Changfeng Building Materials Co., Ltd.?
If he remembered correctly, after Li Zexi returned to the Li family, he was assigned to take over the affairs of this company.
The hostile relationship between the two is self-evident, how could the other party be willing to send the invitation to his studio?Will you not use your heart?
Li Qing's thoughts turned back and forth, and his expression became more and more indifferent.
Dong Xue didn't know the twists and turns between the Li brothers, so she frowned and said, "President Li, what's wrong?"
"Push it off. This project is involved with the relevant departments. If you are not careful, it may be thankless." Li Qing closed the file and replied.
"But Mr. Li, because this project is related to the government/government department, many design companies and studios are rushing for it!" Dong Xue said incomprehensibly.
Although this kind of project seems to be troublesome and troublesome, once it is completed, not only can you reap generous rewards, but you can also directly build a bridge with high-level projects.
For the development of the studio, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Li Qing has always cared about the development of the studio, and Li's partner can be regarded as his own company.Such cooperation is a great springboard, why not?
"Okay, just listen to me, just push it down." Li Qing raised her eyes, her refusal tone could be regarded as cold.
No matter how good the follow-up impact of this project is, he doesn't want to have anything to do with Li Zexi and the business of his company.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Dong Xue could only nod, "Okay, I'll reply to the email and push it down."
"Ah."
Li Qing responded in a low voice, and a WeChat message was displayed on the phone screen, which was sent by Meng Shu.
——Xiaoqing, today is your second uncle's birthday, and the appointment is at the Shengjia Hotel. As a junior, you can't be late.
Li Qing remembered this incident, and quickly replied with a few words: Mom, I understand, I will go on time.
...
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the car stopped in front of Shengjia Hotel, Li Qing sent a text message to Li Huaishen who was busy with work, and then got out of the car unhurriedly.
Soon, a sharp-eyed waiter greeted him, "Master Li Er, hello."
"Hello."
Just as Li Qing was about to explain his intentions, the other party rushed to answer, "Mr. Li Quanda's birthday party is in Box 8012, and everyone else is already here. Master Li Er, shall I take you there?"
"It's work."
The two went straight to the box, and as soon as the waiter opened the door, the sound of discussion inside came out.
Seeing Li Qing's figure, Meng Shu quickly stood up from her seat, "Xiaoqing, you're here."
Li Qing entered the room and looked around, all of them were familiar faces.
Li Quanda's birthday is not the whole year this year, and he doesn't like extravagance, so today's banquet was not a big deal, only a big box was reserved for the members of Li's family to get together.
"Dad, Mom." Li Qing approached and sat down on the seat, "Second Uncle, I wish you a happy birthday, peace and success."
"Thank you, Second Uncle has received your blessing." Li Quanda still had that calm temperament, with a few warm smiles at the end of his eyes.
He saw three vacant seats beside him, and shook his head helplessly and dotingly, "Your second aunt and two cousins don't take me seriously, they just finished shopping, and now they are rushing to the hotel."
Li Quanda was full of concern for Li Qing, "If you are hungry, I will ask the waiter to bring you something to eat first?"
"It's okay, wait for them to come together." Li Qing replied, and she caught a glimpse of Li Zexi next to her from the corner of her eye.
The other party sat quietly in the position, drinking a sip of tea from time to time.
"It's better to be Arlene. I have two daughters who can go shopping and chat with me. The three sons I have raised are usually busy with work, and they are not willing to go home!"
Looking at the three father and son sitting in rows, Meng Shu felt emotional.
And that kid from Huaishen, who has been so busy since returning to China, he didn't even have time to attend the birthday party!
"How can these be compared together?" Li Guangsheng retorted, "Boys naturally put their career first."
"You have one career at a time! Xiaoqing and Zexi are both grown-up Omegas, and you don't have to worry about other aspects!" Meng Shu said angrily to her husband.
"Are you afraid that our Li family's money is not enough for these children? We have to find the right person and take care of them for the rest of our lives!"
Li Guangsheng had nothing to do with his wife, so he had to say aloud, "For things like fate, let the children figure it out, why worry?"
"Seeing that Huai Shen is about the same age, can I not be in a hurry? Xiaoya entrusted him to me back then, and I have to worry about the future of his child!" Meng Shu couldn't stop thinking about it.
Li Quanda poured a cup of tea for his eldest brother with a smile, and teased, "It seems that my sister-in-law is anxious to become the 'grandmother' in name?"
Seeing that the object of conversation had shifted to 'Li Huaishen', Li Qing smiled a little as she lowered her eyes.
"Mom, you have to ask Xiaoqing about whether elder brother has a partner." Suddenly, Li Zexi, who was in silence, opened his mouth.
Hearing this, Li Qing met the playful eyes of the other party.
"Ask Xiaoqing?" Meng Shu asked curiously, looking back and forth between the two.
"Maybe big brother has a secret date, but he didn't tell your parents for the time being."
Li Zexi smiled superficially, and there was a trace of ulterior motives in his words, "Brother and Xiaoqing are so close, they should know each other well?"
Li Zexi rubbed the rim of the cup and let out a faint laugh, "I've never heard that he has a secret date? But I heard about another thing."
Meng Shu asked, "What?"
"Someone secretly contacted an offshoot of the Li family in Country A, intending to attack him." Li Qing confided in every word, with a gloomy coldness hidden behind the seemingly gentle eyes.
Li Zexi's smile froze for a moment.
"... Someone wants to attack Huai Shen?" Li Guangsheng also attached great importance to this matter.He knew that Li Huaishen had won the trust of Mr. Li and gradually took over the Li family's property, but he didn't expect that there would be danger behind the scenes.
"Dad, don't worry. With the current status of the eldest brother, unless it is those brainless and lifeless waste..." Li Qing glanced at Li Zexi and curled his lips, "Otherwise, no one would dare to do anything casually."
Li Guangsheng didn't notice his youngest son's expression, so he nodded imperceptibly, "It's good to be fine, foreign guns/guns are flooding, after all, it's not as safe as our Huaguo."
"That's right, it's good for the juniors to stay at ease abroad and work on their careers."
Li Quanda continued, skipping the stiff atmosphere just now, and changed the subject, "Xiaoqing, Second Uncle heard that you opened a studio. Is the operation going well?"
Today is the senior's birthday, as a junior, Li Qing must not talk about the 'intrigue'.
Li Qing calmed down her gloomy thoughts and returned to her smile, "Thank you for your concern, my second uncle. The studio is now steadily rising. The competition in the design industry is also strong, so you can't become a fat man by eating it all at once."
"I remember, there is a small-scale building materials group under Li Shi? If you need it, can you try to cooperate?"
Li Quanta looked at his elder brother, seeking approval, "After all, we have resources, so we don't need them for nothing."
Li Guangsheng nodded in agreement, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Xiaoqing, has the invitation for the renovation project of the old city been sent to your studio?"
"Dad, do you know about this project?" Li Qing asked.
"I asked the people under my command to recommend your invitation, how could I not know?" Li Guangsheng replied with a smile, "Your mother always blames me, saying that you have worked hard to start a business by yourself, and as a father, I will not give you any help."
"This project in the old town is good. Your studio only needs to be responsible for the design, and the subsequent renovations will be handled by the subsidiary company. If there are problems, the subsidiary company will take care of them. If there are benefits, you will share..."
Li Guangsheng narrated calmly, obviously he had a thorough understanding of the core of this project, and he had put a lot of thought into it.
Li Qing paused for a few seconds before saying, "I was rejected by my assistant this morning."
"What?" Li Guangsheng was taken aback.
Li Qing glanced at Li Zexi, who was indifferent, and guessed in his heart——
Didn't Li Zexi take over the management of Changfeng Building Materials?With the other party's narrow mind, would he allow an 'outsider' to share the pie?
Could it be that I was wrong at the beginning, this is not Li Zexi's method against him?But Li Guangsheng, as a father, really helped him in his work?
"Xiaoqing, why did you refuse?"
Facing Li Guangsheng's puzzled expression, Li Qing covered her lips and made an excuse, "I heard that Changfeng Subsidiary has been handed over to Zexi for management. If something goes wrong with this project, I'm afraid people will criticize it."
Brothers still have to settle accounts clearly, let alone their pair of fake brothers.
"Xiaoqing, you think too much, Changfeng Company is no longer under my control."
Li Zexi said lightly from the side, "Originally, Dad just wanted me to practice management in Changfeng Company. In the past few months, I have almost learned."
"Well, Zexi has been transferred to the company's headquarters by me." Li Guangsheng didn't hide it, and was very calm about this decision.
The careers of the two children are their own chosen paths.
As a father, he can only give assistance at the right time.
Just like he transferred Li Zexi, whose mentality was gradually stable, to the company headquarters, he was also willing to send the best springboard of design to Li Qing.
Li Guangsheng saw Li Qing's thoughts, and wrote lightly, "This invitation from the subsidiary company has nothing to do with Zexi. You don't need to worry that if there is any trouble in the future, it will affect the outside world's discussion on the relationship between your two brothers."
As an outsider, Li Quanda nodded, "I heard that the old house renovation project in the old city is the top priority of the relevant departments in the last quarter?"
He took a sip of tea, and helped to speak unhurriedly, "If you get this springboard, whether it's a studio or a company, you can gain a certain reputation among the public."
"If you are busy and have no time, just hand it over to the staff under your hand?" Meng Shu didn't know much about this project, so she could only give a compromise suggestion in a soft voice.
"Xiaoqing, this project was specially chosen for you. If the studio doesn't accept it, wouldn't dad's painstaking efforts be in vain?"
Li Qing thought for a while, but finally agreed, "Okay, I understand."
Since this matter has nothing to do with Li Zexi, and Li Guangsheng is someone who will never harm him, for the development of the studio, it is indeed worth picking up.
Li Zexi's eyes flashed unconsciously when he heard the young man's answer.
He noticed Li Quanta's gaze shifting over, and quickly returned to his nonchalant appearance.
The door of the box was opened, and Mrs. Li Er and the two young ladies, who had returned with a full load, arrived late.Li Quanda got up and changed the subject, "You mother and daughter are willing to come?"
"Dad, don't be angry, we bought you a lot of presents." Li Quanda's eldest daughter approached and said affectionately.
"You guys will open your eyes and talk nonsense!" Li Quanda smiled cheerfully, reluctant to reprimand, "Take your seat quickly, don't keep your uncle and his family waiting."
"Okay! Got it."
The mother and daughter sat in their seats, and the banquet began.
……
Two days later, it was Friday.
As soon as Li Qing entered the elevator, he received a call from Li Huaishen, with a little joy on his calm face, "Is Boss Li already busy? Why do you have time to call me?"
"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll pick you up later." Li Huaishen asked.
Although the two have not yet clarified their lovers' identities, they are well aware of each other's feelings.It is their consensus to use limited free time to enjoy being alone.
"I'm going out now, and I won't go back to the company after I finish my work in the afternoon." Li Qing glanced at the time.
"What are you doing when you go out?"
"There is a design project, I want to go to see the venue in person." Li Qing told the truth.This project was specially prepared for him by Li Guangsheng, he didn't want to pretend to others.
The elevator door opened, and Li Qing looked up and saw the project leader of the subsidiary.The latter came up and was about to introduce, "Second Young Master, my name is Wang Zihang, and I am..."
Li Qing raised his hand to interrupt him, lowered his voice and said to the man on the phone, "I want to eat your cooking for dinner, I will send you the location later, when you are busy, come pick me up?"
"Okay." Li Huaishen heard Wang Zihang's voice, and knew that the young man had business to deal with, so he didn't delay, "You go ahead."
"Ah."
Li Qing hung up the phone and greeted Wang Zihang politely, "Manager Wang, in fact, I can go to the old town alone, you don't have to accompany me personally."
"Second Young Master is out. Mr. Li told me to cooperate with you to complete this project."
Wang Zihang glanced at Li Qing's cell phone, and asked cautiously, "Second Young Master, have someone for dinner?"
"This is my private matter." Li Qing replied.
Seeing his indifferent response, Wang Zihang hastily explained, "Don't get me wrong, it's just that the old city has entered the stage of renovation and many roads have been blocked..."
"If someone picks you up, I'm afraid it's not convenient for the car to drive in."
"I see, I will tell him." Li Qing replied calmly, looking at the car behind him, "Is it your car? Let's stop wasting time and go to the old city."
"Yes." Wang Zihang opened the rear door and politely sent the young man in.
When the car door was closed, Wang Zihang saw the figure in the glass window and took a deep breath.
……
At the same time, Li Huaishen was standing silently in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the simple and deserted office.
The man is nearly 1.9 meters tall, even if he doesn't say a word, he can give people an absolutely terrifying sense of coercion.
The four bodyguards stood on both sides of the door, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts.
It's really strange, the boss was on the phone in a gentle tone just now, but when he hung up the call, he seemed to be a different person.
The four of them looked at each other secretly, but decided to endure the aura silently.
I don't know how long it took before special assistant Wu Si's voice sounded at the door, "Mr. Li, can I come in?"
"Enter."
Wu Si walked in quickly, carrying a document.
He glanced at the bodyguards at the door, and quickly ordered, "Stay at the door, and no one is allowed to come in without the orders of President Li and me."
Wu Si was specially dispatched by Mr. Li to Li Huaishen. He is different from a general work assistant, but can help Li Huaishen investigate and deal with more secret matters.
"Yes!"
Li Huaishen turned around expressionlessly, a cold furrow formed between his brows, and he opened his mouth to ask, "Have you found it?"
"This is the last day's deadline. If I can't find what President Li wants again, I should pack up and leave."
Wu Si replied, handing over the document in his hand, with a straight face, "I found it, and it should be regarded as a major discovery."
Li Huaishen took the document report in his hand and flipped through it page by page, the frost in his eyes that had never melted for thousands of years strengthened again.
He and the young man have calculated thousands of times, and he never thought that he would be related to this person!
Standing in front of the desk, Wu Si couldn't help being amazed when he thought of the truth in the investigation documents—the secrets and sinister calculations of this wealthy family are astonishingly complicated.
After a while, Li Huaishen closed the document with a click, "Are you sure?"
"Yes." Wu Si nodded affirmatively.Ever since Li Huaishen wanted to investigate Li Zexi, he tried his best to dig out the other party's past experience.
I have to say that the other party dealt with it very cleanly, but it's a pity that the number one character who couldn't be dealt with cleanly was left out.
Just as Li Huaishen was about to speak, the phone beside him vibrated.
On the screen, there was a WeChat message from a young man: I'm doing fieldwork in the old town, and it's not easy for cars to drive in here, so you should park at the outermost edge later.
Immediately afterwards, the young man sent a list of the location of the old city.
The moment Li Huaishen saw the address, his pupils shrank suddenly, and an unprecedented premonition of panic arose.
He didn't care about Wu Si next to him, dialed the phone instantly, got up and walked out.
Wu Si sensed something was wrong with his boss, his expression changed, and he walked out, "Mr. Li?"
"Prepare the car! Go to the old town immediately!"
When Li Huaishen heard the shutdown busy tone on the phone, he lost his pride for the first time, and even yelled, "Where are those people who were sent to protect Qingqing before? Get in touch immediately!"
"Yes." Wu Si was at a loss, but his professional instinct still made him quickly respond to Li Huaishen's words, and quickly dialed the phone.
……
On the other side, Li Qing stood under the old house, saw the phone with a black screen, and sighed helplessly——
I was busy dealing with business in the morning, and I forgot to charge my phone. Fortunately, I just sent the man his location in time.
With the opponent's temperament, he would definitely stay at the intersection of the city early.
"Second young master?" Seeing that Li Qing didn't respond, Wang Zihang reminded softly, "The architectural structure of these old houses is similar, so let's go up to this building to have a look?"
"En." Li Qing took back the phone, returned her thoughts to the business, and looked up.
Wet stairs covered with moss, mottled walls with cracks, messy intertwined wires...
Everywhere the line of sight touches, there are countless hidden safety hazards.
No wonder the relevant departments have to spend money to renovate no matter what. Once an accident occurs in this kind of place, it will only bring a whole piece of unrest.
"Go up and have a look." Li Qing took the initiative to take a step.
"Okay." Wang Zihang made a gesture of "please", and let the young man take a step forward, but his eyes wandered slightly to a certain place.
Li Qing didn't shirk, and walked up the stairs slowly.
Wang Zihang followed behind him, silently introducing the old houses in this area, "Second Young Master, there is something you don't know. For seven or eighty years, this area is the most famous area for wealthy people in Sydney."
Being able to own a small four-storey bungalow in that era was a sign of being rich.
"It's just that later, when the city's districts were reformed/reformed, a one-story house was turned into several families. One floor, there are several people living in a family. How can you bear the housing pressure?"
After talking, the two climbed up to the fourth floor.
Wang Zihang panted a few times, and unconsciously glanced towards the corridor.
Due to the renovation project, the residents here have been temporarily evacuated.Li Qing casually walked into a small bungalow on the top floor, feeling some indescribable subtlety in her heart.
"Second young master, every four-storey bungalow here back then had its own 'name', and they were all chosen by literati." Wang Zihang approached the young man and continued to talk.
"Oh?" Li Qing looked at the old town outside the small window, "Then what's the name of this building?"
"Xianyang Building." Wang Zihang introduced, "This is the building on the far side, and the sunset every evening is also the best."
When Li Qing heard the name of this building, a sense of deja vu familiarity emerged spontaneously.
Before he could recall it, the system in his brain sounded a reminder, 【——Ding!Host please pay attention! 】
After the words fell, Li Qing's mind was filled with an all-too-familiar fragment of the original text, about the ending of the original owner.
Li Qing scanned the plot of the original book at a glance, and suddenly realized——
After the original owner was kicked out of Li's house, he could only hide in a rented room and spend his days in a daze.
But fate did not let him go. One night, a fire broke out in the rental building where the original owner lived.
The original owner was choked awake by the thick smoke, and could not open his rusty door, and was finally burned to death in the room!
And the rental house where the fire happened is called 'Xieyang Building'!
The only difference is that the time when the original owner had a fire accident was in the late spring of next year.
Now, how could he skip so many plots of the original book and bump into this accident place ahead of time?
Li Qing's eyes changed, he turned around and walked out, "Manager Wang, I've seen enough, let's go down first."
This project was personally recommended by Li Guangsheng, and Wang Zihang was also the person in charge arranged by the former.
Li Qing always believed in Li Guangsheng's "father"'s love, but he also had to beware of this sudden moment.
Regardless of whether the name of the building is a coincidence or not, he can't risk his own safety!
The moment Li Qing just stepped out of the door, the system in his brain sounded a sharp siren.
【—Host beware!Attention Wang Zihang! 】
Li Qing reacted without thinking, turned sideways abruptly, just caught a glimpse of Wang Zihang's actions out of the corner of his eye.
The other party stood behind him with vicious eyes, raised an injection in his hand, and stabbed it straight at the back of his neck!
If he remembered correctly, after Li Zexi returned to the Li family, he was assigned to take over the affairs of this company.
The hostile relationship between the two is self-evident, how could the other party be willing to send the invitation to his studio?Will you not use your heart?
Li Qing's thoughts turned back and forth, and his expression became more and more indifferent.
Dong Xue didn't know the twists and turns between the Li brothers, so she frowned and said, "President Li, what's wrong?"
"Push it off. This project is involved with the relevant departments. If you are not careful, it may be thankless." Li Qing closed the file and replied.
"But Mr. Li, because this project is related to the government/government department, many design companies and studios are rushing for it!" Dong Xue said incomprehensibly.

"Okay, just listen to me, just push it down." Li Qing raised her eyes, her refusal tone could be regarded as cold.
No matter how good the follow-up impact of this project is, he doesn't want to have anything to do with Li Zexi and the business of his company.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Dong Xue could only nod, "Okay, I'll reply to the email and push it down."
"Ah."
Li Qing responded in a low voice, and a WeChat message was displayed on the phone screen, which was sent by Meng Shu.
——Xiaoqing, today is your second uncle's birthday, and the appointment is at the Shengjia Hotel. As a junior, you can't be late.
Li Qing remembered this incident, and quickly replied with a few words: Mom, I understand, I will go on time.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the car stopped in front of Shengjia Hotel, Li Qing sent a text message to Li Huaishen who was busy with work, and then got out of the car unhurriedly.

"It's work."
The two went straight to the box, and as soon as the waiter opened the door, the sound of discussion inside came out.
Seeing Li Qing's figure, Meng Shu quickly stood up from her seat, "Xiaoqing, you're here."
Li Qing entered the room and looked around, all of them were familiar faces.
Li Quanda's birthday is not the whole year this year, and he doesn't like extravagance, so today's banquet was not a big deal, only a big box was reserved for the members of Li's family to get together.
"Dad, Mom." Li Qing approached and sat down on the seat, "Second Uncle, I wish you a happy birthday, peace and success."
"Thank you, Second Uncle has received your blessing." Li Quanda still had that calm temperament, with a few warm smiles at the end of his eyes.
He saw three vacant seats beside him, and shook his head helplessly and dotingly, "Your second aunt and two cousins don't take me seriously, they just finished shopping, and now they are rushing to the hotel."
Li Quanda was full of concern for Li Qing, "If you are hungry, I will ask the waiter to bring you something to eat first?"
"It's okay, wait for them to come together." Li Qing replied, and she caught a glimpse of Li Zexi next to her from the corner of her eye.

"It's better to be Arlene. I have two daughters who can go shopping and chat with me. The three sons I have raised are usually busy with work, and they are not willing to go home!"
Looking at the three father and son sitting in rows, Meng Shu felt emotional.
And that kid from Huaishen, who has been so busy since returning to China, he didn't even have time to attend the birthday party!
"How can these be compared together?" Li Guangsheng retorted, "Boys naturally put their career first."
"You have one career at a time! Xiaoqing and Zexi are both grown-up Omegas, and you don't have to worry about other aspects!" Meng Shu said angrily to her husband.

"Dad, do you know about this project?" Li Qing asked.

As an outsider, Li Quanda nodded, "I heard that the old house renovation project in the old city is the top priority of the relevant departments in the last quarter?"
He took a sip of tea, and helped to speak unhurriedly, "If you get this springboard, whether it's a studio or a company, you can gain a certain reputation among the public."
"If you are busy and have no time, just hand it over to the staff under your hand?" Meng Shu didn't know much about this project, so she could only give a compromise suggestion in a soft voice.
"Xiaoqing, this project was specially chosen for you. If the studio doesn't accept it, wouldn't dad's painstaking efforts be in vain?"
Li Qing thought for a while, but finally agreed, "Okay, I understand."
Since this matter has nothing to do with Li Zexi, and Li Guangsheng is someone who will never harm him, for the development of the studio, it is indeed worth picking up.
Li Zexi's eyes flashed unconsciously when he heard the young man's answer.
He noticed Li Quanta's gaze shifting over, and quickly returned to his nonchalant appearance.
The door of the box was opened, and Mrs. Li Er and the two young ladies, who had returned with a full load, arrived late.Li Quanda got up and changed the subject, "You mother and daughter are willing to come?"
"Dad, don't be angry, we bought you a lot of presents." Li Quanda's eldest daughter approached and said affectionately.
"You guys will open your eyes and talk nonsense!" Li Quanda smiled cheerfully, reluctant to reprimand, "Take your seat quickly, don't keep your uncle and his family waiting."
"Okay! Got it."
The mother and daughter sat in their seats, and the banquet began.
……
Two days later, it was Friday.
As soon as Li Qing entered the elevator, he received a call from Li Huaishen, with a little joy on his calm face, "Is Boss Li already busy? Why do you have time to call me?"
"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll pick you up later." Li Huaishen asked.
Although the two have not yet clarified their lovers' identities, they are well aware of each other's feelings.It is their consensus to use limited free time to enjoy being alone.
"I'm going out now, and I won't go back to the company after I finish my work in the afternoon." Li Qing glanced at the time.
"What are you doing when you go out?"
"There is a design project, I want to go to see the venue in person." Li Qing told the truth.This project was specially prepared for him by Li Guangsheng, he didn't want to pretend to others.
The elevator door opened, and Li Qing looked up and saw the project leader of the subsidiary.The latter came up and was about to introduce, "Second Young Master, my name is Wang Zihang, and I am..."
Li Qing raised his hand to interrupt him, lowered his voice and said to the man on the phone, "I want to eat your cooking for dinner, I will send you the location later, when you are busy, come pick me up?"
"Okay." Li Huaishen heard Wang Zihang's voice, and knew that the young man had business to deal with, so he didn't delay, "You go ahead."
"Ah."
Li Qing hung up the phone and greeted Wang Zihang politely, "Manager Wang, in fact, I can go to the old town alone, you don't have to accompany me personally."
"Second Young Master is out. Mr. Li told me to cooperate with you to complete this project."
Wang Zihang glanced at Li Qing's cell phone, and asked cautiously, "Second Young Master, have someone for dinner?"
"This is my private matter." Li Qing replied.
Seeing his indifferent response, Wang Zihang hastily explained, "Don't get me wrong, it's just that the old city has entered the stage of renovation and many roads have been blocked..."
"If someone picks you up, I'm afraid it's not convenient for the car to drive in."
"I see, I will tell him." Li Qing replied calmly, looking at the car behind him, "Is it your car? Let's stop wasting time and go to the old city."
"Yes." Wang Zihang opened the rear door and politely sent the young man in.
When the car door was closed, Wang Zihang saw the figure in the glass window and took a deep breath.
……
At the same time, Li Huaishen was standing silently in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the simple and deserted office.
The man is nearly 1.9 meters tall, even if he doesn't say a word, he can give people an absolutely terrifying sense of coercion.
The four bodyguards stood on both sides of the door, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts.
It's really strange, the boss was on the phone in a gentle tone just now, but when he hung up the call, he seemed to be a different person.
The four of them looked at each other secretly, but decided to endure the aura silently.
I don't know how long it took before special assistant Wu Si's voice sounded at the door, "Mr. Li, can I come in?"
"Enter."
Wu Si walked in quickly, carrying a document.
He glanced at the bodyguards at the door, and quickly ordered, "Stay at the door, and no one is allowed to come in without the orders of President Li and me."
Wu Si was specially dispatched by Mr. Li to Li Huaishen. He is different from a general work assistant, but can help Li Huaishen investigate and deal with more secret matters.
"Yes!"
Li Huaishen turned around expressionlessly, a cold furrow formed between his brows, and he opened his mouth to ask, "Have you found it?"
"This is the last day's deadline. If I can't find what President Li wants again, I should pack up and leave."
Wu Si replied, handing over the document in his hand, with a straight face, "I found it, and it should be regarded as a major discovery."
Li Huaishen took the document report in his hand and flipped through it page by page, the frost in his eyes that had never melted for thousands of years strengthened again.
He and the young man have calculated thousands of times, and he never thought that he would be related to this person!
Standing in front of the desk, Wu Si couldn't help being amazed when he thought of the truth in the investigation documents—the secrets and sinister calculations of this wealthy family are astonishingly complicated.
After a while, Li Huaishen closed the document with a click, "Are you sure?"
"Yes." Wu Si nodded affirmatively.Ever since Li Huaishen wanted to investigate Li Zexi, he tried his best to dig out the other party's past experience.
I have to say that the other party dealt with it very cleanly, but it's a pity that the number one character who couldn't be dealt with cleanly was left out.
Just as Li Huaishen was about to speak, the phone beside him vibrated.
On the screen, there was a WeChat message from a young man: I'm doing fieldwork in the old town, and it's not easy for cars to drive in here, so you should park at the outermost edge later.
Immediately afterwards, the young man sent a list of the location of the old city.
The moment Li Huaishen saw the address, his pupils shrank suddenly, and an unprecedented premonition of panic arose.
He didn't care about Wu Si next to him, dialed the phone instantly, got up and walked out.
Wu Si sensed something was wrong with his boss, his expression changed, and he walked out, "Mr. Li?"
"Prepare the car! Go to the old town immediately!"
When Li Huaishen heard the shutdown busy tone on the phone, he lost his pride for the first time, and even yelled, "Where are those people who were sent to protect Qingqing before? Get in touch immediately!"
"Yes." Wu Si was at a loss, but his professional instinct still made him quickly respond to Li Huaishen's words, and quickly dialed the phone.
……
On the other side, Li Qing stood under the old house, saw the phone with a black screen, and sighed helplessly——
I was busy dealing with business in the morning, and I forgot to charge my phone. Fortunately, I just sent the man his location in time.
With the opponent's temperament, he would definitely stay at the intersection of the city early.
"Second young master?" Seeing that Li Qing didn't respond, Wang Zihang reminded softly, "The architectural structure of these old houses is similar, so let's go up to this building to have a look?"
"En." Li Qing took back the phone, returned her thoughts to the business, and looked up.
Wet stairs covered with moss, mottled walls with cracks, messy intertwined wires...
Everywhere the line of sight touches, there are countless hidden safety hazards.
No wonder the relevant departments have to spend money to renovate no matter what. Once an accident occurs in this kind of place, it will only bring a whole piece of unrest.
"Go up and have a look." Li Qing took the initiative to take a step.
"Okay." Wang Zihang made a gesture of "please", and let the young man take a step forward, but his eyes wandered slightly to a certain place.
Li Qing didn't shirk, and walked up the stairs slowly.
Wang Zihang followed behind him, silently introducing the old houses in this area, "Second Young Master, there is something you don't know. For seven or eighty years, this area is the most famous area for wealthy people in Sydney."
Being able to own a small four-storey bungalow in that era was a sign of being rich.
"It's just that later, when the city's districts were reformed/reformed, a one-story house was turned into several families. One floor, there are several people living in a family. How can you bear the housing pressure?"
After talking, the two climbed up to the fourth floor.
Wang Zihang panted a few times, and unconsciously glanced towards the corridor.
Due to the renovation project, the residents here have been temporarily evacuated.Li Qing casually walked into a small bungalow on the top floor, feeling some indescribable subtlety in her heart.
"Second young master, every four-storey bungalow here back then had its own 'name', and they were all chosen by literati." Wang Zihang approached the young man and continued to talk.
"Oh?" Li Qing looked at the old town outside the small window, "Then what's the name of this building?"
"Xianyang Building." Wang Zihang introduced, "This is the building on the far side, and the sunset every evening is also the best."
When Li Qing heard the name of this building, a sense of deja vu familiarity emerged spontaneously.
Before he could recall it, the system in his brain sounded a reminder, 【——Ding!Host please pay attention! 】
After the words fell, Li Qing's mind was filled with an all-too-familiar fragment of the original text, about the ending of the original owner.
Li Qing scanned the plot of the original book at a glance, and suddenly realized——
After the original owner was kicked out of Li's house, he could only hide in a rented room and spend his days in a daze.
But fate did not let him go. One night, a fire broke out in the rental building where the original owner lived.
The original owner was choked awake by the thick smoke, and could not open his rusty door, and was finally burned to death in the room!
And the rental house where the fire happened is called 'Xieyang Building'!
The only difference is that the time when the original owner had a fire accident was in the late spring of next year.
Now, how could he skip so many plots of the original book and bump into this accident place ahead of time?
Li Qing's eyes changed, he turned around and walked out, "Manager Wang, I've seen enough, let's go down first."
This project was personally recommended by Li Guangsheng, and Wang Zihang was also the person in charge arranged by the former.
Li Qing always believed in Li Guangsheng's "father"'s love, but he also had to beware of this sudden moment.
Regardless of whether the name of the building is a coincidence or not, he can't risk his own safety!
The moment Li Qing just stepped out of the door, the system in his brain sounded a sharp siren.
【—Host beware!Attention Wang Zihang! 】
Li Qing reacted without thinking, turned sideways abruptly, just caught a glimpse of Wang Zihang's actions out of the corner of his eye.
The other party stood behind him with vicious eyes, raised an injection in his hand, and stabbed it straight at the back of his neck!
