Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 373: Haohao!

Chen Xiao remembers very clearly.

Last night when they left, everything was fine.

Now how did it get smashed?

Chen Xiao looked through the window at the mess inside, and couldn’t help but glance at the phone number left on the sign,

but after some thought, felt it wasn’t appropriate.

Just then, a store next door opened its doors.

Those who serve late-night snacks tend to open late in the morning.

Only in the afternoon do some stores slowly begin to open.

Chen Xiao walked over and asked, "Boss, what’s going on with Hsu Fu Chi next door? Was there trouble last night?"

The boss immediately replied, "No trouble, it was Xu Fu’s wife who smashed it."

In memory, the boss lady of the food stall didn’t seem like the aggressive type, which made Chen Xiao quite puzzled.

However, the neighboring boss grinned wickedly: "I heard Xu Fu had a woman on the side, and somehow, his wife found out last night, leading to the shop being trashed!"

Chen Xiao widened his eyes in surprise: "So explosive!"

"Who wouldn’t say so! With their business doing so well, I can’t even imagine where Xu Fu found the time to keep a woman!"

"Well, time is like water, squeeze it a bit, and you’ll find some! But how come she suddenly realized this morning?" Chen Xiao joined in the gossip.

The neighbor responded, "Not sure, it’s said that the police came asking lots of questions, then the boss lady found out."

As he spoke, it seemed the neighboring boss had a good sleep and was quite animated:

"I kind of figured out while they were arguing, that Old Xu has more than just one! So, it’s said men are no good, they turn bad when they have money! Look at him, busy like a dog all day, only free when buying groceries."

"Such little time, yet he managed to use it perfectly. Yet I can understand Old Xu, being a man, who doesn’t want a son? Unfortunately, Old Xu’s wife couldn’t conceive after having one."

The neighboring boss sighed repeatedly.

Yet in his eyes, Chen Xiao also saw a hint of deep envy.

Chen Xiao smiled and didn’t say much more.

But as he turned, Chen Xiao’s expression immediately sunk.

He dialed the number on the sign; a woman answered.

"Hello, who is this?"

"The boss lady of Hsu Fu Chi, right? I’m the police officer who came to your food stall last night."

"Ah... Officer, is there something else?"

"Open the door, I want to talk with your boss Xu about his affairs with those women."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, but finally a ’yes’ returned.

Before long, he saw someone quickly coming down the stairs through the window.

Chen Xiao watched the boss lady open the door.

She kept her head down, her face showed some bruises.

Xiaoji couldn’t help but ask, "Boss lady, your husband makes mistakes, and he still has the nerve to hit you?"

"I... I accidentally hit the door edge myself. If he ever dared to hit me, I’d cut him!"

The boss lady gritted her teeth, scaring Xiaoji into shrinking back.

But quickly, the boss lady asked, "Officer, I questioned him this morning, he doesn’t know the woman you were looking for last night."

"Let him come out and talk then."

"Or you can come upstairs with me, he’s not fit to come down now, I... I beat him up, and he only got back from bandaging at nine o’clock."

Chen Xiao opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

As the boss lady turned, Liu Dayou sincerely praised:

"I never thought such a small body of hers could contain such fierce strength!"

Chen Xiao signaled with his eyes, and Liu Dayou sheepishly smiled and obediently followed behind.

All the way upstairs, Chen Xiao saw Xu Fu in the bedroom.

The most noticeable thing about Xu Fu now was the scratch marks on his face.

Those were clearly wounds that lost flesh!

Boss Xu saw his wife and showed a hint of fear in his eyes.

But upon seeing Chen Xiao, his gaze became more profound.

There was even a reluctance to look!

This evasiveness made Chen Xiao suspect Boss Xu is a very good pretender.

He remembered very well, when visiting the food stall, Chen Xiao asked him if he knew Qiu Tingfang.

But Xu Fu’s face remained calm and unflustered.

That demeanor made Chen Xiao mistakenly believe he really didn’t know.

But if he didn’t know, why such a reaction now?

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao decided not to beat around the bush and asked directly:

"You know the woman I asked about last night, don’t you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fu immediately showed an apologizing expression, yet responded:

"I really don’t know!"

Chen Xiao’s expression turned cold.

But the boss lady at this point smacked Xu Fu’s face:

"You’re lying again!"

"Officer, he’s a real good pretender, but once he lies I can instantly tell. He’s stubbornly lying right now!"

Xu Fu was about to cry.

Chen Xiao’s expression grew colder as he said:

"She’s dead, so are you going to tell me the truth or not? If you don’t, I’ll have to take you to the criminal police unit."

Upon hearing the first three words, the boss lady’s face changed.

Xu Fu was also astonished and then said, "Dead?!"

"Yes! So, tell me how you got to know her, now it involves a life, every word must hold you accountable, understand?"

Xu Fu’s eyes widened, yet fearfully looked at his wife.

Seeing this, the boss lady incredulously asked: "Another woman you found outside?"

Xu Fu nodded, and the boss lady raised her hand again: "Xu Fu, just how many women outside are there that I don’t know about?! Where do you get so much time and energy?!"

"You can always squeeze out a little time, but honey, I broke it off with her long ago, two years ago! Believe me, now I only have that one outside!" Xu Fu shamelessly pleaded.

The boss lady’s eyes turned red.

But not the red for wanting to hit, rather the helpless feeling of grievance.

Hearing this, Chen Xiao worried they might entangle again, so he asked once more:

"What’s her name?"

"Wang Hao."

"Surname Wang?"

"Yes, sometimes I call her Xiaowang, other times I call her Haohao. She’s very clingy, probably due to her childhood experience. Anyway, every time I visit her, she can’t bear to let me leave. Later, she got pregnant, but just a few days later, accidentally lost it."

"It was because the child was lost that she left me without looking back."

Maybe it really was because a life was involved.

Xu Fu didn’t dare to hide anymore, and spilled everything out.

He just didn’t notice, while he talked the boss lady kept her mouth shut, tears dropping persistently.

Chen Xiao didn’t have the heart to comfort the boss lady.

He caught an important clue in Xu Fu’s words.

This probably relates to her childhood experience!

Xu Fu actually knows about Wang Hao’s childhood experience!
