Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Found Her!

Liao Cheng inquired. freёwebnovel.com

The rest of the task force also looked at Chen Xiao in unison at this time.

But Chen Xiao just closed his eyes and leaned his head against the chair.

This action left everyone stunned.

After waiting for three to five seconds, someone finally couldn’t hold back.

Although the time was short, in a quiet conference room, three to five seconds could feel quite torturous.

"Advisor Chen, does your closing your eyes and leaning back suggest something?"

"Is Advisor Chen too tired?"

"Advisor Chen? Advisor Chen?"

The task force members were puzzled and began to speak softly.

But at this moment, Chen Xiao stood up directly, frowned, and said:

"Everyone, wait a moment. I may have missed something, and I need to make a call to confirm."

Everyone was completely confused.

Even Lin Xi seemed full of suspicion.

However, no one followed Chen Xiao out. After leaving the conference room, Chen Xiao leaned against the wall and thought for a while.

"Yes, I must have overlooked something!"

"Huang Zhaozhong is a very self-centered person. This stems from the fact that he has repeatedly earned greater benefits through his quick wit during his rise."

"It is precisely because of such experiences that Huang Zhaozhong always considered himself the smartest person at any given time."

"In his eyes, no one could ever be a permanent friend, which is why he harbors ulterior motives towards Wan Yide."

"But he behaves like this; wouldn’t Wan Yide do the same? Wan Yide is also a successful businessman. Would he ever spill everything, whether it should be said or not, just because of alcohol?"

"Could there be another possibility that Huang Zhaozhong was trying to extract information from Wan Yide, while Wan Yide was trying to use those words to get information from another person? Perhaps all their brotherhood is just a facade, merely a game where you test me, and I test you!"

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Xiao no longer hesitated to call Huang Zhaozhong.

The latter answered the phone immediately, as polite as ever:

"Mr. Chen, why are you calling me at this time? Is there something you need me to do?"

Chen Xiao didn’t beat around the bush and directly said, "If I remember correctly, the night you and Wan Yide had dinner, there were four people altogether, right?"

"Yes, indeed."

"Who else besides you two?"

"A guy named Fu Shun and another named Hou Yuan."

Again, two surnames almost unrelated to the case.

After a pause, Chen Xiao said, "You care so much about your brothers. You’ve surely collected some information or dirt on them over the years, right? Show me, and I’ll help you evaluate it."

Huang Zhaozhong coughed awkwardly twice, then said:

"Sure, but Mr. Chen, you must ensure that only you see it."

"Alright, just send it to my email."

After the call, Chen Xiao went to the car to get a laptop.

Before long, Huang Zhaozhong sent over the information on Fu Shun and Hou Yuan.

Chen Xiao immediately clicked to open it.

Indeed, he hadn’t misjudged Huang Zhaozhong.

To be his brother truly requires one hundred and twenty eyes wide open.

Otherwise, Huang Zhaozhong would silently keep track of how many people have stolen someone’s wife.

Chen Xiao perused the information on the two people and finally paused at the name of Hou Yuan’s wife.

"Deng Shuhui!"

After searching for so long, Chen Xiao finally found a surname related to the case!

In the previous life, the Jingguang Tomb case was reopened in 2017, and six criminal suspects were arrested.

Among those six suspects, there were two people named "Mr. Deng"!

Even though Deng Shuhui is a Ms. Deng,

wouldn’t her family possibly have two individuals named Mr. Deng?!

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao called Huang Zhaozhong again.

"President Huang, are you familiar with Hou Yuan’s wife?"

"I used to be, but after I fell out with Wan Yide, I haven’t had much interaction with the couple. His wife is a member of the Deng Family; Hou Yuan became truly successful by relying on his wife’s family."

Chen Xiao acknowledged, and his tone became increasingly serious as he asked, "When Wan Yide was speaking that day, was his head facing Hou Yuan?"

"Huh? ’Head facing up’?"

"Didn’t I ask you before, after he mentioned the Jingguang Tomb, did he raise his head?"

"Yes! Now that you mention it, it seems like... yes, his head was inclined... yes, toward Hou Yuan!"

At this moment, Chen Xiao’s heart suddenly felt much more at ease.

"What kind of business is Deng Shuhui’s family in?"

"Initially, they were into the antique business, and later they also ran an auction house. But two years ago, the Deng Family emigrated abroad, since then, Hou Yuan has been collaborating with Wan Yide, and their relationship is quite good."

"Who was in charge of the Deng Family’s affairs?"

"Previously, it was Mr. Deng, the head of the Deng Family. Before emigrating, Mr. Deng handed over the family’s business to Hou Yuan’s two brothers-in-law, Deng Yu and Deng Yue."

These brief sentences had already made Chen Xiao understand something.

Especially upon hearing that the Deng Family had emigrated, this made Chen Xiao even more suspicious.

However, Chen Xiao didn’t offer much explanation to Huang Zhaozhong, but before ending the call, he seriously reminded:

"President Huang, you’re a smart man. I believe you’ll definitely reflect on why I made this call after our conversation ends. Regardless of whether you figure out the reason or not, I hope you don’t overthink and do something unnecessary."

Just as Chen Xiao anticipated,

Huang Zhaozhong kept pondering why Chen Xiao asked about Deng Shuhui, and even speculated about the Jingguang Tomb. freёwebnovel.com

Only upon hearing Chen Xiao’s reminder, Huang Zhaozhong instantly made up his mind:

"Rest assured, I’m a person who knows how to make choices. Once I’ve chosen to collaborate with Mr. Chen, I won’t be easily swayed."

"Alright, carry on with your work."

After terminating the call, Chen Xiao started organizing all the information.

Deng Shuhui’s father and brothers all had single-character names.

The Deng Family was involved in the business of antiques and auction houses.

Two years ago, the Deng Family moved abroad entirely!

This led Chen Xiao to suspect that Wan Yide’s testing that night was probably aimed at Hou Yuan.

But later, Wan Yide and Hou Yuan entered a better phase in their relationship, so their collaboration continues to this day.

Could their partnership be a result of that test?

And did the Deng Family’s emigration stem from such concerns?

Chen Xiao couldn’t be certain, but he felt that this information needed to be communicated to Liao Cheng.

Only Liao Cheng, representing the authorities, could uncover more information!

Just as Chen Xiao was preparing to return to the conference room, his phone, which he had just tucked into his pocket, rang again.

Chen Xiao picked it up and saw it was Pan Huiping calling, a sense of excitement instinctively surfaced in his heart.

"Hello, Captain Pan, did you find it?"

"Yes, we found it. The person is indeed from Hai City and named Gao Qinfang, but..."
