Strongest Worker

"What's new today?" Li Zhi played with his car key and paced slowly on the path.

"The owner sent his wife to the hospital today for labor." a servant followed Li Zhi in a low voice.

"It's going to be born so soon..." Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and his face was a little strange. "What else? That's all?"

"And... Oh, by the way, an old man came today and talked with the owner in the study for a long time. In order to see him, the owner even postponed the matter of Gangbei Bay."

Li Zhi said, "old man? How old are you? What are you doing?"

The servant hesitated: "I don't know, but he looks like a hick in his 60s and 70s. The owner left him and now lives in the guest room in the East."

"It's fresh..." Li Zhi stood there thinking for a moment and pulled his tie. "Let's go and show me."

"Housekeeper, this... Is not very good. If the owner knows, he will be angry."

"Do you know I'm the housekeeper?" Li Zhi turned his head and picked his eyebrows. "There are distinguished guests at home. It's always a loss of etiquette for me to see them. Look where I've been? It's not far from the East guest room. I can't walk around in the past?"

The servant didn't dare to say anything more. Li Zhi threw the car key to the bodyguard, and then strode towards the guest room.

After a while, he came to the door. Li Zhi squeezed out a smile from the corners of his mouth and knocked on the door.

Waiting for a moment, the door gently opened, revealing a wrinkled cheek from the door: "you are..."

"Hello, sir." Li Zhi said with a smile, "I'm the housekeeper of the Li family and the cousin of the owner Li Qing. I heard that distinguished guests are coming, so I came to visit."

"Oh, no need to visit. I want to go to bed early."

Li Zhi's body stagnated, but he still kept a gentle smile on his face: "old Sir, I wonder if you can let me into the house for a talk? It won't take much time to say a few words and go, which won't delay your rest."

"Since this is your Li family, please help yourself." the old man's voice was hoarse and gave way to the door.

"You wait outside." Li Zhi turned and ordered, then walked into the room with a smile on his face.

When the two young men squatting in the dark to monitor the room saw this scene, they immediately turned pale and winked at each other. One of them sneaked out and ran to inform Fang Yong of the news.

When Fang Yong got the news, he didn't hesitate to call Li Qing directly.

When Fang Yong called, Li Qinggang just left the study and was going to take a bath first, and then send Zhao Qili to Xie's house.

"I see. I'll be right there." Li Qing hung up the phone with a gloomy face, temporarily changed his plan and walked directly to the East guest room.

In order to speed up, Li Qing chose to drive.

A few minutes later, the car arrived outside the East guest room, and Li Qing turned off and got off. When the bodyguard at the door saw Li Qing, he immediately turned green and deliberately raised his voice: "home master!"

"HMM." Li Qing nodded, "is Li Zhi in there?"

"Uh... Yes."

"Great." Li Qing directly pushed the door and went in. Li Shizheng looked flustered, stood up from the sofa and said with a dry smile: "cousin, why are you here?"

Li Qing stared at the calm old man sitting opposite Li Shi, and then turned his eyes to Li Shi: "I heard you are very interested in me?"

"You misunderstood." Li Zhi regained his composure. "After all, I'm the housekeeper of the Li family. Of course I have guests to entertain you. I just talked with Mr. Zhao for a while..."

Li Qing waved her hand and interrupted Li Zhi's words: "you go out."

"Ah?" Li Zhi was slightly stunned.

"Get out!" Li Qing drank in a deep voice. He was so frightened that he quickly put down his cup and staggered out.

The old man smiled sarcastically at the corners of his mouth: "I didn't expect you to have a lot of tolerance, so let him go?"

Li Qing stood there, staring coldly at the old man opposite: "what did you say to him?"

"What if I say something I shouldn't say."

"Then you won't have such comfortable preferential treatment." Li Qing turned and looked at the door. "I also want to re-examine whether I need to keep him."

His face was slightly stiff, and he was silent for a moment. The old man whispered, "I didn't say anything."

"Very good." Li Qing nodded, "we're leaving."

"Where are you going?"

"Send you to Xie's house." Li Qing replied faintly, "Xie's master should be ready. You should stay there more safely."

The old man looked slightly changed: "Li Qing, do you really think so?"

"Yes, you can rest assured that I won't let her mess."

After a moment of silence, the old man leaned down and pulled out his snake skin pocket from under the tea table. Li Qing thought he was going to take things with him, so he turned and walked outside the door, but suddenly heard the other party shout, "wait!"

"What else?" Li Qing turned around again, his tone was not as kind as before.

"I have another thing for you." the old man laughed, and his words showed some helpless meaning. "It was entrusted by others, but now it has become a life talisman. It's really funny."

Li Qing raised her eyebrows slightly and stood quietly in place without talking, but her eyes revealed deep doubts.

The old man took it out of his snake skin pocket. Finally, he turned out a palm sized mahogany box and handed it to Li Qing: "this is yours."

Li Qing stepped back and leaned over to pick up the box from the old man. He hesitated a little before slowly opening it.

Two platinum pairs of rings are quietly placed in the box, and the huge diamonds are particularly dazzling in the light.

"This is..." Li Qing stared round in amazement and stared at the old man in front of him without blinking. "What does this mean?"

"I didn't send it." the old man lowered his eyes. "My elder martial brother, Huo Yi. I wish you and Miss Lin grow old together and get married forever."

Li Qing held the palm of the box and trembled slightly, and then the whole person froze there.

The old man sighed gently: "elder martial brother grew up with me since childhood, but he has no talent and initiative, so he hasn't made great progress in Kung Fu. With his temperament... I really didn't expect that he will have a woman he likes in his life."

"At the beginning of that action, I found elder martial brother. He has opened many big tombs in Guannan in the past two years. He should have known that he would die, so he entrusted it to me in advance. If he died, this gift must be delivered before you and Miss Lin get married. In fact, I should have given it to you long ago. It's just selfish. I think it can be delayed for a while. Maybe what It may be time to rely on this friendship to save your life. Now it seems that you really can't keep it. "

Li Qing only felt that if the thing on his hand weighed a thousand kilograms, his body trembled gently: "Huo Yi... How did he die?"

"Elder martial brother wanted to save me, but he ran into an old gun that turned back to seek revenge. A hand grenade collapsed the stone path, and both of them were buried below."

After a long silence, Li Qing buttoned up the mahogany box with a low voice: "I believe it now. You are Zhao Qili. Don't worry, even if I can't help you, I won't let anyone hurt you."

"So best."

Li Qing took a deep breath, turned and walked out: "I'll wait for you in the car outside."

Two hours later, Xie's residence.

"You all go down and close the door." Xie Yuyan waved and drove the servants out of the house, then stretched out a green jade finger and ordered the opposite chair, "sit down."

Li Qing nodded at Zhao Qili and sat down in his chair. Seeing that Xie Yuyan was still wrapped in a thin blanket in midsummer, he couldn't help asking, "haven't you recovered from your cold?"

"This is not something you should care about." Xie YuYan's voice reproached, "I asked you to come back late at night, but you promised. It's just past ten o'clock now, Li Qing. Can you be more serious?"

"I'm in a mess. I can't wait any longer." Li Qingmu said, "and I always think you should have some news to tell me here."

"There is some news." Xie Yuyan nodded gently, but his eyes were poured on Zhao Qili opposite, "but first I have to make sure that what he said is true."

Li Qing said, "I'm sure he's Zhao Qili. In the previous conversation, he mentioned some private affairs..."

"I'm sorry. It's not just for you. I don't believe anyone." Xie Yuyan shook his head at Li Qing. "In fact, it's easy to prove it. Since your body has symptoms of premature aging, we just have to wait a day or two to see if it will continue to deteriorate."

Zhao Qili said, "it's really not difficult, but I hope that what Lord Xie does is not just to prove the truth. For me, every day is very precious."

"This is nature." Xie YuYan's beautiful eyes blinked and glanced at the wall clock, "I have contacted the best doctor and will arrive with medical equipment in two hours. He will have a comprehensive physical examination of you and judge your symptoms. If necessary, I will arrange for you to go to a safer place, but it also depends on the specific situation and your wishes."

Li Qing said: "rain smoke, if his symptoms are caused by... That kind of factor, will modern medicine not be applicable."

"What do you mean by that factor?" Xie Yuyan glanced at Li Qing gently, and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes. "Now you also begin to believe in ghosts and gods?"

"I don't, I just think the current science..."

"Are you guilty of doing too many things? Are you afraid of being punished by heaven?"

"I just think there are some unexplainable phenomena in current science," Li Qing said helplessly.

Xie Yuyan chuckled: "you think science can't explain because you know too little."
