Chi Jiao was eating and drinking downstairs.
When she heard footsteps, she turned to look at Quan Jue, who was walking down the stairs. Her mouth was stuffed with the jelly she had just found. Her cheeks were puffed up, and she looked like a little hamster.
"Qian Dede (Brother Quan) …" Her eyes curved into crescents as she called out incoherently.
Quan Jue walked to the sofa and placed the amulet on the table. He frowned at Chi Jiao. "You're still eating jelly on such a cold day?"
Chi Jiao chewed and swallowed the jelly. She looked at him innocently. "I haven't eaten it in a long time."
"It's cold. You're not allowed to eat cold food," Quan Jue said in a low voice.
Seeing how serious he was, Chi Jiao could only nod obediently. Then, her gaze swept across the room and landed on the amulet on the table. "Is there something wrong with this thing?"
"When the detector scanned that amulet, the alarm went off."
Chi Jiao reached out to take the amulet.
However, Quan Jue was faster than her and grabbed her wrist.
Chi Jiao blinked in confusion and looked at him. "Brother Quan, what's wrong?"
"Can this thing corrupt a person's mind? I'll hold it while you take a look. " As Quan Jue spoke, he picked up the amulet with his other hand and placed it in front of Chi Jiao so that she could take a closer look.
Only then did Chi Jiao understand that Quan Jue was concerned about her.
A warm current flowed through her heart.
Her Brother Quan looked cold, but he was actually more meticulous than anyone else.
"It's okay, Brother Quan. This thing can only affect a person's mental state when they are mentally weak. I'm not weak at all now. Besides, mental corruption isn't something that can be caused in a short period of time. I have to stay with this thing for at least two days before I can be corrupted, "Chi Jiao said as she took the amulet from Quan Jue.
Quan Jue was slightly relieved as his gaze landed on the amulet. "Your father is an atheist. Everyone in the family knows that. This thing was probably given by someone who doesn't know your father."
Chi Jiao nodded.
In the eyes of outsiders, her father was indeed an atheist. This could be seen from the fact that her house didn't pay attention to feng shui at all.
However, at the thought of this, she felt that something had to be put on the agenda.
It was just that her house's feng shui had to be modified.
Feng Shui layouts could produce unique magnetic fields that could indirectly affect a person's luck.
This was the wisdom left behind by their ancestors in ancient times.
"There's a magnetic field mark left on this thing. As long as we follow the magnetic field mark, we can find the mastermind," Chi Jiao said with a smile.
"Are you going to settle this privately?" Quan Jue asked.
Chi Jiao nodded and looked straight at him with her black eyes. "Brother Quan, I have to settle this matter privately. Since my dad accepted this thing, it means that the other party is also a relatively important person to him. "
She knew her father too well. If the other party wasn't someone important to him, he would never accept things from others so easily.
Therefore, it also gave that person an opportunity to take advantage of.
"I'll support you no matter what decision you make," Quan Jue said slowly.
Chi Jiao smiled and suddenly changed the topic. "Brother Quan, I'm still hungry."
To her, eating snacks meant that she wasn't full. She had to eat proper meals to be full.
Quan Jue looked up at the clock. Before he knew it, it was already six in the evening.
"I'll go make something to eat." With that, Quan Jue got up and walked to the kitchen.
Chi Jiao watched him enter the kitchen before looking at the amulet in her hand.
