Chi Jiao did not stop Huo Chen. She stood up and watched him leave the office.
As the office door closed, Quan Jue’s voice sounded faintly behind her. “I didn’t know Ye Yichen had been locked up with Huo Chen. I think Huo Chen must have contacted you about this matter.”
Chi Jiao blinked and couldn’t help chuckling when she heard this. She walked quickly to Quan Jue and fluttered her large eyes at him. “Brother Quan, you’re so jealous. I asked Huo Chen to help with Ye Yichen because of you. It’s fine if you don’t thank me, but you’re still throwing a tantrum.”
“I’m not throwing a tantrum. I just want to tell you that I don’t like that Huo Chen. Stay away from that man in the future.” Quan Jue loved Chi Jiao deeply and knew how charming she was.
Unfortunately, Chi Jiao didn’t know how charming she was.
She nodded perfunctorily and pulled him to sit down. “Brother Quan, that’s not important. I have something very important to tell you now. Sit down and listen carefully.”
Quan Jue nodded and sat down with her.
“Previously, the little heart seemed to have discovered the fourth stone. That stone is called the Heart of Time. It’s very likely to be Auntie Lu Xian’s body now,” Chi Jiao said with a serious expression.
Quan Jue looked incredulous. “How is that possible?”
“I didn’t dare to believe it at first, but the little heart is very certain. Moreover, a person with the Heart of Time can freeze time for herself and not grow old. Look, Auntie is clearly in her 40s, but she looks like a young lady in her early 20s. Doesn’t it sound like the Heart of Time’s ability?” Chi Jiao patiently explained.
The little heart also jumped out at this moment and said, “That’s right! I suspect that the Heart of Time is inside Auntie.”
“At that time, everyone thought that my mother was dead, but she was with Ye Yichen since her disappearance. Ye Yichen must have something to do with it if the Heart of Time is really in my mother’s body.” Quan Jue narrowed his eyes and analyzed calmly.
Chi Jiao nodded. “That’s why I asked Officer Huo to help break down Ye Yichen the past two days. However, I arranged to have him transferred to 117 to clarify this matter since Ye Yichen is also an Esper.”
Of course, Chi Jiao wasn’t just after the truth. She also wanted to torture Ye Yichen for him to know the consequences of pestering Lu Xian.
Quan Jue didn’t expect her to have done so much. He held her hand tightly and asked worriedly, “Should we take Heart of Time out if it really is really in my mother’s body?”
“Brother Quan, I don’t want to hide it from you. We can’t take out the stone so easily if Auntie’s life is really being maintained by the Heart of Time. Otherwise, it might endanger Auntie’s life. I’ve thought about it. We can take out the stone, but we have to confirm it first.” Chi Jiao held his hand tightly.
Chi Jiao knew that Quan Jue cared a lot about his mother, even though he seldom expressed it.
Chi Jiao also cared about Lu Xian, so she didn’t want to hide the truth.
