63: Chapter 63: This is what the criminal looks like? Sorry, I didn't recognize him.

Chen Sheng returned his gaze to the system panel, looking at the second piece of information for today.

【Daily Intel 2: Liu Jun has incurred a massive debt due to online gambling and will be in complete default on the 23rd of this month. To raise funds, Liu Jun will be borrowing money from everyone in the near future.】

Chen Sheng: "..."

He had one question.

Who is Liu Jun?

He recalled everyone he had an impression of in his mind and was certain that the name Liu Jun was not among them.

As for those he didn't have an impression of?

They weren't close, and even if they called to borrow money, he wouldn't lend it to them anyway!

However, he still kept the name Liu Jun in mind. After all, since the system provided the intel, according to the system's rules, this information must be related to him.

It was just that he couldn't recall it for the moment.

Closing the system panel, since he had decided not to get involved in Hua Kun's business, Chen Sheng directly opened the ride-hailing app and began his journey as a driver for the day.

Unfortunately, he still hadn't encountered any eccentric customers today.

In the blink of an eye, the time had officially entered the latter half of July.

On the 21st, Chen Sheng and An Xiaonuan arrived at the Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital early. Blood draws were routine, and by the time they finished all the checks like the ultrasound and ECG, and handed the reports to the doctor, the morning was almost over.

What they got in return were just a few words from the doctor.

"The embryo is developing very well, keep it up. Also, you must pay attention to appropriate exercise during pregnancy."

"The next check-up is in half a month, mainly to monitor the development of the fetal heartbeat. Also, go back and discuss where you want to give birth. If you choose our hospital, you will need to open a maternity file for the pregnant woman when you come for the next check-up."

After the doctor finished giving instructions, Chen Sheng accompanied An Xiaonuan to the nurse station, where they listened to half an hour of pregnancy precautions—what foods to avoid, what foods to eat less of, and what movements could help alleviate pregnancy symptoms...

By the time the two came out of the hospital, it was already approaching noon.

The scorching sun outside made the two dive into the car without a second's delay. After starting the ignition and adjusting the air conditioning fan speed, Chen Sheng asked An Xiaonuan, who was fastening her seatbelt, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

An Xiaonuan thought for a moment and said, "It's too hot and I have no appetite. How about we go back and eat at that Caos Braised Duck by the side gate? I happen to be craving their hot pot noodles."

Chen Sheng: "..."

Could he say that he had just eaten there yesterday afternoon?

But as the saying went, if they didn't eat it now, they wouldn't have another chance.

"Fine! Then let's eat at Caos Braised Duck."

After the temperature inside the car dropped, Chen Sheng shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator. The vehicle slowly drove out of the parking lot. After driving for nearly half an hour, the car stopped at a roadside parking space not far from Caos Braised Duck.

Getting out of the car, they braved the sun and ran quickly toward the Caos Braised Duck shop. Before they even arrived, Cao Zan, who was by the boiler at the entrance, lifting a basket and blanching vegetables back and forth in the boiling water, saw the two coming and quickly greeted them with a smile: "Yo! Haven't seen you two in a while. What would you like to eat today?"

Cao Zan nodded at Chen Sheng and then said to An Xiaonuan, "Hurry inside, the air conditioning is on."

"Boss! I'll have a standard portion, plus an order of tender beef and an order of hot pot noodles. Don't make it too spicy." An Xiaonuan quickly finished ordering and hurried to lift the door curtain to hide inside the shop.

Cao Zan looked at Chen Sheng, "And you, Handsome Guy?"

Chen Sheng took out his cigarette case and handed one to Cao Zan, then looked at him and said, "Boss, I'll have a standard portion too, plus an order of duck blood and an order of duck intestine. Is there any duck offal left today?"

Cao Zan skillfully took the cigarette and placed it on the shelf used for ingredients nearby.

Cao Zan smoked, but in the many years he had known him, he had never seen him smoke while preparing food. He had never even seen him tuck a cigarette he received behind his ear while preparing food; he always placed it on the shelf just like he did a moment ago.

But when Cao Zan wasn't preparing food, a cigarette was almost never far from his hand. When others offered him a cigarette, if he didn't have one in his hand, he would hold it between his fingers; if he already had one, he would skillfully tuck it behind his ear.

In his own words, "Working in the catering industry is all about conscience. I can't control others, but I can control myself, so that every customer who comes here can eat with peace of mind."

"At the same time, I also welcome everyone to come and spot-check the freshness of the food in the shop at any time, and whether the oil used is legitimate oil."

You tell me, with a boss like this, if the evidence wasn't right in front of you, who would believe he is a fraudster!

Perhaps the other party's acting skills were just too good!

In any case, Chen Sheng kept staring at Cao Zan, but he didn't see the slightest murderous glint in his eyes that belonged exclusively to a criminal.

Cao Zan looked at the place where the duck offal was kept and replied, "Handsome Guy, there are a lot of orders at noon today, and the duck offal is sold out. Would you like to switch to something else?"

"Then that's not needed for now. If it's not enough later, I'll order another portion." When their eyes met again, Chen Sheng took out his phone and asked with a smile, "Boss, how much was that just now?"

Cao Zan skillfully quoted the price, "It's 42 yuan in total."

"Boss! I've scanned and paid."

"Received. One moment, the food will be ready soon."

Chen Sheng waved his hand, lifted the curtain, and walked into the shop, shaking his head. He really couldn't see a shred of a fraudster in Cao Zan.

As for what a fraudster in reality actually looks like?

Sorry! He hadn't seen one either, so wasn't that why he was curious!

However, after the meal was finished, Chen Sheng forced himself to forget about Cao Zan's matter. He shouldn't let his gaze wander onto the man from time to time; if he aroused the other person's suspicion, that would be a huge problem.

After lunch, the two went home to rest for half an hour. At An Xiaonuan's strong insistence, Chen Sheng drove her to her company, and he also opened the ride-hailing app to begin his journey as a driver for the day.

At 2:30 PM, the first order of the day went online. It was a long-distance trip from Jinniu District to the airport. If he could pick up a passenger returning to the city from the airport, this one round trip alone would bring in at least nearly two hundred.

"My luck is really not bad." Chen Sheng started the car and drove toward the location marked by the passenger.

About ten minutes later, Chen Sheng picked up the passenger on the side of the road. The passenger was a woman with short hair, wearing a mask and glasses—those two great sealing artifacts—so he couldn't tell if she was ugly or beautiful.

However, this Female Passenger, whose beauty or ugliness was unknown, had quite a high opinion of herself. No sooner had she sat in the car than she glanced at Chen Sheng, then lowered her head to stare at her phone, muttering loudly, "Why is it a man again?"

Chen Sheng's hand on the gear stick paused, and he turned his head in surprise to ask, "Um... do you have any concerns?"

The woman tossed her hair, looked straight into Chen Sheng's eyes, and said righteously, "I just don't want to be in the same car with you men."

"It's annoying! Do you know that?"

Chen Sheng: "..."

He knew nothing of the sort.

Turning back to stare at the windshield, Chen Sheng rolled his eyes so hard they almost went to the sky.

He really wanted to ask, who didn't tie the chain properly in the middle of the day, letting a thing like you run out.

However, while there was frustration, there was even more excitement.

Well, here comes this damn eccentric passenger.
