The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 661 - Chapter 661 Chapter 661 - Give Uncle Mo a Surprise

Chapter 661: Chapter 661 – Give Uncle Mo a Surprise Chapter 661: Chapter 661 – Give Uncle Mo a Surprise Could it be that whatever they lack, she just happens to excel at?

Wa Zhiqi thought for a long time but didn’t dare to drift toward more exaggerated thoughts, and he clipped that flamboyantly written, expressive piece of tattered paper in the examination handbook.

“Since you’ve already passed the basic assessment, let me tell you,” he said.

He counted on his fingers, “Our office is particularly short on tracking talent, combat talent, criminal investigation talent, and yes, most importantly, computer experts.”

The office did have relevant staff, but their level of expertise was still a big stride behind Number Thirteen.

After saying this, Wa Zhiqi looked up at Lu Mian, his gaze similar to how one might look at a child.

After all, he was a few years older and had been through the wringer at an international criminal police unit, he considered his life experiences to be richer than Lu Mian’s.

“Little sister, which area do you think you excel in?” he asked.

“Then let’s go with computers,” Lu Mian said without even glancing at Wa Zhiqi, directly speaking her mind.

Wa Zhiqi’s brain froze for several seconds upon hearing her tone, which was as if she were at a market choosing vegetables, telling the vendor, “Then I’ll take this cabbage.”

What is this, a joke?

Knowing they were short on computer experts, she still chose that field.

But that didn’t mean they were going to lower the difficulty of their assessments, did it?!

What they wanted wasn’t just talented people, but the cream of the crop, the very best!

Wa Zhiqi felt so tired at heart.

But since Lu Mian had already taken the test, he couldn’t refuse without breaking the rules.

In the end, he said with a heavy heart, “I’ll go through the discharge procedures in a bit, and head to Shencheng early tomorrow morning.”

Lu Mian snapped her fingers elegantly, her mood beginning to improve.

“Then you get some rest, I’ll be on my way.”

“Hey, Miss Lu!” Wa Zhiqi called out after her, not forgetting about the injection he had received, “What did you inject me with today?

Was it toxic?”

“No poison, just penicillin for inflammation,” she replied.

“Oh.” Wa Zhiqi rubbed his buttocks and looked at her in her white coat.

“You seem to know what you’re doing, did you study medicine or something?”

If her medical skills were decent, she could work as support in the team.

It wasn’t too dangerous, and it needed skill.

Lu Mian looked down at herself and, very calmly, took off the white coat, saying indifferently, “No.”

“Huh?”

“That was my first time giving an injection.”

Wa Zhiqi: “You, you, you…”

She dared to give an injection on her first try, was she insane?!

His breathing grew somewhat rapid, but Lu Mian was as composed as ever, tidying the medical cart and getting ready to leave.

Wa Zhiqi: …

My name is Wa Zhiqi, and while I may appear to be the upstanding captain of the Criminal Investigation Bureau on the surface, in private, I’m just a lab rat at other people’s disposal.

“By the way, Captain Wa,” Lu Mian asked nonchalantly as she was about to step out, “you wouldn’t disclose a team member’s information casually, right?”

Wa Zhiqi chuckled, “Of course not!”

Looking up, he saw Lu Mian seemingly breathe a sigh of relief and understood even more.

Lu Mian must want to sneak over and give Master Mo a surprise.

Kids will be kids!

At this moment, Xiao Qimo’s plane had landed in Shencheng, a bustling metropolis in the south.

The temperature was much higher than in Jinjing, and the air was more humid, making Xiao Qimo, who just got off the plane, adjust his somewhat suffocating tie.

There were already people waiting for him at the airport.

Xiao Qimo, standing out from the crowd, pushed his luggage with a composed gait through the throng.

Only when he walked outside did he find a solemn-faced subordinateaEUR”Mo FanaEUR”in the outer layer of the welcoming party.

Wearing sunglasses and dressed in cold black, Mo Fan bowed and greeted, “Master Mo,” taking the initiative to take over Xiao Qimo’s suitcase and leading him toward the parking lot.

Xiao Qimo draped his suit jacket over his right arm while walking, rolling up his shirt sleeves.

“What, you don’t speak when you see me?”

Mo Fan lowered his eyes, “Master Mo, the airport is crowded and full of prying eyes.”

Xiao Qimo: …

Mo Fan was responsible for carrying out covert operations as Mo Ying.

Perhaps it was because he was an assassin, he was highly sensitive and suspicious, with a cold and aloof personality, which was vastly different from the talkative and caring Mo Si, the thorough and meticulous Mo Nickel, and the straightforward and unyielding Mo Nie.

The latter three were all Mo Ying members who carried out missions openly, while Mo Fan was someone who lived in the dark.

This time, when investigating the missing case, his involvement was indispensable.

“Go to this address.”

Xiao Qimo naturally wouldn’t say much, quite happy to have some peace and quiet.

After sending the address to Mo Fan, he comfortably took his seat in the car’s back.

The most significant feeling of leaving Jinjing was that he would not see that little brat for a while.

It had only been a few hours since they parted, and now he missed her unbearably.

Xiao Qimo calculated the time, she should have already landed in Wucheng by now.

Fortunately, she was returning for classes, so she likely wouldn’t cause any trouble.

The man comforted himself by thinking this as he reassured himself to complete the mission quickly and go back to see her sooner.

In the midst of boredom, he casually took out his phone and suddenly remembered that many reporters had attended yesterday’s Sufeng gaming promotion event.

With his and Lu Mian’s identity and good looks, surely the news coverage must be in a frenzy by now.

That’d be good for him, to keep some unwanted people away from Lu Mian.

Xiao Qimo immersed himself in his thoughts and casually typed into a search: Sufeng gaming promotion event.

As expected, a long list of news items appeared on the page.

The words “otherworldly beauty” almost took up half of the news.

“What otherworldly beauty, it’s clearly a divine couple,” Xiao Qimo muttered to himself and smiled as he clicked on the news post.

Mo Fan, who was driving seriously in the front row, glanced at Xiao Qimo through the rearview mirror.

The stoic-faced assassin furrowed his brow and didn’t speak, but he grew suspicious inwardly.

Why does the boss seem like a different person?

He’s talking to himself?

Divine couple?

He’s smiling?

This isn’t right!

The man sitting in the back, smiling like an idiot, could he really be the decisive and ruthless boss?

Could it actually be someone impersonating the boss?

The status and classified intelligence in the boss’s hands would be enough for many forces to risk impersonating him.

If this one is a fake, here to pry information, would it be better for him to finish him off with one blow, or should he play along with him?

Though Mo Fan was a man of few words, his mind was more active than most.

A succession of thoughts rapidly formed in his head.

When he looked in the rearview mirror again, he noticedaEUR”

The boss’s smile had frozen.

Indeed, Xiao Qimo couldn’t smile anymore.

He clicked on it hoping to see photos of him and Lu Mian together, but other than “loading failed,” he couldn’t even catch a glimpse of a strand of hair!

It wasn’t just one post that was like this, but all posts with photos were the same.

Even if he was feeling displeased inside, he now understood that the photos had been intentionally censored.

Could the little rascal have done it?

Without hesitation, he made a call to Lu Mian.

The girl on the other end took twelve seconds to answer.

Xiao Qimo asked in a deep voice, “What are you busy with, why did it take so long to answer the phone?”

The girl on the other side laughed softly, “I’m packing up my luggage.”

“You arrived?”

“Hmm…”

Xiao Qimo had questions to ask her and didn’t detect the evasion in Lu Mian’s tone, “The promotional event photos that were uploaded online yesterday, did you censor them?”

“Eh?” Lu Mian paused for a moment, “They got censored?

I didn’t know.”

“…”

Xiao Qimo understood then, it wasn’t her doing, it must have been someone else.

Whether Lu Mian lied or not, he could still tell.
