Xu Ye was as happy as a fool when he received Chi Jiao’s call. It didn’t matter if he had been disturbed from his sleep at all!
Chi Jiao couldn’t help chuckling. She gave a brief explanation of what had happened the past two days.
Xu Ye, who had been so excited to hear from Chi Jiao, turned rather hesitant. “So, that pervert has appeared again. His presence is a threat to my safety, right?”
Chi Jiao nodded. She could hear the fear in Xu Ye’s voice and forted him. “Don’t worry. I’ll visit you often when you e to 117. I’ll also assign people to protect you. You will be safe after we catch the murderer and figure out She Qi’s motive.”
On the other end of the line, Xu Ye was still a little afraid. However, he just sighed and nodded solemnly. “As long as I can be of help, I’m willing to cooperate with you. Jiaojiao, I don’t want to be a burden to you, so I’ll listen to you.”
“Alright, then wait for 117 to pick you up. I’ll visit you tomorrow.” Chi Jiao was relieved that he was so cooperative.
Chi Jiao’s goal was to protect Xu Ye, but in a sense, this protection was also a major restriction on his freedom.
Xu Ye had never liked to be restrained. Chi Jiao was originally worried that he might reject her. She didn’t expect him to agree so readily. This caused Chi Jiao to feel even more guilty.
This was because she knew the solution to solving Xu Ye’s problem.
Chi Jiao lowered her eyes dejectedly as the little heart’s adorable voice rang in her mind.
“Master, don’t blame yourself so much. You haven’t retrieved the fourth stone because you need to consider Master Quan Jue’s feelings. Besides, I’m not entirely sure if Madam Lu Xian is still young because of the Heart of Time.” The little heart’s voice sounded in Chi Jiao’s mind, trying its best to fort her.
Chi Jiao smiled helplessly after hearing the little heart’s words. “I can tell that you’re just trying to console me. There’s a high chance that the Heart of Time is in Auntie’s body. I’ll wait for Ye Yichen to be locked up before asking him personally. I don’t want to act rashly before that. In the meantime, I can only try my best for Xu Ye.”
Seeing Chi Jiao’s gloominess, the little heart continued to fort her. “Xu Ye definitely doesn’t want anything to happen to his aunt, either. He won’t blame you even if he finds out the truth!”
“I understand. I’ll have to confess to Brother Quan and Xu Ye when everything has been thoroughly investigated.” Chi Jiao felt a headache ing on.
“Master, go and rest for a while. I’ve been resting for a day. I’ll help you stand guard,” the little heart said considerately, sensing her fatigue.
Chi Jiao’s lips curled into a faint smile as she nodded. “Alright.”
This was a hospital specially designated for 117. It wasn’t difficult for Chi Jiao to find an empty ward to rest.
10 minutes later, Chi Jiao arrived at an empty ward that a nurse had arranged for her.
Lying on the bed, Chi Jiao closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Chi Jiao only wanted to take a short nap, but the moment she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep. She had a long dream of a girl in a white dress. The girl in the white dress pulled her along to play. She couldn’t see the girl’s face, but she felt that the girl was familiar. Chi Jiao instinctively felt very happy and at ease even though she was just standing with the girl.
But all good things always came to an end.
