Chapter 54: New Mission (2)
Li Fei studied him for a moment, then snapped her fingers, the sound crisp in the quiet room. The maid, who had lingered near the door, moved, retrieving a thin file from the desk and handing it to Lin Mu. Her fingers brushed his briefly, cool and fleeting, before she stepped back into the shadows.
’ A file? There’s something inside.’
"What’s this?" Lin Mu asked, his voice steady as he flipped open the file, his eyes scanning the neatly typed documents within and landing on one that said the words: Tian Jiang Academy, stood out in bold, followed by his name and a registration number.
Li Fei leaned forward, her elbows resting on the desk, her fingers steepled. " That’s your academy documents." she said, her tone matter-of-fact. "I’ve enrolled you at Tian Jiang Academy. I need you to do something for me there."
’ Looks like she’s serious about helping me move up. but this is a bit too quick if you ask me, just what is she planning this time.’
Lin Mu’s brow furrowed, but he kept his composure, his fingers tightening slightly on the file. "And what exactly do you need me to do?"
" I’m glad you’re enrolling me in such a prestigious academy but, I’m not dumb enough to believe that’s the only reason you had me enrolled." he said, his voice calm but edged with curiosity.
" Hahahaha, still as bold as ever aren’t you." Li Fei leaned back, her luscious lips breaking into an enchanting smirk.
