The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 566 - Chapter 566 Chapter 565 Coming to Get Something from Shen Yiyao

Chapter 566: Chapter 565: Coming to Get Something from Shen Yiyao Chapter 566: Chapter 565: Coming to Get Something from Shen Yiyao Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian’s arrival was like two towering mountains.

They brought a strong sense of support to Ye Jinwen, Shen Yixin, and Ya Ling.

To the Ye couple, the Shen couple, and Shen Yiyao, they brought an oppressive force that was both dominant and sharp.

Upon seeing Xiao Qimo, everyone else in the living room stood up in unison.

Even though they were Xiao Qimo’s elders, they couldn’t help but stay cautious under the intense pressure of his presence.

Standing behind her parents, Shen Yiyao threw a challenging look towards Lu Mian.

The two stoic men in black, who appeared as impenetrable as cast iron, immediately stood respectfully behind Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian when they realized their master had arrived.

These were the junior Shadow Guards from Xiao Qimo’s “Mo Ying” team, their backgrounds scrubbed so clean, no traces could be found.

He had ordered Mo Fan, in charge of assassination operations, to casually assign two men for this task; dealing with someone like Shen Yiyao was more than sufficient.

Xiao Qimo couldn’t tolerate Shen Yiyao hiring international mercenaries to harm Lu Mian.

This time, he ignored any semblance of familial consideration and brought his people directly to the Shen Family.

The temperature in the living room visibly dropped.

Perhaps it was Xiao Qimo’s noble yet cold aura that immobilized them, but the elders nodded their heads cautiously and carefully as they greeted him.

They took the initiative to greet Xiao Qimo.

But the esteemed Lord of the Empire, Xiao, wouldn’t even spare them a glance.

Ye Jinwen approached quickly and eagerly, “Qimo, Little Mianmian, you’ve arrived!”

After he spoke, Ye Father, Ye Mother, Shen Father, Shen Mother, and Shen Yihe, all still somewhat confused before, understood.

This stunningly beautiful girl was Lu Mian.

Xiao Qimo’s girlfriend, the daughter-in-law openly acknowledged by the Xiao Family.

They realized why she had caught Xiao Qimo’s eyeaEUR”certainly attractive but limited to just that.

Tang Wenhui, who had been imperious just moments ago, toned down her demeanor and smiled, “It’s Qimo.

What’s with all the pomp and circumstance?”

Xiao Qimo nodded politely, a courtesy extended solely on behalf of Ye Jinwen.

He looked at the girl beside him, who had been nonchalantly playing with her phone from the beginning, and with a cold smile barely concealing his protective stance, he said lightly, “I’m here today to collect something from Shen Yiyao.”

His tone was as tranquil as if commenting on the weather, but the content of his words made the Shen family of five pause in shock.

They weren’t foolish; they understood what he meant.

It was time to settle scores.

Shen Yiyao, intimidated, hid behind her parents but spoke with an undertone of entitlement, “Mom, Dad, brother, sister, look, Brother Qimo, for the sake of that commoner, wants to hurt me!”

Her words directed everyone’s gaze onto Lu Mian.

It was unquestionableaEUR”it must have been Lu Mian who instigated all this.

Shen Juntao and Huang Lijun looked at Lu Mian with some hostility.

Since this girl appeared, she had repeatedly damaged the relations between the Shen and Xiao Families, as well as the Ye Family.

She was nothing but trouble.

Having no significant status, yet she still acted recklessly under the pretext of Mr.

Xiao’s affection.

Shen Juntao’s expression turned cold, “Mr.

Xiao, I am unaware of what offense my daughter Yiyao could’ve possibly committed to provoke Miss Lu so deeply that she bears such resentment towards my child?”

Lu Mian also looked up curiously, glancing sideways at Xiao Qimo.

Indeed, she too wanted to know why Director Qimo suddenly came to the Shen Family to find Shen Yiyao.

Could it be that their cover was blown…

Well, that’s a bit troublesome.

“Not just that!” Huang Lijun added, “The cancellation of the marriage between Jinwen and Yixin also had her hand in it.”

Upon hearing this, the Ye couple narrowed their eyes.

Ya Ling uttered a light laugh.

Despite the many who disapproved of Lu Mian, she unhesitatingly moved next to Lu Mian, firmly choosing her side.

“Mian bro~”

She affectionately called out, clearly indicating the close relationship between her and Lu Mian to everyone present.

Lu Mian flashed a smile at her and buried her head to continue playing the game.

The clamor of the outside world had nothing to do with her; she only focused on staring at her phone.

She only showed a bit of expression to those she was close to.

Her coming here today wasn’t for Shen Yiyao; it was to see how things were on Ya Ling’s side.

To put it plainly, she had encountered Director Xiao on her way to the Shen Family’s place.

So…

she came here along the way.

She felt a bit guilty.

Mo Si was so obedient; he probably hadn’t told him about the fight with the mercenaries, right…?

At this moment.

Mo Si, the very obedient and compliant, sneezed in the car outside the entrance of the Shen Family.

He thought that the matter of writing the anonymous letter would not be discovered, right…?

Xiao Qimo couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with these people, squinting his eyes and slightly lifting his chin, a look from his eyes went to the two Shadow Guards standing behind him.

One of the Shadow Guards took out a stack of files from his pocket and “plop” placed them on the coffee table.

Xiao Qimo indifferently said, “Shen Yiyao hired international mercenaries to assassinate my girlfriend; all the evidence is here.”

Mercenaries…

Lu Mian parted her lips slightly, oh…

it was really discovered.

A lecture was unavoidable now.

Moreover, she wondered if Director Xiao would ask her anything about the fate of those mercenaries.

She was like a child who had caused trouble outside, her footsteps very small and light, she moved a bit outward, distancing herself from Xiao Qimo.

Xiao Qimo glanced at her, “What are you hiding from?”

Lu Mian had no choice but to walk back with small steps, her voice low and guilty, “You already know.”

“You were thinking of keeping it from me?” Xiao Qimo couldn’t contain his anger.

Such a big matter and she was actually not planning to tell him?!

“…” It’s not that big of a deal.

The girl stuck out her tongue and, with a calm expression, continued playing her game.

“You…” Xiao Qimo was helpless to the extreme.

Everyone: …

Shen Yiyao’s parents across from them, as well as Shen Yiyao herself, were somewhat incapacitated by the turn of events.

Just a moment ago, they were eagerly thinking it was Lu Mian stirring up trouble, and the next second they were faced with undeniable evidence.

It wasn’t Lu Mian who reported this?!

This is illogical!

Shen Juntao and Huang Lijun didn’t have time to analyze Lu Mian’s motives; their gazes fell on the coffee table.

“Mercenary assassination?”

“Mr.

Xiao, could there be a misunderstanding?”

The Shen spouses hurriedly picked up the stack of documents on the table, trembling as they opened them.

Faced with the blunt records of placing orders and transfer records, along with other clearly visible evidence, their faces turned white with fright.

Their daughter had actually tried to assassinate Lu Mian?!

Assassinations were not new to them.

In major families, who didn’t have some unspeakable mattersaEUR”such occurrences were far too common.

But a failed assassination that was caught with solid evidence by the Xiao Family led to severe consequences!

Watching the Shen couple’s faces change unpredictably, Xiao Qimo remained unmoved.

Shen Yixin looked at Lu Mian worriedly, unsure if she had been hurt.

At home, it was Shen Yihe who remained the most composed.

He stepped forward quickly to express his concern, “Lord Mo, Miss Lu isn’t hurt, is she?”

“There is an issue,” Xiao Qimo uttered coldly.
