The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 371 - 370: If You Have Time, Advise Your Master to Focus on Serious Matters

Chapter 371 -370: If You Have Time, Advise Your Master to Focus on Serious Matters

Mo Si arrived late and was somewhat unaware of some situations.

Wa Zhiqi nodded at him and then made a very respectful gesture of invitation, “Sir, may I have a word with you?”

This scene dumbfounded Sheng Zijin opposite them.

Qiong Can and Gu Jingyi were also stunned, completely unaware of how the person who had just been standing by their side was now respectfully inviting the anonymous man across from them.

Xiao Qimo turned slightly to Lu Mian and said, “I’ll be right back.”

Lu Mian nodded and took out her phone to send Xiao Qimo a $200 red packet.

Mo Si glanced over and clicked his tongue.

He reminded her, “Miss Lu, you know who that man in uniform is, don’t you?”

“Don’t know him.” Lu Mian opened the red packet page.

“That’s Wa Zhiqi, the captain of the Jinjing Criminal Investigation Bureau! He’s a young hero who has solved many major cases! He has also collaborated with our Guardian God before.”

“Oh.”

Watching her fingertip entering the number 200, Mo Si continued to sing praises of his master, “Actually, our Guardian God is quite impressive, he’s just too low-key. Many Interpol officers have come to him, wanting to hire him as their chief consultant, but because Guardian God felt he wouldn’t be able to eat or sleep well, he didn’t take the offer.”

Lu Mian finally reacted, which indeed fit Xiao Qimo’s style. Then she smiled slightly, as the $200 red packet had already been sent out.

Mo Si touched his nose, it was hopeless.

Guardian God was really a bargain.

On the side, Wa Zhiqi and Xiao Qimo walked away to a place where others couldn’t hear them before stopping.

“Mr. Qimo, what brings you to Wucheng?” Wa Zhiqi knew Xiao Qimo and was also aware of his status.

Seeing this big shot in Wucheng was both unexpected and exciting, yet he dared not make it known.

Xiao Qimo replied indifferently, “Chasing someone.”

Upon hearing this, Wa Zhiqi was overjoyed, “Are you… personally pursuing a suspect? If Interpol knew about this, they would probably line up to ask you to come back.”

After saying that, he stroked his chin, “This suspect is quite fortunate to be personally pursued by the renowned Mr. Qimo. Their life is now complete.”

Xiao Qimo pursed his lips, not quite agreeing and explained, “She’s not a suspect, she’s the future Mrs. Xiao.”

Wa Zhiqi laughed out loud, “So it’s Mrs. Xiao…”

Huh?

What?

Mrs. Xiao?!

Wa Zhiqi, belatedly realizing and utterly shocked, looked at Xiao Qimo and finally understood what he meant by ‘chasing someone.’

So, he was in Wucheng to pick up girls!

But sir, do you know that in Jinjing and internationally, there are many, many matters all waiting for your involvement?

And, if he hadn’t misheard just now, this gentleman also acted as a lawyer for that young lady?

Sir, do you still remember being offered hundreds of millions of euros by the foremost financial consortium on the O Continent to intervene?

Wa Zhiqi felt the world was somewhat fantastical. The last time he saw this man, he was exuding a killing aura, almost unapproachable.

Yet this time, he seemed to have changed somehow.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Xiao Qimo’s gaze kept drifting towards Mo Si.

Wa Zhiqi knew he didn’t wish to say more and finally reminded him, “Mr. Qimo, your fees are too cheap. With your value, attorney fees should at least be in the seven figures.”

Xiao Qimo didn’t speak but instead caressed his glasses, his tone questioning, “I heard that you came this time to back up the Sheng Family?”

“Who the hell said that? I’m here on a business trip!” Wa Zhiqi stared at the imposing figure opposite him, his eyes sinking into defeat in an instant.

The man smiled politely, “Then that’s fine.”

Wa Zhiqi: There’s always a feeling of narrowly escaping death.

After their conversation ended, Xiao Qimo automatically returned to Lu Mian’s side.

Lu Mian holding her phone, “I just sent you a red packet.”

Xiao Qimo took out his phone, opened it, and then smiled, “This much?”

Mo Si: ???

If you think it’s too much, give it to me!

“I’ve never hired a lawyer before, so I’m not really sure about the rates. However, I can treat you to a meal today.” She basically didn’t need a lawyer.

Xiao Qimo elegantly adjusted his scarf, “No need, I should be the one inviting you. You saved Mo Nie’s life, how could I not do anything in return?”

Mo Si: Why do I feel full when I didn’t see any dog food coming my way?

Wa Zhiqi then came over and took the opportunity to say a few words to Mo Si as well—after all, he had to treat the subordinates of the big boss with courtesy.

“Your Lord Mo…” His expression conveyed an unspeakable complexity, curious about the identity of Mrs. Xiao.

Mo Si thought he knew but didn’t mention names, simply feeling a deep sense of emotion.

“Right, it’s frightening, both of them are oddballs!” And he was still holding a big secret that he hadn’t disclosed yet, it felt uncomfortable. “By the way Wa Chief, are you here for a case?”

“Not exactly, I just came to Wucheng on official business,” Wa Zhiqi smiled, “Wucheng is quite an interesting place, I heard they even have a Guardian God here.”

Guardian God?

Mo Si’s eyes lit up.

“It’s just that I don’t know who this Wucheng Guardian God is, otherwise, I really would like to invite him to join the special operations team.”

Me! Me! I know!

Mo Si kept a huge secret to himself, not daring to reveal it. After biting his lip for quite a while, he finally asked, “Special operations team? Is something happening?”

“No.”

Wa Zhiqi couldn’t say much and ended by patting Mo Si on the shoulder, “When you have time, try to persuade your master to focus on more serious things…”

“Eh, alright then.”

——

Sheng Zijin, watching the person opposite her behave with humility and harmony, was so angry that she almost crumpled her expensive bag.

She stepped forward, interrupting Wa Zhiqi and Mo Si’s conversation, and said, “Chief Wa, please make a decision on this issue!”

Wa Zhiqi, who was somewhat lacking sleep, squinted his panda eyes, “What evidence has been presented?” Qiong Can also came over and explained.

“It’s the surveillance video from the pavilion in the back hill. Although it’s not from the pavilion itself, it’s from nearby, and the reflection principle caught the scene on camera. The footage shows… shows that Miss Gu Jingyi ran in on her own, not pushed by Miss Lu Mian.”

“And…” Qiong Can looked even more upset, “The surveillance also revealed that when Miss Gu Jingyi initially rushed towards the pavilion, Miss Lu went to save her, but there was an accident, and Miss Lu got dragged in too. Due to the range of the shot, the footage inside the pavilion wasn’t captured.”

Qiong Can’s explanation was clear; Wa Zhiqi squinted his eyes, sneered.

“So, you’re saying that Lu Mian not only didn’t push Gu Jingyi, but she even initially saved her?” He didn’t really understand, looked somewhat fiercely at Gu Jingyi, “What’s the point of suing over such a thing, shouldn’t you be thanking her? Why are you playing the victim first?”

Sheng Zijin, Gu Jingyi, and Qiong Can stood in place, incredibly awkward.

Seeing this, Gu Jingyi weakly stepped forward.

“Chief Wa, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do it.” Her eyes began to redden, “I told Sheng Sister the truth initially, but Sheng Sister wanted to get back at Lu Mian and made me change my statement!”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Zijin’s face turned pale.
