The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 607 - Chapter 607 Chapter 606 Defying the Heavens Wherever We Go

Chapter 607: Chapter 606: Defying the Heavens Wherever We Go Chapter 607: Chapter 606: Defying the Heavens Wherever We Go Sun Kai was generous with his praise.

The girl looked to be about twenty years old, and she was almost at his level, indeed quite impressive.

Lu Mian lifted her eyelids lazily.

She had not really listened to the beginning, but the last four words “fear the young” caught her attention.

She pondered in her mind, wondering which young person this Sun Kai could be?

Unfamiliar.

With Sun Kai’s explanation, the misunderstanding was sealed as a “misunderstanding,” and Xin Yuelu couldn’t have felt more embarrassed.

The person she had invited had turned out to validate Lu Mian.

She forced a smile and managed to maintain her composure and grace.

“I’m truly sorry, Miss Lu.

Please forgive our concern for research findings.”

She was gracious and sincere in her demeanor.

Lu Mian hummed a lazy acknowledgment, not even bothering to lift her eyelids.

Xin Yuelu did not take offense and turned to Xiao Qimo, suggesting, “Mr.

Xiao, our farm did indeed have a security issue with our network.

I propose letting my classmate take full responsibility to avoid such misunderstandings in the future.

Sun Kai, who has been sought after by many top-ranked companies, is undoubtedly competent…”

Xiao Qimo did not look at Xin Yuelu but instead sought Lu Mian’s opinion with his eyes.

Lu Mian waved her hand impatiently, “Whatever, I’m off to the laboratory.”

“Alright, I’ll take you there.”

Xiao Qimo did not say another word and immediately accompanied Lu Mian as they left, casting a very cold and heavy glance at Group Leader Yuelu as they passed him.

Group Leader Yuelu, with his mouth open, called out “Mr.

Xiao,” but failed to make a sound.

Pu Zongyang wanted to say something more, but Xin Yuelu silenced him.

They were a step slower as they walked out of the room.

“Teacher, why didn’t you let me mention the lost item?”

Xin Yuelu shook her head, “Without evidence, even if we spoke up, Mr.

Xiao wouldn’t believe it.”

She sighed as she walked, looking towards the deep end of the corridor at Lu Mian’s room, her emotions inexplicable.

Pu Zongyang cast a sidelong glance, “She leaves her own room empty and insists on staying in someone else’s, how shameless…”

He turned back to console Xin Yuelu, “Teacher, this Lu Mian is too arrogant.

You apologized to her, and she didn’t even respond.

From now on, you shouldn’t be so kind to her.”

“…” Xin Yuelu let out a slow breath and stepped down a stair, her heart sinking a little further, “I don’t need to stoop to her level over these matters.”

“You’re too magnanimous…

Has she even considered the contributions we’ve made to society, what has she done?

Even if it’s a misunderstanding, she should know to respect others,” he argued.

“Enough, keep your opinions to yourself,” Xin Yuelu said with some irritation, turning back to instruct Sun Kai, “Sun Kai, I’m still going to need your help to fix the lab’s security system as soon as possible.

We need to find the lost items quickly.”

“Okay, I’ll do my best.”

Group Leader Yuelu watched from behind as his daughter coped with these trivial issues, deeply concerned.

Xin Yuelu’s heart was drifting further and further away from scientific research.

aEUR”aEUR”

Xiao Qimo accompanied Lu Mian back to the laboratory, and some people were quite vigilant.

The two headed straight for the pharmaceuticals team, with Xiao Qimo immediately asking Pan Jiancheng for the data.

“Mr.

.cO

Xiao, this seems a bit inappropriate…” Pan Jiancheng looked at Lu Mian, unwilling to hand over his data report.

It was the critical moment for the success of the experiment, and who wouldn’t worry about having their fruits of victory stolen?

But ultimately, an arm cannot twist a thigh, and Pan Jiancheng, reluctant as he was, gave in under Xiao Qimo’s veiled threats and alluring promises of “a flick of the fingers for funding.”

“Miss Lu, please have a look.

Please take a seat over here to review it,” said Pan Jiancheng warmly and politely.

Lu Mian took the stack of data reports, quickly flipped through them, and handed them back.

She didn’t have much of an understanding of these data; a glance was enough to get a general idea.

Pan Jiancheng smiled and put away the materials, thinking to himself that Miss Lu was quite amusing, just taking a cursory look aEUR” what was the point of that, really?

Well, at least he didn’t have to worry about the data being leaked anymore.

Unaware of Pan Jiancheng’s thoughts, Lu Mian courteously asked, “Group Leader Pan, a relative of mine has had an eye disease since childhood that has never been cured.

Recently, we learned that there has been organic damage to the eye, necessitating its removal.

May I consult with you whether the RE Factor can restore his eyeball?”

“So, Miss Lu came seeking medicine for a relative,” Pan Jiancheng paused, pointing at rows of test tubes and samples on the lab rack, and said, “Theoretically, it is entirely possible.

However, we’ve only extracted one drop of RE Factor so far, which is far from enough to cure your relative, so…”

They themselves didn’t have enough for their experiments, let alone any surplus to give to Miss Lu!

“That’s easy to discuss,” Lu Mian said with a smile.

“What?” Pan Jiancheng looked confused, as if he had heard wrong.

Easy to discuss?

Extracting a large amount of RE Factor?

Lu Mian came back to her senses, “Nothing, thank you very much.”

Pan Jiancheng nodded absently.

aEUR”

Cultivation group.

After Xin Yuelu and Pu Zongyang returned, some team members came to gossip.

“Group Leader, do you know why Mr.

Xiao brought Miss Lu to the lab?”

Of course, Xin Yuelu didn’t know.

“Miss Lu is here to seek medicine; her relative has an eye problem and wants to use the RE Factor for recovery.”

“No way!

She really did have an ulterior motive!” Pu Zongyang sneered, “She comes seeking medicine with such a high and mighty attitude, not even saying thanks, and she even got our group’s special funding stopped aEUR” she’s really something!”

The more he thought about it, the more he disliked Lu Mian.

Whenever the name Lu Mian came up, he could find all sorts of reasons to be contrary.

Xin Yuelu felt increasingly uncomfortable in her heart.

Just then, researchers from another group passed by the entrance and saw the somewhat desolate cultivation group, whispering amongst themselves, “It seems like the cultivation group has offended someone, Mr.

Xiao has stopped their funding!”

“Back in the day, the cultivation group was the most glamorous, and now they can’t even progress their projects.”

“Although, this does seem a bit like burning bridges…

after all, Group Leader Yuelu has made so many contributions to the lab…”

“Yeah, it’s quite a pitiful situation.”

“…”

The more Xin Yuelu listened, the more aggrieved she felt.

“Teacher, don’t be sad.

Without our Netherman from the cultivation group, where would they get their samples?

Just wait and see, they’ll come begging to us sooner or later!”

Pu Zongyang’s attempt at consolation wasn’t very effective at the moment; Xin Yuelu only felt more irritable and rubbed her temples wearily, “Alright, let’s just wait for the news from Sun Kai.”

aEUR”

Lu Mian received a call from Ya Ling, asking about her situation over the past few days.

“Mian, how are you?

Yuanyuan has called you several times but it says the number can’t be reached.

That girl is really worried about you.”

Holding her phone and smiling, Lu Mian stopped by a window ledge in the hallway.

“It must have been blocked by the lab’s signal, I’ll call her back in a bit.”

“Okay.

How’s your progress over there?”

“There’s already good news, but it will take time,” Lu Mian didn’t give specifics but consoled Ya Ling, “Don’t worry, I assure you I’ll complete the mission.

Wait for my triumphant return.”

Ya Ling giggled, “I’m impressed with you; wherever you go, you defy the odds…”

“…” Lu Mian couldn’t help but laugh, unsure whether Ya Ling was praising her or being envious.

Lu Mian continued to chat with Ya Ling for a few more sentences before hanging up to call Sui Yuan.

While talking, she leisurely made her way back to Xiao Qimo’s room.

After she left, a hesitant figure peeked out from one of the rooms.
