Seeing Xiao Lingzi's discomfitured expression, these two sentences naturally had the effect Lin Mo had anticipated.

After a moment of silence, Li Ling, still unwilling to accept it, couldn't help but question, "You neither understand the intelligence bureau nor me, so how come you don't know that I can't help your plan in any way?"

He grew angrier as he spoke, and as he recalled Lin Mo's actions that day, his dissatisfaction intensified.

Li Ling's tone gradually turned colder.

"Or is it that Lin Buzhe has no plan at all? And everything he boasts about is just to get Director Chen's attention?"

Clearly, he was more concerned about Lin Mo's second sentence.

This also shows that he cares more about others recognizing his value than about others' trust.

Lin Mo pondered in his heart and gained a general understanding of Li Ling's inner thoughts.

They also made some modifications to the training plan for this guy and improved some details.

Director Chen, rest assured, after this repair, I guarantee you will have a brand new Li Ling. I hope your reward will satisfy me.

Lin Mo turned and walked away, feigning indifference, saying as he went:

"The reason I'm dismissing you without really knowing you is because the way you acted was just too embarrassing. You acted like an assistant to the bureau chief and never truly respected me, a lowly fortune teller. Haha."

"Moreover, my understanding of the entire plan and process is beyond your questioning. You are indeed of no value to me, but if you want to prove yourself, then obediently follow behind me. Maybe there will be a use for you in the future."

Lin Mo didn't take his doubts to heart at all; in fact, it was... expected.

Lin Mo felt somewhat displeased by the other party's arrogance.

Upon hearing this, Li Ling froze on the spot, Lin Mo's words echoing in his mind, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
