Quan Jue’s brows twitched when he met Lu Xian’s smug gaze.
Chi Jiao wasn’t a person who was slow to warm up to others. She could get along with almost anyone.
Lu Xian wasn’t an introverted person either, so they conversed happily at the dining table.
During the entire meal, Quan Jue felt like an outsider.
This was a conversation between women. He couldn’t get a word in edgewise.
After coming out of the restaurant, Chi Jiao promised Lu Xian that they would go shopping if she had time. She then watched her get into the car sent by the Xu family.
“Brother Quan, let’s walk back,” Chi Jiao said.
This place wasn’t far from their house. It would only take half an hour to walk back.
The weather was gradually getting warmer, and it was not very cold tonight.
“Brother Quan, did Auntie contact Ye Yichen again?” Chi Jiao suddenly asked.
“Probably not,” Quan Jue said.
He felt that if Ye Yichen kept in touch with that woman, Quan Jingzhou wouldn’t have the chance to come looking for her every day.
Chi Jiao nodded. “It’s better to be wary of that man.”
She felt that Ye Yichen liked Quan Jue’s mother so much that he would never give up on her.
His absence now might mean that he was planning something big.
Quan Jue nodded in agreement.
“By the way, Brother Quan, I have to go on a long trip tomorrow,” Chi Jiao said as she observed his expression. “I got some clues from the previous mission. I need to check it out myself.”
A dark glint flashed across Quan Jue’s eyes. He asked casually, “Where are you going?”
“Feng Tong Village, over at Mount Wu,” Chi Jiao said.
“I’ll go with you,” Quan Jue said firmly. “Don’t worry, I won’t pry into any of your secrets. Your father will be more at ease if I go with you.”
Chi Jiao had almost forgotten about her father. She had no reason to reject Quan Jue, so she nodded obediently.
Feng Tong Village was located at Mount Wu in Province B.
It would take a full day and night to fly from White City to Mount Wu.
By the time Chi Jiao and the others reached the entrance of the village, the sky had already darkened.
Apart from Quan Jue and Beitang Lie, Huo Chen and Pei Yao were also here with Chi Jiao.
Although Huo Chen didn’t belong to 117, he had the duty to cooperate with them in any way.
When Pei Yao said that Chi Jiao was going to Feng Tong Village to investigate, Huo Chen applied to help without hesitation.
“Officer Huo, did you really come here on a leisure trip before?” Standing at the entrance of the village, Beitang Lie looked at the pitch-black rock standing not far away and couldn’t help trembling.
There were three bright red words on the pitch-black rock—Feng Tong Village.
The bright red words seemed to have been written with blood. The words were very cursive.
It was a little scary to look at in the dark.
“I was in a club in university. I came with the club back then,” Huo Chen said with a faint smile. “There are many strange legends here, but most of them are just rumors. Don’t be afraid.”
“Most of them are just rumors?” Beitang Lie widened his eyes. “You mean that a small number of those legends are true?”
Huo Chen didn’t say anything. His silence implied his acknowledgment.
“Let’s not stand here and talk. Let’s find a place to stay first,” Pei Yao said to Huo Chen.
“Just follow me. The terrain in this village is very complicated. You must follow me closely, or you might get lost..” Huo Chen took the lead and stepped into the village.
