Chapter 561: Coincidental Meeting with Almighty Qin in Pure Color (4)
Before she alighted, her mother's words rang fresh in her ears. "Don't try to hide what you have been doing in school, your results have already started to fall! Will you be satisfied only after hitting a negative score?! And that boyfriend of yours, I'm going to his house to ask his mom how he managed to seduce my daughter. He has to take responsibility! Alright, you aren't willing to make the call? If you aren't going to call him, follow Teacher Liu. There are only two choices for you. I'm an open-minded parent, I understand that a child entering its youth would start to be curious and yearn to date, but look at what you have become, skipping your extra lessons just to date? Are you going to just waste all the efforts I and your father have invested in you?"
Li Mengran was speechless. To ensure she wasn't dropped from the team, her parents made sure to give her piano lessons.
Her father would work overtime every night.
All the earnings were practically invested in her; the best tonics for the brain, the best private English tutor and the best appearance.
All of it was to ensure she could safely enter a good university.
Sometimes, obsession seemed to permeate her bones.
Hence, her mother had always obliged the teacher's words and would often be left grateful to him.
Regardless of how much she had cried or objected, her mom had still forced her into the car.
The moment she entered the car, she felt despair wash over her.
She wanted to seek help, but that would bring the youngster only greater trouble.
He was the nation's hottest new player, both his grades and his future seemed bright.
If her mother caused trouble at school, the youngster's reputation would be tarnished, and his results would also take a toll.
As long as he had one failure, he wouldn't be able to take part in the National League.
With such a rule in place, she couldn't be selfish.
Li Mengran was clear of the fact that the National League wasn't just the youngster's dream, it was also Yaoyao's dream.
Her best friend's eyes would start glowing at the very mention of the National League.
Everything will be fine.
Li Mengran tightened her grip on a blade.
If she followed what the person online had said, then these bunch would go to hell.
Li Mengran lowered her head.
Liu Ming couldn't see her expression and hence, couldn't have noticed the gaze filled with hatred.
Fu Jiu had been hiding in the dark, but the moment she caught sight of Yang Ming and Li Mengran, she paused and retreated back to her original spot.
The worst case had happened.
Fu Jiu's eyes dimmed, she knew that Li Mengran would never agree to come here. This meant that her resistance had failed.
She couldn't expose too much of her face in case there was someone familiar around.
But that wasn't important, instead it was crucial to ensure Li Mengran wasn't hurt.
She had to act fast.
With a tap on the tablet, the virus was activated.
All the surveillance cameras turned to a single direction, without anyone noticing — especially not the security guard who went to the toilet.
Just like that, after ensuring that no evidence would be left behind, Fu Jiu followed behind Liu Ming in her school uniform outfit.
At the same time, the video flashed onto the live stream, playing onto the various platforms.
Chapter 562: Coincidental Meeting with Almighty Qin in Pure Color (5)
The expectant netizens lit up, the comment section exploded!
"Video? There is a video?!"
"Wait a minute, where is this? Why does it look so familiar?"
"I can only say this is a nightclub."
"F*ck! I remember this, it's Pure Color! It can't be wrong, it's Pure Color!"
Pure Color?
Fatty turned over towards captain beside him.
Qin Mo crossed his legs, tilting his head over, his gaze dark in contrast to his pale skin. He looked like a vampire, his orders in particular amplified the indolent, icy cold aura. "Start the attack, zero in on the target."
"Yes, Sir."
Fatty was genuinely excited, he had never acted this way before... even his fingers were trembling.
Director Huang glanced towards him at the back. "Is he alright like that?"
"Carsick is the worst it'll get," Qin Mo replied nonchalantly.
Fatty began to trace the IP address in the car in order to save time.
The crackling sound of typing echoed off the keyboard.
Qin Mo lowered his lids towards his phone, there still wasn't a response.
Just three minutes after the broadcast had begun, the views were over a million.
No one could be sure how this vlogger got hold of these images, but they could see him walk forward.
Once night fell, Pure Color would enter a crazy party state.
After entering the lobby, many beautiful girls came into sight. The crowd all seemed rather young.
Fu Jiu walked casually, exactly like the countless others, who came to have fun. No one could spot the tiny video camera tied to her black bow tie.
Those who entered this nightclub had to go through a full body scan; but Liu Ming didn't have to.
Fu Jiu narrowed her eyes.
Fortunately, she didn't bring anything. Hence, she also entered swiftly, but he was still a distance away.
Liu Ming didn't make any stops in the lobby, instead, he headed towards the corridor area to make a call.
Just as Fu Jiu was about to walk forward, she heard a familiar voice.
"F*ck, this place is as crowded as usual, I guess there's hope in leaving our monkhood!"
It was Lin Feng.
Shock ran through her gaze as she ducked abruptly to avoid the approaching person.
It wasn't just Lin Feng, Yun Hu, Feng Shang, and the other... all Supreme Alliance members were here.
She suddenly remembered that Manager Feng had arranged for them to play at Pure Color to gear up for the training for the National League.
If that was true... then was the Almighty here as well?
Fu Jiu's mind churned as she continued to walk forward.
She couldn't allow anyone from Supreme Alliance to see her, especially not the Almighty. She had to keep a safe distance.
But all of this was not the point.
The main point was the security ahead.
The corridor was obviously a restricted area, but Li Mengran was ahead.
Fu Jiu narrowed her eyes, silently counting to 15 before approaching the corridor.
"Lady, unauthorized entry isn't allowed, please leave."
Fu Jiu acted surprised, her voice weak and feeble. "Teacher wanted me to come for extra lessons, there must be a mistake. I'll head elsewhere to take a look."
"Wait a minute." Liu Ming, who had already sent Li Mengran into the room, suddenly came back out of the corridor.
Chapter 563: Coincidental Meeting with Almighty Qin in Pure Color (6)
Fu Jiu turned slowly, her face still slightly lowered.
Her actions further exemplified her role as a pure young girl.
Just the sight of her school uniform placed a smile on Liu Ming's face. Besides, he had already sent one of them in, so another one would bring more money.
Deputy Liu wasn't the only one inside — there was another one, who also favoured the 'pure' type.
"Extra lessons are being held here." Yang Ming showed an enthusiasm like never before.
Fu Jiu didn't follow him immediately, instead, she glanced about nervously. "But this doesn't look like a place for extra lessons, and my teacher isn't here."
"I'm friends with your teacher." Yang Ming was aware that he wasn't the only supplier in Jiang City, other teachers were in this as well, but they weren't like him, they just tried their luck on any silly student they came across.
Very obviously, at this moment, he thought Fu Jiu was one of those silly students.
"Your teacher is waiting in the room ahead, he mentioned that a student would be heading over," Yang Ming continued. "Isn't he Mr Li? The bespectacled one around thirty years old."
Great, another one down.
In fact, Fu Jiu wasn't aware of Mr Li's existence.
But since she managed to put Yang Ming at ease, she decided to play along.
"You know Mr Li?" Fu Jiu struggled to keep her voice sounding feeble.
"Of course." Yang Ming laughed. "We're colleagues. Let's go, I'll bring you there."
Fu Jiu pretended to hesitate before nodding.
Yang Ming then pushed his spectacles upwards, his smile turning sinister; she really is dumb.
At that very moment, the livestream viewers started to boil in agitation.
"Ah, ah, ah, don't follow him!"
"F*ck, this can't do, someone in Pure Color hurry and save the damsel in distress!"
"It won't be possible for the patrons in Pure Color to be watching the livestream."
"You guys don't have to worry, the vlogger must be aware of their real intentions, this is obviously an act to infiltrate the enemy."
"That seems logical."
"Even so, the broadcaster sounds like a young lady, in the face of such a beast... No, I'm heading to Pure Color now!"
It wasn't just the netizens, Qin Mo could see the livestream as well. A thought seemed to have struck him as his lips curved into a smile. "Brilliant."
"What's brilliant?" Director Huang was still in a panic. "Why is the traffic so bad! The team near Pure Color, hurry over now, the search warrant can be applied afterwards. Who did you say you are afraid of? Jiang family?"
Director Huang turned towards the person beside him.
Qin Mo replied calmly, "Get them to explain the situation clearly before entering, the Jiang family aren't that money minded."
Director Huang nodded, wiping his sweat again. With such a huge matter at stake, his heart was palpitating from the adrenaline.
"Oh right, what did you mean by brilliant?" Director Huang wasn't senile, he knew that everything this man said was useful.
Qin Mo lifted his arm to look at his wrist. "Director Huang, do you know the reason behind this hacker's livestream?"
Chapter 564: Coincidental Meetng with Almighty Qin in Pure Color (7)
Director Huang wasn't slow, after all. "If she didn't act like this, those that are implicated would probably use their background to escape or bribe the officials, so that no justice would be upheld for the female student. Aye, this hacker has no trust in us at all, there is no way we would let these bast*rds off!"
"That's all the afterthought." Qin Mo titled his gaze, his voice calm. "Simply put, she wanted to save the girl and by releasing the news, the police would be alerted. By then, even if she didn't do much, the police would take action and capture them. Maybe they would capture her as well, but before they arrive, she would have enough time to escape."
Director Huang widened his mouth. "You, you mean that the police have been acting under her orders?"
Qin Mo remained silent, a silent agreement.
Director Huang started to fume. "This-this hacker is simp-simply..."
"Let's find the person first." Qin Mo glanced at Fatty. "How's it going?"
Fatty lifted his lids, replying seriously, "I suspect there are two people operating, captain, take a look. This is the IP address I have located, it isn't in Pure Colour. But the broadcaster is inside right now, isn't that odd?"
"It's a little odd." Qin Mo glanced at the traffic outside, tilting his face in thought.
At this moment, the two men in the room were still clueless.
They couldn't keep their hands to themselves the moment they saw Li Mengran and had started to roam their hands over her. At that moment, Liu Ming pushed another one in.
With a thud, the wooden door before Fu Jiu slammed shut!
She lowered her lids and in the next second, Li Mengran was threatening the other two with a blade. "If you come any closer, I'm going to kill you!"
"Old Liu, you deal with that one, I'm going to have a talk with this little lady." The older man pounced at Fu Jiu with his seductive face.
Neither of them knew that their current behavior was being broadcasted live!
Outside Pure Color, Qin Mo pushed open the car door and emerged. He scanned the surrounding, passing the convenient store before retracting back, his gaze dimming. "Director Huang, you can head in first, I'll take a look over there."
As they were already at Pure Color, Director Huang couldn't hold it in any longer, dashing instantly.
Qin Mo stuffed one hand in his pocket and pushed the door of the convenient store open with the other. Regardless of the situation, he was always so nonchalant.
"Welcome," the shop attendant greeted before heading over to take a look; his eyes lit up.
What's with all the hotties today!
Qin Mo looked calm, eluding an enigmatic aura.
The moment he saw the small laptop in the dining area, his gaze paused slightly before heading over. He asked in a low tone, "Where is the lady that was here?"
"So you're here to find her." The shop attendant understood. "She went to the ladies' room 1 , but it has been a while, she will probably be back soon."
Ladies' room?
A corner of his lips curved upwards.
This place had a great view as it was exactly opposite of Pure Color.
The laptop was clearly in operation, but the screen was dark, something was obviously happening.
Since the main engine was here, the owner would definitely come back to get it...
Chapter 565: Fu Jiu's Coincidental Meeting with Almighty Qin (1)
As for the one inside, she would be gone once the police entered.
Hence, the best method was to wait for her to come back.
"Sir?" The shop attendant stood beside him questioningly.
Qin Mo turned, his ravishing profile restrained. "Can I please get one cup of Americano?"
"Ah? Alright, this instant."
So he really was here to find someone. The shop attendant was starting to get suspicious of his actions.
If Director Huang were to hear of Qin Mo sipping coffee elegantly while they slaved, he would definitely throw a fit!
Pure Color. Ever since he shut the door and the girl he pulled in had lifted her lids, Yang Ming felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't seem to place his finger on it.
"That's odd, with such beautiful looks, I would have had a strong impression of her," Yang Ming muttered to himself outside the room. He listened to the intimate noises which emerged from within as he thought about his dreams of progression.
Li Mengran was a little too fierce but after today, it would be a done deal.
As for the other girl, he wasn't the least bit concerned. Just one look and he could tell she didn't have a mind of her own, she probably wouldn't make much of a fuss.
Fu Jiu didn't have a mind of her own?
That was simply hilarious.
She ducked to avoid the obese middle-aged men, her palms pressed against the ground and her head lowered, looking every bit the feeble young girl she was acting as. But actually, she just wanted to avoid the camera capturing Li Mengran's face. It should only take in both men's disgusting behavior. "I must have entered the wrong room, you must have made a mistake, I'm here for extra lessons. The person lied to me saying he is a teacher."
"Darling, he is indeed a teacher." One of the men turned, adding another line, "You didn't enter the wrong room, Uncle can teach you if you need extra lessons."
Li Mengran never expected to see another victim in the room.
She had already made a decision, even if it cost her life, she would never let them have their way.
But now, the girl without a weapon was clearly turning into their sacrificial lamb.
What should she do?
What was she going to do?
Li Mengran's hands started to tremble as she tossed the fruit platter aside. With a pale face, she shouted towards the man who was preparing to pounce onto Fu Jiu, "Aren't you afraid of retribution?!"
"Retribution." The man chuckled. "Who would dare to harm us? Darling, you must not watch much news, do you? Don't worry, Uncle will take good care of you."
Li Mengran stumbled back in a panic.
The blade in her palms was stained with blood.
She originally assumed it was the end.
However, the next second, she heard a loud thud!
The man approaching her was knocked flat onto the ground.
Li Mengran froze, sitting on the ground in a daze. The girl who had been trembling from fear earlier tugged her tie aside. With her left palm on the ground, she bolted upright. She grabbed the wine bottle at the side and with the strength in her arms, she smashed it onto the man's head.
After a loud crack, wine spilled everywhere.
The man couldn't withstand the impact and fainted.
The other man couldn't believe his eyes, so his first reaction was to seek help.
But before he could say a word, the new girl reached out for his neck, her move agile and mesmerizing. "I'm going to slice your neck if you say a word."
Chapter 566: Fu Jiu's Coincidental Meeting with Almighty Qin (2)
Li Mengran realized that the girl's voice was no longer feeble. Instead, it had hardened and contained a sinister vibe. She seemed like a demoness that had finally shown her true self.
The higher the person climbed, the more they feared death.
He glanced at the shattered glass near himself, his face paling, his lips chattering. "I-I'm not going to shout."
"Open the door."
Li Mengran wasn't aware that these three words were directed at her.
Seeing no reaction from her, Fu Jiu coughed lightly. "Miss Li."
Li Mengran came back to her senses, glancing at her back view.
The girl didn't turn her head, but her voice was much warmer. "Do you have the strength to move?"
"Mmh!" Li Mengran glanced over to the man, he seemed to be on the verge of fainting. She bolted up, tugging on the lock, hoping that her actions could be faster, just a little faster.
Ka-cha!
The door was finally open.
Li Mengran turned back, her gaze glistening as she glanced at the other girl's lit-up back view.
The girl didn't lift her lids, but said only one sentence, "Go out, the police should be here, you will be fine."
"What about you?" Li Mengran's heart was still trembling.
The girl's voice was calm as she replied, "I'll serve as a backup."
Li Mengran nodded, but the moment she stepped out of the wooden door, she heard the door being shut.
Why?
Li Mengran was thoroughly confused.
She was worried about the girl inside, thus, her first reaction was to call the police.
At this moment at the other end of the corridor, Yang Ming was still enjoying his cigarette. Suddenly, a large crowd of police officers came rushing in, heading towards his direction.
The security dressed in black covered the pathway, announcing to the police, "Deputy Liu and Chief Zhang are inside, even if you are on duty, you would have to wait till their meeting is over."
This meant, to put it simply, don't you know where this is? How dare you investigate here.
Yang Ming took a puff, not a hint of fear in his eyes.
With the two guards around, even the police were useless.
This had happened before when someone had reported them, but back then the police were just released as a formality.
This time, however, Yang Ming was wrong.
Director Huang took a step forward, his voice was solemn. "Meeting? Committing crimes you mean. Investigate now! Regardless of who is inside, take them to the station."
"You!"
The two security guards had more to say, but the next second, they were pressed to the ground.
Yang Ming bit his cigarette, stunned by the scene.
"He is the teacher that brought the student in."
Fatty held his laptop with one hand and pointed to Yang Ming with the other.
Yang Ming paled instantly!
The police acted swiftly.
Yang Ming didn't even have time to process how their secret transaction was exposed.
Just then, Li Mengran came running over with tears in her eyes. "Hurry, she's still inside, there's another girl inside!"
Director Huang and Fatty exchanged a glance, signaling the manager to open the door.
"This, the door is locked from inside!"
The manager was soaked in sweat from the stress yet, Director Huang couldn't wait any longer. "Bang down the door!"
The two policemen exchanged glances before kicking the door in unison, producing a resounding thud!
The door opened.
The room was lit.
In the middle of the light, Deputy Liu and Chief Zhang sat back to back. Their bottoms were stripped off in order to tie up their wrists. Their hair was soaked with alcohol, their beer bellies protruding. The amiable image they portrayed on the news was replaced with ugliness and distress.
Chapter 567: Fu Jiu's Coincidental Meeting with Almighty Qin (3)
Du, du, du!
Fatty's laptop released a signal to indicate they had reached the location.
He followed the signal and found a black tie lying on the coffee table.
There wasn't anything special about it, but its location made it suspicious.
Fatty reached out to caress the tie, interest and curiosity spreading across his face. "It's a miniature video camera."
"We can deal with that later, where's the hacker?" Director Huang was intent on arresting everyone as otherwise, it would be hard to tie up the case.
Fatty pointed ahead. "It's the laptop behind this camera, as for the person, you would have to ask these two bast*rds."
Both Deputy Liu and Chief Zhang had their mouths stuffed, their eyes fixed upwards.
Therefore, Director Huang released their mouths. "Where is she?"
"You're too slow!" Deputy Liu frowned. "The criminal has escaped, someone barged in to threaten us and had committed such a despicable act. Is this how the police work?"
Chief Zhang eluded a more imposing vibe. "Bring our clothes here right now."
"You seem to be mistaken." Fatty pouted. "We are here to arrest the both of you, not some other criminal.
Director Huang had wanted to pursue the hacker's location, but these two bast*rds were actually questioning the police's ability?!
He couldn't help but miss out on this prime chance. So he turned towards Li Mengran. "Is the other girl really in the room?"
Li Mengran glanced at the scene stoically; before she had left, there was clearly someone...
In front of plenty of computers, the eyes of countless netizens were glued to the video — even though the screen had been black for three minutes.
No one left their seats.
The next scene captured the police officers, who came barging in.
This was more exciting than a thriller movie.
Of course, when the two bast*rds started to deny their actions, the comment section exploded once more.
"There's nothing left to be said, higher-ups, please investigate them."
"If the two of them aren't sentenced, I would never believe in justice again."
"Don't forget their backgrounds."
"Who cares about their backgrounds, let the relevant authorities know our power."
"What's with all these, what has any of these got to do with you guys? The girl might have been willing. This vlogger as well, why bother about other people's privacy, such rubbish! Get lost!"
"F*ck, willing, have you seen the live stream? How can you take it so lightly, the girl used a blade to fight for her life, I don't care about others but as a mother, these teachers and deputies have to be dealt with. I'm not a very dignified person, but at the very least, I don't wish for my daughter to meet with such incidences."
"Me too. Even though I'm not married, but as a female, I really wish to know why whenever such things happen, the female will always be deemed to be willing? Is that really the main point? Shouldn't the bast*rds be punished?!"
"Despicable behavior would always follow these people, for the person that insulted the girl, I have just one sentence for you, you are the same kind as those bast*rds!"
"What about the vlogger, what did she go? What's next? We have to personally see the two bast*rds be punished in order to get a good night sleep."
Inside the convenient store, Qin Mo sat in front of the window with a piping hot cup of Americano, reading the comment section leisurely as the live stream continued to play. His expression remained calm when he called Director Huang, saying only one word, "Ceiling."
Chapter 568: Wanting for the Prey
After hearing his words, Director Huang hit his head in exasperation!
"Yes, the ceiling!"
But how were they going to go up?
Director Huang lifted his lids to look above his head.
Qin Mo frowned, seemingly displeased with the Americano. "Forget it if you can't go up."
"Are you doubting my ability? You horrid boy! I'm going to climb right this instant! No, where exactly are you? How do you know our current situation?!"
Director Huang's questions came flooding, too much for Qin Mo's interest, hence, he hung up. He leaned his chin on his hand, his finger tapping the table sporadically, his eyes shut.
Come on.
Let me see who you are.
Inside Pure Color, the customers on the dance floor had no clue what had happened as a swarm of police came barging in.
The police started to knock the ceiling. It was chaotic mess.
Fatty still held onto his laptop, his appearance striking.
Lin Feng spotted him from afar, dashing over to tap his shoulder. "Fatty, didn't Captain call for you? What are you doing here?"
"It's a long story." Fatty would often mimic a historian's talking style. "This..."
Yun Hu didn't wait for his long story, his eyes dimming. "Team Leader is here as well."
"Ah, yes!" Fatty shrieked. "Team Leader is still waiting for my report at the convenience store!"
Lin Feng arched a brow. "The convenience store opposite? Let's go together, we won't be able to play anymore in this situation. But it's weird, didn't Captain say he wasn't coming?"
It wasn't easy for the Supreme Alliance members to leave the club as police stood at the exit to check everyone's identity.
At this moment in a corner of Pure Color, there was a tiny commotion.
Those that were unaware might have blamed it on rats, but if they paid attention, the noise was clearly coming from the ceiling.
After two creaks, someone jumped out of the air vent.
It wasn't anyone else, but Fu Jiu.
She still wore the white shirt and uniform, her hair a mess, eluding a charismatic beauty.
"Whew, it's been some time since I crossed such a special pathway, that sure was stuffy."
Fu Jiu wiped off her sleeve, but in the corner of her eyes, she spotted some policemen checking the other air vents.
Needless to say, they were looking for her.
Fu Jiu frowned, turning rapidly and heading towards the lift nearby.
" They could actually guess that I was using the air vents, the police aren't that dumb, after all, " Fu Jiu thought, but she would never say it out loud. She was lucky to have been fast enough, leaving just when the police started taking action.
Right now, she was just another customer.
Familiar with their workings, she was sure they would be at the entrance, hence, Fu Jiu didn't hurry out, but took instead the elevator to the basement floor.
There was a skateboard in the carpark. Fu Jiu pressed her slender left leg forward, skating out of Pure Color. No one noticed at all.
Endless streams of police cars came rushing over through the crowd that was attracted over by the livestream.
This was a first for Pure Color.
It was packed from inside out.
Cars were jamming the streets.
It was pure chaos...
Chapter 569: They Meet
The public didn't seem the least bit cold as they stood amidst the fog, which really was a sight.
With no doubt, such a situation aided her escape.
Fu Jiu lifted a corner of her lips, sending the skateboard into the bushes.
She stuffed her hands into the pockets of her jacket, lifting her gaze towards the 24-hour convenient store across the street before heading over.
Even if the police brushed past her, they would never suspect someone who was on her way to the convenient store.
Director Huang would never have expected the culprit to have left Pure Color while they were still searching.
In the end, Director Huang was left without another choice; he called a certain someone. "There isn't anyone in the air vents or anyone suspicious on the first floor."
"You were obviously too slow," Qin Mo replied calmly. "Also, you definitely won't find anything on the first floor. If she wanted to leave, she would have used the basement carpark. It would be easier for her to conceal herself and escape."
Director Huang clenched his teeth. "Why didn't you mention that earlier?"
"Because, from the very start, you haven't started on my request, so I wasn't feeling too good." Qin Mo's fingers paused, his tone still calm. "I have something up, bye."
Something up?
What else is he up to other than the case?
Did he find something?
Director Huang could be quite quick in some matters.
Qin Mo had indeed found something.
There was definitely something wrong with the person who didn't join the action and had instead disappeared in the opposite direction.
Qin Mo lifted his head, put his silver phone away and stood up.
The sky was starting to dim, but the lights from the cars lit up the surrounding, giving an illusion of daytime.
The members of the Supreme Alliance were still in the queue for their identification check
Lin Feng was starting to get annoyed but remained cooperative nonetheless.
"Let them go." Wu Zhen took long strides forward in her police uniform and cap, her gaze scanning past the members. "I know them, there won't be a problem."
Another policeman hesitated. "But Director Huang said..."
"The vlogger is a female. Which one of them here looks like a girl to you?" Wu Zhen interrupted.
The policeman didn't rebut, nodding as he let them off.
Lin Feng was bewildered, he wasn't even close to this policewoman, why would she help them out?
Before he could figure it out, Wu Zhen turned towards Fatty. "Brother Mo is also in this mission, right? If not, the police wouldn't barge into Pure Color so quickly."
Fatty couldn't lie, so he diverted his gaze elsewhere.
Wu Zhen caught on instantly, breaking into a smile. "I visited the Qin family recently and had requested for him to rejoin the crime unit. Is he still around?"
Fatty kept telling himself not to look at the convenient store, but things often didn't go the way you wanted, he couldn't stop his gaze from casting over.
Initially, Wu Zhen didn't realize he was looking at the convenience store because due to the huge number of people and cars, a crowd was starting to form in front of the convenient store.
After a few seconds, she caught on, her mouth widening into a smile. "Is he in the convenient store?"
F*ck!
He really was a betrayer.
Fatty slapped his palms onto his head.
At this moment, Fu Jiu had just reached the convenience store. Without a thought, she pushed open the glass door.
Chapter 570: Sweet Collision
"Welcome," the shop attendant greeted once again.
After climbing through the ceiling, she couldn't help but admit the comfort that this warm greeting brought about.
Fu Jiu lifted her lids, smiling back at the shop attendant before heading back to her original seat.
Her gaze swept across the table; her things hadn't been touched.
Great!
"Miss." The shop attendant smiled. "This is for you."
A cup of Oden which was still warm.
Fu Jiu lifted her brows and smiled. "You must have forgotten, you have already given me the Oden before I went to the bathroom."
"No, it isn't the same bowl." The shop attendant hurriedly explained, "This bowl is from your friend."
Friend?
A chill ran through her spine, only one word forming in her mind: Busted!
"You friend has been waiting for some time." The shop attendant continued, seemingly confused, "He said that you must be hungry after climbing through the ceiling."
Fu Jiu's pupils contracted.
At this time, another voice interrupted her thoughts.
It was a deep and magnetizing voice which unknowingly sent chills through her spine.
"Why aren't you accepting it? Was I wrong? Do you not like Oden?" Qin Mo still held a cup of Americano in his hand, but he had deliberately moved to a spot concealed by the snack station. He took a step out, his gaze fixed on the girl's back. His voice was calm. "Miss Vlogger."
She didn't need to turn.
Fu Jiu already knew who he was.
That explained how the police knew she was in the air vent.
Everything made sense if it had been ordered by the Almighty.
As the footsteps approached, she decided to take charge of the situation. "Brother Mo, it's me."
Qin Mo froze midstep, glancing at the familiar face and deep gaze in front of him; light rays bounced off the youngster's eyes, it was simply mesmerising.
It's him!
It's actually him.
Qin Mo had once suspected youngster, but originally, he had assumed that Z was involved.
Was it just a copy?
Qin Mo's brows gradually knitted together.
"Brother Mo." Fu Jiu took another step forward, her left hand grabbing onto his wrist. "I can explain. You can turn me in, but remember to bail me out."
Regardless of who it was, their heart would definitely stir from a touch by such a beauty.
Qin Mo always prided himself in being impartial — but in the face of this nonchalant guy who wanted him to bail him out, Qin Mo's resolve started to waver.
His fingers tightened, looking at her from top to bottom.
The lips which were under his deep gaze were within reach.
The youngster in a female getup.
He could only think of anything else; something seemed out of his control.
Blood surged through him, sending his body temperature upwards.
Besides, the youngster was directing those glistening eyes at him. She looked every bit the demoness with her jet-black and long hair, the white shirt and skin as perfect as white jade. There was still a faint red hue on her cheeks, probably due to exhaustion from climbing through the air vent.
At this moment, the glass door was opened once again.
Before the Supreme Alliance members entered, Lin Feng's voice could be heard. "Captain, you are actually here! Wait a minute, is that a girl beside him?"
Chapter 571: Kiss, Kiss, Kiss
Lin Feng wasn't the only one in a daze, the entire Supreme Alliance team behind him was stunned.
Wasn't their captain attending to important business?
Was this his important business?
The main point was, this was the first time that there was a girl beside their captain!
Lin Feng nudged Yun Hu, who wore a face of bewilderment.
Wu Zhen was the last to enter. When she saw the scene in the convenience store, her lit up face darkened a few notches. "Brother Mo, what are you doing? Have you captured suspect?"
Just by the noise itself, Fu Jiu could tell a crowd had gathered.
If the Almighty wanted to expose her in this situation, she could only leave with the police and think about another plan afterward.
But before she could speak, someone tugged her left hand.
The next second, a familiar aromatic masculine scent flooded her senses.
Qin Mo didn't look at anyone, pressing onto the table behind Fu Jiu, his entire body bending low. He disregarded the shock that ran through the pair of eyes and pressed his lips down for a deep kiss!
That noble and dashing side profile, which was visible through the glass window, looked straight out of a romance movie poster.
The sirens were still wailing outside.
Other than the sharp inhales, the sound of sirens filled the air.
Fu Jiu couldn't seem to focus on the chaotic scene behind her.
Her heart thumped as his cold lips collided with hers.
His kiss was just like him; overbearing, valiant, not allowing any concessions, but still tender.
Lin Feng was at loss for words, his eyes wide as he pointed towards them. "This-this-this..." What's with this situation, was he flaunting his love right now?
Yun Hu was still in a daze.
Basically, no one anticipated Qin Mo's actions.
Only the Almighty could act with such oblivion in front of an audience.
Wu Zhen's eyes started to redden, jealousy churning within their depths.
Fatty still held his laptop, his entire being in shock. No, wait a moment, didn't Captain agree to locate the suspect?
The scene ahead was making him dizzy.
Fu Jiu was already dizzy, her breath was completely robbed away.
Qin Mo's aromatic tobacco scent filled her senses, driving everything else out.
Her heart thumped rapidly and was even starting to increase from the lack of oxygen.
The kiss robbed every inch of her strength.
The second he released her, his two hands pressed behind her in an overbearingly possessive stance. He titled his head towards the left towards the crowd. "What is it?"
His words were calm, his tone — husky from the kiss — still carried a mesmerizing aura.
His perfect profile, deep gaze, and nonchalance caught the crowd off guard.
Lin Feng mustered up his courage, jumping forward to ask, "Fatty said that you were here attending to important business."
The others nodded, directing their attention towards Qin Mo's face.
Qin Mo was calm as usual, asking instead, "Isn't a date important business?"
Da-date?!!
Wow! They must be hearing things!
How could their Captain be on a date?!
Next, Lin Feng was more curious about this 'girl' who hadn't spoken.
He titled his head over, preparing to take a good look...
Chapter 572: Hugging After the Kiss
Qin Mo was one step ahead, reaching out to press the girl's head deep into his chest so that her entire face was buried in his embrace.
That embrace was slightly overbearing. He directed a sharp glance over, his gaze chilly. "What is it? Are you guys here to disrupt my date?"
Who would dare!
Lin Feng wished he hadn't come, with upturned lips. "Captain, carry on, carry on, just ignore us."
Fu Jiu's nose pressed tightly onto his chest. Beneath his windbreaker, he wore a white cotton shirt, which radiated his warmth. She had imagined his body to be on the colder side, which wouldn't be nice to hug.
After two encounters, Fu Jiu thought otherwise. The Almighty's perfect body temperature and aromatic tobacco scent was perfect for nurturing at home.
Her lips curved upwards unknowingly; she knew the series of actions was to help her.
She rubbed her head forward as a sign of gratitude.
The Almighty turned to press his thin lips onto her ear and said in a hushed tone, "If you don't want them to see you like this, behave."
The Almighty wasn't appreciative of her gratitude, but the Almighty had sacrificed enough. If he hadn't mentioned 'putting on a show' beforehand, Fu Jiu would have resisted the kiss — it sent an uncontrollable, numbing feeling over her. Her thoughts were a mess and all her strength had been robbed off.
Why exactly did they kiss, wasn't a hug sufficient?
If there hadn't been anything supporting her behind, she probably wouldn't have been able to stand upright. Even at this moment, her heart still hadn't calmed down.
Besides, what did Lin Feng mean?
They were going to continue watching them?
She couldn't just stand in this position?
She reached out to tug on Qin Mo's sleeve, her voice hushed. "Brother Mo, get them to leave."
Qin Mo pressed onto the back of Fu Jiu's head, his lips upturned as he replied in a teasing voice that could only be heard by the both of them, "That depends on your performance."
What do you mean by my performance?
Were they really going to be watched the entire night?
Fu Jiu was starting to feel depressed.
How long were they going to hug?
She had a deep understanding of the Supreme Alliance members; they loved gossip, especially those within the team.
They were quick to spread whenever any of them got attached.
It was a team filled with 'monks', after all, which explained their behavior.
But if she was that 'girlfriend'...
Fu Jiu froze, tugging onto the Almighty's sleeve once again.
Qin Mo wasn't in a hurry.
He was indeed not in a rush, if he tossed all the necessary questioning aside, this was a rather plesant stance.
"I never knew Captain was so skilled in flaunting," Lin Feng whispered to Yun Hu.
Yun Hu remained silent, finding the entire situation odd.
Wu Zhen stood at the side, her fingers gradually tightening. In the end, she bit down on her lips. "Brother Mo, Director Huang is still waiting for your news inside."
Qin Mo lifted his lids, his voice calm. "I will only help if he keeps his promise."
What promise?
Wu Zhen was clueless and couldn't be the least bit bothered.
She only had eyes for the person in front of her.
Why?
Why was it like this?
She has been beside him for so many years.
Things were about to look hopeful.
Where exactly did this girl come from?
Wu Zhen pressed her nails deep into her palms, tiny rows of crescents appearing.
"Ah, I remember!"
Lin Feng slapped his head!
Chapter 573: The Feeling of a Date
"Captain, this-this, cough, cough, is she the one dressed as a demoness at the masquerade?!" Lin Feng grew increasingly excited, circling around them. "The side profile looks like her."
Qin Mo sept a sharp gaze over as a sign of warning, but he didn't deny the claims.
Thus, Lin Feng was much more certain. "Captain, did you confirm the relationship with a kiss?"
"Why? Can't I?" Qin Mo leisurely arched a brow.
Lin Feng widened his mouth, was that even possible?
"Are you guys leaving?" The moment Qin Mo spoke, Wu Zhen narrowed her eyes.
Who gave her the rights?
Who gave this woman the rights to be treated in such a way by Brother Mo?
Who exactly is she?
Her inability morphed into anger.
That was how Wu Zhen felt at this moment, but that wasn't something everyone would experience.
She wasn't as dense as before, she knew when to advance and retreat.
She couldn't be too aggressive as she was familiar with his temperament.
She had to figure out the girl's background.
That was her only thought.
She wouldn't just give up on Brother Mo — at the very least, she wanted a fair battle.
Wu Zhen couldn't seem to comprehend that a fair battle was just her wishful thinking.
She inhaled deeply, struggling to keep her emotions in check, convincing herself that there was still time. "Since Brother Mo is busy, we should go."
Go?
Fatty didn't want to go, his computer had just detected something!
How was that possible?
Didn't they already track down the IP address? Wasn't it the black tie?
But why was there another red alert sign on the screen?
But the alert remained silent.
With just a look at Fatty's face, Qin Mo guessed that he had more to say hence his voice hardened. "Those that aren't going, are you planning to be vegetarian for the rest of the week? Or do you wish to train for 24 hours."
The entire team froze, retreating backward.
Food was of utmost importance to Fatty. Besides, the moment he moved his laptop, the alert disappeared.
Was there a problem?
Fatty didn't have the courage to ask, afraid to be without meat.
Instead, he reached out to shut his laptop.
The members of the Supreme Alliance were chased out of the convenience store just like that.
Outside, Lin Feng was still in a daze. "Do you think Captain is really dating?"
"It's possible!" Fatty replied seriously, "that explains why he disregarded the case at hand, which is a behavior totally out of his character."
Lin Feng felt a wave of melancholy wash through him as he glanced up at the skies. "I thought that perhaps I would be attached earlier than Captain, I never expected, someone as out of reach as the clouds to be taken. Why is someone like me, who is as grounded as the sunflower, still living without a feminine touch."
Yun Hu swept them a glance.
Lin Feng reached out to lean against his shoulder. "Fortunately Little Spade has a girlfriend. If he had followed us to Pure Color, he would have been distressed by that kiss."
Yun Hu arched a brow, clearly having more to add.
"You don't have to spell it out, I understand," Lin Feng cut him off before he could have said a word. "I have never seen anyone more emotional than Little Spade. His little butler mentioned that he had trained day in and out to reach his current level — just for our captain. He decided to walk a path he never ventured before just for someone else. Such dedication is worthy of respect."
"Oh," Yun Hu exclaimed. "If he really loves captain that much, why did he find a girlfriend?"
"Probably out of sadness." Lin Feng shook his head. "After the masquerade, I sent Little Spade the photo of Captain kissing the girl. Initially, he didn't reply but the next day, he replied with a row of 6666 and a few hours later, he got himself a girlfriend. The feeling of falling for a straight guy and having to see him kiss someone else... I understand it so well, aish, as a brother, I can empathize."
That seemed to make sense, the timing seemed to match as well.
But... Yun Hu turned back towards the convenience store.
Why does the girl's back view seem to similar to Little Spade's?
Or was he over thinking?
It probably wasn't that complicated.
Captain didn't seem gay.
Other than the members of the Supreme Alliance, there hadn't been anyone else in the convenience store; everyone was still surrounding Pure Color.
There was a huge commotion, obvious from the speeding police cars.
Lin Feng felt depressed. "Who exactly are they arresting, why does it seem so serious?"
It was indeed a serious incident, if it wasn't, their captain wouldn't be here.
Yun Hu kept the last sentence to himself, some things didn't have to be spoken aloud.
But some had to.
Meanwhile, Qin Mo retained his position but the next time he spoke, his tone was deep. "I'm waiting for your explanation."
But did he have to continue hugging her?
Fu Jiu wanted to inch out.
Qin Mo replied faintly, "They haven't left and Wu Zhen is still outside."
She had to explain in his embrace.
Besides, the feeling wasn't bad.
But actually, the Almighty's appearance was a sounding alarm.
He was clearly back in the crime squad.
Thus, for her future actions, she always had to be aware of who she faced.
"I had to do it." That was her opening statement.
Qin Mo lifted a brow, remaining silent.
The person in his embrace tightened both arms. "My girlfriend was the target of the two bast*rds."
Girlfriend?
This word.
Qin Mo paused his left hand, his eyes dimming, that photo wasn't fabricated?
Fu Jiu was still channeling her emotions as a boyfriend. "Brother Mo, if it was you, would you be able to tolerate your girlfriend being bullied? I had to take action."
"Even if your action might get you sued?" Qin Mo felt his warm heart chill instantly. Even though she was still in his arms, he felt a distance further than before.
Fu Jiu felt her world dimming. "That doesn't matter, aren't they the ones that deserve to be arrested?"
"Even if they are, it's the police's responsibility." It was the first time Qin Mo returned her gaze in this situation. "It's not up to you."
Fu Jiu didn't hide, her eyes shining brightly. "I didn't want to, but it was too late. Brother Mo, since you have seen the livestream, you should be clear about the teacher's character, i
I don't feel safe with such a teacher near Mengran."
Qin Mo stared at the hateful person in front of him, trying to decipher the truth in her words. He tightened his fingers, his lips upturned. "What's with this, the power of love?"
"Yes." Fu Jiu didn't deny it.
But after her acknowledgment, Qin Mo's eyes changed.
It was calm like the waters and deep like the sea in the dark, tumultuous and unfathomable, but nonetheless, Fu Jiu could sense his difference.
"Brother Mo..."
Qin Mo's left hand gripped onto the youngster's waist, his voice chilly. "You better stop talking about your sacrificial love."
Fu Jiu remained silent.
No one said a word.
The temperature seemed to plunge.
The shop attendant didn't dare to look at them.
Qin Mo released his hands in the end, the warmth leaving his eyes, his side profile distant. "How long have you been planning this?"
"Quite a while, before we went to Tokyo." Fu Jiu knew she couldn't tell the truth. She hung her head. "I have had feelings for Mengran for a while, you should be aware of my past self. At that time, many girls despised me but she didn't, hence, after I had revealed my real appearance, I have been noticing her. She loves to smile and would often be seen jumping about. When she spots delicious food, she would pause and tell others about it. I have never seen her upset before but somehow, she started to change, becoming afraid, especially in school."
Fu Jiu was being honest about her emotions.
And because the emotions were real, Qin Mo would never have known that the person she was describing wasn't Li Mengran, but rather someone who had passed on already.
A tenderness that came from reminiscing crept onto her face.
Qin Mo felt bitter; it tasted like the unripe apricot he had when he was young.
Once it reached his throat, it seemed too bitter to be swallowed.
"I originally planned to wait till after the National League," Fu Jiu continued, deep darkness appearing within the depths of her eyes. "But I never expected them to be so despicable! After I found out that Mengran's fears were because of them, I started to make preparations. Yang Ming held a condition that he used to threaten Mengran, if she didn't agree to his demands, he would potentially make her fail. If I had waited for the police to investigate, it would have been too late. Before I made my move, I thought a lot, even during my wait here. Brother Mo, do you remember? I once told you that the view from such convenience stores was the best, but I never expected to use it this time."
Qin Mo laughed, the corners of his lips distant. "Should I be commending your intelligence?"
Fu Jiu knew he was mad, but in order to prevent the Almighty from finding out that she was Z, she had to disguise herself well.
Once the youngster was done, he stuffed his hands into his pockets, his voice seemingly nonchalant. "Do you like her that much that you are willing to cross-dress?"
Fu Jiu opened her mouth, about to explain that it would aid the filming process, but the Almighty cut her off.
"Fu Jiu, you chose to disregard your principals for a girl. Do I get that right?
This was the first time the Almighty addressed her by her full name.
Fu Jiu lifted her head, glancing over at him.
Qin Mo grabbed his lighter and a cigarette, turning to light it; his deep features blurring under the smoke from the cigarette, his reflection on the glass window distant — with a hint of loneliness?
Chapter 574: Did You Think I Want to Kiss You?
Fu Jiu wanted to clarify that she hadn't forgotten her principles, but at this moment, the more she said, the more mistakes she would make.
So it was best to remain silent.
Time seemed to crawl.
She started wondering if she would be sent to the police.
Qin Mo spoke, his tone cold, "If you don't want anyone to find out, break up with your girlfriend."
Fu Jiu lifted her head, her lips falling apart.
"Her presence obviously isn't going to bring about any benefits." Qin Mo didn't give Fu Jiu any chance to speak. He approached her, his eyes dimming. "It is also a negative influence on the National League, go think about what exactly is important."
Qin Mo calmed his tone. "Go home with me right now, you'll be in an enclosed environment that would aid your thought."
Fu Jiu arched a brow, was the Almighty planning to take care of her personally?
He wouldn't let her home or turn her in; he must still be suspicious.
But to return back with the Almighty at this hour meant that she would have to stay overnight...
Fu Jiu paused, knowing that any resistance wouldn't be intelligent.
Fortunately, this outfit tightened her chest on top of the binding.
If not, with such a meeting, the Almighty would already be suspicious of her identity.
Fu Jiu was aware that she had to maintain a newbie's demeanor. She could have the skill of a hacker, but not use her skills like that.
She needed to look green.
Hence, she had to follow Qin Mo's demands.
The man beside her drove much faster than usual.
From the rear mirror, police cars could still be seen zooming past.
The Almighty wasn't going to turn her in, but the Almighty hadn't brought her to somewhere familiar either.
"Brother Mo, where is this?" Fu Jiu lifted her head towards the rows of the two-story complex.
Qin Mo pressed his car keys, his eyes darkening. "My place."
"Brother Mo, you brought me to such a deserted place, are you perhaps going to shut me in here?" Even though she sounded harsh, she leaned an arm over Qin Mo's shoulder, her lips curved into a teasing but familiar smile.
Qin Mo titled his head with an enigmatic smile. "What do you think?"
Fu Jiu: "..."
Shucks, that seems possible.
But its too late to escape.
"Go in." Qin Mo pressed Fu Jiu's back forward, he didn't exert much force but carried a threatening vibe.
Fu Jiu couldn't accustom to the sudden darkness. "It's dark."
Qin Mo glanced at the person in front, bending down abruptly.
Fu Jiu's breath started to quicken, her gaze landing on the Almighty's lips unknowingly.
"I'm just switching on the lights." Qin Mo pressed his palm onto the wall behind Fu Jiu. When he sensed her line of sight, his lips curved into a mocking smile. "What did you think I was going to do?"
"Nothing." Fu Jiu remained composed, smiling faintly as she faced the ravishing face being lit up by the light. He was close, his breath having the ability to disrupt her thoughts. Did she contract a kissing syndrome? Just now when the Almighty bent, she thought...
Qin Mo glanced at the face opposite him, his fingers reaching out to caress her, his lids lowered. She was trapped in the entrance, his fingers pressed onto those enticing lips, his voice silky rich. "Did you think I was going to kiss you?"
Chapter 575: Hug? Kiss? or Sex?
Although her blood started to surge from the chilly touch, the blood flow around her heart seemed slower than usual.
Fu Jiu tilted her head to the side, avoiding his roaming fingers, but the feeling still lingered on her lips. She used the back of her palms to give it a rub before smiling. "A little, Brother Mo, if I turn gay from your constant seduction, you would have to take responsibility."
Qin Mo's eyes darkened but he kept the stance. "I'll take responsibility, keeping you here would be well suited."
Fu Jiu: Was he serious? Isn't he sacrificing too much just to interrogate her?
"How are you going to make me pay?" Qin Mo arched a brow, signaling for her continue.
She was completely unprepared, rattling anything that came to mind.
Qin Mo saw through her thoughts, his gaze chilling. He moved his left hand, lowering his voice. "A Hug? Kiss? Or... sex?"
He titled his face, the air around him and his voice casting a bewitching spell.
It was probably that the overpowering self-restraint, once slightly tainted, would turn into an enchanting devil.
That interrogation left her... defenseless.
Fu Jiu heard the underlying threat, taking the initiative to admit her mistake. "I won't make you pay, I was wrong."
Qin Mo lifted his brow, remaining stationary.
"Actually, I was a little hesitant about the planning." Fu Jiu lifted her lids, her eyes bright. "But there wasn't a choice, someone had to expose them or Li Mengran..."
Qin Mo's interrupted with a calm voice, seemingly unwilling to hear that name. "You could have gone to the police, do you have no faith in them?"
"Honestly, no," Fu Jiu admitted coolly since there wasn't a point in lying to the Almighty.
Qin Mo retracted his hand, his gaze still focused on her. "Is that the reason behind imitating Z?"
"Yes." Fu Jiu's eyes glowed, the Almighty was starting to suspect her. But regardless of how smart he was, he would never have expected Z to have reborn. Hence, he would assume she had been imitating Z.
Other than being reborn, she didn't seem particularly better than him in any aspect.
Fortunately, Fu Jiu had already prepared this excuse in advance. "That day, after our chat, I checked up on Z. I realized that she had tackled such cases before, which gave me some inspiration and prompted the case afterward."
"Even for a hacker, the first case would be linked to someone important. Are you hinting at that?" Qin Mo asked calmly.
Fu Jiu's fingers paused. He had managed to find the first case she had taken up in her previous life?
As expected of the Almighty — he had arranged all his thoughts.
She had never met such an evenly matched opponent.
Thus, this encounter ignited a competitive spirit within her.
But the next time the Almighty used his seduction, she had to persist, she couldn't just fall for his spell.
"I want to explain." Fu Jiu caught his gaze. "Why I took action before the National League."
She knew how important the National League was to him.
It wasn't just him, the National League was important to the entire Supreme Alliance.
If the situation hadn't been so urgent, she wouldn't have taken action.
Chapter 576: Did I Say You Can Go Home?
Qin Mo's eyes dimmed, spitting another line, "Between the National League and Li Mengran, which do you value more?"
It was a question of choice.
Fu Jiu wasn't certain how a person in a relationship would feel. If she was really in a relationship with Li Mengran, she would definitely view her with higher importance, but for this matter, Fu Jiu didn't want to lie.
"The National League." Fu Jiu added another line, "But Li Mengran is my girlfriend."
Qin Mo lifted a brow. "A girlfriend that isn't as important as the National League?"
"Yes, at this moment." Fu Jiu couldn't wrap her mind over it, but the Almighty seemed less distant.
Qin Mo continued calmly, "Then she isn't that important."
"She is important, too." Fu Jiu wanted the Almighty to know she had reasons for taking action.
Qin Mo remained silent, his gaze dimming once more.
Next, he removed his outerwear, tossing it onto the sofa carelessly, leaving only a white shirt. He had his sleeves cuffed up, stuffing his hands into his pockets as he glanced at Fu Jiu. Even though he hadn't spoken, the threat was obvious.
Fu Jiu was smart enough to get the hint, the moment his gaze shifted, she sealed her mouth.
"Just this once." Qin Mo narrowed the gap between them, his deep gaze peeking through long and dense lashes. "If it happens again, I'm going to lock you up."
Fu Jiu didn't doubt him at all, but judging from his tone, he seemed to have accepted her excuse. Posing as Li Mengran's boyfriend was indeed a brilliant move.
However, the police would definitely bring Li Mengran in for questioning. Thus, she was worried about one thing.
She hadn't expected to be dragged here by the Almighty.
Hence, she couldn't make calls.
As the plan was at its end, she had to tell Li Mengran not to say a word about the girl to the police.
There wasn't much danger involved, but that wouldn't stop the police from questioning Li Mengran.
Fu Jiu was still contemplating when a familiar low voice asked, "How long are you going to wear that female outfit?"
Fu Jiu lifted her lids, bumping straight into his calm gaze. The Almighty frowned slightly, seemingly not too pleased with her current appearance.
Fu Jiu understood a straight guy's thoughts, they wouldn't be able to accept cross-dressing.
The Almighty was just too straight.
She wasn't the least bit close.
Qin Mo wasn't too straight but the youngster dressed in a female outfit sent extreme thoughts through his mind.
Ever since he brought the youngster in, a million punishments flashed through his mind.
One of which was to obtain him.
However, he was clear that once he acted that way, their relationship would never be the same again — which forced him to let go.
But the youngster kept hovering at his side with a female's appearance, having zero self-consciousness.
"I'll change once I'm home." Fu Jiu understood his intentions by his unwavering stare. It would be best to never dress as a female in front of the Almighty again. It would always serve as a reminder of the kiss.
Qin Mo tugged his collar, tilting his head over. "Did I say you can go home?"
Fu Jiu: ... Was she really going to sleep overnight here?
"I exerted much brain power in order to capture you. So, Little Jiu, you better behave and stop testing my patience." Qin Mo lifted a brow, tossing a white sweater onto her head. "Change out of your clothes before coming out."
Chapter 577: Still Jealous
Fu Jiu pulled the sweater away from her eyes, keeping her mouth shut.
After all, it was safer for her to be dressed as a male.
Having bound her chest, she wasn't that worried.
But if she had to to sleep with the Almighty, she needed to find another layer of protection.
Hence, Fu Jiu kept her undershirt on.
The Almighty's clothes were way too big for her.
In particular his sweater, she had to roll up the sleeves three times.
Qin Mo turned with a wine glass in his hands, taking in the youngster's current state; she lifted her dragging pants, the face beneath the short silver hair looking slightly moody, looking like a young child who had stolen his parent's clothes.
Fu Jiu lifted her lids, when she realised the Almighty had no intention on helping her, she pouted. "The clothes are too big, they don't suit me."
"Do you finally know how short you are?" Qin Mo downed a sip of wine, his voice calm. "Ceiling-climber scholar."
Fu Jiu slipped, almost falling forward. The Almighty's habit of giving her nicknames really had to go.
Qin Mo lowered his lids towards his lit up phone screen. "Do you have an answer to the matter I got you to think about?"
"What matter?" Fu Jiu tugged the long sleeves. "Which is it?"
Qin Mo placed his wine glass down, walking towards her and grabbing onto her arm to fold the sleeves for her. His profile was ravishing. "The breakup."
His words were clear, his tone stern.
Fu Jiu suddenly remembered there was indeed such a matter.
But she couldn't agree to it so quickly as it would look suspicious.
She lowered her head, keeping silent.
Qin Mo broke into an enigmatic smile, pausing mid action. "Why? You can't bear to?"
"This is my first official relationship." Fu Jiu was telling the truth. "Brother Mo, even though I have confessed many times, this is the only time it has succeeded."
Qin Mo exerted more strength. "You are aware of the number of times you confessed?"
Fu Jiu paused, why did she have to mention that, it definitely wasn't anything she should be proud of.
"It's my first time after all, give me some time."
There shouldn't be anything wrong with her reply.
Qin Mo halted his gaze, replying in a low tone, "One day."
"What?" Fu Jiu lifted her lids.
Qin Mo continued folding the youngster's sleeves, his profile not exposing any emotion. "I'll give you one day, you listen carefully, it's my limit."
Fu Jiu didn't reply instantly.
It was the first time Qin Mo had experienced so many emotions.
He was worried that he would hear resistance.
Worried?
When did he start feeling such weird emotions?
He was feeling a little guilty that he used such methods to force the youngster to breakup, but he couldn't tolerate the youngster being with a girl.
Since it wasn't that serious, he would completely eradicate it.
He wouldn't allow anything to blossom.
This time, he had learnt his lesson.
From now on, there would only be him beside the youngster.
"Alright." Fu Jiu tried to appear slightly depressed, even her voice sounded raspy. "I'll try to let myself forget."
Qin Mo glanced at the lowered head, the furry ball of silver hair.
He received the answer he wanted, but he didn't feel that pleased.
Because Qin Mo realized, if possible, he didn't want to see the youngster upset — specially not to such an extent and it wasn't even because of him, but a girl.
Chapter 578: Sleep Together
"I want some time alone." Fu Jiu struggled to put on an act. "I'll head back to think about how to break it to Mengran since I was the one who confessed, after all."
The moment she finished speaking, the room temperature seemed to dip.
Qin Mo remained silent.
Fu Jiu assumed he had agreed, but just as she was about to turn and leave, Qin Mo reached out, leaning his palms onto the shoe rack to block her path.
He kept his back bent, his head lowering towards her face, the hot air landing onto her ear, sending a numbing sensation through her.
"I said I'm tired today." Qin Mo paused, an indecipherable emotion tainting his tone. "Are you that upset?"
Fu Jiu obviously nodded. "A little."
"Have some alcohol." Qin Mo tugged on the youngster's back. "Brother will accompany you."
Fu Jiu felt that she made the wrong move again.
She never would have expected him to remember he was still her brother.
Simply put, she wouldn't be leaving.
They opened a bottle of wine.
Fu Jiu didn't drink much, she had to stay sober.
After all, there was only one room.
The Almighty didn't even give her the chance to volunteer to sleep on the sofa, his gaze calm. "Don't you dare to sleep with me? What are you scared about?"
"Brother Mo, why does it feel like you're going to watch me for 24 hours?" Fu Jiu wasn't dumb, the Almighty definitely had a motive.
Qin Mo titled his head, lit a cigarette and swiped on his phone, tossing it over to her.
Fu Jiu glanced at the message, her gaze in shock.
There wasn't much, just one sentence.
"Tomorrow at 8 am, Z will take action."
Fu Jiu lifted a brow, the Almighty was still suspicious of her.
"Stay here tonight." Qin Mo lifted his lids. "I won't watch you for 24 hours in the future."
Fu Jiu smiled faintly. "Alright, for the sake of my future freedom."
This was indeed an opportunity to get completely rid of his suspicion.
But what exactly was the imposter up to?
Fu Jiu knew the Almighty wouldn't say much.
The text he showed her was already an exception, but sleeping in the same room — and even on the same bed — was definitely a change.
Once the lights were off, the room sank into darkness, but Fu Jiu could still clearly make out the general layout through the faint light from the moon.
Even with her clothes on, Fu Jiu couldn't fall asleep.
How should she explain; kissing made a world of a difference.
Fu Jiu constantly felt that the moment the familiar air neared, the image of him kissing her would float into mind.
It was deep, just like the ocean.
This thought prompted her to inch away.
Her lips hadn't recovered, when her tongue washed across, she could still feel the injury.
It was slightly itchy , Fu Jiu thought, inching back a little more.
Suddenly, the light came on.
A towering figure inched over, hovering above Fu Jiu's head, an oppressive threat washing over her.
The Almighty's breath fell onto her.
For the very first time, she felt dizzy.
The Almighty was staring at her closely as she locked eyes with him.
Fu Jiu couldn't return the gaze.
Qin Mo lowered his head, his gaze dimming from her avoidance. But the moment it landed on her lips, his lips curved upwards. "Itchy? Or what are you thinking about?"
Chapter 579: Bed Seduction
"It's itchy. The cold weather isn't helping and today..." Fu Jiu didn't finish her sentence mainly due to embarrassment. The mark remained after just being kissed twice.
Qin Mo reached his hand out, preparing to caress her lips.
What joke was this position?
Fu Jiu bolted upright, reducing the intimacy.
After she sat upright, the position seemed even more intimate.
Fu Jiu couldn't understand the Almighty with his decision to install a mirror beside the bed.
She tilted her head, bumping straight into their reflection.
That ravishing man bent one knee on the bed, both arms at her side as he inched forward, his shirt half undone, exposing his firm chest. He asked in a low tone, "What is it, why did you stop?"
Regardless of the position or the appearance, the Almighty's presence was too overpowering.
Fu Jiu remained silent, just looking at this scene would send inappropriate images through her mind.
It was all attributed to the Almighty's good looks that thoughts would start to fly with the presence of abstinence.
He seemed to have noticed her gaze.
Qin Mo titled, following her line of sight.
Their reflection showed the youngster being trapped under him, his pure white shirt skewed to the side, exposing his exquisite collarbones and perfect pale skin. His lips were slightly apart, the surprise in his eyes carrying slight moisture.
Qin Mo's eyes darkened.
In fact, regardless of what the youngster wore, it didn't seem to affect his feelings.
He wanted to rip off all his clothes, marring his entire body with his trace. It wasn't just his lips, he wanted to mark his ears, neck, collar bone and everywhere else possible.
It seemed odd, even though the youngster had the same body structure, it didn't obstruct his thoughts.
He wanted the youngster's legs around his waist, he yearned to hear the youngster begging for mercy.
It was the same thought as to when he just entered the room; to possess this person, for the youngster to be his completely.
The youngster carried a sweet candylike scent as though pushing him to complete the act.
Even his blood was starting to surge.
After experiencing the youngster's taste, he yearned for more, but Qin Mo understood that once he acted, he would lose everything.
Hence, with the youngster's sweater as a barrier, he moved his palms slowly, inch by inch, moving the youngster back to his original position. "If you aren't sleeping, I won't mind tossing you out the window for your fans to see. Their favorite Little Spade doesn't just know how to climb walls and ceilings, he can also breathe seductively. Or would you rather Brother teach you more things, for instance, brushing up your kissing techniques, hmm?"
As the breath approached her lips, Fu Jiu was sure that the textbooks weren't wrong, she had to stay clear of guys with raging hormones.
Even though the Almighty wasn't gay, what if her looks prompted him to take action?
She wouldn't have the power to resist.
"I'm sleeping." Fu Jiu titled her head to the side seriously before widening her eyes to add another line, "Goodnight, Brother Mo."
Qin Mo lowered his head, restraint flashing in the depths of his eyes.
The youngster didn't notice the restraint after the lights went off, but the temperature in the room seemed to increase...
Chapter 580: Flaunting Love while Brushing Teeth
Buzz!
When Fu Jiu turned towards the vibrating phone, Qin Mo had already left the room with the phone in hand.
It was a call from Director Huang, whose voice was deep. "This case is rather tricky. If you have time, head down to the station tomorrow."
"I understand." Qin Mo kept his gaze on the youngster. In the end, he didn't return, choosing to sleep on the sofa instead.
On the next day at 8 am, Z's imposter took action, but the result was unexpected.
The forecasted maiden's sacrifice hadn't appeared.
Instead, images were exposed, posing trouble for the police.
Fu Jiu didn't sleep well, waking up to the headlines of the news.
Qin Mo sat on the sofa, his fingers pressing down on the remote, his tone calm. "The person you were imitating seems to have targeted the same matter."
Fu Jiu lifted a brow. "Brother Mo, are you talking about Z?"
"What do you think she meant by the forecasted maiden's sacrifice?" Qin Mo asked.
Fu jiu sat down. "Are you trying to sound me out the moment I wake up?"
"I'm trying to analyze the case." Qin Mo placed a hand on the youngster's head. "My suspicion has been reduced by 80%, are you glad?"
That nonchalant tone, is he trying to placate a child? Or is he just brushing it aside...
Fu Jiu suggested, "Can't you fill up the additional 20%?"
"It's currently 25%." Qin Mo stood up, his profile ravishing, even the way he fastened his buttons were filled with asceticism. "I don't like bargaining."
Fu Jiu: ... That absurd 5%!
"Go and wash up before heading to the police station with me," Qin Mo spoke, his voice deep.
Fu Jiu was already in the bathroom, squeezing toothpaste with her head lowered. When she lifted her head back up, she locked eyes with the man in the mirror. "What are you doing?"
"To remove that 25% suspicion." Qin Mo was originally leaning against the door as he watched the youngster brushing his teeth, avoiding the injury on his lips.
He frowned, walking over to take the youngster's toothbrush, gripping onto his chin. "Open your mouth."
There were bubbles in her mouth, but she didn't think it would affect her charm. "I have never let anyone brush my teeth, not even when I was younger and had to get a stool to reach the sink."
"You don't need compliments, what about some candy?" Qin Mo lifted a brow, rather than an oppressive vibe, there was more tenderness. "Stop talking, gaggle your mouth."
Fu Jiu behaved, obeying to his orders.
Once the water entered her mouth, she started to gaggle.
That moment, even the morning rays seemed gentler.
Qin Mo always knew of the youngster's flawless skin, but under the sun rays, it seemed like a treasured white jade, his fingers still carrying the warmth from the contact.
He must be a complete gay because regardless of the youngster's appearance, he seemed to lose control of himself.
He had a strong urge to possess him.
It was so intense that even the youngster's breath could send a burning sensation through him.
However, it wasn't time to unleash the beast within him as it might potentially hurt their friendship.
He didn't want to see resistance within youngster's eyes, not even a little...
