Chapter 711: Chapter 710: Not Letting Mianmian Suffer the Slightest Grievance Chapter 711: Chapter 710: Not Letting Mianmian Suffer the Slightest Grievance Lu Mian’s tone was extremely cold, her gaze firm and chilly, “I’ll ask one last time, did you do all these things?”
Lucy’s smile did not diminish, “What do you think?”
She said no more, satisfied with her smile, she was dragged away by the guards.
After taking a few steps, Lucy raised her voice and said as she walked away: “Lu Mian, do you know how to weave a perfect lie?
Seventy percent truth, thirty percent falsity, that’s enough!
It’s true for liars, for salespeople, and for love.”
Seventy percent truth, thirty percent falsity.
Lu Mian smirked devilishly at Lucy, calmly watching her leave.
Heh, who doesn’t know that?
Lucy turned to look at Lu Mian, and her gaze collided with Lu Mian’s small smile.
Suddenly, Lucy, who felt assured of her win, felt a chill run through her veins, totally unable to discern whether Lu Mian believed her at all.
But, it didn’t matter.
Her mission was complete, she had done it perfectly.
As long as it was for the grand vision of the sir, a small sacrifice was okay.
When Lu Mian returned to the main building, Daine and the others were already in a meeting.
She did not go in to disturb them but went to the infirmary instead.
It was the same nurse from last night’s shift, who received her enthusiastically but with a touch of fear.
“Get me some more gauze and cotton swabs.”
Wang Xintong was sitting in the office.
After what happened last night, Lu Mian couldn’t be bothered to greet her.
Wang Xintong, still overshadowed by last night’s events, didn’t dare provoke Lu Mian either; they ignored each other.
The nurse brought extra items, put them in a bag, and handed it to Lu Mian.
“Oh, and some band-aids, please.”
The nurse stole a glance at Lu Mian and got lost in the view, accidentally bumping her forehead.
As she got up rubbing her head, she noticed Lu Mian was looking at her with a gentle smile.
The nurse’s face turned bright red.
Ahhh, Miss Lu has such a lovely smile!
Ahhh, Miss Lu is so beautiful!
You seem to be in a good mood today!” The nurse’s face was almost like a red apple.
Lu Mian twirled a piece of hair around her finger, and when she noticed she had twirled it a couple of times more than necessary, she suddenly remembered it had been a long time since she last had a haircut.
She absentmindedly played with her hair and gave a small smile, “Pretty good.”
“Did something nice happen?”
Caught a spy, does that count?”
The nurse looked up at Lu Mian with adoring eyes, “Wow, that’s amazing?!
Who was it, do we know them?”
“She had always been lurking in the dark at the office; you probably don’t know her.
And this spy was one of the core figures among the kidnappers, a hacker.” Lu Mian said casually.
Wang Xintong’s ears twitched, and she buried her head, scribbling something furiously.
She always felt that Lu Mian said these things to mock her.
Even if Lu Mian cleared herself of suspicion, so what?
Wasn’t that to be expected?
The nurse showered Lu Mian with several compliments, while Lu Mian, holding the plastic bag, walked briskly toward Sikong Jian’s room.
Wang Xintong peeked out of the door, “Tsk, a villain basking in her success!”
Lu Mian, carrying fresh gauze and cotton swabs, delivered them to Sikong Jian’s room.
Sikong Jian had wrapped himself up tightly, seemingly even colder than the cold-fearing Xiao Qimo.
“How’s your knee?” Lu Mian walked straight toward his room.
Sikong Jian, unusually, stopped her with an especially strange tone, “Mianmian, you shouldn’t just walk into a boy’s room!”
Lu Mian’s nostrils flared slightly as she detected a pungent scent, and she looked up at him with odd curiosity, “What is it that I can’t see?”
“Ahem.” Sikong Jian flushed and pushed her out, “How about no children allowed?”
Conceding, Lu Mian tossed the stuff into Sikong Jian’s arms and turned to leave, muttering discontentedly as she went, “I’m twenty, not a child.”
Watching her leave, Sikong Jian closed the door again and let out a sigh of relief.
Touching the wound on his shoulder, he knew this couldn’t go on, Lu Mian would discover it sooner or later.
He had heard that Xiao Qimo had some experimental medicine that could heal scars…
The agency finally had a stable night.
Sun Hui also relaxed for once; after all, catching H was great news for everyone.
Hua Ying somehow got wind of this and made a special trip to Daine, offering a few words of congratulations.
Daine reassured her, soon they should be able to save her father.
Hua Ying smiled sweetly and obediently.
But the next day, the news came from the detention center that Lucy had a severe infection in her wound and didn’t make it through the night.
It really wasn’t the agency’s fault for mistreating her; they had actually found a nurse to care for her wound.
Lucy’s failure to survive was likely due to her own lack of will to live.
Everyone felt it was such a pity, as they had not been able to extract any useful information from her.
Lu Mian also felt disappointed, very disappointed.
That day, Wa Zhiqi, holding the new investigation results of twenty suspected disappearance points, found Xiao Qimo.
This was the latest progress in the case, and Wa Zhiqi felt it was somewhat thorny.
“I’ve used all the channels I could, but the information I found is still limited,” Wa Zhiqi lamented to Xiao Qimo, “Mr.
Qimo, I think I have to visit IEG.”
Xiao Qimo looked up in the midst of his busy schedule.
Visiting IEG was not a problem; indeed, some things could only be found there, which was why he initially joined IEG, to assist in the investigation of the kidnapping cases.
But the problem was that he was currently deploying an operation plan and couldn’t leave.
Asking Yun Zhijuan alone wouldn’t work, given Yun Zhijuan’s attitude of not letting him meddle with the kidnapping case, they would definitely not tell him any useful information.
Before Xiao Qimo could say anything, Wa Zhiqi already felt a bit awkward, his toes tapping against his shoe sole he muttered softly, “I’m not too keen on finding Doctor Wang.
After the way she spoke about Miss Lu, I don’t want to have much to do with her.
But unfortunately, she holds key contacts with IEG…
“Wang Xintong?” Xiao Qimo put down his pen.
Did she really think everyone needed her that badly?
Wa Zhiqi mumbled to himself.
“If I swallow my pride and ask her, it’s not impossible.
But I think, she definitely won’t be willing to take me and Miss Lu to IEG together.”
After all, things had become so tense before, and recent encounters were limited to a simple greeting; they no longer had the previous close cooperation.
Xiao Qimo frowned, “You want to take Lu Mian with you?”
“Miss Lu has a sharp mind, she can help remember things,” Wa Zhiqi said, rubbing his head with tension.
“Forget it, I’ll think of another way.”
Xiao Qimo watched him leave, and after a moment, took out a blank card from the drawer.
He swiped on his phone, input some programs into the card’s interior, then called Mo Fan over.
“Give this card to Captain Wa.
Let him take it to IEG.”
Wa Zhiqi could endure hardship if necessary, but he wouldn’t let Mianmian suffer the slightest grievance.
