Chi Jiao could see the hidden meaning in his gaze. She coughed dryly and said, "Brother Quan won't tell anyone that Gu Xian is an Esper."
"Jiaojiao …" Yan Zhengchen looked at her helplessly, feeling that she trusted Quan Jue too much.
He thought about it carefully. Their Jiaojiao had only known Quan Jue for a few months.
This trust was built at the speed of a rocket.
"Since Jiaojiao treats you as one of her own, we'll believe you too." Just as Yan Zhengchen's expression was unreadable, Gong Lu suddenly spoke up.
With that, Gong Lu shot Yan Zhengchen a look.
Yan Zhengchen received Gong Lu's signal and nodded solemnly.
"Jiaojiao, Ah Chen and I have some private matters to discuss with you." Gong Lu turned to look at her and said gently.
Chi Jiao glanced at Quan Jue beside her. Quan Jue reached out and rubbed her head. "I'll wait for you in my room."
"Okay," Chi Jiao said softly.
After Quan Jue left, Yan Zhengchen and Gong Lu sat down on the chairs under the corridor again. Chi Jiao followed suit.
"Jiaojiao, 117's people came looking for us. They're talking to Grandpa now," Gong Lu said bluntly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Jiao frowned deeply.
It was obvious that she was extremely unhappy with this news.
"Why are they here?" Chi Jiao asked.
"It hasn't been peaceful recently. The rate of Espers committing crimes all over the world has skyrocketed, especially in our Country Hua. It's even more serious than any previous year." Gong Lu pushed up his glasses and said indifferently, "Furthermore, more and more Espers are transforming. If this continues, I'm afraid an even more serious situation will happen."
"Don't tell me 117 wants to invite Grandpa and Grandma out of retirement." Chi Jiao's soft and sweet voice suddenly turned cold.
"They do want to invite Grandpa and Grandma out of retirement," Yan Zhengchen said.
"No," Chi Jiao said without hesitation. Chi Jiao said without thinking, "It wasn't easy for Grandpa and Grandma to retire. They've lived in Mount Li for so many years under different names. Now that they're old, even if they want to go back, their bodies and abilities won't allow it."
With that, Chi Jiao stood up and walked towards the main hall. "I'll go meet the people from 117."
Yan Zhengchen and Gong Lu looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Just as they had expected, Jiaojiao was angry.
In the main hall.
Ou Yanglin and Liu Ruhua were sitting on a mahogany sofa. Opposite them was a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit.
The middle-aged man's hair was meticulously combed and waxed, making it look shiny. Fortunately, he looked decent. Otherwise, it would be easy to associate him with a villain in a TV series.
Beside the middle-aged man stood a young woman. The young woman was wearing a black shirt and black pants. Her flat and ordinary face was expressionless. Her entire body exuded an arrogant aura.
Ou Zhenglin and Liu Ruhua were originally talking to the man. The atmosphere in the main hall was very serious. When they saw Chi Jiao walk in, they smiled at the same time.
"Jiaojiao, you're here. Come and sit with Grandma." Liu Ruhua patted the empty cushion on her left side.
Chi Jiao walked over and sat beside Liu Ruhua.
"This is?" the middle-aged man looked at her in confusion.
"This is my god-granddaughter, Chi Jiao," Ou Zhenglin said indifferently. He turned his gaze and looked at her kindly. "Jiaojiao, this is the deputy team leader of 117's special forces, Jiang Shen."
"Hello, Deputy Team Leader Jiang." Chi Jiao smiled faintly and greeted him.
