The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 522 - Chapter 522 Chapter 521 She is Not Your Sister

Chapter 522: Chapter 521: She is Not Your Sister Chapter 522: Chapter 521: She is Not Your Sister Both of them just stood there, not moving forward anymore, as if they were deliberately not disturbing the conversation between Lu Mian and Ya Ling.

It was only after Ya Ling heavily walked away that Xiao Qimo elegantly waved his hand toward Lu Mian not far away.

The girl glanced around and, with her long legs, casually strolled over with a lazy grace.

The girl’s expression was unchanged, calm and serene.

But Yun Sang, who was standing next to Xiao Qimo, couldn’t take his eyes off Ya Ling.

Even though Ya Ling had walked far away, he kept staring at her retreating figure.

“Stop looking,” Xiao Qimo said with a hint of disdain.

What’s there to be so surprised about.

Finally, Yun Sang withdrew his gaze, his noble brows lifted, and the corner of his mouth curled mischievously, “Don’t tell me she’s the same Ye Lingxi from before?”

Xiao Qimo responded with a bland chuckle.

“It really is her!”

Yun Sang exclaimed in surprise, “No way, didn’t she die in a car accident?

The Ye Family went in person to the crash scene to identify the body, and Ye Jinwen was almost driven mad.

But now, how…

how is she still jumping around all lively?”

Xiao Qimo coldly “Hmm’d” in response.

The more Yun Sang thought about it, the stranger it seemed, “At first, I didn’t dare to recognize her; she’s changed so much from before.”

The former Ye Lingxi had been like a plain-faced girl, with submissive black hair, wearing makeup-free, simple and comfortable clothes.

The Triangles didn’t see Ye Lingxi very often but had a profound impression of her.

That’s why Yun Sang initially didn’t dare to recognize her, as the current Ye Lingxi had a completely different aura.

“But what exactly is her story?

The Ye Family couldn’t possibly have misidentified her body…” Yun Sang was utterly baffled.

Xiao Qimo leisurely slipped his right hand into his pocket and spoke slowly.

“Do you think, with the Ye Family’s capability in the medical field, it would be difficult to fake a body and forge an autopsy report?”

His words were like a wake-up call, and Yun Sang narrowed his eyes, as if he had understood something.

“Are you saying that, to break up Ye Lingxi and Ye Jinwen, the Ye Family deliberately staged an act?

Ye Jinwen doesn’t know Ye Lingxi is still alive, while Ye Lingxi believes Ye Jinwen is engaged to Shen Yixin and has given up and left.

Is that what you mean?”

Yun Sang, wild and unrestrained in character, seemed reckless and carefree, not taking many things seriously.

However, his intelligence and personal abilities were no less than anyone else’s.

He just focused on doing what he liked, without caring much about the trivial matters of the outside world.

What he said wasn’t much different from Xiao Qimo’s own conclusions.

But Xiao Qimo knew a bit more than Yun Sang; the misunderstanding between Ye Lingxi and the Ye Family was far from simple.

“Perhaps,” Xiao Qimo replied, his brows slightly drawn together as he watched the girl approaching from across the street, “Do you know about the AorB kidnapping case?”

“Who doesn’t know about that case!” Yun Sang clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth, his tone clearly scornful: “Such a trashy and perverted way of kidnapping, it’s truly nauseating.”

It was later said that it was Mysterious Person Number Thirteen who cracked the laboratory’s robust security system and rescued the victims one by one.

This was also why he was eager to recruit Number Thirteen to his own team.

Number Thirteen was a girl worth admiring.

Xiao Qimo casually glanced back at Yun Sang before slowly revealing a fact: “The date of Ya Ling’s car accident overlaps with the kidnapping incident, July 26, 2017.”

Xiao Qimo hinted enough.

In Yun Sang’s increasingly shocked eyes, Xiao Qimo read the answer.

Believing the other party had understood, he didn’t say anything more.

Yun Sang indeed had understood, pausing for a while before taking a deep breath.

“So, among us, Ye Jinwen is the only one who still doesn’t know that Ye Lingxi is alive, right?”

Xiao Qimo hmm’ed in agreement, his gaze fixed ahead, watching Lu Mian stroll over leisurely.

Yun Sang flicked her hair back and hooked her lips in a smile, “He is really pitiful.”

Lu Mian walked past the entrance of Yulan Pavilion, at a pace that was neither hurried nor slow.

.co

After arriving, she acted naturally, without a hint of embarrassment from being caught red-handed; instead, she just smiled.

“Why have you guys come over?”

Xiao Qimo replied as if it was the most natural thing, “To pick you up from school.”

Lu Mian: …

It’s just a few steps away, is that really necessary?

“What about your iron trio, missing someone?

Where is Brother Ye?” Since she had just seen Ya Ling, she quite naturally remembered Ye JinwenaEUR”if he had come along, perhaps they could have caught Ya Ling this time.

Yun Sang’s mouth twitched with sympathy, “He’s grounded because of the annulment.”

Lu Mian pursed her lips slightly, tucking a piece of hair back, “He’s really pitiful.”

Xiao Qimo, standing beside them and hearing Lu Mian echo Yun Sang’s phrase, “He’s really pitiful,” frowned slightly.

He stepped forward, cutting off their eye contact, and somewhat imperiously took Lu Mian’s hand, turning his head to walk towards Zitan Pavilion.

He shook his head as he walked, “Ye Jinwen isn’t pitiful at all, not in the least.”

Lu Mian pursed her lips, “Not pitiful, huh?

I think he’s quite…”

Xiao Qimo turned back to look at her, his eyes warm but stirring with something, his measured tone deliberately emphasizing, “He’s not pitiful.”

“Alright then, he’s not pitiful.” Lu Mian didn’t understand why he was being so stubborn about this.

She decided to just let him have his way; it didn’t really affect anything anyway.

Ye Jinwen, who was grounded at home: Seventh Brother, you’re heartless, you’re cruel, you’re being unreasonable!

Yun Sang behind them, grudgingly admiring: Damn, Xiao Qimo can even get jealous over this!

So having a wife means brothers are just discarded socks now, huh!

Yun Sang rolled his eyes silently, feeling unconvinced and getting more irritated the more he thought about it, and quickly sidled up to Lu Mian.

“Little Sister Lu Mian, have you thought about that thing Big Brother told you last time?

Do you want to join the Shadow Hunting Team I lead?”

Xiao Qimo narrowed his eyes, glancing at Yun Sang over the top of Lu Mian’s head with a hint of warning.

When did this happen, and how come he didn’t know about it?

Yun Sang also raised an eyebrow provocatively and defiantly.

Caught in the middle, Lu Mian was unaware of the turbulent undercurrents between the two men as she kept walking, responding to Yun Sang.

“We’ll talk about that matter some other time.”

Yun Sang: “Little sister, think about it!

Big Brother needs you!”

Xiao Qimo smiled faintly, “She’s not your little sister, mind your terms of address.”

Yun Sang immediately laughed, a laugh borne out of frustration.

“Hey, Lord Mo, don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

I did give you an assist, is this how you treat me?

If I don’t call her little sister, what else can I call her?”

“You could…” Xiao Qimo stood up tall, casual and proud, “call her Mrs.

Xiao.”

Yun Sang: “…”

You’re ruthless!

You win!

“Little Sister Lu Mian, let’s become sworn siblings!”
