The car drove out of Mu's door, through the siege of media reporters, and sped towards Zhonghai hospital.

"Hurry up." Mu rou'er urged the driver, turned her head and looked at Li Qing sitting beside her. Her eyes were dull, looked at Li Qing outside the window, pursed her mouth and gently took his hand.

"Don't worry, it will be all right." Mu rou'er comforted softly.

Li Qing slowly breathed out: "for so many years, I don't know whether to respect him or hate him."

Then there was a long silence.

As early as a few months ago, Li Qizhi's body had a tendency to deteriorate. Later, he experienced the pain of losing his son, exhausted, and his energy and spirit had been completely dried up. This time, his critical illness was indeed expected. But Li Qing still didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

He leaned quietly against the window and stared at the buildings flying away from the window. He felt that all these years were like a picture of a Zhen Zhen, but also far away from himself. No matter how much effort you make, you will never make up for it.

The car stopped at the gate of Zhonghai hospital. Mu rouer pulled Li Qing out of the car: "you come down!"

The Li family, who had been guarding the door for a long time, hurried up: "young master, you are finally here."

After calming his mind, Li Qing's face eased a lot. He asked in a deep voice, "how about it?"

Several Li family members stagnated: "young master, go in and have a look."

Li Qing's heart sank completely.

The spacious corridor of Zhonghai hospital was almost filled by the Li family. Li Qing went inward and mu rouer followed closely behind. The Li family moved to both sides to make way for the two people.

Li Shiyi, who was guarding at the door of the ward, turned and saw Li Qing. He strode over: "cousin..."

Li Qing waved his hand: "I already know."

Li Shizhang opened his mouth, didn't speak again, and dodged aside.

Opening the door, Li Qing stepped into the luxury ward and saw Li Qizhi lying in bed with pipes all over.

"Grandpa." Mu rouer first ran over and hugged Li Qizhi's dry palm with tears in her eyes. Mu and Li have always been friends. Due to Li Qing's relationship, mu rouer has always regarded Li Qizhi as her own grandfather. Naturally, her feelings are quite deep.

Slowly leaning his head, Li Qizhi saw Li Qing and mu rouer. A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He opened his mouth to talk, but he couldn't speak because of the pipe in his mouth.

The doctor holding the medical record book in his hand came up to Li Qing and said tremblingly: "Li's whole body organs have suffered varying degrees of failure, serious cardiopulmonary insufficiency, and treatment is very difficult."

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Qing raised his hand and asked in a deep voice, "is there any help?"

The doctor's face changed slightly: "young master Li, this is the natural aging of human organs with age. In addition, the leader of the Li family has suffered a great spiritual blow..."

"I ask you if you can save it!" Li Qing's cheek was cold for a moment.

The doctor's legs began to tremble: "at this time, the treatment has no effect. We can only try our best to prolong the life of Master Li with drugs and medical devices."

After a moment of silence, Li Qing asked, "how long can it last?"

"It depends on Mr. Li's own willpower, a few hours, a day, or two days." the doctor can't say it at all. He knows that as long as a pair of patient's family members use the word "personal will", it basically belongs to the category of powerlessness.

Li Qing is not a fool. The doctors around him are afraid of the power of the Li family and speak as gently as possible. The real meaning is that Li Qizhi is hopeless and can live one more second.

He slowly closed his eyes. Li Qing looked up. After a while, he gently breathed out: "give up the treatment."

"Ah?" the doctor stared round and couldn't believe what he heard.

"I said, give up treatment." Li Qing opened her eyes, stared at Li Qizhi and said in a deep voice, "our Li family's owner, come with dignity and go with dignity. We can't die so ugly."

On the hospital bed, Li Qizhi nodded hard. His dry palm trembled and gave Li Qing a thumbs up.

"Ah, good." the doctor nodded quickly and took the nurse to withdraw all the medical equipment.

With the departure of doctors and nurses, the spacious and luxurious intensive care unit suddenly became empty and cold.

Li Qing covered the quilt for Li Qizhi, and then sat down beside him: "tell me what you can't let go."

Li Qizhi's Adam's apple rolled: "Qing'er, you won."

"I just didn't lose." Li Qing responded faintly.

He stretched out his dry palm and scratched in the air. Finally, Li Qizhi firmly clasped Li Qing's hand and widened his eyes: "I'll give you the Li family. You must promise me to keep this family business and reproduce the glory of that year."

Glancing at the corners of his mouth, Li Qing slowly pulled his hand back: "only this can't do. I'm not interested in your so-called family business."

Li Qizhi coughed twice and looked stunned: "you... You still hate me?"

"Yes, I still hate you." Li Qing said coldly, "my parents died strangely. I have been wandering for ten years, but you turned a deaf ear and stood by. Why don't you let me hate you?"

"I used you and the Li family. I came back to rob the position of the Li family, but I just wanted to deal with the Chen family. From beginning to end, I lied to you. I won't inherit the family business and be the owner of the Li family. I wish the cold and ruthless place of the Li family would die out earlier!"

Trembling fingers pointed to Li Qing. Li Qizhi couldn't believe what he heard: "you tell me, you tell me... Rou er..."

Li Qing stepped out and said, "rou'er is not pregnant. Even if she has my flesh and blood in the future, she will not be the heir of the Li family. If I want to be a qualified father, I will not put this cruel and abnormal yoke on my children!"

"You! You! You're so angry with me!" Li Qizhi vomited a big mouthful of blood, and the head of the bed was scarlet.

Mu rouer's pretty face suddenly changed color. She quickly grabbed Li Qizhi's palm like an eagle's claw and said with red circles under her eyes, "Grandpa, he lied to you. For so many years, Li Qing has always had a resentment in her heart. You don't know."

"Then he said... He said you..."

Mu rouer smiled on her pretty cheek: "don't listen to his nonsense. The child in my belly is almost five months old. I can see it in a few days. I just had an examination two days ago. The little guy is very healthy and seems to be a boy. When I give birth to the child, if the bastard dares not to recognize him, I can't spare him."

"Grandpa, don't worry. Li Qing told me last night that he would take good care of the foundation of the Li family and let you rest assured. I'm the young lady of the Li family. How can I be fooled by him."

Li Qizhi nodded, stared round at Li Qing, and exaggerated his mouth: "Qing'er, Qing'er, didn't you lie to me?"

"Li Qing, grandpa is in poor health. You are a younger generation, so don't be angry here." Mu rouer raised her small head and looked at Li Qing.

The atmosphere in the room was deadlocked for a while. Li Qing suddenly smiled and bent down to hold Li Qizhi's hand: "Grandpa, I was just joking with you. Give me the Li family. You can rest assured."

"That's good, that's good..." Li Qizhi said on his face, "give you my family property, and I can go at ease."

There was a satisfied smile on the withered and yellow cheeks. The dry palm slipped from Li Qing's hand, and Li Qizhi died.

The leader of the Li family passed away.

Li Qing raised her head and blinked, forced her tears back, turned around, pushed open the door of the ward and walked out.

The Li family poured in like a tide, and the sound of crying was so sad that they couldn't bear to hear it.

"Cousin." Li Zhi came to Li Qing's side and wanted to stop talking.

"Make arrangements for the future." Li Qing whispered, "it's a time of trouble near Hong Kong. Be careful. It's a great blow to us at this critical time. I'll go back to Li's house to preside over the overall situation immediately."

"OK." Li Zhi nodded heavily. Both of them knew that Li Qizhi's death at this time would add wind and frost to the already shaky Li family. They didn't even have sad Kung Fu and had to take action immediately.

The crisis was not alleviated by the demise of the Chen family, but made the atmosphere near the port more tense.

Li Qing drove mu rouer back to Li's house. Half an hour later, the media reporters who got the news surrounded Zhonghai hospital again.

First, Chen Hongming got married, then the Chen family collapsed, and then the Li family died. One explosive news after another scrambled to grab the front page headlines of major newspapers.

Considering that he is in an extraordinary period, Li Qizhi's funeral will be held three days later.

The Li family has kept a low profile as much as possible, but the funeral scene is still beyond everyone's expectation. Almost all the important people in Lingang are present, and there are thousands of people in the streets. It seems that they intend to support the Li family.

Dressed in black, Li Qing welcomed batch after batch of mourning guests at the door. From morning to night, the expression on his face was completely numb.

Qi Yiping, the leader of the Qi family, Xie Yuyan, the leader of the Xie family, and Zhong Ruoxi, the director of the port supervision department, were all present. Even the chief executive near Hong Kong sent his personal assistant as a representative to offer condolences. In addition to these big people who hold the power near the port, there are countless other dignitaries, almost killing all the high-level near the port.

"You go in and have a rest. Meixin is inside and let her accompany you." Li Qing turned her head, stared at mu rouer's pale cheeks and said softly.

Mu rou'er nodded slightly, turned back and didn't say much.

Li Qing looked up at the dark sky and sighed gently.
