The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 697 - Chapter 697 Chapter 696 Suspicious Person

Chapter 697: Chapter 696: Suspicious Person Chapter 697: Chapter 696: Suspicious Person Wa Zhiqi hid behind Mo Fan as if he had encountered a devastating flood or a ferocious beast, scared out of his wits.

Mo Fan looked at Lu Mian, who was a few steps away, and casually strolled over with an air of ease.

“You really don’t want to fight anymore?” Lu Mian asked, her face full of disappointment.

Wa Zhiqi nodded frantically, “No more fighting!

Little ancestor, I think the effects of the medicine have worn off, we can take a break now.”

“Oh.”

Lu Mian skillfully performed several stretches and then left, disheartened.

For her, it was as if she had come to the martial arts field just for a warm-up, without even getting to use her ultimate moves, and everything was over.

Before leaving, she gave Mo Fan a nonchalant glance, as if deep in thought.

Mo Fan shivered, and after she had walked some distance, he asked Wa Zhiqi, “Team Wa, what happened?

In the blink of an eye, you were done?”

“aEUR|” Wa Zhiqi had a mournful expression on his face, “I finally understand how those twenty mercenaries met their bitter defeataEUR| So vicious, Lu Mian is too viciousaEUR|”

Mo Fan’s lips twitched, but he felt considerably better, regaining a bit of his self-confidence.

“Mr.

Mo Fan, you better warn your Master Mo as well, I thinkaEUR|”

Mo Fan waved his hand dismissively, “Don’t worry, Master Mo couldn’t possibly lose.”

The two didn’t plan to continue practicing and began to pack up their things to leave.

When they passed a wooden dummy that was broken in half at the waist, Mo Fan asked Wa Zhiqi with some surprise, “Team Wa, did you break this?”

Wa Zhiqi shook his head, “How could I?

At most, I’ve only ever broken four sandbags!”

“aEUR|” Mo Fan felt his self-esteem take another hit, feeling choked up.

Wa Zhiqi offered a perfunctory response, “It was probably already broken.”

Mo Fan hesitated; when he arrived at the martial arts field today, it hadn’t been broken.

He thought of a possibility, shuddered, and left.

Wang Xintong was heading to the computer room and happened to pass by the hall where Daine and Hua Ying were talking.

Tears smeared Hua Ying’s face, “Captain, I’ve told Sister Lu Mian everything I have to say, you must rescue my father as soon as possibleaEUR| pleaseaEUR|”

Daine clumsily tried to comfort her, “Don’t worry, Miss Hua, we will inform you immediately once there’s any progress.”

Wang Xintong bit her lip and was about to walk away with her head down.

Daine caught sight of her, “Doctor Wang, do you have a moment, could you please stay with Miss Hua?”

Wang Xintong certainly had important things to do.

Since Hua Ying didn’t really like her, she made an excuse, “Captain, I’m quite busy right now, I need to go adjust some security footageaEUR|”

“I seeaEUR|”

Hua Ying immediately shook her head obediently, “It’s okay, Captain, you don’t have to look for someone to accompany me.

Everyone is so busy with my father’s case, I shouldn’t cause any more trouble.”

Daine nodded, “Thank you for understanding, Miss Hua.”

Wang Xintong smiled faintly and quickly made her way to the computer room.

She hadn’t yet entered when she encountered Sun Hui hurriedly exiting with a laptop in his arms.

“Sun Hui!” Wang Xintong stepped forward to stop him, “Could you help me look at some security footage?”

“I was just about to call everyone for an urgent meeting.

Is it pressing?”

“Extremely urgent!

It’s related to our office’s safety!”

Wang Xintong spoke with utmost seriousness, and Sun Hui didn’t dare delay on such a matter.

He promptly went back to the computer room and started up the security footage.

“What do you need to check?”

“Pull up last night’s security footage of the back garden for me.

I saw Lu Mian talking to someone, all sneaky and secretive.”

“Miss Lu?”

Mr.

Sun Hui’s actions halted, and as a Guardian Angel, he asked, “Are you going to investigate her?”

“Just help me check first!

Once it’s checked out, you’ll know!”

Mr.

Sun Hui thought the same, once it was checked out, everything would be clear.

Miss Lu couldn’t possibly be sneaking around, there must be some misunderstanding.

He followed Wang Xintong’s instructions and found the surveillance from last night.

“Right under that Phoenix tree, is there any usable surveillance?”

Mr.

Sun Hui retrieved several camera feeds, indeed capturing Lu Mian’s figure, but regarding the person behind the Phoenix tree, he shook his head, “No, the other person’s position was too sly, just in the blind spot of the camera.

If the person had moved just slightly off, we could have captured them.”

“Huh…” Wang Xintong suddenly chuckled, “Does that mean they know the surveillance layout of the office very well?”

“Doctor Wang, what do you mean?”

Before Mr.

Sun Hui could ask for clarification, a computer in the computer room suddenly beeped a reminder.

Wang Xintong was startled, “What happened?”

Mr.

Sun Hui’s expression also grew serious, “That alert, it’s someone transmitting a message out.”

He left that statement hanging, immediately turned on the computer, and no longer paid attention to Wang Xintong, as he began typing rapidly and urgently.

This time, Wang Xintong knew to keep quiet, standing aside quietly, waiting with a clenched fist as Mr.

Sun Hui dealt with the situation.

About ten minutes passed.

Mr.

Sun Hui, with a sweat-soaked forehead, stopped.

“How did it go?” Wang Xintong urgently asked.

“The message was intercepted…” Mr.

Sun Hui said somberly, then shook his head, “But a copy was still transmitted out.

Direction unknown, recipient unknown.”

This situation was extremely serious; anyone could figure out that there was a problem inside the office.

Wang Xintong urged, “Then hurry up and look at the message that was intercepted!”

Mr.

Sun Hui opened the encrypted message, and after some effort, cracked it.

[They have changed the direction of the investigation, and the plan proceeds as usual.

Number Thirteen’s whereabouts are still unclear.]

Wang Xintong and Mr.

Sun Hui looked at each other, each clenching a cold sweat.

“Mr.

Sun Hui, you see, there is indeed a spy in the office.

Under such circumstances, who is the most suspicious, I don’t need to tell you…”

Mr.

Sun Hui opened his mouth, his throat dry.

Whoever first proposed the “holographic projection” plan was the most suspicious.

After all, the encrypted message specifically emphasized “changed the direction of the investigation.”

“Mr.

Sun Hui, let’s urgently call everyone to a meeting now!

Don’t let Lu Mian transmit more messages out!”

Mr.

Sun Hui shook his head, “I don’t think it’s her!”

Wang Xintong thought these men were clueless, pacing back and forth in frustration.

“Don’t forget, she initially received a gift!

All of you told me not to pursue it, but have you ever considered that she might be using that specially made bookmark to communicate with the outside world?!”

Mr.

Sun Hui: …

Well, with Lu Mian’s ability, that wouldn’t be necessary.

But Wang Xintong could no longer tolerate Mr.

Sun Hui’s explanations, she felt as if she had discovered a significant secret and wished she could let everyone know right now.

She was determined that this time she would personally reveal Lu Mian’s disguise in front of Mr.

Sikong!

aEUR”aEUR”

In the meeting room, Wang Xintong had urgently convened everyone in her personal capacity.

Normally she wouldn’t have the authority for such a call, but she claimed it was an emergency, so everyone respected her request and showed up.

Upon arriving and seeing the serious look on Wang Xintong’s face, everyone started to speculate there was a major problem.

Mr.

Sun Hui also came along with his notebook.

Lu Mian, Xiao Qimo, and Sikong Jian all stood in a corner, each with expressions of bewilderment.

Once everyone was seated, Wang Xintong didn’t bother with any roundabout talk and pointed directly at Lu Mian,

“Lu Mian, take out your tool for the crime!”
