The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 593 - Chapter 593 Chapter 592 For You, I Can Do Anything

Chapter 593: Chapter 592: For You, I Can Do Anything Chapter 593: Chapter 592: For You, I Can Do Anything Xiao Qimo felt that all his wisdom was being used to deal with the little rascal.

But her IQ was even more otherworldly, often leaving him with a sense of helplessness.

This straight-laced woman!

If it were any other girl, she probably would have tried to find ways to stay in his room by now, yet she remained stubbornly upright and outstanding!

The man took a deep breath.

“However,” the scheming man concocted a new plan, “I still have some experiment records and the growth records of Netherman here.

You can come and see them anytime you want.”

The moment she heard it was information related to Netherman, Lu Mian would of course not miss it.

Still, she asked one more question, “But would it be convenient for you?”

“It’s fine, for you, I’m always available.”

Xiao Qimo watched as Lu Mian nodded in agreement, finally breathing a sigh of relief aEUR” tonight’s accommodation issue was resolved.

After all, he wasn’t willing to let her stay in that cold, cramped guest room.

After the two had breakfast, the opening time for the underground laboratory arrived, and Xiao Qimo was ready to take Lu Mian downstairs.

Just like a scene from a movie, above ground was a simple and plain flower farm, yet below was an enormous laboratory spanning thousands of square meters.

Xiao Qimo said this experiment involved many industries, and fearing that it might cause social upheaval, it had to be temporarily hidden underground.

Except for the research team members, people like housekeepers and chefs were completely unaware of the situation; they simply knew that it was a farm growing flowers and capable of developing new and rare plant species.

The underground laboratory was just a place for researching new varieties.

After giving Lu Mian a brief introduction, Xiao Qimo came to the second underground level.

Walking along the lengthy corridor, the two stood in front of a thick, sealed metal door.

Next to the metal door, a state-of-the-art iris recognition system was installed.

“This?” Lu Mian tilted her head, staring at the system with a somewhat strange expression.

Xiao Qimo, not understanding her expression, explained, “It’s to prevent outsiders from entering.”

“Ah…” She knew it was for confidentiality.

But what was strange was that this iris recognition system was a model used internally by IEG…

Could it be that Director Qimo also had collaborations with IEG?

She shook her head, thinking it might be a coincidence.

Just as Xiao Qimo had scanned his eyes and was about to take Lu Mian inside, the sound of Xin Bo’s urgent voice came from down the corridor.

“Mr.

Xiao!”

Xin Bo’s steps were quick, and he hurried over in a short while.

Beside him was Xin Yuelu, both of them with an urgent look on their faces.

“You are taking Miss Lu inside?” Xin Bo sounded somewhat surprised.

How confidential the research experiment was, Mr.

Xiao was clearer than anyone, and he believed that strangers shouldn’t be so easily allowed in.

Even if the girl was Mr.

Xiao’s girlfriend, to their team, she was still an outsider, a stranger with potential dangers.

Xiao Qimo nodded, his expression very resolute.

Xin Bo managed a strained smile, then turned to look at Lu Mian, explaining, “Inside are just plant cultivations, quite boring.

If you find it dull, I can have someone take you around the farm, and you can also go horseback riding…”

Lu Mian narrowed her eyes, “Uncle Xin, I would like to see the Netherman.”

“…” Xin Bo looked at Xiao Qimo with shock, as if to ask, You told Miss Lu even about this?

It felt like the secret he had been carefully guarding had been casually betrayed by the boss.

Xin Yuelu also furrowed her brows.

“Please, how can I get in?” Lu Mian felt she was quite reasonable, as it was normal to be concerned about leaks, given that all their efforts were inside.

“Only members of our team can enter.”

Lu Mian snorted and looked up at Xiao Qimo, “Director Qimo, can I join now?”

She had always been direct and straightforward, never beating around the bush.

Xiao Qimo chuckled, but before he could respond, Xin Yuelu, who was next to him, spoke up first.

“Miss Lu, you must be joking.”

She smiled slightly, “The minimum academic qualification in our team is a master’s degree…

Miss Lu is still young, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”

Her rejection was watertight.

As a PhD candidate, she had her own pride.

This put Lu Mian in a difficult position, considering she was merely a high school student at the moment.

She was far from obtaining a master’s degree.

Distressed…

Xiao Qimo, however, swept a cold glance at the Xin father and daughter pair and spoke in a stern and serious tone, “I graduated from college.”

Lu Mian burst into laughter.

The director really knew how to undermine others.

Xin Bo: …

Xin Yuelu: …

Xin Bo awkwardly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Although Mr.

Xiao might have just graduated from college, his capabilities were not to be underestimated!

Without waiting for their approval, Xiao Qimo led Lu Mian past the security checkpoint and into the laboratory.

Xin Bo and Xin Yuelu looked at each other helplessly and hastily followed.

Upon entering the laboratory, there was a security passage that would automatically scan all devices on a person.

It made sure that anyone entering or leaving couldn’t communicate with the outside world, nor could they remove any documents unless they had the highest level of authorization.

The more Lu Mian observed, the more she felt that this security system was suspicious, almost like IEG’s security system.

She cooperated by handing over all her electronic devices, even removing her digital wristwatch.

Xiao Qimo’s attention was caught by a small mark on the spot where the watch had been.

Lu Mian covered it quickly, and he didn’t get a clear look.

What followed were the procedures of disinfection, putting on isolation suits, and so on, which were quite complex.

Walking into the laboratory, it seemed no different from a normal laboratory building, the only exception being that it was located underground.

Some people were already at their stations, glancing outside.

They were very familiar with the Xin family and recognized Xiao Qimo, but none of them knew the young girl with short hair; some even took a few extra looks.

Xin Yuelu shook her head helplessly behind them.

Lu Mian showed no emotion and followed Xiao Qimo through row after row of labs.

Xin Yuelu glanced at the time, “Mr.

Xiao, I’ve made some new progress recently.

There’s a small meeting later, would you like to join?”

New progress was a good thing.

Xiao Qimo looked at Lu Mian and saw that she seemed interested, so he nodded.

“Alright, arrange it.”

Xin Yuelu looked troubled, “Miss Lu too?”

Xiao Qimo narrowed his eyes, silently questioning.

Xin Yuelu: …
