Chapter 963: Brother Quan, Why Did You Lie to Shi Kuo?
Quan Jue leaned back in his chair and relaxed. “I didn’t expect to hear that from you.”
Shi Kuo grinned. He was fair and clean-looking. Now that he was smiling widely, he looked especially like a boy next door. “The only people I hate are Zhou Xiaoyong and the rest. I don’t kill the innocent. Besides, Senior, you’ve helped me before.”
“Thank you. But Shi Kuo, a crime is a crime. I’ll ask for leniency for you. I hope you can repent in your cell.” Chi Jiao stood up.
“Wait a minute! What did my parents say?” Shi Kuo stood up agitatedly. The police officer standing beside him pushed him back into his seat.
“What are you trying to do? Sit down obediently!” The police officer warned him.
However, Shi Kuo was oblivious to the officer. He just kept staring at Quan Jue with bloodshot eyes, as if he wanted to see through him.
Quan Jue’s eyes were cold. Without hesitation, he said, “They want you to repent.”
Hearing this, tears suddenly welled up in Shi Kuo’s eyes. He sobbed.
Chi Jiao hugged Quan Jue’s arm and left the interrogation room with him. They left the police station.
“Brother Quan, why did you lie to him?” Chi Jiao’s eyes were sparkling. She asked, “What did Shi Kuo’s parents really say?”
Quan Jue held her hand and rubbed it gently. “They said that they already have a new family. Whether Shi Kuo is dead or alive has nothing to do with them. They don’t want us to contact them and disturb their current lives.”
“Even after all that has happened, his parents didn’t have anything to say to him?” Chi Jiao widened her eyes in shock and disbelief.
Seeing how agitated she was, Quan Jue pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead comfortingly. “Anyone can be a parent. There are no restrictions, and you don’t have to pass any exams. Jiaojiao, there are many such people in this world.”
Chi Jiao felt as if her chest was stuffed with cotton soaked in ice water, making it difficult for her to breathe. Her heart ached. “I know. I just… I just feel that it’s a pity.”
Shi Kuo shouldn’t have ended up like this.
Quan Jue hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead to comfort her.
Chi Jiao leaned into his arms gloomily and kept sighing. “At this point, there’s nothing we can do.”
Ring—
Quan Jue’s phone suddenly rang.
He took it out and frowned when he saw the name on the screen.
Sensing his impatience, Chi Jiao looked at the screen and realized that it was Xu Zhicheng.
Xu Zhicheng was Quan Jue’s uncle. He was also Lu Xian’s older brother and Xu Ye’s father.
Quan Jue didn’t have a good relationship with him.
“Brother Quan, you should answer the call. It’s already so late, yet he is calling. Perhaps there’s something important.” Chi Jiao advised him gently.
Quan Jue nodded and picked up the call. “What’s the matter?”
“Your mother was taken away by Quan Jingzhou. What on earth are you guys planning?” Xu Zhicheng asked seriously.
Quan Jue raised his eyebrows in surprise. However, his tone was still calm. “I wasn’t the one who took her away. You should find Quan Jingzhou.”
“He refused to see me. Didn’t you know?” Xu Zhicheng asked.
