Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 158: Go, Find That Woman!

Chen Xiao felt he needed to be cautious.

Because this matter concerned someone who died for him.

So he couldn't allow himself to make any incorrect judgments.

At this moment, it's not time for Li Hui to arrange a cross-province investigation yet.

Because nobody knows what kind of relationship Lu Yuling has with Chen Yuan.

Is it a melodramatic romantic relationship? Or familial ties? Or something else?

No one can be certain.

Li Hui, seeing Chen Xiao urging him to hold off, curiously asked, "Not sending anyone to investigate, just leaving it like this?"

"No, Captain Li, if you trust me, how about I send someone over? My people aren't police officers, so Lu Yuling won't be as wary. Also, I assume Captain Li knows how to handle the news of Chen Yuan's death?"

Li Hui understood the implication: "Say no more, I get it. Indeed... you're thorough in your thinking!"

"Let's do it this way then. I'll make the call."

After finishing the call with Li Hui, Chen Xiao immediately called Xiaoji.

He only has three friends now.

Luo Dali, Xiaoji, Xiaoji Knife Man.

Although Luo Dali and the other two follow his lead, Chen Xiao truly regarded them as close brothers since that day in Xiaofeng Village.

Among the three, Luo Dali has a bit of cleverness and can occasionally remind Chen Xiao of things. But Luo Dali isn't calm enough; some matters aren't suitable for him.

Besides, the three are still in Qingxi, originally planned to return the day after tomorrow to the Provincial City to learn from Guo Zhengchang.

As for Xiaoji Knife Man, he's a reckless person.

He's direct and stubborn, doesn't overthink. Compared to brain-taxing tasks, he'd prefer if Chen Xiao simply told him who to deal with, just saying the word "cut," and Xiaoji Knife Man wouldn't hesitate.

So among the three, Xiaoji is the most suitable for this task.

He's calm, shrewd, and has a mind for strategy.

But he lacks Luo Dali's cleverness and Xiaoji Knife Man's self-preservation ability.

Xiaoji answered the call immediately, his tone filled with surprise: "Brother, got a job?"

Chen Xiao chuckled with a tone of assent: "What's wrong, sounds like you're quite suffocated?"

"No kidding, last time you called, asking us to follow Mr. Guo for learning, Dali was over the moon, but Xiaoji Knife Man and I were bewildered. Are we cut out for ski**ful negotiations like in a marketplace? Absolutely not!"

Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, I actually have a job here. I'll tell you later, then you can decide where to go."

"No decision, whoever decides is a fool! Just tell me where to go, what to do, and I'll set off now!"

"Go to Xiangdu, find a woman."

"What? Go to Xiangdu? And find a woman?! "

Xiaoji exclaimed, instantly followed by Luo Dali's odd scream from the side: "What? Brother Chen found another woman?"

Chen Xiao's face darkened, shouting into the phone: "Xiaoji Knife Man, make that fool shut up!"

Soon, Luo Dali's voice was gone from the phone, and Xiaoji became serious: "Brother, you're investigating a case again, right?"

"Yes."

"What should I do when I get there?"

"Approach her, strategize with her, delve into her!"

Xiaoji: "Brother, are you joking with me? Delve?"

"Seriously, once you approach her, you must find a way to establish a relationship with her, whatever kind you deem appropriate. The ultimate goal is to uncover her secrets bit by bit, then determine what kind of person she is."

"Got it. I'll now buy a ticket to Xiangdu." Xiaoji wasted no words.

Chen Xiao asked, "Money enough?"

"Uh... money? That's the last thing I'm worried about right now!" Xiaoji chuckled mischievously.

Chen Xiao didn't press about how much money Xiaoji had; he knew the Qingxi pilot project was gifted by Guo Zhengchang.

Luo Dali and the others are operating without investment, so they should be well-off now.

"Then set off early. I'll notify Elder Guo later. Once there, safety first; whether or not you find anything, always remember priority one is safety! If you face threats to your personal safety, don't hesitate to return immediately, understood?"

"Got it, got it."

Xiaoji answered casually, causing Chen Xiao to frown.

He was a bit worried.

Xiaoji hadn't been to Xiangdu before, and apart from his brains, he only had his agility to save himself.

While Chen Xiao was pondering, Xiaoji Knife Man spoke from the side: "Don't hang up, I want to talk to Brother."

Speaking, Xiaoji Knife Man seriously said over the phone: "Brother, I've considered it. I can feel you've strived for us to learn from Mr. Guo, a opportunity to change our lives. But Xiaoji doesn't like making money, and though I like it, I lack the brains."

"So I... I don't want to embarrass you."

Knowing their strengths and weaknesses as his close brothers, how could Chen Xiao not know?

There are some things, not because he thought it was good that Xiaoji Knife Man and Xiaoji could handle it.

After pondering a bit, Chen Xiao seriously asked: "Are you sure? You need to know such opportunities don't come often, miss one and it could be a lifetime."

"I'm sure. I'll head south to Xiangdu with Xiaoji, I can just help protect that little chick."

"Who are you calling a little chick?" Xiaoji mumbled, and Chen Xiao said:

"Alright, you two head there together."

"Thanks, Brother!" Xiaoji Knife Man happily replied, forgetting to hang up.

But the receiver still caught a series of muffled sounds; who knows what Luo Dali's mouth was stuffed with by the two.

Ending the call, Chen Xiao returned to the lounge.

Looking at Chen Ding, Chen Xiao seriously sat beside him, saying, "Do you know what to do after we return later?"

"Whatever you instruct, I'll cooperate."

Chen Ding had also calmed down now.

Chen Xiao smiled and responded, "Actually, it's just two words: confidentiality."

"I'm afraid the news of my dad's death won't be easy to contain, but it should be limited to the family and friends circle only."

"Yes, since '97, your dad hasn't had any further transactions with her, all other transaction details are normal, just manage your family circle well. Oh right, I remember you have your dad's phone, right?"

"Yes."

"Then take your dad's phone and SIM card, we better visit the communication company's service center... this has to be done in the county, let's hurry!"

Having checked Chen Yuan's account information, and discovered the issues.

Chen Xiao naturally can make an analysis based on this.

Chen Yuan seems quite suspicious.

Yet this suspicion was suddenly broken off post-'97.

Cutting off cleanly; it appears to be an emotional severance.

Yet emotions require a beginning, process, and result. In '97, Chen Yuan was fifty-something, Lu Yuling twenty-six or seven.

Looking back, the initial transaction was two hundred thousand back in '95.

From transaction details, it seems like there's no clear beginning, just an ending, an extremely untidy one.

This doesn't quite match the pattern of emotional entanglement.

Because compared to the first transaction's two hundred thousand, the remittance amounts for the next two transactions are significantly lesser.

So, in Chen Xiao's view, there's something seriously fishy about the relationship between Chen Yuan and Lu Yuling.

But figuring out the source of this fishiness needs more investigation, uncover it all and find out!
