With a loud smack, the two jade pendants slammed into Lin Mo's face, which was thicker than a city wall, just like Red Wolf's frying pan.
He covered half his face, grimacing, and said, "Damn it, [Immortal Boat profanity], Qingque, do you even know what these two jade tokens you threw represent?"
After beating up Lin Mo, Qing Que felt great. With her hands on her hips, she said nonchalantly, "I don't care, I just want to hit you."
"It's collapsed."
Qingque frowned and asked, "What collapsed?"
"You've ruined the mysterious persona I've worked so hard to build. Don't even think about leaving without two million credits."
Lin Mo snorted coldly and said aggressively.
"What? Have you no shame?! I have no money, but you can take my life!"
Qingque immediately became anxious and scolded him angrily.
Watching the two start flirting, the two cloud knight soldiers behind them were speechless.
After a heated exchange, the two finally calmed down.
Meanwhile, the commotion they made attracted the attention of the night patrol team.
Lin Mo handed the unconscious woman over to the night patrol team, who then took her to the prison.
Then, the group returned to the Works Department.
After causing a ruckus at the entrance of the Bureau of Works, Li Yuan hurriedly reported the situation of the mission to Lin Mo upon his return and expressed his deep apologies for his dereliction of duty.
To Li Yuan's surprise, the woman who had tried to escape was caught by Lin Mo and his group, which was truly astonishing.
Could it be that my failure tonight was also part of Lin Mo's divination array's calculations?
It's absolutely stunning.
As an outstanding talent in the Bureau of Works, Li Yuan rarely felt such deep respect for anyone.
The opponent's strength is truly unfathomable.
Even he, who was not usually good at polite talk, complimented Lin Mo a few times.
Lin Mo simply smiled at this and didn't dwell on the topic. He thought for a moment and said, "By the way, do you know where that traitor we captured is being held?"
Li Yuan paused for a moment before explaining, "That traitor's name is Ye Mu. He is currently being held in the storage room of the Works and Equipment Bureau, guarded by the Cloud Cavalry led by Su Chang."
"Can you take me to see him now?" Lin Mo asked.
He was quite interested in this young man who betrayed the Immortal Ship and sought refuge with the people of Abundance. What kind of hardship could have led him to degenerate into a lackey of a foreign land?
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "It is possible, but..."
"Speak freely," Lin Mo said with a smile.
Li Yuan sighed and said, "Alas, to be honest, that boy named Mu Ye's body is now almost mutated, no different from the demonic soldiers on the battlefield. He has lost his mind and has completely fallen. We are currently notifying the Pill Cauldron Division that the Dragon Girl Bai Lu Nu... is on her way."
"If Lin the fortune teller wants to get information, he may be disappointed if he goes now."
"Huh? Isn't he a disciple of the Medicine King's secret lineage? How could this be?" Qingque exclaimed in surprise.
Li Yuan explained helplessly, "That boy named Ye Mu was actually coerced into creating chaos for the Medicine King's secret teachings."
"Threatening?" Lin Mo frowned upon hearing this.
"Yes, according to our investigation, the reason why Makino worked for the Medicine King's Secret Manual was because they kidnapped his mother and used her life to force Makino to cooperate with their mission."
"This is so shameless!" Qingque couldn't help but complain.
The cruelty of the Medicine King's secret teachings was indeed beyond her expectations.
I should have hit harder when I punched that big-breasted woman! Humph!
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo nodded and said, "I understand."
After saying that, he led Qingque to the storage room, intending to visit the staff member named Ye Mu.
Just as they were about to reach the Works Department, a woman rushed out from the crowd and came to stand in front of them.
With such a big incident tonight, the apprentices of the Construction Bureau are definitely not going to get a good night's sleep. Furthermore, to prevent any more traitors from appearing within the Construction Bureau, Lin Mo had previously instructed the Cloud Cavalry Captain.
He was instructed to take control of all the company's employees at the start of the operation to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.
After all, no one knows if a second wild herd will appear.
"Hey! What are you doing! Come back here!"
When the two Yun cavalrymen saw Xiao Lan break through the crowd, they rushed to her side, wanting to send her back. Military orders were absolute and could not be disobeyed.
Seeing the two soldiers rushing over, Xiao Lan grabbed Lin Mo's arm with both hands and hurriedly said, "Sir, have you seen a short boy wearing apprentice clothes with a face like this and a somewhat gloomy expression?"
As Xiao Lan spoke, she gestured anxiously with her hands. Such a big thing had happened, and all the trainees from the Engineering and Construction Department had been gathered here, but they hadn't seen that guy, which made her very uneasy.
She had asked many passersby, but they all said they hadn't seen him, yet she still refused to give up.
That guy is such a coward, he's probably hiding somewhere too scared to come out. But how can we feel at ease if we can't find him?
After listening to the woman's description, Lin Mo shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't met your friend. If he's missing, I can help you contact the Cloud Cavalry Captain and ask him to come and help you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan's heart sank to the bottom. She still hadn't seen him. Where had he gone?
Just then, two Cloud Knight soldiers arrived. They grabbed Xiao Lan and said, "I'm sorry, Miss, please come back with us. We've already sent people to look for your friend. Please don't worry, and please don't cause us any trouble, okay?"
After hearing what the Yun cavalry said, Xiao Lan nodded blankly and walked listlessly toward the crowd.
One of the Cloud Knight soldiers nodded to Lin Mo apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Diviner, we've troubled you."
Lin Mo shook his head and said, "It's alright. I hope you can help that young lady find her friend as soon as possible."
The soldier nodded and said, "We will." Then he returned to his unit.
"Let's go," Lin Mo said, glancing at Qing Que, who was still in a daze behind him.
Seeing that Qingque was still standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but frown and ask, "What's wrong?"
Qingque raised her head, swallowed hard, and her pupils showed an unusual hesitation.
...
Distraught, Xiao Lan returned to the crowd, squatted on the ground, hugged herself, and felt her unease grow stronger.
Where did he go? It's so dangerous outside, I hope something happened to him.
Just then, a woman named Qingque, dressed in a blue diviner's robe, squeezed through the crowd. She patted Xiao Lan's frail shoulder and asked in a somewhat uneasy voice, "Hey, the person you're looking for, is his name Ye Mu?"
Upon hearing the name Ye Mu, Xiao Lan, who was lying on the ground, immediately raised her head. She touched the tear stains at the corners of her eyes and asked excitedly, "You, have you seen him?"
