Lin Mo said, "I'm looking for your person in charge, I know him."
"Oh, you know our 'person in charge?' Do you think this is a school?"
A voice slightly tinged with mockery rose from behind.
Chen Bo and a group of young n and won walked over.
"Sorry, our person in charge doesn't know you," said the soldier, his expression serious as if he were responding to a reply received through his earpiece.
"Ha ha, what did I just say? Posing here," Chen Bo laughed heartily.
A look of disdain grew more evident in the eyes of several young n and won, their faces bearing a teasing expression as they looked at Lin Mo.
They assud that Lin Mo, unable to let go of his pride, had deliberately co over to inquire about Instructor Shangguan, feigning familiarity with military personnel.
After all, what young n care about the most is pride—youth are willing to risk their lives over re words, unsatisfied to be deed inferior.
"Excuse , I'm looking for Major Liu, he's my cousin," Chen Bo said, tilting his chin up arrogantly.
The soldier frowned, seemingly sowhat reluctant to entertain soone like Chen Bo.
Nevertheless, he made an inquiry because, after all, the upper echelons had instructed that while a military mission was the public claim, they couldn't be too stringent or it would attract unwanted attention.
After a while, a man in his thirties arrived, dressed in military uniform, with two bars and one star on his shoulder, the rank of a lieutenant.
"Um, little Bo, what's the matter?" he asked, his brow furrowed, the man clearly not having received prior notice of the visit.
"Cousin, my friends and I ca to have fun, we heard that Lobu Lake has so spectacular sights, and we'd like to go in and see," Chen Bo said.
The cousin frowned and said sternly, "Ridiculous, I'm here on a mission, and without orders from above, no one is allowed to enter."
"Cousin, we're just going to take a look, we won't ss around," Chen Bo hadn't expected to be refused by his cousin, and imdiately felt his pride wounded.
"No, it's a military order, stop causing trouble here, or it could be life-threatening," his cousin said seriously, his voice growing much lower by the last sentence.
Seeing his cousin's firm tone, Chen Bo knew there was no chance of getting in.
However, rembering that after all he knew a major who was his cousin, he glanced at Lin Mo out of the corner of his eye.
"Let it be, Mr. Chen, it seems there really is sothing going on here," a girl with less courage said.
Another boy said, "Anyway, we're here to have fun, we don't need to go in; there's nothing but desert inside, not much entertainnt."
"Yes, but so people couldn't even get a response when they called out, at least you, Mr. Chen, have a cousin who's a lieutenant."
As they spoke, the group of young n and won looked at Lin Mo again, their faces showing mockery.
Chen Bo felt much better hearing his friends' comnts.
Although his cousin hadn't let him in, he had at least managed to call soone—a sharp contrast to Lin Mo, who had apparently made up a na and couldn't summon anyone.
"True, so people pretend and can't even get a response," Chen Bo said with a cold smile, looking contemptuously at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo remained indifferent, as if he hadn't heard their words at all.
"Is Minister Shangguan here?" Lin Mo inquired, looking at the 'cousin.'
The cousin glanced at Lin Mo and frowned, "There's no Minister Shangguan here."
"Ha ha, still putting on an act; cousin, ignore him, he wants to get in too, but doesn't know anyone," Chen Bo said with a cold laugh.
"Yes, even Mr. Chen's cousin with a lieutenant rank can't let us in; who do you think you are?"
"That Minister Shangguan of yours must also be made up, right?"
Lin Mo frowned. Logically speaking, matters regarding Heavenly Sect should be handled by a special departnt or the Security Bureau; how could Minister Shangguan not be here?
"Major Liu, what's happened?"
As they spoke, a voice like the ringing of silver bells reached everyone's ears.
Chen Bo and a group of friends followed the sound and were instantly stunned.
They saw a woman with her hair tied back in a ponytail, dressed in military uniform, walk out. She carried an imposing air of majesty, her features delicate and pretty, her aura detached—a far cry from ordinary vulgar appearances.
"Miss Sima."
Major Liu, who was the cousin in question, called out upon seeing the approaching woman.
"In the army, it's better to call by my na," Sima Zining said softly.
By military rank, Sima Zining was still a student at the military academy, but her father and grandfather were both high-ranking officials in the army, which gave her a certain status and position even within the military.
"It's nothing, my cousin wanted to go in, and I've already told him he can't," Major Liu explained.
"Mmm, Lobu Lake has been sealed. Without orders, no one can..." Sima Zining's voice suddenly stopped. Her gaze had swept over the faces of Chen Bo and the others, and when she spotted a familiar and handso face, she froze.
"Lin Mo."
Upon seeing Lin Mo, Sima Zining's eyes suddenly reddened, but she forcefully suppressed her emotions, biting her lip, and strode towards Lin Mo.
"I just knew you would co," Sima Zining said, with tears rimming her eyes.
Lin Mo was also taken aback. Given that Sima Zining was still in the military academy, how could she be here?
Since their last parting in Qinghai, Lin Mo hadn't seen Sima Zining again.
"How co you're here? Where is Minister Shangguan?"
"He's attending to other tasks and couldn't co, so I applied and ca here specially," Sima Zining said, her face flushing.
Lin Mo quickly understood.
The incident at Lobu Lake was connected to the Heavenly Sect, and Sima Zining probably knew he would co and had specially applied to be there.
Even Lin Mo, with a heart as hard as steel, couldn't help but feel a touch of softness in the face of such a woman's dedication.
"So that's how it is," Lin Mo nodded in acknowledgnt.
Standing aside, Chen Bo and a group of teenagers stared wide-eyed in disbelief that such a beautiful woman knew Lin Mo.
Lin Mo already had a little loli by his side, and now there was another lady of valiant grace and outstanding quality, inducing envy and jealousy in those who watched.
Chen Bo clenched his fists tightly, nearly grinding his teeth to pieces.
"Lin Mo, shall we go in first?" Sima Zining suggested, blinking her long, feather-like lashes.
"Mmm."
Lin Mo nodded, about to go in.
But Chen Bo suddenly stepped forward and said, "Cousin, didn't you say no one was allowed in?"
Major Liu glanced at Chen Bo. Indeed, there was such an order, but Sima Zining had a special identity.
"There is that regulation. However, Sima Zining's grandfather is Commander Sima, so..." Major Liu began to explain.
Chen Bo and the others were shocked once again.
Such a beautiful woman was not only graced with a stunning appearance, but her background was also remarkably impressive.
Chen Bo looked at Lin Mo, completely at a loss as to what was so attractive about him that he was always surrounded by beautiful won.
Sima Zining's willow leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Major Liu, the military has its own discipline. My grandfather is my grandfather, and I am . The reason Lin Mo can enter is that he is the Chief Instructor of the Emperor Group!"
The statent was uttered.
Silence fell over the entire place.
Major Liu and the surrounding soldiers had naturally heard of the Emperor Group.
But they were unaware that the Emperor Group had such a young Chief Instructor.
Yet, such a matter couldn't possibly be taken as a joke, especially coming from Sima Zining's mouth.
