Chapter 673 - Chapter 673 Chapter 673 Speaking Her Name Is a Blessing

Chapter 673: Chapter 673: Speaking Her Name Is a Blessing Chapter 673: Chapter 673: Speaking Her Name Is a Blessing The team members on both sides didn’t dare to raise their heads to look at him.

Daine, through persuasion both gentle and forceful, finally managed to coax Xiao Qimo into the restaurant.

The refined man took off his suit jacket, tossed it casually to Mo Fan, and as he rolled up his shirt sleeves, he also took a seat at the head of the dining table.

There are some people who are born kings, born to be the center of attention.

No one felt it was out of place for him to sit at the head of the table; in fact, they found it quite fitting.

Even Captain Daine of the international criminal police didn’t feel the slightest bit awkward, his face beaming with a smile as he sat by his side.

“Mr.

Qimo, Director Liang said they’ve got a new chef this time, you could give it a try,”

“…”

But clearly, Xiao Qimo wasn’t looking forward to the late-night meal, sitting in the restaurant without any intention of eating.

For him, it was just a change of location for the meeting.

Xiao Qimo knocked on the table, “Get everyone over here.”

“Mr.

Qimo, why don’t you have some supper firstaEUR|” Daine urged.

Mainly because he was also hungry.

Having known all along about the supreme cuisine of Z Country, he had managed to stay here for a couple of days and was already craving Z Country’s dishes.

The refined man’s beautiful knuckles tapped the table again.

Daine got the message and hurriedly called out.

“Quick, quick, quick, let everyone come in to report on their work,” Daine said in his not so fluent Chinese, silently grumbling to himself.

Though the case was extremely important and urgent, there was no need for the bigwig to be so impatient.

Investigation was important, but so was one’s health.

What was he in such a rush for?

No one would dare go against Xiao Qimo’s wishes, with Ke Weimin leading, one after another walked in.

At this point, Ke Weimin, Wa Zhiqi, and the others were far from sleepy; they were all spirited and their eyes were wide open like bells.

Ke Weimin signaled everyone to report in turn, and team members responsible for different areas began to meticulously describe the developments of the past two days.

Soon it was Sun Hui’s turn, who by now had put his cap back on.

“Mr.

Qimo, the biggest thing on my end tonight is that someone tried to break into the system.

But…” he paused, his voice trembling with excitement, “but Thirteen took care of it!

I even talked to Thirteen!”

He looked as if he were possessed by some exaggeration.

“Thirteen?!” Upon hearing these words, Daine reacted instinctively, “You found him?

Who is he?

Where is he?!”

“Thirteen is at…” Before Sun Hui could continue, Wa Zhiqi covered his mouth abruptly, “Mr.

Qimo, Captain Daine, he’s kind of gone crazy.

The pressure has been too much these past days; Old Sun needs to rest.”

Thirteen…

Xiao Qimo furrowed his brows, his eyes darkening a shade.

Without a doubt, he must be thinking of someone.

Just thinking of a certain brat lessened the cold pressure around him significantly, and his facial features softened along with it.

There is a kind of affection called “even mentioning her name is a kind of happiness.”

“Team leader Wa, don’t cover my mouth, what I’m saying is true…”

“Old Sun, don’t report things without evidence!” Wa Zhiqi worried that Sun Hui’s words would cause everyone to get their hopes up for nothing.

If the higher-ups blamed them, Old Sun would definitely be implicated.

Sun Hui looked aggrieved, turning his pleading eyes towards Xiao Qimo.

Xiao Qimo waved his hand, “Let him go back and rest well.”

Sun Hui: Even the wise and valiant Mr.

Qimo doesn’t believe him?

Of course, Xiao Qimo wouldn’t believe it; their little rascal was obediently attending classes in Wucheng.

He looked at his wristwatch; it was now four in the morning, probably that girl was still in her dreams.

However, he didn’t rule out someone impersonating Thirteen.

Sun Hui was escorted out with arms pinned down, forcibly made to bow his head and go back to his room to sleep.

Meanwhile, the late-night snacks prepared in the kitchen were carefully placed on a food cart and wheeled over.

The warmth and aroma that hit their faces instantly made everyone present feel ravenous.

To release poison at four in the morning, how wicked!

Arranged neatly on the food cart were six bowls of steaming hot wonton soup, each bowl garnished with a few delicate slices of green onion, instantly enhancing the flavor.

Next to them were several plates of Chinese-style pickled vegetables.

Though they were just pickles, their appearance and taste could make someone feel like they wanted to swallow their own tongue.

The rest were two dishes of quickly stir-fried fresh vegetables.

Even though these weren’t any special dishes, just very common and home-style, at that moment, they unexpectedly whetted appetites.

A room full of people stared intently at the food on the cart.

Never had there been a moment when wonton soup could smell so good.

Could they also have a little bit…?

From the moment the food cart was pushed in, Daine’s eyes were fixed on the wonton soup, not blinking as he watched the servant serve them and took a deep breath.

Momma mia, just the smell was intoxicating.

“Mr.

Qimo, please eat first, eat and then report,” Daine urged, unable to wait.

The thing is, Xiao Qimo hadn’t planned on eating at all, he really wasn’t in the mood and just wanted to finish up here as soon as possible to go back and hold his wife.

But smelling this scent, he suddenly felt a familiar feeling.

He pursed his lips and didn’t decline, signaling with his other hand for Mo Fan to sit down and eat together.

Mo Fan sat down expressionlessly.

Dammit, he was starving to death.

He finally got to eat.

Daine passed a soup spoon to Xiao Qimo who took it and at a leisurely pace, scooped the soup.

He remembered now, this familiar feeling was from MM Ji Restaurant.

To be even more certain of this thought, Xiao Qimo quickly ate one.

The familiar, rich flavor spread throughout his mouth; the wonton’s freshness, fragrance, smoothness, and tenderness were all conveyed perfectly.

That’s right, this was definitely MM Ji’s style.

After eating at the restaurant for so long, he was all too familiar with this feeling.

Xiao Qimo held the soup spoon, clearly in a much better mood, and ate several more in succession.

He asked the people around him, “Is there an MM Ji in Shencheng?”

“MM Ji?” Ke Weimin was puzzled.

Wa Zhiqi shook his head, “As far as I know, there shouldn’t be one.

Nationwide, only Wucheng has one branch, and now many people go to Wucheng, MM Ji is a must-visit restaurant.”

Xiao Qimo frowned, if it wasn’t MM Ji Restaurant, why was the taste so familiar?

Could it be because he missed Lu Mian so much?

Xiao Qimo buried this longing deep in his heart and looked up again, elegantly sipping his soup before saying, “Continue with the report.”

Seeing his mood gradually improving, Wa Zhiqi couldn’t help but feel cheerful.

Indeed, nobody knew Qimo’s taste better than Lu Mian.

This meal was definitely prepared by Lu Mian.

If Mr.

Mo knew his girlfriend was here, who knows how surprised he would be.

He might even start to treat him differently haha…

As Wa Zhiqi was thinking this, someone nudged him, “Captain Wa, it’s your turn to report.”

“Ah, right.” Wa Zhiqi quickly straightened up, “This time we checked the detailed information of five crime scenes at the IEG’s Shencheng Branch.”

IEG…

Xiao Qimo paused for a moment.

Wa Zhiqi succinctly went through the situation and finally added, “Fortunately, the command of Second Team was involved, and that’s how we managed to find so much.”

Xiao Qimo put down his soup spoon, his aura subtly heavy, “The commander of the Second Team?”
