Chapter 327: Chapter 327: A Happy Event Approaches!

Mouse followed Han Zai away.

Lin Xi was still handling the case.

Only Chen Xiao felt alone at this moment.

With no other choice, Chen Xiao drove back to the criminal investigation team.

Lin Xi was still in the interrogation room, conducting separate interrogations of Xiong Nan, Qiao Zhiyuan, and Zhang Cheng.

After an unknown period of time, Lin Xi finally walked up to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao looked at her and asked, "Finished with the interrogation?"

"The interrogation has long been over. Except for Zhang Cheng, both Xiong Nan and Qiao Zhiyuan have confessed to their crimes without hesitation. After they confessed, we even held a small meeting."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao finally understood why Lin Xi had been busy all day.

Watching Lin Xi’s expression, Chen Xiao smiled and asked, "Did people from the top come?"

Lin Xi nodded, "Yes, not just Captain Zhang... Director Zhang came, along with leaders from the city bureau."

"It seems my wife is on the verge of getting promoted." Chen Xiao raised his thumb.

Lin Xi spoke mysteriously, "Come with me."

Chen Xiao was curious, thinking Lin Xi was taking him to meet the city bureau leaders.

But to his surprise, he didn’t meet the leaders, but received a gift from Lin Xi.

As for the gift, Chen Xiao felt there was no need to share with outsiders.

Of course, a gift from the criminal police team wouldn’t be too extravagant.

After giving the gift, Lin Xi said affectionately, "I can’t go home with you this time. I need to stay here to complete the follow-up work, but mom and dad are at our home."

Chen Xiao nodded, "You focus on your work, I’ll be with mom and dad."

"Okay, I’ll get busy now, drive safely on your way back."

"Sure."

Lin Xi kissed Chen Xiao again before diving back into her work.

Chen Xiao watched her leave, then left the criminal police team and headed to Dongzhou.

But along the way, he felt that things didn’t go as planned.

Originally, he came to Yangguan because of his sister-in-law Lin Yao’s words, aiming to support his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Ultimately, Chen Xiao abandoned his original plan because of Lin Shanhu’s words.

Fortunately, this trip wasn’t in vain.

At least, Lin Xi’s promotion to deputy head of the branch’s criminal police should be secured.

Chen Xiao relaxedly returned to Dongzhou, but halfway there, he received an unexpected phone call.

The call was from Xie Wensheng.

"Hey, Chen Xiao, have you returned to your hometown by now?"

Listening to Xie Wensheng’s regained strength in his voice, Chen Xiao was delighted, "Are you recovering?"

"Today I feel much more energetic, so I thought of calling you first thing."

"As long as things are improving, did the doctor say when you might be discharged?"

Xie Wensheng replied, "It’s not certain for now, but the doctor said if recovery continues well, I might go home within half a month."

Chen Xiao felt the call was more than just an update on his condition.

Pondering for a moment, he proactively asked, "What’s your plan next?"

"I’ve decided to resign once I’m discharged, and the team has essentially agreed to my resignation; it’s just a matter of procedure."

Chen Xiao acknowledged, "Are you planning to come to Dongzhou? If you do, then my vision needs to formally commence."

"The reason for my call is precisely that; I’ve been a cop for many years, and I know that the frequency of major incidents and security issues stem from lack of oversight. If what you described can be achieved, I believe a city’s crime rate could be halved at least!"

Chen Xiao replied with a smile, "Since you’re willing to join me in this venture, you’re welcome anytime."

"Rest assured, today’s call represents my commitment. But, I have a favor to ask."

"Go ahead."

"I want to bring my mother and my two children to Dongzhou. Especially my kids; I’m wondering if you can help arrange schooling for them?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"You don’t need to worry about this, as long as you come, everything will be perfectly arranged."

"Alright, no need for more words, we’ll chat further when we meet."

Chen Xiao didn’t say much else, ending the call and heading straight home.

Upon his return, not only Luo Dali, but also Xiaoji Knife Man and Liu Dayou were present.

What surprised Chen Xiao the most was seeing Ye Xiu chatting with his mom and mother-in-law.

Ye Xiu was a straightforward girl.

Girls like her, both mom and mother-in-law loved from the bottom of their hearts.

Chen Xiao listened for a moment, witnessing Luo Dali’s evident pride and the undisguised envy of Xiaoji Knife Man and Liu Dayou.

Soon, Luo Dali and Chen Xiao moved aside.

Luo Dali, joyfully smoking, chuckled, "Brother Chen, I took Ye Xiu to meet my parents. Her parents came to Dongzhou the day before yesterday too."

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, "That progressed quickly?"

"Where there’s a will, there’s a way! Plus, my Ye Xiu is so outstanding. When my parents first met her, you wouldn’t believe how delighted they were, and on the first night, Ye Xiu slept with my mom, chatting all night long!"

"The next morning, my mom said she’s set on Xiaoxiu as her daughter-in-law, warning me if I miss out on a girl like her, I might never meet such a one again."

Chen Xiao agreed with Luo Dali’s words.

Although there’s an old saying about matching social status.

Luo Dali’s family’s conditions were much wealthier than Ye Xiu’s, both now and before.

Yet, considering Luo Dali’s former conduct, Chen Xiao felt it was Ye Xiu getting the short end of the stick.

Comparing the two, Chen Xiao increasingly believed that Luo Dali and Ye Xiu were a match made in heaven.

Observing Luo Dali’s anticipation for the future, Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Seeing you like this, it seems good things are on the horizon?"

Luo Dali chuckled again, "Pretty much, I’m thinking of finalizing things with Xiaoxiu while our brothers are here."

"That’s great, pick a good day, and we’ll all come to celebrate with you."

"Yes!" Luo Dali nodded firmly, but then spoke in a nostalgic tone:

"But Brother Chen, I feel like these past months have been surreal."

"What makes it surreal?" Chen Xiao asked with a smile.

Luo Dali seriously said, "To be precise, weren’t we two known pests on Phoenix Street two months ago? Yet, within this short time, not just you, even I have undergone dramatic changes. Do you know what my dad said when last month’s profits came out?"

Chen Xiao shook his head with a smile, and Luo Dali earnestly said, "He said he’d never thought in his lifetime that a person could earn in one month what others couldn’t in a lifetime or even several lifetimes!"
