Chi Jiao and Beitang Lie were amazed at She Qi’s current strength.
That fellow was holding onto a Soul Stone. Generally speaking, not just anyone would have perfect control over a Soul Stone.
If one was careless, he might be injured by the violent power.
But She Qi had already completely grasped how to use the Soul Stone. Not only could he obtain power from the Soul Stone to make himself stronger, but he could also make others stronger.
Bao Dehui had already told them everything he knew.
He wasn’t She Qi’s trusted aide and knew very little.
Therefore, Chi Jiao did not continue to make things difficult for him and had Beitang Lie take him away.
Not long after Beitang Lie left, the police arrived at Chi Jiao’s house and dragged Fang Xiaowei’s body away.
The next day, Chi Mingwei went to the police station to give his statement.
Bao Dehui personally admitted that he was the one who had strangled Fang Xiaowei to death.
After the forensic doctor examined the details, he confirmed that the strangulation mark on Fang Xiaowei’s neck matched Bao Dehui’s hands.
This incident had left an indelible shadow in Chi Mingwei’s heart. For a long time to come, he would feel like vomiting whenever he saw bugs.
In the blink of an eye, it was Chi Jiao’s 18th birthday tomorrow.
Quan Jue had been busy the past few days. He left home early in the morning and returned late every night. Chi Jiao didn’t know what he was busy with.
He didn’t reveal it, and Chi Jiao did not probe further.
Tonight, while waiting for Quan Jue, Chi Jiao once again fell asleep on the sofa.
In her dreams, she felt someone lifting her off the sofa.
A familiar scent surged over.
Even without opening her eyes, Chi Jiao knew that it was Quan Jue. She buried her face in the young man’s chest and asked lazily, “Brother Quan, what time is it now?”
“I’s almost midnight,” Quan Jue replied as he carried her up the stairs.
After entering the room, he placed Chi Jiao on the bed.
Only then did Chi Jiao open her eyes. Her bright, round eyes were moist as she stared at the young man sitting beside her.
Her hair was a little messy, but it made her look messily adorable.
Quan Jue glanced at the clock on the wall.
He had specially calculated for this moment. The new day officially began at 12 o’clock sharp.
“Happy birthday, baby,” Quan Jue said gently as he turned to look at her.
He then pulled out an exquisite black jewelry box from his pocket and handed it to Chi Jiao.
“A coming-of-age gift for an 18-year-old.”
This surprise was quite sudden. With a dazed expression, Chi Jiao took the jewelry box from Quan Jue and opened it.
A diamond necklace was lying neatly in the jewelry box.
It was a silver chain with a heart-shaped pink diamond on it. It was a very simple design, but it exuded an aura of understated luxury and exquisiteness. It instantly won Chi Jiao’s heart.
“So beautiful,” she exclaimed.
“Do you like it?” Quan Jue asked.
Chi Jiao nodded. “I like it. Brother Quan, this pink diamond is very expensive, right?”
She was very discerning and naturally saw the value of this pink diamond.
“I’s okay. There’s a name carved into this pink diamond.” Under the dim light, Quan Jue’s handsome face flushed red.
“Really? What name?” Chi Jiao asked with interest.
“Heart of Eros,” Quan Jue replied softly.
Eros was the name of the Love God. So, it was the Heart of the Love God.
“Brother Quan, you’ve given your heart to me.” Chi Jiao couldn’t help smiling..
