The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 694 - Chapter 694 Chapter 693 Guardian Angel

Chapter 694: Chapter 693 Guardian Angel Chapter 694: Chapter 693 Guardian Angel Sun Hui’s eyes shone brightly as he fixed them on Lu Mian.

Lu Mian’s gaze, however, rested on the computer screen.

She tapped her fingers twice, causing the surveillance video to pause on a magnified page.

While intently watching the footage, she spoke casually.

“Oh, if you think so, then it is,” she said with supreme calmness.

To her, Number Thirteen was just an ordinary code name.

The outside world’s rumors of a “top hacker,” “programming genius,” and other such accolades seemed to have nothing to do with this identity.

Sun Hui clenched his fists, his inner voice screaming: I don’t want what I think, I want what you think!

So, is Miss Lu or isn’t she?

He had just observed her.

Her operations were skilled and professional; some techniques were even unknown to experts.

She handled them with ease and dexterity.

“Miss Lu…”

Lu Mian had no time to dwell on such insignificant questions.

She pointed to the video, signaling Sun Hui to come closer and look.

“Look at this part.

After the image was restored, there’s a flash in this frame.

Before the flash, the victim’s strand of hair exists, but after, it disappears.

For a normal person, this would be impossible,” Lu Mian analyzed the scene before swiftly concluding, “The disappearance of the hair, the flickering of the imageaEUR”it indicates that the projection signal is unstable.

I suspect that at this moment, the victim is an artificial image created by a holographic projection.”

Instantly attracted by Lu Mian’s analysis, Sun Hui’s eyes widened; he almost dove into the screen.

After watching it dozens of times back and forth, he trembled and gave her a thumbs-up.

“Miss Lu, how did you notice such a minor detail?”

He reckoned he wouldn’t find such a detail even if he searched all day!

Lu Mian smiled faintly, stood up, and offered her seat to Sun Hui, “You continue watching then.

Maybe you’ll find more details.

With this surveillance footage and the testimony of a witness, we can almost determine the direction of the investigation.”

“Indeed,” Sun Hui agreed wholeheartedly.

Lu Mian pondered briefly, so where was the real disappearance point that those people were hiding this time?

Last time, during the kidnapping case, there was an approximate location; this time, the disappearance case was like finding a needle in a haystack, the difficulty increased several times over.

Hopefully, all the victims are safe and sound at this moment.

Lu Mian, chin in hand, left with heavy thoughts.

Sun Hui suddenly remembered, “Miss Lu, you haven’t answered my question directly…”

However, Lu Mian had already walked away, and no one answered him.

Depressed, Sun Hui tapped on the keyboard.

It suddenly dawned on him.

Number Thirteen must have avoided revealing her identity because she deemed hiding it the safest approach.

Everyone involved in this case knew how much those villains wanted to kill Number Thirteen.

It must be so!

He hastily covered his mouth, looked around to make sure no one was there, and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling more secure than ever inside.

With Number Thirteen here, the cybersecurity issues of the office were not a worry at all.

However, he must keep this secret for Number Thirteen and protect her safety!

He decided then and there that he would be Number Thirteen’s Guardian Angel!

“Old Sun!

Old Sun!”

As Sun Hui was thinking this, hurried footsteps came from outside.

Daine, gasping for air, clung to the doorframe.

After taking a few deep breaths of oxygen, he called out excitedly and eagerly, “There’s news from headquarters again!

News about Number Thirteen!”

Unlike before, Angel Sun was very composed this time.

Daine approached with his phone, surprised by Sun Hui’s calmness, “Old Sun?”

“Oh,” Sun Hui answered, his attention fixed on the screen, ignoring him.

“Brother Sun?” Daine gave an awkward smile and even poked Sun Hui’s elbow, “The colleagues at headquarters cracked another layer of the password, heh heh heh…”

Daine explained dryly, “You were right; Number Thirteen is in the office.”

Sun Hui was even colder in his response, “Oh.”

He had known this all along.

However, had Captain Daine forgotten something?

Daine himself had not expected that after the international police force spent so much effort and had a global reward for Number Thirteen’s whereabouts and information, she would actually be right here in this office.

The five-hundred-million bounty just lost its appeal in an instant.

Unfortunately, the wanted notice had already been issued, and some people in the know had sent them emails, so the five hundred million was ultimately out of reach.

If only they had known Number Thirteen was here, maybe that money sponsored by IEG could have gone into the International Police’s pockets…

By then, they could buy as many boxes of spicy strips as they wanted!

“Is there anything else, Captain Daine?” Sun Hui clacked away at the keyboard, each finger carrying the aloofness of an elder, “If not, please don’t delay me from studying the high-definition surveillance of Number Thirteen’s repairs.”

“What?” Daine was even more surprised, “Number Thirteen repaired the surveillance?”

Sun Hui humphed lightly, “I’ve said before, she’s at the office.

No one believes it though…”

“It’s not that…” Daine was extremely curious, “So who exactly is she?”

Sun Hui refused to tell, to protect the safety of Number Thirteen it was best the fewer people knew, the better.

Daine: “Dad?”

Sun Hui: …

“Grandpa?”

All the way, Lu Mian was deep in thought, the phone in her hand spinning fast, always on the verge of being flung out.

But no matter how many times it spun, the phone remained steady in her palm.

When she returned to her room, she saw people going back and forth in the hallway moving things, and even saw someone carrying clothes that Sikong Jian had worn.

Lu Mian stopped someone questioningly, “What’s going on?”

“Miss Lu, Mr.

Sikong changed rooms, we’re helping him move his luggage.”

“Which room did he switch to?” Lu Mian’s forehead pulsed.

“Right there, next to yours, very close.”

The words “very close” struck Lu Mian like a bolt from the blue!

Yesterday, Director Qi insisted on staying in her room and didn’t leave all night.

Today, Sikong Jian moved next to her, his intentions clear as day.

This made her already restricted freedom even more unbearable.

Lu Mian no longer had the heart to go back to her room and trudged towards the outside of the building, feeling mentally drained.

She remembered there was a martial arts training ground in the estate.

—

The training ground was always lively.

When Mo Fan didn’t join on missions, he would come here to strengthen himself.

Sometimes he would hit the punching bags, sometimes he would single-handedly challenge twenty mercenaries for a bout, but he never found the flowing rhythm that Lu Mian had.

Was it because he wasn’t standing high enough?

Or had his heart recently taken a blow, affecting his performance?

While Mo Fan was practicing intensely here, Wa Zhiqi, for some reason, came running over in a frenzy.

“Mr.

Mo Fan, what a coincidence!”

After greeting, Wa Zhiqi randomly picked a punching bag and went into a fierce burst of punches and kicks.

Mo Fan’s stoic face twitched slightly.

“Captain Wa, what’s the matter with you?” You look like you’ve taken the wrong medicine.

Wa Zhiqi was overly excited as he flexed his biceps for Mo Fan, “I feel like I’m full of strength, I could take down a bull right now!”

“…” Mo Fan replied with an “oh,” envious of confident people.

He sat expressionless on the ground, poured himself some water, and before he could swallow it, he heard a loud “bang.”

The punching bag burst.

Iron sand poured out, scattering all over the floor.

Mo Fan’s mouthful of water sprayed out violently.
