By the time Quan Jingzhou rushed out of the room, Quan Jue was already nowhere to be seen.
Quan Jue didn't take the elevator. In order to avoid him, he entered the fire escape.
After going down two flights of stairs, Quan Jue leaned against the wall and sat on the ground.
His entire body was screaming in pain.
The young man closed his eyes and panted slightly.
Right at this moment, the phone suddenly rang.
Quan Jue took out his phone from his pocket. When he saw the caller ID, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled before answering the call.
"Brother Quan, Daddy and I are already outside Grandma's house. Have you seen your father?" The girl's soft and sweet voice came from the other end of the line.
Although Chi Jiao's grandmother's house was also in White City, it was also very big. It was divided into several districts and was still quite a distance away from Chi Jiao's house.
If there was a traffic jam on the road, they would indeed only arrive at this time.
Quan Jue's hand trembled slightly as he held the phone, but his tone remained calm. "I saw him."
"Did anything happen?"
Hearing the worry in her voice, Quan Jue smiled. "Nothing happened. Don't worry."
"That's good." Chi Jiao heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's just that I have to go on a long trip. I'm leaving today," Quan Jue said softly.
"Are you going with your father?" Chi Jiao asked.
Quan Jue remained silent.
Chi Jiao took it as a tacit agreement and said softly, "Alright, then. I'll wait for you at home. Let's keep in touch?"
"Okay," Quan Jue said softly.
After hanging up, Quan Jue raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with his fingers. The haze in his eyes was like a thick abyss that had no end.
Quan Jingzhou's voice echoed in his mind. The River Source Book, right?
"Ha … Lu Xian …"
A chuckle escaped his thin lips, filled with mockery.

Chi Jiao's grandmother's house was in a high-end villa district in White City's Silver Sand District.
"Your grandmother and grandfather were national researchers back then. You also have an uncle and an aunt who are also highly educated," Chi Mingwei said to Chi Jiao with a smile as he walked deeper into the district with bags in his hands.
Chi Jiao nodded.
Actually, she already knew about this.
It was precisely because her grandmother's family was highly intellectual that her grandmother and grandfather didn't quite agree to her mother and father's marriage. This was because when her father and her mother first started dating, he was still a rather hedonistic rich second-generation heir.
The two elders were afraid that her father would not be able to give her mother happiness.
Later on, her father stopped playing for her mother's sake. Not only did he take over the Chi family's company, but he also managed the company well. He used his strength to prove that he was a good man who was worth relying on.
"Don't worry too much. I think your grandma and grandpa will definitely like you a lot," Chi Mingwei said to Chi Jiao.
He had said this no less than three times on the way here.
Chi Jiao sensed his nervousness and chuckled. "Daddy, relax. Don't be too nervous."
"I'm not nervous, I'm not nervous," Chi Mingwei said, but his expression was tense.
As the father and daughter spoke, they arrived in front of a small white duplex villa.
"Daddy, I'll knock on the door," Chi Jiao said as she walked to the door and rang the doorbell.
Soon, a woman's voice sounded from the other side of the door.
"Who is it?"
"Hello, I'm Chi Jiao. I'm here to visit my grandparents." Chi Jiao had a sweet smile on her face and her tone was soft.
