The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 368 - 367: She Is the Sister Who Saved Me That Night (Extra)

Chapter 368: Chapter 367: She Is the Sister Who Saved Me That Night (Extra)

Mo Si felt he had stepped into a realm of fantasy.

Just a second ago, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and the next, he heard the good news from F Continent.

His voice was a bit ethereal, “Nie Brother, are you sure?”

“I’ve been rescued, isn’t that assurance enough?” Mo Nie said, his voice choked with emotion, on the verge of tears, “Old Mo still cares about me, he knows I’m in trouble and still saved me…”

“It’s not that, Nie Brother, this has nothing to do with Old Mo…”

“I know, he must still be angry with me. It’s okay, I understand, I’ve taken it all to heart, I’ll certainly complete the mission…”

“…”

Mo Si was holding his phone and exaggeratedly looking at Lu Mian.

Before he could explain any further, the call was dropped due to bad reception.

He pocketed the phone and rushed to Lu Mian in two strides, “Miss Lu, who did you just call?”

Who had such influence to affect the situation on F Continent?!

And how did she, a high school student, manage to do it.

In his eyes, only their family’s Old Mo could solve this!

Lu Mian continued playing her game, leaning against the corridor windowsill as if nothing had just happened, nonchalantly saying, “It was a trivial matter, no need to dwell on it.”

After all, it was just about giving Yun Lao a bit of face.

He had plenty of face to spare, easy to ask for a favor.

Far away, Yun Zhijuan suddenly sneezed, his fishing rod trembling and scaring away many fish.

He always felt someone was scheming against him…

“!!!”

Mo Si, grabbing his hair, couldn’t comprehend Lu Mian’s thought process: This is a trivial matter?

Mo Nie was about to be executed, is that trivial?!

Two mercenaries fighting a great battle on F Continent, is that trivial?!

And all she did was make a phone call, as if she had casually asked a roommate to bring back some spicy hotpot takeout!

Mo Si, buzzing around Lu Mian like a bee, couldn’t stop talking, while Lu Mian ignored him completely, tapping her phone screen with lightning speed.

If Mo Si also played games, he would have easily noticed that Lu Mian’s game interface was quite different from others.

Mo Si couldn’t get any answers on his end when two people walked down the corridor; he stepped aside to make way for them.

Today, Zhang Wenqiang was taking her daughter Sun Lele to finalize the signature confirmation— the case of the burglary was completely closed with astonishing speed.

As mother and daughter passed by, they happened to see Lu Mian.

Zhang Wenqiang didn’t have to think twice to know why Lu Mian was here; she snorted disdainfully, clearly disliking Lu Mian.

She didn’t want to acknowledge her in such a place; it seemed rather disgraceful.

However, her daughter Sun Lele turned back several times to look at Lu Mian.

Zhang Wenqiang stopped, patting her daughter’s shoulder, “Don’t look anymore, Lele, she is not a good role model. You can’t be like her in the future, understand?”

“Mom!” Sun Lele shook her head.

Lu Mian lazily tilted her head, expressionless.

Mo Si, on the other hand, was quite protective of Lu Mian, disagreeing, “Ma’am, who are you? Don’t talk nonsense without knowing the situation, our Miss Lu is innocent, okay!”

“Innocent? If she hadn’t pushed her, how could she have fallen into the pavilion? You’re saying Gu Jingyi charged in there with a death wish?” Zhang Wenqiang argued fiercely for a few sentences.

The sound was probably quite loud, attracting the late arrival Guo Shuitian, who had just turned the corner into the corridor and hurried over.

“Teacher Zhang, what happened?” He asked from a distance.

Zhang Wenqiang dropped her disdain and hostility, “Chief Guo, it’s nothing, just disciplining my daughter a bit.”

“Then why are you bringing up Miss Lu?” Mo Si argued.

“What’s wrong with me, as her class teacher’s replacement, giving Lu Mian a few words of discipline? If she’s done something wrong, can’t I say it? If she were like the ‘Guardian God’ of Wucheng, virtuous and pure, would I have had to say anything?”

Lu Mian’s gaze finally shifted away from her phone. Narrowing her eyes, she looked coldly at Zhang Wenqiang and took two steps forward.

Zhang Wenqiang took a step back, swallowing her saliva nervously, “What are you going to do? This is a detective bureau, not a place for you to run wild!”

“Heh!” Lu Mian tilted her head and chuckled, then took two more steps forward.

The light in her eyes flickered, carrying a wild and unruly coldness.

Guo Shuitian clasped his hands behind his back and looked out the window, where the sun was nice today, and birds were chirping outside.

Mo Si scratched his head: Miss Lu seems so… powerful. What am I going to do if she climbs over the wall…?

Lu Mian stared at Zhang Wenqiang, observing her false bravado and apparent unease. The corners of her mouth turned up even more in mockery as she breathed out slowly and icily, “Put away your self-righteous act; Teacher Ding can discipline me all he wants. You, have no right!”

“You! You’re turning the world upside down! I am, after all, a teacher!” Zhang Wenqiang, fuming, pointed at Lu Mian.

Lu Mian briskly swatted away her hand, fiercely and ruthlessly.

At this moment, Sun Lele suddenly grew excited.

“Sister?”

She called out forcefully and then, rushing over, kept her eyes firmly on Lu Mian. Relying on her memory from that night, she recognized Lu Mian’s voice right away.

That voice was too deeply etched in her memory!

Moreover, when she walked by moments earlier, she thought Lu Mian’s profile looked familiar.

“Sister, is it you?! Was it you?”

Sun Lele’s reaction took Zhang Wenqiang by surprise. Zhang Wenqiang yanked her back, “Lele, what nonsense are you shouting?”

Sun Lele, panic-stricken, looked at Zhang Wenqiang and then Guo Shuitian, frantically explaining, “Mom, Chief Guo, this sister, she’s the one who saved me that night! She’s the ‘Guardian God’ of Wucheng!”

Guo Shuitian was remarkably calm.

Mo Si frantically grabbed his hair: Miss Lu? The ‘Guardian God’ of Wucheng?

Have his first few days in Wucheng been this fantastical?

“…” Zhang Wenqiang was stunned for a full half-minute, completely disbelieving, “Lele, what are you blabbering about? She’s just a student from our school, don’t I know her? You must have heard wrong!”

“No, I absolutely didn’t hear it wrong. That voice, I could never forget it in my lifetime!” The memory from a life-or-death situation was too profound; it was too memorable, and the incident hadn’t been long ago—how could she possibly forget!

When Sun Lele said that, Zhang Wenqiang’s head buzzed. She slowly turned to look at Lu Mian, only to see a faint mockery in her eyes.

Her breathing tightened.

But Sun Lele looked up at Lu Mian with naive expectation, “Sister, it’s you, isn’t it? It was you that night, right? I didn’t even get to say thank you, I never saw your face…”

Lu Mian pursed her lips, silent.

It was Guo Shuitian who let out a satisfied sigh of relief. He stopped looking at the birds outside and walked over to Zhang Wenqiang and Sun Lele. Smiling at Lu Mian, he began to scheme.

“Student Lele, you’re not wrong, she is indeed the ‘Guardian God’ of Wucheng.”
