Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Are You a Professional?
The slender girl slipped away and pressed down on the hat over her head, her palm-sized face completely obscured by sunglasses and a mask.
She briskly walked around row after row of seats, heading towards the airport’s exit.
However, before she could leave the airport’s main hall, her black backpack was yanked forcefully over her shoulder.
Narrowing her eyes, the girl stopped in her tracks and turned to see Mo Si, his face tear-streaked and pitiful.
“I said I still had some things to take care of; you could’ve gone back to Wucheng first.”
How could that possibly be okay!
Mo had given strict orders to protect Miss Lu in every possible way.
No sooner had he and Miss Lu left Mr.
Mo’s sight than she took off.
Even a hundred lives wouldn’t be enough to compensate for this mess.
Mo Si was almost kneeling before Lu Mian now, “No, I can’t let you go, you really mustn’t leave!”
His voice was so wretched that the passing travelers couldn’t help but cast curious glances at the two of them.
Lu Mian quickly pressed down on her hat again.
“Stand up straight and talk properly.”
“Miss Lu…” Mo Si insisted, clutching Lu Mian’s backpack, shaking his head desperately: “Please, don’t go!
If you leave, how can I live on…”
The travelers looked at Lu Mian as if they were watching a heartbreaker.
“Girl, I think this young man is quite sincere.
Give him a chance!” An enthusiastic auntie was online to mediate.
Upon hearing this, Mo Si completely dropped to his knees and hurriedly turned to explain: “Auntie, you’re mistaken, it’s not what you think!”
Mo heard this, not even a thousand lives would be enough to make up for it!
The auntie shook her head regretfully as she left; she didn’t forget to explain to the people around her: “This young man is too honest, still protecting his girlfriend even now!”
“Such men are rare; you should treasure him, young lady!”
Lu Mian cast a sideways glance at Mo Si, “Let’s talk somewhere private.”
“Yes, of course, Miss Lu!”
The two found a secluded corner.
Lu Mian was determined to leave and even thought of an excuse for Mo Si: “Mr.
Mo Si, I fully understand your predicament.
So, you can just tell Director Qimo that I have already returned to Wucheng.
If you don’t tell, and I don’t tell, he won’t know.”
Mo Si was struck by a thunderbolt, struggling to move his mouth.
“Miss Lu…” he began grievously: “Do you know why Mo Nie was punished and sent to F Continent?”
Lu Mian impatiently flicked the brim of her baseball cap.
Mo assigned him to protect you, but he did not do so and lied to Mr.
Mo that you were studying.
Mo came back, he found out that you had taken the day off.”
Mo Si felt that his current predicament was eerily similar to Mo Nie’s back then.
Suddenly, Lu Mian understood.
Back then, she had asked for leave to go to Hong City, later returning for a dinner, even seeing Mo Nie off.
But none of that was important.
Lu Mian took off her hat and shook her hair free aEUR” the fine, soft strands gently fluttering.
Her fingertips atop the cap, she twirled it in a careless, casual circle.
“Actually, I don’t like using this method.”
Mo Si didn’t quite get it; he just felt that the way she twirled her cap was cool and dashing, really rad.
Mo Si, if Director Qimo finds out, I will protect you,” Lu Mian said with a gentle smile.
As the cap spun faster and faster, Mo Si’s gaze grew more and more vacant.
Lu Mian sighed, feeling it was about time, and put her cap back on.
Before leaving, she stuffed two things into Mo Si’s hand, which he obediently accepted.
By the time Lu Mian had completely disappeared into the crowd, Mo Si snapped back to reality.
Staring blankly at the empty surroundings, he was dumbfounded.
What just happened, how did he disappear in the blink of an eye?
Then he looked at the items in his hand: a book and a form.
The book’s title was: “A Little Lie Technique Every Day”
The form was a daily schedule and timetable.
Mo Si sat down on the ground with a thump, crying like an emoticon.
He frantically pulled out Xiao Qimo’s mobile number and was about to send a message to snitch, when a notification from the chat app popped up first.
It was a video sent by Lu Mian.
Mo Si clicked on it with trembling fingers.
“Miss, I think this young man is quite sincere, give him a chance!”
“It’s rare to find such a man, young lady should cherish him!”
This was a video maliciously edited by Miss Lu!
He was being threatened!
For the first time, Mo Si realized that Miss Lu and Mr.
Mo were essentially the same kind of people, both were the type who would be deadly when they got scheming!
Mo Si put aside the thought of snitching and with heavy steps, boarded the plane back to Wucheng.
After Lu Mian left the airport, she gave Ya Ling a call, briefly explaining her situation.
She had already prepped Ya Ling, telling her that she would be away for a while and had arranged everything accordingly.
This call was purely to report her itinerary.
“No, it’s too dangerous for you to act alone,” Ya Ling naturally did not approve, initially thinking that Xiao Qimo might be able to keep Lu Mian in check, but she didn’t expect Lu Mian to still pull a fast one.
But Lu Mian was determined.
This was a rare opportunity.
With Director Qi not by her side, she had fewer restrictions and could cause trouble with abandon.
“Alright then,” Ya Ling couldn’t persuade her, “I’ll recommend someone to you, if you must act, then do it with someone from the international police.
Otherwise, I, Yuanyuan and the others, really won’t be at ease.
Agree to this first, and then I will let you go.”
“Okay,” Lu Mian agreed.
Ya Ling threw her an address immediately.
Wa Zhiqi lay on the bed, pressing down on his wound; it no longer hurt.
His physical constitution was strong, and he recovered quickly.
What would take others at least half a month to recuperate from, he was already mostly healed in less than a week.
Eager to return to the office, he worried about the case.
While he was bored out of his mind doing push-ups in the hospital bed, a young girl dressed as a nurse pushed a medicine cart over to him.
“Time for your injection.”
Wa Zhiqi collapsed back onto the bed and slowly slid off, presenting his body.
He didn’t need IV infusions at this point but required regular anti-inflammatory injections.
The young nurse’s eyes narrowed slightly, pausing in her movement.
Wa Zhiqi, oblivious to the oddity, lamented, “Nurse, do you know how many more days I need to stay?”
“Go ask the attending doctor.”
To ask Doctor Ye and Miss Ya Ling?
But after waiting a long time without feeling the expected action, he felt something was off.
Turning to look at the nurse, he suddenly felt a pain in his butt and was dumbfounded.
Before the injection was even finished, Wa Zhiqi leaped two meters away, “Are you even a professional?!”
“…” Lu Mian, nonchalantly putting down the syringe, calmly removed her mask, “Hello, Captain Wa.”
