Chapter 612: Terrifying Chain of Reasoning!

"My name is Hu Xianyou."

The man revealed his name.

Chen Xiao nodded, then turned around.

The man was bewildered: "Advisor Chen, why are you leaving? Aren't you going to visit my uncle and aunt's place?"

"No, the house is no longer the old place it used to be. Today, I'm sorry to have disturbed you, Mr. Hu."

"It's no bother at all, but... is that all you wanted from me?"

Hu Xianyou was still a bit uncertain. Seeing Chen Xiao nod, he could only walk away quietly while he was deep in thought.

As soon as Hu Xianyou left, Chen Xiao found a quiet place to sit down alone.

However, just as he sat down, his phone in his pocket rang.

Chen Xiao took out his phone and answered without any hesitation.

But as always, before he could say anything, Lin Xi on the other end of the line spoke first:

"Hey handsome, did you miss me?"

Hearing Lin Xi's somewhat playful words, Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile and said:

"I don't know if I missed you or not, but I certainly haven't been sleeping well, always feeling like a little kitten is going to cuddle up to me."

"You're the kitten. Quickly tell me how things are progressing over there?"

Lin Xi called not only because she missed Chen Xiao but also because she was undoubtedly worried about the case Chen Xiao was currently investigating.

"There's nothing to worry about with the Qi Family now. I've also reached an agreement to cooperate with the real decision-makers there."

"Cooperation? They actually agreed to work with you?"

Lin Xi clearly didn't expect Chen Xiao to solve the Qi Family issue in such an appropriate manner.

Understanding Lin Xi's curiosity, Chen Xiao explained the whole story.

After hearing it, Lin Xi couldn't believe it.

"Honey, I find you truly are a genius. Just imagining it, I can feel how critical the situation was! Yet you were able to come up with a brilliant solution in such a tight spot, it's like turning the world upside down!"

Lin Xi didn't hold back her compliments, and aside from anything else, her emotions were spot on.

At least for Chen Xiao, he felt quite satisfied in that moment.

But back to the matter at hand, Chen Xiao said seriously, "The case has taken a turn."

"What kind of turn?"

"The female corpse found at the construction site might not be Zhu Nianying."

"How can that be!"

Whether it was Chen Xiao who experienced it firsthand or those who heard about it, everyone's reaction was exactly the same as Lin Xi's at that moment.

"For now, it's just because her attire and style are out of character. I've notified her family to come for a familial identification."

"In that case, we should just quietly wait for the results." Lin Xi offered some comfort.

However, Chen Xiao sighed and said, "No, we can't wait on this, sweetheart... Listen to me, I feel like both Grandpa Guo, including Guo Qing, and I have fallen into a deep pit."

"If it were before, I'd think the one who dug this pit must be someone from the Qi Family, but now I'm fairly certain it's not a Qi Family member. So who is the trapper?"

Lin Xi was well aware of those who had conflicts with Chen Xiao.

So when Chen Xiao posed the question, Lin Xi couldn't help but exclaim:

"Sacred Heart Church?"

"Aside from the Sacred Heart Church, I can't think of anyone else who'd be so relentless."

Lin Xi didn't respond immediately.

After a brief consideration, she said, "Then we need to trace it back to the beginning. You first discovered the Sacred Heart Church when you went to Hai City to help Captain Pan investigate the murder of Qiu Huasheng's daughter."

"While investigating that case, you looked into a food stall owner named Xu Fu, and that's where you saw the Sacred Heart Church's emblem."

"But before the incident with Zuo Shu, you had no dealings with the Sacred Heart Church. After Zuo Shu's incident, the clash between you and the Sacred Heart Church stemmed from the fact that Chen Yan is Zhao Hai!"

"Therefore, it's after Zuo Shu's incident that you fully came onto the Sacred Heart Church's radar. Even though at the time Zhao Hai and Zuo Shu were among the twelve high-ranking members of the Sacred Heart Church, they were on the verge of being discarded."

"But even if discarded, they were still high-ranking members of the Sacred Heart Church. This could be a point of relentless conflict, but its weight is insufficient, so honey, you need to think about what else adds weight to this conflict."

"Actually, it's quite simple. To add weight to the conflict, it's Li Hai! Originally, after the Zuo Shu case was solved, as long as we didn't take action, it wouldn't have led to a relentless conflict with the Sacred Heart Church."

"But after Zuo Shu's case, Grandpa Guo and I agreed that we could involve ourselves in Li Hai's matters. The Sacred Heart Church's goal has always been the Li Hai Group, so us interfering is akin to taking their people and blocking their financial path!"

"That's a reason strong enough for them to be entangled with us forever!"

After Chen Xiao finished, Lin Xi still felt puzzled: "If you know it's the Sacred Heart Church, what are you still confused about?"

"I now have a feeling that a real high-ranking member of the Sacred Heart Church is right under my nose, but I don't know who it is!"

"Right under your nose? That can't be right. Whether in Dongzhou or Shencheng City, the people aware of your activities are just a few: Guo Qing, Qin Fei, Qin Fei's parents, and Elder Huang Zhao who asked for your help."

"Yes, those aware of my actions are just these few people, but the feeling is getting stronger!"

"Alright, let's trace back once more. You went to Shencheng City for two reasons: one was to help Dragon Cauldron successfully settle in Li Hai, and the second was Elder Huang's request for you to investigate Zhu Nianying's case."

As Lin Xi spoke, Chen Xiao abruptly interjected: "That's wrong."

"What's wrong? It's correct." Lin Xi was puzzled.

Chen Xiao very seriously said, "To trace it back, we must start from the very beginning, so the true cause was Grandpa Guo's health problem!"

"What do you mean?"

"Grandpa Guo had health issues, and having seen Dr. Huang's prowess, I invited him to the Provincial City for a consultation on Grandpa Guo's condition. After diagnosing, in order not to distract me, Grandpa Guo chose to go abroad, which is why I followed Elder Huang Zhao to Shencheng City."

Chen Xiao's analysis left Lin Xi on the other end momentarily silent.

Her silence wasn't because she was listening intently.

It was because she had thought of a possibility!

That possibility was terrifying!

If it's true, then Chen Xiao is already in a very dangerous situation!

"No, I'm heading to Shencheng City right now! Wait for me!"
