Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 545: 212, a true VIP, arrives at Rakshasa City!_2

After careful thought, Lin Mo said with a smile, “Practicing more will help. Perhaps next time there’s such an opportunity, I’ll let you have a go.”

“After all, you’re now the chief. It’s about time you honed that skill too!”

Bai Feng shook his head, “I’m not interested. Right now, all I want is to see Du Nanxue. Do you have her phone number? Can I call her?”

Although the higher-ups were somewhat reluctant to let Bai Feng inquire about too many personal matters at this time, they also knew of Bai Feng and Du Nanxue’s past, so they weren’t too strict with him.

Moreover, it’s a situation no one could resist,

If any of them had a beloved girlfriend who they thought was dead due to a mission, only to find years later there was evidence she was still alive, anyone would be extremely excited and nervous.

That Bai Feng was still able to interact calmly with Lin Mo and even helped resolve the crowd trouble at the door,

Was no small feat.

“You really are a romantic,” Lin Mo said helplessly, “I do have the number, but I can’t tell you.”

Huh?

Can’t tell?

What does that mean?

The two men had already entered the restaurant, which on a normal day would be bustling with people, but now it was just Bai Feng and Lin Mo.

Clearly, this has been arranged deliberately.

At the serving window, there were many staff members standing, but they were not the usual aunts and uncles from the canteen; instead, there was a group of young men with buzz cuts, beaming faces, and upright statures.

Obviously, they had been specially arranged to come on duty because of Lin Mo’s visit.

After all, Lin Mo was now a very special criminal suspect, and although he had some freedom, there definitely wouldn’t be a shortage of security personnel surrounding him.

The purpose of these individuals was to keep an eye on Lin Mo to prevent any unforeseen incidents.

This included the possibility of Lin Mo escaping as well as the potential for someone to harm him.

The might of a tiger persists even after its death.

Although Chen Shanhe had left Grand Xia for over two years, and on the surface, Chen Family’s business seemed to have been completely divvied up by other large families,

Chen Shanhe’s most trusted subordinates had also been blown up all at once.

But who could guarantee that there weren’t any loyal followers of Chen Shanhe still out there, intent on avenging him?

If Qin Hui could still have three friends, then what about Chen Shanhe, who excelled at winning people’s hearts?

Therefore, as long as there was such a possibility, the officials had to be fully prepared to prevent any unnecessary troubles.

Carrying their trays, the two found a place to sit down, and Bai Feng, impatient, asked, “Why can’t you tell me? Could it be that Du Nanxue is in some kind of danger?”

Lin Mo shook his head, “You’re worrying too much. She’s very safe. Besides, she specifically told me not to give you her contact. She said she needs to think through some issues and deal with certain matters—it should only take a few days.”

“Once she’s done with everything, she’ll come to find you!”

Handling matters?

Bai Feng suddenly became anxious, fearing that Du Nanxue might impulsively do something rash.

She had been an undercover officer, and if she behaved well simply to survive while being held captive, it was completely understandable, explainable to the organization.

Even if there were to be accountability, at worst she might no longer be an officer, but surely there would be no prison time.

But if she now acted freely and did something irreversible, then things could get messy.

Seeing what was on Bai Feng’s mind, Lin Mo smiled and said, “Don’t worry, the scenario you’re thinking of definitely won’t happen. She’s just going to handle some personal business and should get in touch with you soon.”

“Moreover, all her enemies have been killed by Chen Shanhe himself. Who is there left for her to seek revenge against?”

Bai Feng realized this did make sense and felt slightly relieved, but his heart was still in turmoil, eager to see Du Nanxue immediately.

Affected by a multitude of emotions, he felt downcast, bowing his head as he ate, not knowing what to say.

Seeing his state, Lin Mo just shook his head helplessly, not offering any more words of comfort, and began to eat the food he had fetched.

In such a situation, persuasion wasn’t easy, and it wouldn’t be of much use anyway.

By the time Du Nanxue made contact with him, Bai Feng’s mood naturally soared.

…

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Capital.

Military Airport.

A small military transport plane shot down the runway at extremely high speeds. Upon reaching takeoff velocity, it leapt into the air with a very standard posture, hurtling straight for the Rakshasa Military Airport thousands of kilometers away.

Inside the cabin.

Unlike the ostentatious private jets of the nouveau riche, decked out in gold and studded with diamonds, the interior of this transport was very modest.

A few simple, solid wood sofas, an office desk, a small conference table, and the remaining decorations were just a touch of green plants, looking much like the government official’s offices from 80’s TV dramas.

At this moment, Liu Limin sat at the head of the conference table, listening to a subordinate’s report while watching the entire interaction between Lin Mo and Bai Feng on the screen.

He was the youngest official from the meeting in the suburban villa conference room in the Imperial Capital and had also volunteered to lead the team negotiating with Lin Mo.

In terms of rank, he certainly met the requirements of the ‘important person’ mentioned by Lin Mo.

The information reported by his subordinate was similar to what Liu Limin already knew, so he didn’t listen too carefully. Instead, he was continuously reflecting on the details of the meeting in the Imperial Capital.

This appointment was a direct order from above, and since he had volunteered, it was crucial that he get this right and ensure Lin Mo’s full cooperation.

As he drifted into deep thought, the last subordinate who had finished explaining details about Lin Mo couldn’t help but say, “Commander, do you think there’s any truth to what that person said?”

“I feel the more I go through the information, the more it seems like maybe Lin Mo’s family already met with misfortune, and he simply had nowhere else to go. Maybe he had no choice but to return to the country and seek official help.”

“All his previous actions, they were all just a bluff!”

“After all, if we look at the data, not only is this possibility real, but it also seems very likely.”

Bluster?

False bravado?

Were all of Lin Mo’s actions merely to ensure his survival?

Honestly,

Liu Limin’s thoughts had been quite similar to those of this subordinate before.

After all, both Lin Mo’s demeanor and the information he had disclosed thus far were too confident.

If it hadn’t been for that person’s firm conviction, Liu Limin might have already shared his thoughts in the conference room.

After some thought, he said, “Let’s not underestimate the situation; anything is possible.”

“Besides, haven’t you noticed something very odd about Lin Mo? He evidently couldn’t have met the interrogators before, nor could he have had any connection with them. Moreover, when Song Jingnan arrived at the Rakshasa City police station, he didn’t know he would be interrogating Lin Mo.”

“Yet under such circumstances, Lin Mo was still able to produce information about his crime. What do you think that indicates?”

This question indeed posed the biggest enigma surrounding Lin Mo, with many pondering its answer, which everyone believed could unlock most of the mysteries associated with him.

However,

a problem remains a problem, and answers are not so easily found, because there’s always one reason that perpetually exists: it’s all just coincidence.

That explanation could hold water.

If it happens that Lin Mo knew about Song Jingnan’s criminal evidence while investigating something else, which at first was of no use, but coincidentally, Song Jingnan was the chief interrogator, thus leading to the scene they had witnessed.

And Lin Mo evidently didn’t care that they knew this.

Because Lin Mo is a smart man; he surely knows that besides the interrogation room, countless eyes are watching him.

Every move he makes will be magnified exponentially until they find enough evidence to break his silence.

If that’s the situation, then the likelihood of Lin Mo having been putting on an act becomes very, very strong.

Another person couldn’t help but interject, “Both possibilities you’ve mentioned exist, but there’s actually a third possibility.”

“Though even I think this possibility is simply too preposterous!!!”
