Chapter 1028: What Will It Take For You To Let Me Go?

Quan Jue stopped what he was doing and looked at her seriously, waiting for her to continue.
“Do you think the murderer swallowed the heart and brain in order to obtain the Esper’s energy? I’ve read a research article before. It said that the heart and brain of an Esper contain very potent energy. Of course, this energy can’t be absorbed just by eating those organs. But perhaps the murderer’s body is different from others.” Chi Jiao quickly explained her conjecture. She then gazed out the window and continued to think.
“If your conjecture is correct, then this murderer will definitely strike again.” Seeing that she was still frowning in deep thought, Quan Jue cleared his throat and continued, “There’s no use thinking too much about this now. Let’s eat first.”
Even if they accurately guessed the Esper’s motive, they still couldn’t find the murderer immediately.
Chi Jiao sighed helplessly and stuffed a piece of steak into her mouth. “You’re right. The only thing we can do now is to wait and see.”
Quan Jue reached out and wiped some sauce off her mouth. “Don’t worry about this for now. Hurry up and eat. We’ll go home after eating.”
Chi Jiao nodded and lowered her head to continue eating.

Over the next four days, the game “Legend of the Wilderness” released by the Quan Corporation occupied the top spot in the various games rankings and received unanimous praise.
Everyone said that the game, be it the character design or plot, all showed the designer’s strength.
/
The number of people registering for the game had already exceeded 1.5 billion.
This level of success attracted the attention of many renowned gaming companies. They all wanted to work with the Quan Corporation.
Quan Jingzhou took advantage of the situation and quickly signed contracts with two powerful gaming companies to develop new games.
After signing the contracts, Quan Jingzhou returned home in the afternoon.
He brought the roses and gift box he had prepared to Lu Xian’s room on the second floor.
Knock knock knock.
Quan Jingzhou knocked on Lu Xian’s door with a bright smile.
“Lu Xian, I’m back.” His voice was filled with joy.
However, Lu Xian’s room was dead silent. No one responded to him.
Quan Jingzhou didn’t mind. He opened the door with a smile and saw Lu Xian sitting by the bay window.
She was wearing pink pajamas. She kept looking out of the window as if she hadn’t heard him.
Quan Jingzhou’s eyes were filled with joy. He approached Lu Xian and said with a smile, “Lu Xian, it’s me. I’m back.”
Lu Xian still didn’t seem to hear him. She stared straight out of the window, looking like a little bird that yearned for freedom. Her entire body exuded a bitter aura.
“Lu Xian.” Quan Jingzhou placed the roses and gift box on the bay window. Then, he turned around and forced her to look at him. “Why don’t you change your clothes? Don’t you like the clothes in the closet? I can buy you new ones.”
Lu Xian finally looked up. She met his eyes and asked pointedly, “Quan Jingzhou, what do I have to do for you to let me go?”
Quan Jingzhou’s gaze shifted. He hugged Lu Xian tightly as if he wanted to fuse them.
