Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

"What kind of familial or romantic love?"

"I know my father’s character very well. He would never harbor any ill intentions toward Ah Cai."

"Moreover, Ah Cai’s disappearance definitely has nothing to do with him!"

Chen Xiao’s warning didn’t sway Liu Chuan’s internal feelings at all.

This person should be incredibly confident about all the relationships he’s involved in.

Or maybe, Chen Xiao is just an outsider.

Chen Xiao’s one-sided words couldn’t possibly make him doubt his own father who raised him.

Thinking about this, Chen Xiao’s mind started to stir again.

"You’re right. In my investigation, Jiang Cai’s disappearance didn’t have much to do with your father. The reason I asked you to make a decision is that, in my investigation, the person I suspect is close to your father."

As soon as Chen Xiao said this, Liu Chuan’s gaze suddenly sharpened:

"Are you saying that the person who caused Ah Cai to disappear is now approaching my father? And my father is already being influenced by him?"

Chen Xiao paused and then laughed: "It’s not impossible!"

Liu Chuan took a deep breath and said earnestly: "Mr. Chen, Captain Pan told me a lot about your achievements over the phone. When I remembered those things, to be honest, I greatly admire your talent and ability. But, I respect your character even more."

"So when Captain Pan suggested I meet with you, I didn’t hesitate at all. But, if you ask me to make such a choice as earlier, I can very responsibly tell you, I will absolutely not make any choice."

Chen Xiao nodded: "I understand! And it’s also my fault for not being clear earlier, in my investigation the suspicion towards your father was only because he was relatively close to the person in question."

"So what do you want me to do?"

"You don’t need to do anything for now."

Liu Chuan was puzzled: "If that’s the case, why did you tell me now? You’re essentially turning me into a ticking time bomb, aren’t you just adding trouble for yourself?"

As Liu Chuan was speaking.

But Chen Xiao suddenly turned back to smile at Old Gui.

Old Gui, who was behind him, originally had a calm expression, eyes filled with shock.

Yet when Chen Xiao looked this way, his body couldn’t help but sway a bit.

But Chen Xiao said nothing, just said to Liu Chuan:

"Until I notify Mr. Liu again, Mr. Liu might as well pretend he hasn’t met me. I came to find you today purely to tell you that I might have news of Jiang Cai."

"Ultimately, whether I can find Ms. Jiang Cai also requires Mr. Liu’s help."

Liu Chuan took a deep breath: "I understand Mr. Chen’s intentions. Rest assured... I’ll do as you say, and you don’t have to worry. My father isn’t currently in Hai City, and I won’t be meeting him."

"That’s good." Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, then glanced around the room and continued: "The ambiance here is quite nice, if Mr. Liu doesn’t mind, could I handle some other matters here?"

"Of course, feel free."

With that said, Liu Chuan stood up without any dragging and left the teahouse.

Once he left, Chen Xiao and Lin Xi remained in their original seats.

Before long, Lin Xi noticed Chen Xiao’s cup was empty, so she moved to the other side to make tea for Chen Xiao.

The expression of Old Gui behind was increasingly difficult to maintain as calm; after some hesitation, he asked:

"President Chen, are we waiting for anyone else?"

"Mm, we’re waiting for Hong Mei, she’s arriving soon."

"Hong Mei? The one from Qingtian Architecture?"

"Yes."

"Oh, I get it. She’s your assistant in Dongzhou business now, right? You’re waiting for her to report then?" Old Gui asked with an awkward smile.

Chen Xiao didn’t answer, just took the tea Lin Xi handed over.

The atmosphere in the room was gradually becoming quieter at this point.

Chen Xiao and Lin Xi were in no rush.

Old Gui, on the other hand, was becoming increasingly uneasy.

Finally, Hong Mei arrived.

When the box door opened at that moment, Old Gui’s head immediately turned back.

Seeing beside Hong Mei stood a haggard-looking woman without hands, his pupils gradually widened.

"Old Gui, save me!"

As soon as she saw Old Gui, the woman cried and shouted.

Hong Mei looked at Ah Qin’s severed hand bleeding, and couldn’t help but coldly lick her lips.

"Old Gui, long time no see, your conscience is getting smaller!"

Hong Mei’s words made Old Gui feel empty.

He struggled to hold the chair, and his head gradually turned to look at Chen Xiao.

Seeing Chen Xiao looking at him with a cold face, Old Gui understood everything.

"Old Gui, what are you standing there for, it’s this woman who set me up and cut off my hand, you must avenge me!"

Ah Qin seemed not to grasp the situation, and kept howling at Old Gui.

Hong Mei exhaled the cigarette from her mouth, raised her hand and slapped it.

She clearly saw the fury rising in Old Gui’s eyes immediately.

But, Hong Mei angrily pointed at Old Gui: "Ah Gui, if you dare move, today I will clean house for President Guo!"

Old Gui clenched his teeth, Hong Mei continued coldly laughing:

"What, still unyielding? I tell you, among all the siblings, who else is as lucky as you? You’re the only one who still sticks around President Guo today!"

"But you? Think about the lousy things you’ve done!"

"Yes, I’m sure you’d say President Guo is nothing, right? After all, back then President Guo did this in front of you, cutting this woman’s hand off. But, what right do you have to feel resentful about this?"

"President Guo did it for whose good? For you! To keep you away from this gambler!"

"And you really think this woman saw you as true love? Do you know how many men thoroughly developed her at the casino last night?"

"Haha, unlike you... I’m afraid except for normally sleeping with her those few times, you’ve seen nothing new and exciting?"

"President Guo’s been wise for a lifetime, yet now his eyes are blind, recruiting you, such an old bastard!"

Hong Mei’s words were incredibly sharp.

Ah Qin, who initially thought she’d found a savior and was clamoring, now shrank her neck.

Old Gui continually stared at Ah Qin, his face completely pale.

Hong Mei saw Old Gui seemed still hesitating, directly shook off Ah Qin, walked to him and slapped him hard several times.

"Are you still having lucky thoughts that she couldn’t have done that? Let me now tell you, your woman is just someone who anyone can play, but she won’t let you play her!"

Hong Mei spoke, slapping Old Gui’s face over and over.

When the words ended, Old Gui was completely stunned.

But no one knew if he was stunned by Hong Mei’s slaps or if those words messed up his mind.
