Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 105: Lessons from the Boss

When Lou Yang exclaimed, he instinctively picked up the lighter again, wanting the painting to burn up sooner.

Chen Xiao didn’t seem anxious at all, just leaning against the door.

"No need to rush, burn it slowly. As your boss, this is the first lesson I taught you after you started working with me."

Lou Yang’s gaze hardened, and he chuckled lightly: "Heh, thanks for the lesson, Brother Chen."

Chen Xiao shook his head with a grin: "You’re welcome."

Lou Xiaodong’s face changed dramatically, and just as he was about to snatch the painting, Lou Yang kicked him over.

Only after the painting in his hand had completely burned did he finally ask:

"Why did you let me finish burning it?"

"Because for me, the content of that painting doesn’t matter."

Chen Xiao said calmly, and the vigilance in Lou Yang’s eyes grew increasingly intense.

"Is that so?"

"Of course, as an employee, you do what the boss tells you, and there’s a reason for it."

Lou Yang snorted coldly: "Looks like you’re getting addicted to being a boss?"

"Not really. I’m just following along with what you said."

Chen Xiao said as he waved his hand and walked forward.

Lou Yang said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"

"Why are you so nervous? Seeing you hit your own father, should I just stand by?"

Chen Xiao responded with the same cold stare at Lou Yang.

He walked over and helped Lou Xiaodong up.

Lou Xiaodong was about to say something, but Chen Xiao told him: "Alright, let me talk to him."

"No, I’ve taught him fighting since he was young, if you make him angry... "

"Is that so?"

Before Lou Xiaodong could finish speaking, Chen Xiao’s hand had already landed on Lou Yang’s shoulder.

In that moment, Lou Yang’s expression changed dramatically.

He instinctively wanted to grab Chen Xiao’s hand on his shoulder and throw him over.

But just as he resisted, his legs suddenly went weak, and he kneeled to the ground.

Lou Yang looked up incredulously at Chen Xiao: "How can this be?"

Chen Xiao spoke: "There’s always someone better, there’s always something higher. This is the second lesson the boss has taught you."

As he finished, Chen Xiao let go of his hand and looked at Lou Xiaodong.

The latter was conflicted, and Chen Xiao frowned: "Brother Lou, are you planning to do something?"

Lou Xiaodong closed his eyes and turned to leave the main room.

Seeing his back, Lou Yang laughed: "See, I’m just someone he can easily discard."

Chen Xiao didn’t respond to that, instead sat by the table and pointed to one of the chairs, saying: "Do you want to talk while sitting on the floor?"

Lou Yang struggled to stand, looked at Chen Xiao and asked: "If you want to show off in front of me, why not just finish me off?"

"I don’t have the same heavy malice as you, this is just a conversation, after it’s over, the choice is still yours."

Lou Yang couldn’t figure out what Chen Xiao was thinking, but he sat down opposite him anyway.

Chen Xiao glanced at him: "You’re relying on no one being able to find your evidence, right?"

Lou Yang spread his hands: "At most, I’ve gone against morality and beaten my biological father, as for anything else, I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"Makes sense, so let’s talk about the case of the five university students murdered in Xiaofeng Village. Didn’t you say you wanted to be a policeman since you were a child? I think if you’re not interested in this topic, it would really be unreasonable."

Lou Yang squinted his eyes: "Go on, I’m all ears."

"This case, to be precise, this is the third time I’ve come to investigate. The first time was when the Qingxi City Bureau’s criminal investigation team came after the incident. The second time, it was due to Guo Zhengchang’s efforts that a special task force from Jiang Province conducted a cross-province investigation."

"The fundamental reason why both previous investigations by the special task forces ended without results isn’t because there was a mole in the middle hindering the investigation. The real reason, it all stemmed from an event that the parties involved didn’t care about, or even take seriously."

Upon hearing this, Lou Yang squinted even tighter.

"That event originated from Yu Gui during his treatment, where he was in a ward with several other patients suffering from terminal illnesses. Among them, was your teacher."

"He never married or had children, and his only family was you, his apprentice he took on halfway. You two were in the business of funerals, and while the annual income wasn’t too little, in the face of a serious illness, it was insignificant. One day, another patient was admitted to the ward, and he was Yu Gui."

"Seeing Yu Gui also admitted, you might have felt a bit of glee in your heart? After all, your tragic childhood had a lot to do with Yu Gui’s father, Yu Gu. But you didn’t show your schadenfreude until one day you saw some university students visiting Yu Gui."

"And those students even raised a large amount of money for Yu Gui’s treatment!"

"Of course, even then you didn’t feel there was much, just resenting the Yu Family’s luck to have such good classmates. But by that time, you had started having some thoughts."

"This was the beginning of everything, but what you hadn’t expected at all was that one of those students was very special. Her uniqueness was recognized by your teacher, leading to the birth of the second reason behind this series of events!"

"That person was Guo Ning!"

"Her appearance seemed to be a replica of her mother’s, which made your teacher constantly argue to change wards during that period, even refusing treatment."

At this point, Chen Xiao got up and went to a dark corner to pick up a briefcase.

He took out a laptop from the bag, opened a document on it, and pushed the computer in front of Lou Yang.

It recorded the entire process of his teacher’s hospitalization.

After reading it, Lou Yang couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh: "Tsk tsk, in the eyes of the rich, we common folks really don’t even need to wear underwear!"

"Since everything has already been exposed, are you not going to share some thoughts?" Chen Xiao questioned back.

Lou Yang curled his lips: "It’s like listening to a story, just not exciting enough."

"True, it hasn’t reached the climax yet, so the story inevitably feels a bit bland." Chen Xiao chuckled and continued:

"Then your teacher, as he was constantly provoked by past events, his condition worsened, and you had already used up all the funds you had raised for treatment. You watched as the hospital gradually cut back on medication, becoming anxious. Just then, Yu Gui was about to give up treatment!"

"If he gave up treatment, it would mean the donation for treatment would remain. You recalled the past, feeling more and more that the Yu Family owed the Lou Family too much, so you found Yu Gui’s father hoping he would give you or at least part of that money, so you could continue treating your teacher."

"But you didn’t expect, Yu Gu outright refused, saying he couldn’t make that decision. So you found an opportunity to contact Guo Ning alone. You revealed your teacher’s true identity, hoping this would soften Guo Ning’s heart and leave the money behind."

"But you couldn’t have imagined that Guo Ning had no feelings whatsoever for her mother. Even when she heard your teacher was the one her mother was always concerned about, she was filled with disgust, and she ruthlessly refused you!"

"You were completely in despair at that time, seeing your teacher, who once saved you from suffering, lying there helpless in pain, you were furious! But what could you do? In the end, you could only watch him die in pain."

"Initially, all this should have ended there, but there’s always unexpected things in the world. That conversation with Guo Ning was overheard by someone!"

"That person, his name was Qin Zhao! And that time, he remembered you!"
