CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

What kind of place is Old Factory Street? Anyone with a bit of money wouldn't choose to live on this old street.

No new people will move in...

……

Gao family.

Outside.

As soon as Tang Xiaolong knocked on the door, Gao Qiqiang opened it with a smile: "Xiaolong and Xiaohu, come in quickly, all that's missing are these few pounds of shrimp you have."

Gao Yue also came running over at full speed: "Uncle, uncle, have my prawns arrived yet?"

With one hand holding shrimp and the other carrying Xiao Gaoyue, Gao Qiqiang gestured for the two Tang brothers to sit down before heading towards the kitchen.

Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu sat awkwardly on the sofa: "Brother Qilin."

Gao Qilin nodded slightly, then handed cigarettes to the two of them and lit one for himself.

"I called you here today because I have something to ask you."

“You’re from Old Factory Street. Go home and visit sometime. Have you seen any new faces lately? A middle-aged woman is taking care of this child, who is a little older than… Xiaoyue, but not by much.”

As Gao Qilin finished speaking, Tang Xiaolong's eyes widened involuntarily.

Tang Xiaohu hadn't quite come to his senses yet, but he nodded seriously: "I've got it, Brother Qilin. Are there any other characteristics?"

Gao Qilin rubbed his temples with a troubled expression: "This woman is Cao Chuang's wife, a key figure. Photos like this aren't something you can just get easily."

"You guys keep asking around, I'll go ask Officer An."

As Gao Qilin finished speaking.

Tang Xiaolong suddenly spoke up: "Brother Qilin, I think I saw... that woman you mentioned today."

"When I was buying groceries, I met a woman I had never seen before. I asked Lao Li why she moved to Jiuchang Street. Lao Li said he didn't know the specifics, only that she had started appearing in the last two weeks..."

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Visiting the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Progress on the Clues!

As Tang Xiaolong finished speaking, Gao Qilin raised an eyebrow slightly: "What a coincidence?"

Tang Xiaolong hesitated upon hearing this: "That's uncertain. In the old factory street area, people who are particularly struggling financially sometimes move in."

"After all, the rent is cheap, and the landlords basically don't care after renting it out, but most of them are those who sell their services as entertainers."

"The woman I saw today was middle-aged, and her demeanor didn't seem like that kind of person, so I asked her a couple of questions."

Gao Qilin nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, in that case, let my brother know so I can get you a camera too."

"Don't alert anyone. Take a picture of that woman and find out if she has any children."

Tang Xiaolong nodded seriously: "Brother Qilin, I understand."

On the contrary, Tang Xiaohu chuckled foolishly without a care in the world.

Following Brother Qilin is definitely the right thing to do.

They need to be provided with cameras!

……

into the night.

In Gao Qilin's house, in Chengcheng's bedroom.

Gao Qilin looked at Chengcheng with a hint of heartache: "You've lost weight recently."

Chengcheng smiled nonchalantly, then looked at her belly with loving eyes: "It's okay, this is normal during pregnancy. Sister Shuting was like this in the first few months too."

"Once my belly gets big in a few months, it will be too late to lose weight."

"This guy is such a troublemaker, he might be a son."

Gao Qilin smiled faintly and kissed Chengcheng's forehead: "It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl."

Chengcheng couldn't help but smile happily, and then hugged Gao Qilin's arm tightly.

"Qilin, I'm pregnant now, I can't be with you... You won't stop coming to see me, will you?"

"Bullshit."

Gao Qilin pinched Chengcheng's cheek: "So what am I doing now?"

"Alright, go to bed early and take good care of yourself."

But as Gao Qilin finished speaking, Chengcheng smiled and nodded, lying happily in Gao Qilin's arms.

I never imagined that one day I could find a safe haven, a real home...

At least for now, in front of Gao Qilin, she is a woman, the mother of his child, not a money-making machine, or a tool in the power struggles within the company!

……

The next day.

At the entrance of the Municipal Bureau.

Gao Qilin stopped the car and walked into the Municipal Bureau.

When Gao Qilin knocked on the office door, he didn't see An Xin. The person who opened the door was a small-eyed, unfamiliar policeman.

Gao Qilin pondered for a moment before speaking, "Zhang...Zhang Biao, right?"

A smile immediately appeared on Zhang Biao's face: "Oh, the great entrepreneur still remembers me? You're here to see An Xin today?"

Gao Qilin smiled and said without ceremony, "Have him treat me to dinner."

Zhang Biao nodded: "Alright, the big business tycoon only eats An Xin's food, we have no chance."

"Wait, I'll call him now."

……

Jinghai City.

The Cao family lived in an ordinary residential building.

An Xin stood at the security door, her pen constantly writing: "Tell me again, when was the last time the Cao family mother and son appeared..."

The neighbor said somewhat impatiently, "Didn't I ask before? It was last month, but I don't remember exactly when!"

Li Xiang frowned immediately: "Please cooperate with our work!"

The words fell.

Before An Xin could say anything more, her phone rang.

Just as An Xin was about to hang up, the caller turned out to be Gao Qilin.

In a flash, An Xin suddenly remembered something.

How could I have forgotten!

Instead of going through all this misery knocking on doors, we should ask Gao Qilin first.

Although I don't know exactly what methods he uses, this kid is cunning and always manages to get unbelievable clues into my hands...

You should ask that!

……

After one hour.

An Xin rushed into the office, asking, "Where's Gao Qilin?"

As she spoke, An Xin turned her head left and right, searching around the office.

Gao Qilin, who was sitting in An Xin's seat, waved his hand: "This!"

An Xin walked over and saw a table full of snacks.

Rice crackers, senbei, jelly...

An Xin rolled her eyes: "You've come here for a picnic, haven't you?"

Gao Qilin shrugged: "They gave it to me."

As he spoke, Gao Qilin gestured with his chin to the side where several policewomen were chatting and laughing, occasionally glancing in his direction.

An Xin fell silent immediately.

Good heavens, all the good relationships I've built up in the bureau over the years are nothing compared to Gao Qilin's visit today...

Thinking this, An Xin tapped the table with a hint of frustration: "Let's go, let's go."

"You're not from our municipal bureau, what are you doing sitting here? If you have something to say, go outside!"

Before Gao Qilin could retort, An Xin quickly added, "I'll treat you to dinner. You can have any of the pig's feet noodles or rice noodle rolls you like."

Gao Qilin said helplessly, "Isn't this treatment too poor?"

An Xin pointed to the wallet in her arms: "With this little bit of money, I can treat you to sea cucumber and abalone every day, and I won't need to eat anything else!"

"Besides, you're an entrepreneur and I'm a policeman. What kind of behavior would it be for us to go to a place like that?"

Zhang Biao chuckled from behind, "Brother Qilin, do you have any information to share? I'll treat you to something nice!"
