21 The Masked Man is a Woman

Dilireba was stunned.

She turned to look at the masked man and said, "Didn't you have other people who wanted to audition for the role? Isn't it unfair for them if they didn't try out as well?"

The masked man smiled as if expecting her response and said, "Hmm… well, you are right Ms.Dilmurat that this might not be fair however, we still would like to offer you the role and if we decided that no one else is suitable we would like you to join the team."

Dilireba agreed and walked away. The reason why she wasn't really staying was because of Deng Lun, so now is the perfect time to escape. And the contestant fairness was brought up just so Deng Lun had to say in the room long enough for her to escape.

However, it was a pity since Dilireba knew that her chance of getting the role had been lowered due to the possibility that there will be someone who will act better than her after all 'the world is vast and there are higher mountains' than her.

Dilireba sighed.

On WeChat

Xiao Lan: Xiao Di, how does the audition go?

Xiao Di: \u003cinsert-sigh-emoji\u003e

Mantou: \u003cinsert-worry-emoji x3\u003e

Yingque: Don't worry if you don't get it at least you tried your best.

Xiao Di: \u003cinsert-grateful-emoji x 4\u003e \u003cinsert-sigh-emoji\u003e

On the other side, Lu Han senses something is wrong with Dilireba. Trusting his gut instinct, Lu Han decided to give a call to DIlireba later.

Lu Han stood up and walked to the window.

"Ah Bao, cancel the meeting that is scheduled for today and push it back to tomorrow"

"But, Boss Lu, you have 2 meetings scheduled for tomorrow. Tomorrow the guest wouldn't be able to come since they are taken a flight back home."

Lu Han sighed as he started to have a headache, he massages his temple and said, "Push the meeting back to 30 minutes later."

"Copy that Boss."

Wang Anbao took his files and walked out of the room closing the door gently.

Lu Han dialed Dilireba.

Dilireba who was on her way home was checking out videos that people posted on WeChat. She received a call from Lu Han and answered it.

"Hello? Bro, don't you know that calling costs a lot of money?"

Lu Han who was initially worried about her suddenly realized that he shouldn't have done that.

"I've been worried about nothing."

"Aw, second brother I don't realize that you still have a heart."

"..." Lu Han sighed and calm his frustrations down.

Dilireba hearing the silence raised her eyebrows as she realized that this is serious. She switched off her play mode.

Lu Han also didn't bother to beat around the bush anymore.

"What happened at the audition?"

"You know I wanted the role of the second female lead, right"

"Of course, you have been talking about it all week long before the audition."

Dilireba had no intention to hide anything and told him exactly what had happened in detail.

"What?! That girl actually did that? What an idiot, doesn't know who she is messing with."

"That bastard was making trouble for you? Isn't he supposed to help you?"

"Somehow that masked guy seemed familiar."

Dilreba rolled her eyes but on the last comment, she agreed with him.

"Second Brother, who do you think the masked person is? I also think that the masked guy is someone we know.."

"Well, if you say that he is familiar too then he should be someone we know before. Can you describe the mask?"

"It was a black mask that covers the face except for the mouth and the eyes. The carving on the mask was really simple, but it was decorated with dark blue lining and a tiny diamond on the right side."

"Hmm, is the area near the eyes has tiny black pearls on it?"

"I cannot see very well and even if there is I wouldn't be able to know since it would just blend in with the surroundings but I can catch a few glimmers here and there."

"Yup, we definitely know this person, but my memory just can't recall who the person is. I can vaguely remember that I brought this mask when I was around 7 and gift it to someone. The mask was known as 'light in the night' and was one of the masterpieces of Mr.Lance."

"Mr.Lance? Do you mean the one that made one of the thirteen wonders of the world 'the gliding crystal'?! That Mr.Lance?!"

"Well, I see you have kept up with the news."

"Well, I just heard it from Lan jie during the spring festival."

"...nevermind."

"But the thing is... if you brought the mask when you are 7, do you know the value of the mask?"

"..."

"Bro?"

"Yes?"

"Can I hit you?"

"..."

"It's fine if you remember the person, but why the hell would you give it to others as if it weren't anything?!"

"Xiao Di?"

"What?"

"I think I might know the identity of the masked man."

"...you do?! But didn't you say that you don't remember him?"

"...I think it is better for you to find out yourself."

"...cut the crap and tell me who is it."

"You are not going to believe me even if I say who it is."

"..."

"Bye, need to go to the meeting. And that masked man, I think that you should just cling onto 'his' thigh. And I'm pretty sure that the man was a woman."

"!??? Wait-"

Before Dilireba can say another word, the person had already disconnected. 'I'm pretty sure that the man was a woman.' A woman...woman.

Damn that bastard, he could just tell her. Dilireba called back. Lu Han said, "I'm in a meeting right now, tell you when I got home."

Just as Lu han was about to hang up, Dilireba said, "If you dare hang up, there will be no dinner for you tonight."

Hearing that Lu Han frozed and cursed.

"Fine, fine, the identity of the masked man is-"

Before Lu Han can finish Dilireba's phone runs out of battery. [Great. Just great.]

----------------------------

Author 2: (sigh) poor Lu Han he probably doesn't know what is going to happen since Dilireba just hung up. She may just target him later to vent her anger out.

Author 3: Should we pray for him?

Author 4: let's do it.

All Authors: We gathered here to pray for Lu Han for his safety, we thank him for being a good friend. Just hope Dilireba wouldn't be too harsh especially since all of us are foodies.

Author 2: Why do I feel like this is more like a preparation for a funeral.

Author 3: Whatever just go with the flow and he is a dead meat anyway.

Author 4: My opinion differs from you guys, I think he will be able to survive this, after all, he is a punching bag for Dilireba.

Author 2: But our girl is trained in martial arts.

Author 3: Well, we just have to wait and see then.
