Guan Liu said to Zhao Xu: "Mr. Zhao, you have helped us a lot. We will never forget your great kindness."

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "If you use part of your profits to help others, you can thank me."

"In addition, you don't have to worry that Deng Xinghui will cause trouble for you. On the contrary, if you encounter something that cannot be solved during business, you can go to Deng Xinghui for help. He will definitely help you."

"No?" Yang Qingsheng looked shocked and said, "How can Deng Xinghui help us if he knows that we have a good relationship with you?"

Zhao Xu smiled faintly and said, "How will you know if you don't try!"

After lunch, Yang Qingsheng and Guan Liu left.

Before leaving, Zhao Xu told them that there was no need to come to Liyang Hotel to look for him again.

He will leave for Lien City tomorrow.

Chen Xiaodao has been away for about a week. Apart from sending messages to Zhao Xu every day to report that he is safe, he rarely calls Zhao Xu.

This made Zhao Xu feel very strange.

It seems that Chen Xiaodao must be very busy, so busy that he doesn't even have time to make phone calls.

Lianshi is a seaside city. Zhao Xu has been there once before, but he didn't stay for too long and came back after only one day. Therefore, Lianshi is still a strange city to Zhao Xu.

In Zhao Xu's room, he told Can Jian and Xue Yin: "You two, don't notify Xiao Dao yet, let's go find him. When the time comes, give him a surprise."

Can Jian and Xue Yin smiled.

Xue Yin said half-jokingly: "Just don't let the surprise turn into a fright!"

"Okay, you guys go back and have a rest first! We'll rest for the night and set off to Lianshi tomorrow."

Can Jian and Xue Yin each responded and left Zhao Xu's room.

Zhao Xu found Xu Lingzhu's phone number and wanted to call Xu Lingzhu and ask her about the situation there.

After some hesitation, I finally didn't make the call.

Later, Zhao Xu and his wife Li Qingqing communicated via video.

After the call was connected, Zhao Xu said to Li Qingqing: "The business in Jincheng has been completed. Tomorrow I will go to Liancheng to have a look at the knife. Then, I will return to Lincheng."

"Did you hand Qiao Gu over to that old man?" Li Qingqing asked.

"That's not true!"

"No? Didn't you take Qiaogu to find her adoptive father? Didn't you find him?"

"Found it! But the old man is dead."

Zhao Xu glanced at the clay statue on the table.

In addition to their family portrait statue, there is also a statue of Xu Lingzhu.

The statue looked lifelike, making Zhao Xu think about it.

"What's going on?" Li Qingqing asked curiously.

So Zhao Xu told Li Qingqing what happened.

Li Qingqing sighed after hearing this.

I didn't expect Qiaogu's fate to be so rough.

When he heard that Zhao Xu had taken in another girl named "Luo Li" whose face had been burned by the fire, he sighed and said, "You! As soon as you go out, bring the woman back."

"Qingqing, don't get me wrong. Miss Luo Li's grandfather died and she became a lonely person. In addition, the clay sculpture old man made an explanation before his death, asking her to join me, so I..."

Li Qingqing interrupted Zhao Xu and said, "How could I be jealous of Miss Luo Li? It's good, at least someone is with Qiao Gu. Otherwise, Qiao Gu has mental problems, and we really can't allocate people to take care of her.

"

"By the way, did Xiaodao call Yunyao? Did he tell you about the situation in Lian City?" Zhao Xu asked.

Li Qingqing replied to Zhao Xu: "Xiao Dao just reports to Yun Yao that she is safe every day, and doesn't say anything else."

"That's it!" Zhao Xu frowned when he heard this.

I thought to myself: "Chen Xiaodao is just investigating an ordinary criminal case, how can he be so busy?"

"Don't tell Yunyao first that I'm going to Lianshi to see about the knife, lest Yunyao spill the beans." Zhao Xu warned Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry! I don't have such a big mouth."

Zhao Xu looked at the child for a while in the video and then hung up the phone.

Everything that needs to be done about Nishiki City has been done.

In the evening, Zhao Xu, Can Jian, and Xue Yin had a few drinks.

Went to bed early.

Early the next morning, Zhao Xu drove Can Jian, Xue Yin, the ugly girl Luo Li, and Qiao Gu to Lian City.

Along the way, Qiaogu seemed particularly quiet, which was completely different from before.

While driving, Zhao Xu looked carefully at Qiao Gu through the rearview mirror.

Apart from becoming quiet, there was no other clue.

I thought to myself: "Strange, why did this girl suddenly change her temper?"

Logically speaking, a mentally ill patient should not be so quiet.

But it is too common sense to say that Qiaogu has become mentally normal.

On the contrary, Luo Li quickly integrated with Zhao Xu's team.

Zhao Xu thought that Luo Li must be a poor talker, but he didn't expect that he kept chatting with Can Jian and Xue Yin along the way.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu felt a little relieved.

It seems that Luo Li will soon be able to get along with the people in the Five Ethnic Village.

It only takes about two hours to drive from Jinshi to Lianshi.

After arriving in Lianshi, Zhao Xu did not go directly to see Chen Xiaodao, but stayed at the same hotel where Chen Xiaodao stayed.

In order to surprise Chen Xiaodao, it can be said that Zhao Xu put in a lot of effort.

After settling in, Zhao Xu walked alone to the floor where Chen Xiaodao was.

I asked the attendant on the floor.

The waiter told Zhao Xu that Chen Xiaodao had gone out early in the morning, and he didn't know whether he would come back or not.

If Chen Xiaodao was in the room, Zhao Xu would have noticed it long ago. Therefore, Zhao Xu could be sure that Chen Xiaodao was not in the room.

So, Zhao Xu came to the coffee shop on the second floor of the restaurant.

He deliberately found a seat near the window so that if Chen Xiaodao came back, Zhao Xu could see him immediately.

In Zhao Xu's opinion, Chen Xiaodao must be wearing a special mask.

Zhao Xu gave Chen Xiaodao the mask. Therefore, even if Chen Xiaodao was wearing a mask, Zhao Xu could still recognize Chen Xiaodao.

What surprised Zhao Xu was that it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon and Chen Xiaodao hadn't come back yet.

In desperation, Zhao Xu edited a text message to Chen Xiaodao and left a message asking: "Xiaodao, did the investigation of the case go smoothly?"

Soon, Chen Xiaodao replied: "It's not going well!"

"What, is it difficult to check?"

"This case is becoming more complex as it is investigated, involving many people."

Zhao Xu saw that Chen Xiaodao quickly replied to the message, so he could basically conclude that Chen Xiaodao was not in danger.

It seems that Chen Xiaodao is really busy with the case.

"Then keep checking! If you need help with anything, remember to call me and let me know." Zhao Xu left a message.

"Okay, Master!"

After Chen Xiaodao finished replying to the message, he saw two men who looked like bodyguards walking towards the car he was riding in.

When the two got close, one of them knocked on the car window.
Chapter completed!
