Big Shot Little Jiaojiao Breaks Her Persona Again

Chapter 218: Has There Been Progress on the Matter on the Forbidden Island?

Huo Chen brought her to a café.

Chi Jiao didn’t drink coffee. She didn’t like anything bitter, so she ordered a cup of freshly squeezed strawberry juice.

The strawberry juice was a little sour. She tasted it and her face scrunched up.

Huo Chen looked at Chi Jiao’s expression and found her extremely cute. He couldn’t help but smile and say, “If this isn’t nice, you can try something else.”

Chi Jiao shook her head to express that there was no need. She wasn’t here specifically to taste drinks.

“Officer Huo, has there been any progress on the matter on the Forbidden Island?” Chi Jiao asked.

“We’ll talk about that later. I want to talk to you about the murderer who attacked you and Quan Jue,” Huo Chen said slowly.

Chi Jiao sat up a little straighter and looked at him with her big, dark eyes. “Did you find the murderer?”

Huo Chen shook his head. “For an Esper to commit a crime, it will be very difficult for ordinary police officers like us to investigate, because we don’t have professional personnel and tools. This matter has already been handed over to the 117 Special Forces unit. Oh, right, the 117 Special Forces unit is the ZF Organization that specializes in managing Espers.”

Chi Jiao nodded.

She knew that the 117 Special Forces was the ZF Organization. All Espers had to take the initiative to register their identity with the 117 Special Forces.

It was just that she had never registered because her special ability and physique were relatively special. Her god grandmother was worried that she would encounter unimaginable trouble if she was exposed.

“You went to your classmate’s, Xu Ye’s, birthday banquet yesterday, right?” Huo Chen asked.

“Yes, was Xu Ye attacked by an Esper as well?” Chi Jiao asked him in return.

Huo Chen took out his phone and pulled up a video for her to see.

“Look at this video first.”

Chi Jiao took the phone and looked at it seriously.

The video showed Xu Ye’s house, and it was the scene of Xu Ye falling down the stairs.

The video showed very clearly that a hand formed from black smoke knocking him down.

“The Esper was mingling at the birthday banquet.” Huo Chen looked at her and said slowly, “Its target isn’t just you and Quan Jue, but also Xu Ye. Did the three of you offend anyone in school?”

Chi Jiao thought for a moment and shook her head decisively. “I don’t know about Xu Ye, but Brother Quan and I haven’t offended anyone. Brother Quan is in Grade 12. The people who came to attend the birthday banquet yesterday were all students from our class. Other than Xu Ye and me, no one has interacted with Brother Quan before.”

Hearing this, Huo Chen was silent for a moment as if he was thinking about something.

About a minute later, he raised his head and said, “Recently, there have been more than two cases of Espers hurting people around you. However, this is the first time in the past ten years that such a high-level Esper like the black shadow has appeared. Therefore, in order to ensure your and Quan Jue’s safety, our police force has applied a protection order for you from 117 Special Forces. They will send someone to protect you. They should be here tomorrow.”

Chi Jiao wanted to say that she did not need protection at first, but she had no reason to.

Her current identity was just an ordinary high school student, so she had to act like one.

“Thank you,” Chi Jiao said with a smile.

“This is our duty.” Huo Chen felt that this young lady in front of him was really well-mannered and had a good attitude.

Sometimes, he wondered if there was an adult’s soul in her.

Otherwise, how could she be so calm when she was attacked by an Esper?
