After coming out of the inspection bureau, An Jie went straight home. He looked so angry that he almost wrote the word ‘angry’ on his face.

“What’s going on?”

In the center of the An Family’s living room, an old lady was sitting upright on a Nanmu chair. When she saw him like this, she could not help but feel a little surprised. “Didn’t you say you were going to the inspection bureau? Why did you come back full of anger?”

“It’s still that Mo Chu!” When he heard this, An Jie became even more furious. He took a few big strides with his long legs and sat down on the chair at the bottom, “Grandma, you don’t know. That girl’s mouth is very sharp. Just one sentence and she’s able to poke people’s hearts!”

“Can she be more powerful than you?” Old Madam An laughed lightly.

Although she was already a grandma, only a few strands of silver-white hair could be seen in her jet-black hair. If one did not look closely, one would not be able to notice that there were only a few wrinkles on her face. She did not look like a person who was more than 200 years old at all.

The most special thing about her was the temperament on her body. She was calm yet steady. This was something that only someone who had experienced great storms and waves could have.

“Of course, she’s better than me… Hmm,” An Jie nodded. He suddenly felt that something was wrong and quickly changed the topic. “Moreover, that girl is very bold. Her posture in the prison room is so relaxed. She’s even happier than when we were on vacation!”

After a long list of words, An Jie felt that his mouth was a little dry.

He glanced at the teapot on the table out of the corner of his eye and could not help but stretch out his long arm. With a nimble hook of his finger, a light green nutrient solution was poured out of the teapot.

After pouring several cups into his mouth in succession, An Jie finally quenched his thirst. However, he did not know if it was because he smelled the fragrance of Mo Chu’s Spirit Food in the detention room. Now that he was drinking this nutrient solution, he felt that the taste was a little strange.

“Mo Chu?” Upon hearing this, Old Madam An could not help but narrow her eyes. “Is that the girl who hurt Little Yao?”

“Yes, it’s her!” An Jie nodded.

“Mo Chu?!”

An Yao, who had just come down from upstairs, heard this word and felt as if the wounds on her body had been pulled into pain. Her face suddenly darkened.

She trotted down in her high heels and asked repeatedly, “Cousin, how is that woman? Is she crying miserably right now?”

Most of the people who had offended An Yao before were sent to the inspection bureau. In order to please this Little Princess, someone would naturally take the initiative to teach those people a lesson.

She thought that Mo Chu was the same this time, so she couldn’t help but look at An Jie expectantly. “Cousin, tell me, does she regret what she did?”

“Ahem…” Looking into An Yao’s sparkling eyes, An Jie was speechless. He recalled Mo Chu’s serious look… With that girl’s personality, she would probably be able to live a comfortable life anywhere! Moreover, with the support of Ning Yiyuan and the others, she did not need to worry. The situation that her cousin had predicted would never happen.

However… could he say these words?

If he did, that lass An Yao would cause a ruckus, right?

“Alright.” Just as An Jie was in a dilemma, Old Madam An gently patted An Yao’s head and comforted him. “Since that girl dared to hurt you, can our An Family spare her? Don’t worry about these small problems. Oh right, does her wound still hurt?”

“That’s true. How can she be okay?” The smile on An Yao’s face deepened. She threw this question aside and half-leaned on the old lady with a smile, acting coquettishly. “Don’t worry, my wound is fine.”

Back in the Magical Region, the people around her had treated her wound in time. After she came back, she laid in the treatment device for half a day. Her wound was almost healed, and she applied the scar ointment, not even a trace would be left behind.

However, even so, she could not let Mo Chu off so easily… in all these years, she had never suffered such a big loss!

An Jie also smiled apologetically at the side. Suddenly, he remembered Mo Chu’s last words and his expression suddenly froze.

“What’s wrong?” The old madam naturally noticed An Jie’s strange behavior and could not help but ask, “Before I left, Mo Chu said that she might be able to expand…”

Halfway through his words, An Jie suddenly realized that An Yao was still at the side and hurriedly covered his mouth.

“Expand what?” An Yao blinked and asked curiously.

“No, nothing!” An Jie waved his hand and did not say anything else.

The old madam looked at him meaningfully and did not ask him anything at this moment. She only turned her head to comfort An Yao in her arms.

Although this girl was willful and domineering when she was outside, she acted like a good child in the An Family. In addition, she was the only girl in the entire An Family, so everyone could not help but dote on her even more.

Even if she did some unbridled things outside, everyone was willing to take care of it for her.

…

In the evening, the sun was setting.

The study room on the second floor of the An Family was full of people at this moment.

“An Jie, is what you said just now true?” The topic that could not be continued before was now officially put on the agenda. Old Madam An sat in the center, and her tone was rarely serious, “That girl really said that she has a method to expand the production of Spirit Food?”

“Yes, that’s what she said.” An Jie nodded, and his eyes were filled with a hint of seriousness. “Besides, how could I dare joke about such an important thing?”

“Then could it be… that she wants us to let her off the hook?” a man beside him said suspiciously.

Tell me, isn’t this timing too coincidental? Mo Chu had been unable to come up with a method to expand the production of Spirit Food for such a long time. Now that she was caught by the inspection bureau, she could now expand the production of Spirit Food? When the man said this, many people agreed with him.

“Right, this is too coincidental!”

“That’s right, I think so too.”

…

“But…” An Jie interrupted everyone’s words. Now that he carefully recalled Mo Chu’s attitude when he said those words, it did not seem like she was joking. “I feel that this shouldn’t be an excuse that she had deliberately come up with in order to escape.”

The moment those words were said, the people in the study room quickly turned into two large factions.

One group of people insisted on not letting Mo Chu out. If they really did that, the others would think that the An Family had admitted defeat to the people of the Federation. Then would they still be able to stand up straight?

On the other hand, another group of people felt that this matter could be easily resolved. After all, An Yao’s injuries had already recovered. There was no need for them to offend a person who would definitely shine in the future for the sake of this lass. It really was not worth it!

If there were different opinions, there would naturally be arguments.

A wave of refuting arguments caused the usually quiet study room to become much livelier!

“Enough.” Old Madam An patted the table. Her movements were light, but the effect was obvious. The previously noisy room suddenly became quiet. “This matter… We’d rather believe it than not believe it. If what Mo Chu said is true, then her future achievements will definitely not be small. Our An Family must not offend her at this time!”

In these hundreds of years, the An Family was able to successfully stand up until today because of this steadiness. They definitely would not look down on anyone and definitely would not neglect anything!

“Yes.” The others pondered for a moment and agreed one after another.

“Hmm… An Jie.” Old Madam An set the basic tone of this matter with just one sentence. “Tomorrow, you will go to the people from the inspection bureau and resolve this matter. Do you understand?”

“Don’t worry, Grandma.” An Jie nodded with a smile. “I will definitely handle this matter perfectly for you!”

…

At this moment, no one in the study noticed that a crack had appeared on the door of the room.

A woman outside was listening attentively, her face full of anger. Her hands were tightly gripping the plate, and the nutrient fluid on the plate was constantly shaking!

When the sound inside gradually subsided, the woman quietly turned around and went upstairs, closing the door.

Then, there was a crisp ‘bang’ sound! The plate was thrown to the ground, and a few cups of nutrient fluid spilled on the ground. Fragments were everywhere, it was a complete mess!

Fortunately, this room was soundproof, otherwise, it would have been discovered long ago.

However, An Yao did not have the time to pay attention to this at this moment. The fury in her heart was about to flip her over.

Grandmother and the others actually… actually wanted to let Mo Chu go?

Why! Then would her injuries be in vain?

An Yao bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with unwillingness! Previously, she still wanted that girl to bow down to her as an apology. Now that she thought about it, it had become a complete joke!

However, An Yao knew in her heart that she alone would not be able to shake the family’s decision.

However… Could she really watch Mo Chu get away with it?

… No! That won’t do!

An Yao took a deep breath and spun around anxiously in the room. She accidentally stepped on the fragments on the ground.

“Ouch –” It hurts!

An Yao cried out in pain and frowned!

What the f*ck!

Even the broken pieces dared to bully her now!

An Yao frowned and kicked the broken pieces on the floor away. “What the f*ck! B*tches, they’re all b*tches!”

After venting her anger, An Yao’s anger eased a little.

It was also at this moment that she felt the pain on her feet. She hurriedly sat on the bed and opened it to take a look.

The scratches on her feet were not very big. They were only the length of a knuckle. However, a little blood seeped out of the cut skin… Looking at the wounds on her feet, An Yao could not help but be startled.

That day, when she was injured by Mo Chu in the Magical Region, Dong Xi was also the one who gave her first aid. That girl had always been very creative. This time, she might be able to…

Thinking of this, An Yao’s eyes could not help but light up!

Right!

Dong Xi might have a way! In any case, she definitely could not let that girl Mo Chu escape so easily!

Thus, An Yao immediately dialed Dong Xi’s terminal number.

…

The two of them chatted for a full hour.

An Yao’s expression also gradually became bright from the initial gloom, and her eyes became even brighter!

Hmph!

Mo Chu, you want to rely on the large-scale production of Spirit Food to have gain leverage?

What if… This spirit food was not yours?

It was normal for someone to snatch this huge treasure! Thinking of this, An Yao could not help but smile mysteriously…
