Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 184 184: Something's Off With You—Walk for Me!

Can Chen Xiao talk to Chen Xianzu?

He can't.

Because his experiences are even more unspeakable than Chen Xianzu's.

"You can think of me as someone who got hit on the head and suddenly became enlightened."

Hearing this explanation, Chen Xianzu laughed: "Not convincing, but the reason doesn't matter. There's still some bones left, and I'll take the police to find them in person when the time comes. However, it's a pity I can't tell which ones belong to Cheng Qing and which to Wan De now."

Chen Xiao quietly watched Chen Xianzu, who understood the meaning and said into the phone:

"Bro, I'm sorry, I've been enduring it all these years, and I really can't hold it in anymore, so I don't want to hide it any longer."

"Go ahead, talk, I'm feeling quite relieved now myself."

"Yeah, Chen Xiao...everything I said to you at the hotel about Cheng Qing's death is all true. But your Uncle Wan De, it was me who did it! Not for anything else, just because I didn't want my brother to bear any more, or maybe I wanted to face this matter together with him."

"Since I can remember to this day, my dad has always been a muddle-headed fool. In my heart, my older brother is the mountain-like figure! Without him, I would have been ruined by my parents' indulgence long ago. Of course, perhaps if my brother hadn't scolded me and got my thinking straight as a child, none of this might have happened."

At this point, Chen Xianzu lowered his head.

He had confessed everything he needed to.

Chen Xiao looked at him and asked the final question: "Why spare Lu Yuling?"

"You should understand." Chen Xianzu raised his head with a wry smile.

Chen Xiao nodded: "Before going back to Dongzhou, do you want to see her one last time?"

Chen Xianzu seemed tempted, but then said: "No, let's leave it at that. Tell that little devil not to be too harsh, at least don't make it too heartless when you return to Dongzhou."

"Do you want me to say something to her?"

Chen Xianzu silently shook his head, saying no more.

Chen Yao didn't ask any further, walking out of the interrogation room.

Outside, Xiaoji and the Knife Man asked what happened.

Chen Xiao didn't say much to them, but he pulled the Knife Man aside.

But just as he was about to say something to the Knife Man, Lu Yuling arrived at the criminal police unit.

She looked at Chen Xiao and said, "I heard about the incident in Zong Village and I also know that Xu Zaisen has been caught."

Chen Xiao nodded, and Lu Yuling asked, "What exactly did he do? Those bones, they're all human bones, right?"

"Yes."

"So, it means he committed murder."

"That's right, he's a murderer who's been on the run for fifteen years."

Understanding, Lu Yuling thanked Chen Xiao and then walked up to the Knife Man, seriously saying:

"Kid, it's time to say goodbye."

The Knife Man seemed nervous and lowered his head: "Sister Yu, I'm sorry."

"I told you there's no need to apologize, I wasn't taken advantage of, but I will never trust a man again in this life!"

The Knife Man was about to speak, but Lu Yuling placed a finger on his lips: "Remember my words, and don't easily trust a woman, especially an old woman like me!"

With that, Lu Yuling turned around and waved at Chen Xiao and the others.

The Knife Man watched, as if he had lost his soul.

Xiaoji frowned, deep in thought.

Chen Xiao saw the two of them in a daze and gave each of them a kick: "What are you standing around for, buy a ticket and head home."

Xiaoji quickly agreed and went to check the earliest flight.

Just as Xiaoji went to check the flight information, Chen Xiao's phone rang again.

It was a call from Zong Yuanmao.

"Mr. Chen, are you done with your work?" Zong Yuanmao's tone was calm, indicating he too was cutting off loose ends quickly.

Chen Xiao replied: "Just finished, I didn't expect an old gentleman like Mr. Zong to call me."

"I called to thank you, not only for saving my career but also preserving my family and daughter. I really ought to express my gratitude somehow, but I'm not sure when Mr. Chen plans to leave?"

"I just sent someone to buy tickets, preparing to return to Dongzhou."

"So soon? The flight to Dongzhou might be in the evening. How about I treat you to dinner tonight?"

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I have a suggestion, why don't we leave that meal for next time?"

Zong Yuanmao understood what Chen Xiao meant: "Alright, then see you next time."

"Goodbye."

Chen Xiao hung up the phone, looked at the Knife Man, and said, "What's wrong... still lost in thought?"

"Bro, I think I hurt a woman."

Chen Xiao showed a face of helplessness but he also understood how the Knife Man must be feeling.

Even though he and Lu Yuling were using each other, everything that happened between them was consensual.

If the Knife Man were a man seasoned in nightlife, he wouldn't be like this.

But he had, at most, just followed Luo Dali for some foot baths, pretending to be experienced, when in fact, he and Xiaoji were just two naive young guys.

Chen Xiao didn't plan on telling him anything else.

Boys, after all, just need more experience.

Especially since, when it comes to this kind of thing, Luo Dali is clearly more adept than he is.

Better to leave the Knife Man to Dali!

Before long, Xiaoji returned with the plane tickets.

Chen Xiao spoke to Li Hui and then returned to Dongzhou first.

On the plane, the Knife Man became much more silent.

Xiaoji was worried, but Chen Xiao signaled him with his eyes to mind his own business.

Two or three hours later, the three of them left the airport.

As they were about to hail a taxi, they suddenly heard a laughing voice behind them:

"Yo yo yo, isn't this fate? To meet even a thousand miles apart, yet unable to catch hands when face to face!"

"My good brothers, I can't believe I'm running into you!"

The flamboyant Luo Dali, wearing exaggerated sunglasses and a flashy pink T-shirt, bounced toward the three of them.

Chen Xiao perfectly avoided Luo Dali's hug, giving him a kick instead: "Since when did you become so flamboyant?"

"Flamboyant? Nonsense!"

"This is style, alright!"

Saying this, Luo Dali wrapped one arm around the Knife Man and the other around Xiaoji, saying: "So, little brothers, did you learn a lot on this trip to Xiangdu?"

Xiaoji was fine, but the Knife Man instantly tensed up.

With his keen sense, Luo Dali adjusted his sunglasses to reveal an eye, gazing intently at the Knife Man:

"What's going on with you? You're acting strange!"

The Knife Man awkwardly smiled and said, "Brother Dali, there's nothing wrong with me! I'm perfectly fine!"

"Stop right there, let me see you take a few steps!" Luo Dali removed his sunglasses, becoming very serious.

The Knife Man, confused, took a few steps. Luo Dali yelled out hysterically:

"Oh my God, you got laid, didn't you!"

People around were already curious because of Luo Dali's loud voice, staring over, prompting Chen Xiao to quicken his pace to get away.

As the leader of those shameless guys behind him, he felt embarrassed to be in their company!
