She really couldn't understand why Lin Mo could be like a chivalrous hero in a martial arts novel, rendering people unable to move.

After examining herself, she burst into tears.

My new phone has been activated!

"You despicable Lin Mo, you just wait! I'll make you pay with your life!"

The plane landed smoothly on the runway.

When Lin Mo walked out of the arrival gate, Su Qing was already waiting there.

He put his arm around Su Qing and led her to the parking lot, where they got into the G-Class.

After showering Su Qing with praise, he said, "Let's go see Xin Lu first!"

"Okay!" Su Qing nodded, blushing.

As the familiar street scenes of Dajiang City faded into the twilight outside the car window, he inadvertently opened his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror, only to find that the red BMW had reappeared!

It was already noon when the G-Wagon stopped in front of Xin Lu's villa.

As soon as Lin Mo got out of the car, he saw Xin Lu standing smiling under the porch waiting for him, with a tall, short-haired woman, Xin Peici, standing next to her.

Today she wore a smoky gray knitted cardigan, loose satin trousers, black stockings, and strappy sandals.

Moreover, she wore exquisite makeup, and her complexion was much better than when she was in the sanatorium last time. Her cheeks even had a healthy rosy glow and a charming look.

"Dr. Lin, it's been a long time."

Xin Peici extended her hand with a sweet smile.

Lin Mo held her hand; it was soft and smooth.

"Aunt Xin looks great; she's recovered even better than I expected."

Xin Peici withdrew her hand and stepped aside to let him in:

"It's all thanks to you."

Lulu told me you're going to the port to look at ships. I happen to know someone at the port authority, so I'll go with you; it'll speed up the paperwork."

Lin Mo glanced at Xin Lu, who shrugged.

"My aunt insisted on coming, and I couldn't stop her."

She said she owed you a life, so it was only right that she ran errands for you.

Lin Mo quickly waved his hand:

"Sister Lu, that's not what I meant at all. I'd be more than happy if Aunt Xin could come and help!"

"Did you hear that? You're just spouting nonsense, saying Lin Mo doesn't want to see me!"

Xin Peici rolled her eyes at Xin Lu.

Chatting casually, they got into their cars and headed towards the port area.

As soon as the car entered the overpass, Lin Mo glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the red BMW reappear!

It hung at a comfortable distance behind, maintaining a consistent distance of three vehicles.

Lin Mo withdrew his gaze, his face remaining expressionless, but in his mind, he had already raised the priority of this matter by one level.

They've been following him for so long, they must have ill intentions!

The port is located in the deep-water port area on the eastern outskirts of Dajiang City, surrounded by the sea on three sides and connected to the land on one side.

As expected, Xin Peici had acquaintances at the port authority. With just one phone call, she obtained temporary passes, and the three of them drove directly into the port area.

The vice president and his shipowner representative were already waiting at the dock, with a gray-white passenger and cargo ship moored at the berth behind them.

The hull number is faded and somewhat worn, but the hull is well-maintained.

The deck is spacious, and the cabins are divided into three levels. The lower cargo hold is extremely spacious, while the upper passenger cabins can accommodate at least a thousand people. The glass of the bridge is polished to a shine.

Accompanied by the shipowner, Lin Mo toured the ship from top to bottom. The engine, steering gear, navigation radar, and fire suppression system were all started and tested on the spot. The shipowner was an honest man; he carried the maintenance records and inspection reports with him and showed them to him page by page.

Before coming, Lin Mo had read a lot of materials on shipbuilding engineering. With his top-notch comprehension, he had a good grasp of the situation after reading through several reports.

Although the ship has been in service for ten years, its hull structure is intact and its power system has just undergone a major overhaul. It should be able to last another ten years without any problems.

"One hundred million, swipe your card."

Lin Mo nodded to Xin Lu.

Xin Lu took out her bank card from her bag and handed it to the shipowner's representative. The POS machine then printed out a long receipt.

Seeing Lin Mo's straightforwardness, the shipowner's representative warmly grasped Lin Mo's hands and shook them vigorously:

"Mr. Lin, you're so generous!"

This boat is yours from today onwards. All the formalities will be completed within three days, and the keys and certificates will be given to you now.

"It won't take three days. I've already made arrangements; it'll be done in no time!"

Xin Peici spoke.

"That would be very kind of trouble for Mayor Xin!"

After handing over the ship's certificates and keys, Lin Mo didn't rush to let the ship owner leave with his people. Instead, he changed the subject:

"By the way, I'm quite interested in sailing. Could the captain teach me how to operate it?"

The shipowner readily agreed and called over an old captain who had been working on ships for twenty years, who then led Lin Mo into the bridge.

The old captain was a dark-skinned local man with a heavy southern accent. He explained everything to him, from operating the turret to steering the wheel, from identifying things on the radar screen to the rules of radio communication.

After talking for about half an hour, Lin Mo nodded, indicating that he would give it a try.

The old captain handed over the helm and stood aside, ready to take over at any time.

Lin Mo gripped the rudder with both hands and slowly turned the bow of the ship according to the old captain's instructions, accelerating, decelerating, and fine-tuning the rudder angle. The ship was so stable that the swaying was almost imperceptible.

Even when berthing, no pilot was needed; the hull gently touched the rubber fenders of the dock without any vibration from the collision.

The old captain stood to the side, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly, before finally just giving a thumbs-up:

"I've never seen anything like this in my twenty years of sailing."

The shipowner, who was standing nearby, was also dumbfounded. When Lin Mo came out of the cockpit, he looked at him with an inexplicable sense of awe.

"Mr. Lin, you..."

The shipowner couldn't find a suitable word at the moment.

"You've really never sailed a boat before?"

"I've never driven one before; this is the first time I've touched the steering wheel."

Lin Mo patted the dust off his hands.

The shipowner and the old captain exchanged a glance, secretly marveling at what a prodigy he was!

"Oh, right, there's something else I'd like to ask you."

Lin Mo pointed to the two speedboats next to the berth.

"Are you selling these two speedboats? I'd like to buy them both."

"For sale! They're just sitting idle. If you want, both for three million."

Lin Mo transferred the money on the spot.

It was already evening when all the formalities were completed. The setting sun dyed the entire port area golden red, and seagulls circled on the masts between the berths.

Lin Mo treated Xin Lu and Xin Peici to a meal at a seafood restaurant near the port area. During the meal, Xin Peici served him food several times and changed her address for him from "Dr. Lin" to "Xiao Mo".

After dinner, Xin Lu drove Xin Peici back home, while Lin Mo told Su Qing to go back first, and he returned to the port area alone.

Arriving at a remote berth on the far east side of the port, we found two speedboats that we had just bought.

Worried about the presence of cameras, Lin Mo drove the speedboat a long way to a desolate shore and stored it in his spatial dimension. He then returned to the port and repeated the process with the next speedboat.

After doing all this, Lin Mo finally boarded the passenger and cargo ship.
