Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 116: Are There Really Such Shameless People in This World!

Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Are There Really Such Shameless People in This World!

Chen Xiao didn’t drive; he took a taxi and arrived at Qingpu Road.

As the policewoman said, as long as you get to this road, you can see the school.

There weren’t any street vendors on either side of the school at the moment, probably because it was just past lunchtime.

Street vendors usually appear at school entrances during breakfast in the morning and after school in the evening.

After Chen Xiao arrived, he realized he had come too early.

However, there were quite a few shops on both sides of the school. After sweeping his eyes around, Chen Xiao finally chose a fruit tea shop.

The reason he walked into this drink shop was because of a connection to someone.

Remember the Fishbone Case in Swallow Lane? Chen Xiao walked into a drink shop inexplicably and met Xi Yian.

In the drink shop, Chen Xiao glanced at the menu, then ordered a cup of lemon black tea.

When he finally got his drink, he noticed a small missing person notice stuck to the table he was sitting at.

The notice was about a three-year-old girl. Without even looking, he knew it must be the woman’s daughter.

Looking at the missing person notice, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but ask the server at the counter.

"Hello, may I ask about this missing person notice?"

The server, hearing this, asked in surprise, "Sir, have you seen this little girl?"

Chen Xiao shook his head, "I’m just trying to inquire in case I encounter her in the future. I will definitely contact the person listed."

The server sighed with disappointment, "Sigh, it’s been almost two months, but still no news about Xiao Diandian."

"The girl in the notice is named Xiao Diandian?"

"Yes, she was very little but especially adorable, with a sweet mouth. Although she never attended school, she was quite a little money-grubber! Her mom used to set up a stall selling pancakes in front, and she would take the money every time a pancake was sold. But she couldn’t count the money properly since she never went to school, which always frustrated and amused her mother."

Listening to this brief introduction, even Chen Xiao found her endearing.

"So everyone on this street should like her a lot, right?"

"Of course, you’ll find missing person notices like this in other stores as well; each one self-printed and posted." The server said with a sad face:

"Who could have imagined such an adorable little girl would go missing after visiting her mom’s hometown?"

"Why did her mom go back to her hometown when she was doing business here in Qingxi?" Chen Xiao asked, and the server replied:

"Exactly, we’re furious. Sister Ziping is just love-struck. What’s the point of waiting for a heartless man? Every year on his birthday she goes back to wait, saying he will definitely return. Now, not only has that heartless man not returned, but Xiao Diandian is missing too!"

Chen Xiao was stunned; turns out there was more to the story.

If this were in the future, there would definitely be a more descriptive term for this, like being love-struck.

However, Chen Xiao did not immediately label Yang Ziping as love-struck. His extensive experience taught him that many people’s appearances can be vastly different from their true character.

Seeing more customers coming into the shop, Chen Xiao had to cease the conversation for now.

And seeing the server busy again, he could only take his lemon tea and continue strolling down the street.

After visiting several shops, the information Chen Xiao gathered was largely the same.

Spending the entire afternoon, Chen Xiao finally waited until it was almost time for school to let out.

By then, both sides of the road outside the school were crowded with vendors.

But it was one particular pancake stall that caught Chen Xiao’s attention at first glance. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Because on the stall hung the most conspicuous poster, which was Xiao Diandian’s missing person notice.

At first glance, Chen Xiao thought it must be another kind-hearted vendor helping to bring Xiao Diandian home soon.

Unexpectedly, next to the poster was a bold line of text: "Buy one more pancake, and you’ll bring Xiao Diandian a bit more hope to return home."

At first glance, this line of text didn’t seem strange.

But upon deeper thought, the wording gave people a feeling of resistance.

Especially seeing the couple at the stall laughing so broadly, it made Chen Xiao slightly nauseous.

He walked to a nearby stall and asked, "Hello, are the people at that pancake stall related to Xiao Diandian’s family?"

"Hell no, that spot originally belonged to Diandian’s mom. After the incident, they snatched it. They used to sell fried chicken fillets, but now they’ve switched to pancakes. And shamelessly using Diandian for advertising. The kids from the school, knowing nothing of malicious intent, just flock to their stall to buy."

After hearing this, Chen Xiao frowned.

How is this different from eating a blood-soaked bun?

Seeing their smiling faces, don’t they find it disgusting when they look in the mirror?

The more Chen Xiao looked at that couple’s smiling faces, the more disgusted he felt: "Isn’t there anyone in charge?"

"We’ve reported them countless times, but it’s useless... They’re quite tough."

"I see, then today that stall is going to be gone!"

Chen Xiao understood.

So he took out his phone and called Hu Yue.

Hu Yue thought Chen Xiao had found something and asked excitedly, "Mr. Chen, have you made any progress so quickly?"

"I’m human, not a deity. I called you to ask about something. Do you know that Yang Ziping’s old pancake stall is now replaced with a new one?"

"I had no idea, what happened?"

Hearing Hu Yue’s question, Chen Xiao realized he didn’t know, so he explained the situation.

After hearing it, Hu Yue was so angry he cursed, "Damn, are there such shameless people in the world?"

Chen Xiao, having lived in two lifetimes, had heard of altruists willing to get involved for good deeds.

But that pancake couple definitely wasn’t among them!

Because their promotions were not even slightly embellishing!

Other vendors might be envious, but no one else was shameless enough to market with a slogan like "Every pancake you buy gives more hope for her return home."

Having finished cursing, Hu Yue realized Chen Xiao’s real intention and said in a deep voice: "If they can do such a thing, it’s clear their hearts are blackened. I’ll call the authorities now; if that stall appears in Qingxi City again, I’ll take their surname!"

Hu Yue was genuinely infuriated.

Chen Xiao put down his phone and watched quietly from the side.

Sure enough, within twenty minutes, a city enforcement pickup truck arrived.

After showing identification and a notification, they immediately confiscated the pancake stall.

Despite this, the male vendor indignantly yelled, "Just you wait, my uncle is Yao Rong!"

Chen Xiao chuckled coldly, and when the enforcement personnel heard this, their eyes lit up, and they escorted the vendor couple onto the truck.
