Chapter 497: Chapter 494
It was not that their Captain cared about where he stood; what he cared about was bringing criminals to justice.
Still, he couldn’t help being exceedingly curious about the changes the Director underwent later:
“Captain, what exactly did the Director experience in there?”
Lu Xiao brushed his nose, his lips slightly pursed, and without speaking, he continued to drive seriously.
Sitting in the back, however, was a young man, an assistant sent over by Lu Xiao from Beijing, who was fully aware of everything.
Seeing that Lu Xiao didn’t seem to object, he simply cleared his throat and said,
“Bro, the call was from someone at the central level up there.”
“What?” Ga Zhuo was shocked upon hearing this.
Could it be true? Had the case alarmed such high-level authorities?
Shocked, he also asked, “How did they get in touch…?”
Unexpectedly, the young man started to laugh and said,
“How else could they get in touch? Captain Lu and the people up there are family.”
A father and son relationship.
With this revelation,
He became deeply shocked, finding it hard to believe.
Yet, Lu Xiao looked at him calmly and said, “What’s the matter? We’re about to close the net. Get ready, and by the way, where is the person you guys captured now?”
The young man in the back seat said, “Don’t worry, Captain Lu, we took him away. He’s now tied up where I’m staying. I’m going to go back now to get him something to eat.”
Lu Xiao hummed nonchalantly, “There’s no other choice now. Once everything is over, let him go. Don’t let him mess things up and lose his life.”
After cooperating with the police, they gradually closed the net under secret collaboration between both sides.
And the undercover agent Lu Xiao had planted next to Mr. Wu had successfully met Li Tingze.
The undercover reported that Li Tingze was now eagerly searching for information about that person and the cultural relics and jewelry. In that case, it would be best to go with the flow.
The only thing now was to wait for the undercover to gather more of Li Tingze’s secrets, especially—about that murder case in the west.
Who had committed the murder? As long as they held enough evidence, they could make him pay with his life.
Everything was ready and waiting for the signal.
That day, after dealing with his business, Lu Xiao returned in the afternoon.
When he looked at his phone, he found that Wen Xian had already sent him a message.
[Kiss kiss hubby, when are you coming back?]
Then, not an hour or two later, she sent:
[Dear, I’ve made you something delicious, waiting for you to come back.]
Lu Xiao, looking at the message, found the corners of his lips lifting unconsciously.
If anyone else saw this smile, they would certainly be taken aback.
No one had ever seen the stern and severe Captain smile so… sweetly.
Actually, he was not just feeling sweetness but happiness as well.
In Lu Xiao’s eyes, she would never know she was like a little wife who had once waited every day for her husband’s return, giving him a sense of destination and family.
Now Lu Xiao was just waiting to acquire decisive evidence and then take down Li Tingze in one fell swoop.
But he had not expected that day would come so quickly.
That evening, when Lu Xiao returned, he bought a bunch of household goods and food from the market.
He had just come in, and before he could even stomp his feet, the door was suddenly opened.
Wen Xian, wearing a loose knitted coat, her slightly curled long hair—
