Shen Shuming called at this moment.

The reason was obvious, there should be new news about the Deng father and son!

Chen Xiao wasted no time and transferred Shen Shuming’s call.

"Hello, Young Master Shen."

Shen Shuming was an exceptionally clever person.

Just from Chen Xiao’s polite greeting, Shen Shuming couldn’t help but smile bitterly:

"Chen Xiao, have you already guessed what I’m going to say?"

Chen Xiao replied, "I have a slight guess. The Deng father and son should have returned to the country, right?"

"Yes!"

"They were extremely excited after receiving a notification from my friend’s company, which might be related to their family’s decline over the past two years. For businessmen, if an opportunity for a comeback presents itself, no one would stay calm."

"So they’ve already arrived in Hai City?"

"If there are no delays, they will arrive on time in an hour. Mr. Chen, would you like to pick them up?"

Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Do I have the fortune to pick up President Deng and Mr. Deng at the airport?"

"If you’re willing, I can arrange it. However, you must consider the risk; will there be a possibility of alerting them?"

"If we’re talking about alerting them, reopening the investigation into the Marquis Jinguang’s Tomb case would have already alerted them, so whether I appear in front of them can just serve as a probe."

"Alright, leave it to me to arrange. Additionally, someone will pick you up when the time comes. Please give me an address later."

He hung up the phone.

After sending the address to Shen Shuming, Chen Xiao said to Lin Xi:

"Let’s go back first, I’ll go to the airport alone later."

"As you say."

Lin Xi responded, and Liu Dayou drove them back to the hotel first.

When the time was right, Chen Xiao received a call from an unknown number and went downstairs.

A business car was waiting outside the hotel.

Two people were standing by the car, and upon seeing Chen Xiao coming down, they immediately came over to greet him.

"Hello Mr. Chen, I am a representative from Shenghai responsible for receiving the Deng Family. My name is Hu. It’s a pleasure to meet you!"

Chen Xiao shook hands politely, "I hope President Hu will guide me on this trip."

"Mr. Chen, you’re too kind. You don’t need to say anything later, but if they inquire, please bear with acting as my subordinate. After all, I’m the one coordinating almost the entire time. If you want to leave, just let me know."

"No problem, let’s get in the car first."

They got into the car and headed to the airport.

After waiting for about ten minutes at the airport, Chen Xiao saw Deng Hu and Deng Xiang, the father and son.

President Hu went forward to greet them.

Although Chen Xiao went along with President Hu to meet them, President Hu was the representative of the party in charge, so he carried himself with confidence throughout.

Conversely, Deng Hu and Deng Xiang were eager to please President Hu.

Because they were busy trying to please President Hu, Chen Xiao, who was following behind, was directly overlooked.

This was exactly what Chen Xiao wanted.

No one paid attention to him, so he could focus intently on observing Deng Hu and Deng Xiang.

Based on previous information and just by visually assessing and observing Deng Xiang’s gait, Chen Xiao could confirm that this guy could definitely kick through President Hu with one leg!

People with special abilities are often more sensitive than others.

Deng Xiang seemed to sense something and glanced sideways slightly.

But Chen Xiao’s disguise was almost flawless.

Deng Xiang frowned in confusion but didn’t dwell on it, continuing to listen to work-related matters following behind his father.

Once they were in the car, Chen Xiao felt assured.

The footprints of both Deng Hu and Deng Xiang matched two of the sets from the thirteen sets of footprints.

This meant, in Chen Xiao’s mind, he could confirm the suspects Lin Zumeng, Deng Hu, Deng Xiang, and Zhang Du!

Only Lin Zumeng was dead.

Zhang Du was missing.

Only Deng Hu and Deng Xiang could be seen in person.

And as Shen Shuming said, even knowing it was them, how could it be proven that they were the criminals?

Sitting in the car, Chen Xiao didn’t focus too much but thought briefly and realized he shouldn’t disguise himself too perfectly.

So he began openly contemplating while sitting in the front seat.

He wondered what method could be used to verify that Deng Hu and Deng Xiang participated in the Marquis Jinguang’s Tomb case back then.

However, the more Chen Xiao thought, the deeper his frown became.

And as his frown deepened, his unusual behavior caught Deng Xiang’s attention.

Deng Xiang grew more curious and finally asked, "By the way, President Hu, who is this gentleman?"

President Hu was about to say, "my subordinate," but after seeing Chen Xiao’s subtle signaling, he blurted out, "Officer Chen... um, Chen...!"

"Wait a minute, President Hu, what did you just call him? Officer Chen? Is he a cop!"

Chen Xiao extended his hand voluntarily and smiled, "Hello, President Deng, I’m Chen Xiao, a consultant for the Criminal Investigation Team of the Longhu District branch in the Provincial City, Jiang Province."

President Hu was utterly puzzled as to why Chen Xiao would reveal his identity at this moment.

But he understood Chen Xiao’s gesture just now.

His reaction was swift, and he met Chen Xiao’s request.

Seeing Chen Xiao reveal himself, President Hu decided to stay out of it.

Deng Xiang also sensed President Hu’s attitude and his expression became unpleasant:

"President Hu, what do you mean by this? Didn’t you invite us back for collaboration discussions?"

President Hu pursed his lips, showing no intent to respond to Deng Xiang.

Deng Hu also couldn’t help but harden his tone, saying, "President Hu, no matter how fallen the Deng Family is, it’s not for a lackey from Shenghai to dismiss us, right?"

President Hu frowned, but the next second a large hand from the backseat suddenly grabbed his throat.

At that moment, President Hu’s eyes widened.

Two seconds later, the intense suffocation caused President Hu to start sticking out his tongue.

Deng Xiang seemed to lose his temper, coldly stating, "President Hu, we came with all sincerity to discuss collaboration with Shenghai, but what is the meaning of this?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing, President Deng? Do you think your collaboration is a mafia deal? Police aren’t scary, right? Why are you so agitated seeing a cop like me?"

Chen Xiao calmly patted Deng Xiang’s hand, smiling at ease.

But President Hu couldn’t help looking at Chen Xiao with pleading eyes.

Fortunately, Deng Xiang ignored Chen Xiao.

With no other option, Chen Xiao placed his palm on Deng Xiang’s hand, preparing to pry open his fingers.

When Deng Xiang realized Chen Xiao’s intent, he couldn’t help but sneer.

But as Chen Xiao effortlessly pried open his fingers.

Deng Xiang’s expression completely changed!

While he had a strong physique but a simple mind, it didn’t mean he was stupid.

Knowing Chen Xiao was a cop, he naturally wouldn’t seriously harm President Hu.

It was merely to vent a bit!

So he didn’t use his full strength.

But when his first finger was pried open, he instinctively exerted more force.

However, his strength seemed like that of a weakling in front of Chen Xiao, completely ineffective.

The key was when his hand was entirely controlled by Chen Xiao, he saw only disappointment on Chen Xiao’s face!

Deng Xiang was dumbfounded!

He was the one being played!

He was the one being controlled right now!

Why did Chen Xiao look at him with such disappointment?
