Chapter 717: Chapter 716: Had a quarrel?

Lu Mian casually draped the towel over her head, occasionally scrubbing it roughly.

The action looked a bit comical, but when Lu Mian did it, there was a kind of lazy chic beauty to it—beauty indeed breeds arrogance.

“It’s nothing,” Lu Mian said indifferently.

Wa Zhiqi followed her every step, honestly confessing the entire process and apologetically said, “But I accidentally wasted one chance…

Miss Lu, hit , scold , I really didn’t an it, I didn’t know the security check was ti-sensitive.

It seems that if you don’t enter within ten seconds, it automatically becos invalid.”

Lu Mian paused for a mont, “I see.”

She didn’t take it to heart, “Just be careful next ti.”

Wa Zhiqi: …

What?

There’s a next ti?

Miss Lu, do you dare to tell the truth, how many such cards do you actually have?!

Or, just introduce to your big shot friend!

eting room.

Xiao Qimo, Lu Mian, and others were all present.

Lu Mian’s hair was still damp when Xiao Qimo very consciously picked up the towel, gently wiping it for her, his movents far more gentle than Lu Mian’s.

The girl just sat lazily on the arm of the sofa, fully enjoying the service from Jinjing’s Lord Mo.

The man stood behind her, drying her hair while conducting the eting.

Everyone: Issued silent protests.

Sikong Jian pretended to be blind, seeing nothing.

Wa Zhiqi tried to ignore the two flaunting their affection, and repeated the findings of the investigation.

Daine had been looking forward to the information Wang Xintong had investigated, but since Wang Xintong hadn’t found anything, she felt embarrassed and thus did not attend the eting.

After so analysis and discussion, they finally locked down two locations out of twenty potential sites.

Xuefeng Mountain and Yinye Island.

Both were remote places with more and stronger magnetic field fluctuations.

However, as these two places were one in the north and one in the south, too far apart, they could only make so sacrifices and weigh the options.

Daine felt sowhat sentintal.

“If they really can travel through magnetic portals, achieving spatial and temporal jumps, how can we, with our re mortal bodies, compete with them?”

They knew from the start of this case that it was not ordinary.

Through the analysis of the abduction case, it beca clear that this was a case that went beyond the understanding of many people.

Although there are so bizarre disappearances in reality that remain unsolved, even classified as supernatural phenona, as Daine began to unravel so of the mystery, he felt that he knew too little, far too little about this world.

It was also because of the great difficulty in solving the case that the abduction case no.

726 had been transferred to IEG.

Perhaps IEG was also struggling with it, thus putting the matter on hold for the ti being.

And now, facing similar lost cases, Daine was quite worried for a mont.

He glanced silently at Lu Mian, hoping that she, as a victim, could provide so experience.

Lu Mian touched her chin, speaking lightly, “I heard they have a kind of protective gear that can prevent the human body from being torn apart in the magnetic tunnels.”

Sikong Jian glanced at her, a sharp pain in his heart.

All the “experintal subjects” wore protective gear, except her.

Therefore, in Lu Mian’s words, she only used the term “I heard.”

Sikong Jian continued on from Lu Mian’s words, further explaining to the others, “The equipnt has a special substance that can protect the human body.”

“Mr.

Sikong, how do you know this?”

Sikong Jian coughed, “Being with the president, you tend to know a bit more.”

Everyone expressed understanding.

Sikong Jian silently said sorry to the president whose na he had just invoked.

“A special substance…” Lu Mian bit her fingernail, unclear about this particular matter.

She didn’t notice Sikong Jian’s gaze, which had settled between her neck and shoulder.

On the other hand, Xiao Qimo who was drying Lu Mian’s hair noticed Sikong Jian’s small movent, and the man, quite displeased, stepped forward, using his body to block Sikong Jian’s quite impolite stare.

“I will prepare the equipnt,” Xiao Qimo said.

“Mr.

Qimo, can you manage that?”

“That’s fantastic!

As expected, Mr.

Qimo is amazing.”

Xiao Qimo pursed his lips, faced Lu Mian’s slightly puzzled gaze, and laid the towel he was holding on her head, unusually avoiding her eyes.

Lu Mian: …Childish.

Sikong Jian let out a light snicker.

After the eting, Xiao Qimo turned his phone signal back on, with a multitude of missed calls, text ssages, and various notifications awaiting him.

He didn’t bother with them, just making one phone call.

“Send a batch of Mo-particle protective suits here, I’ll text you the address,” he instructed.

The other party responded respectfully.

Xiao Qimo asked further, “How are things at the group?”

“All is as usual,” the tone of the other person was quite confident, “Those old tycoons, which year do they not fancifully compete for the top spot on the list?

But when it cos to financial strength, you dare to claim second place, no one dares to claim first.”

Xiao Qimo wasn’t much concerned with these matters; knowing that everything was running smoothly on their end, he hung up the call.

After his covert arrangents, all of the team’s equipnt was soon fully prepared, and no one asked where these items ca from, everyone consciously kept silent.

With the power Mr.

Qimo had, it wasn’t surprising he could provide such equipnt.

Only Sikong Jian’s eyes grew more and more strange.

Xiao Qimo went to Lu Mian’s room and saw the girl sitting at the desk, quietly practicing her calligraphy, which softened his heart.

“Mianmian,” he walked straight to the desk, leaning against it and glanced at her script.

“Haven’t found the feel yet?”

“Mhmm,” Lu Mian was a bit frustrated.

“No worries, take it slow.

It’s okay if it’s not perfect,” he said.

Turning his grandfather into a fan was not sothing he would genuinely fuss about.

Lu Mian put down the brush, “How do you have ti to co here?”

“I just finished distributing the equipnt to them, but they have no won’s sizes ready, and it’s too late to rush the job now, so I ca to tell you,” he explained.

Lu Mian understood what he ant.

The equipnt wasn’t the main issue—it was—

“You don’t want to join in on the action with you guys, do you?” Her expression cooled, she put the brush down with a snap, “You’ve excluded ?”

During their ti at the farm, they had already shared their thoughts with each other.

Neither wanted to ddle in this matter.

It was already a stretch to work together on the investigation, and for the more dangerous matters, Xiao Qimo clearly wouldn’t permit it.

Xiao Qimo felt apologetic.

“You’ve done enough, leave the rest to , okay?”

“Not okay.”

“But you’re number thirteen; they want you dead,” the man emphasized.

Lu Mian looked up coolly, “But now they believe you’re number thirteen!”

The two seed to be in disagreent on this matter, experiencing their first argunt that scarcely resembled one.

Lu Mian turned away in annoyance.

Xiao Qimo then surrendered.

“Mianmian.”

Xiao Qimo’s hands rested on her shoulders, hugging her from behind.

He buried his head in the nape of her neck, and the perfect difference in their height made this gesture very comfortable for him.

After a brief silence, he uttered the difficult words, “I’m sorry.”
