Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Mr. Chen, Save Me!

"What did you say? Sacred Heart Society!"

When Lin Zumeng mentioned the Sacred Heart Society, both Chen Xiao and Lin Xi were utterly shocked.

The first time they encountered the Sacred Heart Society was during the Leigong Mountain female corpse case.

Unexpectedly, the primary suspect in the current Marquis Jinguang’s Tomb case, Lin Zumeng, also knew about the Sacred Heart Society.

"You know the Sacred Heart Society? Not many in the country know about this society!"

Lin Zumeng was similarly surprised.

"Not many, but I met someone who knew about this society. How much do you know about the Sacred Heart Society?"

Chen Xiao asked Lin Zumeng.

The latter shook his head: "Not much either, but I have met one of the twelve high-ranking members of the Sacred Heart Society, and he’s also from China. But I don’t know his name, only that he’s from Shencheng City."

After saying that, Lin Zumeng seemed concerned about being misunderstood by Chen Xiao, so he added:

"The Sacred Heart Society has three presidents, and beneath them are the twelve high-ranking members. Originally, I wasn’t interested in any organizations or societies until after experiencing that fire incident, I encountered the followers of the society, and out of curiosity, attended a few gatherings."

"The society does not charge any fees, and often appears more like a charitable organization. Of course, it might be because I didn’t delve deeply, they might have other income channels. At least, from my point of view, there’s no such good deed in this world."

"Anyway, you are indeed the first person I’ve met who has interacted with the high-ranking members of the Sacred Heart Society." Chen Xiao said, and Lin Zumeng shook his head:

"The person I met seemed quite formidable. To put it this way, even if he wasn’t a cop, he must have been one before."

"During our interaction, he seemed to be roundabout asking if I’ve done anything. Later, I didn’t dare to contact him again."

As Lin Zumeng spoke, his eyes showed a hint of apprehension.

His reaction piqued Chen Xiao’s interest, but unfortunately, Lin Zumeng didn’t know the other person’s name.

Seeing that Chen Xiao had no more questions, Lin Zumeng said: "About my earlier request, I hope Advisor Chen can fulfill it. Afterward, if I haven’t been executed, you can come to me anytime with any questions regarding the Sacred Heart Society."

"Okay."

Chen Xiao didn’t say much more and asked Lin Xi: "Did you record everything?"

"All done."

"Then for the next steps, we’ll wait for the Liao Group to arrive, and then handle everything back in the Provincial City. You come back with me to rest."

Lin Xi nodded.

She was truly exhausted.

Chen Xiao led Lin Xi out of the interrogation room and then called Su Qiu.

On the other end of the line, Su Qiu remained silent for a long time upon learning that Lin Zumeng was still alive.

Only in the end, when Chen Xiao informed her about everything regarding Lin Zumeng and asked if she wanted to meet him with Su He, Su Qiu firmly said:

"I hope you don’t tell Su He about this matter!"

"We’ve informed you, whether you tell Su He or not is your decision."

"That’s good, our mother and daughter have considered him dead for so many years, and we’ll continue assuming he died back then."

Chen Xiao didn’t say more, and Su Qiu quickly hung up the phone.

After getting in the car, Lin Xi sat in the passenger seat and said:

"Honey, I think you should pay attention to how the Lin Family and Shen Family are going to battle it out."

Chen Xiao looked surprised: "Why do you say that?"

"If Lin Zumeng is an old fox, then Shen Shuming is a young fox. Shen Shuming knew the Lin Family’s weakness all too well, yet didn’t tell you in the end, which shows he also has concerns, afraid of backfiring."

"Now that you’ve caught this weakness, it means the Shen Family will definitely take action. But when we interrogated Lin Zumeng just now, he obviously anticipated it and has countermeasures!"

"No matter what methods Lin Zumeng uses, their rivalry is bound to be intense, and if you pay attention, it might be beneficial to you!"

Often, if not for someone deliberately reminding him, Chen Xiao really forgot he was still the general manager of Dragon Cauldron and the owner of Dong’an in these business roles.

Chen Xiao chuckled and nodded: "Alright, I’ll keep an eye on it."

"Good, then don’t disturb me, and let me nap on the way back."

Chen Xiao was stunned, wondering how he was being noisy?

After getting in the car, it was obviously Lin Xi who was talking, he hadn’t uttered a word!

But seeing how tired Lin Xi was, Chen Xiao decided not to argue.

Moreover, his wife’s appearance when asleep was rather lovely.

To avoid disturbing Lin Xi’s sleep, Chen Xiao did not drive back to the hotel.

He knew that as soon as he stopped, Lin Xi would definitely wake up immediately.

So he kept driving on the road, eventually reaching the outskirts of Hai City.

Time passed, and only when Chen Xiao noticed the phone screen repeatedly lighting up did he answer in a whisper:

"Hello, Liao Group, are you here? Hmm... Xiaoxi overworked too much; she’s already asleep, and I haven’t returned to the hotel fearing to disturb her rest."

"Alright, then I’ll leave the following matters to you."

After hanging up Liao Cheng’s call, Chen Xiao sensed something.

Lin Xi was blinking at him.

Chen Xiao smiled: "Is that all?"

Lin Xi glanced at the fuel gauge: "The fuel isn’t free, you know? Driving for so long!"

"Ha, we’re just going in circles, and we’ll be back to the hotel soon."

"It’s uncomfortable sleeping in the car; let me borrow you for a nap back at the hotel."

Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up: "I knew you, my wife, are still great even when exhausted!"

"Great? I’m saying I sleep comfortably leaning on you!"

Chen Xiao laughed heartily: "Got it, let’s get you back to the hotel."

Changing direction, Chen Xiao took Lin Xi back to the hotel for rest.

After returning, Chen Xiao specifically reminded Ah Yu.

Upon hearing Lin Xi hadn’t slept for a day and night, Ah Yu almost wished to take care of Lin Xi herself.

Luckily, Lin Xi wisely sent Ah Yu away, and then comfortably settled into Chen Xiao’s embrace with relief.

Though Chen Xiao wasn’t sleepy, he didn’t move a muscle.

Only when Lin Xi shifted to one side did he get up.

He noticed it was already evening.

Black Cat had arrived in Hai City and had been a big help to him, in terms of gratitude and morals, he needed to invite her to a nice meal.

Leaving Lin Xi a note, Chen Xiao then quietly left the room.

Then he called Ah Yu and Liu Dayou and left the hotel together.

All the way, Liu Dayou was inquiring about Black Cat.

But his inquiries weren’t because Black Cat was a woman.

It was because Black Cat was a female friend called by Xiaoji!

The gossip in this guy’s heart wasn’t much less than a woman’s.

Only when Chen Xiao arrived at the restaurant scheduled with Xiaoji, did his phone ring.

This call was from Shen Shuming.

Seeing the incoming call, Chen Xiao squinted.

"What’s up, Young Master Shen?" After answering, Chen Xiao still remained courteous.

Shen Shuming replied: "Mr. Chen, I’d like to invite you for dinner, at the estate you visited last time, could you?"

"Your estate might be good for a party, but not suitable for me and my friends to dine, some other time maybe."

"Mr. Chen, how about another place?"

"No need, Young Master Shen, I’m at a restaurant with my friends now, next time then."

Chen Xiao directly rejected Shen Shuming’s invitation.

He really didn’t feel like he’d have any appetite sitting at the same table with Shen Shuming.

After refusing Shen Shuming, Chen Xiao put down his phone, but it rang again, this time from Huang Zhaozhong.

As soon as the call connected, Huang Zhaozhong’s tone was as if he was scared to death:

"Mr. Chen, save me!"
