Chi Jiao’s gaze was cold without any trace of playfulness. It was as if every word she said was serious and true.
Her gaze caused Quan Jingzhou’s heart to palpitate.
However, he was unwilling to admit that he was scared of a little girl’s gaze. With a straight face, he slammed the door and left angrily.
Chi Jiao couldn’t help laughing out loud when she saw this.
This was too interesting. She really didn’t expect Quan Jingzhou to be forced to this extent. He even specially came from Shang Jing to the Divination Hall to find her, just to be humiliated.
However, in a sense, Quan Jingzhou wasn’t wrong to come looking for her.
After all, she was indeed the culprit behind his problem.
If not for her, he wouldn’t be having constant nightmares.
But she wouldn’t feel sorry for a scumbag like Quan Jingzhou. Chi Jiao had been busy the entire morning and was exhausted. She asked Xiao Wei to inform the remaining customers to leave.
“Boss, the guests have already been sent away. They were very depressed. They were all asking when you would come again,” Xiao Wei said with a smile after sending the customers away.
Chi Jiao was about to answer when she received a few messages from Huo Chen.
Chi Jiao knew very well that Huo Chen wouldn’t contact her unless there was something important. She smiled and stood up. “I’m not free for the time being. Xiao Wei, take good care of the shop when I’m not around. Contact me again when we have any major clients.”
Yan Qingqing had found Xiao Wei for her. She was sensible and capable. Chi Jiao was very relieved leaving the shop in her care.
Xiao Wei patted her chest and promised. “Boss, leave it to me.”
Chi Jiao nodded and left the Divination Hall.
After leaving, she took the initiative to call Huo Chen.
Huo Chen seemed to have been waiting for Chi Jiao’s call. He immediately picked up. “Miss Chi, are you done with your work? I called your office this morning. The 117 staff said that you had something on in the morning, so I didn’t call to disturb you.”
“I’m done here. Officer Huo, what happened?” Chi Jiao asked.
“There’s been a murder case. The identity of the victim has been confirmed. She’s an Esper. It’s hard to explain over the phone. If Miss Chi is free, you should come to the police station and take a look at the corpse. We can talk then,” Huo Chen explained.
“Alright, I’ll go over now.” Chi Jiao hung up and sent Quan Jue a message to tell him about this.
Quan Jue replied very quickly. He had just alighted from the plane and agreed to meet her at the police station.
20 minutes later, at the police station.
After knowing that Chi Jiao was coming, Huo Chen had been waiting outside the police station for her.
He soon saw Chi Jiao coming in a taxi.
The taxi stopped and Chi Jiao alighted. The moment she appeared, she immediately attracted Huo Chen’s attention.
“Miss Chi…” Huo Chen instinctively wanted to take a step forward.
However, he soon saw another car stop not far away. Quan Jue got out of the car.
The light in Huo Chen’s eyes dimmed.
Seeing Quan Jue, Chi Jiao ran to his side with a smile and hugged him. “Why are you back so late? I’ve been waiting for you to have lunch with me. I haven’t eaten yet.”
“I’ll bring you to eat, then.” Quan Jue got ready to leave with her.
