Chapter 545: Promotion to Captain, Mission Reward

The next morning.

Lin Mo stood at the dock, seeing off Frank and Evelyn as they were about to leave by boat.

Frank held Lin Mo's hand tightly, his gratitude overflowing with words.

"Lin, thank you. Although I haven't been in China for a long time, I like it here very much. I believe we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

The ship's whistle suddenly sounded.

Evelyn and Frank waved goodbye.

Lin Mo watched their figures gradually disappear on the deck of the ship.

Until the huge ship slowly sailed away from the port and went farther and farther away.

Xu Baili said softly, "Team Leader Lin, this mission has been successfully completed. We should go back to the bureau and report to the director."

"Ah."

Lin Mo nodded slightly.

Instead of returning to the Six Nations Hotel, the two men went straight to the Secret Service.

On the way, Xu Baili gently adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes behind the lenses flickered.

After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Team Leader Lin, you have been studying martial arts for quite a few years, right?"

Lin Mo did not stop, but just turned his head slightly, with a hint of confusion in his tone: "A few years is not worth mentioning."

"Then have you heard of the unique skill of the Great Stone Smasher of Foguang Temple?" Xu Baili asked.

Lin Mo shook his head: "I have never heard of it."

"This skill is somewhat similar to your stone-opening skill."

There was a hint of profound meaning in Xu Baili's words.

Lin Mo frowned, stopped, and looked at him with a sharp gaze: "What do you want to say?"

Xu Baili took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and spoke slowly.

"Team Leader Lin, as far as I know, you took over your father's position in 1913 and became an ordinary prison guard in the East Ward of Dragon Prison.

But not long after, you came into conflict with the illegitimate son of a hall master of the Black Dragon Gang.

After the guy was released from prison, he was attacked that night and died from a severe blow to the chest.

There was also the leader of the Seven Bandits of Mangshan. After he was arrested and imprisoned, his accomplices were planning a prison break.

Later, they died mysteriously one after another on the outskirts of the city, with scars all over their bodies and collapsed sternums, apparently killed by some incredibly powerful palm technique.

The most bizarre thing is that although one of them was one of the Seven Bandits of Mangshan, he had been lurking in the prison for many years as a prison guard in the North District.

And you must know that person, because you were transferred to the North District at that time..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Mo's eyes were as sharp as a knife and cold.

"Why, are you interrogating me?"

Feeling the dangerous aura suddenly rising from Lin Mo.

Xu Baili's heart trembled, and he quickly waved his hand to clarify: "Team Leader Lin, you misunderstood.

I don't mean to test your background, but those cases were so bizarre back then that I've never been able to let them go.

I mentioned this today only to verify the doubts in my heart, and there is no other purpose."

Lin Mo's expression softened slightly, but was still cold.

"Old Xu, knowing too much about some things may not be a good thing..."

Xu Baili's heart skipped a beat.

Lin Mo's attitude says it all.

Even without solid evidence, he vaguely guessed the truth.

In fact, he didn't want to expose Lin Mo's past.

Instead, he was full of curiosity about Lin Mo's past.

From a small prison guard, he grew into the unfathomable martial arts master he is today.

Even Frank, an aristocrat from England who was arrogant and looked down on others, wanted to make friends with him.

This is simply an inspirational legend of a little person!

This made Xu Baili sincerely amazed and admired.

She is worthy of being praised as a martial arts genius by a gifted girl like Shen Ke!

Of course Lin Mo didn't know what Xu Baili was thinking.

In fact, he didn't care at all what Xu Baili guessed.

Because he knew that the other party was a smart person and should know how to keep his mouth shut.

The two of them continued on their way, each with their own thoughts, but tacitly agreed not to mention the matter again.

When we returned to the Secret Service Bureau, Director Xu Guochang had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as he saw the two of them return safely, he smiled instantly.

"You two did a great job on this mission!"

Xu Guochang patted the two men on the shoulders and praised them highly.

Especially when he mentioned Lin Mo, his tone was full of praise.

"Lin Mo, you have made a great contribution this time, ensuring the smooth implementation of that huge loan. The superiors have decided to promote you to the rank of captain!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire Secret Service was in an uproar.

You know, such a promotion speed is unprecedented in the Secret Service.

Many people were so envious that their eyes almost popped out.

Xu Baili was also envious when he heard this.

However, Lin Mo, the person involved, seemed very calm and just said lightly: "Thank you for your cultivation, Director."

Xu Guochang saw that he was not surprised by fame or disgrace.

I felt so sad and hated myself for not having a daughter.

He took out two heavy money bags from the drawer and said, "This is the mission bonus sent by the higher-ups. Take it."

"Thank you, Chief!" Xu Baili reached out to take it.

Lin Mo pushed it back and said seriously: "Director, the promotion in military rank is a pleasant surprise for me. I can't take this money. The successful completion of the mission is all thanks to your good command. You should take this money."

These words made Xu Baili's body stiffen in embarrassment.

Xu Guochang laughed and pointed at Lin Mo and said, "Don't play tricks on me, kid. I've already taken my share. Just take it!"

"Director, what I said is from the bottom of my heart!" Lin Mo said with a smile.

"Take the money and get out!" Xu Guochang cursed with a smile.

"okay!"

Lin Mo picked up the purse, pulled Xu Baili out, and did not forget to close the door.

"This little guy is quite thoughtful."

Xu Guochang shook his head helplessly.

Although he is a soldier, his years in officialdom are not in vain.

He could see that Lin Mo didn't really not want the money, but was worried that if he didn't accept it, it would cause resentment.

"Who does this kid think I am?"

Xu Guochang muttered in a low voice.

Back to Special Service Group 6.

When Ma Chao learned the news of Lin Mo's promotion, he was very excited and shouted that he wanted to celebrate tonight.

But Lin Mo told Ma Chao that they would discuss this matter tomorrow.

Cui You was hospitalized due to injury, so he had to go to the hospital to visit him first.

When Ma Chao heard this, his expression froze and he nodded.

After finishing their shift, the two went straight to the hospital.

In the ward, Cui You was lying on the bed recovering from his injuries.

In the ward, Cui You was lying on the bed with a pale face and bandages wrapped around his body.

Lin Mo pushed the door open and entered.

Cui You seemed very happy to see the two of them coming.

After the three of them exchanged greetings, Lin Mo took out a few secret books, walked straight to Cui You and handed them over.

"Brother Cui, this is the secret manual I copied by hand. It contains all my master's understanding of martial arts and his experience in practicing martial arts. You can take it and study it carefully."

He used the name of Lao Gui so that Cui You could accept his kindness calmly.

Cui You was stunned for a moment, then took the secret book and flipped through the pages one by one with a complicated look in his eyes.

He looked at the boy in front of him who used to follow him around and call him "Brother Cui" all the time.

Now that he has grown into a calm and introverted martial arts master, he feels mixed emotions.

"Time flies so fast!"

Cui You couldn't help but sigh.

There was no jealousy in his eyes, only emotion.

At the same time, I am sincerely happy for Lin Mo's growth.
