"Lin Jingzhu? What does she want with ?"
Chen Mo was a bit puzzled and said, "Please, co in."
"Yes."
The Colonel withdrew.
Soon afterward, two figures walked into the Governnt office, precisely Lin Jingzhu and Shangguan Yunfei.
"Mr. Chen, long ti no see."
"Lin Catcher, Brother Shangguan, what wind has blown you here?"
Chen Mo rose to exchange pleasantries.
Shangguan Yunfei cupped his hands together and said, "I heard you’ve cracked another major case, and I wanted to co over and learn from your experience."
Lin Jingzhu’s bright eyes sized up Chen Mo, her gaze full of curiosity.
The case in Linglan County had already spread.
The tunnels beneath the town were crisscrossed, almost hollowed out by the Demon Clan!
Every district had an entrance and exit, covered with Arrays, showing they had grand designs!
But Chen Mo, in just one night, without any clues, thwarted the Demon Clan’s conspiracy, saved more than seventy lives, and even killed a hundred-zhang-long transford Demon Python!
Astonishing as a Heavenly Person!
"Mr. Chen, I am very curious, what exactly do you rely on when solving cases?" Lin Jingzhu asked, baffled.
The last Zhou Family case was also the sa; this man seed to be able to predict the future!
If they could master this skill, what case couldn’t they solve?
Chen Mo, with his hands behind his back, said indifferently, "Intuition."
"..."
Lin Jingzhu was montarily speechless.
At that mont, Shangguan Yunfei said with a laugh, "Let’s not just stand around talking. It’s been a long ti since we last got together, let’s go out for a drink after you’re off duty."
In vino veritas.
First get Chen Mo in a good mood, then slowly coax the secrets out of him.
Even if they only learned a little, it would be imnsely useful!
Chen Mo sighed and said helplessly, "I’d love to drink till we drop with you both, but mundane duties bind , and I really can’t get away."
Lin Jingzhu puzzled, "Are the affairs of the Sky Scale Guard that busy?"
"Here, see for yourself."
Chen Mo pointed to a stack of docunts on the desk, saying, "These are cases thrown our way by the Six Gates, so have been backlogged for months, still unresolved, and the higher-ups want accountability. Do you think I have ti to go out drinking?"
Lin Jingzhu and Shangguan Yunfei stepped forward to take a look.
Indeed, they were cases from the Six Gates...
Both felt a bit embarrassed; Chen Mo repeatedly solving major cases while also helping to alleviate the Six Gates’ pressure made them seem incompetent...
"These trivial matters, and still troubling Mr. Chen?"
Lin Jingzhu picked up the docunts, pulled out half, and handed them to Shangguan Yunfei, "Leave it to us two, we’ll handle it perfectly!"
"This..."
Chen Mo furrowed his brows and feigned hesitation, "This doesn’t seem quite proper, does it? After all, these cases are under the na of the Ding Fire Departnt..."
Lin Jingzhu said generously, "Don’t worry, if the cases are solved, the credit still goes to the Ding Fire Departnt. But if we need to consult Mr. Chen, we hope that you won’t be stingy with your advice."
Her thought was simple, just like asking for guidance from a master!
Chen Mo nodded and said, "In that case, I’ll trouble you both. When there’s ti, we’ll drink and chat rrily!"
(⊙ˍ⊙)?
Li Yuan was dumbfounded watching from the side.
She had been headache-stricken for several days, unable to find a solution.
In just a short while, Chen Mo had "outsourced" all the cases?
Li Yuan sent a ssage asking, "Sir, is this really okay?"
Chen Mo watched the two leave and whispered, "What’s there to worry about? She should thank us."
"Mr. Chen, thank you."
Lin Jingzhu turned around and waved with a smile.
Chen Mo spread his hands: "You see."
Li Yuan: "..."
...
The two walked out of the Imperial Music Bureau’s gate.
Shangguan Yunfei’s groggy mind cleared up a bit, and he suddenly realized: "That’s not right? I ca here to learn, so why haven’t I asked anything, and instead piled up a bunch of ss?"
Lin Jingzhu shook his head and said, "Foolish, can’t you see?"
"These small cases, for Mr. Chen, are easily handled, so how could they have been backlogged for so long?"
"He clearly wants to use this thod to test us, to test our abilities."
"As the saying goes, the law is not frivolously passed on, the way is not sold cheaply, Mr. Chen’s case-solving skills will naturally not be easily taught to diocrities."
Shangguan Yunfei stroked his chin and frowned, "But I still feel sothing is not quite right... If it were up to , I’d rather drag him to the Imperial Music Bureau to drink flower wine, find a couple of girls, as long as they make him happy, what skills can’t be asked out?"
Lin Jingzhu glanced at him disdainfully, "Vulgar! Do you think Mr. Chen is as unreserved as you?"
The hospital director from the Imperial Hospital personally said that Chen Mo hasn’t touched a woman for at least half a year!
Being of distinguished birth, yet maintaining such self-discipline, he is truly a man for great deeds!
Shangguan Yunfei: "?"
No matter how you look at it, Chen Mo doesn’t seem like a serious person...
...
In the Governnt office.
Chen Mo rested his legs on the desk, hands behind his head, and lazily said, "Sorted, now it’s much quieter."
Li Yuan smiled.
It seed no matter could stump this man.
Snap——
A crisp sound rang out.
"Uh!"
Li Yuan’s legs went weak and she almost couldn’t stand steady.
Chen Mo slightly raised an eyebrow; after their intimacy, this Little Tiger seed to beco even more sensitive.
"Cough cough, the cases have been outsourced, we’re free anyway, so why don’t we head to the back room..."
?!
Li Yuan hurriedly stepped back a few paces, her expression flustered, "We just finished this morning, are you never satisfied?"
If this continued, even as a Martial Artist she couldn’t withstand it!
Chen Mo looked innocent, "The incident this morning wasn’t my fault, General Li should bear the main responsibility."
Li Yuan questioned, "What responsibility do I have?"
"Who made you seduce your teacher?"
"..."
Li Yuan’s cheeks flushed red, wishing she could pounce and bite him.
This man is really terrible!
"Brother Chen Mo."
Just then, a sweet voice as refreshing as mountain springs in the forest rang out.
Li Yuan paused her movent and looked up at the woman entering the hall.
Her apricot yellow dress was exquisitely tailored, accentuating a waist you could grasp and graceful curves. Her black hair was half-up with a sheep fat jade hairpin, with a few strands falling beside her fair neck, making her skin appear even whiter than snow.
Her brows were like distant ink, her eyes sparkled like stars, each glance shimring with light; her noble nose and unadorned red lips, and her cheeks adorned with faint dimples.
Beautiful beyond words, like a person who walked out of a painting—
If one ignored the pig’s trotter in her hand.
That Lin Catcher just now was pretty, but she was composed, with only admiration and no love for Chen Mo.
However, the look this girl gave Chen Mo was obviously not so innocent.
At the sa ti, Shen Zhixia was sizing up Li Yuan.
Looking at those calm eyes, Li Yuan inexplicably felt nervous, like a "new concubine being scrutinized by the wife of the house."
"Brother Chen Mo, did you make the underwear for this lady?" Shen Zhixia asked.
"..."
Chen Mo touched his nose, "Not entirely..."
Zhixia glanced at him pensively.
So there was more than one?
She fell silent for a mont, then handed the pig’s trotter to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan paused, then grasped it.
The two held one end of the pig’s trotter each, creating a rather odd scene.
Zhixia’s lips slightly curved up, a smile rippling in her shallow dimples.
"Let introduce myself, my na is Shen Zhixia, I am Chen Mo’s fiancée."
