The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 679 - Chapter 679 Chapter 679 The Good Cycle of Heaven's Way

Chapter 679: Chapter 679: The Good Cycle of Heaven’s Way Chapter 679: Chapter 679: The Good Cycle of Heaven’s Way After dialing the numbers one by one, Wa Zhiqi held the landline receiver, his heart pounding as if a little deer was rampaging inside.

He didn’t know what kind of temper the Guardian God had or whether they would agree to his request.

He had been assigned to pick up a witness and bring them back to the office, a task of the utmost importance that allowed no room for error.

If they were intercepted by a gang of thugs on the way, he had no absolute certainty that he could make it out unscathed.

But with someone as skilled and capable as the Wucheng Guardian God around, his confidence grew exponentially.

“Beep…”

After a series of rings, Wa Zhiqi finally heard the other end pick up.

“Hello?”

The cool and distant female voice sounded somewhat familiar, causing Wa Zhiqi to pause and speak uncertainly, “H-hello?”

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

“Wa Team?”

Wa Zhiqi suddenly realized, “Lu Mian?”

He looked at the phone receiver and asked in a weird tone, “Why is it you?”

Could he have dialed the wrong number?

“Wa Team, have you agreed to let me join you in picking up the witness?” Lu Mian’s relaxed voice came from the other side.

Wa Zhiqi was completely baffled and instinctively denied, “Of course not!

It’s dangerous out there.

If you’re really bored, you might as well go to the kitchen and help us cook something nice, that would be helping us.”

Lu Mian sighed in slight annoyance.

Wa Zhiqi was confused, a puzzled look on his face.

“All right, all right, I won’t talk to you anymore.

I need to hurry and find the Wucheng Guardian God…

What’s with this phone, is there a crossed line, did Old Sun mess with the phone lines again…”

He muttered to himself as he abruptly hung up.

Lu Mian on the other end watched her phone silently.

Uh…

It turns out the person looking for her in Wucheng was Wa Team.

She pursed her lips nonchalantly and pocketed her phone.

—

Wa Zhiqi looked at the number written on the card, wondering if his subordinate had misread it earlier.

He quickly redialed his subordinate and double-checked the number, only to find it was correct.

Still unconvinced, Wa Zhiqi dialed again.

But this time, there was no answer.

Wa Zhiqi was so anxious that a thin sweat broke out on his forehead as he stamped his feet, but then he heardaEUR”

BuzzaEUR”

BuzzaEUR”

The vibrating sound of a phone, as if very close by, started to emanate from his side.

He turned his head and saw Lu Mian sitting nonchalantly on the arm of the sofa with her hands in her pockets, giving him an amused look.

The vibrating continued.

Something in Wa Zhiqi’s head suddenly exploded, and the answer seemed imminent.

He slammed the phone down to hang up.

The vibration in Lu Mian’s pocket also stopped.

With his mouth agape, Wa Zhiqi was silent for a long while.

As Lu Mian nonchalantly got up to leave, he threw himself at her in desperation.

“Little!

Ancestor!”

Lu Mian glanced at the hanger on her leg with disdain.

“You’re the Wucheng Guardian God?

How could it be you?

How could it be…”

Wa Zhiqi couldn’t believe that the person he’d been searching for all this time was right beside him.

The phone number was correct; it was Lu Mian’s phone.

And he also realizedaEUR”the phone number belonged to their office.

The Wucheng Guardian God was Lu Mian!

Lu Mian, in her languid manner, pulled away her leg and headed towards the kitchen.

Wa Zhiqi followed closely behind.

“Lu Mian, little ancestor, is it really you who is the Guardian God of Wucheng?”

His tone had completely changed, as ingratiating as could be.

Lu Mian replied indifferently, “This is hardly a secret at Kunpeng High School.”

Those words almost made Wa Zhiqi spit out a mouthful of blood.

He had gone to such lengths to curry favor and speak kindly, and Lu Mian was telling him that so many people knew about it?!

“Then why didn’t you tell me earlieraEUR|” he lamented pitifully.

If he had known sooner, he wouldn’t have put in so much effort.

“Heh.”

Lu Mian glanced back at Wa Zhiqi, her slightly raised brows and eyes tinted with mischievousness, her lips curled in a smirk that wasn’t quite a smile.

A moment later, she replied lightly.

“You didn’t ask me, did you?”

“Cough cough coughaEUR|” Wa Zhiqi nearly coughed up a lung being retorted like that.

The phrasing was too familiar.

He had used the same response to Miss Lu just half an hour ago.

What goes around comes around, who has the Heavens spared!

Wa Zhiqi gave himself another fierce slap.

All because of this useless!

Mouth!

Lu Mian merely cast an indifferent glance at him and continued walking towards the kitchen with an aloof detachment.

Wa Zhiqi quickly tried to ingratiate himself again, grabbing her.

“Miss Lu Mian, it’s all my fault, I was blind!

Please don’t be angry with meaEUR|”

“I’m not,” Lu Mian smiled.

“Then may I invite you to join our team?” Wa the little white mouse, begging online.

Lu Mian looked at him coolly, “Doesn’t Team Wa prefer me to stay in the kitchen?”

Wa Zhiqi: “…”

The little ancestor was showing through her actions what it meant: I ignored your yesterday, and you’re out of my league today!

“Little ancestor, I was wrongaEUR|” He was contemplating whether to speak with Master Mo and intercede on behalf of Miss Lu.

Lu Mian took a stroll through the kitchen.

Upon seeing her, the two main chefs and four assistants were excited and quickly pulled her in.

“Miss Lu, last night we turned the minced meat you left into wontons, but they don’t seem as tasty as yours, why is that?”

“Exactly, our dumplings seem soulless compared to yours,” the chefs added with even more concern.

“The key is that the boss is still here, what on Earth are we going to do for lunch?”

“Miss Lu, I heard you’re the boss’s girlfriend, could you…”

Before the chef could finish, Liang Hua leisurely appeared at the kitchen door like a boss inspecting the premises.

Noticing Lu Mian, Liang Hua’s expression turned visibly awkward.

“ThataEUR|” Liang Hua paused, sizing up Lu Mian: “Lu Mian, since the food you cook is very much to Mr.

Qi’s taste, from now on you can take sole responsibility for his meals.”

Lu Mian frowned, “Director, have you forgotten something?”

“It’s just the key assessment; I’ve made a note of it.

.co

But since you’re Mr.

Qi’s girlfriend, taking care of your boyfriend should be expected, right?” Liang Hua waved his hand dismissively, “If you ask me, you shouldn’t even bother with any key assessment.

Satisfying your boyfriend is better than anything else!”

Liang Hua’s words carried an unmistakable taint of decrepitude.

Lu Mian’s long eyelashes drooped slightly as she spoke in a cold voice, “We are two free souls in love; there’s no should or shouldn’t, no serving or not serving.”

Liang Hua sneered disdainfully.

He didn’t take Lu Mian’s status very seriously, a girl who had traveled thousands of miles to be here clearly seemed in love to a pitiful extent.

In the office, picking anyone at random would reveal an elite, an expert, which made it all too easy for Liang Hua to look down on Lu Mian.

“With all that attitude, why are you chasing after Mr.

Qi?

To talk about equality and freedom with Mr.

Qi, you should also have the appropriate capital and strength,” Liang Hua remarked.

No sooner had Liang Hua’s voice faded than another one came from outside the door.

“Director Liang, she indeed has that strength!”
