Chapter 467: Chapter 466: Ye Ge, tell me the truth, who is the real boss of the team?

Cheng Feng was still very enthusiastic about Lu Mian and genuinely concerned for her.

Ye Jinwen simply nodded beside them but, in the end, didn’t explain the whole story to Ning Xiang.

He just instructed, “Lu Mian is staying in room 612 at Yulan Pavilion.

If you go look for her now, you should be able to find her quickly.”

After saying this, he seemed a bit uneasy and added another warning, “Right, Ning Xiang, make sure not to spill the beans that I’m actually the owner behind the Shadow Hunting Team, got it??”

Ning Xiang didn’t quite understand why.

Cheng Feng didn’t quite understand either and looked at him curiously.

Ye Jinwen didn’t feel like explaining, “Don’t ask too much, just remember not to spill the beans, that’s all.”

Ning Xiang’s gaze flickered, then he confidently patted his chest, “I thought it was some big deal.

Rest assured, leave it to me.

I’ve been wanting to befriend that girl for a while now, just that she seems a bit cold, so I haven’t dared to speak to her.”

Cheng Feng nodded, “Her temperament is a bit cold, but it’s fine, she’s actually quite nice.”

Ning Xiang quickly accepted the task and set off for Yulan Pavilion.

It was then that Cheng Feng looked oddly at the big boss, “Sugar Daddy, how do you know which room Lu Mian is staying in?”

In his heart, he always thought Ye Jinwen wasn’t interested in girls.

Ye Jinwen massaged his temples with a headache.

He didn’t just know.

Those rooms, they were all arranged according to Qimo’s requests, alright?

Ning Xiang quickly arrived at Yulan Pavilion and easily found room 612.

Knocking on the door, Lu Mian quickly came to open it for her.

Lu Mian didn’t move aside to let her pass, standing with her arms crossed and looking at the girl before her with a hint of surprise; she hadn’t expected her visitor to be Ning Xiang.

Ning Xiang smiled, “Surprised, aren’t you?

Can I come in and sit?

I have something to tell you.”

Only then did Lu Mian step aside to make way.

When Ning Xiang stepped into the room, she knew it was different from other places.

It was probably a girl’s intuition.

This room didn’t feel like a standard hotel room; instead, it seemed like a delicately decorated, personalized space.

It was also apparent that Lu Mian was living here comfortably.

She sat down on the sofa, a touch of assertiveness in her smile, “You’re probably surprised I came.

Actually, I didn’t come on my own volition; they asked me to.”

Her frankness caused Lu Mian to raise an eyebrow casually.

With a lazy flick of her long leg, she pulled a chair from the desk over and sat down nonchalantly, “Go ahead.”

Ning Xiang didn’t hide her thoughts and smiled.

“From what I know about Qimo, no girl has ever gotten close to him.

You’re the first.

I noticed you the moment I saw you, but I don’t know what your relationship is with him.

Although that’s not very important, what’s important is that you’ve moved out now.”

Ning Xiang smiled, leaned back on the sofa, and fell into reminiscence, “Do you know?

When Qimo first established the Shadow Hunting Team, the first rule was this prohibition of contact with girls.”

“Over the years, all the members of the team have abided by this rule, and since my dad was their coach, naturally, I had more opportunities to interact with them than you.”

Lu Mian was beginning to understand what Ning Xiang meant, who continued, “It seems you still don’t know some things.”

She smiled faintly, “It’s normal for you not to know; not everyone is qualified to learn about him.

He is a man with a strong guard up.”

Lu Mian slightly arched her eyebrows, silently listening to what she had to say next.

“Actually, the Shadow Hunting Team wasn’t invested in by Ye Jinwen at all.

The big boss behind the Shadow Hunting Team is Xiao Qimo.

Not only is Brother Qi the big boss, but he’s also a founding member of the team.

Back when they were competing for the championship, I watched quite a few of their matches.”

Her intention to show off was very obvious.

Lu Mian’s gaze dimmed slightly.

There were some past events that she hadn’t been a part of, much less understood, and here was this girl, casually talking about these things.

It made her feel rather uncomfortable and displeased.

Then, more importantly, this girl actually went on to tell her that the big boss of the Shadow Hunting Team was Xiao Qimo.

So, when she asked Ye Jinwen before, the three of them were deceiving her, right?

But for some reason, thinking about all this made the corners of her lips curl into a smile.

Ning Xiang could only shake her head helplessly as she got up, ready to leave.

“Alright, you’re still in school, so I won’t disturb your studies.

Since you’ve already moved out, just focus on your training.

After all, cybersecurity isn’t your strong suit, and it must be boring hanging out with a bunch of guys watching them play on the computer all day, right?”

As she said this, she walked towards the door.

Just as she was leaving, she added, “But I’m not quite like you.

I’m the coach’s daughter.

I’ve been immersed in this environment since I was young, and I’m very familiar with their match systems and content.

My visit this time was actually to join them.

Maybe someday, you’ll see me on TV as the only female member of the Shadow Hunting Team, competing in the matches.

When that time comes, I’ll send you a ticket to the event.

Bye-bye.”

After saying all this, Ning Xiang walked out.

Lu Mian seemed to think of something and picked up a few items from her room before following her out.

Her legs were long, and she quickly caught up with Ning Xiang.

Ning Xiang watched her leave the Yulan Pavilion and head towards the Zitan Pavilion direction.

Overcome by curiosity, she took a couple of quick steps forward and asked, “Lu Mian, did you leave something there?

I can go get it for you.”

Lu Mian turned her head and smiled with a double entendre, “No need, thank you.

I can take care of my own things.”

Watching her carefree figure, Ning Xiang suddenly realized—

She seemed not only to have failed at making Lu Mian back down but had instead caused her to change her mind and return to the Zitan Pavilion.

At this thought, she felt somewhat disheartened.

How did it turn out this way?

When Lu Mian returned to the Zitan Pavilion, Ye Jinwen was still anxiously pacing around in the courtyard.

Turning around, he saw Lu Mian’s cool face carrying a hint of a smile.

He felt that this winter wasn’t cold at all.

It was like springtime, with flowers in full bloom.

“Little Mianmian, you’re back?

You scared me to death; I almost made a huge blunder.”

As Ye Jinwen spoke, he patted his heart, relieved, “It’s good you’re back, it’s so good.”

Anyway, no matter what, there wasn’t a bigger deal than her leaving.

He had managed to cushion this potential disaster.

Lu Mian saw his nervous appearance and couldn’t help but smile gently, then took a step back and asked Ye Jinwen, “Brother Ye, tell me the truth.

Who is the real boss of the Shadow Hunting Team?”

Fuck!

Ye Jinwen cursed inwardly, retreating several steps as if shocked.

How had she come back to asking this question?!

Was this a clash of titans?

Every strike was deadly!
