The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 735 - Chapter 735 Chapter 734 The Invaluable Hat

Chapter 735: Chapter 734: The Invaluable Hat! Chapter 735: Chapter 734: The Invaluable Hat! Sun Hui chuckled politely and declined, “Ah, I’m only interested in our field, let’s forget about the rest…”

Just getting number thirteen’s autograph was enough to brag about for half a lifetime.

His younger brother, Sun Kai, would probably die of jealousy.

Lu Mian smiled without saying a word but handed the cap and pen directly to Xiao Qimo beside her.

“Here.”

Xiao Qimo slightly arched an eyebrow, gently swirling the wine in his glass, “Me?”

“How could your signature be missing next to mine?” Lu Mian said, with a double meaning in her words.

Xiao Qimo’s eyes brimmed with an indulgent smile as he took Sun Hui’s cap, swiftly writing his own signature next to Lu Mian’s, following her wish.

Sun Hui: What on earth! His precious cap! His priceless cap!

After all, he had already declined aaaaah!

Xiao Qimo calmly returned the cap to Sun Hui, whose heart ached at the thought of his cap being unclean. However, the moment he looked down, his eyes bulged.

“S…” He swallowed hard.

Lu Mian placed her slender finger to her lips, smiling and shaking her head.

Sun Hui never managed to shout out the following letters.

Seven!!!!

Inside, Sun Hui could only scream in his heart.

A man in his thirties, as joyous as a bald child, this cap, this unparalleled cap aaaaah!

The mark of one of the top three hackers was left on his cap.

Even though he was fed a full meal of dog food, it was nothing compared to the wild joy in his heart.

Now, when he returned, his younger brother would probably cry with envy.

Uh… wait a second.

Number thirteen is Miss Lu, and Seven is Mr. Qimo, which means his younger brother had also met the two legends before…

Damn!

Okay, his only advantage was that he had also met H.

He had collected all three of the top hackers.

Back on the sofa, peace was restored. Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo smiled without a word, clinking their white milk against the red wine glass.

“Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Lu Mian asked softly, “Why did you choose this name this time?”

Xiao Qimo answered softly, “Too lazy to pick a name.”

“Me too…”

The party nearly lasted till late night when Daine, somewhat muddled in the head, approached Lu Mian, frowning at his phone.

“Miss Lu, sorry, I was ignorant of your greatness,” he exhaled a breath reeking of alcohol.

He had even learned to use idioms.

Xiao Qimo, wary of the alcohol fumes reaching Lu Mian, wrapped his arm around the girl’s arm and stepped a few paces away from Daine.

Daine felt wronged, “Miss Lu, do you think the person who emailed headquarters lacks morals? He obviously knew about number thirteen’s information but still insisted on sending an encrypted email, causing the headquarters to spend days before they finally decrypted the answer.”

He was on the verge of feeling aggrieved to death; the case was closed, and he only learned the final answer now, plus he still had to pay out a reward of five hundred million yuan.

Who wouldn’t feel the pain?

Lu Mian rubbed her nose, “But he did provide the correct information, didn’t he…”

Therefore, it was even more infuriating!

“Too unscrupulous, really too unscrupulous… woo woo woo, my spicy strips, my money…”

Daine, sobbing and teary-eyed, clicked on the payment button and then drunkenly shut himself away.

Yun Sang, who was urgently training in Jinjing, was suddenly awakened.

“Damn!” Yun Sang leaped to his feet, not even caring about the team battle anymore. He stared at the income information on his phone–a 5 followed by a long string of zeros.

Exactly five hundred million. Not a penny more, not a penny less.

He instantly knew where the money had come from.

“Did I just win lying down?” Well, it was quite sudden.

The team members all crowded around curiously. Although each of them was worth over one hundred million, five hundred million wasn’t five dollars–everyone was envious.

Cheng Feng was utterly baffled, “Captain, how did you make it? Please take me with you!”

Yun Sang’s expression was extremely flamboyant. Putting on his beloved underwear, he slapped his thighs that were white and shining, “My little sister Mianmian led me to earn it.”

Everyone: Despises the captain.

Calling her your little sister all day long, Mr. Qimo is going to beat you up one of these days.

Since Lu Mian had fallen ill with a fever, Xiao Qimo did not hurry back either, allowing her to rest a few more days at the office.

However, her illness came on strangely, with the fever persisting and not subsiding, which made Xiao Qimo quite worried.

Daine was busy handing over cases, storing all the evidence, photos, collected clues, and items at the Shencheng IEG Branch.

While cleaning Hua Ying’s room, they found some blood-stained gauze and the bottle of vitamin capsules under the bed. After analysis, everyone was shocked again.

Hua Ying’s identity was now clear as day.

It was just a bit hard to explain to Dr. Hua…

Wang Xintong hadn’t said much from the beginning to the end. Since that time, she had never met Lu Mian face-to-face again.

Upon learning that she could leave, she packed her things and left overnight.

Other support staff also left intermittently.

After Daine finished all these tasks, he had no more responsibilities left to manage. He, feeling light and carefree, took several boxes of spicy strips and returned to headquarters.

Wa Zhiqi, Sun Hui, and Ke Weimin, who were all from the special operations team, naturally followed him back.

As for Sikong Jian, he had already gone back with his team on the day of the gathering.

His time was always tight, without much freedom to spare.

Lu Mian had secretly contacted Yu and learned that he had already made comprehensive arrangements for the victims. Ya Ling and Yuanyuan had also returned to their respective positions, and everyone was busy with their own things.

For a moment, Lu Mian felt a sense of emptiness. She didn’t really have any big ambitions left. Having resolved the biggest concern in her heart, she couldn’t muster much interest in other matters.

Oh, she remembered something, which she could perhaps continue investigating.

“Director Qimo, has Dr. Hua returned to Shencheng?”

Xiao Qimo and another team had taken separate routes. That team, which included Dr. Hua and four others, arrived back at the office two days later.

After all, they had to travel by car from the north to Shencheng in the south, a considerable distance.

Unlike Mr. Qimo, who traveled directly through the magnetic field corridor to Yinye Island and then from Yinye Island back to the office, saving a lot of time.

“Dr. Hua has been placed at the central hospital. Once the paperwork is done, he will be transferred to Jinjing Hospital. The medical facilities there are a bit more advanced.” Xiao Qimo, looking at Lu Mian, “Do you have something on your mind?”

“A little something.”

Her gaze flickered slightly, “I want to see him.”

“Sure, I’ll arrange it. But his mental state is not good right now. The doctor said it’s PTSD.”

PTSD, that was the psychological disorder Ye Jinwen had once worried she might have.

Lu Mian had a hunch; Dr. Hua’s psyche had suffered a great trauma, and he might not be able to answer her questions for a while.

But if she didn’t clarify this issue, it would stick in her throat.

Soon, Xiao Qimo arranged the time and place. As promised, he drove Lu Mian to the hospital.
