Chapter 391: You Two Are Making Me Confused!
When Liu Dayou hurried back to Hai City.
Chen Xiao was somewhat embarrassed.
Although Liu Dayou had things to handle, Chen Xiao also said he’d call Liu Dayou at that time.
Fortunately, there are many cars from Xiuzhou to Hai City.
When Liu Dayou came over, his face was instead relaxed.
Chen Xiao asked, "Have you arranged everything at home?"
"All set. Before I came, I sent my parents and my sister to the train station."
Chen Xiao was also a bit surprised: "That’s good, but didn’t Wu Kuan do anything?"
"I think he’s happy inside, wishing the whole family only had him. But when my sister left with her child, his eyes seemed determined to do something, just asked Xiaoying to wait, wait until he turns tables... heh."
Very fitting for a gambler!
Chen Xiao didn’t continue talking about Liu Dayou’s family matters.
But Liu Dayou glanced at the criminal police team and asked, "Brother Chen, Captain Pan...?"
"She’s the busiest one now. We’ll wait until Qiu Huasheng and the Celestial Valley District leaders finish talks, then after Mu Rong’s body is cremated, we’ll go back together."
Liu Dayou nodded: "Once we go back this time, we probably won’t come to Hai City again, right?"
Chen Xiao felt there was something more to Liu Dayou’s words.
But he didn’t think much of it, and he didn’t quite agree with Liu Dayou.
A voice in his mind told him he seemed to come to Hai City again, and very soon.
"We’ll see, the case of the Ten Demon Sons hasn’t been cleared up, I think we’ll come again."
Liu Dayou thought for a moment and suddenly asked with great surprise: "Then Brother Chen, can I stay in Hai City? I’ll stay to investigate the Ten Demon Sons!"
Chen Xiao shook his head: "What are you staying here for alone? Besides, in two days Dali is getting engaged, we need to be there."
Liu Dayou realized, then followed with a face full of envy, saying:
"Oh yes, almost forgot about Dali’s matter. But really envy that guy, being with Xiaoxiu is simply a match made in heaven."
Chen Xiao looked deeply at Liu Dayou, slightly furrowed his brow, and said:
"Not right, could it be spring returning season now?"
"How could it be!"
After Liu Dayou laughed it off, he quickly ran away.
Chen Xiao watched his figure running away, always felt something was off.
But as soon as Liu Dayou ran away, Pan Huiping came over again:
"Chen Xiao, has Dayou come back? I said before I’d treat you to something, let’s do it tonight!"
As Pan Huiping spoke, she still looked around.
Chen Xiao called out, Liu Dayou immediately ran out and walked seriously to the front.
"Captain Pan, my Brother Chen is not stingy, actually you don’t have to treat us to dinner."
Pan Huiping shook her head: "We don’t know when we’ll see each other again next time, let’s use this last opportunity to gather and chat."
"Okay!"
As Chen Xiao watched the two exchange words, he was thinking inside.
Is this meal really for me?
Why are you two going back and forth!
Chen Xiao looked at Liu Dayou’s stern face, suddenly realizing.
Ever since Pan Huiping said Liu Dayou’s smile was lewd, Liu Dayou rarely smiled in front of Pan Huiping.
"Damn, could these bastards be playing a trick?" Chen Xiao cried out in his heart.
But by this time Pan Huiping had already opened the car door and invited Chen Xiao and Liu Dayou out for dinner without saying more.
Chen Xiao did not refuse, together with Pan Huiping arrived at a small restaurant she often frequented.
The restaurant wasn’t luxurious, also served home-style stir-fry dishes.
But the shop owner seemed familiar with Pan Huiping, became more enthusiastic upon her arrival.
Chen Xiao sat at the table, when Pan Huiping returned after ordering dishes, she proactively started talking:
"Chen Xiao, did your brother experience something during childhood?"
"Childhood?" Chen Xiao was quite puzzled.
In his memory, he really wasn’t clear about Liu Dayou’s childhood events.
Even adding the previous life, Liu Dayou rarely mentioned his growth history.
Seeing Chen Xiao’s bewildered expression, Pan Huiping said:
"Last night during the storm, when Dayou and I came to pick you up, didn’t the car halfway sink?"
Chen Xiao nodded, Pan Huiping sighed and continued:
"I broke the window immediately, but when I got out of the car, I found Dayou still sitting inside, seemingly like he was meditative."
"At that time, I didn’t think much, just dragged him out of the car. But after we both got ashore, I found him still in fear."
"At first, I thought he was scared, but later he said his mouth was just like when he was a child, and I was wondering if he encountered something similar as a child, leaving a lingering knot in his heart!"
"If so, I think as his big brother, you need to help him resolve this knot. Otherwise, encountering similar dangers again, he may not know how to save himself."
Pan Huiping said quite a bit, but even after finishing, she couldn’t help but add:
"After all, your relationship isn’t just a typical superior-subordinate one, I can see he truly treats you like a real brother."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao replied, smiling:
"Alright, I’ll ask him then."
"Um, have his family matters been sorted? What choice did his sister make in the end?" Pan Huiping asked again.
"She went back to her hometown with his parents."
"That’s good, she’s acted foolishly many times, even stupid enough to neglect family ties. But family ties are like a broken bone still connected by sinew, Dayou appears rough but is very delicate inside, so he definitely can’t ignore them. Luckily, his sister finally made a wise choice this time."
While talking, Pan Huiping’s face also showed a smile.
Moreover, it was that kind of self-immersed smiling expression, as if she thought of something, her smile lingered.
Chen Xiao suddenly became alert.
This meal was one Pan Huiping treated them to.
The main person being invited, Chen Xiao wasn’t being narcissistic, but felt it should be him.
Yet sitting here, everything Pan Huiping said was about Liu Dayou.
All this oddness made Chen Xiao unconsciously ask:
"Captain Pan, did nothing else happen when you landed yesterday?"
Pan Huiping shook her head: "No."
"That’s truly strange." Chen Xiao sighed.
"What’s strange?"
Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, since the case is considered over now, have you contacted Director Zhang?"
Pan Huiping’s expression changed: "Ah... I wouldn’t have realized if you hadn’t mentioned it, just when the leader was discussing investments with me, fearing you might worry about me, I called Brother Xian."
"After that call, I got so busy I forgot him!"
After saying this, Pan Huiping directly walked out of the restaurant to call Zhang Xian.
Chen Xiao watched her back, then looked towards Liu Dayou still chatting enthusiastically with the restaurant owner at the counter, inexplicably said:
"You two stop messing around, you’re really going to make me lose myself like this!"
