Chapter 683 - Chapter 683 Chapter 683 Tough Fight, Let's All Go at Once

Chapter 683: Chapter 683: Tough Fight, Let’s All Go at Once Chapter 683: Chapter 683: Tough Fight, Let’s All Go at Once Lu Mian didn’t speak and just sat steadily in her seat.

Wang Xintong shook her head and suggested, “Wa Squad, we should still contact Captain DaineaEUR””

Before she could finish, Lu Mian indifferently said to the driver, “Keep driving.”

Wang Xintong’s following words stuck in her throat, and she swallowed them back.

Wa Zhiqi was instantly excited, “Little ancestor, how did you do it?”

Lu Mian “hmmed” and tilted her head to think, “Probably just face recognition.”

Wa Zhiqi: “Awesome!”

Wang Xintong: …

The car slowly started and continued towards the sealed road.

Mo Fan, following right behind Lu Mian’s car, understood the situation upon seeing this and calmly said to the person on the other end of the line, “Sir, the problem has been resolved.”

“How was it resolved?” Xiao Qimo was slightly puzzled.

Mo Fan paused, How was it resolved?

Don’t you have any idea yourself?

Isn’t it because you spoke to the higher-ups?

It seems Mo Sir wants to hear some pleasant words.

He’s not the same as Mo Fan or Mo Nie; he isn’t one to flatter, but since Mo Sir had hinted, for the sake of survival, to gain favor, he had no choice but to comply.

“Mo Sir, you’re really powerful.” When you’re in the world of Jianghu, that’s just how it isaEUR”you don’t control your own body or words, alas…

Xiao Qimo: ???

What did I do to be powerful?

So, how exactly was it resolved?!

—

Lu Mian’s car arrived at the crossroads, where the person in charge stopped her briefly.

The person’s attitude towards Lu Mian took an immediate one-eighty, and they respectfully knocked on the car window.

“Miss Lu, this is for you.”

The person in charge handed a flat, but exquisitely crafted box to Lu Mian with both hands.

Everyone in the car cast curious, inquisitive glances at Lu Mian.

Lu Mian, however, showed little surprise and didn’t ask who sent the gift; after receiving the box, she quickly stashed it in her black backpack.

The others craned their necks, eager to see, but couldn’t catch a glimpse of what was inside the box.

Wa Zhiqi was somewhat puzzled.

A pink box with a bowaEUR”could it be a little gift from a close girlfriend of Lu Mian?

—

The car normally entered the sealed road.

The vast, clean road was exclusively occupied by their car and Mo Fan’s, drawing curious and envious glances from other drivers.

But this escort journey was destined not to be peaceful.

Continuing along the main road, the cars were forced to a halt when they reached a desolate area.

Apparently, a tire had been punctured and was leaking air.

As the captain of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, Wa Zhiqi had some sharpness for these situations.

“Nobody get out of the car just yet; they might be lying in ambush around us.”

While Wa Zhiqi was saying this, a black cloth appeared from nowhere, enveloping their car completely.

Inside the car, it became pitch black in an instant.

By then, everyone understood that their opponent had come knocking.

The atmosphere in the car instantly tightened to the point of suffocation.

The driver, fingers trembling slightly, turned on the interior lights of the car.

There were a total of seven people in the business van.

Except for Lu Mian and Hua Ying, the faces of the others were more or less covered in a layer of cold sweat.

Especially Wang Xintong, who was nearly cursing Lu Mian in her heart.

If it weren’t for Lu Mian taking the witness into their car, they wouldn’t be in so much trouble!

Was Lu Mian deliberately sending them to their doom?

“Captain Wa, what do we do now?

Should we get out or stay in the car?”

If they got out, who was outside and what kind of ambush was set up, they weren’t sure.

Without getting out of the car, they couldn’t leave this place.

“Let’s face them head-on, our strength isn’t inferior!”

Wa Zhiqi raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to stay quiet and looked toward Lu Mian with sincerity and anticipation, seeking her advice.

He thought to himself that a boss was indeed a boss, her mental toughness was truly awesome, maintaining composure from start to finish.

Then, in the deathly silence, all anyone could hear was the Tetris block clearing sound effects and the triumphant music of winning a game at the end.

Everyone: Lu Mian was actually in the mood to play games?!

Hua Ying’s eyes were wide open; she didn’t feel too scared and leaned closer to Lu Mian, even trying to hook her arm around Lu Mian’s.

Lu Mian won another round of the game and, taking the moment she stood up, she avoided Hua Ying’s attempt to get closer.

“Little ancestor, what are your thoughts?” asked Wa Zhiqi.

Lu Mian, bending over, moved her wrists left and right, “You all stay here and don’t move; I’m going out to talk to them.”

“By yourself?

That’s not okay, Mo would kill me if he found out!”

“There’s no way you, a girl, should be in the front.

No way, absolutely not!”

There was unanimous opposition, but Lu Mian was the first to pull the car door open and lightly jumped out, “Bang”aEUR”the car door closed again heavily.

Everyone: …

Lu Mian left the car alone, not expecting there to be someone else standing outside.

This person has crossed her path a few times, an underling who always followed Director Qimo.

Mo Fan stood like a god of death, emotionless and still, and upon seeing Lu Mian come out, he spoke in a cold tone, “Miss Lu, please get back in the car immediately, leave this to your subordinate.”

Hmm?

Lu Mian narrowed her eyes, instantly displeased.

“Did Director Qimo send you?”

“Yes.”

Lu Mian disagreed, “That’s not appropriate.”

This was clearly her kill; it didn’t make sense to let someone else reap the benefits.

She hadn’t seen action in so long, she was practically suffocating.

“…” Mo Fan found these types of people the most troublesome.

Just like in some silly TV dramas, when it’s a critical moment and your teammates tell you to go, you’d better go quickly, don’t stand around pretending to be all noble and inseparable, which only wastes time and holds everyone else back.

“Miss Lu…”

Lu Mian had no patience for his nonsense, she waved her hand dismissively, “Stand behind me, don’t get stained by the blood.”

???

Mo Fan felt that this statement was even more damaging to his pride than Mo’s “Do you think you can beat me?”

But Lu Mian didn’t give him a chance to resist, she unzipped her down jacket, and tossed it casually to the ground.

She was wearing only a white, form-fitting sweater inside, plus tight black pants that perfectly outlined her figure.

She methodically performed some warm-up exercises, her long and straight legs moving with ease, the girl with the mischievously wicked smile spoke up towards the desolate surroundings.

“Come at me together, let’s not waste each other’s time.”

In that moment of Mo Fan’s expressionless face cracking, he caught a glimpse of a bloodthirsty glint in Lu Mian’s eyes.

He was taken aback.

This girl, the aura of ferocity and death she emanated, was stronger than that of an assassin like him who had faced countless life and death situations!

Bad news, was he about to have his kill stolen?!

Inside the car.

Following Lu Mian’s greeting, Wa Zhiqi’s jaw dropped to the floor.

This…this was Lu Mian’s idea of “a talk”?

Wasn’t this an outright provocation?

But they were hidden behind black cloth and couldn’t see what was happening outside; what if something happened to Lu Mian…

Wa Zhiqi didn’t dare to think further but only heard the shuffling of a lot more footsteps outside.

He counted carefully, certainly more than twenty people!

They were done for, no matter how strong Lu Mian was, one person couldn’t handle over twenty assassins, could she?!
