When they left the district, the sky had already turned pale.
“Boss, what do you plan to do with this fellow?” Beitang Lie pointed at the mirror spirit.
The mirror spirit felt like a little chick. It felt very uncomfortable being held by Beitang Lie and kept struggling.
However, it had left the mirror and exhausted its mental power to impair Chen Kai. It didn’t have much strength left to break free from his grasp.
Chi Jiao looked at the mirror spirit and narrowed her eyes. “I’ll bring it back to my place first.”
“What?” Beitang Lie widened his eyes.
“Why? Is there a problem?” Chi Jiao raised her eyebrows.
“No, Boss. But this fellow is still very dangerous,” Beitang Lie said seriously. “Don’t be fooled by its adorable appearance!”
Girls liked adorable things. He believed that girls like Chi Jiao would like such cute stuff even more.
However, although this in his hand had a cute face, it was not cute at all!
As if to match Beitang Lie’s words, the mirror spirit grimaced at Chi Jiao and made a fierce expression. It looked just like an angry little wild cat.
Chi Jiao glanced at the mirror spirit. “I know how dangerous it is. It’s fine.”
It was because she knew how cunning and dangerous this thing was that she wanted to keep it with her for the time being.
Mirror spirits had not appeared for many years.
Its appearance at this time was definitely not a good sign.
If this little fellow escaped, it might cause a lot of trouble.
Beitang Lie knew how stubborn Chi Jiao could be. Thus, he didn’t waste any more time arguing and just handed the mirror spirit to her.
Chi Jiao grabbed the mirror spirit’s arm and used her mental power to firmly suppress it.
If the mirror spirit couldn’t break free from Beitang Lie, it would be even more impossible to break free from her.
After Beitang Lie handed over the physical evidence and information that Chi Jiao had requested, she went straight home.
Fortunately, it was the weekend the next day and she didn’t have to go to school.
The moment Chi Jiao entered the house, she saw Quan Jue sitting on the sofa.
He seemed to have not slept the entire night. His hair was a little messy, and his beautiful eyes were bloodshot.
On the coffee table in front of him was an ashtray with a few cigarette butts inside.
Hearing the commotion, Quan Jue turned to look at the entrance.
Chi Jiao looked as if she had done something guilty. Holding the mirror spirit’s hand, she stood at the entrance, hesitating and not daring to step forward.
She hadn’t returned home all night, and her phone had run out of battery. Brother Quan must have been worried about her.
The moment the mirror spirit saw Quan Jue, it jumped up like a frightened cat and hid behind Chi Jiao.
It could sense a terrifying aura from that cold young man.
It couldn’t explain what that aura was, but it was in a panic now.
“Where did you go last night?” Quan Jue asked in a hoarse voice.
Chi Jiao lowered her head and looked at her feet. “We had a customer in the shop yesterday. I went to settle it last night.”
Quan Jue knew that whatever she did was likely connected with 117. He also knew that 117 had a confidentiality rule, so he didn’t ask further.
Seeing that Chi Jiao wasn’t injured and looked fine, he finally felt relieved.
When he returned home last night and realized that Chi Jiao wasn’t at home, he had called her countless times.
At first, he couldn’t get through, but in the end, it appeared that her handphone was entirely switched off.
He knew that Chi Jiao should be fine, but he still couldn’t help being worried.
