Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 140: The Ringleader Is Your Relative!

When Chen Xiao left Guo Zhengchang's study, he bid farewell to him.

He won't stay long in the Provincial City, and he certainly won't spend the night at the Guo Family.

In the afternoon, Chen Xiao returned to Dongzhou with Lin Xi.

On the way, Lin Xi asked about what happened in the study, and Chen Xiao recounted everything in detail.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi couldn't help but express surprise, "What is Elder Guo up to? Why is he being so good to you?"

Chen Xiao shook his head, indicating that he was also puzzled.

Logically speaking, his relationship with Guo Zhengchang was that of an employer and employee.

The Guo Family paid him, Chen Xiao, to solve the case.

Once the case was solved, it meant the cooperation between Chen Xiao and the Guo Family was over.

As for the home appliances initiative, to be honest, when Chen Xiao proposed it initially, he was too impulsive.

If the Guo Family adhered to the principle of "no business without scheming," Chen Xiao might not have earned anything.

But now, Guo Zhengchang is almost going all out to help him.

Not only is he steering the effort, but Guo Zhengchang said he would only take ten percent of the profits Chen Xiao earned.

This clearly showed he was using the Guo Family's resources to funnel money to Chen Xiao.

Reflecting a bit, Chen Xiao chuckled bitterly, "I can only think of one explanation: I helped cover up that scandal for the Guo Family at the press conference."

Lin Xi nodded slightly, "That might be the only explanation, but you need to contact Dali and Xiaoji Knife Man quickly and get them back."

"I know, but I need to communicate with them as well. Dali doesn't need mentioning, he's a hundred percent onboard, Dao lacks consideration but this opportunity can temper him; without it, he'd really be all brawn and no brains. However, Xiaoji..."

Lin Xi looked puzzled, while Chen Xiao replied, "Xiaoji isn't interested in business; he's really keen on solving cases with me."

"That's really intriguing; someone like him actually has an interest in this area."

"I think with some polishing, he has great potential," Chen Xiao laughed, and Lin Xi responded with a mere "hmm."

In Lin Xi's heart, whether Xiaoji or Xiaoji Knife Man, they were all friends recognized by Chen Xiao.

Whatever Chen Xiao arranged was his business.

After a bit of arranging, Lin Xi also responded, "And what about you?"

"My idea is simple, business is for making money, and my goal in making money is to synchronize with you," Chen Xiao grinned.

Lin Xi was speechless, "You're stronger than me now, aren't you? People used to say you were Lin Xi's husband, but now they say I'm your Mrs. Chen."

"It's different, Xiaoxi. When I say synchronize with you, I mean I should also venture into your field."

Lin Xi frowned, "Do you really have thoughts about being a policeman?"

"Of course not. I think I'm good as I am. When I say venture into your field, I mean making your city the one with the fastest case-solving rate and the lowest crime rate!"

Lin Xi widened her eyes, "How is that possible? Solving cases depends not only on people but also on lots of technological expertise, especially high-tech equipment which we don't have. Plus, reducing crime rates requires unimaginable financial backing. Like surveillance, if every corner of Dongzhou was equipped with cameras, criminals would have nowhere to hide... But to reach that level, it would..."

As she spoke, Lin Xi paused in surprise, "So that's your plan!"

Chen Xiao smiled, he knew Lin Xi understood what he meant.

Indeed, after a long silence, Lin Xi spoke again very seriously, "I will strive for it; when the time comes, all the money you spent, hmph... the credit will be on me!"

"Absolutely, the money I spent is for you, so the credit should be yours. By then the most advanced forensic center in Dongzhou, it's funded by your husband. The most powerful surveillance system in Dongzhou, it's funded by me! If I'm doing it, I'll be the most powerful partner with Dongzhou Police!"

"When the day comes that you leave Dongzhou, I'll be able to follow behind and enjoy the good life."

Chen Xiao said with a laugh, while Lin Xi looked out the window and murmured, "How much would this cost, just thinking about it hurts."

Neither spoke much more.

After all, this was just Chen Xiao's vision for the future, also the most important step in his ambition for his wife's success.

The reason he chose to tell Lin Xi now was because he already had that premonition. He must seize the time and strive to let Lin Xi's Dongzhou stand out before the big trend arrives.

In that case, it would all become the capital for Lin Xi to soar in the future.

However, currently, Lin Xi was but a little police officer in the criminal investigation team, this was still far off.

Driving all the way back to Dongzhou.

Chen Xiao did not go home; he knew that his in-laws had already left yesterday.

Even his sister-in-law Lin Yao was eager to go out and make her own way, not wanting her family's reputation to weaken.

So now the home was empty, it was better to turn around with Lin Xi in the criminal investigation team since they were all familiar faces.

Arriving at the criminal investigation team, Chen Xiao went to find Zhang Xian.

The latter was busy on the phone in the office, when he saw Chen Xiao coming, he hurriedly ended the call.

"Hey, Chen Xiao… my good brother!"

Zhang Xian walked up with a big smile, but just as he was about to hug, Chen Xiao deftly sidestepped.

"Captain Zhang, behind this fiery enthusiasm, haven't you dug another pitfall for me?"

"Nonsense! Would I, Zhang Xian, do such a thing? I'm simply overwhelmed seeing the big name of Dongzhou!"

Zhang Xian looked vibrant, while Chen Xiao said seriously, "Do you have something again for me to help with?"

"Do you really have to be so stand-offish? Alright then, I'll… speak frankly to you!"

At those words, Chen Xiao sneered twice unabashedly.

Zhang Xian was unperturbed, he poured Chen Xiao a cup of tea before speaking earnestly, "In a few days, I'm going to personally bring Chen Yan over from Qingxi."

It wasn't unexpected for Chen Xiao, he anticipated it.

"Hm, how are you considering doing it?" Chen Xiao asked.

Zhang Xian responded, "I heard from folks in Qingxi, from the moment Chen Yan was caught until now, he has confessed all he should, but he hasn't divulged a single thing beyond that." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"It's quite normal. Before setting him up, I expected this would happen. So, Captain Zhang, you'd better tell me your real intention."

"I just want, once Chen Yan is brought to Dongzhou, for his interrogation to be led by you." Zhang Xian finished, and Chen Xiao smiled:

"I knew it. Your passion is not like winter's warmth to people. But, I can agree, if you do me a favor too."

Without thinking, Zhang Xian nodded, "Sure, say it."

"Help approve three days of leave for Xiaoxi; tomorrow I'm taking her to my hometown to see my parents."

Zhang Xian hesitated very little, instinctively responding, "Alright, I'll just…"

But halfway through his sentence, Zhang Xian hesitated, "To your hometown? At this time? Then I'll go with you!"

Chen Xiao frowned tightly, "What's wrong? Listening to you, something seems off?"

Zhang Xian took a breath and said, "Seems like Xiaoxi hasn't told you anything."

Chen Xiao impatiently asked, "Captain Zhang, can't you just tell me directly?"

Zhang Xian smiled wryly, "Alright, two days ago Xiaoxi and your in-laws nearly got into trouble when blocked at home, and the lead was a relative of yours!"

"Boom!"

Chen Xiao felt a buzz in his head, and the next moment he was out of Zhang Xian's office, heading straight for Lin Xi.
