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

In the bedroom, only Lin Mo and Nannan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, remained.

Lin Mo stood there, his face still flushed.

What kind of nonsense is this?

He just wanted to hire a security supervisor, how did it quickly escalate into the realm of unspoken rules?

What exactly is the structure of this woman's brain?

Do I really look like a lustful, tyrannical ruler?

Lin Mo subconsciously touched his face.

That shouldn't be the case; he's clearly an upright and reliable young talent.

headache.

This is really a headache.

Lin Mo shook his head helplessly, walked to the bedside, and glanced at his daughter who was sleeping soundly with drool almost dripping from her mouth.

The little girl smacked her lips, probably dreaming about something delicious.

very nice.

Children are so innocent, unlike her mother... whose mind is more complicated than a maze.

Behind the screen, the rustling sound of changing clothes could be heard.

The sound of fabric rubbing together was very soft, yet it scratched at Lin Mo's eardrums again and again.

He forced himself to look away and paced around the room to distract himself from the sound.

He spent 5000 Hegemony Points to redeem this set of Zhenwu Division official uniform in the system shop.

Made of special materials, it is impervious to knives and guns, water and fire, and also has a constant temperature and cleaning effect.

Most importantly, he's handsome and beautiful!

Just as clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse, if you want to create a mysterious department that strikes fear into people's hearts, you must be dressed to the nines.

He had already decided that once the Shadow Guard system was activated, he would equip everyone with it.

From now on, when we go out on business, we'll all be dressed in black with unicorn patterns. Just standing there, our aura will be enough to crush people.

specialized!

Just as Lin Mo was envisioning the future, the voice behind the screen stopped.

Very light footsteps sounded, and a figure slowly walked out from behind the screen.

Lin Mo turned around.

Then, the composure he had just put on almost crumbled.

If Bai Zhi, who was previously naked, was a captivating beauty, then...

Now, dressed in this black outfit, she is like a drawn blade, gleaming with cold light.

That dark black official robe seemed to have been tailor-made for her.

The tight-fitting cut perfectly accentuated her breathtaking curves.

Beneath the striking outfit lies skin whiter than snow, a stark contrast between black and white that creates a powerful visual impact.

Especially her straight, long legs, tightly wrapped in black trousers, exuded an explosive sense of power with every step.

Her face, which was originally so beautiful it seemed unreal, lost some of its charm and gained a coldness that made her seem unapproachable when she was dressed in a solemn official robe.

A sense of abstinence.

It's full!

Lin Mo's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

He quickly looked away, cleared his throat, and forced himself to calm down.

This is an interview; they need to be professional, and you're the boss.

"How does it feel?"

Lin Mo put on a nonchalant demeanor again, as if the person who had almost stared at him just now wasn't him at all.

Bai Zhi did not answer immediately.

She lowered her head and stroked the unfamiliar fabric of her clothes.

The fabric of this outfit is quite peculiar; it fits snugly against the skin, yet doesn't feel restrictive. Instead, it gives one a strange sense of security.

more importantly.

When she put on this outfit and looked at the unfamiliar version of herself in the bronze mirror...

The long-standing sense of wandering and unease in my heart seemed to be somewhat suppressed by this black outfit.

This is a feeling I've never had before.

She looked up at Lin Mo, a trace of panic still lingering in her clear, autumn-water-like eyes.

"It fits... very well."

Lin Mo nodded, finally regaining his composure and getting back to the main topic.

"That's right, I've established a new department at Tiebi Pass called Zhenwu Division."

"I hope you will become the head of the Zhenwu Division."

"Commander?"

Bai Zhi looked somewhat bewildered.

"It means you're the boss there, the leader."

Lin Mo explained in the simplest terms possible.

"From now on, you will be in full charge of everything in the Zhenwu Division, and everyone will listen to you."

"but."

Lin Mo paused, then changed the subject.

"What I'm doing now is quite risky; it's practically going against the entire Great Xia Dynasty. If you're not willing, I won't force you."

After saying that, Lin Mo turned his head and glanced at the little girl sleeping soundly on the bed.

"As for this little one, I feel like I have a special connection with her."

"So whether you join or not, she can come to me anytime if she needs anything in the future."

"I will definitely help within my capabilities."

"fate……"

Bai Zhi silently chewed on those two words.

Since this man came to Tiebiguan, her stagnant life was like a boulder had been thrown into it.

Before meeting him, she and her daughter lived in constant fear of being found by the Ten Thousand Gu Tower.

What is the future?

She didn't know, and she dared not think about it.

But Lin Mo's appearance gave her a new option.

One option that might mean no longer being treated like a rat in the street, and that the little girl no longer having to endure the torment of cold poison.

As for... being an enemy of the entire Great Xia?

A cold smile crept across Bai Zhi's face.

Compared to the Ten Thousand Gu Tower, what is the mere Great Xia Dynasty?

but……

The mere thought of the words "Ten Thousand Gu Tower" shattered Bai Zhi's newly ignited hope, casting a shadow of fear over it once more.

If I had agreed to his request and joined his team...

That means that the huge trouble he was in would also be transferred to him.

She admitted that Lin Mo was very strong and mysterious.

But the Ten Thousand Gu Tower...

That behemoth that has been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, whose influence has permeated all walks of life, and whose disciples are all over the world.

Can he really... do it?

Seemingly sensing Bai Zhi's concerns, Lin Mo's voice rang out again, interrupting her thoughts.

"Don't think about those unnecessary things."

"If you help me, you're my friend."

"Since we're friends, your troubles are naturally my troubles."

He grinned and continued in a relaxed tone.

"So, no matter how troublesome this is, I will take it all on."

friend……

This unfamiliar word, like a warm current, broke down Bai Zhi's defenses.

Since her sister died, she has never had a sense of belonging.

Everyone she knew wanted something from her.

The owner of the Ten Thousand Gu Tower wanted Nannan, but the people he encountered on his escape wanted even more.

Only this man.

He appeared when she was at her most desperate, saved Nannan, and gave her the respect she had never known before.

Now, he's still willing to treat her troubles as his own.

So this is what it feels like to be protected?

Bai Zhi's heart trembled violently.

However, the next second, she shook her head violently.

The watery light in his eyes vanished instantly, leaving them clear and sharp.

No.

That's not enough.

Friendships are too fragile.

She couldn't entrust her daughter's and her own future to such an ethereal word.

She needs a stronger, more secure, and more inseparable connection.

Bai Zhi raised her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Mo, her gaze filled with a resolute determination.

"Being friends isn't enough."

"I want... a closer relationship."
