Chi Jiao walked to the window and called Huo Chen.
He picked up within two seconds.
“Miss Chi, did you receive Pei Yao’s message?” Huo Chen asked directly.
“I got it. What exactly happened?” Chi Jiao asked with a frown.
A dangerous mutant like Zou Xingxing should have been closely guarded.
How did she escape?
“The details are complicated. There are also some confidentiality terms involved,” Huo Chen said slowly. “If you have time, it’s best if you can meet Pei Yao.”
Chi Jiao hung up and turned to look at Shen Xing.
She took out a bracelet that could block special magnetic fields and gave it to Sheng Xing.
“Remember, from now on, you’re my distant cousin. Also, you’re not allowed to use your skills without my permission. When you are with me, behave like an ordinary person.” Chi Jiao looked at Shen Xing seriously.
Shen Xing nodded cooperatively.
“Don’t play any tricks, got it?” Chi Jiao instructed.
“Got it!” Shen Xing said loudly.
If it didn’t cause trouble, it wouldn’t be living up to its name as the great Mirror Spirit!
After that, Chi Jiao went to the room next door to look for Quan Jue and told him about Zou Xingxing’s escape.
After all, Zou Xingxing had planned to make a move on Quan Jue. But she had been arrested before she succeeded.
Chi Jiao told him so that he would be on his guard.
“I’m going to meet Officer Huo and Sister Pei Yao now, to ask them what’s going on,” Chi Jiao said.
“I’ll come with you,” Quan Jue said impassively. “It just so happens that I have nothing to do today.”
Chi Jiao thought for a moment and nodded.
“Is it coming too?” Quan Jue pointed at Shen Xing, who was standing behind Chi Jiao.
“I’m worried about leaving it at home alone,” she said meaningfully.
Quan Jue understood what Chi Jiao meant and didn’t say anything else.

Huo Chen and Pei Yao arrived very early. The two of them drank their coffee as they waited for Chi Jiao to arrive.
When Chi Jiao finally came into Huo Chen’s line of sight, his heart inexplicably skipped a beat. But when he saw the young man following behind her, his heart sank again.
Chi Jiao and Quan Jue walked in one after another. Beside Quan Jue was a child who looked to be at most five years old. The scene of the three of them together was indescribably harmonious.
Huo Chen couldn’t help but imagine how good it would be if he was the one beside Chi Jiao.
This thought popped up in his mind, startling even Huo Chen himself!
He instinctively shook his head, wanting to shake this thought out of his mind.
How could he have such thoughts? Jiaojiao was still young, and they were several years apart in age.
Chi Jiao and Quan Jue brought Shen Xing to the coffee table. Pei Yao, who had been looking down at her phone, finally noticed that someone had arrived. She looked up at Chi Jiao and smiled brightly. “Jiaojiao, you’re finally here.”
“Sorry, I was delayed by something.” Chi Jiao smiled. She then turned to look at Huo Chen. “Officer Huo, it has been a long time since we last met.”
It had indeed been a long time.
Huo Chen also smiled. “Sit down and let’s talk.”
Quan Jue, Pei Yao, and Huo Chen were also considered old acquaintances. After exchanging greetings, he, Chi Jiao, and Shen Xing sat down..
