294: This Girl Rejected Just Like That

This Girl Rejected Just Like That

"Jiaojiao, if you're not willing to take over 117, we won't force you," Liu Ruhua said as she looked at Chi Jiao with kind eyes.2

The corners of Jiang Shen's lips twitched.

Being able to become the highest commander of 117 was such a supreme honor.

Could this young lady refuse?

Just as this thought flashed across his mind, he heard Chi Jiao say calmly, "Grandma, I'm still young now. I don't want to consider these things."

Chi Jiao's thoughts were simple. In her mind, there were only things she wanted to do and things she didn't want to do.

No matter how many benefits there were to doing something she didn't want to do, Chi Jiao didn't care for them.

Jiang Shen almost coughed up blood. He couldn't believe his ears.

Jiang Xiaoli even wondered if Chi Jiao was crazy.

Many people were dying to even be a part of the 117 Special Forces.

Although being in 117 was a little dangerous, their salaries and treatment were extremely good.

Becoming the 117th highest commander was not only a huge honor but also an enviable future.

Countless people had fought their whole lives for this but failed to reach such heights and obtain such an honor.

But this girl rejected it just like that?

"My grandparents' ages are almost 200 years old when you add them together." Chi Jiao looked at Jiang Shen indifferently and continued, "They have dedicated most of their lives to 117 or to treating and saving people. Now that they are old, it's time for them to enjoy their later years. They can no longer go onto the battlefield. Therefore, you all don't have to come here to invite my grandparents out of the mountains anymore. My brothers and I won't allow it."

Towards the end, the girl's tone had become very firm and domineering.

Jiang Shen fell silent when he heard her words.

Jiang Xiaoli was not as patient as him. She looked at Chi Jiao and said, "What do you know? My uncle came to beg Old Master Ou and the Old Madam because 117 has really encountered trouble this time. The Soul Stone has been stolen."

"Xiaoli!" Jiang Shen didn't expect her to divulge such a top secret. Immediately, he looked at her in panic and anger.

"Uncle, since you want to invite them down, wouldn't you have to talk about this sooner or later?" Jiang Xiaoli asked.

Jiang Shen was instantly rendered speechless.

"Why was the Soul Stone stolen? Who did it?" Ou Zhenglin's expression instantly became very solemn.

Chi Jiao sat up straight when she heard that.

The Soul Stone was the name the 117 Special Forces had given the meteor that came from outer space.

It was that rock that gave birth to Espers.

Back then, after the meteorite split into countless smaller pieces and disappeared, 117 searched the world for the whereabouts of the meteorite. They wanted to study this magical meteorite and find a way to help Espers return to normal people. In the end, they found a piece of the meteorite about the size of a millstone on an uninhabited island overseas. They brought it back to the organization with special sealing methods and carried out their research.

Her grandparents rarely talked to her about the matters in 117, but they deliberately told her about the Soul Stone.

The Soul Stone could create Espers. If it was stolen by people with ulterior motives, there was no need to say the seriousness of the matter as Chi Jiao could already understand it.

"It's a long story, and it can't be explained in a short time. For now, we suspect that the new Espers who have not been registered and have violated the rules are probably influenced by the lost Soul Stone," Jiang Shen said slowly. He looked at Ou Zhenglin and Liu Ruhua fixedly. "The severity of the matter has already reached this point. We had no choice but to disturb your peace."
