Chapter 598: He Seems to Have Guessed You Would Come!

Anything always seems simple when spoken.

But the difficulty of doing it increases by tens or even hundreds of times.

For instance, once Zhu Nianying is murdered, the body is buried within the range of the Yang Lake area.

This is a prerequisite for everything.

However, before these conditions, there’s one more condition.

That is, Jin Peng is the witness and clearly knows where Zhu Nianying is buried!

Only by adding up all these conditions can Chen Xiao’s speculation hold rationality.

But even if it is reasonable, trying to use it to bring down Chen Xiao is not very easy.

Because nearly half of the workers on this Yang Lake land are under Guo Qing.

Guo Qing’s underlings include numerous foremen, who have earned quite a lot following Guo Qing over the years.

Even those laborers are the same, with a call from the foremen, they can run all over the country.

Therefore, Jin Peng or the Qi Family needs to have their own people inside.

Moreover, the one who digs up the body must hold a certain position in the Dragon Cauldron.

Otherwise, for a mere laborer, even if something happens, the Dragon Cauldron’s difficulty of diminishing the influence would be greatly reduced.

Similarly, if there is evidence proving that the higher-ups of the construction site instructed the concealment of a corpse, once exposed, it would be catastrophic for the Dragon Cauldron.

Chen Xiao understands this logic, and naturally, Guo Qing does too.

The latter’s eyes, furthermore, flicker with a chilly glint.

Apparently, from Guo Qing’s standpoint, he somewhat tends to believe that the body has been discovered and that the other party is just waiting to throw this lethal bomb at them at the right moment.

After thinking for a moment, Guo Qing replied:

"No wonder you came to the construction site. I didn’t come wrongly either. Guessing wrong doesn’t mean anything, but once we guess correctly, we must do something now, otherwise, the problem is very serious."

Chen Xiao nodded: "Yes, once all our guesses are correct, the problem will be extremely serious. And based on your experience, it shouldn’t be hard to guess that exposure would mean a dead end, right?"

"Yes, the moment you mentioned that possibility, my instinct was to think about PR. But after thinking it over, I felt there was no way to diminish the influence at all."

Guo Qing’s face was solemn.

Chen Xiao, however, patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "We should just do our part. First, inquire among your men to see if anyone has noticed any anomalies since the work began on the construction site."

"If there are any, that would be the most favorable result for us. If no one notices, then we need to find another way."

"I understand, although the Dragon Cauldron is now handling multiple things simultaneously, regardless, the land at Yang Lake is the lifeline and must not be lost. And to speak frankly, even though the Guo Family is large and powerful."

"However, Shencheng City Dragon Cauldron has almost exhausted half of the Guo Family’s resources, so if there’s any loss, not only will Dragon Cauldron exit the major stage of Shencheng, but even the Guo Family might falter."

After saying these words, Guo Qing turned and left without saying much else to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao also understood the importance of this matter.

But he remembers a principle now, that some things need to be done and personally experienced to find the accurate method.

Otherwise, it would be nothing more than idle talk.

Seeing that Guo Qing went to look for the higher-ups of the construction site, Chen Xiao headed to the highest point of the construction site accompanied by Old Gui.

From this vantage point, the entire construction site was in full view.

However, looking at the site below and the dense crowd of workers, Chen Xiao asked Old Gui a question:

"Old Gui, when I was walking around the site just now, how many people were curiously watching me?"

"Roughly estimated, regardless of whether you actively looked at them or not, there were about seventy to eighty people watching you. Among these seventy to eighty people, you could say that 99% had faces of curiosity about who you are."

Listening to Old Gui’s report, Chen Xiao turned his head in surprise:

"Then how did the remaining 1% look at me?"

"I recorded it, you can review it yourself."

Everything Old Gui did and said always managed to refresh Chen Xiao’s perspective.

He was undeniably the most meticulous person Chen Xiao had ever encountered!

Every time the boss just needed to give a look, and he would know what to do, and everything he did would be presented in the most convenient way.

Chen Xiao took the equipment Old Gui handed over.

The reason he asked Old Gui to do this was simple.

If what Chen Xiao and Guo Qing speculated about the construction site really happened, then those involved would definitely pay more attention to Chen Xiao’s arrival.

Their looks and expressions would definitely differ from others.

Old Gui’s method of video recording obviously made it easier for Chen Xiao to observe.

While watching the video, Chen Xiao asked Old Gui, "Among those people, who do you think seems the most suspicious?"

"There’s an older brother. I remember how he looked at you; I felt his gaze was different from the other workers."

"Really? How did he look at me?"

"When others looked at you, there was curiosity, admiration, surprise. Those people clearly knew something about you."

"And there were some who just glanced twice and went back to their work. Such people are also common on construction sites, they belong to those not very fond of commotion, focusing solely on how much they can earn in a day."

Chen Xiao nodded, and Old Gui continued:

"As for that older brother, I remember him because I noticed his gaze was very calm, like... like he knew you would come."

While watching the video, Chen Xiao suddenly paused, then turned to look at Old Gui:

"As if he knew I would come?"

"I’m not sure, it’s just a subconscious feeling." With that, Old Gui took the recording device and found the recorded timestamp.

"Here, have a look yourself, it’s this older brother. He seems to be in his fifties, appears to be an older worker, having done this kind of work his entire life. But most workers, upon seeing the company boss, wouldn’t be so calm."

"This person is overly calm. Unless he already knew you would come, and he knew what you looked like, I can’t think of any other possibility."

Old Gui finished speaking, and Chen Xiao noticed the elderly worker captured by Old Gui’s camera.

Those eyes were indeed calmly watching him.

Though his first glance barely lasted a second or two, he didn’t just look once, in total, there were three glances.

What alerted Chen Xiao the most was the thoughtful look the worker had the second time he looked at him!

"What’s he thinking?"

"If he already knew I would come, it means he’s most likely the person Guo Qing and I are looking for."

"But could that person have appeared so easily? And why did he look so thoughtful after seeing me?"
