black under lights

After Li Xueying and Li Li returned home, it was getting late.When Li Que came home, he was watching TV, and when he asked about it, the siblings only said that they had eaten together outside, and they brought back packed meals for Li Que.

Then they looked at each other speechlessly, and the two went back to their rooms.Regarding what happened today, the two tacitly kept silent.

Li Xueying didn't mention Feng Qing, and Li Li didn't mention Xin Mo either.

Under the seemingly peaceful scenery, the days continued to be turbulent.

Regarding the series of events, Li Xueying finally couldn't just sit back and watch. He always felt that something was about to happen, but Li Que always only regarded him and Li Li as children, and never mentioned the current situation.

That day Li Que came back late, obviously after the dinner party, he was a little drunk, but he was in a good mood, listening to Kunqu opera in the living room and humming along.

Li Xueying came to Li Que's side, pretended to watch the TV seriously, and then spoke to Li Que.

His father has been a policeman all his life, and the Police Department is his second home.Li Que is a workaholic and knows a lot about things other than work.Therefore, whether it is politics, economics, or life and entertainment, Li Xueying and his father can not find many common topics.

The two chatted with each other for a while, Li Li went into the kitchen to make pear soup, and then Li Xueying leaned against Li Que.

"Father, I know that you work hard outside and have many tasks to do. My mother passed away early. It is really not easy to bring us up with you alone." Li Xueying said sincerely.

At first, Li Que just listened silently, taking a sip of tea occasionally.It wasn't until Li Xueying mentioned his mother that Li Que's eyes turned red.

"Because of this, you have always had to take care of things alone, and never let my sister and I know. Now, seeing that my sister is about to graduate, I am also an adult. I think we can support each other like a real family. Troubled, you can also talk to me and my sister..." Li Xueying said sincerely, and reached out to hold the back of Li Que's hand, "What do you think, Dad?"

Li Que wiped his red eyes and nodded again and again: "Yes, you all grow up, and these years will pass in the blink of an eye. I am actually very pleased."

Li Xueying pursed her lips. His conversation this time was not for the sake of family affection: "So Dad, my sister and I should also have the right to know about some things. There are too many things to stay alone for too long, people will be tired, would be overwhelmed."

There was obviously something in these words, Li Que immediately looked at Li Xueying suspiciously: "What do you want to ask?"

Li Xueying was silent for a moment, then moved a little in Li Que's direction, and took his hand with both hands instead: "Abba, what happened to Feng Qing, what has he got to do with your past?"

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Li Que stood up suddenly, swung him away with his hands, his expression changed drastically, obviously very touched.

"What did you ask him for?" Li Que was no longer as happy as when he just came back, his face was full of clouds, "Are you fooling around with someone outside again?"

Li Xueying also stood up and took a big step closer to Li Que: "Everything I said was sincere, and I asked you this because the previous incident was too unusual."

"Why is it unusual? It's an adult's business, why do you care so much about your child? Go back to your room and sleep!" Li Que asked sternly.

Li Li, who was in the kitchen, heard the movement and had already come out at this moment. When the father and son quarreled, she hurried forward to be a peacemaker.

Li Xueying was also in a moment of brain fever, and immediately pointed to Li Li: "Father, do you know that Feng Qing is after my sister? Last time you came to see him, he was hostile to you. Who is he? The boss of Kowloon City , the business under his command is definitely not a clean business. If the police chief had the ability to get rid of him, he would not have waited until today. Ever since I saw him, something was wrong. During this time, you have no energy, and you are often unhappy. My sister and I both You can see it. We are no longer children, and some things are clearly analyzed, which is really worrying. Why can't you tell us?"

Li Xueying seldom said such a long series of words in one breath, and she seemed really agitated.Li Li who was standing next to her knew her younger brother and her father best, so she immediately stepped forward to distance Li Xueying: "My younger brother, why are you yelling at me like this with my father? Is there anything you can't talk about calmly?"

However, she was also panicking at this time, Li Que knew about Feng Qing's matter, and she didn't know how to react.

"Sister! I'm really worried. Dad may have an accident, do you know? He doesn't tell us a word, how can we help?"

"I don't need your help with my affairs!" Li Que was completely angry at the other end, kicking over the small wooden stool next to the sofa, "You can tell me clearly, what happened to Feng Qing and your sister?"

Li Xueying never expected that he had been planning this conversation for a long time, but in the end he messed it up.

It was he who underestimated Li Que's sensitivity to the name Feng Qing, as well as his father's inner resistance and defense.

Li Que finally refused to open his heart to their siblings.

Li Xueying couldn't figure out this layer of joints no matter what.

He couldn't figure out why Li Que was so afraid of Feng Qing. If there was really a gap between the two back then...then how big a gap was it that his father refused to tell him what happened?

I remembered that Xin Mo had mentioned before that Feng Qing had enemies in Whitehall.

The more Li Xueying thought about it, the more she felt that the enemy was indeed Li Que.

This guess made him both surprised and unbelievable.

The conversation just now ended unhappily, Dad went out to buy cigarettes, and Li Xueying also wanted to be alone.Li Li is in the room, temporarily fine.

He walked on the lawn downstairs, unknowingly circled the building several times without knowing it, looked up at the huge white moon, and suddenly missed Xin Mo very much in his heart.

You can't trouble Xin Mo with everything, he thought.He also has to make some decisions.

Since Abba couldn't speak, he could always get some news from someone.

Thinking of this, Li Xueying couldn't wait for a moment, rushed upstairs, grabbed her cell phone, and talked with Ji Yao.

It rang several times over there before answering, and there was an echo when I spoke.

"Uncle Ji, is it convenient for you to speak?"

"It's not convenient." Ji Yao replied straightforwardly, "Uncle Ji, I'm taking a shower, so it's time for you to call."

Li Xueying didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Uncle Ji, please flush the foam first, I have something important to ask for help."

Ten minutes later, Ji Yao called Li Xueying back.

"What's the matter, young boy?"

Li Xueying heard the sound of the fire scythe over there, and knew that Ji Yao was going to smoke at the moment, so he really had time to spare.

"Uncle Ji, I would like to ask you to make an appointment with Chief Inspector Xing Shihuai for me."

There was a cough immediately, obviously choking on smoke from being shocked.

"Are you asking Xing Shihuai, Inspector Zonghua?" The voice almost came out of his nose, "Do you think the Police Department is playing tricks? Inspector Zonghua, you can meet whenever you want?"

"I only saw him for 10 minutes."

"Inspector Zonghua is busy every minute, even your old man can't see people every time. You are a fledgling brat, what do you do when you see Xing Shihuai?" Ji Yao on the other end of the phone was incomprehensible, "You give I have a reasonable reason, and I'll see if I can help you."

"If I can call you, it means that my father will definitely not get through. This matter is related to my father. Uncle Ji, do you still remember Feng Qing that I mentioned to you last time?"

Ji Yao lit a cigarette over there, stood up, and said in a serious tone: "You want to mention Feng Qing with Xing Shihuai? I advise you to close it, the area above our ICAC that is not allowed to be touched for the time being, you are like a tiger pulling out hair."

"I understand, you can rest assured that I have a sense of propriety, I just inquired about something for my father."

It took a long time to sigh over there: "I didn't say, well, even if your reason is half valid, I may not really be able to help you find someone."

"Just tell him that I sincerely want to ask you something, and ask him if he wants to sell you face."

"You have a good idea. You don't need to pull your old man out to do the job, but you are selling my face, huh?" Ji Yao groaned on the other end of the phone, the boss was reluctant.

"It's a big deal, I'll treat you to some more milk tea, Uncle, please help me." Li Xueying heard that Ji Yao's words were no longer so strong, and took the opportunity to say, "It's still mandarin ducks, coffee, or red bean ice. Uncle Ji, I'll take any of them. Please."

"Shut up, I'll lose ten years of life when you open your mouth. Obediently wait for my call!" Ji Yao said this angrily, and immediately hung up the phone.

Li Xueying laughed.

He does have an inexplicable closeness to Ji Yao, as if he was born with it.Maybe it's because he is also born with an awe-inspiring aura of impartiality and law enforcement, which is always convincing.

It's just that sometimes he suspects that if Ji Yao's violent temper is in ICAC, he will interrogate the suspect one day, and the other party will be more patient with his temper.

A week later, the sky was overcast and it was about to rain.

Li Xueying said goodbye to Xin Mo, seeing his motorcycle drifting away, looked at the sky, and there were indeed light raindrops falling.

Still holding the parasol, he opened it slowly, took a taxi at the intersection, and headed for the agreed place.

It wasn't intentional to hide it from Xin Mo, but Xin Mo didn't know what he was busy with recently, coming and going in a hurry.After I mentioned Xing Shihuai to him last time, I don't know what he was planning, so I never mentioned it.

Li Xueying couldn't figure him out, and she didn't want to irritate him.

Ji Yao told him that Xing Shihuai always likes to arrive early when making appointments, so Li Xueying also arrived at the appointed place half an hour earlier today, chose a table and ordered two glasses of warm water.

Within 10 minutes, I saw Xing Shihuai as expected.

After all, Inspector Zonghua, even when he saw a young boy like him, he was dressed very decently and behaved well.

Seeing that Li Xueying arrived earlier than him, Xing Shihuai raised his eyebrows slightly, shook hands with him, and sat down.

"What is Inspector Xing looking for?" Li Xueying asked.

"I thought you and your dad would come together for today's meeting." Xing Shihuai looked away and smiled, "Thank you for giving me some water."

Li Xueying's affection for Chief Detective Xing suddenly increased, and it was even more incompatible with the legendary reputation of collaborating with Feng Qing and the underworld.

It gave him a fresh sense of disobedience, or more of frustration.

"It's true that I'm the only one here today. Thank you Detective Xing for your kindness and willingness to attend the appointment."

"It must have taken a lot of work for you to find Shangji for an inspection. But I really only have 15 minutes for you. Is the kid in any trouble?" Xing Shihuai tried kindly.

Li Xueying lowered her head in thought, pinching the straw on the glass water cup and twisting it, her fingertips were so white that her small movements were so eye-catching.

"Uncle Ji didn't want me to mention this name in front of you, but I came here for this matter. Inspector Xing, if there is any offense, it is definitely not malicious." Li Xueying said.

Xing Shihuai laughed at this moment: "You are young, but you are well-bred. You don't have to be so cautious, I won't have trouble with my younger generation."

Only then did Li Xueying raise her eyes, his expression was calm, and a pair of tea-red eyes fixed on Xing Shihuai, which was absolutely meticulous.

He also stopped his fingers twirling the straw, concentrating on it: "I want to ask Inspector Xing, did Feng Qing, the Hongmen talker, come to you for my father, Li Que?"
