Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 402: Abandoned Infant in the Ancient Tomb!

Xiaoji Knife Man was called away by Xie Wensheng with a phone call.

He left gracefully.

Standing in the sunlight, he flashed a sunny boyish smile at Chen Xiao.

Only after his silhouette disappeared did Chen Xiao react.

He took out his phone and dialed Luo Dali’s number.

"Hey, good brother, are you free now?!", Luo Dali answered happily.

Chen Xiao said seriously: "Where are you?"

"I’m accompanying Xiaoxiu to try on clothes, what’s up?"

"Your sister-in-law is going to the Provincial City for a case this afternoon, I don’t have lunch."

"That’s easy to solve, you can choose my place or somewhere outside!"

"Let’s go to your place then, just in time to have a drink with your dad."

"Sure, my dad is at home today, why don’t you go find him for some tea first."

Chen Xiao agreed and hung up the phone, then drove to Luo Dali’s house.

When Chen Xiao arrived at Luo Dali’s place, he suddenly felt calm inside.

The reason he sought to chat with Xiaoji Knife Man was actually because he thought Xiaoji Knife Man was too young.

After all, in Chen Xiao’s team, both Xiaoxi and Xiaoji Knife Man haven’t celebrated their twentieth birthday yet.

So he was worried that Xiaoji Knife Man would be hurt by early exposure to relationships, especially with older women.

Lu Yuling is already a previous example.

Now there’s some Aili, and Chen Xiao truly fears that this young brother will never trust women again.

But cooling down to think about it, he seemed to be worrying too much.

Except for his energy, Xiaoji Knife Man seems to know nothing, yet everything, about interacting with women.

And he has a hint of being wisely simple!

Soon, Chen Xiao drove to the Luo Family.

Maybe Luo Sifu had already received Luo Dali’s call, so he had already brewed tea in the courtyard earlier.

Seeing Chen Xiao coming, Luo Sifu got up happily:

"Chen Xiao is here, sit down. Are you hungry, should I get you some snacks?"

Chen Xiao shook his head: "No need, Uncle Sifu, how have you been lately?"

"Of course, life is getting better every day!" Luo Sifu said, both sharing a laugh.

After sitting down, Chen Xiao sipped his tea and asked:

"Uncle Sifu, I heard you encountered Che Hongguang again recently?"

Mentioning this person, Luo Sifu’s face turned solemn:

"Yes, to be precise, ever since the rise of Four Blessings Appliances, I have met Che Hongguang many times."

"The difference was, he kept trying to beg me before and, after I refused him completely, lost hope and started to trip me up. Last time, if it weren’t for Xiaodao, I might really have suffered a loss!"

Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "It’s good you didn’t suffer a loss. If it really bothers you, why not kick him out of Dongzhou Electrical Store altogether."

Luo Sifu looked at Chen Xiao and laughed: "No no no, some opponents aren’t suitable to be directly taken out. Keeping him around slowly can both achieve the effect of hitting him and serve as a warning to others!"

"Every industry will never lack opponents. If we crush one Che Hongguang, a second one will appear. So when a new opponent emerges, we support Che Hongguang a bit, let him eat them up, and then we suppress him!"

"That’s called storing strength, borrowing strength to strike."

After hearing Luo Sifu’s last sentence, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but think of Chen Xu!

Could he also treat Chen Xu according to Luo Sifu’s method?

Sure enough, the older, the wiser!

As Chen Xiao was thinking, Luo Sifu suddenly asked: "Chen Xiao, you asked about him, is there another reason behind it?"

"No, Uncle Sifu, you are an elder. If someone bothers you, I definitely would ask about it." Chen Xiao cleared his mind.

Luo Sifu laughed: "Don’t worry about these small things, you are someone who does big things. In just two or three days, you’ve done such big good deeds for us in Dongzhou! Let me tell you, some time ago, when your dad and I went to Songshanping, your hometown folks said they want to build a merit monument for you."

"But your dad, fearing ostentation, refused it immediately, saying although the Lobster Base provides a way for locals to earn money, it’s far from a merit."

Chen Xiao nodded repeatedly.

He particularly doesn’t like ostentation.

However, in the countryside, building merit monuments isn’t uncommon.

For instance, if someone suddenly builds a cement road for the village, villagers might erect a monument in gratitude.

Now Chen Xiao built a base, allowing many people in Songshanping and even Lanshan County to have a new way to earn money, so it’s reasonable for people to want to praise him.

But the Lobster Base is just at the initial stage, making such talk premature.

If it truly helps people prosper, and someone brings it up again, Chen Xiao feels it’s his achievement, no need to hide it.

"Uncle Sifu, my dad is right, since the matter isn’t complete, it’s better not to make it widely known." Chen Xiao said with a smile.

Luo Sifu nodded sincerely: "You’ve matured quite a lot, unlike Dali. If he faced such matters, his tail would surely be in the clouds."

"Dali is doing well now too; in two days, he and Ye Xiu are going to get engaged."

Upon hearing this, Luo Sifu laughed heartily, eyes filled with a sense of life’s fulfillment.

However, speaking of this topic, Luo Sifu hesitated a bit and asked:

"Speaking of Dali’s engagement, Chen Xiao, I have something to ask of you."

"Go ahead."

"I want to invite Guo Zhengchang, Mr. Guo, over for a drink of wines, to thank him for cultivating Dali! Without him taking Dali under his wing and nurturing him earlier, where would Dali have his business acumen!"

Chen Xiao replied: "Alright, I’ll talk to him, but I can’t be sure about his availability."

"Why don’t you call him now and check? If there’s sufficient time, he can plan ahead."

As Luo Sifu spoke, Chen Xiao walked aside and dialed Guo Zhengchang’s number.

"Hey, Chen Xiao, your call comes at the perfect time, I was just about to contact you!"

Guo Zhengchang’s words made Chen Xiao curiously ask: "Mr. Guo, is there something going on?"

"I took the morning flight back to the Provincial City and heard something upon return; do you know about the Provincial City reopening investigation into the Jingguang Tomb case?"

Guo Zhengchang inquired, and Chen Xiao replied: "I know, Xiaoxi might be heading to the Provincial City’s task force this afternoon."

"What? Xiaoxi is already confirmed in the task force?"

Guo Zhengchang expressed surprise.

Chen Xiao replied: "Mr. Guo, you aren’t worried about this too, are you?"

"Well, it’s kind of redundant. When I heard this news after getting back, I contacted a friend. Initially, I planned to dine with him tonight and finalize Xiaoxi’s position in the task force."

"After all, Xiaoxi has the capability, she just needs an opportunity to shine. I didn’t expect her to have already drawn attention with her competence!"

Although Guo Zhengchang was a bit embarrassed on the other end, Chen Xiao felt deeply moved.

This elder’s involvement in his affairs can no longer be summarized in a few words.

"Mr. Guo, thank you, each time our matters concern you."

"Let’s not talk about this, since Xiaoxi is in the task force, I won’t mention it tonight; let’s just gather as friends. Besides, the year the Jingguang Tomb incident happened, I heard something."

"Okay, what did you hear?"

"Below Jingguang Tomb lies a village called Jingguang Village; on the night the Jingguang Tomb was discovered with issues, an abandoned baby was found at the tomb’s robbery entrance. That abandoned baby now lives in Jingguang Village!"
