This was a very clear sign.

“Okay, I got it.” Daine took serious note of it.

Wang Xintong had no intention of leaving.

“Dr.

Wang, do you have any other matters?”

“I…

I wanted to ask, Mr.

Sikong’s knee injury, has it gotten any better…”

Sikong Jian heard someone mention his name and didn’t even turn his head, actually moving farther away.

Wang Xintong didn’t receive even half a response.

Daine waved his hand, “It shouldn’t be anything serious.

Dr.

Wang, you go ahead and take Miss Hua back first.”

—

The operation plan at the agency, after adjustments, was finally decided to first head to Xuefeng Mountain and then to Yinye Island.

This was also a reasonable arrangement based on the existing evidence.

Hua Ying provided a key clue, which Daine and the others couldn’t ignore, as she was the only witness and the sole daughter of Dr.

Hua.

Over these days, they all saw her concern for her father.

All the straight men, upon seeing Hua Ying becoming thinner day by day, unanimously thought it was due to her excessive longing.

Wang Xintong even emphasized that she would definitely take good care of Hua Ying, waiting at the agency for everyone’s triumphant return.

Sikong Jian restrained the complexity in his eyes.

Xiao Qimo, with a mind full of heavy thoughts, returned to his room, unusually didn’t go to bother Lu Mian in her room.

—

Early in the morning, the agency was bustling with quiet activity.

Lu Mian yawned delicately and followed to the training ground.

Daine had already assembled the team, and everyone was ready for battle.

Xiao Qimo emotionlessly reiterated the operation plan and turned to see the girl standing under a pine tree, with a pine needle casually held in her mouth, her arms crossed over her chest, mischievously like a gang boss.

The man’s eyes darkened, somewhat avoiding her gaze.

He hid it so well, not showing any trace of it, that Lu Mian didn’t notice.

Before the two of them could react, the team members behind started teasing, with some whistling and some howling, all with suggestive looks.

Today was the special operations team’s departure day.

Once they left, who knew how many dangers they would face.

No one said, “Why not let Lu Mian go?” In their minds, letting a girl take the lead in such matters would be their failure.

Moreover, everyone knew that Lu Mian was once a victim, they couldn’t even provide enough protection for her, how could they let her join on a mission, even though she was very capable and strong.

“And I bid you farewell with a kiss~~”

Someone in the crowd started singing, also intentionally livening up the solemn mood.

Xiao Qimo glared at the crowd, then strode with his long legs towards Lu Mian.

“Here he comes.”

Lu Mian raised her head, paused for a moment, tossed the pine needle aside, and said with concern, “Director Qimo, you don’t look well.”

Beneath the glasses, his eyes were full of red blood vessels.

Was he too tired?

She raised her hand, her slender and pale fingers pressing evenly against his temples.

The furrow between the man’s brows relaxed a great deal.

Xiao Qimo looked deeply at her, a fine, dense ache pulling at his heart, yet he couldn’t wait to pull her into his embrace.

The row of men behind started howling even more intensely.

Daine shouted, “Stop making a fuss, everyone turn around.”

The crowd did so reluctantly.

Xiao Qimo ignored those people, his Adam’s apple sliding, and his voice, dark and deep, uttered two words.

“Mianmian.”

“Hmm, I’m here.”

Such a good, adorable girl.

Xiao Qimo thought, if he hadn’t researched the ink particles, if there hadn’t been an accident with the ink particles, would she not have experienced the disaster two years ago?

“`

Perhaps she was still the same aloof and cold person, perhaps her parents were still so indifferent, but at least her life didn’t contain that nightmarish experience.

He didn’t know the details of what happened to her, but every time he thought of her saying calmly, “With no protection, falling into the magnetic field tunnel,” his heart ached unbearably.

The whereabouts of the ink particles, he had been investigating, and he strongly suspected they were used by an illegal laboratory.

.co

Not until Sikong Jian, the victim himself, spoke out did he finally confirm his suspicions one hundred percent.

The guilt in his heart, like a tsunami, like a hurricane, swept over him.

“I’m sorry,” Xiao Qimo once again repeated these words with emphasis.

Lu Mian thought he was still apologizing for the previous “in the name of love,” and hadn’t expected to have caused him such great pressure.

She too felt sorry and followed with a quiet whisper.

“I’m sorry.”

Anyway, no matter what, apologize first.

After the apology, go back to whatever you were doing.

Xiao Qimo chuckled, “You little rascal, what are you apologizing to me for?

You haven’t done anything wrong.”

“Ah.”

Lu Mian averted her gaze with a slight smile, “Old fox, you have to come back safe.”

“Then give me a lucky kiss.”

Lu Mian tilted her head and readily satisfied his wish, tiptoeing to leave a tender kiss on the man’s forehead.

Xiao Qimo’s desire was ignited, his large hand clutched the back of her head, his fingers threaded through her soft, silk-like hair, capturing her lips.

It was fervent, intertwined, reluctant to part.

The man took the opportunity to quietly slip something into the girl’s pocket.

In the end, it was Wa Zhiqi, facing immense pressure, who came forward as expected to break up the couple’s world for two.

“Mr.

Qimo, it’s time to depart.”

Lu Mian flushed, pushing the man away.

“I’m going to my room, not seeing you off!” She fled quickly and awkwardly.

Xiao Qimo’s last instruction was, “Be good and practice your handwriting, wait for me to come back.”

“I’ll wait for you,” Lu Mian replied briskly.

Xiao Qimo snickered amused, agreeing so readily!

The parting was brief, and within the team, there weren’t any lengthy speeches.

Sikong saw the group off to the mansion’s gate.

Xiao Qimo’s gaze swept over his shoulder, and his eyes darkened slightly.

“Although I don’t want to talk to you, I still have to ask you to take good care of Lu Mian,” Xiao Qimo instructed very seriously.

But he used a language that others couldn’t understand.

Sikong snorted and replied in the same language.

“That’s what I should do, you don’t need to tell me to do it.”

Daine, watching from the side, scratched his head in frustration.

At such a critical moment, could you two speak in a language that everyone understands?

What language was that anyway?

“Let’s go,” Xiao Qimo commanded with a word.

Daine followed behind him, persistently asking, “Mr.

Qimo, what exactly did you two say?”

Xiao Qimo looked out of the car window at the receding buildings, parting his lips indifferently.

“He said he wasn’t capable enough, better not to cause more trouble for everyone.”

Daine: Huh?

And Liang Hua, who respectfully saw off a group of team members, then sycophantically followed Sikong and asked, “Mr.

Sikong, what did Mr.

Qimo say just now?”

Sikong’s eyes slightly lifted, “He said he has a bad temper and is thankful for everyone’s tolerance over this period.”

Liang Hua scratched the back of his head: ?

Meanwhile, hidden in the shadows, Hua Ying watched as Xiao Qimo and his people left and her cute, innocent face switched expressions, becoming instantly grim.

She cast a glance toward the main office building, her gaze cold and venomous.
