Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 70: The Day of the Five Elements’ Defeat

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: The Day of the Five Elements’ Defeat

Chen Xiao only realized it belatedly when he saw the date on his phone.

Where’s the calendar?

A new day had clearly arrived, so why was there no movement on the calendar?

Knowing whether the calendar had movement or not made a big difference.

Chen Xiao returned to the police yard with a sense of frustration, found a quiet spot to sit down, and desperately tried to sense the presence of the calendar.

Fortunately, perseverance paid off, and the mottled wall in his mind finally appeared, with the calendar still on it.

However, the calendar had already turned a page, clearly displaying the auspicious and inauspicious omens.

But no matter how long Chen Xiao looked, he never felt the appearance of a reward.

"Why is this?" Chen Xiao was utterly confused.

It wasn’t until he flipped through the previous pages of the calendar that he made a shocking discovery.

Today was August 9, 2006, the 16th day of the seventh lunar month.

This day was suitable for weddings, engagements, alliances, consecrations, and so on. But not for visiting the sick, moving into a house, installing beams, or burials...

The entire calendar page looked no different from before, but this day was not special.

In contrast, during the first few days of his rebirth, the first day was a Day of Parting!

The second day: a Lunar Prohibition Day.

The third day: a Little Red Sand Day!

In other words, he would be rewarded with special skills on these extraordinary days.

So, when would the next special day be?

Chen Xiao flipped through a few more pages and finally found that on August 12, three days later, there would arrive a day of Heavenly and Earthly Strife!

The name of this day alone gave Chen Xiao a sense of anticipation, but it didn’t have the major warnings like Lunar Prohibition Day or Little Red Sand Day.

Chen Xiao was unsure what might occur on August 12, but August 13 was a particularly unique Absolute Smoke Day!

Absolute Smoke Day was a day of utter defeat in the Five Elements, extremely ominous!

Both Heavenly and Earthly Strife Day and Absolute Smoke Day did not seem simple.

In three or four days, he was supposed to have arrived at the Provincial City with Guo Qing, and then go to the countryside to investigate the cause of death of the special girl Guo Qing had mentioned.

As Chen Xiao pondered, the disappointment he felt from not receiving a reward from the calendar vanished.

Just then, Lin Xi walked over.

"Why the long face? What’s going on?" Lin Xi asked with a teasing smile.

Chen Xiao snapped back, smiled, and said, "Nothing, just wondering if I missed anything?"

"If something can be missed, then the case in Swallow Lane is way too complicated!" Lin Xi teased, and Chen Xiao laughed and nodded, asking:

"What’s the update with Su Ting?"

Talking about Su Ting, a deep apprehension appeared in Lin Xi’s eyes: "In my opinion, the scariest mind in the entire case belongs to that girl. Even though she grew up in such a repressive environment, she ended up developing such a personality. She was very afraid of Su Haidong, yet while fearing him, she also harbored fantasies about him, leading to a deep-seated desire to please him."

"It’s precisely this mentality that turned her into a pretender, which led to Si Ying’s downfall."

Lin Xi’s description aligned with Chen Xiao’s suspicions about Su Ting, but the next thing she said even shocked him.

"If it were just that, it could be said that her family’s influence twisted her character. But just now, Su Ting was extremely agitated as she proved to us that she was the mastermind of the entire case. She encouraged Su Jing to tell Si Ying about the darkness in their family, and the reason she urged Su Jing to provoke Si Ying wasn’t to escape her family, but to see how Si Ying and Xi Yian would compete if they got involved!"

Chen Xiao felt a tightness in his chest as he listened: "In other words, she’s like the screenwriter and director of a film. The script and process are all outlined and directed by her, and the final outcome must align with her imagination."

"Exactly, so she’s very agitated, cursing at Su Jing and Xi Yian for their stupidity, claiming that their unauthorized actions ruined the show. Little did she know, Xi Yian was trying to protect her, and Su Jing’s sisterly love was all about extricating her sister from it!"

After hearing all this, Chen Xiao sighed: "It’s a pity that someone like Su Ting will never understand the affection that Xi Yian and Su Jing have for her; she only sees them as fools. Without those two fools, she’d certainly believe she’s the smartest person in the world!"

Lin Xi sighed along with him.

They weren’t lamenting for anyone in particular, just for the tragic occurrence of this murder case.

The couple remained silent for a while, and soon Lin Xi linked arms with Chen Xiao, smiling: "Let’s not talk about them anymore; after all, those who needed to be apprehended have been caught, and the Swallow Lane murder case is considered closed."

Chen Xiao nodded: "Yes, coincidentally, I have something to discuss with you."

"Is it about Guo Qing? I heard that person is quite complicated." Lin Xi’s eyes showed a hint of worry.

Chen Xiao, sensing her concern, said: "At the time, I only intended to gain the information he had. Later, using his people at Sha Xi Village to exhume Li Ruomei’s grave seemed the best option. Now with this series of changes, I can’t refuse him."

"Perhaps he’s hoping you’ll need his help. So, does this count as the hunter being pecked in the eye by the eagle?" Lin Xi teased.

Chen Xiao smiled wryly: "If you disagree, I can..."

"I never said I disagreed. Everything has pros and cons. Even though I don’t particularly like someone like Guo Qing, darling... if you have thoughts of leaving Dongzhou, you’ll encounter people like him sooner or later."

Lin Xi said with a laugh, causing Chen Xiao to look at her unexpectedly.

Lin Xi used to dislike him mingling with such unpredictable people, but since his rebirth, Lin Xi seemed to have changed significantly.

Seeing Chen Xiao’s gaze, Lin Xi teasingly scolded: "Why are you looking at me like that? Fine... I’ll just say it outright. He offered two million! Your wife is just greedy for money, so darling, do your best. My life as a wealthy lady depends on you!"

Hearing these words, Chen Xiao immediately understood Lin Xi’s intentions.

She actually wanted Chen Xiao not to be confined to Dongzhou, even though he had shown exceptional investigative abilities here.

But how big is Dongzhou anyway?

As a man, Chen Xiao needs to go out into the world!

As Chen Xiao’s wife and a police officer, Lin Xi is destined to keep climbing within the system.

So progressing together and eventually pursuing the same direction is what Lin Xi hopes for the most.

Holding onto Chen Xiao’s arm tightly, Lin Xi squinted up at the sun in the sky: "Go, darling. Don’t have any psychological burden, because I’m not worried that you’ll ever lose your way. If you do get lost again, rest assured... I’ll find you once more... I promise!"

With that, Lin Xi quietly closed her eyes, savoring the peace.

Chen Xiao said nothing, lightly stroking Lin Xi’s dark, beautiful hair for a very long time...
