The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 584 - Chapter 584 Chapter 583 Only You Can Warm Me Now

Chapter 584: Chapter 583: Only You Can Warm Me Now Chapter 584: Chapter 583: Only You Can Warm Me Now Yun Sang nodded.

He had been searching for people who had once been connected with Renxin Hospital, but after many years, the information he could gather was very limited.

This was also why he had been staying with the Shadow Hunting Team, always wanting to exchange ideas with more top hackers or industry insiders.

Working in this field also allowed him to find more relevant information.

Everything was for the sake of finding the truth, looking for his sister.

“You should ask your aunt why she took your other uncle to such a heartless hospital.

Not only do they not treat illnesses, they delay the treatment!

Was it just for the sake of a cheaper option?”

“…” Lu Mian narrowed her eyes.

With the old events, now she only had countless sighs and regrets for her younger uncle.

Suddenly, she remembered something, “The scandal about you at the burger shop before, was it also because of your sister?”

“Ah, that was when I went to buy a burger for my mom.

Someone was cursing the Yun Family, saying really nasty things, so I beat them up.

Later I heard they’d been in bed for three months and wanted to sue me.

At the time, your Qimo was there too, helped me suppress the news.

I didn’t expect it to still get dug up by the 1515 Team.”

Lu Mian nodded.

If the scandal had been exposed, it would indeed have tarnished Yun Sang’s reputation.

Under media pressure, he might even have become a legal issue.

This 1515 Team, especially their leader Huan Yan, was indeed a troublesome guyaEUR”constantly provoking the Shadow Hunting Team, in need of a lesson…

She collected her thoughts, her heart scheming, then asked, “So now, have you made any progress?”

“Not yet…

I don’t even know where my parents are looking for people, I’m just left all alone.”

After lamenting, Yun Sang sniffled pitifully, the cigarette in his hand reduced to a stub.

He ground it out on the ground and exhaled.

Lu Mian rarely consoled others, “No news is good news.

Maybe your parents have already found her, these things are uncertain.”

“Do you mean, my parents are living it up with my sister, just the two of them?”

“Er…

no.”

“…” Yun Sang smiled, “Just kidding, I believe she will come back.”

“Yeah, with a bunch of relatives who love her, she’ll come back.” Lu Mian smiled softly, murmuring to herself, “I’m so envious of her…”

It was the kinship she could never have in her lifetime…

“Envious, huh.” Yun Sang propped his chin, looked sideways at Lu Mian, “Or, you could agree to my request, become sworn siblings with me, then you’d also be my sister.”

“…”

“Or you could join the Shadow Hunting Team.

I’ll treat you just like a real sister!”

Lu Mian waved her hand, “No need.

Your real sister is the one worth your protection.

You should be more focused.”

“…” Yun Sang tapped his forehead, “You’re definitely not the same!

I was doing it because…”

Lu Mian could read a hint of understanding from his hesitance.

“Don’t tell me you want to rope me into joining the team and become sworn siblings just so I’d help you find someone?”

“Er…” Yun Sang guiltily hung his head.

At first, it was like that.

And there was also the goal of annoying Xiao Qimo.

But later…

Lu Mian shook her head lightly, stood up, dusted off the dirt on her clothes, and walked away.

“Hey…” Yun Sang watched her slender figure leaving, restraining the words he didn’t say.

Actually, I really want to have you as a sister…

With that thought, Yun Sang composed his expression and pulled out his phone to dial a number.

“Take care of two people for me.” Yun Sang’s eyes held a chilling firmness, a stark contrast to the vulnerability he had shown in front of Lu Mian moments ago.

“The woman, make it look like an accident.

I’ll send you the details.”

The other side respectfully responded with an “Understood.”

Yun Sang quickly found two photos in his album, one of Shen Yiyao and one of Shao Yunxuan, and sent them over.

When Lu Mian was preparing to go upstairs, Xiao Qimo was already waiting for her at the staircase.

The man leaned calmly against the armrest, obviously having listened to their entire conversation already, and silently expressing his dissatisfaction.

Lu Mian coughed lightly and then walked over, wrapping her arms around herself, and nestled directly into his embrace.

Xiao Qimo’s eyes paused, and the contours of his face, which were about to pursue the matter, instantly softened.

At least she had some conscience and knew to come and coax him.

He pretended to be proud and stood there without moving.

Lu Mian burrowed deeper into his embrace and even adjusted his overcoat herself.

Xiao Qimo couldn’t help it any longer and wrapped his arms around the girl, with an even prouder tone, “Now you know to come and coax me?”

“Ah…” Lu Mian chuckled, “It’s quite cold outside.

Keep me warm.”

“…”

Was she here to seek warmth from him?!

The straightforward way of thinking of a straight woman made Xiao Qimo even more gloomy.

Yet, Lu Mian wound her arms around his sturdy waist and softly said, “Only you can keep me warm…”

“…”

What could Xiao Qimo say?

He had nothing to say and just honestly wrapped his coat around them, holding her in his arms.

He casually slipped her hands into his shirt as well.

Feeling the solid muscles on his back and the real texture of his skin, Lu Mian’s fingertips recoiled slightly.

Xiao Qimo said earnestly, “I’m willing to offer my warmth.

Don’t worry, I’m not afraid of the cold.”

Lu Mian: Aren’t you the one who’s most sensitive to the cold?

In the afternoon, Lu Mian received a call from Ya Ling.

Ya Ling’s tone was a bit solemn and somewhat urgent.

“Mian, do you know about your uncle’s condition?”

“What happened?”

“I went to the central hospital today and saw your uncle there.”

“What were you doing at the hospital?

What was my uncle doing at the hospital?”

Ya Ling laughed lightly, rather pleased, “Mian, you actually thought to ask about me…”

Lu Mian: “…”

“Well, I wanted to check on Yixin’s medical records, right?

Oh, but that’s not the point.

After I saw your uncle, I asked his attending physician.

They finally confessed under my tough interrogation.”

“…Get to the point.”

“The point is…” Ya Ling hesitated, recalling the gentle and kind gentleman.

“Your uncle’s eyes have already undergone organic changes.

He must receive treatment within three months.

Otherwise, if the condition worsens, it will cause irreversible damage to his brain and life.”

“…” Lu Mian pressed her lips together, unable to adjust her emotions, and asked solemnly, “The solution?”

“The solution is…

to remove the eyeballs.”

“Then he’ll never be able to regain his sight.

He’ll never see light again, see the musical notes, or see me…”

Ya Ling didn’t know how to comfort her.

“But your uncle’s condition has been dragged on for so many years, and the eyeballs have changed.

It’s an inevitable situation.

Medical science has developed to this day, and we still can’t carry out an eye transplant operation.

There are too many and too small optic nerves; no one can perform such a surgery.”

Lu Mian fell into deep silence.

In three months, either find a solution or remove the eyeballs.

That was the so-called solution.

Xiao Qimo, having appeared at some point, probably hearing Lu Mian’s conversation with Ya Ling, reminded, “Ask Ya Ling if she knows about a type of tissue cell regeneration and repair factor, abbreviated as the RE Factor.”

Lu Mian glanced at him and immediately relayed his words to Ya Ling.

Ya Ling, with a pen in her mouth and her desk littered with scattered files, brightened up upon hearing Lu Mian’s words, “Your husband actually knows about this?”

Lu Mian: “Cough, mind your language.”

“Ah, I mean, your husband is so knowledgeable and impressive!

I didn’t mean to belittle him.”

Lu Mian: “…”
