The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 760 - Chapter 760 Chapter 759 Lay it on the table whats your

Chapter 760: Chapter 759: Lay it on the table, what’s your relationship with the boss?! Chapter 760: Chapter 759: Lay it on the table, what’s your relationship with the boss?! The blood pressure medication wasn’t effective.

Only concentrated uranium worked.

Lu Mian calmly refused Ding Cai’s kindness, “What do you need me for?”

“Oh, I came over just to talk to you about the senior year assembly. Principal Zhang wants you to give a speech on stage about study methods and such.”

Lu Mian slightly furrowed her brows and suddenly remembered, “Mr. Ding, have I never mentioned that I’m taking the college entrance exam this year?”

“Huh? Don’t you still have two years’ worth of knowledge to learn?”

Lu Mian tucked away a stray hair as if it was the most natural thing in the world and retorted, “Does it matter?”

“…”

Ding Cai silently took out his blood pressure medication and popped another pill.

—

Commander God of Death of the first team quickly posted a notice in the group, not going into the details of the entire incident but simply defining the case of Yinye Island.

He had already submitted the evidence, which also announced the official conclusion of the lost case and the kidnapping case.

The group exploded in an instant, no one expected the Yinye Island incident to be linked with the kidnapping case, no wonder the leader classified it as an ultra-S-level mission.

[It’s still the first team with the capability, the case was solved as soon as it fell into your hands.]

[The first team has made a significant achievement this time. I think there’s no suspense about the future leader position, right?]

The person who said this was bold, openly discussing it in the group, obviously highly optimistic about the first team’s future, eagerly wanting to hold on to their coattails.

Xiao Qimo narrowed his eyes, unimpressed by such flattery.

But for the position of the leader, he was determined to secure it.

He had previously looked into Dr. Hua’s records, only accessible with the leader’s permission.

Yun Zhijuan couldn’t disclose the contents of the information, so he could only ask his senior brother to step down from his position so he could investigate personally.

Although he didn’t crack the Yinye Island case on his own, nor did he level the island himself, he didn’t mind using this opportunity to upgrade his status.

Some in the group were curious.

[So, who exactly blew up Yinye Island?]

Xiao Qimo replied expressionlessly, [Commander Demon of the second team.]

There was silence for a moment, followed by a series of: […]

This case seemed to be the second team’s achievement, but nobody understood his reasoning. The fact that he didn’t report immediately was one thing, but it was perplexing that he’d kept it secret and didn’t tell everyone.

Yun Zhijuan knew best what the commander of the second team was thinking.

Sitting by the riverside with a fishing rod, he was so angry that the rod in his trembling hand turned into a pile driver.

That wretched girl had investigated the kidnapping case behind his back and even took concentrated uranium to blow up an island. She must have been afraid of being scolded, hence the delay in telling him.

Even though the girl was now safe and sound, it didn’t change how dangerous the act itself was.

Especially since she did it alone.

When Yun Zhijuan found out about it, he was indeed livid.

A year and a half ago, he found Lu Mian, covered in blood and on the brink of death, in the wilderness. It took a great deal of effort to save her life.

Back then, the bloodlust and slaughter in the girl’s eyes made him tremble as well.

He did a divination for her.

The result of the divination… was very interesting.

So, he had her parachute into the position on IEG’s second team, advising her to put down the butcher’s knife.

Later, as Number Thirteen, she not only rescued her companions from the laboratory one by one but also stubbornly insisted on finding the mastermind behind it all.

Huo Zhu.

He knew this person, a master manipulator of hearts, one of his secrets as the leader.

He too couldn’t find where Huo Zhu was hiding, but he feared the other party brainwashing Lu Mian.

With the girl’s abilities, if she truly became Huo Zhu’s person, he didn’t want to imagine the consequences.

Moreover, this matter is related to a past incident of my junior brother, Xiao Qimo.

Every time he thought about the possibility of Lu Mian seeking retribution from Xiao Qimo, and if these two got into a fight…

All the hair on his body would stand on end.

Therefore, he forbade Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo from investigating this matter.

But in the end, he couldn’t change anything.

He couldn’t stop either of them.

As their master and senior brother, he had no status or authority.

Now, the truth had come to light, yet because of Mian Xiaobao’s “add injury to obliteration” nature, it had alarmed the international community.

Even if her initial intentions were good, her methods didn’t comply with regulations.

Yun Zhijuan understood that Lu Mian didn’t want to leave any trouble behind.

But that was just what she thought, as there were many people in this world coveting that technology.

Thinking this, Yun Zhijuan set his fishing rod aside and sent a message to the group.

[The person who blew up the island should bear the consequences of their actions, credit is yours, and so are the errors. According to the organizational rules, your privileges are revoked for one month, and during this month, no one is allowed to help!]

With a heavy heart, Lu Mian thought, a month-long ban, and no one is allowed to help? How can she investigate her own identity?

Everyone silently watched the leader’s order and sweated for Team Two.

But they felt a bit more balanced at heart, knowing that the leader wasn’t unreasonably biased towards Team Two.

Before everyone could finish that thought, Yun Zhijuan sent another message.

[If you want to plead on their behalf, then they can be exempted from the punishment.]

Lu Mian: That’s more like it. They’ll still be a good master and disciple team, smiling face.

Everyone: ……

After all, didn’t they just not want to punish Team Two?

However, everyone could clearly distinguish that the situation was so dangerous, and Team Two truly made a significant contribution.

Even if they didn’t like Team Two normally, they had nothing to say in this case.

Team Three timidly said: [Leader, maybe we should let it go…]

This was pleading for Lu Mian.

Yun Zhijuan sneered coldly, showing none of the tolerance he had for Team Two.

[You’re not qualified to plead.]

Team Three: …What the hell?

Let’s lay it on the table, what exactly is your relationship with the leader, Team Two?!

Yun Zhijuan: [Vote.]

The remaining people in the group expressed their opinions, each with their own thoughts, some supported, others opposed.

In the end, it was actually tied three to three.

There are a total of nine commanders in the organization, excluding Team Two and Team Three, that left seven people, and now six had stated their positions.

Looking around, only Team One hadn’t spoken yet.

Yun Zhijuan: [@Team One Commander God of Death, what do you think?]

Yun Zhijuan’s intention was actually quite simple; since the final decision fell to Team One, he might as well go with the flow to ease the relationship between Team One and Team Two.

As long as Team One said let’s drop it, Team Two wouldn’t have to face the punishment.

He was quite pleased with this plan.

In the end, Lu Mian also silently focused on the avatar of Team One’s God of Death.

If this person had any sense, they’d understand the significance of her blowing up the island, to eliminate future troubles.

He shouldn’t be so…

Before Lu Mian could think further, the God of Death’s avatar sent a reply.
