The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 253: Chapter 252: The Answer Can Only Be Found Here

Lu Mian hadn’t noticed Liang Xueyan at first, she hadn’t even taken a close look at her.

It wasn’t until Liang Xueyan introduced herself that she suddenly remembered.

This woman was Yuren’s elder sister.

Handsome Yu had mentioned her once, and it was evident that he harbored concerns for his sister in his heart.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, seemingly unexpected the conversation would take this turn. Yuren’s slender fingers withdrew from the keyboard, leaning back in his chair, his lips slightly moving.

Sister.

But that was all; Yuren concealed all emotion, only continuing to show concern for Lu Mian, “Are you okay?”

His voice was somewhat muffled and stern.

“…” Lu Mian walked on while rubbing her temples, unable to see his expression but could guess. She insisted, “She doesn’t seem to be doing well, targeted by mercenaries. Also…”

She paused, “Handsome Yu, you’re going to be an uncle.”

A longer silence followed.

Lu Mian knew he needed time to process this, so she stopped there without saying anything more. She didn’t forget to instruct, “Help me clean up the mess of today’s matter.”

“… Don’t worry.”

——

International Elite Group, simply known as IEG.

An invisible organization whose existence was unknown to the outside world yet was a reality with immeasurable strength. Its members were the absolute elite, who had been tested and filtered through many layers and were not to be underestimated in ability.

Joining IEG wasn’t just about gaining recognition for identity and capability. It was also about getting access to the globe’s most advanced technological achievements, inside information, and networking resources…

So many insiders who were in the know longed for this organization.

The primary purpose of IEG was to resolve global abnormal events. Take, for example, the kidnapping case on July 26 two years ago; detectives and many forces were unable to ascertain the truth, and it was entrusted to them by the relevant authorities of Z Country.

But for some reason, this case was sealed after IEG took over, with all details and inside information known only to the leader.

This made everyone in the organization even more curious about the case.

The time for the major meeting was quickly approaching.

Xiao Qimo, after getting himself dressed up in the hotel, went to the agreed location for the meeting.

Mo Si liked to talk. Seeing him in a guise that even his mother couldn’t recognize, he sighed, “Boss, why do you bother joining an elite organization instead of enjoying the life of the heir to the Xiao Family?”

He could have been his own boss, yet now he had to conceal his identity and travel a long way for the meeting.

He examined Xiao Qimo’s outfit and patiently adjusted it from top to bottom.

The tall and upright figure was hidden under a long, thin trench coat. Dressed completely in black from head to toe, plus the black mask, no one could discern Xiao Qimo’s identity.

The pattern on the black mask added a touch of mystery to him.

Mo Si recognized the pattern – it was the “God of Death” from the Tarot Cards, which he speculated was an emblem of their internal identity within the organization.

The icy mask, paired with Mo Si’s gaze, made Mo Si shiver, feeling a chill down his spine.

Xiao Qimo adjusted the mask, blocking all emotion, and cleared his throat, his voice already much different.

He said indifferently, “There are some things for which you can only find answers within this organization.”

“Oh…” Mo Si pursed his lips and took him to the meeting place.

This was a towering skyscraper. After several layers of identity verification, right at 9:59, Xiao Qimo arrived at the top floor of the building. @@novelbin@@

Behind the heavy metal door were his “colleagues.”

He pursed his lips and pushed the door open.
