AWAKENING THE DAILY INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM

Chapter 569: 224, forging swords for the country!_2

It’s just making things awkward.

“We’ve talked enough for today,” Wu Jingguo glanced at his wristwatch, smiling as he said, “You can choose to continue resting in this small room, or you can switch to another guest room specifically designed for rest.”

“No one should bother you tonight, but you might be busy first thing tomorrow morning.”

“I’ll share another piece of news with you in advance, Liu Limin has returned to the Imperial Capital, and right now people over there are probably discussing your placement. The results will likely come out tomorrow morning.”

“Good night.”

Lin Mo didn’t choose to leave but continued to stay in the director’s office. After seeing Wu Jingguo off, he couldn’t help but stretch his body.

…

He was tired lately,

Not only had he sat through more than ten hours on an international flight, but he also spent half a day in the police station. Although he wasn’t mistreated, the intense dialogues had taken a toll on Lin Mo’s spirit.

After stretching, Lin Mo lay down comfortably, resting his head on his arms, and slowly closed his eyes.

If someone else knew the results would come out tomorrow morning, they might be very nervous or excited, but for Lin Mo, it wasn’t quite like that.

He could accept any outcome.

If the worst-case scenario occurred, then he would take his family and leave Grand Xia forever, find a place where the climate is pleasant all year round, and spend his later years there.

Only by doing so, he couldn’t fulfill the hope he and the elderly at home had, and in the future, whenever this matter was mentioned, there would inevitably be many regrets.

“Ah…”

Lin Mo slowly closed his eyes, and images of his family, his adorable son, and daughter, involuntarily floated to his mind.

He didn’t know what they were doing now, or if they had gone to bed.

They were probably still worrying about him.

“Don’t worry, although it is deep into the night, dawn will always break, and tomorrow will come quickly. Sunny days are not far off.”

Lin Mo took a deep breath, cast aside the excess thoughts in his mind, emptied himself, and waited to fall asleep.

…

Meanwhile,

In East Sea City, in a villa unknown to the public.

The time was already past two in the morning, with a bright moon and sparkling stars hanging in the sky, indicating that the next day would probably be good weather.

The people in the living room had not yet gone to sleep, and each face was etched with concerns.

Even Lin Xi, who was still quite young, could feel the unfriendly atmosphere at home. He sat in a chair beside them, staring blankly at the adults nearby.

After watching for a long time without seeing any movement from them, Lin Xi quietly asked Lin Xiaoxiao, “Sis, when can Dad come back?”

When can he come back?

Lin Xiaoxiao could already understand the news on TV and the internet, and she knew her father’s situation was very dangerous.

Even though she was only 12, still a child, she was much smarter than others might think.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t deceive her brother and shook her head, saying, “I don’t know when Dad will come back, but I believe that he will definitely return.”

“He would never abandon us!”

“Are you sleepy? Shall I take you to bed?”

It was clear that Lin Xi was already very sleepy; his gaze was getting dull, and his expression was wooden.

But still, he stubbornly shook his head and said, “I’m not sleepy. I want to wait for Dad to come back and then go to sleep together.”

“Wuu… wuu wuu…”

Despite his words, he couldn’t hold back his emotions and started to cry loudly.

After all, he was just a four-year-old child, and many times he couldn’t control his feelings.

His crying also made Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes well up with tears.

The adults sitting beside were pulled back to reality by the crying of the child.

They quickly got up and came over.

“Xi, what’s wrong?”

“Son, Mommy’s here!”

“Grandpa’s here too!”

“What happened? Did you fall?”

“Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong with your brother?”

The crowd surrounded the two children, bombarding them with questions about what had just happened.

Their attention was focused on the news about Lin Mo, so much so that they had forgotten that it was already late at night.

Lin Xiaoxiao, watching the adults crowd around her, couldn’t hold back her own grief and said with tears streaming down her face, “Brother said he wants to wait for Dad to come back before sleeping…”

“Mom… When is Dad coming back?”

Lin Xi cried even louder, roaring as if to howl, “Dad… Dad… I want Dad… wuu… wuu…”

The living room instantly became chaotic.

Li Jinwen and the others looked at each other, clueless about how to console the children.

Lin Changshui squatted down, looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, and said, “Xiaoxiao, Dad will be back soon, don’t worry. Your dad isn’t in danger; he’s just busy with some work for a few days.”

Lin Xiaoxiao adored her grandfather Lin Changshui, and usually listened obediently to his words.

But today she acted out of character, her tears did not stop as she wiped her eyes, saying, “Grandpa is lying, Grandpa is lying to me…”

“I saw the news, Dad was taken away by the police uncle, Dad is never coming back.”

“Wuu… wuu… Dad… I want Dad…”

“Dad is not a bad person… Why did the police uncle take Dad away…”

The cry of a child is the most infectious.

When Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Xi cried, it made several women with teary eyes in the living room start crying too.

The living room instantly became chaotic.

“Stop crying, everyone stop crying!” Li Jinshan shouted, and the living room briefly quieted down.

All eyes focused on him.

“Ah…” Li Jinshan sighed, picked up Lin Xi from the ground, then said to Lin Xiaoxiao, “Xiaoxiao, you’re grown up now, grandpa can’t lie to you. Your dad is indeed at the police station right now.”

“But rest assured, your dad is not a bad person and won’t stay in the police station forever. He’ll be back in a few days.”

“And once he comes back this time, he’ll never leave us again.”

Li Jinwen also followed up, saying, “That’s right, Xiaoxiao, Mom won’t lie to you. Once Dad comes back, he won’t go away again.”

“Don’t be afraid, and don’t cry anymore, Mom is here, Mom will protect you.”

She hugged Lin Xiaoxiao, and though she told her daughter not to cry, her own tears uncontrollably flowed out.

The living room quieted down, Li Jinshan checked the time on his phone, sighed deeply, and said, “It’s getting late, everyone should go to bed early. Don’t bring your phones into the bedroom, leave them all outside, and get a full night’s sleep.”

“Lin Mo is a good kid, he’s shouldering an unprecedented burden for our family now. Since we can’t be of much help, we mustn’t cause him more trouble!”

“Go to sleep.”

“Don’t let it be that Lin Mo finishes dealing with things on his side, and we end up sick, needing the child to take care of us!”

Everyone knew they weren’t much help, but the feeling of unease and guilt still made it impossible to face their own helplessness.

“Alright, we all think the same; we all want Lin Mo to come back safely. But my dad is right, if we become ill ourselves, we would end up worrying Lin Mo!”

“Yes, at least for now, the public opinion on the internet is favorable for us. It will surely turn ill fortune into good, finding a blessing in misfortune!”

“Sleep!”

“Xiaoxiao, how about you sleep with grandma tonight?”

“Lin Xi, you’ll sleep with grandpa tonight. Don’t you love to listen to grandpa’s stories? Today grandpa will tell you plenty!”

Everyone encouraged each other, began to wash up, then retreated to their rooms to rest.

…

The next day, early morning.

In an unnamed deep mountain.

This was the Grand Xia Country’s highest-level military factory, with the strictest security measures.

A statue stood at the entrance, its head bowed in a kiss to the earth, with hands in front lifting a massive sword.

To forge swords for the country in anonymity!

The statue alone signified the profound history of this military factory.

At that moment, the military factory’s helipad was incredibly busy. From time to time, a helicopter carrying Grand Xia’s top experts in the field of engine research would land in the designated area.

Waiting at the helipad was none other than Liu Limin, who had rushed here overnight the day before.
