“I don’t know. But I’m very sure that Quan Jingzhou won’t hurt her,” Quan Jue said coldly.

“When will Quan Jingzhou let your mother come back?” Xu Zhicheng continued to ask.

“I don’t know,” Quan Jue answered without hesitation.

Xu Zhicheng was frustrated. “Where are they now?”

“Go ask Quan Jingzhou.” Quan Jue’s tone was as cold as ever.

“You…!” Xu Zhicheng gasped in anger. He gritted his teeth. “Are you trying to go against me?”

Quan Jue’s tone was calm. “I’m not that free. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”

“Wait! The family is very worried about your mother. If you have any information, please contact me or Xu Ye.” Xu Zhicheng was helpless and softened his tone.

“Okay.” Quan Jue ended the call.

Chi Jiao had been eavesdropping. She hugged his arm and said with a yearning expression, “Wow, did Auntie elope? It’s quite romantic.”

“Think about Ye Yichen. Do you still think it’s romantic?” Quan Jue asked with a smile.

“That’s not romantic. It’s quite disgusting. However, Ye Yichen will find out very soon that Auntie has been taken away. Going by his character, he’ll probably go crazy from anger.” Chi Jiao was somewhat tickled by this thought.

An amusing image appeared in Quan Jue’s mind. He hugged Chi Jiao and smiled even more brightly. “Then let him go crazy.”

Chi Jiao and Quan Jue went home together.

The next morning, Chi Jiao rushed to the Divination Hall early in the morning. Quan Jue remained at home and contacted Yin Xiaoxuan.

On the other end of the line, Yin Xiaoxuan’s troubled voice came through. “Boss, we’ve already searched thoroughly, but we haven’t found your mother’s whereabouts. Your father… I mean Quan Jingzhou is very detailed. He didn’t leave any traces behind. It’s very difficult for us to determine your mother’s exact location.”

“What a sly old fox. Continue to investigate. We have to find my mother no matter what.” Quan Jue was about to hang up.

“Wait a minute! Boss, there’s something else. Jiang Ruoxin went to look for you. She claims that First Elder wants to talk to you, but I am guessing she has an ulterior motive…”

“Who’s Jiang Ruoxin?” Quan Jue asked in confusion.

Yin Xiaoxuan was silent for a moment before sighing helplessly. “Boss, didn’t I introduce you when we were having tea with First Elder? Jiang Ruoxin is First Elder’s granddaughter!”

“Don’t remember her,” Quan Jue said without hesitation.

Yin Xiaoxuan was exasperated. “She was sitting opposite you, vigorously casting flirtatious looks at you.”

“I don’t remember,” Quan Jue repeated.

Yin Xiaoxuan was dumbstruck. “Alright, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, she’s coming to find you. Boss, for First Elder’s sake, please don’t kill her.”

“I respect First Elder, but it’s up to her whether she respects herself. Continue to look for my mother. Contact me immediately if there’s any news.” Quan Jue hung up.

Meanwhile, in the Divination Hall.

Chi Jiao was playing with her phone when she suddenly heard a ding. It was the bell on the door. A young girl in a red dress walked in.

The young girl had on a lovely outfit. She was dressed in designer clothes from head to toe.
