Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 716: Finally Appeared!

  • Next Chapter

In Chen Xiao’s mind.

The case has reached a point where it’s necessary to consider all factors together.

Although since Dou Zhihai’s sacrifice, the Sang family’s father and son have not entered the picture again.

But this does not mean that they will be forgotten.

After a brief pondering, both Cao Xiuyuan and Sun Zhou agreed with Chen Xiao’s suggestion.

However, when Chen Xiao brought up the Sang family father and son, Cao Xiuyuan and Sun Zhou also developed new doubts:

"Regarding Sang Yupeng and his son, to be honest, whether it’s me or Old Sun, we’ve asked all the questions and investigated all the matters, there really isn’t anything else to check anymore."

"I know, even their relationship, we have always been investigating. But now, we have a new direction."

Chen Xiao explained, but Cao Xiuyuan and Sun Zhou were puzzled.

"What new direction?"

"I remain unwavering in my previous assumptions about the suspect’s identity!"

Cao Xiuyuan immediately raised an eyebrow: "You mean to compare the relationship between the Sang family father and son, Director Ye and his son, and Gao Zhun and his son?"

"Yes, Sang Xiaoming is a very important figure in our previous assumptions."

"Our subsequent analysis of the case shifted the focus to the family of two policemen from Xiaozhuang South Town Police Station. Although individual investigations reveal no problem with any of them, would investigating them together yield any unexpected discoveries?"

Chen Xiao’s words led both Cao Xiuyuan and Sun Zhou into deep thought.

Moreover, their contemplation was not brief.

Chen Xiao did not know what they were thinking, and just at that moment, his phone rang from his pocket.

Seeing it was Guo Qing, Chen Xiao remembered today was the bidding day.

After whispering a word to Qin Fei, he immediately went outside to answer the call.

"Hello, Old Guo, how are things going?"

Chen Xiao asked, and on the other side of the phone, Guo Qing’s tone was very somber.

"Not very good, the bidding has already started, President Xin and I have had many meetings and thought there weren’t any major issues. But upon arrival at the venue, the Luo Family is calm and collected."

Chen Xiao couldn’t help but frown: "How’s the Qi Family doing?"

"Since Mr. Qi Kai took charge of the Qi Family, he has been completely cooperating with us, and Qi Wei’s Li Hai is the same way. Logically speaking, with Dragon Cauldron, Qi Family, Li Hai, and Yun Shan joining forces, the Luo Family shouldn’t stand a chance, but when they look at us, it seems like they are sure to win."

Chen Xiao didn’t speak for a moment.

He knew that the competition for new land depends on who has more robust funds.

Dragon Cauldron has gathered almost all its strengths.

The Luo Family is already a giant, and under Xiao He’s instruction, the Zhuang Family has also become their ally.

In terms of strength, Dragon Cauldron is actually slightly stronger at the moment.

However, Dragon Cauldron does not have very strong local ties, whereas the Luo Family is a longstanding enterprise rooted in Shencheng City.

So in this back and forth, they are quite evenly matched.

If at this time, a new strong force joins the Luo Family, then Dragon Cauldron’s competitiveness will be greatly reduced.

However, Chen Xiao’s main concern now isn’t whether the Luo Family has any hidden stratagems.

It’s Guo Zhengchang, and Xiaoji and Black Cat, will they show up!

"Have you contacted Grandpa Guo?"

Chen Xiao asked.

Guo Qing sighed: "I have contacted him, but it’s still the same as before, no one answers the phone."

Things have come to this point, and Chen Xiao has no other solutions.

Guo Qing also understood that Chen Xiao had put in his utmost effort, so after speaking, he instinctively comforted:

"Don’t worry too much, as long as we have done our best, Grandpa won’t blame the two of us."

Chen Xiao smiled and agreed: "Whether it succeeds or not, after the bidding ends, you need to host President Xin well."

"Of course, as long as we have business in East Province, establishing connections with people like President Xin wouldn’t be a bad thing."

With that, Guo Qing had nothing more to add.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao also hung up the call on the pretext.

Qin Fei came out and immediately noticed his poor expression. Having linked it to Guo Qing’s call, his face showed shock:

"It can’t be, Chen Xiao, I even invited Sister Xin Di, is Shencheng City really so deep?"

Whether Shencheng City is deep or not, Chen Xiao had already come to know.

Back then, when it was Yang Lake’s land, Chen Xiao had helped Dragon Cauldron obtain it by using reputation to his advantage.

Otherwise, fighting head-to-head with Li Hai could very well have resulted in a loss.

Now the new land king is said to be double Yang Lake, you can imagine how big a piece of pie this is, few would willingly let go.

Chen Xiao sighed: "Luo Family has more tricks up their sleeves, in business competition, the worst fear is that the enemy is in the dark while we are open. When you’ve played all your cards, the opponent still has an ace hidden."

Qin Fei couldn’t help but tap his forehead: "True, every place has its local big shots. Sister Xin Di often tells me, there is always a mountain beyond the mountain, a sky beyond the sky."

With that, Qin Fei patted Chen Xiao’s shoulder, suggesting he shouldn’t be too preoccupied.

Right now, they still have more important matters to attend to.

Chen Xiao understood and nodded.

But as he was about to turn back to the police station, Guo Qing’s call came again.

Whether it was psychological reasons or Guo Qing’s subsequent call was beyond expectation, however he listened, Chen Xiao felt urgency in his tone.

As if there was important news to be conveyed!

Chen Xiao answered immediately, and heard Guo Qing’s delighted laugh on the other side:

"They’ve come, Chen Xiao, they’ve come! Your good buddy Xiaoji, and that little beauty Black Cat, they’ve brought our reinforcements!"

"You’re really too clever, you’ve predicted it all!"

"Xiaoji and Black Cat weren’t taken away by any evildoers, they were invited by my Grandpa!"

"After who knows what they were busy with, they’ve brought a major business leader from the East Province to help us secure the new land. Even someone like President Xin lowered his stance and called him uncle!"

Chen Xiao’s heart was full of joy: "What about Grandpa Guo?"

"Grandpa didn’t come, but Xiaoji and Black Cat are here, they said you’ll see him soon!"

Chen Xiao didn’t continue listening to Guo Qing, his peripheral vision caught sight of a seemingly familiar figure at the police station entrance the moment Guo Qing spoke.

It was an elder.

No one was supporting the elder.

Just leaning on a cane, quietly looking in the direction of him and Qin Fei.

Chen Xiao turned around, seriously considering the elder at the police station entrance, his face gradually breaking into a smile.

Qin Fei followed his gaze, immediately wearing a face of disbelief:

"My God, Mr. Guo, how could he be here!"

Indeed.

The long-absent Guo Zhengchang didn’t appear in Shencheng City but sent Xiaoji and Black Cat instead.

So, why did he come to Xiaozhuang South Town!
