Chapter 415: Chapter 415: A Single Character, Worlds Apart!
"Wan Yide."
Upon hearing this name suddenly,
Chen Xiao’s heart quivered.
Though the surname was the same, and one character in the name was the same,
but Wan De is Wan De, Wan Yide is Wan Yide.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath, which prompted Huang Zhaozhong to ask:
"Mr. Chen, do you know Wan Yide?"
Chen Xiao shook his head with a smile: "No, the name just reminded me of a deceased elder."
Huang Zhaozhong nodded, then searched for Wan Yide’s information.
Looking at Wan Yide’s photo and information on the computer, the turmoil that originally stirred in Chen Xiao’s heart instantly dissipated.
Indeed, the difference between Wan De and Wan Yide is worlds apart.
Wan Yide in the photo gives a very capable impression at first glance.
His eyes are not big, but his gaze is sharp.
His stature is not tall, he is quite small and thin.
Just by seeing Wan Yide’s photo, Huang Zhaozhong’s eyes showed a cautious look.
Chen Xiao curiously asked, "President Huang, do you really fear him that much?"
"His father-in-law is a very influential figure in Hai City, and from what I know, those who have offended him have never been seen again in Hai City."
Chen Xiao didn’t inquire into their matters.
His concern remained on the Jingguang Tomb case.
"What was his expression at the time when he said those words?"
Chen Xiao asked, and Huang Zhaozhong, somewhat puzzled, replied: "A drunk person, what can you expect? At the time, I was trying to get him to talk, while he was slumped over the table."
"Didn’t he ever lift his head?"
"Yes, he did."
"What did it look like?"
"Like this." Huang Zhaozhong recalled a bit, then leaned back in his chair, tilting his head, eyes closed.
Chen Xiao chuckled and asked again, "How many people were there at the time?"
"Four people, at that time, the four of us were the best of friends. Ah, but time has changed everything, things are no longer the same."
Chen Xiao paused, seriously looking at Huang Zhaozhong, "Are you sure there’s nothing you’ve overlooked?"
"I cherish my life, no matter how much business I have now, how much wealth I own, if I lose my life, then all my wealth becomes meaningless."
Chen Xiao stood up, taking only a few steps before turning back to look at Huang Zhaozhong, saying:
"If what you said about Wan Yide is problematic, I will definitely bring him to justice. Besides, you’ve made such a big scene, if you achieve your goals, you should know what to do, right?"
"Understood."
Chen Xiao turned and walked out of the office.
But when he passed by the Zhaolitong employee, Chen Xiao noticed someone looking at him in shock.
As he walked, he perked up his ears to listen, it seemed someone was saying:
"It’s him, it’s him!"
"He’s the one who made President Huang piss his pants!"
Chen Xiao tugged at the corner of his mouth but said nothing and left.
As for how Zhaolitong’s employees know.
Or how they slandered him as a law-abiding citizen capable of assault.
Chen Xiao felt it was unnecessary to dwell on it.
Huang Zhaozhong stood by the office balcony, watching Chen Xiao walk out of the building, couldn’t help but wipe away his cold sweat.
Looking at his photo hanging in the office, he couldn’t help but chuckle self-deprecatingly.
He originally thought he would be a character others would fear.
At least he managed a well-known enterprise.
But Chen Xiao really came all the way from Dongzhou to Hai City to deal with him without any scruples!
"I thought of countless possibilities, but never imagined he would come so directly and brutally!"
Huang Zhaozhong sighed.
After leaving Zhaolitong, Chen Xiao continued towards the airport.
On the way, Luo Dali called:
"Brother Chen, Xiaoxiu and I are going to the Provincial City to pick up Elder Guo, do you want to come?"
"No, I’m in Hai City."
"What? What are you doing in Hai City!"
"Someone was causing trouble for the task force where your sister-in-law is, I couldn’t stand it and came over to teach him a lesson."
"Damn, you didn’t call me for something like this!"
Luo Dali raised his voice, Chen Xiao laughed: "Your top priority now is to prepare for the engagement tomorrow with Xiaoxiu. Okay... Let’s not talk more, I’ll be in the Provincial City in a few hours."
"Hmm, will you come to the Guo Family?"
"Not sure, I might visit your sister-in-law first."
"Got it."
Their conversation did not continue, and Chen Xiao hung up the phone and relaxed at the airport.
He didn’t return to Dongzhou directly but bought a flight to the Provincial City.
After landing, Chen Xiao took a taxi alone to the countryside of Jingguang Village.
Once at the location, he inquired around the village to find where the task force was staying, then went over.
Standing outside the window as it grew dark, Lin Xi was in the room working on something.
Without closing the curtains, Chen Xiao could clearly see her silhouette.
After watching for a while, Chen Xiao picked up his phone and called her.
Lin Xi just casually glanced at her phone, then continued working with her head down.
But the next second, Lin Xi looked up again at the caller ID, and seeing it was from Chen Xiao, her lips curled into a smile.
"Hey, honey, have you had dinner?"
"No, did you?"
"Hmm... I forgot, but I’m about to eat."
"Okay, then guess where I am now?"
Chen Xiao asked, Lin Xi paused: "Huh, asking that question! It’s the fifth today, are you coming to the Provincial City to pick up Elder Guo?"
"Elder Guo is having Dali and Xiaoxiu pick him up, I’m not going." Chen Xiao said, and Lin Xi sounded a little disappointed before Chen Xiao laughed:
"Turn your head and look at the window."
Lin Xi paused for a moment, then quickly turned around, seeing Chen Xiao waving to her from outside the window, her face instantly beamed with joy.
"Why did you come!" Lin Xi happily ran to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao brushed away some stray hair from her forehead, smiling: "I missed you." freewёbnoνel.com
"But I’m busy with work!"
"It’s okay, I just came to see you."
Lin Xi smiled with satisfaction.
But soon her phone rang again, Lin Xi saw it was from Luo Dali, and answered with curiosity: freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"Dali, what’s up?"
Chen Xiao was about to stop her, but Luo Dali spoke quickly, and soon his voice came through the phone:
"Sis-in-law! Let me tell you, my Brother Chen was really tough today!"
Lin Xi looked at Chen Xiao puzzled, asked: "What did he do?"
"Did someone give you guys trouble in the task force today? My Brother Chen heard about it, hopped on a plane, and went to Hai City to deal with the fool!"
Lin Xi immediately widened her eyes, looking at Chen Xiao in disbelief.
"Are you dumb? You flew to Hai City just to beat Huang Zhaozhong? And didn’t even tell me!"
Chen Xiao grinned: "You called me dumb, so dumb people do strange things, right?"
Lin Xi pouted: "Dumb, stupid dumb! The last-minute plane ticket to Hai City is so expensive, just to vent for me?"
"We’re not short of money now."
"Right, now you’re Boss Chen! Come on, while no one is around, hug me!"
Lin Xi said while leaning into Chen Xiao’s arms, Chen Xiao spread his arms to embrace her, cursing to the phone where Luo Dali was:
"You have the biggest mouth!"
