Chapter 223 Quit One’s Job
Xia Luobing bent down and picked up the folder on the ground. He patted the dirt and put it back on the desk. He took a step back and smiled, “Director Zhang, are you blaming me?”
The murderer was often cunning and couldn’t be caught. Director Zhang’s anger was really a little ridiculous.
“Catch the murderer in three days, or you’ll get lost!” Director Zhang propped up the table with both hands and scarlet eyes. “Don’t think that I don’t dare to fire you!”
Xia Luobing’s expression turned cold as he stared at the enraged middle-aged man opposite him. His heart surged with anger and he sneered, “I don’t need to wait for three days before I resign.”
After saying that, Xia Luobing turned around and left. Ever since she entered the criminal police industry, no one had ever told her to “scram”.
“Xia Luobing, come back!” Director Zhang’s expression became even uglier as he hysterically roared, “We must capture the murderer within three days!”
As long as that person wasn’t caught, he wouldn’t be able to feel at ease for a day.
“Director Zhang is very forgetful. I have already resigned!” Xia Luobing casually threw out a sentence. She opened the door and walked out. Hearing the crackling sound in the office, she ridiculed the corner of her mouth. As a subordinate of such a person, she would rather go home and look after the child.
Huo Yunqi must be very happy to know that she had resigned.
“Boss, are you really quitting?” Li Xiang looked at Xia Luobing with a pale face and said uneasily, “Are you willing?”
He clearly saw how much Charlotte loved the job.
“It’s been a long time since I took a vacation.” Xia Luobing shrugged her shoulders and smiled relaxedly. “This time, we can have a good rest.”
Li Xiang’s expression changed again and again. He suddenly unb.u.t.toned the police uniform and muttered, “I don’t want to do it anymore! I’m going to die here!”
Ever since Director Zhang took office, he had been trying his best to suppress these loving generals of Director Gao, always throwing some trivial matters to these criminal police to deal with. Ear
“Li Xiang, don’t be rash!” Xia Luobing opened her mouth and said, “You don’t have to resign with me.”
“Boss, anyway, I’m alone. The whole family isn’t hungry.” Li Xiang threw the police uniform on the table and smiled. “Besides, according to my physique, it shouldn’t be a problem to be a bodyguard for President Huo, right?”
Xia Luobing couldn’t help but smile bitterly, but seeing Li Xiang’s determined expression, she smiled and said, “Have you really thought it through?”
Li Xiang nodded seriously, “Of course!”
“Alright!” Xia Luobing’s eyes were burning and she patted Li Xiang’s shoulder heavily, “I won’t let you be a bodyguard.”
Seeing that both Xia Luobing and Li Xiang were about to resign and leave, the other police officers were somewhat restless.
“Everyone has a family to support. Don’t be willful.” Xia Luobing smiled and comforted, “Call us if you need anything in the future.”
Walking to the entrance of the public security bureau, Xia Luobing turned around and took a look. She had spent the best time of her life here, and it was fake to say that she was not sad when she left now.
“Boss, let’s go celebrate our freedom!” Li Xiang saw that Xia Luobing was not in a good mood and laughed, “I think President Huo’s villa is s.p.a.cious. Let’s have a party.”
Xia Luobing smiled and knocked on Li Xiang’s head, “Let’s go!”
At the Huo Clan villa, Nan Qi sat at the window and looked at the sunshine outside with a serious expression. He knew in his heart how much risk Xia Luobing had taken for him.
In the past and now, she was always helping him and protecting him.
“What are you thinking?” Lin Chen pushed open the door with the medicine and water. Seeing Nan Qi Yi’s serious expression, his heart skipped a beat. Every time Nan Qi’s face showed such an expression, it meant that he had to make a very important decision.
And such a decision cannot be changed.
“I want to leave this place.” Nan Qi turned to stare at Lin Chen and slowly said, “Lin Chen, don’t stop me.”
As expected
Lin Chen’s expression changed as he walked over and placed the tray in his hand on the bedside table, “Take the medicine.”
Nan Qi glanced at Lin Chen, picked up the pill from the tray, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it. He took another sip of water from his cup, obedient like a child.
However, he put down the cup and stared at Lin Chen, repeating his request, “I want to leave this place. Help me.”
Not to mention the injuries on his body that would hinder his movements, just looking at the dense crowd of guards outside the window, one could tell that escaping from this place was simply as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
“Impossible!” Lin Chen said expressionlessly. The veins on his forehead burst out, as if he was trying his best to suppress his anger. “Everyone worked so hard to save you. Are you in such a hurry to die?”
Nan Qi’s expression changed. He remained silent for a long time and said in a solemn voice, “I can’t drag Luo Bing down.”
Hearing this, Lin Chen was stunned and struggled. After a while, he slowed down and said, “Huo Yunqi found Macbeth to treat your stomach disease. You can’t leave.”
“Does she know?” Nan Qi suddenly widened her eyes and stared at Nan Qi. She repeated her question again, “When did she know?”
“Before I save you.” Lin Chen said indifferently. Looking at the pale-faced man in front of him, he said in a deep voice, “Nan Qi, you think that you killed those people for my own good, but have you ever thought about my thoughts? Will I be fine if you die?”
Nan Qi remained silent. His life would be ruined completely. He hoped that at least one of the two would be able to lead a normal life.
“I will suffer pain and guilt for the rest of my life. Nan Qi, is this hope?”
“Lin Chen, you are my best brother and only relative. I hope you will live, live well.”
He would be the continuation of the lives of two people, and he hoped that he would be able to live through the excitement of the two of them.
“You think you’re right!” Lin Chen suddenly shouted, “You’re always so self-righteous! Do you think leaving is good for Xia Luobing? She will only work harder to find you. Do you understand?”
Nan Qi’s eyes trembled. He turned around and no longer looked at Lin Chen. The room suddenly fell into silence. The oppressed people couldn’t breathe.
Sunlight fell on the two of them through the window. One was sitting on the bed, the other was standing beside the bed. Both of their faces were half bright and half in the shadows. They were like paintings of cold colors. The oppressive air made it difficult to breathe.
“You can go out. I want to be alone!” Nan Qi said indifferently, his eyes extremely silent.
Seeing him like this, Lin Chen couldn’t bear it anymore. He took a step forward, opened his mouth, and retreated back. Finally, he didn’t say a word. He turned around and left Nan Qi’s room.
“President Huo?” Lin Chen opened the door and saw Huo Yunqi standing at the door. He frowned and said, “What’s the matter?”
How long has he been standing here, listening to both of them?
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes as he recalled the conversation he had just had with Nan Qi. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he relaxed and smiled.
“Tell him that he can’t leave this place.” Huo Yunqi looked in the direction of Nan Qi’s room, his tone so stiff that there was no temperature at all.
He was brought back with great difficulty by Bing Bing. How could he leave so easily?
“I know.” Lin Chen was stunned, his mouth opened, and he nodded helplessly. This man’s protection of Xia Luobing had reached the point of doting on him.
“Wow, boss, this place is really luxurious!”
Li Xiang exclaimed as he entered the living room. He felt that his eyes weren’t enough. He was extremely glad that he had resigned with Xia Luobing and still had meat to eat with the leader.
Huo Yunqi and Lin Chen had already gone downstairs. They were surprised to see Xia Luobing standing in the hall and Li Xiang, who was like a curious baby.
“What happened?” Huo Yunqi walked to Xia Luobing’s side and grabbed her shoulder in a deep voice. His gaze landed on Li Xiang’s body, which was chilly, causing Li Xiang’s entire body to tremble.
Seeing Li Xiang look at him for help, Xia Luobing laughingly pinched Huo Yunqi’s arm and reproached him, “I resigned, so did he.”
Li Xiang hurriedly nodded, “Director Zhang told the boss to scram, and I scram with him!”
Xia Luobing looked at Li Xiang with a dark face. Was this guy going to speak so bluntly? She would feel embarra.s.sed.
However, after waiting for a long time, she did not hear Huo Yunqi’s mocking voice. She raised her head in surprise to meet Huo Yunqi’s cold gaze that seemed to be about to kill. Her heart couldn’t help but tremble and she laughed dryly, “You, what’s wrong with you?”
She couldn’t help but mutter in her heart, this fellow wouldn’t think that she was an unemployed vagrant anymore, so she was going to dislike her, right?
“It’s good not to go to work.” Huo Yunqi suddenly smiled and instructed the servants, “Make more dishes and celebrate tonight.”
The corner of Xia Luobing’s mouth twitched, expressing that she was not used to Huo Yunqi’s sudden change in painting style.
“Luo Bing, did we implicate you?” Lin Chen suddenly said, his warm face full of guilt. “I’m really sorry.”
Originally, he should have thought that things would not end so easily.
Xia Luobing smiled and shook her head, “It’s none of your business. I don’t want to do it myself.”
Although it was indeed related to Nan Qi, according to Director Zhang’s att.i.tude towards her, she would resign sooner or later.
Lin Chen didn’t seem to believe Xia Luobing’s words. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but Li Xiang interrupted him.
“Aiyo, I said, why are you so cute? Our leader said that it has nothing to do with you, so that means it has nothing to do with you.” Li Xiang patted his chest and abdomen and swore in confidence, “We can do something else in the future to save ourselves from that loser.”
Lin Chen’s heart warmed as he smiled at Li Xiang, “Thank you very much.”
Whether it was for Nan Qi or for what he had just said, Lin Chen was grateful.
Xia Luobing removed Huo Yunqi’s arm from her shoulder and quietly glared at him. Didn’t this fellow see that everyone was there?
Huo Yunqi curved his lips and smiled, “Macbeth has arrived in City A.”
“Really? When did it happen?” Xia Luobing’s eyes widened with joy. He subconsciously hugged Huo Yunqi’s arm and rebuked, “Why didn’t you say it earlier?”
Nan Qi’s stomach cancer was already very serious, so he could have a little more hope if he had an operation a day earlier.
