Chapter 617: Chapter 617: No Matter How Impressive Her Friends Are, They Can’t Be as Formidable as You!
Two subordinates took advantage of Xiao Qimo’s absence to settle these two matters.
Xiao Qimo first picked up the documents that Mo Nie handed over, his slender fingers casually flipping through several pages, quietly listening to Mo Nie’s report.
“Master, speaking of it, this matter is quite strange.
The person who crashed the Shen Family’s stock a while ago was the legendary Mr.
The reason he’s called legendary is because Mr.
Ya Qiao became famous after one battle, with all identity information shrouded in mystery.
Afterwards, he made a few more spectacular deals in the stock market with high-quality blue-chips, earning a fortune.
Ya Qiao’s fame continued to grow, he did not press on with his success but became even more low-profile in the stock circle.
Some say he had made enough money and retired.
Others say he upset certain people’s apple carts and was taken out silently.
There were all sorts of stories, but the legends about Ya Qiao, much like ancient myths, were heartily discussed among stock market enthusiasts.
Unexpectedly, after such a silence, he made a move not long ago.
“Master, on the day Shen Family’s stock hit the limit down, other companies’ stocks hit the limit down during the same period too, including two overseas companies.
Ya Qiao’s doing,” Mo Nie paused, then added, “I’ve checked, and these companies, including the Shen Family, all had significant financial issues.
Frankly, they deserved the limit down and bankruptcy.”
Xiao Qimo, listening to Mo Nie’s report, casually flipped another page of the document, murmuring two names by the edge of his lips.
Seeing Xiao Qimo’s thoughtful and profound expression, Mo Nie followed with an analysis, “Master, in my opinion, Miss Lu has nothing to do with that Ya Qiao.
The Shen Family’s stock hitting limit down is just a coincidence, just in time for Ya Qiao to harvest some illegal capitalists.
Speaking of which, Miss Lu is quite lucky, someone avenged her right on time.
To this day, the Shen Family still believes it was Master Mo who took actionaEUR|”
Xiao Qimo, listening to his ramblings, idly browsed through the document and then closed it.
On paper, there was not a single issue.
Could it really be a coincidence?
He whooshed the documents back into Mo Nie’s arms, losing patience to continue.
His gaze swept to Mo Si who immediately bowed slightly.
“Master, I’ve found out that the mercenary group has been dispatched to the Frigid Zone as environmental ambassadors,” Mo Si reported.
Mo Nie next to him snorted with laughter.
“Mo Si, you make it sound so elegant.
Isn’t it just hard labor in the Arctic and Antarctic, and you call it an environmental ambassadoraEUR| HahahaaEUR|”
Mo Si, not quite understanding, glanced at Mo Nie: Brother Nie, have you forgotten your own assignment to the F Continent?
Laughing at others when you’re no better off himselfaEUR|
Mo Nie coughed dryly, “Being an environmental ambassador is great, contributing to the Earth and whatnot!”
Xiao Qimo, out of patience for their banter, asked, “Who sent them?”
“On the surface, it was the Deputy of the Mercenary Alliance who issued the order.
However, I’ve heard that there are internal claims that IEG intervened in this matter.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qimo leaned back in his chair, his long index finger kneading at his temple, rubbing faster and faster, the headache growing.
“The Mercenary Alliance?
“Master, you are part of IEG, you know the relationship between IEG and the Mercenary Alliance better than I do.”
Xiao Qimo, of course, was well aware.
IEG’s status was revered globally, with few organizations able to match.
As long as a member with a bit of clout in IEG spoke out, others would generally show respect.
The Mercenary Alliance was no exception.
However, while IEG’s status was above the Mercenary Alliance, they could be considered partners.
Because sometimes, IEG also needed to hire mercenaries to carry out orders.
“I just want to know why IEG would get involved in this matter?”
Xiao Qimo’s fingers almost burst his own temples.
He had thought he was getting closer to the truth, but the deeper he investigated, the more he realized there were even higher mountains beyond the ones he had climbed.
His girlfriend had surprised (and scared) him in so many ways.
“It’s possible that Miss Lu knows someone who works at IEG…” Mo Si weakly conjectured.
“You’ve forgotten, when Brother Nie got involved in the mercenary dispute on F Continent, it was Miss Lu who made a call and had someone save Brother Nie.”
He’d never quite believed that.
Did Miss Lu really have such capability, even to know friends in IEG?
“So, when Miss Lu was bullied by mercenaries, of course she’d turn to her friends at IEG for Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
Xiao Qimo finally stopped rubbing his temples, and the two brothers, Mo Si and Mo Nie, also breathed a sigh of relief.
“Master, if you really want to know the truth, why don’t you just ask Miss Lu directly?” Mo Nie suggested with a forthright earnestness.
Xiao Qimo laughed coldly, “Do you want her to find out that I’m conducting a secret investigation on her, or do you want her to see how incompetent I am, unable to find out even these things?”
Mo Nie’s head drooped deeply.
Mo Si nudged Mo Nie, “Master and Miss Lu have chemistry, you know, chemistry.
Maybe Miss Lu is secretly investigating our Master Mo too!”
Downstairs, Lu Mian, who was there with Yun Sang and Ye Jinwen, casually asked a question as well.
“Do you know why Director Qimo has been investigating the kidnapping case?”
Ya Ling was also there, and her interest piqued when she heard mention of the kidnapping case.
Ye Jinwen recalled for a moment, “Maybe Brother Qi likes to do things that are more challenging…”
Yun Sang also couldn’t pin down a specific reason.
“Whatever Xiao Qimo wants to do, he just does it, without saying much.
Sister, why do you suddenly ask?”
Lu Mian, not getting an answer, just waved her hand, “I was just asking casually.”
Ye Jinwen patted Lu Mian’s shoulder, “Little Mianmian, don’t worry.
Maybe before Director Qimo was interested in the kidnapping case for a mission or just out of curiosity, but after he met you, he is pursuing the matter all for your sake.
After speaking, he realized he had spoken some words that Ye Lingxi might not understand.
Considering Lu Mian’s relationship with her, he pointed to Lu Mian and explained to Ya Ling.
“Little Mianmian had it rough before; she was a victim of the AorB kidnapping case!
You must have heard about that case…”
Ya Ling, seeing his oblivious expression, pursed her lips into a bitter smile, her face a complex mix of emotions as she looked away.
Lu Mian cast a glance at Ye Jinwen, lightly clicking her tongue against the roof of her mouth, her expression intriguing.
“Xi Xi, what’s wrong with you?
I can tell right away that something’s off…”
