Chapter 642: Betrayal!

"Chen Xiao, could Xiaoji and Black Cat’s disappearance be something he planned!"

"The purpose of him planning all this is to send you away from Shencheng City, so his next plan can be executed, like dealing with the real threat!"

Qin Fei’s thoughts, regardless of whether they were overly fanciful, undeniably opened up completely upon Chen Xiao’s reminder.

However, what Chen Xiao thought was different from Qin Fei.

In his heart, he didn’t think Xiaoji and Black Cat were in danger.

Especially after checking their residence and the footage left by them, the feeling grew stronger.

Since they weren’t in danger, then their disappearance might not be related to the crime suspect.

If it has nothing to do with the crime suspect, then where does the idea of sending away come from?

There’s contradiction in this.

Unless, the suspect Huang Zhao knew about Chen Xiao’s departure immediately, and it had nothing to do with him, creating an opportunity for him.

Thinking about this, Chen Xiao began to analyze seriously:

"It seems my arrival in Hai City might be an accidental breakthrough. Captain Qin, whether or not he planned to send me away, now is indeed a great opportunity for him to deal with some threats he hesitated to handle before!"

"Of course, it’s also an opportunity for us. If he really does this, we have a high probability of finding Zhu Nianying!"

"But you’ve been in Hai City for a while now, isn’t it a bit late?" Qin Fei asked worriedly.

Chen Xiao replied confidently, "No, if it’s an unexpected event for both of us, while we’re speculating about him, he’s also speculating about us. He needs several hours to confirm whether I’m playing him."

"Very likely, I’ll arrange people!"

As Qin Fei spoke, Chen Xiao didn’t express his opinion.

Because at this moment, he must absolutely trust Qin Fei, only Qin Fei could help him.

The two didn’t speak further, and Qin Fei quickly ended the call.

Chen Xiao sat in the car for a while, and when he dialed Guo Zhengchang’s number again and found it couldn’t connect.

In his heart, he silently thought:

"Grandpa Guo, you’re someone who has faced many storms. And you’ve encountered countless adversaries, so your sudden critical illness, your sudden disappearance, is it hinting at something to me?"

"Grandpa Guo, if that’s the case, then you’ll appear in a way I completely didn’t expect, right?"

No one knows Chen Xiao’s inner thoughts.

But if it truly is like this, then for Chen Xiao, it’d be the best news he received since starting to deal with these events.

Unfortunately, he can’t verify it.

He doesn’t understand, even if it matches his thoughts, what the purpose behind such actions would be.

Chen Xiao is full of questions.

But his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the phone.

When Chen Xiao picked it up and saw it was Hong Mei calling, his heart sank.

"Seems he really has issues. If there weren’t, why would Hong Mei call me so quickly?"

Thinking this, Chen Xiao answered the phone.

"Hello, Sister Mei, is there any progress?"

"I’m on the way to West Gate, the woman is living there now."

"Get to the point."

Chen Xiao sensed Hong Mei’s emotions, and she took a deep breath:

"I never thought one day President Guo would have such matters beside him, I’m furious, I want to tear that woman apart!"

"So, it means they’ve always kept in contact?"

"Yes! Mr. Chen, if it weren’t for you, I couldn’t imagine what a terrifying outcome it’d be when he truly betrays President Guo. President Guo has always been someone who trusts people without doubts, and wouldn’t use doubtful ones. So like every subordinate like me, he never sets up any defenses!"

Chen Xiao sighed internally, "He really is an excellent person, but... it’s so unfortunate."

"Mr. Chen, when I get to West Gate, I’ll contact you again."

"After you get to West Gate, just control the woman, don’t stir trouble, just wait for my instructions."

"Should we inform President Guo?"

"No need, Guo Qing’s personality is a weak spot in this aspect, if he knows, he won’t stay composed."

"I understand," replied Hong Mei, then added, "Mr. Chen, thank you, if it weren’t for your vigilance, I think no one would suspect him!"

Chen Xiao hummed, ending their call.

But after the call, Chen Xiao asked himself, was he really vigilant?

In fact, he wasn’t.

After witnessing Old Gui’s capabilities, he almost always trusted Old Gui.

But this time, during his visit to Hai City, Old Gui talked too much at the airport lounge.

Of course, he has always talked a lot.

But why did Chen Xiao feel alert this time?

All because Old Gui’s previous remarks were always what a driver and subordinate should say.

His actions were also always what a perfect driver should do.

But this time, Old Gui commented on Chen Xiao’s state.

He said, regardless of Chen Xiao coming to Hai City or not, he couldn’t remain as rational as before.

What’s the implication of this?

He hopes Chen Xiao comes to Hai City!

As a subordinate, a driver, is this appropriate to say?

Chen Xiao thinks it’s inappropriate.

Even if he treats Old Gui as a friend in his heart.

But Old Gui has always shown that he is forever Guo Qing’s driver and brother.

So on this point, Old Gui has issues!

He spoke a few words that someone of his status shouldn’t say, nor displayed urgency not suited for his identity.

Chen Xiao sighed deeply.

Yet, he isn’t planning to actively talk to Old Gui about this matter, he still hopes his suspicions are unfounded, and Old Gui’s entanglement with that woman is just lingering feelings.

After all, human hearts are emotional, and since ancient times, heroes have struggled to resist beauty’s allure.

The power of love can sometimes be very unreasonable.

Chen Xiao drove aimlessly on Hai City’s streets, unsure who to find.

After driving for an unknown amount of time, when the entire Hai City was already immersed in a sea of neon lights, Chen Xiao casually found a place to stop for a meal.

The dining place was a simple fast food restaurant.

Inside, there were quite a few older workers who had just finished their shifts. Seeing the atmosphere was good, Chen Xiao joined them.

After casually picking a few side dishes, Chen Xiao found them quite economical.

If he hadn’t driven, he would’ve liked to enjoy some chilled beers like the others.

But while he was eating intently, his eyes were suddenly drawn to someone entering the restaurant.

The person’s appearance was extremely surprising, because he had seen that face in the surveillance camera.

It was the delivery guy who had sent items to Xiaoji and Black Cat!
