Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Next to the prefectural government office, there is a small alley. After winding your way through it, you will find an inconspicuous general store hidden inside.

The shop is small, and it sells everyday items for ordinary people.

Oil, salt, vinegar, tea, needles, thread, and other odds and ends.

Business seems slow.

But unlike the dirty and messy surroundings, the counters and floor of the grocery store were kept in perfect order.

The shop owner, Chen Guang, was wearing a kind smile as he filled a gourd with wine for a regular customer.

"Take care, buddy, the roads are slippery outside, be careful."

"Alright, thanks, shopkeeper."

As the guest staggered away, Chen Guang's smile gradually faded, replaced by an barely concealed anxiety.

Not right.

Something's really wrong.

The "Ghost Gate" experts sent from the capital arrived with lightning speed; by now, news should have already been sent back.

But a whole day passed, and it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no news at all.

Whether it's success or failure, there should be a result.

This deathly silence made him more anxious than any bad news.

He even had an impulse to close the shop immediately and go out to find out what was going on.

But he dared not.

His mission was to lie in wait.

It's stuck here like a nail.

Observe and record, and at the most critical moment, transmit the most critical intelligence.

Exposure means death.

Can……

What if the adults make a mistake?

Is that Lin Mo even more powerful than those adults?

Chen Guang's mind was in turmoil.

He picked up a rag and wiped the already clean countertop again and again, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart.

Just then.

A calm voice sounded at the door.

"Shopkeeper, just buying soy sauce."

Chen Guang was taken aback when he heard this; the voice sounded somewhat unfamiliar.

But his instinct, honed by years of pretense, made him immediately suppress all his emotions and put on a kind smile again.

"Alright! Please take your order, sir..."

He answered as he turned around.

However, when Chen Guang saw who it was, the smile on his face froze.

The question, "How much would you like to call?", was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it anymore.

Standing at the door was a tall and upright young man.

He has a handsome face and looks harmless.

But that face,

He will never forget this in his entire life!

Isn't this the very same Lin family remnant from his secret letter who caused chaos in Black Wind City and terrified him?!

What is he doing here?!

How could he possibly have found this place?!

Chen Guang stared blankly at Lin Mo, momentarily stunned.

Lin Mo, however, seemed oblivious to his deathly pale face, and walked in on his own, gently closing the creaking wooden door behind him.

"Click".

A soft sound shut out the noise outside the door, cutting off all of Chen Guang's chances of survival.

"Shopkeeper, what are you staring at?"

Lin Mo's tone was very calm, as if he were chatting with a neighbor.

"You're not doing business anymore?"

"Do...do..."

Chen Guang finally came to his senses and managed to squeeze out two dry words.

He tried to bend down to pick up the rag, but his legs felt like they were made of lead and wouldn't obey him at all.

Lin Mo's crystal-clear eyes swept around the small shop, finally settling on the area behind the counter.

He chuckled softly and casually picked up a small porcelain jar from the table.

"Shopkeeper, your shop is really clean."

"It's cleaner than the boudoirs of those ladies from wealthy families; there's not a speck of dust."

Chen Guang trembled.

His greatest strengths are his caution and meticulousness.

This is also why he was able to remain hidden here for so many years without ever making a mistake.

"Sir...sir, you're too kind. It's a small business; if we don't keep things clean, no one will come..."

Chen Guang's teeth were chattering.

"Oh……"

"Then let me ask you."

"Have you finished writing the letter to the three young masters of the capital?"

Lin Mo put the porcelain bottle back on the table and got straight to the point.

boom!

Chen Guang was stunned, and then his mind seemed to explode.

He found out!

He knows everything!

Fear instantly overwhelmed his reason, and the instinct for survival drove Chen Guang to do the most insane thing!

He turned around abruptly, his left hand flashing out under the counter!

There, hidden, was his last life-saving measure: a poisoned needle that would kill instantly!

However, his hand had just touched the mechanism.

His other hand was even faster.

The hand came down from above, pressing down hard on the back of his hand, rendering him unable to move.

"Don't move."

Lin Mo's voice was calm.

"What...what do you want?"

Chen Guang's voice was dry and hoarse, each word sounding like it was being forced out of his throat.

Lin Mo smiled and released his grip.

"Not very good."

He sat back down in his chair.

"It's a very simple thing."

Write me a letter.

Chen Guang's pupils contracted.

write a letter?

To whom should I write the letter?

Lin Mo seemed to see through his thoughts and slowly added.

"For your master, the Third Young Master of the capital."

The letter was very simple.

"Just say that you personally confirmed that the Thirteen Ghosts of the Ghost Gate mission was successfully completed, and that no one in Dingbei Prefecture was spared."

"Lin Mo, a remnant of the Lin family, has been reduced to ashes."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

"hehe……"

Chen Guang suddenly laughed.

At first, it was just a low, muffled laugh, with his shoulders trembling slightly.

Then, the laughter grew louder and more unrestrained!

"Haha...hahahaha!"

"You want me to... betray the Third Young Master!?"

Chen Guang pointed at himself, laughing so hard he could barely breathe.

"Do you know who I am? Do you know what the Third Young Master means to us?"

"Our lives were given to us by the Third Young Master!"

"It is our honor to die for the Third Young Master!"

"You want me to write a letter to deceive him? You're insulting me! You're also insulting the greatness of the Third Young Master!"

Chen Guang stood tall, his eyes burning with the mad flames of "faith," showing no fear whatsoever.

"Kill me if you must!"

"You think you can make me betray you? Dream on!"

Seeing Chen Guang's expression, Lin Mo couldn't help but frown.

He figured it out.

This guy is no ordinary spy.

Instead, they were thoroughly brainwashed assassins.

Fanatic.

Dealing with this kind of person is a bit troublesome.

but……

Lin Mo was not in a hurry.

We'll figure out a way later; we'll eventually be able to bring this guy "back to his senses."

I just don't have the time for that right now.

Feng Niang's injuries are still unclear; that's the most important thing right now.

With that thought in mind, Lin Mo no longer hesitated, stood up, and dusted off his sleeves.

"His integrity is commendable."

He made a casual comment.

Seeing this, Chen Guang thought that his words had intimidated the other party, and a contemptuous sneer appeared on his face.

"Now you're scared? Too late! We..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Chen Guang's vision blurred.

Lin Mo's figure had already appeared in front of him.

"Bang."

A muffled thud.

All of Chen Guang's voice, fervor, and faith came to an abrupt end with a swift and decisive chop.

His eyes were unfocused, and his body went limp and collapsed.

Lin Mo lifted him up from the ground and carried him on his shoulder.

He turned around, pushed open the door, and went out.

The alley was deserted, as if nothing had ever happened.

……

Upon returning to Dingbei Prefecture, the atmosphere inside remained tense.

Under Qin Ruxue's command, the guards were cleaning up the bloodstains and corpses everywhere.

Qin Ruxue, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit with her long hair tied up high, was issuing orders in an orderly manner.

Seeing Lin Mo return, she quickly went to greet him.

Her gaze first swept over Lin Mo to make sure he was unharmed, then fell on Chen Guang, who had been thrown to the ground unconscious, her brows furrowing.

"Who is this?"

"A nail."

Lin Mo succinctly recounted the whole story.

When Qin Ruxue heard that it was this guy's secret letter that attracted these men in black in the mansion, her eyes turned cold.

"I killed him!"

She valued the Lin family and Lin Mo's safety above all else; any potential threat had to be nipped in the bud!

With a "clang," the Lianhua Sword was drawn half an inch from its sheath, its cold light gleaming.

However, as soon as she took a step, her wrist was grabbed by a large hand.

Qin Ruxue was taken aback.

The next second, a sudden force pulled her, causing her to stumble and be uncontrollably pulled into a firm embrace.

A familiar scent enveloped her.

"What are you doing!"

Qin Ruxue was both ashamed and angry, her cheeks instantly flushed red, and she instinctively tried to struggle.

In broad daylight, with so many guards watching over us!

Lin Mo didn't let go; instead, he pulled her even tighter, feeling the amazing elasticity and softness in his arms.

He raised his other hand and gently scratched Qin Ruxue's pert nose, his tone carrying a hint of playful teasing.

"My second wife, why is she always like a little firecracker, ready to explode at the slightest provocation?"

"How can we allow violence to occur so frequently?"

Lin Mo lowered his voice and leaned close to her ear.

"If she really gives birth to my child, won't she be a little devil?"

Ru Xue's face flushed red instantly.

"Who...who wants to have your child! You...you let me go!"
