Old pal Do you want a wife or not

Back at the spatial passage entrance.

On the ground, the guards who had been knocked out by Situ Ding'er earlier slowly woke up. They rubbed their sore necks, looking completely bewildered.

"What happened?"

"My head is spinning. I remember Situ Ding'er doing something to us..."

Before they could figure out the situation, the spatial passage in front of them suddenly rippled like a water surface struck by a stone, spreading out invisible concentric waves.

The next second, several figures walked out of it.

Leading the group was Lin Mo. Behind him followed Situ Dingyi and Situ Ding'er, who were carefully supporting their young miss.

The gazes of the newly awakened guards and the group that just walked out met in mid-air.

Dead silence.

The air froze for a full three seconds.

Suddenly, one of the guards, reacting extremely fast, stiffened his body without a word and flopped face-down onto the ground, playing dead.

"W-we didn't see anything."

His movements were crisp and decisive, even kicking up a small puff of dust.

Seeing this, the others acted as if they had received some brilliant order and immediately followed suit.

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

In the blink of an eye, a neat row of corpses lay perfectly aligned on the ground.

Lin Mo's eyelid twitched at the sight. He turned his head to look at Situ Dingyi beside him and teased, "The people of your Situ family are all talents, indeed a wise man."

With such acting skills, it's a pity they didn't go to a movie set.

Supporting his young miss, Situ Dingyi's face twitched violently, but he didn't dare utter a single word in rebuttal.

His little life was still in this person's hands; how could he dare to speak out of turn?

Lin Mo couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to these clowns. His gaze fell upon the numb-looking Situ Ding'er on the side.

He snapped his fingers.

Situ Ding'er trembled violently. The hollowness and sluggishness in his eyes quickly faded away, replaced by clarity, followed immediately by terror and confusion.

Everything that had happened while he was under control flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.

But toward Lin Mo, he no longer had any thoughts of resistance.

Moreover, he knew very well that regardless of whether those actions were his true intentions, he could never return to the Situ family.

So what should he do next?

Lin Mo directly took out his phone and dialed the Old Geezer's number.

The night was already late.

The lights in Jiang Chengshan's study were still on. He looked at the name Lin Mo flashing on his phone screen, his brows furrowing tightly into a knot.

This brat calling in the middle of the night definitely meant nothing good.

After a moment of hesitation, he still swiped to answer.

After all, Lin Mo wouldn't call him for no reason.

"Hello." His voice revealed a trace of annoyance, which was already the best attitude he could muster.

On the other end of the line, Lin Mo's cheerful voice immediately came through.

"Hey! Old Geezer! Do you want a wife or not? If you want one, I can have someone deliver her to you right now."

Jiang Chengshan was completely baffled, and his temper instantly flared up.

"Are you out of your mind? Calling me this late just to spout such nonsense?!"

Very good, remember your current attitude.

Lin Mo chuckled inwardly, but outwardly he let out a mockingly regretful sigh.

"Is that so? Never mind then. I just picked up a beautiful young woman named Situ Yunshu on the road. She's gorgeous, just looks quite pitiful and homeless.

I see you're an old bachelor and Yunlu is also missing a mother. I originally wanted to do a good deed and send her over to you, but since you don't want her..."

The name Situ Yunshu exploded in Jiang Chengshan's mind like a sudden clap of thunder.

With a buzzing sound, his entire world went quiet. His heart felt as if it were gripped by an invisible giant hand, instantly stopping its beat.

He didn't hear a single word of what Lin Mo said next.

By the time he recovered from that extreme shock, he practically roared into the phone.

"What did you say?! What is her name?! Say it again!"

"Situ Yunshu, what's wrong?"

Lin Mo's voice remained unhurried. "If you don't want her, I'll just give her to someone else. I can see the kid next to me looking at her with a rather inappropriate gaze."

"I want her!"

Jiang Chengshan's voice was completely distorted from excitement. He abruptly stood up from his chair, completely oblivious to knocking over the water cup beside him.

"I'll give you my address... No! Stay right where you are! I'm coming over personally! Tell me your address! The address!"

From his previous irritable impatience to his current frenzied excitement, only a dozen seconds had passed.

Lin Mo hung up the phone, a playful smile appearing on his face.

From his earlier helplessness to his current excitement and frenzy.

It seemed the Old Geezer's feelings for his wife were deeper than imagined.

He just didn't know if this reunited couple would immediately put on a family melodrama later.

After all, in Situ Yunshu's eyes, the current Jiang Chengshan was probably an absolute bad guy.

Lin Mo put away his phone and then looked at Situ Dingyi and Situ Ding'er.

"You two probably can't return to the Situ family either. Situ Dingyi, from now on, you will follow your young miss. She certainly won't treat you poorly."

Hearing this, Situ Dingyi took a deep breath and could only nod silently.

However, the next second, he sensed something was amiss.

"Wait, then what about Ding'er..."

He turned his head to look at Situ Ding'er, only to see that Situ Ding'er's face was slightly pale.

Lin Mo looked at Situ Ding'er, then let out a light chuckle.

"Him? He doesn't have the fate to meet a peaceful end."

As he spoke, Situ Ding'er had already knelt down with lifeless eyes.

"I..."

Lin Mo's finger made a hooking motion in the air, and a faint, barely discernible wisp of light was forcefully ripped out from the center of Situ Ding'er's forehead.

The wisp of light struggled futilely at his fingertips for a moment before being completely suppressed in his palm.

With a thud, Situ Ding'er's body fell straight backward, crashing onto the floor with a dull sound, completely devoid of life.

Behind him, Ning Qingcheng couldn't help but ask, "What... what did he do?! Why did you have to kill him?"

Lin Mo's tone was indifferent. He examined Situ Ding'er's soul and calmly replied, "Because Situ Ding'er is the Great Elder's man. In order to deal with Aunt Qiong, he was the one who struck to kill."

In an instant, Situ Dingyi realized the truth.

No wonder this guy had been acting a bit off all along.

No wonder he struck so heavily.

His original plan was merely to injure Situ Qiong, not to severely wound her, yet the result was Situ Qiong ending up in the ICU.

If it weren't for Lin Mo, Situ Qiong might actually have died already.

Earlier on, Lin Mo had only felt that something was amiss, and he was a bit puzzled when he heard that both of them had been saved and brought back by Situ Yunshu.

If that was the case, why would they strike Situ Qiong so ruthlessly?

Then, when he searched the Great Elder's soul, he discovered that Situ Ding'er had always been the Great Elder's subordinate.

With this, everything made perfect sense.

Lin Mo's dusty memories were triggered once again.

Thinking about it carefully, after graduation, Jiang Yunlu really seemed to have disappeared from his world completely.

She was probably taken back.

Lin Mo was also unsure if this was the butterfly effect caused by his own presence.

But at least until graduation, Jiang Yunlu would remain at Guangba.
