Chapter 260: Chapter 259: Has One Team Fallen out of Favor?
The meeting room was very quiet.
The other seven commanders were all intently examining the mission details when they suddenly felt a biting, bone-chilling breeze and hugged themselves. Amidst their busyness, they looked towards the source of the cool air, all quite puzzled.
What’s wrong with Team One?
Xiao Qimo didn’t reply to Yun Zhijuan anymore.
His hands on the keyboard slowly clenched into fists. It took a lot of restraint to not punch his own leader in the face.
He had rushed all the way here, just to be sent on a blind date?
Ha, that’s so Yun Zhijuan!
He looked intensely at the impish man in the main seat, “clack” shut his laptop, and stood up impatiently.
Team Three shuddered, slightly shifted sideways, and asked with raised head, “One, what’s wrong with you?”
Through his mask, Xiao Qimo released a cold front as if carrying hailstones, with a voice heavy with dissatisfaction, “Since there’s nothing for me, I’ll leave first,” and decisively left behind the others.
“Hey—” Yun Zhijuan had not finished typing yet and quickly reached out to stop him, “Wait, I haven’t finished talking…”
However, the man only left him an icy, ruthless silhouette. A gust of frosty wind swept through the meeting room, which then returned to calmness.
Yun Zhijuan snorted angrily, What a terrible temper!
Did he set him up on a blind date to harm him?
He doesn’t listen to the wisdom of the elders!
Yun Zhijuan, in his irritation, pushed away the laptop in front of him, tapped on the desk, and stood up from his seat.
At this moment, he had lost his previous mischievous demeanor, his eyes shimmering with a firm and serious glow, coldly saying, “Alright, now let’s publicly discuss the details of this mission.”
The speed at which his face changed was unparalleled.
Why does it feel like Team One has fallen out of favor…
Although Lu Mian did not attend the meeting, she still sent a polite message to Yun Zhijuan, asking him what he needed her for this time.
Yun Zhijuan was previously cryptic about having a major, very important matter, but when he replied to her later, he dismissed her with just three words, “It’s nothing.”
She decided, from now on, she would never listen to the old coot’s nonsense again.
Since there was nothing urgent now, Lu Mian saw no need to stay. Despite her lingering grievances against Old Yun, she was still concerned about him and thought that seeing him alive and kicking was worth the trip after all.
Moreover, her trip to Hong City had unexpectedly allowed her to meet Yuren’s sister.
She had intended to just head back, but midway to the airport, she turned back to the hospital where Liang Xueyan was.
She couldn’t rest easy; even if just for Yuren’s sake, she had to take a look.
Familiar with the hospital, she inquired at the nurse’s station and easily found Liang Xueyan’s ward. She meant only to have a distant look, but as she approached the ward, she overheard Wang’s sister speaking on the phone around the corner.
“Madam, it’s a birth!” she covered the phone, her voice soft, as if not wanting Liang Xueyan in the ward to hear.
“It’s a girl…” Wang’s sister lowered her voice, awkwardly consoling, “Madam, don’t be sad, you’ll eventually hold a grandson… if not this time, then the next…”
“Yes, I’ve already notified the master; he hasn’t come over yet.”
The person on the other end seemed to say something, and Wang’s sister nodded repeatedly, looking earnest and responsible.
“Madam, rest assured, I won’t let the mistress disturb the master. The most crucial affair can’t compare to the master’s meeting with the IEG commander!” Wang’s sister looked pleased, “But there’s good news from the master’s side, he says he’s found out where the IEG meeting is taking place! He’s already downstairs waiting…”
