The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 663 - Chapter 663 Chapter 663 To be honest, I'm here to make trouble

Chapter 663: Chapter 663: To be honest, I’m here to make trouble Chapter 663: Chapter 663: To be honest, I’m here to make trouble Liang Hua wasn’t against the idea of newcomers; in fact, he was quite welcoming of capable and strong individuals joining the team.

However, from the monitor, that young girl seemed out of place no matter how he looked at her.

“Captain Wang, didn’t you say you were going to find out about the whereabouts of the ‘Guardian God’?

Don’t tell me, this young lady is that chivalrous person you were talking about who protects the city.”

Liang Hua’s words were clearly poking fun at Wa Zhiqi, not to be taken seriously.

Wa Zhiqi chuckled sheepishly, “Director Liang, you jest.

She’s not some ‘Guardian God’, I decided on the spot to bring her over.”

Liang Hua spread his hands, clearly expecting a reasonable explanation.

Wa Zhiqi took out the completed test that he had pocketed in advance, “This girl has a good memory.

She only looked at the basic manual for ten minutes and still scored full marks.”

“Full marks?” Liang Hua took the crumpled and tattered-looking paper, “Are you joking?

Unless she memorized the entire basic manual, how could she possibly score full marks?”

“But she did it.

I thought her memory was good, so I brought her here.

She might prove useful.” Wa Zhiqi dared not say that Lu Mian was here to find Xiao Qimo; he feared that if Liang Hua heard about it, he might have a heart attack.

Fortunately, with this test paper, the girl wasn’t completely useless, and he could vouch for her somewhat.

Harboring a skeptical attitude, Liang Hua took out an answer sheet from his desk and meticulously compared it with the test.

As he reached the end, his brows furrowed, “The score is indeed goodaEUR|”

The tone shifted.

“But this doesn’t mean she can just join us.

The president is especially hoping that we can solve the case first, so I need to be responsible for finding the most top-notch talent.

Mediocre ones, I do not want.”

“Yes, you’re right.”

“So what is she good at?”

“She says she’s good with computers.”

Upon hearing this, Liang Hua, carrying the air of a director, waved his hand dismissively, “In the area of computers, we have Number Thirteen as a paragon; everyone else is just ornamentation.

Besides, the office has already accepted two computer experts, and I am not planning to hire anymore.”

“But this test paper…”

“How about this: we still have two days until the key assessment.

After those people arrive, let them all take the test together.

For these two days, just assign her to logistics.”

“Put her in logistics?” Wa Zhiqi smiled bitterly, Lu Mian didn’t seem cut out for logistics at all.

“Is there a problem?

If she doesn’t want to do it, she can leave.”

Liang Hua’s implication was clear, and Wa Zhiqi knew there was no use arguing, so he nodded.

He thought to himself that anyway, Lu Mian came to find Master Mo, not to work on a caseaEUR”her status probably didn’t matter to her.

“Alright, I’ll go and talk to Lu Mian.

Director Liang, please continue with your work.”

“Uh-huh.”

Wa Zhiqi took a step to leave, then remembered something, “Oh, Director Liang, I didn’t see Mr.

Qimo when I came back.”

Outside, Wa Zhiqi had always followed Xiao Qimo’s rules, addressing him as Mr.

Qimo.

After all, the surname Xiao was too eye-catching; mentioning it would make people speculate.

“Mr.

Qimo came yesterday and went out with Captain Daine to survey the missing case scene.

The scene is split across different locations, so it will probably take a couple of days to return.”

“I see…”

Speaking of Xiao Qimo, Liang Hua’s demeanor grew even more respectful, “By the way, does this Lu Mian that you brought this time know how to cook?”

“I’m not sure, I’ll ask her.”

“Do that.

Mr.

Qimo isn’t used to the food here; he didn’t look too well yesterday.

He has contributed a lot to this case, and if he can’t even enjoy a good meal, I would feel very sorry.”

“Yes.”

Wa Zhiqi was well aware of this, knowing that before Mr.

Mo had joined the international police, he had declined many offers simply because he couldn’t eat or sleep well.

The man was a refined big shot, not like the rest of them, rough and tumble guys.

aEUR”aEUR”

Lu Mian was placed in a simple small room, where she made a habit of scanning every inch habitually.

No issues, she could move in.

It was only then that she put her backpack down off her shoulder and took out her phone.

I had intended to send Ya Ling and Sui Yuan a message that everything was okay, but I discovered that my phone had no signal at all, and even my digital wristwatch was reduced to a mere timepiece within the manor.

Lu Mian understood their approach and was not in a hurry to restore the device signal; instead, she simply organized her backpack.

When she rolled up her sleeves, a small protrusion, smaller than a pimple, became visible on her slender arm.

Her gaze grew heavy.

Meanwhile, a series of knocks sounded from outside the door, accompanied by Wa Zhiqi’s voice.

“Miss Lu!”

Lu Mian lowered her sleeves and said coolly, “Come in.”

“Miss Lu…”

Wa Zhiqi walked in, rubbing his hands and seeming somewhat reluctant to look directly at Lu Mian.

Although this girl was young, she had probably spent so much time with Qimo that she had naturally developed a strong, indifferent presence.

He had lived for almost thirty years and had met countless people, yet he had never encountered a girl like Lu Mian.

Rebellious, haughty, and aloof.

“You can call me by my name; we’re teammates now.” Lu Mian folded a cotton T-shirt with ease, not even lifting her head.

“Okay…” Wa Zhiqi gave an awkward smile, “Lu Mian, Director Liang said you should stay at the logistics department for now.

The time for the key assessment hasn’t been set yet.

We’ll let you know once it’s decided.”

Lu Mian paused in her movements.

“…What exactly does logistics entail?”

“It means helping out wherever needed.”

Lu Mian’s lips thinned in dissatisfaction with this arrangement.

She had to be close to the case; just handling logistics wouldn’t do.

“Anyway, they will arrange an exam for you, so please bear with it for the next few days.”

Wa Zhiqi’s sincerity was evident, and all Lu Mian could do was agree, nodding her head coolly, albeit reluctantly.

Wa Zhiqi breathed a sigh of relief, “By the way, can you cook?”

“A bit.”

“How does it taste?”

“Decent…”

Wa Zhiqi gave her a thumbs up, “That’s great, worthy of being Qimo’s girlfriend!”

The food made by Lu Mian should indeed suit Qimo’s taste.

Three question marks slowly appeared on Lu Mian’s forehead.

What did this have to do with Director Qimo?

Wa Zhiqi didn’t say much more but handed over a new set of communication devices to Lu Mian, teaching her how to use them and what to pay attention to before considering the matter settled.

As the two were exchanging their new phone numbers, Lu Mian’s new phone received a message from the office.

[Please, all team members proceed to the council chamber for a meeting.]

Wa Zhiqi put away his phone, “I’m off to the meeting; you get settled first.”

This meeting was clearly not for the logistics department to attend.

Lu Mian’s brows furrowed slightly, “Okay.”

Wa Zhiqi, not completely reassured about her, gave a few more words of caution before leaving: “Lu Mian, don’t stir up trouble when you get to the office, and don’t go around pricking people with needles.

Anyone you pick here could be a big shot; you need to learn to protect yourself!”

“…”

Lu Mian bent down and continued folding clothes, as if turning a deaf ear.

Truth be told, she was here to stir things up.
