Wu Mingcheng responded,

"Okay, Uncle Chen, I understand."

As Chen Xincheng was leaving, he said something.

"Keep an eye on Li Dawei, that kid's a handful."

At this moment, Li Dawei immediately chased after him.

"Master, would you like me to go with you?"

Chen Xincheng glanced up at him briefly.

"Need not,"

Li Dawei stood there, watching Chen Xincheng leave, and then said to Wu Mingcheng,

"Mingcheng, what do you think happened to Master?"

As Wu Mingcheng walked back, he said...

“Something happened at Uncle Chen’s home, don’t worry. Uncle Chen is definitely more thoughtful than us. He’ll definitely call us if anything happens.”

Back in the duty room, Li Dawei seemed restless and uneasy.

Wu Mingcheng, however, remained much calmer. He knew that their worrying here was futile and would do no good.

At that moment, Gao Chao walked in.

"Hey, Mingcheng, you two are both here? Great, that's how young police officers should be. Come on, let's go for a walk around the jurisdiction."

The three of them walked out of the courtyard as they talked.

Li Dawei couldn't help but ask at this point.

"Director Gao, is my master...?"

Gao Chao glanced at him.

"It's nothing, don't make wild guesses,"

Li Dawei said with a forced smile,

"Director Gao, please tell me! I'm his apprentice, maybe I can help you with something?"

Gao Chao chuckled softly and said,

"What can you do? You should learn from Mingcheng; his relationship with Officer Chen is similar to yours, isn't it?"

Look how calm they are! And look at you, so distracted. Is that how a police officer should act? Alright, get on with the car!

Li Dawei immediately felt helpless, lowered his head, and got into the car.

At that moment, Chen Xincheng parked his car on the side of the road, and a well-dressed woman with a worried expression walked over.

This woman was Shang Zhen, Chen Xincheng's ex-wife. He rolled down his car window and called out to her; the woman got into the car.

Before she could even sit down properly, Chen Xincheng asked anxiously,

"What exactly happened? What happened to our daughter?"

Before Shangzhen could speak, she began wiping away tears.

Seeing her start to cry, Chen Xincheng became even more anxious.

"Stop crying, tell me quickly, what happened to Jiajia?"

Shangzhen said with resentment,

"You're even questioning me now. Have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a father all these years?"

"We're divorced. You can ignore me, but Jiajia, you should at least care about me a little more."

Chen Xincheng frowned.

"Are we going to settle old scores again? What's the point of bringing up those old grievances? Just tell me what happened to Jiajia?"

Shangzhen then spoke up.

"She was doing very well learning to paint before, and everyone else who studied with her was paying for good painters to teach their children personally."

She's not a genius, and I can't afford a painter, but I can afford a private tutor.

After a few lessons, she suddenly said she didn't want to continue and insisted that I get a full refund.

Chen Xincheng inquired,

"Why?"

Shangzhen was still crying there.

"How would I know? You know how rebellious your daughter is."

Chen Xincheng remembered,

"I saw her a few days ago. She was dressed in a very flashy way. I was just about to ask you what was going on with her."

Shangzhen said,

"The child said he didn't need my money and wanted to earn his own living."

Chen Xincheng said with some dissatisfaction,

"Well, you should at least tell me, right? Even though I might not be able to afford a private tutor for her."

But I'll sell everything I own to pay for her tutoring class; I can manage that."

Chapter 490 Creating a conducive atmosphere?

Hearing Chen Xincheng's boastful words, Shang Zhen said in a disdainful tone,

"How many pots do you have? How much iron can you sell them for? Do you know how much money you'll have to spend on this?"

Seeing that Shangzhen was turning her anger towards him again, Chen Xincheng couldn't help but feel a little exasperated.

"How did this all come back to me? What's Jiajia up to now?"

Shangzhen found it difficult to say, so she could only whisper,

"Jiajia will be there to liven things up,"

Upon hearing this term, Chen Xincheng was somewhat stunned.

"What... what does 'creating an atmosphere' mean?"

Shangzhen could only explain, feeling ashamed.

"I went to a bar to keep someone company while they drank."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xincheng almost jumped up, exclaiming in surprise—

"What did you say?"

Shangzhen's tears fell again, uncontrollably.

"She said she wanted to earn her own money for art lessons, so she went to the bar,"

Chen Xincheng's face suddenly contorted into a ferocious expression. He grabbed Shangzhen and loudly questioned her.

"You're the child's biological mother, how could you let her do such a thing? Why would she want to earn that kind of money?"

Shangzhen broke free from Chen Xincheng and straightened her clothes.

"What can I do? I've scolded her, I've cried her out, but she insists on going. What can I do? I've given her plenty of money, but she won't take it."

Chen Xincheng said with red eyes,

Which bar did Jiajia go to?

Shangzhen responded,

"The biggest one on the main street in front of the county government, the one called Blue Moonlight,"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xincheng said in a low voice,

"You may leave now, I'm going to find my daughter,"

Shang Zhen rolled her eyes at him, muttered something, and got out of the car. Chen Xincheng stepped on the gas, and the car roared off.

Inside the Blue Moonlight Bar, Jiajia, heavily made up, stood there helplessly.

A mother was pushing her in a stroller.

“Go ahead, it’s just about having a few drinks with the guests. If you don’t even drink a drink with them, how are you going to earn tips?”

Little sister, let me tell you, as long as you serve the guests well, they'll be quite generous with their money."

Jiajia hesitated before following her into the private room, when suddenly a large hand reached out and pulled her along.

Jiajia was startled. She looked up and saw Chen Xincheng. Without saying a word, she struggled desperately to pull herself back.

Chen Xincheng said,

"Jiajia, aren't you trying to kill your father? Come home with me,"

Jiajia struggled as she spoke.

"What are you doing? Let go of me, I'm at work!"
