Sit down

However, it was too late.

Wen Tonghai had already raised his thick, sturdy hand, aiming his palm at Lin Mo, murderous intent fully revealed in his eyes.

"You..."

Snap!

Lin Mo merely snapped his fingers casually.

It was as crisp as flicking away a speck of dust on a quiet afternoon.

"Sit down!"

Thud!

The explosive tension from a second ago, a pressure intense enough to flip the entire building, vanished without a trace in that instant.

All the trembling, all the sounds, all the pressure disappeared abruptly.

The sound system was saved.

Originally, Lin Mo had wanted to wait a little longer, planning to suppress the old man when he was at his absolute peak.

But this old geezer had no sense of martial virtue and actually wanted to smash him with his sound system. Lin Mo had poured his heart and soul into tuning this setup, okay!

The imposing aura Wen Tonghai had built up to its peak deflated like a popped balloon. He instantly lost all his strength, his butt crashing heavily back into the sofa, even bouncing up a little from the impact.

His mouth hung open, his Adam's apple bobbing, but he couldn't make a single sound. Only bewilderment and terror remained in his eyes.

Only then did Lin Mo walk over with a cold sneer, looking down at him from above.

"Finally took the bait."

He clapped his hands as if brushing off some bad luck, then turned his head to look at the completely petrified Dongfang Shuye and Liu Zheng.

"Thank you both for your cooperation in luring this old guy here."

He turned to look at Dongfang Shuye and Liu Zheng.

"I really appreciate your cooperation. Let's just transfer his abilities directly to Liu Zheng. After all, Liu Zheng, your abilities are just so-so, and an old guy like this won't live much longer anyway. Might as well let him make a contribution before he dies."

Dongfang Shuye and Liu Zheng were completely dumbfounded, their minds going entirely blank.

The two subconsciously exchanged a glance, both hoping to find the answer to whether this was all an act in the other's eyes.

However, they only saw the same bewilderment and horror reflected in each other's pupils.

Something was wrong.

We didn't know anything about this either!

They never expected that Wen Tonghai, who held a highly respected position and possessed top-tier strength within Yanhuang Awakening, would be suppressed by a single snap of the fingers.

"Actually..." Dongfang Shuye wanted to say something, but Lin Mo simply raised a hand to interrupt him.

"Say no more. Since this kind of technology has fallen into our hands, there should be a proper protocol."

Lin Mo's gaze swept past Dongfang Shuye, finally landing on the pale-faced Liu Zheng.

"These old fossils who occupy positions without doing anything should be replaced.

I am in the dark, and you are in the light. Liu Zheng, you can re-emerge with a new identity."

Listening to Lin Mo's casual yet earth-shattering words, Dongfang Shuye and Liu Zheng remained silent.

They couldn't fathom what Lin Mo was trying to do at all, but they both knew that this young man's logic was on a completely different level from theirs.

Listening to Lin Mo's words, Dongfang Shuye and Liu Zheng didn't speak. They didn't know what Lin Mo wanted to do, but they knew one thing: Lin Mo had his own way of doing things.

Lin Mo turned his head again, looking down condescendingly at the immobilized Wen Tonghai on the sofa.

"Old man, want to say your last words? Fine, I'll give you a chance."

He snapped his fingers.

Wen Tonghai, who previously couldn't utter a single word, suddenly took a huge gasp of air. The veins on his neck bulged, and his eyes, bloodshot with rage, glared fiercely at Lin Mo.

"You... you guys! How dare you collude with outsiders!"

Wen Tonghai's gaze swept over Dongfang Shuye and Liu Zheng, filled with the fury of disappointment and betrayal.

Lin Mo sneered coldly. "Are these your last words? Didn't you say you could guarantee it a hundred percent? Now you can't even protect yourself, so what are you going to use to guarantee anything?"

As he spoke, he had already pressed his hand onto the top of Wen Tonghai's graying head.

The temperature transmitting from the top of his head made Wen Tonghai's entire body stiffen.

"Don't worry, extracting your abilities will only cause a tiny bit of pain. It won't be too uncomfortable."

As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Wen Tonghai instead closed his eyes. That face, twisted in anger, actually slowly calmed down.

"I, Wen Tonghai, have lived my life with a clear conscience, unashamed before heaven and earth! I am open and aboveboard, with nothing to hide!"

Though his voice wasn't loud, every word was sonorous and forceful. "My only regret is not cleaning out the parasites in the organization sooner, allowing you despicable scoundrels to exploit the loopholes!"

At this moment, Dongfang Shuye finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Lin Mo, that's enough. Don't humiliate Elder Wen anymore."

Lin Mo casually lowered his hand and shrugged. "Just playing around. Doesn't he like to talk about hundred-percent guarantees? Then I'll let him experience firsthand what it means that nothing in this world is absolute."

Wen Tonghai had already prepared himself for death, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but open his eyes again.

Lin Mo looked at Wen Tonghai, who had reopened his eyes. The fury in those eyes had extinguished, leaving behind only an indescribable ashen despair.

"Even Sir wouldn't dare guarantee what you people would do after acquiring this kind of technological means. Perhaps there is only a one percent chance that it would be abused or misused."

Then Lin Mo slowly spread his hands. "Is there a lack of organ trafficking in society? It happens repeatedly despite being banned, doesn't it? If it really happens, can you completely prohibit it?"

He stopped in front of Wen Tonghai, hammering away at the other party's remaining pride word by word.

"This is a Pandora's box. I stand by what I said: when you die, can you guarantee that your abilities will be transferred to a righteous person?"

The immobilized Wen Tonghai was completely silenced by this sentence.

Indeed, what could he use to guarantee it? Was he really going to use his remaining dozen or so years of lifespan?

Afterward, Lin Mo turned to look at Dongfang Shuye again.

"What does the Director of your Yanhuang Awakening think about this matter? I assume you didn't say you were going to cause trouble for me."

Dongfang Shuye nodded. "The bureau indeed hasn't made any arrangements regarding you. The majority opinion is to focus on winning you over, it's just..."

Lin Mo glanced at Wen Tonghai and immediately understood. This old man, carrying his so-called justice and convictions, had come straight to cause trouble for him.

"Damn, acting first and reporting later? Can't there be some proper procedure?"

With that, Lin Mo raised his hand and said, "Make a phone call. Ask about that Director-General's attitude. Otherwise, if you guys come by every other day, how am I supposed to go to school?"

Dongfang Shuye originally thought he was quite arrogant among the younger generation.

But now, Lin Mo was far more arrogant than him, actually telling him to call and ask for the Director-General's attitude.

"Actually, about this matter..."

"Call them. I will talk to them." Lin Mo interrupted what Dongfang Shuye was about to say very decisively.

"If we can't reach an agreement, at least I still hold you guys hostage."

Lin Mo's tone was very indifferent, but Liu Zheng, standing to the side, still felt a certain chill.

Dongfang Shuye felt it too. He immediately took out a specially-made mobile phone and dialed a number.

At this time, Wen Tonghai was just sitting quietly on the sofa, not knowing what to say. He silently watched Lin Mo, wanting to know what exactly this person was going to say and do next.

The phone rang twice before it was connected, and a charming, flirtatious voice came from the other end.

"Oh my, Little Leaf, you actually have the free time to call me."

Lin Mo couldn't help but look up at Dongfang Shuye, his expression clearly reading: Are you messing with me?!
