Chapter 479: Chapter 478: Falling off the Horse Again: I am Number Thirteen Chapter 479: Chapter 478: Falling off the Horse Again: I am Number Thirteen Peng Jun held the phone in his hands, staring at the now dark screen.
“Who did this?
Daring to hack into our 1515 Battle Team!”
——
Zitan Pavilion.
Ye Jinwen, who had been busily moving around the room, suddenly started shouting frantically in the villa, “Qi Ge, Qi Ge, Thirteen, I’ve captured Number Thirteen’s trace again!”
“You’ll never guess where he is!
It’s incredible, he’s right here in our villa!”
As Ye Jinwen wildly announced this news to Xiao Qimo, the latter was talking to his teammates.
On hearing these words, Xiao Qimo’s eyebrows slightly raised in a calm deanor.
Number Thirteen…
The Number Thirteen he had been searching for so long…
He should have been overjoyed at hearing this news, but now, all that seed to remain was his composure.
Although many teammates didn’t understand the significance of Number Thirteen, Yun Sang did, and once even contemplated luring Number Thirteen to join their team.
It was said this mysterious person, Number Thirteen, with his trendous ability, had single-handedly conquered an illegal laboratory with an exceptionally secure and potent defense system.
Such a talent would be absolutely suitable to take his place in the team.
However, Yun Sang had also inquired with Xiao Qimo, and none could trace Number Thirteen’s whereabouts unless he decided to reveal himself.
Now, hearing Ye Jinwen say so, a flicker of hope reignited in Yun Sang’s heart, “You an, Number Thirteen himself is right now within Zitan Pavilion?”
“Correct!
The signal is very strong this ti!”
After Ye Jinwen finished speaking, Yun Sang imdiately dashed out of the hall like a whirlwind, passed through the courtyard, and locked the villa’s main gate.
“OK, since he’s inside the villa, he won’t be able to leave if I don’t open the door.
ƝօνǤο.сο
I want to see who this Number Thirteen really is.”
As he spoke, Xiao Qimo had already left the others behind and turned to walk to his room.
With each step closer to his room, his heart beat faster and faster.
His pace was heavy and slow.
By the ti he reached the door, his fingertips were slightly cold, and he felt an inexplicable nervousness.
Finally, he decisively pushed the door open.
As usual, he saw the girl quietly staring at the computer by the desk.
She was sitting there, lazily leaning against the chair with her hands casually resting on the keyboard, appearing entirely unremarkable.
Occasionally, she would daydream or drink a glass of milk.
When the girl saw him enter, her beautiful almond eyes blinked, and she greeted him, “You’re back?
So soon?”
Not as fast as you are, Xiao Qimo silently added to himself.
He approached her step by step, and under Lu Mian’s sowhat surprised gaze, he stubbornly took her laptop and idly flicked his slender fingers across it a few tis.
An interface appeared on the screen, one that Lu Mian hadn’t had the chance to delete.
It was her login trace, and the na of the user was clearly displayed.
Thirteen.
He knew now.
He understood completely.
Lu Mian hugged her knees, curling up in her chair.
As she saw Xiao Qimo flip to that login page, she realized what it ant.
“Ah oh…
you found out.”
Her voice was light, with a hint of playfulness as if she was a child caught doing sothing wrong, even carrying a bit of apology, her almond eyes twinkling endlessly.
Xiao Qimo took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions as he quietly looked at Lu Mian and asked, “What were you doing just now?”
Lu Mian was quite frank, “The coach who just left said he had the dirt on the Shadow Hunting Team, right?
I didn’t like that, so I hacked their computers and phones.”
Her tone was as light as a cloud, as simple and neat as brewing a cup of coffee, without even a blink.
But Xiao Qimo knew just how difficult it was to breach the other party’s server!
Initially, Huan Yan could only start from Ning Xiang, and even given decades more, they might not be able to break through the Shadow Hunting Team’s internal computer server.
Yet this girl, in the few minutes they had been chatting, had hacked the other’s computer, and even their phone.
If she hadn’t caused such a scene, maybe he wouldn’t have been able to catch her red-handed!
“You, you…” Xiao Qimo’s myriad of emotions condensed into three words of helplessness.
Although he had suspected before and had touched the edges, now that the truth was laid out so clearly before him, he found he still couldn’t calmly accept it.
Number Thirteen, the girl who had saved the other four victims with her own abilities, the girl who erased all traces of victims’ information without a trace, the top hacker who even IEG took special notice of.
Half a year ago, without any sign, she appeared lazily by his side.
Back then, he was still searching high and low for that person.
He was angry, yet he wanted to laugh.
Tossing the laptop aside, he took a step forward.
He stretched out his arm, gently embracing Lu Mian.
The girl remained sitting cross-legged, her head nestled against his abdon, against his firm abdominal muscles.
At that mont, the girl was like a cat, sitting there quietly and softly.
After maintaining this position for about two minutes, a slow sentence finally floated up from the top of Lu Mian’s head.
In a deep, hoarse male voice tinged with helplessness, he said,
“During those dark days, it must have been very tough for you.”
Lu Mian’s heart trembled lightly, but she didn’t speak.
Between the two of them, a kind of indescribable tenderness flowed slowly.
Lu Mian hung her head slightly, leaning on Xiao Qimo’s abdon.
Finally letting down most of her disguise and guard, her voice drifted distantly, “Yes, it was tough.”
The man held her even tighter.
He slightly lifted his head, gently closing his eyes, his curled eyelashes trembling under the gold-rimd glasses.
After a while, he breathed out deeply,
“I’m sorry…”
“Hmm?” Lu Mian looked up slightly, only to see his sowhat stern jawline, such a smooth and flawless curve that one could not help but want to…
Just as she was about to reach out her hand to trace the contours of his face, a gust of wind suddenly swept into the room from outside.
Lu Mian quickly withdrew her small hand, hiding it underneath herself.
Her eyes blinked, flickering and uncertain.
Xiao Qimo also slowly took a step back, squinting his cold eyes towards the doorway.
Ye Jinwen rushed into the room like a whirlwind and, upon seeing the two people so close by the desk,
yelped in shock, belatedly covering his eyes.
“Seventh Brother, I apologize for interrupting!”
He fled the scene as if running for his life, but that refined man stopped him with an extrely heavy voice: “Stop right there.”
Ye Jinwen: Seventh Brother, I’m sorry!
It wasn’t on purpose!
I didn’t know you two had progressed so far!
“Seventh Brother, I didn’t see anything, I assure you.”
Protesting too much.
“What’s the matter?!” Xiao Qimo asked through clenched teeth.
