“Then what are we waiting for? The chain of evidence is closed, the human and physical evidence of the source of the body has been found, what are we waiting for if we don’t make an arrest?”
“Wait for everyone behind Chen Yu Zhou to come forward. Don’t make any rash moves, the Chen family’s background is more than we both can imagine.”
I used to think that the Chen family was strange, only having some friendship with the Green Dragon Gang, how could they call the shots in Tong City and dominate both black and white. It wasn’t until a few days ago on a cruise ship that I understood it slightly.
Not only was Chen Ruhai good at business, his family was a side branch of the Yin family, once a big family name in the jianghu. After the Yin family was wiped out, the remnants of the family were scattered all over the jianghu, secretly contacting each other in private and becoming more united than before.
Now that Chen Ruhai is dead, the Yin family’s family motto of revenge will definitely prompt them to take revenge. If I cannot uproot those who have ties with the Chen family, there will definitely be endless consequences.
I smiled, “Go to Ju En Yuan tonight, order as many swallow, abalone and shark’s fins as you like, and put it on my tab.”
The policemen, who were originally looking down to collect evidence, looked up at me with incomparable surprise when they heard me say that.
Xia Gehuai gave me a punch on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Damn, the rich motherf*cker. Brothers, let loose and eat today, his treat, can’t be beaten.”
The little policeman who called Xia Gehuai Master had a different face on me by now.
“Brother Zhang, I’m convinced of you this time, I was too stupid to know that you were a great man, you’re simply a divine detective!”
The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on the right person. Qi Xiaowei, don’t look down on others with your dog’s eyes in the future.”
Qi Xiaowei licked his face and gently punched his face twice: “Brother Zhang, I’ve really punched my face this time. You’ve opened my eyes, so if we come across any difficult cases in the future, we’ll have to ask you to be our advisor.”
I laughed, “Xia Gehuai, the people under you are all from you.”
“Brother Zhang, I mean it from the bottom of my heart, Brother Zhang, please take me as your disciple.”
Xia Gehuai stomped at his a*s as he came after me, and Qi Xiaowei stumbled, comically so, making the others laugh so hard they couldn’t catch their breath.
I wanted to go back to Lu Tong to pick up Chu Xiaoxiao from work, but I didn’t expect Chu Xiaoxiao’s call to come through.
“Zhang Chao, can you come and pick me up for a while?” Chu Xiaoxiao’s voice didn’t sound quite right.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?” I was nervous, worried that it was someone seeking revenge on her.
I didn’t expect Chu Xiaoxiao to say, “Hey, don’t mention it, it’s Li Ge, come quickly.”
This guy still hasn’t died?
“Li Ge? The one who chased Chu Xiaoxia in high school, he still hasn’t died?” Xia Ge Huai, who heard me on the phone next to me, asked.
“Damn, this grandson asked Xia Xiaoxiao out through Chu Huaien, and Xia Xiaoxiao couldn’t resist his dad, so he had to go, and asked me to pick her up now.”
“Holy sh*t, B*tch beyond belief, or else buddy lend you a few people?” Xia Gehuai asked.
As soon as he asked, the others immediately echoed, “Yeah, we’ll go with you and teach that grandson a lesson.”
“Thanks for the kind words, but Li Ge is the son of Mayor Li. This man is not of good character, but he can’t afford to be offended. Don’t worry, I’ll just go by myself, it’ll be fine.”
I thanked them for their kindness and called Qingqing to send me to the restaurant Chu Xiaoxiao said.
Qingqing thought I was dating Chu Xiaoxiao and kept making fun of me, saying that it was too unethical of me to ask her to come and watch me spill my dog food. I had to tell the truth and tell her what really happened today.
“What?! That Li Ge was still pestering Mr. Chu last time? That’s shameless, we can’t just let this go, we have to teach him a lesson.”
“Come on, don’t be impulsive, wait in the car. I’ll be back after I pick up Xiaoxiao.”
Cloud Central Restaurant.
When I was in high school, this place was the pretentious destination in Tong, and guys always promised a girl that they would bring her to this place for a candlelight dinner when they had money, and if any girl was ever invited to this place, it was always enough for them to brag about it for a few years.
It’s a revolving restaurant on the top floor of the Golden Tripod building, overlooking the whole city, with a very high price tag, I don’t know if the food is good, but I’ve never been here anyway.
“Sir, sorry, you can’t go in.”
I was about to go inside when I was stopped by the waitress at the door, she pointed to the sign at the door and said to me with a leathery smile, “We require formal dress here, you can’t go in if you are not fully clothed.”
I looked at my jacket and said, “I have a dress, trousers and shoes, I’m not naked, is that not dressy?”
She still had the same leathery smile, “Sorry, formal wear is required.”
I was tired of seeing this seemingly gentle but dismissive smile and wondered how many more times this “despising the poor” act would be played out on me.
I glanced inside and there was an old man with an expensive face wearing slippers, who could get in but I couldn’t. It looked like Qingqing was fooling me when he said I was now a well-known hero in the city.
“Formal dress, right? How formal do I need to be?”
“A suit, you just wear a cla*sy suit up here. Not the way you’re dressed now, we’re a very cla*sy restaurant.” She still had that “gentle” smile.
I was speechless. A waiter is certainly not a rich person, but when they stand in front of a high-end restaurant, they suddenly have an illusion of their own status and start looking down on other poor people.
I was speechless, so I called Qingqing and asked her to buy a set for me downstairs.
I changed my suit on the spot in front of that waitress and asked her if I could get in.
“Here, this suit of yours looks a bit wrinkled.”
Qing Qing said, “It’s just been ironed and brought up from the Armani shop, so if you pick any more problems, call your manager out.”
“I… I… Please come in.”
Qing Qing rolled her eyes: “A chicken with so much guts still learns to bully others. Boss, you’re too good-tempered too, from now on you just have to be mean to such people, don’t give them face.”
I said, “Woman, I’ll call you for such scenes in the future.”
In fact, it’s not that I’m a wimp, it’s really because good men don’t fight with women, so I won’t bother with these waiters if it’s not very excessive.
As soon as I entered, I saw Chu Xiaoxiao and Li Ge sitting in the far corner, Li Ge had his back to me and was pa*sionately talking to Chu Xiaoxiao about something.
I gestured to Chu Xiaoxiao with my eyes to keep quiet, then told the know-it-all to leave me alone and quietly walked over.
Li Ge was holding a red wine and was shaking it, his eyes closed as he was enjoying it very much: “Xiaoxia, try this 82-year-old red wine. When I was on my graduation trip in France, every time I tasted a gla*s of wine I wished most of all that I could share it with you. I know that you like Zhang Chao now, but I can wait, I believe that I am your soul mate and everyone else is just pa*sing through you.”
Chu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, as Li Ge couldn’t see, she shot me a wink and said with a muzzle, “Been talking all afternoon, just this, it’s really annoying.”
