Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 174: 24 Hours Is Enough!

Chen Ding was in shock and silent for at least half a minute.

He stared blankly at Chen Xiao’s face, which had a mocking smile, and finally, unable to contain his anger, grabbed him by the collar.

"Chen Xiao, are you done yet?"

"Yes, I admit my dad bullied Uncle Chen Lie for years, and he almost hurt Xiaoxi, but we apologized, didn’t you forgive us?"

"What do you mean by that now? Do you want to dig up the grave?"

"My brother’s grave?"

"I, Chen Ding, have already lost my father and two brothers, and now you want to dig up his grave to wipe out my family!"

Listening to Chen Ding’s words, full of rage.

Chen Xiao, however, calmly glanced at Chen Ding, who was grabbing his collar with his only healthy hand.

Effortlessly removing that hand, Chen Xiao said, "I have always just dealt with matters objectively. Your dad almost hit Xiaoxi, I broke your hand, and that’s settled. As for your bullying of my parents, an apology from you would also settle that."

"But now, I am still handling matters objectively. Chen Ding, is Chen Xianzu really dead?"

Chen Ding immediately responded without hesitation: "Whether he’s dead or not, don’t the villagers know? So many people saw him enter the coffin, what else do you want?"

"I’ve already said it’s not about what I want. Of course, I won’t touch Chen Xianzu’s grave without evidence, but for the love of god, don’t let me find Xu Zaisen!"

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, Chen Ding couldn’t maintain his composure any longer.

Out of nowhere, his legs started shaking uncontrollably.

Chen Xiao sneered: "When I mentioned the dog meat restaurant, you were already uneasy. When I brought up Han Zai again, there was obviously a flicker of fear in your eyes."

"But those two things are nothing compared to the name Xu Zaisen, because Xu Zaisen is actually Chen Xianzu, isn’t he!"

"That money in ’95, it was your dad who transferred it to Chen Xianzu!"

"Of course, I don’t know why he went to the Xiangdu area in ’92, but only asked for money in ’95, but there’s no other reason other than for him."

"And when I asked if you had any regrets, you said none, but I clearly saw the hatred in your eyes. Where did that hint of hatred come from?"

"From the millennium! At that time, your company’s funds were cut off, and you hoped for someone to save you. That person was none other than your dear brother whom you raised like your own son, Chen Xianzu! However, he refused to help you!"

"You were heartbroken, you were resentful! But even so, you never forgot your responsibility as the eldest brother. Despite it all, you still put away the hatred in your heart and pretended like nothing was wrong with me, trying to protect Chen Xianzu!"

"Chen Ding, oh Chen Ding, you’ve been around the world for so many years, you’ve surely encountered more deceit and harsh realities than I have in my lifetime. But why do you still protect your unfeeling brother, when you know full well the principle of heartlessness?"

Chen Xiao’s words pierced deeper with each sentence.

Each word was a knife, stabbing into Chen Ding’s heart, leaving him pale and trembling.

But Chen Ding persisted in saying: "I don’t know what you are talking about, that money in ’95 my dad transferred, he sent it to a woman, I don’t know anything else! And for other things, I don’t know what you’re talking about!"

Chen Xiao was disappointed, but not surprised.

He knew his psychological warfare wouldn’t easily succeed.

So he patted Chen Ding’s shoulder, ignoring his resistance, and said, "You can argue all you want now, because this is just my speculation. But if I find Xu Zaisen and confirm that Xu Zaisen is indeed Chen Xianzu, have you considered what will happen to you?"

"What will happen to me is irrelevant, Xianzu is long dead, it’s irrelevant to him too!"

Chen Xiao shook his head: "Alright, even if Chen Xianzu, who was afraid to reveal himself even when your company was on the brink, refused to help you, would he go to lengths to protect you after I find him?"

At those words, Chen Ding suddenly stopped.

Although it was just a one or two-second pause, that hesitation revealed his inner thoughts.

He panicked.

He had no confidence in the brother he saw as the hope for the future!

But after just a couple of seconds, Chen Ding closed his eyes silently and said: "I really don’t know why you’re so good at spinning tales, even bringing a dead person to life. But I know you won’t stop until you destroy my entire family."

"I won’t resist, but don’t expect me to admit to things I haven’t done!"

Chen Ding regained his composure once again.

Chen Xiao didn’t care about what he said; the reason he exposed everything in front of Chen Ding was simply because Chen Ding wouldn’t have freedom for a while.

After Chen Ding was taken away, Li Hui had been waiting.

He just looked at Chen Ding, then stepped forward indifferently, showing a summons document: "Chen Ding, we are summoning you according to law, please cooperate with us and return for questioning!"

Chen Ding glanced at the document, his gaze finally landing on Chen Xiao: "I know the police procedure. If you, Chen Xiao, cannot verify what you said in 24 hours, just wait... I won’t let you off!"

"24 hours is enough."

Chen Xiao responded casually, and then Li Hui escorted Chen Ding into the car and said:

"I’ve already bought your ticket, you can pick it up directly. But Chen Xiao, can you really settle everything in 24 hours?"

"Do everything I can and leave the rest to fate. No more words, Captain Li, I need to visit Xiangdu myself to meet that Xu Zaisen!"

Li Hui nodded and finally handed the dossier with Chen Xianzu’s information to Chen Xiao: "There’s a photo of Chen Xianzu in there, though it’s from back then, I think the change from 20 to 35 years old should still be recognizable."

"Okay, I’m leaving now."

Chen Xiao said, then headed down the mountain and went back home, where Lin Xi was ready to take him to the Provincial City to catch a flight to Xiangdu.

After saying goodbye to his parents, Chen Xiao didn’t waste any time and set off immediately.

Lin Xi barely spoke on the way and drove quickly.

After finally arriving at the airport in the Provincial City, Lin Xi, who felt like he had a lot to say but only said, "Stay safe, I’ll be waiting for you to come back."

"Alright, I’ll bring you some delicious food when I return."

Lin Xi snorted, and Chen Xiao waved his hand as he walked into the departure lounge.

Not long after, the flight took off, and Chen Xiao emptied his mind, quietly waiting for the plane to land.

When he arrived in Xiangdu, Xiaoji came to pick him up.

As soon as they met, Xiaoji said: "Xiaoji Knife Man is tangled up with Lu Yuling, but Brother Chen, that Xu Zaisen has a lot of influence here!"

Chen Xiao couldn’t help but be surprised: "It’s already impressive that an outsider can establish himself here, but how does he have influence too?"

"He got married, and besides marrying a divorced woman and picking up an eleven-year-old son, his father-in-law’s business rivals his own, and is even the village chief in a village within Xiangdu City!"

Chen Xiao frowned: "When did that happen?"

"Just recently, otherwise Lu Yuling wouldn’t be out drinking, and Xiaoji Blade Man wouldn’t have had a chance."

Chen Xiao: "..."
