The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 680 - Chapter 680 Chapter 680 Humble Love

Chapter 680: Chapter 680 Humble Love Chapter 680: Chapter 680 Humble Love Liang Hua’s ears were blasted by this icy, biting voice, sending a shudder through him as he hastily stepped out to meet the newcomer.

“Mr.

Qimo!” Liang Hua greeted, bowing his head.

.cO

The other few people in the kitchen also hurriedly exchanged greetings in a fluster.

Xiao Qimo stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Liang Hua before finally resting on Lu Mian.

His originally cold eyes instantly softened, warmth overflowing from them.

“Mianmian, who is the blind one daring to let you cook?”

Liang Hua quickly looked up, “Mr.

Qimo, you’ve misunderstood, I-I asked her to cook for you…

”

“Cook for me?” Xiao Qimo scoffed, “Even I can’t bear to have her cook, who the hell are you to decide?”

Liang Hua: …

Xiao Qimo’s eyes narrowed slightly as he lifted his hand to take Lu Mian’s small hand, explaining, “Mianmian, don’t listen to him, you don’t have to do a thing!”

This man was so protective of his wife that he wouldn’t even let himself off the hook.

The corners of Lu Mian’s lips trembled slightly.

A layer of cold sweat formed on Liang Hua’s back.

It was now clear who stood where in their relationshipaEUR”the one deeply in love appeared to be Mr.

Qimo.

“But if Lu Mian doesn’t cook, she can’t just sit around doing nothing, can she…

”

Liang Hua wanted to say more, but Wa Zhiqi, who had followed closely behind, quickly rushed over, “Director Liang, you better not say anything!

Miss Lu Mian isn’t idle; she’s the Guardian God of Wucheng.

I’m actually pleading with her to go on a mission with me!”

“What?

She’s the Guardian God of Wucheng?” Liang Hua knew about this; Team Wa had mentioned it to him many times before, and just hearing about those deeds made him think she was a talent.

But that person was Lu Mian?

Wa Zhiqi chuckled sheepishly, “Yes, absolutely true.

I just received the news myself.”

Liang Hua’s gaze flickered, and his expression turned complex as he looked towards Lu Mian.

Being proven wrong came as swiftly as a tornado.

Lu Mian paid them no mind, instead fishing a few crumpled pieces of paper from her pocket and handing them to the chef.

The chef accepted them with trembling hands.

“These are the recipes I’ve written, which include a few dishes that Mr.

Qimo enjoys.

Just follow these, and you’ll be fine.”

The chef opened the recipes and glanced through them.

Each detail was precise, down to what to do every minute and second, and how to control the heat for each step.

No wonder they couldn’t recreate the same flavor with the meat Lu Mian had left overaEUR”all the details mattered.

“Miss Lu, can we make these dishes for others too?”

Lu Mian nodded, “Yes.”

The assisting cooks almost whooped with excitement; they were in for a treat!

Having sorted out Xiao Qimo’s dietary issues, Lu Mian walked ahead, leading the way out of the kitchen.

Xiao Qimo followed behind her, wearing a look of utter satisfaction.

“Mianmian, you are so kind to me.”

He was touched that she had written so many recipes; it must have been a lot of work.

Liang Hua followed behind them, feeling dejected: Is this what counts as being kind?

Wouldn’t it be better if she just cooked herself?

Mr.

Qimo’s demands seemed too low.

Wa Zhiqi reminded Liang Hua, “Director Liang, now that Miss Lu Mian’s status is clear, we probably don’t need the rest of the rigorous assessment, do we?”

Liang Hua glanced at Xiao Qimo’s expression and waved his hand, “No need, no need.

As long as she wishes, she can join your operations.”

Wa Zhiqi nodded in satisfaction and then implored, “Great Ancestor, the team needs you!”

Lu Mian: If I had known that I could swing it with the Guardian God status, I wouldn’t have bothered cooking last night!

Presidential Office Building.

The drowsy Sikong Jian jolted awake upon receiving a fax from the Shencheng Office.

Dealing with these documents at a set time every day was one of the tasks assigned to him by the president.

He casually flipped through the registration form from the office until the name “Lu Mian” startled him fully awake.

In the list of names, he spotted those two characters immediately.

Following her name, there were also the words “Wucheng Guardian God.”

This was sent by Liang Hua, and after his screening of the information, he passed it on to the president.

“Lu MianaEUR|” Sikong Jian’s gaze could no longer move away from those two characters.

She really went!

She went to such a dangerous place!

If he remembered correctly, Xiao Qimo was also at the Shencheng Office.

The two of them investigating the “Lost Case” and “Kidnapping Case” together was rather thought-provokingaEUR|

Sikong Jian clenched the freshly printed document, still warm to the touch, with an unresolvable gloom lurking in his narrowed eyes.

He fell silent for a moment, then picked up the phone on his desk and dialed an internal number.

“Mr.

President, I request to go to the Shencheng Office for an inspection.”

—

The office held a separate meeting centered around the actions to protect the witness.

This time, Lu Mian attended the meeting as an official team member, and she also proposed some constructive plans that impressed many.

In just one day, the office’s perception of her had greatly improved.

Lu Mian was not just a pretty face, but the extent of her abilities was still not fully clear to everyone.

It was a pity she wasn’t participating in the key assessments or they would have really liked to know what level her various skills were at.

Daine didn’t understand the concept of the “Wucheng Guardian God,” and his impression of Lu Mian hinged mostly on the labels “good at cooking” and “Xiao Qimo’s girlfriend.”

What aggravated him was that he discovered ever since Lu Mian arrived at the office, Mr.

Qimo seemed less focused on solving cases.

Not only had he become much lazier, but he also often spaced out.

In previous video conferences with Xiao Qimo, they had experienced how much of a “romance brain” he could become, which is why he had emphasized that one must never let Xiao Qimo bring family members on a mission, as it greatly affected progress.

Like now, while still in a meeting, Mr.

Qimo’s eyes were constantly glued to Lu Mian, nowhere near the workaholic who rushed to meet deadlines just a few days prior!

Daine coughed lightly a few times, attempting to draw Xiao Qimo’s attention back.

Don’t you ever tire of looking at the same face, what about looking at me for a change?

Wouldn’t that be nice?

As expected, he failed.

Oh, this esteemed Miss Lu Mian, when exactly will you go back to school?

“Everyone, what do you think about the plan I just proposed?” After Lu Mian finished speaking, she asked a question.

The crowd had no overall objections, and details could be discussed later.

Xiao Qimo, however, was somewhat dissatisfied, “Why do I have to stay at the office?”

His wife was out charging into battle, and yet he was left behind with nothing to do.

He found eating this batch of soft rice distinctly unsatisfying.

Lu Mian had her own thoughts, “You’re the commander-in-chief, and the office’s network security is also very important.

You need to help keep an eye on it.”

At the mention of network security, Sun Hui’s panda eyes suddenly lit up.

“Mr.

Qimo, is it you?” he asked excitedly, almost pouncing on Xiao Qimo, “Are you Number Thirteen?”

Xiao Qimo felt it was rather abrupt and casually evaded Sun Hui, responding indifferently, “I’m not.”

“Then do you know who Number Thirteen is?”

Xiao Qimo just offered him a calm smile.

“aEUR|Do you all think I’m crazy?

Number Thirteen is really among us.

We must find him quickly!

If the criminal finds out Number Thirteen’s identity before we do, Number Thirteen will be in danger!”

While Sun Hui was getting worked up, Daine just received an email from headquarters.

“I’ve got news about Number Thirteen!”
