The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 658 - Chapter 658 Chapter 658 They're Each So Rebellious

Chapter 658: Chapter 658: They’re Each So Rebellious Chapter 658: Chapter 658: They’re Each So Rebellious Yun Zhijuan: “…”

Listen to this, how shameless!

Before Yun Zhijuan could make a sarcastic comment, Xiao Qimo forcefully spoke up, “I want a copy of all the victim information for the 726 kidnapping case.

I know you don’t want me meddling in this matter, but it’s very important to me.”

Yun Zhijuan, bored, picked at his toes, “How important?”

“It’s related to my personal happiness.”

“…” Well, that was pretty important, but…

what did his junior brother’s happiness have to do with him!

He had painstakingly arranged a blind date for him, yet he insisted on taking a detour to like someone else.

Yun Zhijuan sat back, waiting for Xiao Qimo to come back, begging him for help!

“Junior brother, the 726 incident is at the core of IEG’s top secrets.

I can’t possibly tell you about it, unless you become the leader,” Yun Zhijuan casually finished speaking, even giving a provocative sneer.

“However, you’re not the only candidate for the next leader.

It’s not so easy to climb to the top, you know…”

“Isn’t there just a Second Team?” Xiao Qimo’s laugh was even colder than Yun Zhijuan’s, with a hint of disdain in his voice, “Sorry, but the reputation of the Second Team isn’t as good as mine.”

“Shut up, don’t talk about the Second Team like that!” Yun Zhijuan was furious.

“…” Xiao Qimo internally cursed the lunatic.

The rumors that the Second Team was the leader’s pet project were true; they hardly did any tasks, but their attitudes were worse than anyone’s.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make them acknowledge me willingly.”

Yun Zhijuan spat several times, realizing he shouldn’t stoke the fire further, and quickly softened his tone: “Let’s not talk about that.

If you want to know core secrets, there’s another way.”

“Speak.”

Yun Zhijuan smiled slyly: “Go on the blind date.”

“…” Xiao Qimo was even more speechless, “I’m telling you, senior brother, just how hard is it to marry off the person you’re setting me up with that you’ve to push me into it this way?

I’ve already said, I have a girlfriend!”

“She’s not hard to marry off at allaEUR”she’s doing well!”

Xiao Qimo’s tone grew more assertive: “My girlfriend is also doing great, she’s the unrivalled number one in the world.”

“…” Yun Zhijuan wasn’t backing down: “The girl I’m introducing you to is the unrivalled number one in the universe!”

One’s talking about the world, the other the universe.

Xiao Qimo: …

When it comes to being childish, you win.

At that moment, Lu Mian, who was in Lu Xi’s room packing things up: Achoo!

In the end, Xiao Qimo still couldn’t get any useful information from Yun Zhijuan and was even lectured by the other party.

.co

“Junior brother, I’ll say it in advance: you can date whomever you want, but when it comes to detailed business affairs of IEG, even with the closest relationship, you can’t disclose a bit.

That’s the rule.”

“I know, you don’t need to remind me.”

Xiao Qimo hung up the phone in annoyance and soon heard Lu Mian at the door calling, “Director Qimo, my brother is leaving,” and he quickly got up to go out.

The two of them sent Lu Xi down to the lobby, and Xiao Qimo arranged for a car to take Lu Xi back to the apartment.

Lu Xi again entrusted Xiao Qimo with several requests, looking back thrice with every step he took as he climbed into the car.

Xiao Qimo, holding Lu Mian’s hand, waved goodbye.

“My brother has gone far,” Lu Mian said, leading Xiao Qimo back to the yard, “Director Qimo, shouldn’t we be heading back to Wucheng now?”

Xiao Qimo paused, “Your flight has been booked.

You go back to Wucheng first, I still have some business to attend to.”

Director Qimo isn’t coming back with her?

Lu Mian pondered for a moment: “Should I wait for you?”

Xiao Qimo, for some reason, saw a flash of excitement in Lu Mian’s eyes.

She’s happy that he’s not accompanying her back?

“No need to wait for me; I’ll join you in Wucheng after I’m done with my stuff.

During this time, you be good and attend your classes, if there is any trouble, seek out Mo Si,” Xiao Qimo instructed, increasingly sensing something off about Lu Mian’s emotions.

“Mianmian, you seem quite happy?”

“How could I be!” Lu Mian sighed as they walked, “It’s such a pity.

Really, it’s such a pity…”

Just as Xiao Qimo was about to ask more, Yun Sang came out of the hall holding Lu Mian’s phone.

“Sister, your phone was ringing,” he hurriedly handed it over: “It seems like a telemarketing number.”

Lu Mian felt her pocket; she had left her phone at the bar while helping her cousin with the luggage.

She took the phone calmly and glanced at the number.

Just as Xiao Qimo curiously looked toward her phone, the girl decisively and ruthlessly hung up.

“Those kinds of calls, just hang up,” she said indifferently, putting away her phone.

“I’m going upstairs to pack my things first.”

Lu Mian returned to her room, her long legs closed the door behind her, and she sprawled lazily onto the sofa.

Her phone spun in her palm, and with a few flicks of her long fingers, she redialed the advertising sales number she had just received.

The irate voice of Yun Zhijuan came through, “Mian Xiaobao, you actually hung up on my call!”

“I was busy just now.”

The old man let out a wistful “Oh”: “I miss you.”

“Good, because I have something to discuss with you too.”

Yun Zhijuan: “…”

My devoted affection for my disciple seems to have been misplaced after all.

Every time Mian Xiaobao contacted him, it was either to ask him to pull strings or to spend money, always a worry.

This time, however, Lu Mian let out a soft laugh, gentle and mild.

“Master, would you be willing to meet my boyfriend?

He’s really eager to see you.”

“Oh no!” Yun Zhijuan was about to explode with irritation, the mere mention of this matter got him all worked up.

Every single one of them is too rebellious, way too rebellious!

“No way!”

“Why not?”

“I’m very busy lately, not in the country.

I’m calling to tell you to be cautious and not too ostentatious recently, got it?”

“Oh.

So when will you be available?” Lu Mian pressed on.

“Maybe when you’re heartbroken, Master will probably have time.”

Lu Mian: …

“Then I wish you an early retirement!”

—

The next morning, Xiao Qimo and Yun Sang accompanied Lu Mian to the airport; it was time for her return to Wucheng.

Ye Jinwen and Ya Ling were at the hospital, unable to leave, and Lu Mian didn’t ask them to come over.

Yun Sang was wrapped in a frosty chill, having been in a less than pleasant mood since early morning.

Mo Si helped Lu Mian with all her luggage, and seeing it was almost time, urged her to board.

Lu Mian agreed promptly.

“Director Qimo, I’ll wait obediently for you in Wucheng; take care of yourself too.”

Xiao Qimo couldn’t have been more pleased as he hugged her petite frame, reluctant to let go: “Alright, wait for me to come back.”

“Miss Lu, let’s go inside,” Mo Si urged again.

Yun Sang rushed over in a few steps, not caring whether Xiao Qimo was beside them or not, and gave Lu Mian a tense little hug.

“Sis, once my competition is over, I’ll come to you.”

The hug was sudden, yet Lu Mian didn’t resist; she patted Yun Sang’s back with the back of her hand and softly said, “Okay.”

After the brief farewell, Lu Mian followed Mo Si into the departure hall.

Xiao Qimo looked at his watch, Mo Nie, pushing another luggage trolley, also came over.

“I should be going too.” The refined man took over the suitcase and left without looking back.

Yun Sang rolled his eyes, “Get lost already, you’re so annoying.”

The way he treated Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo was poles apart.

“Who needs you?” Xiao Qimo let out a cold laugh and turned to walk in the opposite direction from where Lu Mian had gone.

Lu Mian’s destination was Wucheng, while his was Shencheng.

ButaEUR”

Shortly after Xiao Qimo left, a slender youth with agile moves slipped out.
