Mo Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Love-Struck Mr.

Mo Wa Zhiqi chuckled.

“Mr.

Xiao, have you become so enamored that you’ve lost your senses?

How could a bounty that’s been issued be withdrawn?

Besides, you’re well aware of how much help Hacker number thirteen can be to the Criminal Police Team.

How can you say something so naive?”

Xiao Qimo’s face darkened.

“But now, even mobilizing hackers globally hasn’t led us to Thirteen, and the only tips we’ve had are limited to Jinjing’s scope.

We can’t keep waiting for Thirteen; we have to work on the case and wait for news simultaneously.”

Wa Zhiqi shifted his position on the bed, “But, Mr.

Xiao, if you’re able, you could also lend a hand in searching!”

Xiao Qimo scoffed, “I have neither the capability nor the mood, don’t look for me.”

“aEUR|Wait, what’s gotten into you?

The teams this time are divided by country, and I represent the small squad from Z Country.

If we can crack this case, Z Country’s international influence will surely rise to a new level.”

Wa Zhiqi felt that Qimo, who was usually so career-focused, wasn’t quite himself lately, possibly addled by love.

The formidable Qimo, who had always been a force to reckon with, was now a love-struck fool.

Xiao Qimo remained silent.

Feeling that he could no longer solicit help from this big shot, Wa Zhiqi let out a sigh and said, “Alright then, you go ahead and stay busy.”

Just as he was about to hang up, Xiao Qimo spoke up with a grave yet fierce tone.

“Rest assured, I will help you catch the kidnapper.”

“Do you meanaEUR|” Wa Zhiqi quickly pressed the phone to his ear.

Was Qimo going to join their team?

“You must have an office, right?

Give me the address; I’ll come and meet up with you.”

“Sure thing!”

After that, Xiao Qimo hung up the phone, stood still in the corridor for a short while, then turned and walked back.

Around the corner, he ran into Lu Xi unexpectedly.

Lu Xi was holding a takeaway bag from a burger place, and when their eyes met, he lifted the bag somewhat awkwardly.

“I went out to get the burger you ordered for Mianmian.”

Xiao Qimo’s icy demeanor thawed slightly, “Mr.

Lu, let me take it.”

“No need, no need, it’s not heavy.

Let’s head back together.”

Lu Xi stepped aside to make way for Xiao Qimo.

Xiao Qimo’s gaze swept over him, filled with deep implications.

He wasn’t sure if Lu Xi had heard his conversation just now.

Lu Xi opened his mouth to explain, “I just came overaEUR|I only heard you talking about the kidnapping case.

Are you doing this for Mianmian?”

“Those people must be eradicated.”

The resolve and adamancy in his eyes struck a chord in Lu Xi.

“Mr.

XiaoaEUR|” Lu Xi looked up at Xiao Qimo.

There was something new in his eyesaEUR”beyond the filters of W God, beyond the biases of a wealthy young master, what remained were understanding and reconciliation.

“Mianmian has said a lot of good things about you to me.

I was actually quite resistant at first.

Girls can be overly emotional when in love, and I was worried she would be at a disadvantage, always blocking you two.”

Xiao Qimo nodded, “I understand completely.”

“Thank you for your understanding.

You showed me a different side of the privileged son, and also your genuine care and actions toward Mianmian.

I truly wish you and Mianmian all the best!”

Lu Xi was a perceptive man; he realized how dangerous investigating the kidnapping could be, especially since Xiao Qimo seemed likely to join some sort of agency.

He had always said that to evaluate a man, you shouldn’t only listen to what he says, but also look at what he does.

Xiao Qimo’s actions over the past days had not gone unnoticed by him.

“From now on, at the Lu Family, you’ll have my support,” Lu Xi extended his hand, this time genuinely wanting to shake hands with Xiao Qimo.

Xiao Qimo was pleasantly surprised and returned the handshake with Lu Xi, silently cheering in his heart.

Having managed to win over the trap-setting young uncle and the stubborn cousin, the path ahead should only get easier from here on outaEUR|

“Don’t put yourself in danger either, pay attention to safety.

It’s not easy for Mianmian to fall for someone; she definitely hopes you’ll be with her until the end,” Lu Xi said with kind concern.

Xiao Qimo curled his lips into a smile.

“Alright.”

The two men returned to the private room, one after the other, and Yun Sang noticed that the atmosphere between Xiao Qimo and Lu Xi had changed, feeling that they were becoming more and more like a family.

Lu Mian was also a bit curious.

The refined man sat back down, intentionally moving a bit closer to Lu Mian, patiently and carefully opening the takeaway box for her, folding her burger wrapper, and passing it over.

Lu Mian whispered, “What happened between you and my brother?”

“Your brother just gave me his approval!” Xiao Qimo leaned in and whispered in Lu Mian’s ear.

Yun Sang: So bold!

Does Xiao Qimo have any respect for his elders at all?!

The cool and refined breath fanned Lu Mian’s sensitive ears, magnifying the magnetic voice tinged with a hint of youthful vibrancy.

The girl’s face reddened at once, and after biting into her burger, she said quietly while looking down.

“Congratulations!”

The man’s breath brushed her ear again, “The same to you.”

Yun Sang didn’t understand why, but something about the couple’s subtle movements bothered him, as if…

his homegrown cabbage had been rooted up by a pig.

Even though the cabbage wasn’t planted by him, he couldn’t shake an irksome feeling.

Yun Sang kept nudging Lu Xi, “Mr.

Lu, take a look!”

Lu Xi, with his head down eating meat and also serving some to Yun Sang, said, “Alright, as her brother, I should learn to trust my sister’s judgment.”

Yun Sang: ???

Well, that marks the disbandment of the shortest-lived Xi-Sang brotherhood in history.

Seeing that Lu Xi was completely won over by Xiao Qimo, Yun Sang gave his buddy a thumbs up, yet his tone was fierce, “Xiao Qimo, don’t get too cocky, I’m still watching you!”

“Tch.”

Now that he had his cousin’s approval, Xiao Qimo flicked a mocking white-eye at Yun Sang with raised eyebrows and a triumphant air.

Extras, go play on the side!

“By the way, Mianmian, do you have any other important friends or relatives that matter to you?” He was in such high spirits, he wanted to quickly win over all of Lu Mian’s friends and relatives.

Just in case they happen to pass by the Civil Affairs Bureau someday.

There weren’t many people Lu Mian cared about, and he hoped to have her blessed by all of them.

He couldn’t just possess her so dominantly and simply; he wanted to make her happy, joyful.

Lu Mian tilted her head to think for a moment, “Yeah, like my four teammates and my mentoraEUR| these are all very important to me.”

Xiao Qimo paused, nearly blurting out, “Who’s the last one?”

Luckily, he had a slightly higher EQ than Lu Mian, “Oh, when there’s time, can I meet your four teammates?”

He was indeed curious to see who this mysterious last person was.

Lu Mian, failing to notice the hidden glint in Xiao Qimo’s eyes, shook her head honestly, “Not right now, it’s not very convenient.”

Xiao Qimo’s face fell quickly.

She wouldn’t even let him meet her?

Yun Sang watched on with amusement, raising an eyebrow.

“However, I can take you to meet my mentor.

He should be in Jinjing recently, I’ll talk to him about it,” Lu Mian added.

Ah, to meet the mentor.

The man snapped out of his dejection, hiding all emotions, and smiled gracefully.

“Good, I’m looking forward to meeting our mentor.”
