I'm a street kid, but my wife, a policewoman, won't divorce her

Chapter 599: Wind!

It’s not that Chen Xiao thinks too much.

Even a worker is studied over and over again.

It is indeed at this stage that Chen Xiao has to be more cautious.

After watching the video again, Chen Xiao decided to meet the worker for safety reasons.

"Laogui, go and get that person for me. Remember, until we are sure that he has any connection with the people who are messing with us, he is a worker working for us."

"I understand, Mr. Chen."

Lao Gui received the order and left.

A few minutes later, Lao Gui brought the person to Chen Xiao.

The worker stood in front of Chen Xiao, looking a little reserved at the moment.

Chen Xiao stood up, took out a cigarette and asked with a smile: "Uncle, will you?"

The worker smiled on his tanned face, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes, but he still shook his head and said:

"Mr. Chen, please don't waste your good cigarettes by letting me smoke them."

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Cigarettes, no matter whether they are good or bad, are for people to smoke. Don't be so reserved."

Lao Gui could tell that Chen Xiao was not as polite to the migrant workers as he said, but that he respected them from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't know that Chen Xiao's father was also a migrant worker.

In the past, his father followed the contractor around the country to make a living.

The worker took the cigarette from Chen Xiao, took a deep puff, and then Chen Xiao said:
"Laogui, go find some supermarkets to buy water. Buy as much as you can. Remember to use iced water. Black tea and green tea are best."

Chen Xiao knew very well that many of the older men on the construction site liked to carry a teapot filled with tea.

But now the weather is hot, drinking something cold will be more comfortable.

After waiting for Lao Gui to leave, Chen Xiao started to ask about the main business:
"Uncle, were you there when the construction started?"

The worker nodded while smoking a cigarette: "I have worked with Boss Li for almost ten years. He calls me whenever there is work. I have been here since the first day of construction!"

"Then the construction site was peaceful during the days you worked, right? Did anything go wrong?"

The worker did not think about it and shook his head and said, "Under the leadership of Mr. Chen and Mr. Guo, our construction site is very peaceful. The two bosses pay us on time and generously. No one even complains!"

"That's good. When you're out there making money, you just want to be safe and secure, and it's good as long as nothing goes wrong."

Chen Xiao said this with a smile, as if the topic had ended here.

But a trace of doubt flashed across the worker's eyes at this time. Chen Xiao keenly caught it and asked:

"Uncle, how old are you this year?"

"Almost fifty."

"Wow, it's not easy to do such a high-intensity job at this age!"

"There's nothing I can do. I have many children in my family, two of whom are in college and one is in the third year of high school. Every day when I open my eyes, I think about one thing, and that is to earn every penny I can!" the worker replied.

"But uncle has hope for the future, doesn't he? There are three children in the family, two are in college and one is in the third year of high school. Maybe by this time next year, there will be three of them in college!"

At this point, the worker showed a hint of pride on his face:

"I hope so! But my youngest daughter is also very ambitious. Her goal is to get into a 985 university. The son and daughter ahead of her are not bad either. They are both 211 universities!"

Chen Xiao gave a thumbs up.

Three children, two of them are from 211 universities and one is likely to be from 985 universities. For an ordinary family, it is no exaggeration to say that their ancestors’ graves are filled with wealth.

If all three children are filial and motivated, the worker will definitely have a happy future.

However, when the worker mentioned his own child, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. Chen Xiao also caught this hesitation and asked:

"Uncle, do you have anything to say to me?"

The worker scratched his head and laughed dryly, "Boss Chen, actually when you called me here, my co-workers asked me to do something."

"what?"

"They heard that you were inviting us to dinner after you came, so they were thinking if you could treat us to a drink tonight? Hehehehe!"

Chen Xiao laughed: "I've thought of it for you guys a long time ago, but I'll order three bottles of beer for each person. We all have to work, so hangovers are not suitable. Otherwise, I'll treat everyone to a drink."

"Three bottles are enough! Mr. Chen is so generous!"

"I only come here occasionally. Mr. Guo is really generous to give you extra meals when he has nothing to do."

"Mr. Guo is also a very good boss. As long as Mr. Li takes us to do the work given by Mr. Guo, we have never lost a penny. Nowadays, there are more and more black-hearted project bosses out there!"

Chen Xiao looked at him deeply and asked again: "Uncle, do you really have nothing else to tell me?"

The worker shook his head again: "Mr. Chen is gone."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work, but please take the drink away from Lao Gui, so we don't have to ask someone to bring it to you later."

"Good."

After buying water, Lao Gui only brought back one item.

There were many people on the construction site, and we had to find tools to pull over the frozen goods from several supermarkets.

Lao Gui handed Chen Xiao a bottle he had bought specially and asked:

"Mr. Chen, have you found out anything?"

"He should know something."

A cold light flashed in Lao Gui's eyes: "MD, then he won't say it?"

"He had concerns, so he didn't dare to speak."

"Then wait for me. I'll take him aside and interrogate him, and then you'll know everything."

"What? Are you planning to resort to lynching?" Chen Xiao asked with a smile. Lao Gui said in a deep voice:
"These people are all old employees of Mr. Guo, so..."

Chen Xiao interrupted Lao Gui before he finished speaking: "They can't be considered as Lao Guo's support. They are selling their own labor in exchange for wages. Lao Guo can't be said to be kind to them. They can't be said to be ungrateful if they don't say anything when they encounter problems."

"Of course, if he really found the body and didn't tell anyone, then he would be wrong."

Lao Gui nodded slightly: "What should we do next?"

"Spread the word, don't specify what it is, just let everyone know that something big has happened at the construction site, and I'm here to find the person who knows about it. Also, spread the word about what kind of consequences that person might face if we find out."

"Finally..." Chen Xiao paused and then said:

"Please inform Guo Qing and ask him to give me the information of the contractor that the worker just now worked for. His surname is Li."

"Okay Mr. Chen."

Lao Gui received the order and left again.

Chen Xiao stood on a high place, looking at the worker who was carrying water slowly, and narrowed his eyes:

"You must know something. Laogui took the picture of you looking at me. You must not be calm."

"You looked at me many times, and your expression seemed calm, but in fact you couldn't grasp the seriousness of the matter, so you were hesitating."

"But now the news has gotten out, old uncle...if you're smart, you should tell me as soon as possible, otherwise some people might do something to you!"
