

He may have this parental authority over Molly, but what can he do with such power? Molly is no longer a child. He doesn't need others to tell him right and wrong, what to do and what not to do, let alone Li Qing's sudden appearance, which completely disrupts his life and extinguishes his hope.

Li Qing stood still and hesitated.

Click!

Hearing the sound of pressing the shutter from her side, Li Qing couldn't help looking over her head. She was surprised to see an old friend.

The girl with a black backpack stood seven or eight meters away, wearing an early spring flannelette hat, put down her camera, tilted her small head and looked at Li Qing with a smile: "Mr. Li, can I interview you?"

"Yang Xi Xi." Li Qing turned and smiled.

"It's rare that you remember me."

"You are such a special girl, I should remember."

Yang Xi Xi smiled brightly at the corners of his mouth and raised his finger to the cafe on the street: "how about a cup of coffee?"

"Your treat?"

"If you accept the interview," said Yang Xixi, with his lips turned up and his beautiful eyes full of cunning, "I'll buy you coffee."

"Ah." Li Qing nodded seriously and patted her hand gently. "Beauty, please have coffee and plan to chat with me. It's really cost-effective for me. I really can't find any reason to refuse."

Yang Xi Xi giggled, waved to Li Qing, turned and ran into the cafe.

Li Qing looked at the high-end apartment across the road, followed her and walked in.

The cafe was deserted. Yang Xi sat at a table by the window, like a quiet and obedient pupil. The coffee cup in front of her was no longer steaming. It was obvious that she had been sitting in that position for quite a long time.

After staring at her for a while, Li Qing walked slowly over, opened a chair and sat down.

"Why have you been watching for so long?" Yang Xixi asked with a smile. "Are you worried that I will suddenly go crazy?"

"To tell you the truth," said Li Qing with a faint smile, "I've never seen you go crazy. I'm a little curious."

Yang Xi Xi gently rolled his eyes and turned his head to the waiter: "please, two cappuccinos."

"OK, please wait a moment." the waiter leaned slightly and turned to prepare. After a while, two cups of steaming coffee were brought to the table.

Yang Xixi pushed a cup of coffee to Li Qing, and then added several pieces of sugar to his cup of coffee. She leaned over and took a small sip, and immediately narrowed her big eyes with satisfaction.

Li Qing smiled and said, "I can see that you've been doing well recently."
