The Master's Mask Unveiled Again Chapter 481

Chapter 481: Chapter 480: Do you want to see your brother wear pretty underwear every day?

Throughout this time, Xiao Qimo had never done anything to hurt her, and she knew it.

Just the last time Ya Ling had an incident, she was about to blurt out some words, and now that Xiao Qimo knew her identity, her heart actually felt lighter.

Now that it was out, she had nothing to really care about.

However, she quickly thoughtaEUR
Xiao Qimo was so clever, that by simply looking at the interpersonal relationships around her, he could easily deduce who the five victims of the kidnapping were.

With that thought, Lu Mian pursed her lips, her feelings somewhat complex.

This was a sensation she had never experienced before.

In the past, aside from being kind to her friends, she never had such complex and wonderful emotions, nor would she spend extra thought on entangling feelings.

And now?

With Xiao Qimo by her side, it was like having someone who could share her burdens, and it seemed like there were more and more things for her to consideraEUR
Lu Mian climbed the stairs slowly, not noticing the man coming down from the front.

When she looked up, she was met with a face exuding a good mood and arrogance.

The eyebrows were raised carelessly and the lips curled with a mischievous charm, all carrying the distinct aura unique to Yun Sang.

As the other person raised his eyebrows, she also instinctively lifted hers.

Yun Sang stood a step higher, making himself look even taller, while Lu Mian leaned against the railing.

“Is there something you need?”
Yun Sang seemed to be in a good mood, his demeanor spirited.

“Little sister, are you interested in joining our team?” His tone was like that of an enthusiastic sales rep, even carrying a hint of inexplicable eagerness to please.

Lu Mian shook her head, decisively refusing, and straightened up to walk past him up the stairs.

Yun Sang immediately followed, “Sister, don't be so heartless!

My underwear looks so cool, don't you want to see it every day?” Uh…

Lu Mian opened her mouth, placing her left hand on her chin, and thought carefully, “ActuallyaEUR I can buy it myselfaEUR ”
Oh, hehe!

Yun Sang silently rolled his eyes to himself.

It truly was the Universe's Lu Mian, as Ye Jinwen put it, capable of quipping at heaven, earth, and the air itselfaEUR”one sentence could leave someone utterly speechless.

But Lu Mian didn't consider that the underwear would surely depend on who was wearing it, right?

How could anything he wore not look good?!

Of course, Yun Sang did not share these thoughts with her; he had approached her today simply because he couldn't wait to bring her into the fold after guessing her identity.

If Lu Mian joined them, along with himself and Xiao Qimo, their Shadow Hunting TeamaEUR
Yun Sang dared not continue the thought; the vision was too beautiful.

Their opponents might end up crying as they left the stage…

Yet, the mere thought of such a scene filled him with an indescribable excitement and anticipation, awakening a passion long dormant.

“Little sister, think about it.”
Lu Mian seemed to not have heard Yun Sang directly call her by name very often; he always addressed her with 'little girl' or 'little sister.'
From the very first meeting, he had called her little sister, and it was unclear if he called all girls that.

“Not interested.”
Actually, Lu Mian was being unjust to Yun Sang in this respect.

After all, with Xiao Qimo's strict team rules, how could Yun Sang have had the chance to interact with girls?

When Yun Sang first called her little sister, it was simply because she seemed young due to her facial features, and he had blurted it out naturally.

Yun Sang saw Lu Mian's firm refusal, yet he still wouldn't give up, following her several steps and even throwing out a blockbuster offer.

“Little sister, if you join our team, we can search together for the world's top hackers.

Don't you want to have a match with them?”
Those in the cybersecurity industry, especially those at the peak, all yearn for a chance to match wits with those elusive hackers whose identities are shrouded in mystery and who are notoriously hard to find.

Lu Mian paused for a moment, somewhat distracted.

She remembered the information she had learned from her master.

Her master had said that, in addition to herself, there were two other hackers in the world capable of erasing someone's identity without leaving any trace.

Although her master was not much of a person, the information he provided could be trusted one hundred percent.

The hallmark of IEG was exactly that: Either it was true information, or there was no information at all.

The old man had once said that he wouldn't allow her to get involved in the kidnapping case, and therefore, he was unwilling to disclose any information regarding the identities of the other two hackers, so she had to rely on her own strength to investigate.

The last time she had been to the IEG Branch Building in Jinjing, she had checked and found nothing.

So, she was even more determined to become the leader; being just one rank lower meant so many fewer privileges.

Now, she could only take it upon herself to find these two people, one of whom might be related to the kidnapping case.

The recent incident with Gu Jingyi was a perfect example.

At that moment, Yun Zhijuan, who was making a reservation at a restaurant in Jinjing, felt a sudden shiver.

Ah, that magical shiver.

It must be his beloved disciple thinking of him!

Mian Xiaobao, just wait patiently for your master to find you!

aEUR”aEUR”
Lost in thought, Lu Mian didn't notice Yun Sang's slender hands waving in front of her face,
“What are you thinking about, little sister?

Stop thinking and just agree to your brother, will you?”
His constant reference to 'brother' and 'sister', paired with his mischievous expression, sounded smooth enough, but it really lacked any persuasive power.

Lu Mian didn't respond at all.

She merely brushed off Yun Sang dismissively, and when she returned to Xiao Qimo's room, she let out a silent sigh of relief.

She found that this team captain could really be clingy at times!

“What's wrong?” Xiao Qimo came over from the direction of the desk, his eyes soft with tenderness as he looked at her somewhat uncomfortable face and asked.

“Ah, it's nothing…” Lu Mian shook her head, then asked, “Did you know about Ye Jinwen getting married to Shen Yixin soon?” Xiao Qimo nodded.

“The Shen Family is very eager to marry.

The Ye Family also wants them to marry soon.

I can't interfere in this matter.”
Lu Mian didn't quite understand why he explained that last part, as it wasn't something a third party could get involved in, but after thinking about it for a moment, she realized that Xiao Qimo had already sensed something, hadn't he?

Indeed, she couldn't hide anything from his discerning eyes.

While Lu Mian was lost in thought, Xiao Qimo had gone to his desk and found a piece of white paper from the drawer.

The neatly folded, clean sheet of paper was carefully opened by his graceful fingers, finally laying flat in front of Lu Mian.

Lu Mian remembered that this was the portrait of Ya Ling that he had drawn for Ye Jinwen, which Xiao Qimo had later taken.

This man really did know everything.

Xiao Qimo smiled, casually counted names as he pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up, nonchalantly.

“Sui Yuan, Yuren, and the one Ye Jinwen is so eager to find, plus you, out of the original five victims, I've already found four.” As for the last one, he truly had no leads.

But his intuition told him that this last person…

was critical.

Who could this person be?
