The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 657 - Chapter 657 Chapter 657 Amongst Three Companions, There's Bound to be One Single Dog

Chapter 657: Chapter 657: Amongst Three Companions, There’s Bound to be One Single Dog Chapter 657: Chapter 657: Amongst Three Companions, There’s Bound to be One Single Dog Yun Sang, sitting across, heard Xiao Qimo’s flamboyant voice and frowned in distaste.

He courteously picked some more meat and vegetables for Lu Mian, his refined and playful eyes slightly lifted, “Sis, take me with you!”

Who knows, he might even form a new group with Lu Mian’s master.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mian seemed to genuinely contemplate the idea.

“It’s not impossible…” Both her master and Yun Sang had the surname Yun, they might even know each other.

Xiao Qimo was getting annoyed, his icy glare like a knife, chopping down on Yun Sang with every look.

“Yun Sang, haven’t you heard a saying?”

“What?”

“When three people walk together, there must be one single dog.” Xiao Qimo mocked mercilessly.

“…”

Yun Sang leaned back in his chair, his arms crossed over his chest, “Come on, Xiao Qimo, have you no shame?

Who’s the one who delayed my youth, who made it so I’ve never been in a relationship until now?!”

“Hah, as if you could have found a girlfriend without me,” retorted Xiao Qimo, not backing down.

Lu Mian: “…”

Lu Xi: “…”

Watching the two men childishly bicker, Lu Xi quietly said to Lu Mian, “They do have a kind of ‘couple feel’ to them.”

“Right?” Lu Mian nodded slightly, “I thought the same at the beginning.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than two aggrieved pairs of eyes looked over, and Lu Mian awkwardly muttered, “Let’s eat, let’s eat.”

aEUR”aEUR”

After returning to Yangfan Hotel, Lu Xi began packing his things.

He had achieved his purpose of staying at Yangfan Hotel, and the theme of the design competition had been announced, so there was no reason for him to stay any longer.

Lu Mian casually helped him organize his easel, paintbrushes, and some other small items, but deliberately didn’t touch the box of watercolor pencils on the table.

Lu Xi came over, holding the watercolor pencils with a serene look on his face, “What, still holding a grudge?”

The young girl smiled mischievously, “How could I?”

“When you were little, Lu Xinnuan said you ruined her watercolor pencils, and since then, you’ve never painted again.

Mianmian, do you really plan to give up on painting?”

Lu Xi felt it was such a pity.

Lu Mian, with a smile, took the watercolor pencils from his hand and put them into his paint box, chuckling.

“I won’t punish myself for someone else’s mistakes.”

“That’s good to hear.”

Lu Xi nodded in relief, “Mianmian, you need to take care of yourself.

When you get back to Wucheng, if you want to visit the Lu Family, do so; if not, that’s fine too.”

“Okay.”

“If you encounter any problems, just tell me, and I’ll definitely help you.”

“And…”

Lu Xi began to ramble on, instructing Lu Mian on various little things, while she listened patiently.

aEUR”aEUR”

Xiao Qimo also had things to take care of.

He had made up his mind to join the special operations team and agreed to meet at their office.

He had looked at the location sent by Wa Zhiqi, on the outskirts of Shencheng, not too close to Jinjing.

He wasn’t sure how many days this business trip would take.

He called over Mo Si, Mo Nie, and Zhou Xin.

The three of them, seeing his serious expression, knew something important was afoot and held their breath.

“Mo Nie, you stay in Jinjing and look after the Xiao Family’s affairs,” Xiao Qimo said.

Mo Nie was shocked, all these important matters entrusted to him?

Mo Nie was flattered, “Master, rest assured.”

Xiao Qimo then turned to Zhou Xin, “Mo Xin, continue to manage the Shadow Hunting Team’s affairs.

If Yun Sang, Ye Jinwen, Ya Ling, and Lu Mian’s uncle Fu Yu need any help, feel free to deploy the Xiao Family’s resources.”

Zhou Xin smiled, lips pursed, “Yes, Master Mo!”

“`

Mr.

Mo was all bark and no bite, grumbling about his buddies on the surface, but in fact, he cared about them a great deal.

Over the years, having kept him on the Shadow Hunting Team, Mr.

Mo showed how much he really cared about Yun God.

Finally, it was Mo Si’s turn.

Clearly, Xiao Qimo hesitated for a moment before he spoke.

“Mo Si, you’re still in charge of Mianmian’s affairs.

Once she returns to Wucheng, you must protect her in all 360 degrees.”

As the mission was announced, Mo Nie cast a sympathetic glance at Mo Si.

Mo Si was puzzled, “Master, aren’t you coming back to Wucheng with us?”

“Not for now, I’m going to Shencheng.”

Mo Si was quite bewildered.

Wasn’t Mr.

Mo unwilling to leave Miss Lu’s side even for half a step?

Why was he suddenly initiating a separation this time?

“What should I say if Miss Lu asks about it?”

“Just say I’m on a business trip.”

“…Understood,” Mo Si complied and then asked out of curiosity, “You’re suddenly going to Shencheng.

Has something happened?

You’ve assigned us all tasks, but who will be with you?”

“Master, let Mo Si go with you!

That way we’ll feel at ease,” Mo Nie interjected.

In truth, he mainly thought that assigning Mo Si to stay with Lu Mian was a waste of talent, not quite fitting.

“No need, Mo Fan will be there.”

At the mention of Mo Fan, the three subordinates kept silent.

Mo Fan’s position and abilities both exceeded theirs, and he had a highly trained Shadow Guard under his command.

With him protecting Mr.

Mo, they were completely reassured.

The three subordinates left one after the other.

Only when they were outside the room did Mo Nie start to console Mo Si.

“Mo Si, don’t be sad.

I’ll find an opportunity to bring you back to Mr.

Mo’s side.” Poor little Mo Si, hasn’t done anything wrong but step by step, his real power was stripped away, and now he can’t even touch Mr.

Mo’s core affairs.

Alas…

Unlike him, holding an important position, with great responsibilities.

Mo Si opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain to him.

Zhou Xin also patted Mo Si on the shoulder, “Xiaosi, keep it up!”

Mo Si: aEUR|

He thought it was quite nice to be with Miss Lu.

—

The room of Xiao Qimo quieted down, and he picked up his phone, his slender fingers rapidly dialing a string of numbers that looked like gibberish, then he made the call.

A mechanical female voice came from the phone.

“Welcome to Beibingyang Insurance Company, we can handle your needs just by hearing you talk…”

Speechless, it was an insurance company again.

Xiao Qimo repeated several expletives in his mind, and said in a low voice, “Connect me to a human operator.”

“Please wait.”

When a cheerful laugh came through the phone, Xiao Qimo knew the connection was made.

The man rubbed his forehead, “I mean, can’t you come up with something more worldly?”

He was of a good age, yet still engaging in such childish shenanigans.

Yun Zhijuan sounded displeased on the other side, his voice going up a notch, “What now?

What now?

Not like when you were begging me, right?

You won’t even call me senior and still expect me to pass the leadership to you?

Dream on!”

“…” Xiao Qimo felt like his fate was being choked by an old child, using the position of leader as a threat against him.

Just wait, he would seize that position sooner or later.

“That…

senior, the bookmark you were supposed to investigate for me earlier, have you found out anything yet?”

Yun Zhijuan felt slightly guilty, having been busy with other things, he had completely forgotten about it.

Xiao Qimo, as if reading his mind, effortlessly combined elegance with a dash of maliciousness.

“Senior, I know you probably forgot.

But no worries, to make it up to me, help me investigate another person.”
