Chapter 559: Chapter 558: I’ll go buy Miss Lu a burger.

Chapter 559: Chapter 558: I’ll go buy Miss Lu a burger.

Mo Si found the situation inconceivable and was at a loss for understanding.

More importantly, shouldn’t their focus be on who sent the mercenaries to harm Miss Lu?

Mo Si hurriedly ushered these two big wigs with food on their brains to one side, finally getting the chance to ask the leader some serious questions.

“Who is your employer?”

“…” The leader lowered his head, unwilling to speak.

“Even if you don’t tell me, I can find out.

Will you tell me yourself, or shall I do the digging?” Although Mo Si was usually talkative and gossipy, when he got serious, he exuded a certain imposing air.

“This concerns our professional integrity; we are very professional mercenaries!” The leader was stubborn and not afraid of Mo Si.

As long as it wasn’t that man or Lu Mian coming over, they had nothing to worry about.

Lu Mian heard this and glanced over at the leader.

Mo Si didn’t indulge him, rolling up his sleeves and getting ready to resort to special methods.

The leader had been stubborn just a moment ago, but when he looked up and met Lu Mian’s icy eyes, he trembled all over in fear.

“I’ll talk!

I’ll talk!” So much for professional integrity; it was utterly worthless.

Mo Si rolled his eyes, “Would’ve saved time if you’d just said so to begin with!”

“It was Shen Yiyao from the Shen Family and another called Shao Yunxuan.

They specifically wanted Miss Lu’s hands.”

Lu Mian nodded, not surprised in the least.

Yun Sang looked at her, “Who are these two?

They want your hands?”

His gaze fell on Lu Mian’s beautiful hands.

Those hands that could play the piano, compete in matches, and type on a keyboardaEUR”if those were ruined, Lu Mian’s life would be over.

These two women were just too malicious!

Yun Sang made a mental note, and Mo Si also kept it in mind.

Only Lu Mian seemed unconcerned, sauntering over before gesturing for Mo Si to step aside.

She looked down at the leader from above and said seriously, word by word, “You ruined my hamburger, reimburse me.”

“Huh?” The leader didn’t hear clearly.

“Go buy me another one.” She spoke in an extremely serious tone, saying words that were quite astonishing.

The mercenaries: Wanted to laugh, but didn’t dare to.

Mo Si: …

Yun Sang, however, was particularly supportive of Lu Mian’s decision and understood her sentiments.

He kicked the leader, saying coldly and mercilessly, “Go buy it now!”

Leader: What kind of bad karma is this?!

“Don’t want to go?” Yun Sang’s second kick was ready.

The leader scrambled up from the ground, “Going, going, I’m on it!”

With that, he dashed out of the courtyard, hurrying to buy the hamburgers.

He had seen their hamburger orders and had them memorized.

Mo Si watched the figure vanish like a cloud of smoke, expressing concern, “Miss Lu, aren’t you worried he might run away?”

“Run?” Lu Mian’s eyebrows rose as she looked towards Yun Sang.

“Do you think he’ll run away?”

Yun Sang scoffed, “Not a chance!”

The two big shots didn’t bother with the other mercenaries in the courtyard, heading straight for the hall.

“Don’t be mad, sis.

You’ll get to eat soon,” Yun Sang said to comfort her.

“Mmhmm.” Lu Mian’s mood wasn’t great.

She walked off first.

Yun Sang watched her slender, frail figure walking away, his brows knitting together with a touch of worry.

—

Lu Mian returned to her room, spilled out the contents of her black backpack, and seemed to be searching for something.

The contents of the black backpack were jumbled: a few novels, her painkillers, and other various trinkets.

As she rummaged through the items, a metallic object rolled out, clattering across the floor for a few meters before circling twice and coming to a stop.

Lu Mian squinted and glanced at it, it was the round Talisman Card that Old Su had given her.

After she had returned the first time, Old Su insisted on stuffing it into her hand, even instructing her to always carry it with her.

She set down her backpack, and with a listless stride, walked over and bent down to pick up the round Talisman Card.

Tossing it in her palm a couple of times, Old Su had said that if she ever encountered danger in Jinjing, this round Talisman Card could save her life.

Whether it could actually save her life or not, she didn’t know, but since coming to Jinjing, she had certainly run into her share of troubles.

Shen Yiyao, Shao Yunxuan…

The alliance between these two people wasn’t surprising, but what did surprise her was that members of the Mercenary Alliance would dare to take on this task.

She casually tossed the round Talisman Card back into her backpack and finally found a crumpled old piece of paper in the corner of the bag.

She had no idea when it had been placed there; the piece of paper was somewhat aged.

Lu Mian opened it leisurely, and there was a phone number written on it.

If it wasn’t saved in her phone, it usually meant it was either rarely used or unimportant.

Lu Mian thought for a moment, then sent a text message to the number using a virtual number.

About half a minute later, the other party replied.

[“Just cleaning house.”]

aEUR”aEUR”

The Mercenary Leader, upon leaving the Yulan Pavilion, rushed frantically towards the burger shop.

He had barely run a short distance when Shen Yiyao and Shao Yunxuan waiting by the roadside pulled him into a black business car.

Shen Yiyao, seeing his wretched state, felt a twinge of unease in her heart.

“What happened to you?

Were you successful?”

Shao Yunxuan also asked eagerly, “What about Lu Mian’s hand?”

The Leader, not daring to waste time, responded fiercely, “The mission failed!

.C0

The deposit will be returned the same way it came!”

“Hey!

How could you fail?

Aren’t you professionals?

Can’t you handle one Lu Mian?”

“Failed is failed!” The Leader didn’t want to admit it, but the fact remained.

“I’ll pay you more, just go and chop off Lu Mian!

Go now!”

This time, no matter what Shen Yiyao said, the Leader dared not take the job, “Find someone else, I’m done!”

“You…” Shen Yiyao was infuriated, “Where are you going now?

Hurry up and call your people, let’s kill Lu Mian together!”

“…”

The Leader gave Shen Yiyao a deep, resentful look tinged with a bit of sympathy, “Don’t waste my time, I’m going to buy Miss Lu a burger.”

Shen Yiyao gasped in shock.

Shao Yunxuan’s eyes widened.

Before getting out of the car and walking away, the Leader gave them both a long, deep look, his resentment mingled with some pity.

But he didn’t have time to say anything, hailed a taxi by the roadside, and headed to the burger shop.

Shao Yunxuan became a bit panicky, “How could this be?

Wasn’t Lu Mian not with Mr.

Xiao today?”

“I’m certain she had an exam today and wasn’t with Brother Qimo.

But what about you, do you even understand Lu Mian?

She’s a famous mercenary internationally.

How did it end up like this?” Shen Yiyao couldn’t believe it; the Leader’s last words were truly shocking.

“The Lu Mian I know couldn’t possibly be like this.

She doesn’t have that capability!” Shao Yunxuan was somewhat frightened, thinking that if Lu Mian were ruined, they would have no more worries.

If they got rid of Lu Mian, she would no longer have any means to charm the Xiao Family, and the Xiao Family would certainly not stand up for her anymore.

But now that the operation had failed, everything had changed.

“Miss Shen, what should we do?

Will Lu Mian seek revenge on us?”

Shen Yiyao paused for a moment, “Don’t panic.

What is Lu Mian, after all?

She’s just a nobody from Wucheng!

I refuse to believe that Brother Qimo would disregard the face between families for a commoner.”

The relationships between families are complex and deeply rooted.

Even though the Shen Family had faced some suppression last time, the foundation of the Shen Family was here; the Xiao Family couldn’t possibly shake the foundation of the Shen Family over a Lu Mian.

After all, she was just a commoner, not a big deal!
