Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 109: The Woman with the Backpack

The various factions were in complete chaos.

Eventually, everyone from the village came running over, some trying to mediate the fight, while others took advantage of the chaos to strike secretly.

Chen Xiao directly took Luo Dali and Ye Xiu away from the place of trouble.

By the time they returned to the village, the police station had arranged for officers to come over.

However, with Guo Zhengchang there, Chen Xiao didn’t need to worry about anything.

At this point, Ye Xiu had also calmed down from her earlier emotions.

Chen Xiao looked at her and laughed, "How did you dare earlier? Waving that chopper around like that, what if you really hurt someone?"

Ye Xiu was somewhat shaken at this moment.

"I didn’t think much at the time. When I saw them surrounding you, my mind just heated up, and I grabbed a chopper from Brother Gui’s house and rushed over."

Listening to her words, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.

Luo Dali laughed even harder.

Ye Xiu blushed furiously and kicked Luo Dali hard, "Don’t make fun of me!"

"Alright, alright, I won’t make fun of you anymore. But from now on I’ll call you Tiger Girl." Luo Dali said with a laugh.

Ye Xiu got angrier, "You’re the one who’s tiger-like, you’re tiger-like all over!"

The few of them burst into laughter again.

But as Chen Xiao looked at Luo Dali and Ye Xiu, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

Why did he feel like there was something between the two of them?

Just as he was thinking, Ye Xiu got more serious.

She walked up to Chen Xiao and very formally bowed.

Chen Xiao was stunned and quickly asked, "What are you doing?"

"Brother Chen Xiao, you can handle it. My family isn’t as well-off as Brother Song Zhen, Sister Jin Meng, and Sister Guo Ning, so I don’t know how to thank you, I can only bow to you."

Ye Xiu wasn’t being polite, she was genuinely grateful.

Chen Xiao nodded, "Alright, I’ll accept your gratitude. You helped me scare off a lot of people today, so from now on we owe each other nothing."

"No way, one thing at a time. In the future, whenever you need me, no matter where I am, give me a call and I’ll be there right away!"

Ye Xiu didn’t seem to be speaking on a whim.

Chen Xiao didn’t argue, but Luo Dali got a bit anxious, "Tiger Girl, what are your plans next?"

"My parents will be coming tomorrow. After my sister’s cremation, my parents and I will take her home first. Once the funeral is over, I think I have to continue working away from home."

Ye Xiu spoke calmly, while Luo Dali scratched his head, wanting to say something, but his limited knowledge left him speechless.

Chen Xiao could see clearly, but he didn’t say a word.

The main issue was that Luo Dali was too unreliable in this regard.

The way he was acting, Chen Xiao didn’t believe him for a second.

When the funeral procession returned, Ye Xiu went to help Mrs. Yu.

After thinking for a while, Luo Dali seriously approached Chen Xiao, saying, "Brother Chen, I think I’m in love. The way Xiaoxiu swung that knife just now, it’s imprinted in my mind like a mark, and I can’t forget it."

Chen Xiao immediately snorted with laughter and responded sternly, "Xiaoxiu is an honest and good girl, plain and simple; don’t have crooked thoughts."

Instantly embarrassed, Luo Dali retorted, "What... what crooked thoughts? I don’t have any!"

Chen Xiao was surprised, noting that it seemed like this was his first time seeing Luo Dali acting like this.

Without saying more, Chen Xiao saw Guo Zhengchang return, and he went up to him.

"Mr. Xie, how did you deal with the Qin family?"

"Had the police station take them all away directly."

Chen Xiao nodded with a smile, and after taking a deep breath, Guo Zhengchang said, "News came from Qingxi, I can finally take Xiaoning home."

"That’s good."

"Yeah, I can’t handle much more. If it wasn’t for meeting you, I was almost ready to give up."

Chen Xiao smiled, and Guo Zhengchang shook his clothes, saying, "Earlier, Song Zhen and Jin Meng’s family found me. They wanted to thank you one by one, but I stopped them. I know you don’t seem to like dealing with occasions like that."

"Really? Many thanks, Mr. Xie. Honestly, it’s not that I’m afraid of trouble, I’m just not fond of dealing with such situations." Chen Xiao said with a relaxed expression.

Guo Zhengchang shook his head with a bitter smile, "When everyone returns home, I think they’ll come to thank you in the end."

As he spoke, Guo Zhengchang seemed to remember something, "Oh right, when I returned from Qingxi, Hu Yue asked me for your opinion. They might be holding a press conference to publicly announce the final result of the case, so they want to invite you to attend since you cracked it."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao instinctively wanted to refuse.

But then he reconsidered, realizing that the rural home appliance project happening in Qingxi was booming.

If he stepped forward at this time, it would surely benefit the rural home appliance project greatly.

"Alright, I’ll attend!"

Guo Zhengchang nodded emphatically, "Good, then I’ll spare more talk between us, let’s discuss everything when we return to Jiang Province."

With that, Guo Zhengchang turned and left Xiaofeng Village.

He had no reason to stay here anymore, and he had to handle Guo Ning’s funeral arrangements.

After seeing Guo Zhengchang off, Chen Xiao once more met Yu Gui’s parents.

With just a glance, Chen Xiao could tell what Yu Gui’s parents intended.

So before they could kneel to thank him, Chen Xiao hurried to stop them.

"Uncle, Auntie, I just did my duty. I understand your feelings and hope you soon emerge from the gloom. The deceased are gone, but the living must carry on."

"At least today, Yu Gui hasn’t left any regrets behind."

The Yu Gu couple nodded while wiping their tears.

During the course of this case, their family had endured too much.

As they spoke, the previously clear sky suddenly erupted with a thunderclap.

Then a torrential downpour frantically washed over the earth.

The storm came quickly and fiercely, cleansing the earth as if it had renewed itself.

Chen Xiao and Yu Gui’s parents stood at the doorway, watching the renewed world in awe.

"This rain came right on time."

After Chen Xiao spoke, Luo Dali cheekily brushed his hair, "Yeah, makes me want to recite a poem."

Chen Xiao looked at him disdainfully, "Go ahead, recite one for me. If you can recite a poem, I’ll reward you with ten bucks."

Luo Dali’s mouth twitched, "Pah... stingy, you’ve just solved a case and earned a few hundred thousand, and you only offer ten bucks!"

Everyone broke into smiles at his words.

Looking at the clear sky, Chen Xiao bade farewell to Yu Gui’s parents, "Uncle Yu, Auntie, the rain has stopped, we should head back."

"Not staying for dinner?"

Chen Xiao shook his head, "No, take care."

Silently, Yu Gui’s parents replied, and Chen Xiao didn’t linger, heading back to the experimental site with Luo Dali and Xiaoji Knife Man.

On the way to the site, as he drove, Luo Dali suddenly pointed ahead.

Chen Xiao followed the direction of his finger, seeing a rather bedraggled woman on the road.

The woman was soaked all over, as was the cloth-wrapped bundle she carried.

Seeing this, Luo Dali asked softly, "Brother Chen, looking at the direction, she seems headed to Nanqiao Town, should we give her a lift?"

Chen Xiao nodded, and Luo Dali rolled down the window, stopping beside the woman and calling out, "Big sis, where are you headed? Want us to give you a lift?"

Luo Dali wore a big smile, but the woman didn’t even glance at him, just kept her head down, walking step by step.

"Big sis, I’m talking to you." Luo Dali called out again, but the woman still gave no response.

Luo Dali frowned, "What a strange person, well... since she’s not paying attention let’s go."

With that, Luo Dali pressed the pedal and drove forward.

Through the rear-view mirror, Chen Xiao caught a brief glimpse of the woman’s face, but his attention was drawn to the bag she carried.

Not until the car had driven farther away and the woman was out of sight did Chen Xiao finally shift his gaze.
