The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 163: Chapter 162: Perhaps at Your School

Lu Mian quickly agreed.

This swift attitude, however, caught both Su Luo and Su Jue off guard, making it feel like their punches had hit cotton. The frustration within them didn’t dissipate; instead, it grew even more intense.

Lu Mian quickly sent them the group number and group name.

Su Jue immediately rushed over, staring at the string of numbers and recalling them for a moment; they were almost the same as the group number in his memory.

With a click on search, he found it quickly, and was now certain this was the same investors’ chat group from before.

He couldn’t wait to apply to join.

Lu Mian ignored Su Jue’s impatient expression, his lips curving into a mocking, cold arc, and before closing the video chat, he said one last sentence, light as a feather.

“If you wanted the group number, why not just ask me? Going around in such a big circle, wasting time.”

The video connection was severed.

All was calm again.

Su Luo and Su Jue looked at each other in dismay.

Instead of feeling happy about getting the group number, they were dumbstruck by Lu Mian’s last comment.

Did they want to go through such a big hassle? Did they want to solve the problem in this way?

They had spent money and toiled away in classes, only to have the group number handed to them like charity from the enemy.

Who could accept that?

The Principal’s office. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Principal Zhang and Guo Shuitian had a casual lunch together, and their conversation quickly turned to the topic of the “Wucheng Guardian God.”

Who in Wucheng didn’t know this legendary story!

Principal Zhang, curious, inquired, “Director Guo, who exactly is the Wucheng Guardian God? Don’t tell me you’ve been misleading everyone deliberately to keep a low profile!”

“Ha! I wish I had that ability!”

Guo Shuitian sighed, “Principal Zhang, not to keep anything from you, but the Wucheng Guardian God is very likely to be a student from your school!”

“Wow!” Principal Zhang’s face changed dramatically, “How is that possible?!”

“I wouldn’t say this without evidence. Those local thugs have all been arrested, and one of them saw a bit of the Kunpeng School Uniform peeking out of the Guardian God’s bag. Anyone with a Kunpeng School Uniform must be related to your school if not from it.”

“…Is it really possible… Haven’t any of them seen the Guardian God’s true face?”

Guo Shuitian shook his head, “The Guardian God acts both ruthlessly and quickly; they didn’t have time to react before they were knocked out. I have questioned those people, and this little piece of information is all that came out of it.”

He didn’t mention anything about the hamburger wrapper and the cartoon cat head just yet. After all, such scant evidence wasn’t enough to locate someone.

Principal Zhang hesitated to speak.

Guo Shuitian raised his hand, cutting in first.

“Don’t start with the security cameras; to someone who can appear and disappear like a ghost, cameras are just decoration. Just like the kidnapping case two years ago, weren’t your school’s cameras wiped clean?”

Principal Zhang: “I understand, I understand…”

But how come it suddenly made him feel proud?

Their school was truly full of talent!

Since the topic had come up, Guo Shuitian didn’t forget to give a few reminders.

“Principal Zhang, I will continue to investigate this matter. However, I also advise your school to be extra vigilant during this time and make sure no strangers are let into the school. If the Guardian God is indeed inside the school, I worry there might be someone looking for revenge who slips through the net.”

Principal Zhang looked grave, “Alright, I’ll take your advice, Director Guo.”

Just in the afternoon, upon arriving at school.

Shouhao and the heavyset boy were sitting at the flowerbeds below the teaching building, chatting about the dinner celebration they planned for Lu Mian that night.

Sui Yuan happened to pass by, and seeing the two of them, she thought of the “Galaxy Lu Mian Protection Squad” her classmates mentioned that morning. She changed direction and walked toward the brothers.

“Excuse me, can I join the Galaxy Lu Mian Protection Squad?”
