Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Since You’re Courting Death, Then Feel It Properly!

The phone call was made.

Lin Xi never picked up.

Chen Xiao wondered if she was busy or if the mountain signal wasn’t good. freewebnøvel.com

He finally sent a text message and then focused on driving.

Upon returning to Dongzhou, Chen Xiao took Zhang Xiaohu to the supermarket, bought a big bag of snacks, and then sent him home.

Mi Qin came to open the door, holding a knitted wool slipper in her hand.

Zhang Xiaohu happily called out "Mom!" and then ran to his room with the bag of snacks.

Seeing this, Mi Qin quickly said, "Xiaohu, Uncle bought this for you?"

"Yes, Uncle is so nice, Xiaohu feels so lucky. He took me to the snack area, gave me a minute, and said however much I grabbed, he’d buy it all!"

Listening to her son, Mi Qin had a wry smile:

"Thank you, Chen Xiao. I see the bag is full of expensive ones."

"It’s okay. I did limit the time. The kids appreciate the fun more, so he’ll treasure those snacks more."

Mi Qin nodded and welcomed Chen Xiao inside, poured a glass of water, and Chen Xiao decided to sit for two minutes before leaving.

But as soon as he sat down, Mi Qin started talking.

"Last time you went to Hai City. How’s Pingping?" Mi Qin asked.

Last night at dinner, Chen Xiao noticed several times that Mi Qin seemed to want to ask him something, but she held back.

Now that she asked, Chen Xiao replied, "Captain Pan is fine, just works too hard."

"Seems she’s still the same as before! I haven’t seen her in years."

Mi Qin said and lowered her head.

If it were before, Chen Xiao wouldn’t know how to answer this question, but now, without much pressure, he said:

"I think Captain Pan might come to Dongzhou sometime soon."

"Really?" Mi Qin asked happily.

Chen Xiao replied, "Not certain, but it’s possible. But don’t tell her in advance, or she might not come."

"Yes, yes, ever since Xiaohu was born, she hasn’t been to Dongzhou. Although our calls are normal, I know there’s still a knot in her heart."

"If she comes to Dongzhou, it means she’s resolved her issues, right?"

As Chen Xiao spoke, he glanced at his phone.

He felt that it had been a long time since Lin Xi returned his call.

Mi Qin seemed to notice his distraction and asked, "Chen Xiao, do you have an urgent matter?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, I have something to attend to, so I’ll visit next time."

"Alright, drive safely."

Mi Qin didn’t insist on him staying.

After leaving Zhang Xian’s house, Chen Xiao immediately dialed Lin Xi’s number again.

This time was different from before—previous calls occasionally couldn’t connect, so Chen Xiao suspected a poor signal.

But now Lin Xi’s phone was connected, yet no one answered.

Frowning, Chen Xiao considered calling Zhang Xian to get contact information for other task force members.

Although following the task force, Lin Xi was unlikely to be in danger, this was the first time Chen Xiao couldn’t reach Lin Xi, and he couldn’t be at ease.

Just as he was about to call Zhang Xian, Lin Xi called back.

Chen Xiao immediately answered, "Honey, nothing happened, right?"

"Something did happen. We just came down from the mountains and were surrounded by victims’ families."

Lin Xi would never hide anything from Chen Xiao to spare him worry.

As Chen Xiao’s wife, she knew what she could quietly endure, but not when faced with trouble!

Chen Xiao’s eyes sharpened, "Why did the victims’ families suddenly become so agitated?"

"Not sure, it seems someone posted an audio recording online claiming that the six deceased were lured to be killed. After the families heard the recording and saw us coming down from the mountains, they demanded we immediately clear their deceased family members’ names."

"But with nothing clear yet, no one has the authority to clear any names, which agitated the families even further, leading to physical confrontation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao quickly asked, "You weren’t hurt, were you?"

"No, I’m clever. I immediately hid behind others."

"Alright, I’ll send you some information soon, take a good look at it."

Chen Xiao didn’t talk much on the phone, sent the Easter egg hunt clues to Lin Xi, and then looked up, his face now extremely serious. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

He picked up his phone and dialed a number, "Hello, book me the earliest flight to Hai City."

After the call, Chen Xiao didn’t return home but drove straight to the airport.

He didn’t inform Luo Dali or tell Xiaoji and the Knife Man.

The reason was that he went to Hai City for one purpose only—to find someone: Huang Zhaozhong!

Why seek him out?

Simple, because Chen Xiao suspected the person who incited the victims’ families to corner the task force was Huang Zhaozhong!

Chen Xiao couldn’t understand why a businessman who managed to expand nationwide with over two hundred branches would have such an extreme mindset?

Did he think achieving his goal would make the police let him go?

Unless he could gain more than he gave.

However, at this moment, Chen Xiao didn’t want to ponder why Huang Zhaozhong acted this way.

He just wanted to know if Huang Zhaozhong was behind this!

After waiting at the airport for some time, Chen Xiao finally boarded a flight to Hai City.

When he reached Hai City, three hours had passed.

He took a taxi to the Zhaolitong building.

Looking up at the building, Chen Xiao walked straight in.

Upon reaching Zhaolitong Company, someone asked him, "Sir, what do you need?"

"I’m here to see your President Huang. Just say Chen Xiao is looking for him; he’ll meet me."

The staff nodded and made a call.

Soon, the staff led Chen Xiao to Huang Zhaozhong’s office.

The latter was very pleased upon seeing Chen Xiao, stood up, and laughed heartily:

"Mr. Chen, what brings a person like you to my place!"

Chen Xiao didn’t respond, just smiled at the staff behind him, "Thank you, please close the door."

Huang Zhaozhong stopped smiling but nodded to the staff.

After the staff left, Huang Zhaozhong reached out his hand and smiled, "Chen..."

However, as soon as he uttered a word, his face changed dramatically.

He saw big hands grabbing his collar, and he was lifted up.

The owner of those big hands was naturally Chen Xiao!

As Huang Zhaozhong watched the indifferent Chen Xiao walk to the window, he couldn’t help but exclaim:

"Mr. Chen, what are you doing!"

Chen Xiao didn’t reply, but directly shoved Huang Zhaozhong out the window.

Huang Zhaozhong turned pale, looked at Chen Xiao in horror, and shouted, "Are you crazy? This is murder!"

Chen Xiao sneered, "Aren’t you courting death? In that case, let you feel the taste of death! From the eighteenth floor, you’re guaranteed to die if you fall!"

Saying this, Chen Xiao released the first finger, and Huang Zhaozhong’s eyes widened as he watched the lifted finger.

Then, Chen Xiao lifted the second finger!
