Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Deformed Foot!

"No, I’m waiting for you."

Qu Ruogu’s voice came from inside the door.

Being informed of the plan by Chen Xiao on the way, Liu Dayou sneered, "I knew it was him!"

Chen Xiao glanced at Liu Dayou and said, "It’s a pity we didn’t bring more people this time. It would have been better to bring Dali and Xiaoji Knife Man."

"Brother Chen, don’t worry, I’m enough to handle him alone."

Chen Xiao sighed inwardly.

Dayou seems enigmatic only when he’s doing professional work; other times, he’s somewhat hard to describe.

Chen Xiao didn’t say much, and Qu Ruogu opened the door at that moment.

As soon as he opened the door, seeing only Chen Xiao and Liu Dayou, he couldn’t help but frown.

But before he could say anything, Chen Xiao grabbed Qu Ruogu’s shoulders and pushed him into the room, while Liu Dayou quickly closed the door.

Qu Ruogu frowned and said solemnly, "Advisor Chen, what’s the meaning of this forcefulness?"

"Professor Qu is truly unaware of me; if I were using force, your shoulders would have shattered."

"Is that so? Looks like Advisor Chen has quite strong limbs!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao exerted a slight force with his foot, and the floor tile immediately cracked.

Then Chen Xiao took out money and placed it on the table, "The tile will be repaired tomorrow; we can’t let the public suffer. After all, if handed over to Professor Qu, I’m afraid you’d say it was already broken when you came."

Qu Ruogu’s face turned somewhat ugly, frowning, "You seem like a hooligan to me!"

Chen Xiao was overjoyed, "Hey, don’t say it, really don’t say it... I used to be a hooligan!"

Liu Dayou nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, Brother Chen was once the tyrant of Dongzhou Phoenix Street, known as the bully leader of the lady cop’s family!"

Speaking, Liu Dayou realized, "I get it, Brother Chen! This old guy frowned when he saw just the two of us; he expected Sister-in-law to be worried about us causing trouble and would’ve come along!"

Chen Xiao hummed, "After all, ginger gets spicier with age, and with Xiaoxi being an officer in the task force, Professor Qu naturally wouldn’t worry about anything happening to him. But Professor Qu underestimates my and Xiaoxi’s married bond."

"Exactly, my wife is the best woman in the world. She would never stop my brother from doing anything!"

Listening to their words, concern appeared in Qu Ruogu’s eyes.

"Advisor Chen, have you misunderstood something? Indeed, I was in contact with the unit, and then they notified the task force. I just received a call from the unit, saying they were inviting your six-fingered friend to cooperate for questioning."

"You’re a consultant with the police; you should know it’s just questioning, nothing serious."

Chen Xiao laughed and agreed, "Of course I know these things, but I’m curious why Professor Qu, clearly knowing earlier, wasn’t willing to tell us directly. Had he done so, I would have personally escorted my friend to the police for cooperation."

"You see, the misunderstanding lies here. I only remembered after returning that during an archaeological dig in ’98, we encountered a male corpse with six fingers. Six fingers are largely hereditary, so that’s why it came to mind."

Qu Ruogu’s explanation was quite reasonable.

But Liu Dayou got agitated, rolling up his sleeves, "Bro, what are you wasting words with him for. You’re just a consultant; anyone can take your place. Now, we’re brothers wronged, all thanks to this old guy, hitting him is the way to vent!"

"What are we waiting for? Since your wife is asleep in the car, Dayou... hit him!"

Chen Xiao grabbed Qu Ruogu’s collar, raising his fist resembling a sandbag, ready to swing down on Qu Ruogu.

Qu Ruogu never anticipated such a scene.

He indeed had some hidden thoughts.

It was because in the ancient tomb, Chen Xiao’s persistent questioning made him uncomfortable.

He thought Lin Xi would surely come along.

As a police officer, especially as one with a bright future, would allow their family to act so recklessly?

Moreover, Chen Xiao himself is an advisor to the police!

Could he really defy the law?

Could he be so unreasonable?

Could he have such a... big fist?

Qu Ruogu felt that if the fist struck down, he would be half-dead at least.

At that moment, Qu Ruogu seemed to awaken his body’s potential, dodging Chen Xiao’s punch miraculously!

Liu Dayou stood there originally yelling.

But upon seeing Qu Ruogu dodging nimbly, he was wide-eyed.

But the astonishment only lasted a blink, and Liu Dayou’s heart surged with immense joy.

Chen Xiao squinted at Qu Ruogu, involuntarily exclaiming:

"Professor Qu, impressive skills!"

Qu Ruogu kept frowning, his face full of displeasure.

"So, according to Advisor Chen, I must wait here to be beaten up by you?"

Saying this, Qu Ruogu tidied his clothes, "Advisor Chen, today either you beat me to death, or you give me an explanation!"

Leaving this sentence, Qu Ruogu headed directly to the door.

Chen Xiao immediately lifted a leg, but Qu Ruogu’s leg, previously broken, nimbly avoided at this moment.

However, Chen Xiao used his toe to kick off Qu Ruogu’s shoe.

With his shoe kicked off, Qu Ruogu could only step on the floor.

Chen Xiao stared at that foot, his eyes revealing shock bit by bit.

Qu Ruogu’s foot was actually arched.

Even saying arched doesn’t quite capture it.

His foot resembled those of women who bound their feet in ancient times!

Of course, Qu Ruogu’s foot wasn’t that extreme, just somewhat deformed! fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Chen Xiao stared at Qu Ruogu’s foot, and upon realizing, the latter shouted as if humiliated:

"Advisor Chen, isn’t that enough?"

Chen Xiao grinned, "Professor Qu’s legs are obviously so flexible, why weren’t you walking properly?"

Qu Ruogu didn’t bother to answer, only going to open the door.

But once he opened the door, he saw Lin Xi.

Qu Ruogu sneered, "Officer Lin, you and your husband are quite interesting."

"Sorry, Professor Qu, but I need to question you now." Lin Xi also noticed Qu Ruogu’s foot, and spoke seriously.

Lin Xi’s words were clever.

Not asking Qu Ruogu to cooperate with the investigation but the questioning.

Qu Ruogu instantly froze, asking, "Question me? Reason?"

"It’s related to the Jingguang Tomb case; once you arrive at our task force, you’ll understand why I’m questioning you. Besides, you and the deceased Ye Jiadong were teacher and student, weren’t you?"

This statement left Qu Ruogu speechless.

He could only silently walk out the door.

Lin Xi turned to look at Chen Xiao, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Chen Xiao felt the same.

When Qu Ruogu’s true ability with his legs was tested, his suspicion undoubtedly increased.

And when Qu Ruogu’s deformed foot was exposed, his suspicion rose to the peak.

Because Chen Xiao could immediately tell it was possibly caused later, not innate!

But Qu Ruogu’s reaction made his intense suspicion suddenly drop dramatically!
