Chapter 733: Chapter 732 The Fully Involved Lu Bigshot Chapter 733: Chapter 732 The Fully Involved Lu Bigshot Sun Hui: “Miss Lu, did you know? We almost got blown up, but thankfully someone helped us crack the bomb program.”
Lu Mian nodded: I know, I did it.
Wa Zhiqi: “Little Ancestor, did you know? We also got to experience the thrill of the magnetic tunnel. It was so awesomely sour!”
Lu Mian smiled slightly: I know, I tried it.
Mo Fan: “Miss Lu, Miss Lu, did you know? I almost got blown up, and someone saved me?”
Lu Mian paused: I know, I saved you. You were so heavy, and you were clinging onto me.
Wa Zhiqi, vying to speak first, said, “Right, right, right, do you know about Yinye Island? It just went boom, flattened! We stood on the opposite shore, all dumbfounded.”
Lu Mian took a breath: I know, I blew it up. That was close, I almost got discovered.
The three of them babbled on for half a day, yet by unspoken mutual understanding, none of them mentioned anything about the AorB choice. In their hearts, that matter didn’t need to be flaunted.
Lu Mian would never know that her life had hung by a thread, and she would never have to apologize to them.
Several grown men all shared this thought.
Lu Mian also grew more patient, listening gently.
After they finished speaking, confusion appeared on all their foreheads.
“Miss Lu, you are so calm…”
“Ah…” Lu Mian forced a smile, then feigned surprise and shock, “Thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s good you didn’t go, Miss Lu. It was very dangerous!”
“Captain Daine said they found the remains of the core device in the ruins, which indirectly confirms that was their headquarters, right?”
At the mention of Daine, he popped his head in from the doorway where he had just finished ordering food.
“Miss Lu, do you know where Miss Hua Ying went?”
Lu Mian, with a hint of resignation, touched her forehead: I know, I know everything, I sent her off to a beautiful world.
I have to give it to them, these straight guys are so clueless that they still haven’t realized there’s something wrong with Hua Ying.
Of course, these straight guys also had no idea that everything they did involved this serene and detached boss, Lu Mian, throughout the whole process.
It was only when these men were about to leave that they finally realized.
“Miss Lu, do you have a fever?”
These are true straight men.
“Do you want some hot water? I’ll pour it for you!”
“Maybe you should go see Dr. Wang for an IV!”
Fortunately, Lu Mian was even more straightforward: I’m fine. A proper fever can enhance the body’s immune mechanism.
“Miss Lu, you’re really strong.”
The three men and the later arriving Daine left the room one after another.
Just as they walked out, they saw a man in casual dress, with his hands in his pockets, leaning against the corridor window.
Xiao Qimo, now wearing glasses, had once again become that refined, elegant, and composed gentleman.
He gave a warm smile to the men, frightening them into running away like smoke.
Only then did Xiao Qimo leisurely knock on the door to Lu Mian’s room.
After pushing the door open, for a moment he didn’t know how to face Lu Mian.
Would she think he was the root cause of all this?
Would she end up hating him?
Or perhaps, she would simply give him a cold “Let’s break up” in three short words.
She was definitely capable of it.
In just a few seconds, Xiao Qimo ran through all the possibilities, prolonging each second so he could own his girlfriend for one second more.
Until he could no longer delay, and had officially come face to face with Lu Mian, the man looked up.
Lu Mian was sitting on the bed, also looking at him.
“Mianmian, do you have a fever?” Xiao Qimo asked dryly with concern.
Her face was expressionless, but inside, she was a complete mess.
Even Lu Mian, the straightforward woman, could sense his anxiousness.
The girl lowered her eyes, and when she raised them again, a gentle starlight filled her gaze. She opened her arms, “I’m sick, hug~”
That sound nearly took Xiao Qimo’s life.
He didn’t even have time to be surprised; he took two steps in one stride to the side of her bed and held her deeply in his embrace.
“Mianmian… Mianmian…”
The man kept calling her name, while Lu Mian gently patted his back, comforting him like a child who had been overly frightened.
Xiao Qimo hugged her even tighter.
“You saw everything, didn’t you?”
“I saw it, I know, I’m not angry,” Lu Mian said firmly.
How could she let down his feelings when he had so resolutely chosen to let her live in that moment?
What does it matter that Mo particles were Qimo’s invention?
Was the person who originally invented weapons a criminal?
She really wasn’t angry.
And as for that choice between A or B, she chose to silently remember it, unseen by them.
It was the gentleness the world gave back to her.
There was a happy event at the office today, and the noon party was exceptionally lively.
Xiao Qimo asked many times how she had fallen ill and developed a fever, and Lu Mian told him she felt down, caught a few cold breezes, and then started to have a fever.
After all, Wang Xintong would never dare reveal the truth in this lifetime, so no one would know that she’d been out.
She was the good girl who obediently practiced calligraphy in Director Qimo’s eyes.
Xiao Qimo felt even more guilty; it surely must have been because of his letter that she felt bad.
With these thoughts, he became even more gentle and tender towards Lu Mian.
Of course, Xiao Qimo was still very strict about her not drinking alcohol.
In the meantime, Captain Daine’s phone rang – it was his superior.
Disliking the noisy interior, Daine went to the hall to answer the call.
“Captain Daine, please hand over the case you’re dealing with to IEG as soon as possible.”
“Ah? Leader, why?” Daine felt like the fruits of victory were being snatched away just as he was beginning to enjoy them.
True, they had only found back five victims, including Dr. Hua, and it wasn’t them who had completely taken down the criminal’s lair.
“This is a decision from above, you just transfer it. Don’t worry, the credit due to your team will not be taken by anyone else.”
“There are no buts, the five hundred million bounty from the international police was also sponsored by them.”
“…Okay.” Money talks, loud and clear.
Daine had no choice but to follow his superior’s orders and just obey.
He hung up and returned to the dining room in frustration.
Wa Zhiqi noticed his dark expression and asked curiously, “Captain Daine, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing, just don’t know why IEG wants to take over the case at this time…”
He muttered to himself, but it didn’t seem to be a big issue; after all, he had kept in mind the credit due to everyone.
Perhaps IEG’s sudden involvement was due to the explosive incident on Yinye Island, which had caused a huge sensation.
Daine didn’t think much of it and continued to enjoy the party.
Meanwhile, Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo were watching everyone have a good time.
Both of their phones suddenly vibrated in their pockets.
The special vibration sound made Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo each pause momentarily. But the merry chaos of singing and dancing inside the restaurant easily drowned it out.
The man patted the girl’s shoulder, “I’m going to the restroom.”
Lu Mian couldn’t have been happier, “Okay, I’ll go rest on the sofa for a while.”
