Chapter 506: Chapter 505 What Makes You Think I Don’t Like Him?

Xiao Family study room.

Xiao Qimo sat before the desk, one hand gently supporting his forehead, the other absentmindedly twirling a pen.

Fluent and clear English spilled from his lips, his slightly weary features methodically handling affairs from around the world.

His beautiful fingers occasionally massaged his brow, and in those moments of deep concentration, he would lose focus for a brief second.

People in the meeting on the other side could always catch some expressions on his face that were hard to understand.

This time, the team on the other side of the video was from Interpol.

They had encountered a tricky case and, after contacting many different channels, finally got in touch with the big shot from the Xiao Family.

They thought this would be another dead end, but to their surprise, he had exceptionally agreed to a video conference with them today.

They were thanking their lucky stars.

Xiao Qimo had already analyzed the case information they sent over.

Glancing at the time, he said, “Based on the current evidence, I suggest treating the following cases as serial cases and combining them for processing.”

Xiao Qimo lazily sent over a few documents.

A blond man on the other side raised a question, “However, there’s no similarity between these missing person cases, they’re of different naturesaEUR|even the locations of the incidents are scattered.

We don’t have direct evidence to combine the casesaEUR|”

After the man finished speaking, Xiao Qimo pursed his lips, with a solemn expression.

But the captain on the other side, Daine, quickly stepped forward to apologize, “Mr.

Xiao, please don’t mind it, we’ll combine the cases right away.

He’s new and doesn’t know the protocol.”

The blond man didn’t quite understand, and after Captain Daine glared at him, he grew even more puzzled.

Was this Mr.

Xiao that impressive?

Could he really decide the direction of a case with just one sentence?

Xiao Qimo paid no attention to these details and didn’t care, as his next step was to analyze the common points of these cases.

Coincidentally, Mo Nie entered, holding his cellphone.

“Sir, you have a text message.”

Xiao Qimo’s handsome brow furrowed, seemingly not too pleased to be interrupted during a meeting.

He was about to say “don’t read it” but unexpectedly took the cellphone, his eyes tinged with a hope others couldn’t comprehend.

When he saw that the text message was from Mo Si, the hope in his eyes faded.

.co

He casually opened the message.

The next second, the man’s aura changed.

aEUR”aEUR”

Having sent the text message, Mo Si was still anxious, unsure if the Boss would see it.

During the time he sent the text, upon entering the lounge again, he saw Miss Lu of their household downing a cup of liquor in one go.

Oh my!

He didn’t know about Lu Mian’s wild actions when she was drunk, but he understood very well that drinking harmed the body!

Mo Nie would be unhappy!

“Miss Lu!” Mo Si hurried over.

Lu Mian swallowed a mouthful of strong liquor, the spicy and pungent taste making her cough lightly.

Yellow liquor wasn’t like red wine or beer, with high alcohol content and a strong kick on entry.

She lightly wiped a dribble of liquor from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, then lazily raised her head to look at Mo Si.

“Miss Lu, what are you doing?”

Lu Mian gave him a gentle smile, “Helping your Boss prune peach blossomsaEUR|”

“No.” Mo Si spread his hands, somewhat anxious, “Boss Mo’s peach tree branches don’t need you to prune them.

Please stop drinking and come back with me!”

“I can’t.” Lu Mian brushed off Mo Si’s detaining hand, looking determinedly at Shen Yiyao opposite her and shaking her head, “This is different.”

Mo Si didn’t understand what was different and became quite worried.

But Lu Mian no longer paid him any attention, commanding him to stand aside and stop talking nonsense.

Mo Si, who was rather timid, could only look on helplessly with a troubled heart.

After all, when Miss Lu got angry, she was even more fearsome than Boss Mo!

This was the first cup of liquor Lu Mian drank, and Shen Yiyao had spoken one sentence: “Brother Qimo loves cleanliness,” for which she had to take a drink as penalty.

After a drink went down, Lu Mian didn’t need to think before she directly said, “He’s a Virgo.”

Mo Si: ???

Wasn’t this something he told Miss Lu?

So, Miss Lu, though not saying it out loud, remembered it all in her heart.

Mo Si was delighted to have unearthed this tidbit and took out his phone again, silently turning on the camera…

After Lu Mian finished speaking, Shen Yiyao drank a cup and stayed in the game without yielding, “Brother Qimo loves to study physics, his physics grades are superb!”

Shao Yunxuan was already prepared on the side, crisply filling up Lu Mian’s cup and motioning her to drink quickly.

Lu Mian tilted her head back and finished it, “He likes programming, is into CTF, and has established the Shadow Hunting Team.”

For Lu Mian, the consumption of two shots of strong liquor was already hitting her limit.

Fortunately, Ya Ling’s method was somewhat effective aEUR” by pressing down on the Yuji Acupoint with a steel needle, she would sober up a bit.

One after another, cups of yellow rice wine were consumed.

The two girls took turns speaking about what they knew of Xiao Qimo, and in a blink, they had gone back and forth, downing twenty cups of yellow rice wine.

On this end, Shen Yiyao was becoming uneasy and used the excuse of going to the restroom to wash her face.

She braced herself on the sink, asking Shao Yunxuan angrily,

“Didn’t you say her alcohol tolerance was terrible?

How is she still drinking?!”

“I…

Miss Shen, I had no clue,” Shao Yunxuan was also confused and panicked, “I didn’t expect her to be so desperate to marry into a wealthy family.

I really underestimated her before!”

“Quit talking about her, I can hardly hold on myself.

And, I have already said all I know about Brother Qimo just now!”

“Miss Shen, then you have even less to worry about.

Miss Lu doesn’t know Mr.

Xiao as you do, that’s probably all she knows…”

Shen Yiyao took a deep breath, “I hope so.”

The two of them returned to the lounge.

Lu Mian was sitting upright on a cushion with her right hand under the table, continuously pressing the Yuji Acupoint on her left hand.

The steel needle was sharp, and her palm was already bleeding, but she remained steadfast.

Mo Si beside her felt somewhat distressed watching this.

Why did Miss Lu have to go through this?

Even without this competition, Master Mo wouldn’t allow any other woman to get close!

Why couldn’t she understand even this?

Lu Mian didn’t fail to understand, it was just that there were things only she could do, problems only she could solve.

She couldn’t think of any other good method and could only use this clumsy and brutal method to prove something to Xiao Qimo.

Those emotions that were too complicated to straighten out were truly complex.

Actually, she had a lot of words bottled up inside, not knowing how to start…

Lu Mian’s eyes narrowed.

Seeing Shen Yiyao staggering back, she had a pretty good idea of the situation.

She stood up directly from the cushion without a wobble, standing firm and straight.

Her eyes, misty with a hint of drunkenness and cheeks unnaturally flushed with red, still maintained her composure.

Mo Si rushed over to support her but was shaken off.

Even if she could no longer hold on, she wouldn’t show it in front of others.

Lu Mian turned to Shen Yiyao with a cool smile, “Miss Shen, shall we continue?”

“Continue, of course we’ll continue!

I will never allow a woman like you to stay by Brother Qimo’s side.

You don’t really like him at all, you just like his money!”

Shen Yiyao was unconvinced, clamoring to go on.

Money?

When had Lu Mian ever needed to rely on a man for money?

Lu Mian bent down across the small table, leaning forward to look at the girl opposite her, her lips curled with a wickedly arrogant smile, her gaze cold, her tone even colder.

“What makes you think I don’t like him?”
