Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

"Yes!"

Zhu Nianying’s answer confirmed Chen Xiao’s suspicion.

Zhu Nianying’s reaction also made Chen Xiao understand that she must have agreed.

Otherwise, Zhu Nianying wouldn’t have this cold smile on her face.

"So when you met Kang Mao and told him your affair with President Zhuang, was it all true?"

Zhu Nianying took a deep breath, her eyes somewhat vacant as she replied:

"You saved me, so I won’t hide anything from you. My relationship with President Zhuang is exactly as you imagined, and what I told Kang Mao was the whole truth."

Chen Xiao felt a twinge of disappointment in his heart.

But soon, Chen Xiao shook off the distracting thoughts.

"What did you discover about Huang Hao that made you disappear for so many years?"

This question filled Zhu Nianying’s eyes with confusion.

She shook her head: "I don’t know why, even if he told me he imprisoned me just because I reminded him of his mother. But I’ve known him for so many years, why suddenly imprison me after so many years?"

"In other words, he never told you the real reason?"

"Yes." Zhu Nianying nodded.

After a brief contemplation, Chen Xiao decided to temporarily abandon this issue.

"How many girls have you seen die in total?"

"I’ve seen 11 girls die in total. I guess you must have found that basement, right?"

"Yes, were there people already dead when you went there?"

"Yes, the scene inside was indescribable. And the girl named Jiang Cai, she was nearly driven insane. Sometimes she was lucid, sometimes delusional. It was difficult to communicate with her."

Chen Xiao didn’t ask further questions.

The following issues regarding her would be left to Qin Fei for interrogation.

Soon, Old Gui drove and followed Qin Fei’s team back to the precinct.

After getting out of the car, Qin Fei found Chen Xiao and asked:

"Do you want to join me in the interrogation work?"

Chen Xiao shook his head: "No need, you know... After finding Zhu Nianying, I need to focus on another matter."

Qin Fei realized, then said with a hint of concern:

"I’ve heard some rumors; has Dragon Cauldron been outed by Qi Wei from Li Hai?"

"Yes, Qi Wei and Qi Li made their final choice."

Qin Fei sighed helplessly: "These people have no integrity at all, everything is about profit."

Speaking, Qin Fei laughed and asked: "Do you need help? If you do, I can pull some strings, haha!"

"Not for now, besides I owe Captain Qin quite a lot of favors."

"Haha, we’re friends, no need to talk about favors! I’ll get busy first. When you need help, just let me know. Although I might not be able to help, I can always offer some advice."

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, Qin Fei soon went to the interrogation room to carry out his work.

It didn’t take long for the police to take Zhu Nianying away.

In the police station hall, it was just Chen Xiao and Old Gui standing for a while.

Old Gui wanted to inquire something from Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao spoke first:

"Let’s go see Guo Qing. He’s probably in a bad mood now, and if he finds out about your matters, you know what the consequences will be."

Old Gui didn’t say anything, just silently nodded and left the police station hall, continuing to drive toward Dragon Cauldron.

Tonight, Guo Qing hadn’t returned home, he was at Dragon Cauldron handling affairs.

When Chen Xiao and Old Gui arrived, Guo Qing was quite surprised.

"Chen Xiao, how do you have time to come to Dragon Cauldron?"

Chen Xiao smiled: "I’m here to notify you of two pieces of news, one good, one bad."

"Don’t mess with me, I’m not in the mood to play games with you now. Hmm, let’s hear the good news first!"

"The good news is, Zhu Nianying has been found, and Sacred Heart Church’s president Huang Hao has been arrested."

Guo Qing’s eyes widened instantly: "You already found her! She really is still alive!"

Guo Qing exclaimed, but immediately responded: "Wait, did you just say Sacred Heart Church’s president is who?"

"Huang Hao, Huang Zhao’s son."

"Impossible! He’s a good man, I’ve looked into him, has a strong sense of justice. And the patients in the clinic have a great impression of him, sometimes even better than Huang Zhao!"

Chen Xiao shrugged: "You can’t judge a book by its cover, just like the saying goes for people like Huang Hao."

Guo Qing didn’t dwell on who he was, his concern was still about Sacred Heart Church.

"Forget it, not worried about who it is. Since he’s Sacred Heart Church’s president, can I assume that Qi Wei and Qi Li lost their backbone? After they lose it, can Dragon Cauldron re-enter the arena?"

Chen Xiao, a bit speechless, said: "You mean to say, to renegotiate with Qi Wei and Qi Li and then get the new real estate?"

"What else? Dragon Cauldron’s strength alone isn’t enough, we can’t just abandon that land at Yang Lake."

"A good horse never turns back to eat grass. Qi Wei and Qi Li publicly violated the cooperation, how can we ally with them again." Chen Xiao directly rejected Guo Qing’s proposal, the latter sighed:

"So you mean, we have to give up the new real estate?"

"This matter is still uncertain, let’s wait for Grandpa Guo’s reply." Chen Xiao said.

Guo Qing’s eyes turned bleak.

He considered whether to tell Chen Xiao that Guo Zhengchang was still in a coma!

But after thinking, Guo Qing decided not to say anything, as Guo Zhengchang had instructed not to mention it to Chen Xiao.

"Then let’s wait." Guo Qing replied, then asked: "What’s the bad news?"

Chen Xiao immediately looked at Old Gui.

Realizing the meaning, Old Gui kneeled down in front of Guo Qing.

His kneeling left Guo Qing bewildered: "What are you doing? What kind of New Year’s greeting is this?"

"Sorry, President Guo, I made a mistake."

Guo Qing frowned: "What did you do?"

While asking, Guo Qing looked at Chen Xiao.

But Chen Xiao shook his head, saying: "This is your matter, you two resolve it yourselves, I’ll wait outside."

With that, Chen Xiao left Guo Qing’s office.

However, not long after he left, a scream, suppressed to the limit yet impossible to endure, came from the office.

The scream echoed clearly in Chen Xiao’s ears.

But just as he said, that was a matter between Guo Qing and Old Gui, to be dealt with by them.

As for him, he naturally wouldn’t involve himself in it.

After distancing himself from Guo Qing’s office, Chen Xiao found a quiet place to sit alone, contemplating how to handle the new real estate issue.

But before he thought long, he saw Old Gui appearing at the elevator with his head hanging low.

While waiting for the elevator, Old Gui took off his T-shirt, wrapping it around his bleeding severed arm.

The whole person shivered painfully.

Chen Xiao looked again, Old Gui left without bringing that half-piece arm, unsure if he or Guo Qing severed it.
