The little female is incredibly sweet and soft, healing the five evil beasts right from the start.

Chapter 192 Dinner Party
When Jiang Mian saw this message, his finger remained suspended in mid-air, not landing on the projection screen of the quantum computer for a long time.

She's not home right now, and she's out having dinner with another orc.

Yesterday, I had just come here to eat with Lin Xuan and encountered that incident. Today, I came to the same commercial city to eat with another orc, and the orc was male.

Why am I starting to worry that the other person is angry?
However, Jiang Mian still told the truth. If she lied, she might be exposed later, and the other party would be even angrier. It was better to just tell the truth.

So Jiang Mian first told Chi Lin about what had happened that day.

She didn't specify the gender of the person who invited her to dinner, only saying that someone invited her over, and then she used this opportunity to catch the assassin who tried to kill her with Li Yan.

Once Li Yan interrogates another assassin, he will be able to determine who hates him so much that they want to kill her.

Chi Lin: Who did you eat with? A man or a woman?

To everyone's surprise, Chi Lin's first reaction was also this.

They really do share the same focus.

Jiang Mian then spoke directly without reservation.

Jiang Mian: He's a male patient of mine. He invited me over for a meal to express his gratitude.

Then she quickly added an explanation.

Jiang Mian: Actually, I just wanted to use him as a tool to lure out the killer again. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed under normal circumstances.

Chi Lin: Are you injured?

Jiang Mian: No.

Chi Lin: Which restaurant are you at? I happen to be in the shopping mall too, I'll come find you.

Chi Lin: Your friend probably doesn't care about my past.

Jiang Mian paused slightly when she saw the two messages Chi Lin sent. How could Chi Lin have such a shameless attitude?

Although she understood what Chi Lin was really thinking, she guessed it was jealousy again.

Jiang Mian: You can come pick me up after I finish eating with him.

This is better than him suddenly joining, since they only invited Jiang Mian.
Jiang Mian was too embarrassed to invite any more people over for dinner.

The main reason is that the White Fox Youth invited her first, and it doesn't feel right to have someone else come halfway through.

Chi Lin: Okay, message me after you finish eating and I'll come pick you up.

Jiang Mian: Okay.

Actually, it won't just be Chi Lin coming to pick her up; Li Yan will also come to pick her up together.

But it's okay.

"Dr. Jiang, please come in quickly." Hu Jiu looked at Jiang Mian, who was walking very slowly because she was checking her personal terminal to reply to messages.

Jiang Mian then lowered her wrist and walked into the private room with him.

The two of them ate together.

Fox Nine had been serving Jiang Mian his meals.

"Dr. Jiang, try this!"

"Dr. Jiang, this is delicious!"

"Dr. Jiang, you must try this!"

"Dr. Jiang, you must try this plate of shrimp I peeled, it's delicious!"

……

Jiang Mian looked at Hu Jiu's enthusiastic words, which sounded like she had a strong desire to share, and her very bright amber eyes seemed to be looking forward to her tasting it soon.

I simply hope she enjoys her meal.

Jiang Mian couldn't refuse for the time being, so under Hu Jiu's expectant gaze, she ate quite a lot. However, she still said, "You should eat too."

Fox Nine nodded and started eating along with them.

The two of them had a pleasant meal together, mainly because Fox Nine was very enthusiastic.

Jiang Mian couldn't help but feel happy as well.

During their conversation, Hu Jiu shared her work experiences with Jiang Mian.

"So how do you feel about work now?" Jiang Mian felt that the other person really wanted her to ask this question. Don't ask her how she knew; it's just that the other person's eyes seemed to be able to speak, eagerly awaiting her to ask this question.

"Now I sit in the office every day and don't have to pick up trash anymore. Every day is clean and tidy, which is great!" Fox Nine grinned, and her two white fox ears twitched.

"That's great!" Jiang Mian readily agreed.

"Well, mainly because I have someone I like, I should pay attention to my image..." Fox Nine's gaze darted around as she muttered softly.

"What?" Jiang Mian hadn't noticed while she was eating.

"No, it's nothing!" Fox Nine diligently ate her rice.

After the big meal.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Jiang Mian took out a gift she had prepared from her pocket. "This is a gift for you."

Because I felt a little guilty for treating the other person as a tool, I prepared a gift.

Fox Nine was completely unaware of the situation; her eyes were shining as she looked at the gift box Jiang Mian handed her.

Mingming's beautiful eyes, like the setting sun, were fixed on the gift box Jiang Mian handed him, looking very eager to receive it. However, his movements were somewhat flustered. "Really, really for me? But I didn't prepare a gift for you."

At this moment, Fox Nine also felt a little annoyed.

Why did he do this? Why didn't he think of this before he came?

That's a huge loss of points.

Jiang Mian felt a little embarrassed when she saw him like this, as if the gift she had given him was something very precious.

This gift was merely her compensation for the other person being used as her tool, so naturally Jiang Mian dared not say it aloud.

"It's really for you." Jiang Mian nodded with a slight smile.

Fox Nine accepted Jiang Mian's gift, her eight white teeth flashing as she smiled: "I'll make up for it with another gift next time. It was my mistake not to prepare one this time."

"No need." Hearing the other person say that, Jiang Mian felt even more guilty.

"Yes, I will!" Fox Nine replied matter-of-factly.

Looking into the other person's pure, clear, and bright amber eyes, Jiang Mian couldn't bear to deceive them for a moment.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to get over it.

So Jiang Mian told the truth.

“Actually, I gave you this gift to thank you,” Jiang Mian slowly began. “The reason I agreed to come over for dinner was to lure out the person who wanted to assassinate me, thereby exposing the mastermind behind it all.”

Fox Nine paused, and just as Jiang Mian thought the other party would be a little bothered or angry, he asked, "Has the assassin been lured out? Could it be the man who drove the hoverbike earlier?"

Jiang Mian paused slightly upon hearing this, surprised by his reaction, and replied, "It's not that man, but we've already lured him out, and I've captured my orc."

Li Yan has already interrogated her and said he wants to tell her in person.

Chi Lin and Li Yan have already obtained the results of their interrogation. Although neither of them revealed who it was, Jiang Mian has guessed that it is highly likely to be Jiang Yu, the fake heiress from the capital.

"That's good." Hu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Jiang Mian, "You could have told me earlier, so I could have made preparations, stayed vigilant, and protected you."

"It's alright, it's all in the past." Jiang Mian smiled. "I'm glad you don't mind."

Fox Nine smiled and said, "I don't mind. You can call me anytime you need help in the future."
