Chapter 196: This Is the Devil Sent by the Heavens to Subdue Him
Chi Jiao nodded and changed the topic. “Officer Huo, I’m sure you already know that Shen Wu has made a move on Chi Yan and Zhu Limin. Since you didn’t stop him, does that mean you have agreed to my plan?”
Huo Chen’s expression froze as he scrutinized her. “I was planning to meet you tomorrow to talk about this. I just didn’t expect you to be so fated with the police that you’d be back here again so soon.”
Chi Jiao didn’t think he was complimenting her. She rubbed her nose. “I’m the victim this time.”
Huo Chen leaned back in his chair, his gaze still locked on Chi Jiao. “We have indeed agreed to your plan. Now, our informant has caught up to Shen Wu’s men and is tailing them. If we can successfully uproot that organization on the Forbidden Island, the police will reward you.”
“There’s no need for a reward.” Chi Jiao smiled. “I just want to know, how will the crimes that Zhu Limin committed be dealt with?”
Zhu Limin knew that Shen Wu was involved in human trafficking, but she never called the police. Sometimes, she even helped him commit the crimes.
It could be said that Zhu Limin was Shen Wu’s accomplice.
That woman was evil to the core.
“Zhu Limin will pay the price for her crimes. In front of the law, everyone is equal,” Huo Chen said with a smile.
“I’ll wait for your good news then, Officer Huo,” Chi Jiao said with a smile as she lowered her gaze to hide the glint that flashed past her eyes.
…
When Chi Jiao and Quan Jue came out of the police station, they bumped into Chi Mingwei, who had rushed over.
Since Chi Jiao was still underage, the police would definitely inform her guardian about the attack.
When Chi Mingwei received the news, he was scared out of his wits. He immediately put down whatever he was doing and dashed to the police station.
“What on earth happened? Jiaojiao, are you alright?” Chi Mingwei’s expression was ugly. It was obvious that his heart was in his throat.
“I’m fine. Brother Quan protected me in time.” Chi Jiao smiled.
Chi Mingwei’s gaze fell on Quan Jue, and his emotions became complicated.
He still remembered what Quan Jue told him at school.
Didn’t this young man hate him?
Why did he still protect Jiaojiao?
Quan Jue ignored Chi Mingwei’s complicated gaze and lowered his head to say to Chi Jiao, “Jiaojiao, go back with your dad. I’ll be heading home, too.”
Chi Jiao was a little reluctant to part with him. She hugged Quan Jue’s arm and looked at Chi Mingwei. “Dad, Brother Quan saved my life. Don’t you have anything to say?”
When Quan Jue heard this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly as he looked at Chi Mingwei with a teasing gaze.
He seemed to be looking forward to his reaction.
Chi Mingwei could read the playfulness in Quan Jue’s eyes. He gritted his teeth in anger.
Was this kid being smug right now?
However, the Chi family’s motto was to know when to repay favors. He really could not do anything to Quan Jue now.
“It’s getting late. The both of you, come home with me for dinner,” Chi Mingwei finally said after a few seconds of silence.
Quan Jue originally wanted to reject him, but the girl next to him was looking at him with anticipation. He swallowed his words and nodded.
He really couldn’t do anything about her.
This was the devil sent by the heavens to subdue him.
