Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Two Paintings!

Chen Xiao followed Zhang Xian to meet Qi Wei.

As for the knife man.

Chen Xiao knew him all too well.

He could even guess what Knife Man would say when they met.

Sure enough, the two hadn’t walked far when they spotted Knife Man looking lost.

The moment he saw Chen Xiao, he immediately rushed over:

"Brother Chen, is there some kind of misunderstanding here too? Sister Weiwei has explained everything to us truthfully."

Sometimes Knife Man matched his age perfectly—naive, simple, and easily emotional.

At other times, Knife Man would exceed the behavior expected at his stage, especially when he encountered an older beautiful woman.

If it were in the past, Chen Xiao might have scolded Knife Man a bit, wasting effort on someone oblivious.

But now, Chen Xiao gave up and instead, played on Knife Man’s mind, asking:

"Fallen in again?"

Knife Man clenched his jaw, eventually nodding with some defeat: "I thought I’d be very clear-minded, but in the end, I overestimated myself."

"I understand, I understand, feelings grow over time."

"Bro, Sister Weiwei is not the kind of person you think she is, I’m very good at judging people!"

Chen Xiao suppressed the anger in his heart, forcing a smile: "Of course, you’ve never misjudged a woman before."

"Right, whether it’s Sister Yuling, Sister Aili, or Sister Weiwei, they are all in situations beyond their control, but they’ve never done anything illegal."

Chen Xiao took a deep breath, wanting to retort: You even know about Sister Yuling and Sister Aili, huh?

Only heaven knows how much your Sister Aili misses you in the city!

Chen Xiao swallowed his words, patted Knife Man’s shoulder again, and said:

"Stay clear-headed, I’m here for everything."

"I know, but Sister Weiwei looks strong on the outside, she’s actually very vulnerable, Brother Chen, could you pass a message for me?"

"Hmm, go ahead."

"Tell her: Don’t panic, hang in there, we’re here for you!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao laughed.

He grabbed Knife Man’s hand firmly: "Did you think the same when I was inside before?"

"No, I wasn’t worried at all when you went in."

"True brotherly love, huh!"

"No, bro, is there anyone in this world who can frame you?"

Chen Xiao’s expression stiffened.

Zhang Xian also looked at the two incredulously.

As soon as Knife Man saw his face, he turned his head to the side.

Zhang Xian coughed awkwardly, reminding him: "Chen Xiao, let’s go."

After saying goodbye to Knife Man, Chen Xiao left with Zhang Xian.

But remembering the look Knife Man gave Zhang Xian, he asked:

"What happened when you summoned Qi Wei?"

"We summoned her in the hotel, ahem... Knife Man was showering at the time and came out naked, so... you know."

Chen Xiao sighed: "He really can’t give you a good look then."

Zhang Xian shook his head and sighed.

Soon, the two arrived at the interrogation room.

Two policemen were initially taking her statement, but upon seeing Chen Xiao and Zhang Xian arrive, they left.

After they sat down, Qi Wei looked up at them.

There was a thoughtful look in her eyes, but eventually, her gaze settled on Zhang Xian.

"Director Zhang, why did you summon me? I asked those two officers earlier, and they acted so secretive, which I find puzzling."

Zhang Xian smiled and instead looked at Chen Xiao, as if asking for his input.

It was like a positioning of the identities among the three.

Qi Wei couldn’t determine who was in charge at first, so she looked at Zhang Xian.

But that’s Zhang Xian’s nature; when Chen Xiao is around, he speaks as little as possible.

After understanding the implication, Chen Xiao said directly:

"President Qi, do you need me to introduce myself? If not, I can tell you why you’re here—when we found Zuo Shu’s head, we discovered a strand of female hair."

"Of course, the identification result of that hair hasn’t yet come out. You could completely think Director Zhang is looking for trouble with you, summoning you without results. But in my view, there’s currently someone very malicious hiding in the shadows, and no one can assure that he won’t possibly target you."

As Chen Xiao spoke, Qi Wei couldn’t help but frown:

"What you mean is that, without any evidence, you summoned me, but you’re actually protecting me?"

"No one has arrested you; if you were arrested, it wouldn’t be like this."

Upon saying this, seeing Qi Wei wanted to respond, Chen Xiao continued:

"President Qi, we are not adversaries; there’s no need to be so confrontational. You and I both know that if that strand of hair is confirmed to be yours, all these events are targeting you and me."

"But before we determine the result, you’d better be under our watch, or no one can ensure anything might happen. Even if you now think your personal safety is secure, surely you’ve seen many TV dramas where trouble often arises in such scenarios."

Chen Xiao truly didn’t want to waste more time while talking with Qi Wei.

The latter calmed down, exhaled a breath, and said:

"I just hope you can be more gentle next time, just summon me, that kind of summoning is really embarrassing."

Zhang Xian chuckled: "At that time we couldn’t contact President Qi, so we had no choice but to break in. But rest assured, we understand President Qi’s position, we share what we should, and your private matters are unrelated to us."

"Hearing Director Zhang say so, I feel relieved." Qi Wei nodded, then looked at Chen Xiao:

"Mr. Chen, feel free to ask what you want to know."

Chen Xiao nodded: "First thing, did your husband Zuo Shu often go abroad? Especially to the Southeast Asia region."

Qi Wei frowned: "As a business owner, of course, he often went abroad. And the Southeast Asia area, that’s where he went most frequently."

Chen Xiao smiled: "Alright, I’ll provide two drawings for President Qi to identify."

"Sure, where are they?"

"I don’t have the originals, I’ll draw them for you now, it won’t take long."

Chen Xiao said, taking two sheets of paper and a pen from the table.

The first drawing was simple, and Chen Xiao drew it quickly.

Because he was drawing the Sacred Heart Church’s symbol, also a totem in the minds of followers like Xu Fu.

A dot in the center, with numerous lines infinitely extending outward.

As soon as this drawing was finished, Chen Xiao handed it to Qi Wei.

The latter looked at it and a hint of horror gradually appeared in her eyes:

"What is this?"

"Something related to the Sacred Heart Church!"

"Related to the Sacred Heart Church you mentioned?"

"Yes, can you recall where you’ve seen it?!"

At first, Qi Wei was anxious, then forced herself to calm down, raising a hand to stop Chen Xiao’s questioning:

"Wait, let me think about it!"

Listening to Qi Wei, Chen Xiao didn’t hurry, and then drew the second painting.

This second painting was of the "Ten Demon Sons"!

Unlike the Sacred Heart Church, this one took much longer to draw.

And Qi Wei kept holding the Sacred Heart Church’s symbol, seemingly lost in thought!
