Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife-Chapter 55: Did You Know He Likes Raw Meat?

Chen Xiao stood at the entrance of the community waiting.

Before long, a luxury car stopped beside him.

Looking at this car, Chen Xiao already had some understanding of Brother Liu’s financial power.

Once the car came to a complete stop, Chen Xiao saw a middle-aged man with a crew cut get out.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I’m Guo Qing." Guo Qing extended his hand.

Chen Xiao responded with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Guo, what do you need me for?"

"I heard that Mr. Chen is the famous detective of Dongzhou, solving a case a day, truly remarkable!"

Guo Qing gave a thumbs-up, not hesitating to compliment him generously.

However, Chen Xiao instinctively filtered out such praises, smiling slightly: "President Guo, being such a big boss, your time must be very precious, shall we get straight to the point?"

"Haha, good, good, good, I like dealing with straightforward people, especially smart and straightforward people like Mr. Chen." Guo Qing laughed twice before getting serious:

"I heard that Mr. Chen is investigating the murder case at Swallow Lane. I wonder how much longer the investigation will take?"

"I can’t say; even Captain Zhang can’t give you an exact time." Chen Xiao replied.

As soon as Guo Qing heard Zhang Xian’s name, a look of irritation crossed his face; "Don’t mention Detective Zhang, just thinking of him gives me a headache. But I believe Mr. Chen wouldn’t lie to me, if you say unsure, it means the case is in a stalemate?"

"Yes, isn’t it because we’re waiting for your guidance, President Guo?"

Guo Qing quickly waved his hand: "Don’t flatter me like that, I’m here for two reasons today: one concerning Su Haidong, and the other about myself."

"Let’s talk about Su Haidong first." Chen Xiao didn’t want to waste time.

But Guo Qing shook his head with a smile: "No, before we talk about Su Haidong, I must discuss my own matter, otherwise, if I tell you about Su Haidong, and you don’t agree to my request, then what?"

Chen Xiao squinted: "President Guo is truly a businessman, clear-headed."

"I hope Mr. Chen can understand, but my business doesn’t need you to agree right away, just your attitude will suffice."

After a brief hesitation, Chen Xiao nodded: "Go ahead, what’s it about?"

"Come with me to the Provincial City to help me rise to power!" Guo Qing said with a smile, stating his intention.

On hearing this, Chen Xiao almost instinctively wanted to refuse.

Who exactly was Guo Qing?

On the surface, he was the owner of a construction company, but his nickname clearly indicated he was not a clean person.

Now he’s asking Chen Xiao to help him rise to power, doesn’t that mean he wants Chen Xiao to engage in some shady business?

However, Chen Xiao and Guo Qing had no connections, so why did he think Chen Xiao could help him rise?

Chen Xiao was puzzled, and Guo Qing, not hiding anything, spoke seriously: "Mr. Chen, don’t worry too much, the help I need is not illegal, rather it requires your expertise. Of course, all of this depends on how much time it takes for you to solve the Swallow Lane murder case, and what role you play in this case."

Chen Xiao frowned: "Explain clearly."

"It’s actually not complicated. Many Dongzhou people have heard some things about me, and to be honest, I do have a penchant for boldness and courage. But all my fierceness is built on a desire to get ahead, and I’ve almost lost my life for it. Now there’s an opportunity to rise higher in front of me, and besides the police, the only person I know who can help is you, Mr. Chen."

"You want me to help you investigate a case, right?"

"Yes, if the cause of someone’s death is clarified and the culprit found, I will have the chance to rise to the next level, perhaps even become one of the elites!"

As Guo Qing spoke, his eyes were full of desire.

Although Chen Xiao still didn’t know precisely which case it was, he felt this was not something ordinary.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xiao asked: "And what can I gain? If it’s just some undisclosed things about Su Haidong, the stakes may not be enough."

Guo Qing snapped his fingers: "I knew Mr. Chen was a straightforward person, so let’s put it this way... I’m personally willing to pay you a reward of two million. Besides me, you will surely receive gratitude and rewards from others! And I can guarantee that neither the rewards you receive nor the tasks you take on will touch the legal boundaries!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao was tempted.

If he helped Guo Qing with this, he would receive a two million reward from Guo Qing alone!

In addition, others would definitely thank him and compensate him, which wouldn’t be less than Guo Qing’s share!

In other words, if he proceeded, he’d receive at least four million in rewards!

Four million!

Four million in 2006!

How many ordinary families could only dream of reaching such a figure?

Yes, although it’s not much to those top-level tycoons, it was something Chen Xiao needed urgently at this point.

Once he obtained this sum, Chen Xiao’s plan to bring prosperity to his wife could commence at the soonest time!

Chen Xiao took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement within.

"President Guo is generous, but I have one last question."

"Please ask."

"Who do you want me to investigate the cause of death for?"

"I understand your concern, Mr. Chen, I can responsibly tell you, it’s a girl, and she’s not someone like me. She was very obedient, but she went to a place she shouldn’t because she lacked worldly experience. If she were still alive, I probably wouldn’t be here asking for your help, as the opportunity wouldn’t fall to me otherwise."

Guo Qing’s words made everything clear to Chen Xiao.

The girl’s identity must be remarkable!

However, Guo Qing also said he didn’t need an immediate answer, just an attitude for now.

"I’ll take on your request, President Guo, but I’m curious, I’ve only solved one or two cases, an unknown figure. For such matters, shouldn’t you be seeking someone like Zhang Xian known for his reputation?"

Chen Xiao asked, and Guo Qing responded with a mysterious smile: "Do you know why he had to go out of town to work on a case before?"

Chen Xiao’s face froze for a moment; he sighed: "I see, it seems President Guo does have some confidence in me."

"To be honest, it’s a helpless move for me; I can’t engage Zhang Xian, but the girl’s grandfather can. As for why I came to you, it’s because the opportunity is right in front of me, and I must seize it!"

Guo Qing’s words were candid, and after a slight nod from Chen Xiao, he didn’t pursue the topic further, and instead asked what he was most eager to know.

"Now that you’ve seen my attitude, go ahead... what things about Su Haidong are unknown even to Zhang Xian?"

Guo Qing slowly sobered his expression, his tone intensely serious: "Two things, firstly: you probably didn’t know Su Haidong likes to eat raw meat, right?"
