The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 707 - Chapter 707 Chapter 706 H and Thirteen

Chapter 707: Chapter 706 H and Thirteen Chapter 707: Chapter 706 H and Thirteen Sikong Jian gave himself a simple wound treatment.

The flesh around the wound was a bit turned out, with some burn marks, and he poured a good amount of iodine on it.

The irritating liquid stung his skin, and he gritted his teeth, swiftly applying gauze.

During the chase, the enemy took a shot at him, which did not hit any vital parts as the bullet grazed his shoulder.

It was while dodging that he injured his knee and lost the opportunity to capture the opponent.

The real injury was here, although the knee was a superficial wound.

Sikong Jian threw a bunch of bloodied cotton swabs into the toilet and fiercely pressed the flush button.

Fortunately, Lu Mian didn’t discover it.

Early the next morning, Wa Zhiqi and his team came to visit Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo.

Lu Mian briefly described the events, including the matter regarding H.

“H?”

Sun Hui was quite sensitive to such a name, “One of the top three hackers?

No wonder we couldn’t find any information on them no matter how hard we tried!”

“Is H that formidable?

How does he compare to Number Thirteen?” Wa Zhiqi was anxious.

“Of course, Number Thirteen is more formidable.

Otherwise, how could Number Thirteen have hacked the security system right under H’s nose and rescued so many victims?

H must hate Thirteen to death.”

Sun Hui looked at Lu Mian with a touch of pride.

Lu Mian merely lowered her gaze, analyzing the relationship between H and the assassin from the previous night.

“So, this is also why they care so much about Thirteen.” Sun Hui comforted himself a bit; they couldn’t blame him for not intercepting the message in time, given that the other party was among the top hackers and there was a huge gap in strength.

Wa Zhiqi was confused, “But we don’t even know who Number Thirteen is, how did they start ambushing Mr.

Qimo and Miss Lu?”

“Captain Wa, have you forgotten the information provided by Captain Daine last night?”

“Damn, the spy is among the people at the gathering?!”

Everyone’s expression changed drastically, each looking at the others, surprised and yet distrustful.

“It’s not necessarily so; someone might have mentioned it unwittingly.” Daine reassured them, “Let’s not suspect each other for now.

The agency has already initiated top-level emergency measures, and we should be able to find the killer soon.

Then everything will be clear.”

Everyone nodded, and after visiting Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo, they left separately.

Hua Ying came around noon; she had admired Lu Mian from the beginning and insisted on coming to see her after hearing about last night’s incident.

“Sister Mianmian, I’m so glad you’re okay.” She looked very happy.

Lu Mian had a faint expression, sweeping her gaze over Hua Ying.

She noticed Hua Ying didn’t look well today and gave her a longer look.

Hua Ying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

“Ever since my father disappeared, I haven’t slept well a single night.

Dr.

Wang says I’m over-worried.” She spoke as if explaining something, yet it seemed like idle chatter.

“Although I’m anxious to find my father, I don’t want to see you guys get hurt; I’d feel so guilty, and I would sleep even worse…”

Any other person might have needed to console the cute girl speaking so pitifully, but unfortunately, Lu Mian was like an emotionless tool, responding only occasionally with a “hm” and no other reaction.

Hua Ying continued with words of concern, and then she changed the topic with some emotion, “I heard Mr.

Qimo was also there last night, he’s okay, right?”

“He’s fine.”

“You two must have such a great relationship.” She yearned, “If only one of you could survive, Mr.

Qimo would definitely give you the chance to live, right?”

Lu Mian’s pupils contracted slightly.

No matter what Hua Ying’s intentions were in saying such things, Lu Mian personally despised these life-or-death choices.

The young girl’s cool and resolute face appeared particularly cold; her slightly narrowed eyes exuded impatient disgust.

“There is no such thing as ‘if.'” Lu Mian stood up, cold as ice.

Hua Ying’s body shuddered, realizing belatedly, “I’m sorry, Sister Mianmian, I forgot you were the victim of the 726 kidnapping caseaEUR|”

The choice between AorB is probably a shadow that will haunt her for the rest of her life.

Lu Mian’s lips curved in a smile that was not quite a smile as she stared at her, “You know quite a bit.”

“These are all things I heard from others.

.cO

Occasionally, Captain Daine and Doctor Wang would have heart-to-hearts with meaEUR|” Hua Ying explained, as she clenched her fists and stamped her foot angrily, indignant on Lu Mian’s behalf.

“Don’t they always say that a parent’s love for their child is the most selfless and greatest love in the world?

How could they bear to give you up?

If even your closest parents could do this, is there true love in this world at all?”

Lu Mian’s pupils flashed for a moment.

Because she didn’t rest last night, the red blood vessels in the depths of her eyes were obvious; they were crimson and bloodthirsty.

The old wounds were reopened, a shocking sight.

Hua Ying wasn’t comforting her, but reminding her of how pitiable she was.

“Sister Mianmian?” Hua Ying called her a few times, “Sister Mianmian, don’t think about those past things anymore.

Even if no one in the whole world loves us, we must love ourselves, right?”

Lu Mian came back to her senses, her bloody gaze fixing on Hua Ying as she said coldly, “I have someone who loves me, and I have someone I love.”

The oppressive gaze frightened Hua Ying pale, and she retreated a few steps, biting her lip and not daring to speak again under Lu Mian’s scrutiny.

“If you’re not feeling well, go back and rest properly.” Lu Mian got up and walked over to Hua Ying, her lips curved slightly in a distant and cold gesture, motioning her to leave.

Her natural, powerful aura oppressed Hua Ying invisibly.

Hua Ying fled instinctively.

“Alright then, I’ll be going back, Sister Mianmian.”

Hua Ying left as if nothing happened and only after she was far away did she cover her chest and cough a few times, her face pale as she returned to her room.

Lu Mian locked herself in the room, her back tightly against the door, weary in both body and soul.

Hua Ying returned to her room and rummaged through her bag for a bottle of vitamins, taking out one and popping it into her mouth.

The packaging was for vitamins, but the capsules contained medicine specially prepared for her by sir.

The blue capsules were for anti-inflammatory powder.

The green ones were for external injury powder.

The pink ones were for emergency aid powder.

There were several other colors as well, each with their own use.

This bottle of vitamins was inconspicuous; she had escaped the scrutiny of the office, and it was also what saved her life under Sikong Jian’s hands last night.

She was the one who had ambushed Xiao Qimo.

Hua Ying hadn’t had time to think further when her phone in the bag vibrated, making her heart tremble as well.

Even though the network security at the office was under strict surveillance and completely blocked external signals, avoiding monitoring and communication with the outside world wasn’t difficult for Hua Ying.

Hua Ying unlocked her phone.

[?] Just a question mark.

Her face turned even paler, acknowledging it as an inquiry about her mission progress.

She picked up the phone and typed carefully.

[Sir, I’m sorry.

The ambush on number thirteen has failed, and I currently cannot take Lu Mian away.]

After typing these words, her eyes filled with longing and dependence.

Annoyed, she rapidly deleted them.

[Sir, the mission is in progress.] She edited this message and sent it out.
