Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 389: A Place Filled with Despair and Loss!

Dai Hong’Er is a girl with a keen sense for business opportunities.

Unfortunately, when she returned from graduating, ready to engage in legitimate work, her family could no longer fully support her.

However, in Dai Hong’Er’s opinion, these things didn’t seem that important.

Money.

It could probably be found if you just look hard enough.

But someone who can guide her in business without deviating from the right path is more important to Dai Hong’Er.

Looking at Dai Hong’Er filled with expectation, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but smile wryly:

"Miss Dai, do you trust me that much?"

"Who would doubt the integrity of a detective who can help find the truth for the wrongfully murdered?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao did not immediately reply.

He thought of Qiu Huasheng at this moment.

The latter had once told him that as long as Chen Xiao could find the truth and catch the murderer,

he could point to any place on the map.

Wherever Chen Xiao pointed, he would go there to invest.

Moreover, as long as the amount was within Qiu Huasheng’s capacity, it wouldn’t be an issue!

Chen Xiao felt that if Qiu Huasheng kept his word, he could bring Dai Hong’Er along.

Collaborate for mutual benefit!

"What Miss Dai said, I will seriously..."

Chen Xiao hadn’t finished when Xiaoji’s call came in.

Looking at it, Chen Xiao answered:

"What’s up?"

"Brother Chen, did you make any agreement with Qiu Huasheng?"

Chen Xiao hummed, "Yes, there’s an agreement."

"I knew it! Qiu Huasheng just accepted an interview with a Hai City media outlet, where he directly said that as long as Brother Chen you caught the murderer of Qiu Tingfang, all his upcoming business plans would be up to you."

"And Brother Chen, you know what? Just now, a lot of people came to the hotel we’re staying at, and the leaders from Celestial Valley District were extremely enthusiastic towards me!"

Chen Xiao immediately laughed, "Is it that exaggerated?"

"That’s exactly how exaggerated it is, but I don’t know why they didn’t call you. Could it be Captain Pan didn’t give it?"

Xiaoji said puzzledly, Chen Xiao asked, "They should have asked you for my contact info, right?"

"Yes, although they were very enthusiastic towards me, I casually cleared that their attitude towards me all depends on Brother Chen you. So, I didn’t dare to presumptuously give them your contact info."

"Hmm, forget it for now."

Chen Xiao said with a smile, then hung up the phone.

Dai Hong’Er looked at him eagerly, saying, "Mr. Chen, you’re impressive; others exhaust their brains thinking of ways for investments, yet you’ve secured one in just a day’s time in Hai City!"

Chen Xiao looked at the road ahead and asked Dai Hong’Er a question:

"Miss Dai, what do you think of Provincial City in Jiang Province and Dongzhou?"

Dai Hong’Er was also a smart person and immediately understood Chen Xiao’s meaning.

"Provincial City in Jiang Province is obviously not as rich in commercial ambiance as Hai City, but it’s also a prosperous city, very suitable for investing in factories."

"Then if you had to choose between Provincial City and Dongzhou, where would you choose?"

"If it were me, I’d choose Provincial City. Of course, it also depends on which place offers more support! Less prosperous places mean lower personnel costs. Besides, if I were to choose those three projects, except for real estate, the other projects need to accumulate slowly, you can’t eat a fat person in one breath."

Chen Xiao nodded approvingly, "Miss Dai indeed has unique insights!"

"So, Mr. Chen is willing to cooperate with me and hopes I go to Dongzhou, right?"

Chen Xiao indeed chose Dongzhou.

Because that would be beneficial to Lin Xi!

As long as Chen Xiao could bring more benefits to Dongzhou, it would mean more people from the higher-ups would know of Lin Xi.

And that would make Lin Xi’s path to promotion more smooth!

But if Chen Xiao directly left Hai City with Qiu Huasheng to Dongzhou,

he would surely offend a large number of people.

Chen Xiao weighed up, whether offending those people or bringing benefits to Dongzhou would yield him more.

Thinking it over, Chen Xiao still felt that the latter was more suitable.

Moreover, Qiu Huasheng wasn’t something he resorted to base means to obtain.

He achieved it openly and with strength.

The only downside was that it did no good for Pan Huiping.

Because she wasn’t the one who cracked the case, and if the investor left, Pan Huiping would surely be suspected of inefficient case handling.

Chen Xiao’s nature is that he doesn’t wish for his gains to be at the expense of friends.

So now, he’s considering finding a compromise.

Chen Xiao stopped thinking about business matters and continued driving towards Hai City.

The moment he arrived at Hai City, Chen Xiao took Dai Hong’Er to meet Qiu Huasheng.

At this moment, Qiu Huasheng wasn’t at his place nor was he taken by Celestial Valley District officials.

He was at the criminal investigation unit, kneeling on the ground and touching the cold cheeks of his beloved wife.

"Mu Rong, the murderer who killed Tingfang has been found."

"You and Tingfang must have met now, right?"

"But don’t blame her, she didn’t expect things would turn out this way. Moreover, as soon as she left, you followed; I guess you feared she’d be lonely there, right?"

"Wait a little longer, I promised the detective who would catch Tingfang’s murderer. Once I fulfill the promise I made to him, I’ll take you both home."

"You two must stay well together during this period, don’t lose each other. When the time comes, I’ll call you."

Chen Xiao and Dai Hong’Er looked through the window, at Qiu Huasheng with tears streaming down his face.

Although at first, knowing about Qiu Huasheng and Mu Rong’s relationship made Chen Xiao feel a bit chaotic.

But now he could also see that Qiu Huasheng’s feelings for Mu Rong were indeed profound.

Before long, Qiu Huasheng came out from inside.

When he saw Chen Xiao and Dai Hong’Er, he wiped away the traces of tears on his face and resumed his businessman’s demeanor.

"Mr. Chen, thank you for finding the truth for my child, thank you!"

Qiu Huasheng first bowed to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao helped Qiu Huasheng up, the latter followed up: "Additionally, I must apologize to you. I’ve already announced my decision to the Hai City media. I just didn’t expect you’d catch the murderer so quickly, so..."

"It’s okay, this matter would have to be public sooner or later, it doesn’t matter how soon."

Qiu Huasheng nodded, "So, Mr. Chen, have you made a decision? I said before, as long as you point to any place, I’ll invest there."

"What if the place I point to isn’t suitable for any business investment?"

"It’s irrelevant, I’m Qiu Huasheng, I always keep my words. And at that time in the contract, I’ll specifically mark a condition, that the Qiu Family won’t intervene in any affairs, our investments will be fully entrusted to Mr. Chen or whomever Mr. Chen delegates to manage."

Speaking, Qiu Huasheng glanced deeply again at Mu Rong in the ice coffin and said, "Perhaps after this time, I will never come here again. Because for me, this place is filled with despair and loss!"

Chen Xiao sighed a long sigh.

But before he could say anything, footsteps sounded behind him.

Following the sound, he looked.

At this moment, not far away, unexpectedly a dozen men in white shirts and dress pants were striding towards them!
