Chapter 605 - He Managed to Fool So Many of Us

“So, something happened between Zou Xingxing and that man, which caused her power to evolve?” Chi Jiao asked with a serious look.

“I think so. The man left after Zou Xingxing’s power evolved. Before I was arrested, Zou Xingxing was hiding in an abandoned warehouse where we spent time with that man,” Zhang Chuan said.

Without waiting for Chi Jiao to speak, Beitang Lie took the initiative to say, “We followed Zhang Chuan’s directions and investigated that warehouse. Unfortunately, there was no sign of Zou Xingxing there. Furthermore, the scene was obviously cleaned up, so there were no useful clues left behind.”

Chi Jiao smirked and said with a faint smile, “He’s just an old man. But he managed to fool so many of us.”

According to Zhang Chuan, the man who had made the deal with Zou Xingxing should already be an old man. And this old man might very well be the same man who had made the deal with Zhen Xiaoqing.

An old man who was full of vigor and constantly sought out women to perform joint cultivation. It was truly disgusting.

“I… I don’t know. It’s very easy for Zou Xingxing to move her hiding place. I can’t guess where she is now…” Zhang Chuan said honestly.

“So another lead has gone nowhere.” Chi Jiao felt annoyed.

They had spent so much effort, but in the end, they couldn’t even detect a strand of Zou Xingxing’s hair.

Beitang Lie disagreed and looked at Chi Jiao with a chuckle. “Boss, we did find some additional clues this time. Last night, before that man left, he instructed Zou Xingxing to go to the Mo family in White City to steal their family heirloom, the Qilin Jade.”

“What’s this Qilin Jade? What’s its use?” Chi Jiao’s interest was piqued.

“I don’t know. Anyway, that man asked Zou Xingxing to find that thing. Perhaps it has some special use.” Zhang Chuan shrugged nonchalantly.

“The Qilin Jade is the Mo Family’s heirloom. It’s rumored to be priceless. Boss, let’s not bother what they want the Qilin Jade for now. We have to get it first. We can’t let them snatch it first!” Beitang Lie said with a determined look.

“Send someone to the Mo family in White City as soon as possible. Ask them to help us. We’ll see if we can set up a trap!” After Chi Jiao finished speaking, she asked Beitang Lie to settle Zhang Chuan before calling Huo Chen for help.

After knowing Chi Jiao’s true status in 117, Huo Chen felt rather conflicted when he received her call.

For one, he was happy that Chi Jiao had called him. Then, he felt dejected. Huo Chen knew very well that Chi Jiao must have called him for work purposes.

As expected, after Huo Chen answered the phone, Chi Jiao immediately asked him to mobilize the police and bring them to the Mo family in White City.

Of course, Huo Chen had to cooperate with 117’s orders. He immediately contacted the police in White City and explained his purpose. 117 split their men into several teams and quietly rushed to White City.

After arriving in White City, Chi Jiao and the others disguised themselves as ordinary police officers and followed Huo Chen to the Mo family to meet the old master.

The Mo family was a hegemon in White City. They were a large family behind a major enterprise. Most of their family members had already been dispatched overseas to extend their global reach, so not many people remained in the Mo Residence.

When Chi Jiao followed Huo Chen into the living room, she realized that the Mo family was in the midst of preparing for a banquet.
