Chapter 700 - Chapter 700 Chapter 699 Two Men's Face-Off Cunning vs Shamelessness

Chapter 700: Chapter 699: Two Men’s Face-Off: Cunning vs Shamelessness Chapter 700: Chapter 699: Two Men’s Face-Off: Cunning vs Shamelessness Lu Mian’s tone was light and devoid of much emotion.

Lounging lazily on the sofa, she waited for Sun Hui to bring over the laptop.

“No way, Miss Lu knows how to do computer programming?”

Someone muttered curiously.

Wa Zhiqi scratched the back of his head, “My bad for not saying before.

When Miss Lu applied to join the office, she said she was proficient with computers.”

The man in sunglasses sighed incessantly, “Miss Lu is good at martial arts, cooking, and now programming, plus she’s a victim of the 726 case.

Team Wa, you’ve brought us a truly remarkable person!”

“How does that brain of hers work?

For ordinary people, mastering just one of these would be incredible, but she’s adept at all three!”

Wa Zhiqi: …

Alas, he really thought at first that Miss Lu was lovesick, simply coming to the office to be around Qimo.

“However, digging into the other party’s background must be very difficult, right?

Even Old Sun couldn’t do it…”

Sun Hui didn’t explain much.

He stood up and respectfully handed it over, but was intercepted by Wang Xintong.

“Mr.

Sun Hui, you can’t give her that.

What if she sends out messages to the outside again?”

Sun Hui looked up, puzzled, “Doctor Wang, has Miss Lu offended you in some way?

Why are you always against her?”

“I…

No, it’s just that she seems very strange to me!” Wang Xintong ran out of words.

Indeed, Lu Mian had not offended her, and there was no significant conflict between them.

She simply disliked Lu Mian’s arrogant and imperious character.

Of course, if there were real conflicts, they would have arisen today.

Wang Xintong looked deeply at Sikong Jian.

The passion that had been quenched within her only made her realize more clearly that the higher one stood, the more outstanding men she could meet, and the broader the world she would see.

The Wang Family behind her was also destined not to just settle for being a second-tier clan.

Their goal was the Supreme Clan.

Sun Hui, avoiding Wang Xintong’s interference, still handed the computer to Lu Mian.

Wang Xintong sighed heavily as she sat down on the sofa, “If something goes wrong, don’t say I didn’t warn you…”

But no one paid attention to her.

Everyone’s gaze was captured by Lu Mian’s lightning-fast typing speed.

With the same ten fingers, hers moved so quickly, while theirs seemed like mere decorations.

Sikong Jian moved from the front to the back, and the crowd naturally made way for him.

When he arrived at the side of Lu Mian’s sofa, he naturally edged out Sun Hui.

Sun Hui silently found a more out-of-the-way spot to stand.

Xiao Qimo squinted his eyes, stretching out his long arm in a casual manner, resting it on the back of Lu Mian’s sofa, clearly declaring his dominion through his actions to everyone present.

Sikong Jian scoffed: Scheming!

He plopped himself on the armrest of the sofa to the left of Lu Mian.

Xiao Qimo laughed: Shameless!

Amidst the overt and covert struggle between the two men, Lu Mian was completely oblivious as she crossed her legs, spreading the laptop on them, half nestled in the sofa, furiously working on the screen.

Occasionally stealing a moment amidst her busyness, she tucked away some stray hairs near her ear, while her other hand continued to type on the keyboard undisturbed.

In that moment, she possessed a powerful sense of control with an air of breezy indifference.

Until the code on the computer screen all disappeared, leaving it entirely black.

Lu Mian’s hands paused ever so slightly, coming to a stop.

“What’s happened?” Sikong Jian leaned in to look.

Lu Mian pushed the screen back, folded her arms across her chest, her clear eyes squinting slightly with a playful curve on her lips.

“The other party is very strong,” she said lightly.

Sikong Jian tapped a few times on the touchpad, but the screen remained black, as if the computer had crashed.

He said gravely, “Could it be their personal hacker?”

Lu Mian didn’t say anything, but it seemed like she agreed.

Xiao Qimo listened to their conversation, temporarily suppressing the jealousy in his heart.

His gaze swept past Sikong Jian, as if he had caught on to some crucial point.

Sun Hui looked on, sweating profusely: “Miss Lu, what’s the situation?”

Lu Mian shut down the computer and handed it back to Sun Hui, “It’s nothing.

The interval was a bit long; the other side has already cleared all traces.”

She said this casually.

Sun Hui showed understanding, “Yes, by the time I intercepted them, they had already sent the message.

After more than half an hour, they surely erased all traces completely…”

The others consoled Lu Mian with good intentions: “It’s okay, Miss Lu, it’s not your fault!”

“It’s a sly fox; there will be a day when it reveals its tail!

We will definitely find this spy!”

Indeed.

We will certainly find them.

Lu Mian’s expression grew even more intriguing.

Xiao Qimo observed her micro-expressions, nodded slightly, and leaned closer to Lu Mian to whisper.

“You’ve already found out, haven’t you?”

Otherwise, her expression wouldn’t be so complex.

Lu Mian tilted her head slightly and smiled at him, then lazily stood up.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back,” she said as she took the initiative to leave.

The two men, seeing this, naturally did not linger and followed Lu Mian out, one after the other.

Lu Mian turned and shook her head in resignation, “You two should get back to work, don’t follow me.”

Leaving that comment behind, she breezed out, leaving the two men watching her eager departure, feeling as if they had been tricked somehow.

Did this girl intentionally escape?

The meeting room was left in a mess.

Daine pulled Xiao Qimo and Sikong Jian back to the room, spreading his hands he asked, “What do we do now, gentlemen?

You both saw the message the spy sent out; we need to act fast to determine our next steps in cracking the case!”

“You’re right.

They said we’ve changed the direction of the investigation and the plan will proceed as usual.

Does that mean they deliberately led us to the wrong direction of holographic projection?”

“But what if they intentionally leaked it to us?”

The group analyzed back and forth, each with their own logic.

Wa Zhiqi shook his head, “While it’s uncertain which direction is correct, one thing’s for sureaEUR”they’re also looking for ‘Number Thirteen’.”

“Exactly!” Guardian Angel, Mr.

Sun Hui, immediately spoke up, “This means ‘Number Thirteen’ is very important to them.

We absolutely can’t leak any information about ‘Number Thirteen’!”

Daine nodded, “I’m aware of that, and everyone must keep it a secret!”

“Yes!”

The intercepted message instantly threw the office’s plans into disarray.

In the end, it was Xiao Qimo who made a decision, having Daine lead a team according to the old plan.

Wa Zhiqi led another team to continue investigating the direction of holographic projection.

Everyone nodded in agreement; there was no better plan at the moment.

Xiao Qimo and Sikong Jian left one after the other.

The two men walked down the deserted corridor.

Xiao Qimo suddenly stopped and said, “You’re the fifth person, aren’t you?”
