Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 495: Chapter 495: So Dominant! So Fierce!

If the Ten Demon Sons weren’t discovered.

It would be difficult for Chen Xiao to connect all of this together.

But now, in order to solidify the connection between Chen Xiao and Zuo Shu, the other side even threw out information like the Ten Demon Sons.

This forced Chen Xiao to consider all three sides together.

And when he thought about all three sides together, Chen Xiao ended up with a sudden sense of clarity.

Only, if his hypothesis is correct.

Then, was Zuo Shu’s death really for that piece of land at Yang Lake?

Chen Xiao felt perhaps it wasn’t!

He even thought Zuo Shu might not be one of the twelve high-level executives he presumed.

After all, those who had been police in Shencheng City and eventually left the force were certainly not just Zuo Shu.

The more Chen Xiao thought about it, the more he felt there might really be a big net over his head.

Unfortunately, he now has to act according to the other side’s intentions.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to know what their real objective is.

With a plan in mind, Chen Xiao stopped thinking further and quietly said to himself:

"Then I’ll await your next move, I want to see how you will put me to death!"

A silent voice.

Chen Xiao still maintained a calm and steady demeanor.

But for those around Chen Xiao, things were extremely troublesome at the moment.

After Guo Zhengchang personally took charge in Shencheng City, it took merely half a day of confrontation for him to feel the other side’s ferocity.

Guo Qing came before him looking exhausted, asking:

"Elder, if the other side makes another move, we might truly be unable to withstand their offensive. More and more small media outlets are coming forward to expose the situation, and we can’t block them all."

"Even worse, on the local forums of Shencheng City, people have already started digging into Chen Xiao’s past. Given what Chen Xiao did before, even if we wanted to hide it, we couldn’t cover it up."

Guo Zhengchang nodded with his eyes closed, but when he opened them, there was a rare firmness in his old eyes:

"I don’t want to explain much to you, I just need to tell you one sentence: Dragon Cauldron is Chen Xiao, and Chen Xiao is Dragon Cauldron."

Guo Qing also nodded: "I understand, Elder, but I want to know what the reason is for making such a decision? Is it really just because he helped our family clear Xiaoning’s wrongful accusation?"

Guo Qing’s question was quite reasonable.

After all, he is now considered by many to be the heir of the Guo Family.

But Guo Zhengchang’s attitude toward Chen Xiao’s performance far exceeded the Guo family’s expectations.

Guo Zhengchang looked at Guo Qing and asked calmly:

"Before answering you, answer me this question first."

"Ask away."

"How is your relationship with Chen Xiao?"

Guo Qing was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Guo Zhengchang to ask that.

Still, he didn’t think too much before replying:

"I’m friends with him, but we haven’t reached the point of putting our lives on the line for each other. I really enjoy interacting with him."

A very candid answer.

This response also earned Guo Zhengchang’s approval.

Yet in the next moment, Guo Zhengchang said seriously: "Maintain a good relationship with him, because you alone can’t hold up the entire Guo Family, do you understand my meaning?"

There was a sudden change in Guo Qing’s expression, but Guo Zhengchang didn’t give him a chance to speak further, he continued:

"Go and make arrangements, regardless of the final outcome, anything that can be solved with money is not a real problem. If necessary, see if you can establish contact with the Qi Family."

"If required, that piece of land at Yang Lake can also be given up."

Guo Qing raised his head abruptly.

Guo Zhengchang simply stared at him quietly and asked: "What do you want to say?"

"I understand, Elder, I’ll get on it right away."

Guo Zhengchang responded with a hum: "Business competition can be clean and fair or can involve dirty tricks. But in the end, business is still about money."

Guo Qing said no more and left.

Yet as soon as he left, a deep worry appeared in Guo Zhengchang’s eyes.

He hesitated for a long time and eventually made a phone call to Lin Xi.

The latter answered the phone immediately.

"Hello, Elder Guo, you haven’t rested yet?"

Guo Zhengchang chuckled: "Things are so chaotic right now, how can I sleep?"

He paused before asking: "Xiaoxi, you tell me honestly, Chen Xiao won’t really be in trouble this time, will he?"

A businessman at Guo Zhengchang’s level.

Often doesn’t fully believe in absolute justice or evil.

Over the years, he has seen too many people who died unjustly.

And many people who were originally more powerful than him fell from grace due to a perfect frame-up.

But on the other end of the phone, Lin Xi, though sounding tired, didn’t seem too worried:

"Don’t worry, Elder, this level of framing is nothing to Chen Xiao."

"It’s good that you and your husband have confidence! Have you met him? Is he doing alright?"

"Although I haven’t met him, Director Zhang told me that Chen Xiao is more relaxed now than ever."

Guo Zhengchang finally felt relieved and laughed:

"That’s good, if you have a chance to pass on a message, tell him not to worry about Shencheng City, the reputation he has built won’t crumble so easily."

Lin Xi expressed her gratitude, but quickly asked:

"By the way, Elder Guo, is there any movement from Qi Wei’s side in Shencheng City?"

"She seems to be busy with work all the time, but someone I dispatched seems to have recognized a familiar face."

"Xiaoji Knife Man?"

Guo Zhengchang nodded: "That boy arrived in Shencheng City in the evening and asked us for a file on Qi Wei. Then, two hours ago, he got himself hit by Qi Wei."

"Hit? Hit by a car?"

"Yes, fortunately, the speed wasn’t fast, otherwise my man would have rushed over to rescue him."

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "That’s good, maybe this is Xiaoji Knife Man’s usual trick, he should also pay attention to his safety."

Lin Xi was in the middle of speaking when Guo Zhengchang humorously interrupted:

"Considering your understanding of him, what do you think his next move would be?"

"No further contact, right? If there’s more interaction, given the current sensitive timing, it might backfire."

As Lin Xi said this, she frowned, but Guo Zhengchang burst into laughter:

"After Qi Wei hit him, she opened the car window to talk to him, intending to simply throw some money to settle the matter. But unexpectedly, that kid Xiaodao directly rushed over and dragged Qi Wei out of the car."

"What? Dragged... dragged her out?"

"Yes, my men described it as domineering, very fierce! In his hands, Qi Wei was like a little cat, directly lifted up."

Lin Xi was rendered speechless: "In that case, can he have a second contact with Qi Wei?"

"This is where you’re mistaken. After he dragged Qi Wei out, he was initially fierce, but suddenly started bleeding from his mouth."

Lin Xi felt dizzy, completely unable to understand Xiaoji Knife Man’s purpose.

Until Guo Zhengchang said seriously: "Xiaodao is a talent, a true talent! My men verified that the scene of the car collision was very similar to when Qi Wei first met Zuo Shu!"
