Chapter 170

Clearly, Xu Jiang was slowly starting to take Gao Qiqiang seriously.

At the same time, he was overwhelmed by Chen Shuting’s matter.

In his words, he had already made huge concessions compared to last time.

He no longer pursued the evidence of Huang Cuicui in Gao Qiqiang’s hands.

He only demanded that Chen Shuting be dealt with, and he was willing to let Gao Qiqiang and those around him go.

And Gao Qiqiang naturally wouldn't refuse to give him this face.

Being able to negotiate to this point was already beyond his expectations!

Picking up the note,

Gao Qiqiang walked straight out of the private room.

And as Gao Qiqiang closed the door,

Xu Jiang couldn't hold it anymore! He hurriedly covered his smashed head and writhed violently on the sofa!

"It hurts! Damn it!! It hurts!!"

On the other side,

Gao Qiqiang also hurriedly covered his head, leaning against the wall to steady himself.

Suddenly,

the screen was filled with "hahaha" comments.

Two big bosses, in front of each other, didn't show a single expression on their faces, preferring to be in agony rather than break their composure.

Upon learning that Chen Shuting had not revealed information to the police,

Gao Qiqiang and Gao Qisheng had a discussion,

and it seemed they had found a breakthrough!

The evidence of Huang Cuicui was just a bluff! They didn't really have it in their hands!

So the top priority was to obtain the lifeline of Xu Jiang that Chen Shuting held!

Only then could they ensure nothing went wrong!

And the next day,

Gao Qisheng went directly to the school gate of Chen Shuting’s child and successfully got hired as the child’s tutor.

And as all viewers expected,

there was a female police officer sitting in Chen Shuting’s home, supposedly for protection but actually for surveillance.

After inspection, Gao Qisheng successfully entered the room to teach.

Taking advantage of the gap while serving fruit,

Chen Shuting whispered,

"You dare to come even with police here, you’ve got guts?"

"Actually, I’m very scared... but I can't not come..."

"Why?"

"For my family. My brother raised money to open a shop for me, so he went to collect the debt from Xu Lei, which is why we got into so much trouble."

Gao Qisheng said as he had planned, clearly still a bit scared, but his tone carried firmness.

"I told you to collect the debt, not to kill anyone."

"My brother didn't kill anyone; Xu Lei electrocuted himself while fishing! Please, you must believe us!"

"What’s the use of believing or not? My man is already dead."

Saying this, Chen Shuting glanced at the police officer in the distance, confirmed the safety of the conversation, and continued pouring coffee calmly.

And Gao Qisheng changed his approach.

"You think you can cooperate with the police, but what you never expected is that there are Xu Jiang’s eyes and ears among the police!"

"You don't know what to do now."

"Right, Sister Chen?"

Clearly hit on her mind, Chen Shuting was silent for a moment.

And Gao Qiqiang struck while the iron was hot.

"We will help you get rid of Xu Jiang."

After pondering for a moment,

taking advantage of helping the child with homework,

Chen Shuting asked,

"Who are you two?"

"Me and my brother."

"Your brother?"

"Don't worry, my brother is even more capable than me."

Listening to Gao Qiqiang’s firm tone,

Chen Shuting smiled.

"You two want to get rid of Xu Jiang? Why?"

"He has already threatened my family; it cannot be forgiven!"

Saying this, a hint of murderous intent appeared on Gao Qisheng’s face.

And these firm words made Chen Shuting look at the other party seriously for the first time.

"Then what do you plan to do?"

"He is so afraid of you cooperating with the police; what do you have on him?"

As Gao Qisheng asked the question,

the topic finally got on track.

"Our family’s former driver can prove that Xu Jiang killed someone."

"I know where he is."

Suddenly,

Gao Qisheng looked directly at Chen Shuting and said seriously,

"Can you give me the address?"

But just then,

the arrival of the female police officer interrupted their conversation.

The questioning came to nothing.

Countless viewers cried out in pity!

Seeing that they were just one step away from persuading Chen Shuting! From getting Xu Jiang’s criminal evidence! From holding the initiative completely in their hands!

But besides pity,

the viewers had no other way!

[Holy crap! Just a little bit more!!]

[No wonder Xu Jiang is so scared! So it was that driver who betrayed Bai Jiangbo who also betrayed Xu Jiang?!]

[This is something the driver saw with his own eyes! A witness!!]

[So Chen Shuting hid that driver!!]

[This evidence is too fatal!]

[What a pity! Chen Shuting seemed to be on the verge of being persuaded!!]

[Arranging a female police officer at home to monitor... this is too much...]

In the scene,

the visit of a customer to the Little Smart shop left all viewers with no time to think further!

"Gao Qi...sheng?"

An Xin thought for two seconds and accurately called out the name.

And Gao Qiqiang, who was sweeping the floor, was happy.

"Officer An? Why are you here?"

"You two brothers can't make enough money! A fish stall isn't enough for you! You’re working another job here?"

An Xin teased.

"I transferred the fish stall to someone else! We brothers just opened this place!"

"Oh? You opened it?"

"Yeah! Qiangsheng Little Smart!"

Suddenly,

the few of them started laughing and talking.

And An Xin visited the shop and said naturally,

"Hey, tell me, why am I hungry every time I see you? Do you have anything to eat?"

"Yes! There’s a noodle shop there, my treat!"

Gao Qiqiang smiled warmly and pulled An Xin out the door.

And Gao Qisheng stayed behind to watch the shop.

In the noodle shop,

An Xin and Gao Qiqiang sat down.

An Xin couldn't help but sigh,

"It’s been really busy lately, so many things."

"If there’s anything I can help with, just say the word."

Gao Qiqiang said while wiping the table.

But An Xin seemed to take it seriously and replied earnestly,

"What a coincidence, there really is one thing!"

"Oh?"

"There is a person who holds some evidence of the case we want! But this person just won't cooperate."

"What’s her name?"

"It’s a woman, named Chen Shuting."

Following An Xin’s words,

the atmosphere in the shop suddenly froze.

All viewers felt their hearts tighten.

They didn't know if An Xin mentioned Chen Shuting intentionally or unintentionally...

And he was saying it to Gao Qiqiang!
