The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 734 - Chapter 734 Chapter 733 Guessed Right No Reward

Chapter 734: Chapter 733: Guessed Right, No Reward Chapter 734: Chapter 733: Guessed Right, No Reward Lu Mian snuggled comfortably into the sofa.

Her head still felt hot, and she wasn’t very spirited, lethargically turning on her phone and with little interest, tapped open the IEG software’s chat group.

Magician Leader: [Today I’m focusing on criticizing Team Three, @Team Three’s Lover. You know exactly what you did. Next time I discover weapons traced back to you causing trouble, go directly to the Discipline Hall yourself.]

Team Three’s Lover: [Leader, I was wrong! I swear this will be the last time!]

Lu Mian twitched the corner of her mouth.

Just as she was about to put away her phone, the Leader sent a second message.

[An explosion occurred suddenly on Yinye Island in Z Country. This isn’t the work of someone from our organization, right?]

At this moment, they had not yet received any documents transferred from the international police force and did not know that Yinye Island was the stronghold of New World Laboratory.

Team Three’s Lover: [Definitely not me, it has nothing to do with me at all!]

Team Four: [Not me.]

Team Five: [Not me.]

…

Team Nine: [Not me.]

All the commanders had made their statements, leaving only Team One and Team Two.

It didn’t take long for Team One to respond.

[Not me.]

Yun Zhijuan anxiously awaited Team Two’s response, not knowing exactly what happened on Yinye Island; he just threw the question out there to inoculate himself in advance.

After waiting for quite some time, a sudden throb pulsed at his temples.

This damned, ominous premonition!

He suddenly remembered that Team Two had gotten enriched uranium from Team Three…

Under everyone’s expectant gaze, Team Two finally spoke up.

[Leader, asking is pointless. Go investigate and find out.]

Lu Mian flatly refused to admit anything; Elder Yun was already against her investigating the kidnapping case, so she had to be cautious.

Although, by category, the kidnapping case was a super S-grade difficult incident, capturing those involved in the illegal laboratory would count as a great merit.

But the problem was that it caused too much commotion, making it hard to explain to the public.

Lu Mian couldn’t be bothered with these nuisances and played dead, pretending to know nothing.

Yun Zhijuan’s ominous premonition only grew stronger.

Team Three also suddenly felt a shiver run down its spine.

Could it be?

Could it be?

In the end, Yun Zhijuan took a deep breath.

[Team One, this matter is yours to investigate.]

Xiao Qimo, sitting on the toilet in the bathroom, eyes darkening, found this turn of events to be quite to his liking.

He wanted to know who it was that had lifted the siege for them, blown up the island, and rescued Mo Fan.

He coldly replied: [Received.]

Lu Mian: …

The girl stared at the message above, her brow tightening. Why was this investigation handed over to Team One?

She had long heard that Team One’s mission success rate was the highest. If he found out, she would again avoid the nagging and trouble…

Ah, so annoying.

Xiao Qimo came out of the bathroom to find Lu Mian sitting in the corner of the sofa.

“What’s wrong?” The man noticed Lu Mian’s poor expression.

She was all smiles before he left, but when he returned, her face was full of world-weariness and impatience.

“Did someone annoy you?”

Lu Mian pursed her lips slightly, “You could say that, it’s annoying.”

“Shall I help you resolve it?” Xiao Qimo secretly hoped to hear her say “Yes,” but Lu Mian’s independent and strong nature meant she rarely asked for his help.

He had strength he couldn’t use, and a willingness with nowhere to apply it.

As expected, Lu Mian waved her hand in irritation, “Don’t interfere, the more you do, the more chaotic it gets.”

“Fine then.”

The two sat quietly on the sofa together, watching their colleagues come and go, their toasts intermingling, creating a world of their own.

Suddenly, Daine leaped onto a chair.

“Let’s thank Mr. Qimo, who is number thirteen, for both his financial and physical efforts, raise your glasses to him!”

Everyone turned in unison, raising their glasses towards Xiao Qimo.

Lu Mian looked down at the milk in her hand and snorted.

Sun Hui hurriedly jumped out, “Wrong, wrong! Everyone’s got it wrong!”

The case was already closed and the threat to number thirteen was no longer present. As her Guardian Angel, he could finally reveal Lu Mian’s true identity!

“Number thirteen is actually…” Sun Hui’s revelation almost slipped out of his mouth.

Daine’s phone went off again, “Old Sun, wait a second, it’s an urgent email from headquarters.”

Everyone fell silent.

Daine opened the email, glanced at it twice, and suddenly jumped down from his chair, staggering a bit.

“Captain Daine, what happened?”

“It’s bonus time! My eyes always go straight when I’m giving out bonuses!”

“Captain Daine, you’ve got to treat us to a meal before you leave!”

Eat my foot!

Daine nearly cursed out loud as he stared at his phone, glancing back and forth between the email and Lu Mian.

After looking several times, he burst into tears.

“It’s you, it’s you, it’s actually you!”

Sun Hui, not understanding the situation, rubbed his hands together, itching for his turn to speak.

He had been holding it in for too long!

Daine rushed forward a few steps and threw himself in front of Lu Mian, “Miss Lu, you are number thirteen!”

Everyone: …???!!!

Their expressions were perfectly synchronized, going from “What nonsense is Captain Daine talking about?” to “This can’t be possible, what kind of joke is this?” and then to “It really is Miss Lu, it really is her”, all undergoing such a turmoil of thoughts.

Only Sun Hui’s expression was one of utter collapse, almost on the verge of spitting blood.

He wanted to shove the news back and let himself speak first!

After a huge shock, everyone came to accept this new narrative.

Lu Mian, substituting milk for alcohol, raised her glass slightly, her arrogance and wickedness mixed with a hint of mischief, “Guess correctly, no reward.”

Everyone: …

Sun Hui, furious, grabbed Daine by the arm, “Call me grandpa.”

He had said it all before, but no one believed him.

Daine: “Grandpa, grandpa…”

Everyone automatically distanced themselves from Daine and started to gleefully befriend Sun Hui.

Sun Hui was quite proud at that moment, recounting the tales of Miss Lu’s exploits as if they were treasured memories.

“Miss Lu, she reinforced our office network, remember that night she left me a message? The time you all didn’t believe… She even upgraded the surveillance to high-definition, and she gave me a hacking manual, which let us smoothly enter the laboratory…”

Everyone: …

What kind of rare species was Miss Lu, was she an all-rounder?

Wa Zhiqi regretted it so much his guts turned green. When Lu Mian had approached him to join the office, she had claimed to be good at “computers”.

He had been so foolish. A deity was right in front of him, yet he’d been searching everywhere else.

Proud Sun Hui shook off his little brothers and approached Lu Mian, taking off his cap that he wore all year round, “Miss Lu, I want an autograph!”

Lu Mian tried not to look at his shining forehead.

“Hand me a pen.”

Sun Hui fumbled around and pulled out a fancy-looking highlighter, “Use this!”

With a grand flourish, Lu Mian stylishly signed the “thirteen” on the brim of his cap.

After signing, she tilted her head and glanced at Xiao Qimo beside her, asking Sun Hui, “Do you want his autograph too?”
