Chapter 699: Chapter 698: A Massive Battle Scene?

However, for the first time, Sikong Jian ignored Lu Mian’s attempts to stop him.

His fingers had already opened the box lid, and he tenderly removed the contents.

At that moment, Xiao Qimo’s gaze became unfathomably deep and dark.

Sikong Jian held one metal bookmark after another in his hand, displaying them to everyone present.

“I gave them to her,” he said indifferently.

Wang Xintong, who had been smiling until then, suddenly froze and sharply turned to look at the man beside her.

Of course, she also saw the metal bookmarks in his hand.

Among these exquisitely crafted metal pieces, she spotted the rose bookmark identical to Lu Mian’s at first glance.

“Mr.

Sikong, how…

how do you have these?” she staggered, utterly disbelieving.

With a hint of mockery, Sikong Jian swept his gaze over her and turned to look at Lu Mian with suppressed turmoil in the depths of his eyes.

“Haven’t you been looking for the person who gave her the gifts?

That person is me.

I carved the bookmarks myself, and each design comes in a pairaEUR”one for her and one for me.”

He looked at everyone, “Is this evidence enough?”

The crowd had not yet recovered from their astonishment.

What did this mean?

Carving metal bookmarks by hand, and in matching pairs, so…

Mr.

Sikong harbors affection for Miss Lu Mian?

No way, no way?

The crowd cast glances back and forth between Sikong Jian and Lu Mian.

Every straight man suddenly envied this young girl.

Having a magnate like Mr.

Qimo as a boyfriend, and another pursuer like Mr.

SikongaEUR”had Lu Mian saved the Milky Way Galaxy in her past life?

They too wanted to experience being chased by two moguls…

Lu Mian did not find this situation at all delightful; she took a deep look at Sikong Jian and sat down, feeling somewhat powerless.

Not only was everyone else taken aback, but she was also caught off guard.

She had no idea that the bookmarks were made in pairs.

If she had known, she would not have accepted such a gift.

While she worried about how Sikong Jian would explain this to his family, she also deeply sweated for herself.

The gaze beside her was almost scorching her.

“Director Qimo, I…”

Xiao Qimo’s smile was exceptionally kind, not to mention how calm it was.

Lu Mian:…

Sikong Jian looked at her from a distance, and his heart also slowly sank.

He liked her and never hid it.

She rejected him, without a shred of mercy.

The reason he brought out the bookmarks was simply to prevent her from being wrongly accused, to spare her from such humiliation.

Even if she did not care about these things.

But he cared.

He cared…

Wang Xintong had so much more to say, but Sikong Jian’s sincere explanation left her mind briefly blank before she could start thinking again.

She remembered when Mr.

Sikong first came to the office, the strange atmosphere among the three of them.

She remembered Mr.

Sikong suddenly moving next to Lu Mian and not allowing anyone to touch this precious box.

It seemed everything was her misinterpretation.

“Mr.

Sikong, how could it be you…”

Sikong Jian carefully put away the bookmarks, casting a cold glance at Wang Xintong, “Not only am I the one who gave her the gifts, but that night, it was also me who asked Lu Mian out for a talk alone, right by the parasol trees.

Any more questions?”

Any more questions?!

All explanations made sense; how could the crowd raise any further questions?!

The only one with a problem should be Mr.

Qimo, right…?

The crowd looked at the cold and solemn Xiao Qimo, and even though he always wore that expression, given his tightened features, he seemed to be extremely angry at the moment…

What was supposed to be a meeting to capture a spy somehow turned into a grand battleground?

Lu Mian: …I really shouldn’t have come to this office!

The person involved now regretted it, regretted it deeply.

Mo Fan quietly moved from the corner to Xiao Qimo’s side, bending over to whisper something in Xiao Qimo’s ear.

“Boss, do you want me to secretly take him out?”

Daring to compete with Mr.

Mo for a woman, no matter who it was, was unacceptable!

Lu Mian, with her sensitive ears, caught the words and her expression immediately darkened, “Director Qimo, don’t be like this.”

Her relationship with Sikong Jian was not merely that of pursuer and pursued.

She also saw him as family, just like she did with Ya Ling, Yuanyuan, and Old Yu, indispensable loved ones she shared hardships with.

Mo Fan frankly spoke up, “Then we should at least teach him a lesson!”

Lu Mian shook her head, “Mr.

Mo Fan, you can’t beat him.”

“…” Mo Fan tacitly understood.

Xiao Qimo could certainly read the meaning hidden in Lu Mian’s eyes.

Although he felt sour, he maintained his rationality.

He straightened up slightly, leisurely adjusting his glasses, every movement exuding the utmost composure and grace, unrushed.

He offered Mo Fan a faint smile, “Am I such a petty person?”

He was the legit boyfriend, after all.

He had the magnanimity!

Mo Fan clutched his heart, letting out an unsure “Oh” sound as he slowly retreated.

He actually wanted to remind him: Boss, haven’t you noticed?

You’re nearly tearing the sofa armrest to shreds…

All the accusations Wang Xintong leveled against Lu Mian seemed to dissolve effortlessly, not even requiring Lu Mian’s personal intervention, as these people took care of them one by one.

Wang Xintong was not content, shaking her head in frustration.

“But…

but there was a leak at the office, that’s a fact, Mr.

Sun Hui intercepted the information.

If not Lu Mian, who else could it be?”

Sikong Jian let out a cold laugh, “I told you to do your homework, but it seems you haven’t listened at all.”

“Mr.

Sikong?”

“Lu Mian is the victim of the 726 kidnapping case, don’t you know?” Sikong Jian said lightly.

Wang Xintong was shocked again, “Her?

A victim?”

“This is on her file, easily found with a little investigation.

Otherwise, what do you think she’s doing here?”

At that moment, not only was Wang Xintong shocked, but everyone else was equally surprised.

They hadn’t had the time to investigate Lu Mian’s identity, but now, knowing that she was a victim, they suddenly recalled her “experienced” opinion when she first proposed the concept of “holographic projection.”

Back then, they had spared no effort in mocking her for her youth and lack of experience.

But now, knowing the truth, they realized she was the only one with the most experience.

She was the only surviving victim now.

For their office, this was definitely a tremendous asset!

“But…” Wang Xintong bit her lip hard, stubbornly trying to find some trace on Lu Mian to prove her conjecture was right.

She wanted to make an impression in front of Mr.

Sikong, but she hadn’t expected that now, not only had she failed to achieve that, but she had also offended so many people…

“But there really is someone sending messages outside!

Mr.

Sun Hui, tell everyone!”

Sun Hui silently took out a notebook and connected it to the big screen.

“Everyone, look, this is the message I intercepted.

Because I was a step behind, the other side still sent out the news.” Sun Hui finished speaking and specifically gave Lu Mian a sincere smile.

The sofa armrest in Xiao Qimo’s hand “cracked” and broke.

Everyone was startled and turned to look back.

Mr.

Qimo is this…

Xiao Qimo emotionlessly tossed away the broken wood in his hand and coldly ordered, “Keep it serious, continue!”

The inadvertently targeted Sun Hui: How am I not being serious?

Forget it, you can’t fuss with Mr.

Qimo right now!

He immediately straightened his expression and explained in detail to everyone.

Following his explanation, Lu Mian’s expression also grew serious and her thoughts heavier.

After Sun Hui finished speaking, she raised her hand, speaking indifferently.

“Mr.

Sun, give me the computer, I will check out the other party’s details.”
