"Hehe, Mr. Lin, don't be so harsh. This parchment was originally a spoil of war that needed to be handed over during this mission, and no matter how it changes hands, it will eventually end up in the hands of our intelligence bureau."

"Now, it's just a matter of eliminating some unnecessary and cumbersome procedures in advance."

Chen Yanan reached out to explain.

The assistant beside him chimed in, "That's right, Mr. Lin. The information on this parchment is of great significance to our intelligence agency. And as you know, time is limited, and we don't want to waste time on other useless things, so please cooperate with our work."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo crossed his arms, flicked his index finger on his arm, and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then I suppose everyone in the intelligence bureau has quite a few clues about how to crack information, right?"

"this……"

The assistant was speechless, unsure of what to say.

Clues... Are you kidding me? Only now do I realize how long this parchment has existed? Where did these clues come from?

Chen Yanan was slightly taken aback, then put one hand on her hip and looked Lin Mo over again.

After a moment of silence, the assistant took a deep breath and looked up at Lin Mo, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, we have only just learned of the existence of this parchment scroll, and at present we can only learn about its contents from Cheng Ling's testimony."

The assistant paused mid-sentence, then said in a slightly cold tone, "However, we believe that with the intelligence agency's formidable strength and connections, we are confident that we can decipher the scroll before it self-destructs!"

Chen Yanan glanced at her assistant beside her and sighed helplessly.

His temperament still needs further refinement.

Assistant Li Ling clearly still didn't realize he had said the wrong thing, and he stared intently at Lin Mo.

Although Lin Mo's handling of Cheng Ling had impressed him, his reaction to such an important matter as the parchment scroll was extremely disappointing.

I have said so much and listed so many reasons, but the other party has not shown any intention of handing over the parchment or offering any explanation.

I even always want to turn around and question them, what kind of nonsense is this?

Seeing the other party's overbearing attitude, Lin Mo smiled helplessly, "Hehe, do you think it's possible that your confidence, besides the formidable strength of your intelligence agency, largely stems from your ignorance?"

"This...that's not it! I..."

Li Ling was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously wanted to refute.

But before he could finish speaking, Lin Mo abruptly put away the parchment scroll, turned around, and interrupted, "How much do you... know about that parchment scroll from earlier?"

Li Ling swallowed hard, unable to utter another word. He finally realized his mistake and nodded helplessly.

"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively."

What the other person said was true; I really didn't know much about that stuff. In that situation, the reason I said those things was mostly due to my arrogance...

Like his brother Li Yuan, he was also a genius, but the two pursued different careers.

Li Yuan had a noble ideal since childhood: to pass the exam for the Earth Balance Division and serve the people. But he was different; he wanted to make a name for himself in the intelligence agency so that his family would look at him with new respect.

And he did indeed succeed. After passing the intelligence agency exam, he worked hard, competed fiercely, and finally seized the opportunity. He was noticed by Director Chen and rose to the position of assistant director.

This made him very proud, but it also made him feel increasingly attached to the intelligence agency and more and more confident.

"Confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence can easily lead to failure."

Director Chen had warned him about this more than once, but he never seemed to take it to heart.

This was a rare headache for Chen Yanan. Now, she finally had a chance to teach the little guy a lesson, and on second thought, it wasn't such a bad thing.

For this, I must thank Lin Mo.

Chen Yanan thought to herself, however, the most important thing right now is to find a way to get Lin Mo to hand over that crucial parchment scroll.

"In that case, Mr. Lin, why don't you share your thoughts?"

Chen Yanan asked with a smile on her lips.

Having been in the workplace for so many years, although she couldn't fully fathom Lin Mo's thoughts, she could certainly tell that he probably had his own ideas.

After all, we currently have absolutely no clue about the parchment scrolls, and even if we had them, we might not be able to fully extract the information from them.

Judging from the other party's words, Lin Mo probably has some understanding of the information on the parchment scroll. At this time, it might be better to listen to the other party's thoughts, which may be more helpful to him.

Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled. This was exactly what he was waiting for. Sister Chen was so easy to talk to.

"Of course, I have a way to extract the important information from above within a few days."

Lin Mo said.

Immediately, not only the assistant but also Chen Yanan were stunned. She glanced at the assistant with some surprise and couldn't help but ask, "Really? Mr. Lin, are you joking with us?"

Lin Mo could understand the other party's reaction.

After all, anyone could tell from Cheng Ling's words how mysterious and profound the secret method on the parchment was. As a low-level diviner with few years of experience, unless the array he set up had a computing power comparable to the Great Evolution Qiong Guan Array, what way could he possibly deal with this thing?

The former is impossible, and as for other methods, they themselves have no clue, so how could they trust a low-level diviner?
