Chapter 685: Chapter 685 Miss Lu, are you very famous?

When the topic of blocking the road came up, the others were quite interested as well.

Even Captain Wang couldn’t handle it, but Lu Mian just had to show her face and it was resolved?

It was beyond belief.

Mo Fan, who stood behind Xiao Qimo, paused his gaze on his master.

Wasn’t this Master Mo’s doing?

Then hadn’t he praised the wrong person earlier?

So embarrassing.

He stepped back several times, trying hard to shrink his presence.

Lu Mian, with the posture of a boss, sat on the couch and glanced around at the inquiring eyes, speaking indifferently, “The other party must know me, as soon as they heard my name, they let me through.”

“…” Wang Xintong let out a speechless chuckle, “Miss Lu, are you that famous?

The kind of people who can block roads in Shencheng are, after all, either rich or distinguished.

This reason of yours, it’s really hard to convince anyone.”

Lu Mian frowned slightly, her phone spinning in her palm, a layer of icy sharpness veiling her eyes, “Yes, I am quite famous.”

Wang Xintong: “…”

“Alright, alright, Lu Mian is the Guardian God of Wucheng, she is indeed famous!” Wa Zhiqi hurriedly smoothed things over.

Actually, he was quite impressed.

When would he be able to experience the ease of getting things done simply by showing his face?

Lu Mian didn’t give a definite answer in the end, as she couldn’t be one hundred percent certain herself.

She stuck out the tip of her tongue sheepishly toward Xiao Qimo, and the man readily compromised.

Even though Xiao Qimo wanted to know more, he couldn’t keep asking, reining in his deep eyes, he said nothing further.

But clearly, Wang Xintong didn’t want to leave it at that.

Being part of the agency, she had a significant status here.

She devotedly helped the agency solve cases and even didn’t hesitate to use her family connections to look up information through IEG.

Here, she believed she had more authority than Lu Mian.

There were things others were afraid to say, but she had to speak out.

There were things others didn’t notice, but if she did, she had to bring them up.

“Captain Daine.” Wang Xintong suddenly stood up, “I think Miss Lu is hiding something from us.”

From the start, she felt Lu Mian was not very cooperative with the agency’s actions.

Minor issues like being lazy in gathering information were one thing, but Lu Mian’s behavior later on was incompatible with the agency, even potentially dangerous.

Wang Xintong took a deep breath.

She came to the agency to make more connections.

She wanted to achieve a great feat, stand out herself, and also gain favor from the higher-ups to promote the development of the Wang Family.

Therefore, she felt obligated to eliminate any dangerous individuals.

Daine spread his hands, “What’s the matter?”

Wang Xintong leaned forward with a smile, her eyes fiercely fixed on Lu Mian, “Miss Lu, if I may ask, when we passed the blocked road earlier, you received a gift.

What was it?”

A gift?

Xiao Qimo’s pupils constricted slightly.

The little girl received a gift?

From whom?

What was it?

Wa Zhiqi, who tended to be straightforward, murmured, “It was pink, with a bow tied on it, it could be a handkerchief or scarf from a best friend, right?

Isn’t that what those young girls like?”

Wang Xintong laughed at his simplicity, “Captain Wa, can a best friend give a gift at that time and in that situation?”

Feeling somewhat weary, Lu Mian massaged her temple, especially aware of the man’s dark, profound eyes beside her, she felt her head was getting bigger.

“This is irrelevant to the mission,” the girl said coolly.

“Since joining the agency, we all have an obligation to report all our situations.

What if it’s for exchanging intelligence or something like a listening device, wouldn’t that be detrimental to the agency?

Of course, I’m just speculating, but I still hope Miss Lu is innocent,” Wang Xintong said so.

Captain Daine turned to his side and quietly sought Xiao Qimo’s opinion.

“Mr.

Qimo, what do you think…”

Xiao Qimo certainly wanted to know what that was, but not under these circumstances.

“Lu Mian is my girlfriend, I can prove her innocence,” Xiao Qimo reached out, grasping the girl’s hand tightly: “If you suspect her, do you also suspect me?”

“Mr.

Qimo, this…” Wang Xintong naturally didn’t have the courage to suspect Xiao Qimo.

Nobody else dared to say anything either.

However, Lu Mian still had some self-awareness.

She had already felt the overwhelming depression coming from Director Qimo, and without a way out, she slowly took out that pink box in front of everyone.

She methodically untied the ribbon and gently opened it.

Xiao Qimo’s gaze flickered as he shifted his body, leaning a bit closer to Lu Mian.

Not until Lu Mian lifted the lid of the box, revealing the contents inside.

The girl said helplessly, “You can check the item as you please.”

Captain Daine walked over for a look, “Oh, so it’s just a bookmark!”

Lying quietly on the black velvet cloth was a beautifully delicate metal bookmark.

The metal gleamed with a high quality, and the hollowed-out pattern on the bookmark was also very unique.

After receiving Lu Mian’s permission, he picked it up to show everyone, “That’s all it is, what’s the big deal!”

To the others, it was no big deal, not even if there were ten or a hundred of them.

But for Xiao Qimo, this bookmark instantly set off alarm bells in his heart.

He had investigated this bookmark for a long time, never finding any trace of a manufacturer, nor could he find out who had given it to Lu Mian.

He had not expected that at this moment, Lu Mian would receive another one.

And right under his nose!

The seemingly refined man was exuding the sour scent of expired milk.

Lu Mian shifted slightly to the side, a bit guilt-ridden.

Not until someone in the meeting room called out.

“Hey, look at this bookmark, doesn’t the hollowed-out pattern look like a rose?”

“It really does!”

A group of men, their eyes nearly glued to the bookmark, looked over and over for quite a while, as if they had discovered something novel.

“Lu Mian, it’s a rose!”

Lu Mian weakly looked towards Xiao Qimo, “That…”

Xiao Qimo struggled to remind himself that he was the legitimate partner, he had to maintain that dignity.

Not angry, not angry!

Damn it, so angry!

“Director Qimo, this is just a decoration…” Lu Mian’s explanation seemed pale.

The group of men finally came to their senses, stealing sheepish glances at Xiao Qimo.

Captain Daine quickly returned the hot potato of a bookmark to Lu Mian.

“I need to go interrogate the mercenaries, I’ll take my leave first.”

The others also made excuses to leave one by one.

Wang Zhiqi also hurried out the door with Wang Xintong.

Even Mo Fan had slipped out of the room without anyone noticing when.

In the meeting room, only Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo were left.
