Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 390: The Auspicious Rite Must Go On!

Chen Xiao looked at the large group of people arriving and immediately turned his gaze to Qiu Huasheng.

The latter simply seemed indifferent, detached from the situation.

Chen Xiao sighed, knowing it was a moment he could no longer avoid.

Especially when he saw Pan Huiping at the back of the crowd, Chen Xiao felt even more resolute.

Quickly, that group of people walked right up to Chen Xiao.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, President Qiu." A middle-aged man in the front extended his hand proactively.

Qiu Huasheng had met the visitor before, so he wasn’t unfamiliar, and shook his hand with a smile:

"I never imagined Director Zang would come personally."

Zang Xian firmly shook Qiu Huasheng’s hand, saying: "Upon hearing that the perpetrator was caught, I came right away. President Qiu, it’s truly regrettable that such incidents occurred in the Celestial Valley District!"

At this moment, Qiu Huasheng’s attitude wasn’t very distinct.

He just slightly shook his head, then lowered his head silently.

Zang Xian observed this, shifting his gaze to Chen Xiao: "Mr. Chen, you’re indeed worthy of the title ’Detective.’ It seems any challenging case is resolved to its right end when you’re in charge! But the Criminal Investigation Team isn’t quite the place for discussions. Why don’t you and President Qiu come over to our district for a chat?"

Chen Xiao shook his head: "How about we chat in the meeting room of the Criminal Investigation Team?"

Zang Xian seemed to understand the hint, but didn’t insist: "Alright, I’ll have someone tidy up the meeting room, and we can meet in ten minutes to talk."

"Okay!"

Chen Xiao readily agreed.

After Zang Xian left with his people, Chen Xiao approached Pan Huiping.

But before he could say anything, Pan Huiping spoke up:

"Mr. Chen, before making any decisions, there’s no need to consider me. You’ve significantly aided me by solving this case."

Looking at Pan Huiping’s sincere and indifferent expression.

Chen Xiao turned to Qiu Huasheng, saying:

"President Qiu, how do you think we should handle this situation now?"

"I’ll follow your lead."

"Good, do you trust me, President Qiu?"

Qiu Huasheng nodded, but Chen Xiao saw no desire in his eyes.

This man, as if he had said, was filled with despair and loss.

Such a mindset wouldn’t ignite any excitement for anything.

At least, not for a long period.

Chen Xiao didn’t comfort him, directly saying: "I want to take you to see my hometown."

Upon hearing this, a trace of melancholy flickered in Pan Huiping’s eyes.

But she quickly lifted her head, full of relief.

"However, before heading to Dongzhou, I hope you’ll have a good chat with the leaders in the Celestial Valley District, considering it from a business standpoint."

Qiu Huasheng frowned: "You mean to say, let me go alone?"

"Yes, because whether I go is not important. They’re only enthusiastic about me because of President Qiu’s words."

Qiu Huasheng naturally understood the key aspect.

Chen Xiao helped him, and he wanted to return the favor.

But Chen Xiao now considered his friend Pan Huiping!

The approach to untying a knot requires the person who tied it, and the best candidate to confront those district leaders is undoubtedly Qiu Huasheng.

Without much consideration, Qiu Huasheng headed toward the meeting room.

Once he left, Pan Huiping said: "Chen Xiao, you truly don’t need to consider me."

Chen Xiao smiled lightly: "I don’t want any regrets in anything, unless in Captain Pan’s heart, I’m not considered a friend."

"Of course, you’re a friend!" Pan Huiping instinctively replied.

"Since we’re friends, what’s there to say? Besides, I’m allowing Qiu Huasheng to make his evaluations. You can see his current state; he’s a wealthy overseas Chinese businessman, and I just introduced Miss Dai."

"The main point is, I don’t want my business with Miss Dai to involve the Qiu Family...," Chen Xiao said, lowering his voice.

Pan Huiping suddenly understood.

Dai Hong’Er chimed in with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Chen has a very mature business mindset, and he can keenly identify cooperation risks. Although Qiu Huasheng appears indifferent now, who can guarantee that once we succeed, he will remain so calm in the face of great profits?"

People change.

This is something Chen Xiao firmly believes.

Qiu Huasheng cannot remain forever immersed in the sorrow of losing his wife and daughter.

Once he emerges from sadness, there’s a high probability that Qiu Huasheng will again be a formidable businessman.

No business without deceit!

After hearing Chen Xiao’s and Dai Hong’Er’s words, Pan Huiping solemnly said: "I can hardly remember what you have said to me, but here’s wishing both of you great success in your ventures, and building a truly national business!"

Finishing, Pan Huiping continued her interrogation work.

Dai Hong’Er, feeling lighthearted, laughed and said: "People say life is full of surprises, and I never expected Mr. Chen to become my greatest surprise!"

"Well...," Chen Xiao was about to speak, but Lin Xi’s call came in unexpectedly then.

After apologizing, Chen Xiao stepped aside to answer the call:

"Hi, hubby, what on earth are you doing in Hai City? Do you know the city leadership has just personally come to see me!"

Chen Xiao feigned surprise with an "Ah," and Lin Xi grumbled:

"Did Director Zhang sell you out again? It seems the leadership wants to know when you’ll be back home and hopes to meet you upon your return!"

Chen Xiao had to explain the investment business to Lin Xi once more.

After listening, Lin Xi said with amazement: "I knew it, these matterly and undoubtedly came from Captain Pan discussing it with Director Zhang, then Director Zhang immediately approached the higher leadership."

"Director Zhang very much wants to help the two of us, so when such matters arise, he’s naturally quick to step in and assist."

"But truthfully, the biggest beneficiary is me. I’ve never had the chance to meet those high-level leaders before!"

Lin Xi is so smart, how could she not understand Chen Xiao’s objectives in all this.

Chen Xiao chuckled and said: "But my wife also stayed up late to help find clues, isn’t that right?"

"Oh, as a wife, naturally I want to share more of my husband’s burdens, but let’s not speak these words over the phone. Can you tell me when you’re coming back?"

Chen Xiao thought and replied: "If not tomorrow, then the day after. I need to take Qiu Huasheng with me."

"Right, I’m off the day after tomorrow, so I’ll accompany you. Then, hubby...,"

Lin Xi hesitated, Chen Xiao asked: "What’s wrong?"

"The matter of ’Ten Demon Sons’ still has no answer, so we shouldn’t forget Dayou’s divinations, the happiness rush must not stop!"

Chen Xiao laughed heartily: "Then wait at home for me, when I return, we’ll rush for happiness!"

After speaking, Chen Xiao’s expression suddenly changed, exclaiming: "Not good."

"What’s wrong?"

"I left Dayou in Xiuzhou!"
