The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 674, Why the hurry to leave (second update)

Feeling more relaxed than ever before, Mo Yuan took a sip of his drink, watching the young girl across from him eat her vegetables, the laughter almost spilling out from his eyes.

The young girl was quite knowledgeable.

No matter what he talked about, she could quickly join in on the conversation.

No wonder she was so favored by Li Mochan.

The hotpot meal was enjoyable and easygoing.

After settling the bill and stepping out, Mo Yuan felt time had passed too quickly and didn’t know when he would see the young girl again.

"Mr. Mo, we agreed I’d treat you to hotpot, but now it’s turned out you’ve treated me instead," Ye Jiuliang, with a smile playing at her eyes, said.

Mo Yuan, not often one for humor, replied, "Then, let your Mr. Li pay the next time."

Ye Jiuliang smiled, lifting the corner of her lip, and agreed with a good-humored "Okay."

"Miss Ye, did you drive here?"

"My car is parked across the street, I plan to stroll around a bit more." Ye Jiuliang pointed to the white sports car across the street, "See you later."

Mo Yuan nodded, opened his car door, and bent down to get into the vehicle.

As his car disappeared from sight, Ye Jiuliang turned and walked back to the restaurant, where a man approached her.

"Master Jiu, the items are here."

The man handed her a transparent bag, containing a wine glass and the cotton swab sticks they had just used.

Ye Jiuliang took it, a complex look flashing through the depths of her eyes.

Let’s just call it a moment of lost sanity.

...

J State

The sky was dark, with occasional flashes of lightning carving across it.

The bitter wind howled, a prelude to an impending storm.

Qia Mian stood on the rooftop, holding binoculars in his left hand, occasionally glancing across the way.

"Qia Mian, everything is ready. Shall we make our move now?" asked the man standing behind him respectfully.

Qia Mian casually tossed the binoculars to him, a sinister smile curling on his lips, "Wait a little longer."

This time, it must be flawless.

"Yes."

"Have there been any messages from Steward Mo?"

"Steward Mo has said that we must destroy the base of Organization K this time. Capture prisoners and force the location of K’s headquarters out of them."

"Anything else?"

"Steward Mo also mentioned that after the mission is complete, you should return quickly. The young miss is looking for you."

Mo Yu looking for him? For what?

Qia Mian frowned, but didn’t dwell on it. He looked at his watch and commanded, "The time is nearly upon us, inform the team, we move in five minutes."

"Yes."

"Li Mochan, what are you staring at me for? Did you really think I’d prepare a bunch of goods for your Dark Hall to hijack?" Chu Chen caught the contempt in his eyes and couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation.

He was no fool. They still hadn’t settled the score for the explosion at their headquarters before, and now Li Mochan had the gall to look down on him.

"How about this, you get Dark Hall to send over a batch of goods, and then you can hijack them back."

Beside them, Wei Xi and Qin Yi were holding back their laughter.

Li Mochan glanced at him coldly, then suddenly changed the topic, "Has Ji Mingqian ever had a girlfriend before?"

"Pfft—"

Chu Chen, who had just taken a sip of water, was startled into a spit-take.

"Cough cough cough."

Water went down the wrong pipe, and he couldn’t stop coughing.

Damn.

Where did his mind go off track?

Li Mochan sneered lightly; what an overreaction.

Not calm at all.

The undisguised contempt in his eyes stabbed Chu Chen once more.

"Li Mochan, what do you care if Aqian has had a girlfriend or not? Why, do you plan to introduce him to someone?" he asked, puzzled.

"Can’t I just ask?" Li Mochan said nonchalantly.

Chu Chen chuckled, eyeing him suspiciously, "Come off it, you don’t seem like someone who would gossip about these things, unless..."

He dragged out his tone, certain, "Unless you’re really planning to introduce Aqian to a girlfriend, or you’ve been asked by someone else to make inquiries."

"You’re thinking too much," Li Mochan retorted.

Chu Chen snorted coldly, "Then you might as well not ask."

He didn’t believe Li Mochan would gossip about such things when idle; it simply wasn’t his style.

Seeing that the two men were about to clash, Wei Xi hastily tried to smooth things over, "Master, it’s about time, we should be going."

"Boss, we’ve received word that those people are about to make their move, we should set out too," Qin Yi added in agreement.

Li Mochan and Chu Chen exchanged a glance.

A look of mutual distaste passed between them.

Chu Chen got up and strode towards the door, with Qin Yi following closely behind.

"Master, aren’t we going?" Wei Xi asked the man on the sofa, who remained unmoved, in a low voice.

Li Mochan tapped on his phone screen, deeply engrossed, "What’s the rush?"

Curious about what he was looking at, Wei Xi moved closer to see, and upon realizing what was displayed on his phone screen, a line of frustration formed on his forehead.

"..."

At such a critical moment, he still had the mood to browse baby strollers.

Was his master planning to develop in the direction of a super dad?

The night deepened, and the wind grew fiercer.

Dust was whirled up, easily blinding one’s eyes.

The backside of the base was a forest, from which waves of people in black continuously streamed in,

Clad in black suits, they almost merged with the night.

"Master Qian Mian, the powder has been scattered, and the patrolling men have all fallen," one of the men in black reported in a low voice.

Among the group in black, Qian Mian, in his green clothing, stood out significantly more.

He sneered coldly, "Where is the lab? Lead the way."

The most central part of any base was the laboratory; by stealing the secrets within it, the base would become worthless.

No matter how strong their combat power was or how tight their defenses, they would still end up defeated by his hand.

The victory was almost effortless,

"Yes."

The quiet corridor, pitch-black to the point where one couldn’t see the own fingers.

Chaotic footsteps echoed back and forth, creating quite a noise.

The leader, clad in green with a black mask that gleamed metallically, wore an eerily sinister look in the dark night.

Reaching the lab’s door without any obstacles, Qian Mian paused and, seeing the heavy door closed, scoffed with mockery.

"Pick the lock."

It was just a password lock, hardly an obstacle.

The man behind him stepped forward and expertly dismantled the password lock.

After a brief wait, the man pushed open the door and then stepped aside.

Qian Mian, with his hands behind his back, walked in front, his demeanor proud as he slowly entered.

His arrogance seemed as if he were strolling through his own backyard.

He pressed the light switch on the wall, and the room suddenly brightened.

"Search for it."

"Yes."

The men in black dispersed, rummaging throughout the lab, turning drawers upside down and flipping everything on the desks onto the floor.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the tidy lab turned into complete disarray.

"Master Qian Mian, there’s a thick envelope in the safe," one of the men in black quickly approached Qian Mian and presented a thick envelope with both hands.

Qian Mian reached out to take it, tearing off the seal immediately.

He pulled out the contents, a thick stack of papers.

All of it was blank.

Papers without even a single punctuation mark.

His first thought was that he’d been played.

Qian Mian’s expression darkened as he furiously threw down the stack of blank papers.

Damn it.

"Quickly retreat."

He uttered the order coldly and strode toward the door.

The next moment, the heavy door swung open, and a cloud of powder flew straight at them.

"Since you’re here, why the rush to leave?"

The low voice exploded beside their ears, filled with a bone-chilling frostiness.
