Chapter 615: Don't Bite Off More Than You Can Chew!

This period of time, Xiaoji has indeed been having a lot of fun.

Originally, he was quite resistant to going on adventures with Black Cat.

He always felt that this was a waste of his prime youth.

But as they continued, he found that he and Black Cat had more and more in common.

Even their preferences became increasingly similar.

To the point where, over time, he wondered why Chen Xiao hadn't called him.

Now, Chen Xiao's call finally came.

"Bro, I've had my fun, I'm all set!"

"Where's Black Cat?"

"Brother Chen Xiao, I've had my fun too, I've been so happy these days."

Chen Xiao smiled: "That's good. I have a job for you two. I need you to go to Hai City and help me investigate someone."

"Okay, send the person's information to me and Xiaoji. We'll definitely find out everything clearly!"

After saying okay, Chen Xiao sent over the information about President Zhuang and Master Liu and explained their identities and relationships.

Xiaoji and Black Cat didn't reply.

But Chen Xiao knew they would soon hit the streets of Hai City.

Without giving much thought to how Xiaoji and Black Cat would do it, Chen Xiao left the clinic and went back to his place first.

At home, Chen Xiao took a shower and then peacefully lay in bed to rest.

At this moment, he still felt physically energetic.

However, he wanted to let his mind rest for a bit.

For over a week, he's been moving around a lot, and his mind hasn't rested except when sleeping.

He wanted to let himself relax.

Especially now, when even if he tried, he wouldn't make much progress.

Soon, Chen Xiao fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up and walked out of the bedroom, Old Gui was placing dishes on the table.

Seeing Chen Xiao, Old Gui said with some surprise, "President Chen, you woke up just in time, the food is just ready."

"Did you make these?" Chen Xiao asked with a smile.

Old Gui nodded, "Yes, President Guo said that no matter how big the restaurant outside is, after eating there for three to five days, even the most skilled chef's food will get tiresome. It's nothing like the delightfulness of homemade stir-fry."

"So, from that time on, I also learned some cooking skills."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel envious of Guo Qing again.

He thought to himself about what kind of personal charisma that guy had to train a driver to be so excellent.

After sitting at the table and tasting a bite, Chen Xiao gave Old Gui a thumbs-up:

"Jiang Province's cuisine, truly well made!"

"Hehe, I'm currently exploring Shencheng City's local flavors. I reckon in some time, I can make a big table of it."

"Impressive!" Chen Xiao quickly took a few big bites of rice, and after eating his fill, he began to ask:

"How's Guo Qing's side?"

"Still cooperating with the investigation. President Guo said there's no rush since the construction site cannot commence work for the time being. However..."

Chen Xiao looked up, "However what?"

"It's been rumored that another piece of king-level land will soon be on sale in Shencheng City. Right now, with the negative news around Dragon Cauldron, it will be difficult to compete."

Old Gui's eyes showed a hint of worry.

But Chen Xiao remained calm, "It's expected, and even if Dragon Cauldron had no negative news, it couldn't take that piece of land. Remember, the Yang Lake land nearly cost Dragon Cauldron everything."

"True, biting off more than one can chew; there will be opportunities in the future."

"You can't say that. What you can't handle alone, you can invite others to partake. Wealth is infinite; for one person, it's only so much, but for ten people, a hundred people, a million people, it's still infinite."

Old Gui seemed to understand Chen Xiao's meaning and asked with excitement: "President Chen, do you have another plan?"

Just as Chen Xiao was about to respond,

his phone suddenly rang.

Upon seeing that it was Zhu Nianhong calling, Chen Xiao immediately answered:

"Hello, Second Sister Zhu, have you arrived?"

"Yes, Advisor Chen, the plane has landed."

"Alright, after you exit the airport, wait at the exit. Officers from the city bureau will come to pick you up. See you later at the bureau!"

After the call.

Chen Xiao stood up immediately: "Old Gui, let's go to the city bureau."

"Okay, President Chen."

Old Gui quickly grabbed the car keys and went to the car with Chen Xiao.

More than ten minutes later, Chen Xiao reached the city bureau first.

It took almost forty minutes before Chen Xiao saw Zhu Nianhong again.

But besides Zhu Nianhong and her father, there was also Zhu the Third, whom Chen Xiao arranged to come along.

The concern was that Zhu Nianhong, who had never left West Origin City, might not know how to navigate transportation.

However, aside from the two, Chen Xiao didn't expect Kang Mao to come too.

As the latter saw Chen Xiao's gaze, he quickly approached and apologized:

"Sorry, Advisor Chen, I came without discussing it with you, but I heard news about Nianying and just couldn't hold back."

Chen Xiao nodded.

The arrival of Kang Mao wasn't something significant for Chen Xiao.

"Since you're all here, you should also help Second Sister and the others settle in Shencheng City."

"No problem," Kang Mao nodded happily but quickly asked along with Zhu Nianhong:

"Is the found female corpse Nianying?"

"We still can't confirm. We're waiting for Second Sister to come for a familial match."

"So it's still uncertain. Does the person look like Nianying?"

"Yes."

Chen Xiao didn't say much more, but brought everyone into the city bureau, allowing Zhu Nianhong to collect blood samples for identification.

Once the process was done, Zhu Nianhong hesitated and asked:

"Advisor Chen, can... can I have a look at that girl?"

Chen Xiao hesitated slightly but agreed, "Let it be just Second Sister and me. The forensic dissection room isn't suitable for too many people."

Everyone nodded.

Then Chen Xiao took Zhu Nianhong to the forensic department.

Upon seeing the skeletal remains, Zhu Nianhong was directly stunned in place.

She hadn't seen her younger sister for many years.

"Did Nianying grow this tall later on?"

Zhu Nianhong choked up for a while before tremblingly asking this question.

Chen Xiao nodded.

When Zhu Nianhong arrived, Chen Xiao had already mentioned that the body's stature was similar to Zhu Nianying's.

Zhu Nianhong sighed deeply, "Yeah, it's been so many years. When she left, she was at the age of growth. It's not surprising that she grew this tall, but…"

Zhu Nianhong spoke, but she couldn't clearly articulate even a single word after that.

The choking in her voice made her entire body tremble uncontrollably.

Chen Xiao gently patted her shoulder and said, "Second Sister, let's go. We cannot yet confirm if this corpse is hers, so looking more won't help."

Zhu Nianhong took one last look at the haunting bones, then followed Chen Xiao out.

But just as they stepped outside, Chen Xiao pulled Zhu Nianhong aside and seriously asked:

"Second Sister, do you think Zhu Nianying would have retained her youthful character, unchanged all these years?"
