Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Inside the study.

Qi Li lit some incense.

Then he instructed his elder brother’s daughter to start brewing tea nearby.

Old San, Qi Xing, was of an impatient temperament.

With these tasks of slow artistry, Qi Li never thought he could be of any help.

While waiting for a pot of water to boil, Qi Wei first sifted through the tea leaves and then asked:

"Second Uncle, Chen Xiao should be arriving soon, right?"

Qi Li checked the time and nodded.

However, there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Xiaowei, do you know what your dad is doing tonight?"

"I never really pay attention to his affairs." Qi Wei explained and then laughed:

"Second Uncle, aren’t you worried about my dad? He has long stopped concerning himself with worldly matters, and he handed over our family’s enterprises early on to my two brothers for management."

As soon as Qi Wei finished speaking, Qi Xing also said:

"Indeed, Second Brother, if we can’t find the eldest, just leave him be. He’s always been a carefree person, never bothering much about family matters."

Qi Li also felt he was being overly cautious and sighed:

"There’s nothing we can do. Something very unpleasant has happened tonight. Our biggest ally was captured."

The movement of Qi Wei, who was making tea, suddenly halted.

She asked incredulously, "Did Chen Xiao really capture the president of the Sacred Heart Church? Who could he be!"

"I only know that the president of the Sacred Heart Church was captured, but even after exhausting all my connections, no one dared to tell me the person’s true identity."

Qi Wei’s face couldn’t help but darken: "The Sacred Heart Church is the largest investor. With their president captured, what about us?"

Speaking of which, Qi Wei and the Sacred Heart Church should have been adversaries.

When she was young and oblivious, the Sacred Heart Church extorted millions from her family.

And when the Sacred Heart Church did this, she had just suffered the pain of losing her son.

Later, her husband Zuo Shu was also forced to death by the Sacred Heart Church.

She and the Sacred Heart Church were supposed to be at odds, but now they were cooperating together.

The reason was none other than this.

The pain of losing her son was not caused by the Sacred Heart Church.

The millions weren’t considered a huge sum for her.

As for Zuo Shu, there was no longer any affection between them.

Whether Zuo Shu lived or died didn’t matter to Qi Wei.

The most important thing was that she also knew that with Dragon Cauldron stationed in Li Hai, there was a huge chance of being constrained by Dragon Cauldron in the future.

If Chen Xiao always held absolute authority in Dragon Cauldron in the Guo Family, then Qi Wei wouldn’t waver easily.

But Chen Xiao was truly a free spirit, and no matter how solid his position in the Guo Family, it couldn’t give people a sense of security.

Dragon Cauldron was bound to weaken her position in Li Hai in the future.

Moreover, Qi Wei was sure she couldn’t contend with Guo Zhengchang.

So between being inevitably ousted and retaining some hope of continuing to control Li Hai, she chose the latter.

But now the president of the Sacred Heart Church was captured, and it was Chen Xiao who did it!

This immediately sank Qi Wei’s heart to the bottom.

However, when she showed her feelings, Qi Li said with a smile:

"What are you worried about? Luo’s Enterprises, which the Sacred Heart Church negotiated with us, is very mature. The loss of the president won’t greatly affect Luo’s."

"To the Sacred Heart Church, the president is more of a symbol of faith. For a company to temporarily lose its faith isn’t scary. Whether they eventually collapse or disband, isn’t that more what we’d like to see?"

Qi Wei’s eyes lit up, and she nodded at Qi Li:

"Second Uncle, you’re right. I’ve been thinking too narrowly."

Qi Li shook his head.

Just then, a servant came to report:

"Sir, a Mr. Chen is outside asking to see you."

"He’s the only one seen for now."

"Let him come directly to the study."

The servant left with the order.

Qi Li, watching the servant’s retreating figure, said with slight puzzlement:

"I don’t really understand what Chen Xiao’s purpose is in coming to us."

"What other purpose could there be? Surely because he captured the president of the Sacred Heart Church and came to show off in front of us."

"Chen Xiao is not as low as you think."

Qi Xing shrugged: "Then he hopes we will cooperate with him again. The emergence of a new land king is too much for Dragon Cauldron alone to handle."

"That’s impossible too. If Chen Xiao is someone who looks back, then he wouldn’t be Chen Xiao."

Qi Wei was also full of confusion.

However, seeing Qi Li remained silent, the group waited quietly.

But as Chen Xiao and the others reached the study door, Qi Li, who saw them first, suddenly stood up.

Qi Wei, noticing this, asked, "Second Uncle, what’s wrong?"

"Yeah, Second Brother, why do you look as if you’ve seen something alarming?"

Qi Li’s face was exceptionally grim.

He didn’t respond to Qi Wei and Qi Xing, instead watching Chen Xiao, Guo Qing, and Qi Kai being led into the study by the servant.

At the sight of Qi Kai, Qi Wei, and Qi Xing finally understood Qi Li’s expression.

"Dad!"

"Big Brother!"

"Why are you with him!"

Both exclaimed simultaneously.

Qi Kai’s expression remained unchanged as he cast a glance at his daughter, then turned his gaze to Qi Li.

With a mere look, Qi Li understood immediately, and he couldn’t help but smile:

"My dear elder brother, it seems after so many years, I still don’t know you at all."

Qi Kai also smiled slightly: "All these years, I’ve seen you working hard. As your elder brother, I need to assist you somewhat."

"You think you’re helping me?"

"Perhaps it’s not help."

"Right, why make it sound so grandiloquent."

"You’ve misunderstood me; I’m saving you, saving the family from disaster."

Qi Li laughed heartily, his eyes tearing up with laughter.

"You brought the wolf into the house and yet claim to be saving me, saving the family from disaster. Oh, brother, I’m truly unfamiliar with you!"

Qi Kai didn’t say much more to Qi Li, his gaze calmly falling on Qi Wei:

"Xiaowei, please leave with your Uncle San. I have urgent matters to discuss with President Chen, President Guo, and your Second Uncle."

Before Qi Wei could respond, Qi Xing couldn’t contain himself and shouted angrily: "No... Eldest Brother, what do you mean by this?"

"Get out! Usually when you rant and rave, no one will do anything to you. But today concerns the life and death of the Qi Family."

"If you don’t have the capability, then stay out! Here, it’s not a place you can meddle!"

Qi Kai, in an unprecedented chilling tone.

Qi Xing looked at his elder brother in disbelief, stunned to say a word.

Qi Wei seemed to understand something, walked over to Qi Xing, and tugged at his sleeve, saying:

"Uncle San, let’s go out first."

Even though Qi Xing’s face was burning with anger, his steps quickly led him out of the study.

As Qi Wei passed by Qi Kai, she bit her lip and said, "Dad, why are you doing this? On what basis do you think...?"

Before Qi Wei could finish, Qi Kai responded coldly:

"You ask on what basis? Have you not noticed your Second Uncle doesn’t have much left to say?!"
