Chapter 3668: The Lost Zhao Xu

Xu Lingzhu was sitting in the room with crossed legs, practicing her techniques.
She heard a knocking sound on the door, "dududu!"
She stood up and walked to the door, opening it.
When I saw Li Qingqing coming, a pretty face flashed a look of surprise.
Li Qingqing smiled slightly and said to Xu Lingzhu, "Miss Xu, may I come in and sit for a while?"
"Of course!" Xu Lingzhu flashed to the side and let Li Qingqing into the room.
Wife Li Qingqing went to talk to Xu Lingzhu, which made Zhao Xu a little anxious, not knowing what these two women would talk about when they got together.
Li Qingqing sat down, and Xu Lingzhu poured her a cup of tea.
Saying, "Madam Zhao, have some tea!"
"Miss Xu, you can just call me Qingqing. Calling me Madam Zhao feels a bit awkward!"
Xu Lingzhu said, "You're slightly older than me, so can I call you Sister Qingqing?"
"Of course!" Li Qingqing agreed with a smile.
Li Qingqing took a sip of tea and said to Xu Lingzhu, "Miss Xu, I appreciate your help with the matter in Wuzu Village this time!"
Xu Lingzhu smiled, saying, "You two are so polite! Your husband has already thanked me. Sister Qingqing, I don't think you came to see me just to say thank you, right?"
"I just wanted to talk to you."
Li Qingqing paused for a moment and looked at Xu Lingzhu, asking, "Miss Xu, do you believe in fate?"
Xu Lingzhu was taken aback by Li Qingqing's question, not understanding why she would ask such a thing.
After pondering for a while, I nodded and said, "I believe!"
"My master once warned me. A person's destiny is predetermined, with three parts relying on hard work and seven parts determined by fate. Therefore, it is difficult for people to go against their fate. I wonder why Qingqing is asking this?"
Li Qingqing smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing, just chatting casually!"
Xu Lingzhu, however, didn't think so and knew that Li Qingqing didn't speak the truth to her.
If it wasn't for Xu Lingzhu drawing a fate card that said "Houyi Shoots the Sun!", she wouldn't have had much entanglement with Zhao Xu.
Because of this destiny card, the two have been constantly brought together. Therefore, Xu Lingzhu firmly believes in fate.
Half an hour later, Li Qingqing came back.
Zhao Xu originally wanted to ask Li Qingqing what she and Xu Lingzhu talked about. When Li Qingqing didn't mention it, Zhao Xu didn't ask further.
Zhao Xu handed the child over to his wife, Li Qingqing, as it was almost time for his appointment with Su Rou. He hurriedly left the house alone in his car.
He arrived at Baiyi Road and Sichuan Szechuan Restaurant afterwards.
Zhao Xu arrived at the appointed time, just three minutes late. He called the owner over and ordered four specialty dishes from the restaurant: spicy chicken, boiled fish, husband and wife lung slices, and mapo tofu.
Ten minutes later, Su Rou arrived late.
Zhao Xu saw that Su Rou hadn't even had time to change into her police uniform, and knew that she had hurried here.
"I'm sorry I'm late!" Su Rou said.
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "No problem! Anyway, I have enough time today."
"Have you ordered?"
"Yes, I have!" Zhao Xu replied.
Although this restaurant is small, it quickly fills up when it's mealtime.
Some customers saw police officers dining in the restaurant and dared not make a lot of noise.
Soon, the dishes ordered by Zhao Xu were served one by one.
While eating, the two of them started chatting.
Zhao Xu lowered his voice and asked Su Rou, "Officer Su, what's the matter? Why do you urgently need to see me?"
Su Rou said, "You had Jingba help to eliminate the East China Gang, and your superiors are very satisfied with your performance. Among the four major forces, only the Nanxing Gang remains. Let me ask you, when will you take action against the Nanxing Gang?"
"Only the South Star Gang is left, so there's no rush. You help me convey the message to my superiors, and when the time is right, I will naturally take action against the South Star Gang," Zhao Xu replied.
"However..."
Zhao Xu saw Su Rou looking hesitant to speak and asked, "But what?"
"However, we have received information that a mysterious force has joined the Southern Star Gang. So, it won't be easy to eliminate the Southern Star Gang. Therefore, it is best to thoroughly understand and investigate the Southern Star Gang before taking action."
"Oh?" Zhao Xu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Even your police force doesn't know what organization the mysterious force that joined the Nanxing gang is?"
"Not sure!" Su Rou shook her head.
"Okay! I will put this matter on my schedule."
Zhao Xu only then realized that Su Rou was eager to see him because of the "Nanxing Gang" matter.
"By the way, Officer Su, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Go ahead!"
"Yang Lan of Huai'an Group has been kidnapped by Jiang Yuanqing of Tianwang Group. You have a wide network in the police industry, could you please use your contacts with Interpol to help me find out Jiang Yuanqing's whereabouts?" Zhao Xu said.
Su Rou stared at Zhao Xu and said, "Isn't Yang Huai'an a member of the Dongchang? Even if something happens to Yang Lan, it's a matter for the Dongchang. Why are you so anxious about this?"
"Yang Lan can be considered my childhood playmate, I don't want Xiaolan to get into trouble. Even though she is Yang Huai'an's daughter, she has never done anything harmful to me."
"Wow! You're quite protective of her. Alright! I'll help you investigate while I'm at it! I'll notify you once I have some information. However, it's better for your Wuzu Village to stay out of trouble recently. It's becoming too much for the higher-ups to handle."
Zhao Xu smiled bitterly and said, "It's those factory dogs who come to bother me! Of course, I don't want to fight with them, but I have no choice!"
"I know! It's because your superiors value your performance that they didn't investigate this matter. However, if this kind of situation happens frequently, it will have a negative impact on Lincity."
"I understand!" Zhao Xu nodded and said, "I believe that after this incident, the East Factory, West Factory, and the Hunters' Gate will quiet down for a while."
"That's good then!"
Su Rou picked up the chopsticks and took a little of each dish.
对赵旭说：“你选得这家川菜馆不错！以后吃川菜，我还要吃这家。”
“用我在这家店里办一张vip卡吗？”赵旭开着玩笑说。
"With your ability, I wouldn't be surprised if you take over this shop." Su Rou smiled.
"Officer Su, you've enlightened me. When I have time, I will talk to the owner of this shop. Otherwise, if you treat me as a long-term meal ticket, it could easily drain me financially."
"Hmph! You make it sound like I have a big appetite."
The two of them exchanged smiles.
Su Rou said, "My aunt asked me to pass on a message to you, asking you to visit her when you have time to the provincial capital. She might be transferred from there, but the official paperwork hasn't been finalized yet."
Zhao Xuwenshi was startled and asked anxiously, "Is this true?"
"Are you suggesting that I would lie to you?"
Zhao Xuwenshi felt a little disappointed after hearing this.
By the end of the year, Jinzhong would return to the family and no longer be in the provincial capital.
If Dong Baiwei is transferred from the provincial capital again, then if Zhao Xu goes to the provincial capital, he won't know anyone except for Yang Lan.
Su Rou saw Zhao Xu looking disappointed and advised him, "Come on! You're a grown man, why are you so sentimental? My aunt is not being transferred from the provincial capital right away. Even if she is, you can always visit her!"
Zhao Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Officer Su, please pass on to Aunt Dong that I will make time to visit her recently."
