Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 15: The Dawn Brought by Spirited Youngsters!

Chapter 15: Chapter 15: The Dawn Brought by Spirited Youngsters!

A few minutes later. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The entire gambling room suddenly fell silent.

The gamblers looked at Chen Xiao and Luo Dali, who were still standing, with fear, as if they had seen a ghost.

They couldn’t understand; Chen Xiao only brought three people, while there were more than a dozen of Jiang Bo’s men in the gambling room.

Why are Jiang Bo and his punks the ones lying on the ground now?

No... no no no, to be precise, the only one who actually made a move was Chen Xiao!

Luo Dali and Xiaoji Knife Man were directly stunned by Chen Xiao’s manner of fighting.

It’s unclear how much time passed when Knife Man suddenly shouted, "Damn, idol... Brother Chen is the idol I’ve always pursued!"

"Amazing, one against more than a dozen! Brother Chen, are you a practitioner?"

Luo Dali was well aware if Chen Xiao was a practitioner.

But it was Luo Dali who was truly scared!

When did Chen Xiao become so good at fighting?

Just as Luo Dali was still in shock and had not yet recovered, sirens blared from outside.

A group of police officers swarmed in, and it was the officers from the Phoenix Street Police Station, led by Director Old Li.

When Old Li saw it was Chen Xiao and Luo Dali, he burst out angrily, "Chen Xiao, Luo Dali, it’s you two again!"

Chen Xiao glanced at Old Li and grinned, "Director Li, your police response is so quick, I should have known to call you sooner."

Old Li: "Shut up, this is no time for joking. Do you know how serious mutual fighting is?"

"Luckily there’s no surveillance here, but you can ask them, they started it, and all I did was defend myself. Besides, Dali didn’t even fight, it was only me the whole time."

Chen Xiao said with a smile, looking relaxed and untroubled.

However, the anger and disappointment on Director Li’s face were not concealed in the slightest.

"You, always acting as if it’s nothing serious. Mutual fighting is mutual fighting, don’t start with me about defense! Chen Xiao, how a person like you ended up with such an outstanding wife like Xiaoxi, you’re just tarnishing her name!"

Director Li was fuming, but his words made Chen Xiao frown.

At this moment, someone among the gamblers, whether in defense of Chen Xiao or just not liking Director Li, voiced:

"Director Li, you’re wrongfully accusing a good person this time. It was Jiang Bo’s men who stole Chen Xiao’s motorcycle, and when Chen Xiao went to confront them, they ganged up on him."

As this person spoke, others chimed in agreement, "Yeah, the police can’t wrongfully accuse, can they? We can testify, there was no mutual fighting. Even if there was, it was Jiang Bo with more than a dozen people against just Chen Xiao!"

"Exactly, Jiang Bo’s group of more than a dozen against just Chen Xiao, Director Li is truly sharp-eyed, like a modern-day Bao Zheng!"

The gamblers’ mocking tones made Director Li’s expression darken instantly.

Could it really be that Chen Xiao took on more than a dozen of Jiang Bo’s men alone?

And took them all down?

Is that possible?

If Chen Xiao had such skills, wouldn’t he already be the boss of Phoenix Street?

Director Li felt that the situation was getting difficult to handle, so he shouted, "Bring them all back to the station, Xiaoguan, notify Lin Xi to come and pick them up!"

Xiaoguan was the female colleague who used to follow Lin Xi around and badmouth Chen Xiao.

Although Chen Xiao was very unhappy, he understood the police station’s way of handling things. If he resisted now, it would really cause trouble for Lin Xi.

Chen Xiao didn’t hesitate to follow Director Li to the station; on the way, Knife Man and Xiaoji tirelessly expressed their admiration, constantly asking which martial art Chen Xiao practiced.

Chen Xiao had no interest in explaining to them; he was also shocked by his ability.

At this moment, as things quieted down, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but ponder the word "capture."

Chen Xiao always thought "capture" meant capturing the scene, capturing details, capturing what others couldn’t notice.

But now, he suspected that capturing was not just what he previously understood; it might also have its literal meaning.

Since one must be able to capture effectively, a strong body is essential!

That’s why he transformed overnight, acquiring such terrifying prowess!

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, so he silently reminded himself not to take the daily rewards too lightly in the future.

As he was lost in thought, Luo Dali nudged him with his elbow and asked, "Brother Chen, do you think our sister-in-law will go crazy later?"

"Go crazy about what? Just wait and watch your sister-in-law perform." Chen Xiao replied.

Luo Dali was puzzled, "What? Our sister-in-law’s on your side?"

"Of course, as long as I’m not wrong, your sister-in-law is more protective of me than anyone else."

Chen Xiao was confident, but after speaking, he couldn’t help but think of Lin Xi that morning and how she looked when they parted at the Criminal Police Division.

He was a little worried that Lin Xi might still be upset.

Soon after arriving at the station, Chen Xiao, Luo Dali, and Knife Man Xiaoji were confined in a room to wait.

Chen Xiao disliked wasting time, so he called out to Knife Man.

The latter was overjoyed, thinking Chen Xiao might take the opportunity to teach him a trick or two.

"Xiaodao, you play with knives. Those characteristics Dali mentioned before, how many people in Dongzhou City could make them?" Chen Xiao inquired.

Knife Man, though a bit disappointed, replied honestly, "You can’t buy that kind of knife; it has to be custom-made. I like working with knives myself, but I can’t make them. I only know some former blacksmiths who can."

"Did you contact those people just now?"

"Yes, I contacted them all."

"What did they say?"

"They all weren’t too sure, saying they hadn’t heard of anyone ordering one."

Chen Xiao wasn’t disappointed by this answer.

After all, this was one of the most crucial pieces of information in the case. If it were so easy to find, Chen Xiao would have doubted his luck.

However, as they talked, Knife Man suddenly said, "Wait, Lighter also likes playing with knives!"

Chen Xiao looked at him in surprise, "Isn’t Lighter into cars?"

"He doesn’t just like cars, he loves all things thrilling, including hanging out with Jiang Bo and Qiao Ye, that’s one of his hobbies too."

Xiaoji added with a wry smile, "Although we often tease him saying his dad makes lighters, his family’s lighter business is actually quite big, though still slightly less than Brother Dali’s."

"Slightly less? Can Lighter’s family compare with my Old Luo Family?" Luo Dali retorted disdainfully.

Lighter and Knife Man awkwardly smiled and nodded, while Chen Xiao ignored these trivial topics and asked again:

"So, can he forge knives?"

"Yes, he even held a knife forging competition! He tricked a thousand bucks out of his old man, and the winner of the competition would get a thousand!"

After Xiaoji spoke, Knife Man admitted a bit sheepishly, "I participated in that competition for the thousand bucks too, but someone else took first place."

Listening to the two of them,

Chen Xiao felt that the appearance of these two spirited young men, Knife Man and Xiaoji, was surely the ray of hope for him today!

A knife forging competition!

Wasn’t that about whose knife was sharper and more resilient?

In his previous life, when the internet was popular, Chen Xiao was obsessed with those knife forging videos online!

But as they were still chatting about the competition, a clear voice called from outside.

"Director Li, this is Lin Xi. I heard someone named Lighter stole my husband’s motorcycle, and... I’ve brought him to you now!"
