"Yes Yes……"

Mann was silent for a while, and nodded for a while. After a while, he let out a sigh of relief and hung up the communication.

Immediately afterwards, he stepped out of the door.

"Everyone come out."

He clapped his hands vigorously, then stood at the door, waiting for the rest of the team members to arrive.

Everyone's reaction was quick, and it only took more than ten seconds for the doors to open one by one.

"Just now, I received a communication from Mr. 'moon'."

Mann glanced around, and then the corners of his mouth gradually turned up, revealing a smile.

"He told me that Faraday would not bother us anymore. That is to say, we can leave the safe house."

"finally!"

Rebecca spread her arms and jumped up excitedly—of course, she only jumped up to the height of Dorio's shoulders next to her.

"what's the situation?"

Dorio turned her body slightly to avoid being hit, and said with a frown.

"Did Mr. 'moon' finally drain Faraday of his remaining value and execute him?"

"Do not."

 Xie Qiwei immediately shook her head and denied it.

"During this week, Faraday has been very active, and even just released a mission an hour ago."

Although she is in the safe house, Qi Wei is still very careful to observe the outside world through the Internet, especially the situation of Faraday.

After a short pause, she continued speaking.

"However, none of these missions were about us, not for a whole week. I reached out to friends with a wide network and the response there was the same, like we were forgotten."

"That is how the matter……"

Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw confusion in each other's eyes.

"So, you can go now, right?"

At this moment, Lucy, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised her head.

Her eyes flickered for a moment, and then she asked in a calm voice.

Volume 149: Chapter 140 Chapter [-] Seven: Meeting

"of course."

Facing Lucy's question, Mann nodded without thinking.

The 'moon' communication, that's what it actually means, informing them that it's time to leave the safe house.

"Forget it, no more!"

Rebecca stretched her waist and said with a smile.

"What happened to Faraday is none of my business, Mr. Moon will take care of it anyway."

"I only know that after staying here for so long, I can finally go out now!"

Following Rebecca's cheers, the expressions of the others gradually eased.

"That's right." Qi Wei also smiled. "I need a good drink."

"Even if you can leave the safe house, don't be too indulgent."

Looking at the excited faces of the team members, Mann seriously reminded.

"Don't forget, in the eyes of the employer behind the scenes, we are now dead."

"Do not worry."

"Mr. 'moon' has a false identity ready, and we're sure we won't reveal it."

"That's right, everyone is not stupid..."

Hearing their echoes, Mann nodded slowly.

"That's good."

After saying this, he turned around slowly and returned to his room.

"Hey?" Rebecca was taken aback for a moment: "Aren't you going..."

"He hasn't been in a good state lately."

Before Mann could answer, Dorio took over the conversation.

The corners of her mouth turned up, showing a smile as peaceful as possible, and then continued.

"I'll stay with him for two days, too. Go ahead and have fun."

Rebecca blinked, and suddenly remembered the occasional growls and gasps from Mann's room in the past few days.

"Then... let's go first."

On the other side, Lucy has already walked quickly to the exit.

Just as she unlocked the combination lock and was about to open the security door, Qi Wei also followed.

"Where are you going?" Qi Wei said with a smile, "How about going to the bar together?"

"No."

Lucy shook her head slightly.

"I have a date."

"what?"

Hearing what she said, Qi Wei raised her eyebrows and said in a joking tone.

"Who did you date, your little boyfriend?"

"..."

Lucy's movement of pushing the door froze slightly.

She was silent for two seconds, then lowered her voice and replied.

"Ah."

Now it was Qi Wei's turn to be silent.

She didn't know what to say for a while, she stood there in a daze, watching Lucy push open the safety door, and then gradually disappeared from her sight.

Apartment building in Meiquan District, room 401.

David sat in front of the computer, frowning, and kept typing on the keyboard.

After returning home from Chaomeng Studio, he immediately got into the house and has been in this state for several hours.

Although he has adjusted his mentality, the 'personality recasting' still made David a little depressed.

To put it simply, he understands the truth, but he is still quite annoyed.

So, he decided to immerse himself in work to dilute this emotion.

Amidst the clattering sound of the keyboard, lines of code appeared on the screen, constantly refreshing and overwriting.

This was a program he had conceived a long time ago but never completed.

dong dong dong.

Suddenly, there was a light knock on the door outside.

"David—may I come in?"

It's Gloria.

David was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head in a daze.

"Can……"

Following his answer, the door slowly opened, revealing Gloria's smiling face.

"Did something happen"

Gloria slowly came to David's side, she hesitated for a moment, then sat on the bed next to him.

Looking at her son at such a level, Gloria asked softly.

"It feels like you...are not in a good mood today."

Is that so?

David smiled wryly in his heart, and understood her reason for coming.

The emotions I showed were a little obvious, and I couldn't hide them from my mother's eyes.

"It's okay, maybe you've been too busy recently?"

He shook his head slightly, responding in as relaxed a tone as possible.

"There are a lot of things going on at the school, you see."

David pointed to the computer screen, trying to make his reasons seem more real.

"Let me get this thing out in a week, it's not that simple."

"The tasks assigned by the school must be completed well, and you should not be proud of yourself because you have made some achievements."

Gloria nodded, agreeing to David's statement.

But then, she continued to ask.

"Is that really all there is?"

"Uh……"

Faced with such questioning, David was at a loss for words for a while.

You can't tell Gloria directly that your son just turned someone into a 'doll', and now he has a bad conscience, right?

"That's it, nothing else..."

"David."

Gloria spoke suddenly and interrupted David.

She frowned slightly, as if she was organizing her words, and it took a few seconds before she continued to ask.

"Did you quarrel with Lucy?"

"...?"

To be honest, this sentence can't be straightened out by David.

From Gloria's point of view, it seems easy to understand.

Adolescent boys are always depressed because of some romantic things.

But the problem is, that's not the case.

"No."

David could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and then denied it again.

"David, Mom knows you might be annoying right now."

However, in Gloria's eyes, David's reaction turned into a kind of acquiescence, or a stubbornness that he didn't want to admit.

She sighed, then reassured.

"But mother is also someone who has come here. When mother and your father met, she was not a few years older than you are now. She can still give you some advice."

"Can you talk to mom?"

Have you moved out your father who abandoned his wife and son and never met?
