Chapter 21: Low-Key Beauty Qiao Xiaoqiao
gy so that she could continue shopping.Summer received a call at this time from Huang Haitao."Doctor Summer, it's me, Huang Haitao!" Huang Haitao sounded very respectful over the phone. "I've already...Chapter 1: Big and Small Beauties
Jianghai City's Criminal Investigation Team.
After a brief silence, there was a sudden commotion.
"Qiao Xiaoqiao"
"Which Qiao Xiaoqiao"
"Could it be that Qiao Xiaoqiao"
"How could it possibly be her"
"It must be another person with the same name."
...
Hearing the name "Qiao Xiaoqiao," Huang Haitao initially felt that he might have misunderstood, for this was not a common name. Moreover, in Jianghai City, whenever anyone heard this name, they would instantly think of Qiao Xiaoqiao—she who, at just nineteen years old, had already made waves in the financial world as the prodigious genius of the Qiao family.
"Summer, is the Qiao Xiaoqiao you mentioned the one from the Qiao family" Huang Haitao couldn't help but ask. With his words, the bureau chief's voice echoed through the station, and for a moment, everyone fell silent, looking at Summer expectantly, waiting for her response.
Summer looked at Huang Haitao with a blank expression, as if he were an idiot. Of course Qiao Xiaoqiao was from the Qiao family; did anyone need to ask that
Before Long Bingbing could hold back her frustration any longer, she snapped, "Director, how can he possibly know Xiaoqiao He's a complete liar!"
Seeing Huang Haitao still hesitating, Long Bingbing finally pulled out her trump card. "Director, I'm going to call Xiaoqiao now and ask."
Hearing this, Summer was overjoyed. "Police sister, do you know Xiaoqiao's number Tell me quickly; I've been looking for her!"
"You don't even know her phone number, yet you dare to say she’s your wife" Long Bingbing shot a disdainful glance at Summer and pulled out her cell phone, dialing the number rapidly. "Just wait until that deadbeat liar exposes himself."
The call was quickly answered on the other end by a slightly tired voice. "Sister Ice"
"Xiaoqiao, it's me," Long Bingbing’s voice softened unintentionally, which surprised everyone present. Could this cold beauty also be so gentle
“Sister Ice, did you call to tell me something” Qiao Xiaoqiao asked directly.
"Xiaoqiao, I've apprehended someone who claims he's your husband…" Long Bingbing didn’t beat around the bush.
Xiaoqiao’s voice suddenly became urgent. Before Long Bingbing could finish her sentence, she interrupted, "Is his name Summer"
Long Bingbing froze for a moment with an ominous feeling in her heart. "Xiaoqiao, he does call himself Summer. How do you know…
"Is he in your criminal investigation squad" Qiao Xiaoqiao interrupted again.
"He is." Leng Bingbing had just said this when she heard a voice from the other end of the line say, "I'll be right over!"
Then, all Leng Bingbing could hear was the dial tone as the call had been hung up.
Leng Bingbing stood there dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe that Qiao Xiaoqiao really knew this thug called Xia Tian.
Huang Haitao saw Leng Bingbing act like a fool after making the phone call and couldn’t help asking, "Bingbing, what did Miss Qiao say"
Leng Bingbing looked at Xia Tian with a complicated expression and answered somewhat blankly, "Qiao said she'll be right over."
The group was stunned.
"Sis Cop, you’re too kind! Haha, I’m about to see my wife!" Xia Tian appeared incredibly excited; he had come to Jianghai City solely for the purpose of finding Qiao Xiaoqiao, and now that he could finally meet her, it naturally made him happy.
"Hick," what are you getting your hopes up for" An unhappy voice came from the doorway. It was Ye Mengying and the others who had just arrived, and the speaker was none other than Su Beibei.
"Eh Beautiful Sis, have you come" Xia Tian turned his head to see Ye Mengying; as for Su Beibei, he ignored her automatically.
Su Beibei immediately felt unhappy: "Hey, I’m talking to you!"
"Oh, what did you just say" Xia Tian finally glanced at Su Beibei.
"You!" Su Beibei waved her little fists, wanting to beat up Xia Tian but thinking about how she couldn't win against him, she put down her fists. "Bumpkin, you've already been caught by the police and are about to go to jail yet you're still so happy"
"I'm going to see my wife soon; of course I'm happy!" Xia Tian said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"Your wife" Su Beibei said dubiously. "Are you talking about Qiao Xiaoqiao"
"That's right, Xiaoqiao will come here to find me soon." In his good mood, Xia Tian answered Su Beibei's questions without reservation.
"You're dreaming!" Su Beibei said with a pout. "By the way, I want to ask you why did you hit my fourth elder brother"
"Your fourth elder brother Who is he" Xia Tian was a bit confused.
"He's Su Ziqiang!" Su Beibei said with ill-humor.
"Oh, you mean him. He deserved it," Xia Tian said casually.
The group was speechless; this reason for hitting someone was too strong.
Su Junfeng frowned; although he was dissatisfied with his brother Su Ziqiang and thought that he was good-for-nothing, no matter what, Su Ziqiang was still his brother, a member of the Su family. Hitting Su Ziqiang was like hitting the face of the Su family; he couldn't leave it unattended to.
However, the issue now is that Summer saved his life and his precious little sister yesterday, as well as Ye Mengying. If he were to pursue this matter, it wouldn't look good when word got out. Moreover, he had a feeling that even if he wanted to investigate further, Ye Mengying would prevent him from doing so.
"Director Huang, I'm Su Junfeng. My younger brother is Su Ziqiang." Thinking about this, Su Junfeng took the initiative to approach Huanghai Tao. Although there was no special relationship between them, they had both heard of each other's reputation.
"So you're Young Master Su Number Three," Huanghai Tao said with a smile. As the director of the city bureau, Huang Hai Tao held a high-ranking position and status-wise, he ranked higher than Su Junfeng. Nevertheless, he could not afford to disregard the influence of Su Family behind Su Junfeng.
"Director Huang, regarding my younger brother being injured..." Su Junfeng glanced at Summer.
Huanghai Tao quickly followed up: "Young Master Number Three, rest assured. We will handle this case impartially and ensure that the perpetrator does not escape justice!"
With a direct visit from someone of the Su Family, Huanghai Tao had no choice but to put aside his son's medical treatment and clarify his stance.
"Director Huang, you misunderstood my intention," Su Junfeng shook his head. "I meant that this is just a small misunderstanding between Summer and Ziqiang. Our family does not wish to pursue the matter further and hopes that Director Huang will not trouble Summer."
"Oh" Huanghai Tao was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Young Master Number Three, rest assured. We will handle this according to the law."
Despite proclaiming a fair legal process, it was clear that Summer was off the hook; even the victim’s family did not press charges and no injuries were confirmed by the forensic examination. What else could happen to Summer
Cold Bingbing on the side felt frustrated. Who exactly is this damned thug She had assumed that with Summer having offended the Su Family, it was a dead end for him. Yet now that they said there would be no pursuit of action against him, wasn't everything she planned going to fall through
"Third Brother, how can you let this big bad wolf off so easily" Su Beibei was quite displeased: "In my opinion, he should at least serve ten or eight days in custody!"
Hearing Subei Bei's words, Leng Bingbing strongly agreed. Even if this rogue doesn't have to go to jail, he should at least be put under administrative detention for half a month!
A melodious voice suddenly rang out: "Who wants to lock up my husband"
"Of course it's me... Ah..." Subei Bei turned around to look at the door and suddenly let out an exclamation of surprise, her eyes wide. "Qiao, Little Qiao Qiao"
All eyes were focused on a young girl standing by the door. She wasn't tall, about 160 centimeters, wearing a plain white T-shirt on top and light blue jeans on bottom. Just by looking at her outfit, she appeared like an ordinary neighborhood girl.
She had long eyelashes, big eyes, fair skin, a straight nose, and thin, delicate lips. Her exquisite features were set perfectly on her oval face, creating a stunningly beautiful visage, with a slender figure that was neither as sexy as Leng Bingbing's but still had prominent curves.
This was Qiao Xiaojiao—the exceptionally beautiful yet always plainly dressed Qiao Xiaojiao who disliked fancy jewelry and flashy sports cars but was a force to be reckoned with in the business world despite her seemingly delicate appearance.
"Wife, I finally found you!" Xia Tian cheered as he rushed towards Qiao Xiaojiao, scooping her up into his arms and spinning her around several times before putting her down.
"What are you doing"
"Let go of Miss Qiao!"
Two sharp voices called out. They were two young girls dressed in revealing outfits with short hair, tight tank tops, and shorts, their fair waists and long legs on display, quite alluring. In fact, they had been standing behind Qiao Xiaojiao the whole time; everyone was too focused on her to notice them until they spoke up.
"It's okay, they're friends," Qiao Xiaojiao smiled gently. "This is Xia Tian, my husband.", as an older brother, was actually still considered an outsider."Husband, can you make Feng'er recover faster" Right after Qiao Donghai left, Qiao Xiaoqiao asked Xia Tian."Sure. After I treat her wit...
