After the Li family's family banquet, Qin Mo sat back on the chair, basking in the sun and continuing to absorb the sun's energy, his eyes slightly closed.

Although he stayed at home, every place in the entire Security Bureau was already reflected in his mind.

Qin Mo's gaze followed Xia Song, who had just entered the station, observing his every move.

From the perspective of the holographic vision, Xia Song is an S-level awakened person, but it is unknown which order it is.

However, Qin Mo guessed that at least he was a third-order, otherwise it would be difficult to suppress him from the level of strength.

After all, the strength he is now showing on the surface is around the third order.

After Xia Song left Qin Mo's office, he commanded the two subordinates he brought to clean up the room where Qin Mo was facing the door.

Obviously, he was further disgusting Qin Mo.

To be precise, it was to use this to disgust the forces behind Qin Mo, the Qingyang Li family.

Afterwards, Xia Song and his entourage began to wander around the Security Bureau, starting from the top floor and patrolling layer by layer.

In the name of taking office as a new deputy director and should first familiarize himself with affairs, he went around all departments, and by the way, he loudly announced his identity and status.

The vast majority of people in the bureau were taken aback.

From Xia Song's sudden arrival, they smelled something wrong.

Qin Mo didn't make any moves, he just quietly watched Xia Song meddling in the affairs of various departments strongly, and didn't choose to show up.

And so on until five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun sank in the west.

The familiar warm current surged in his body, Qin Mo retracted his gaze, focused on his eyes, and opened the superhuman gene awakening panel.

Looking at the illusory lines of small words below, he curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

Light Points: 34 (freely assignable)

As I said earlier, the weather today is very good, and the accumulated light energy points have hit a new high again.

Again, as usual, four points are assigned to each of the eight attributes to ensure balanced development.

The remaining two points, he threw away to hearing and breathing.

The huge warm current started from the chest and quickly escaped to every corner of the body, injecting scorching energy into every cell, comprehensively enhancing Qin Mo's strength.

"Breath: 157, Skill: Super Breath Enhancement."

The previous two skills, Exhalation Ice and Hurricane, were all incorporated into it after awakening Super Breath, so the current enhancement actually did not leave out those two.

A scorching warm current surged out of Qin Mo's body again, enveloping his lungs.

After about two minutes, the warm current dissipated like a tide and retreated into the unknown depths of the body.

"Hoo ......"

Qin Mo let out a long breath, and the temperature in the office suddenly dropped by three points, and on the window glass next to it, fine ice crystals actually appeared.

Seeing this, the smile on the corner of Qin Mo's mouth became more and more intense.

Powerful breathing is also an extremely important attack method for Superman, and with his current strength, he should be able to directly freeze a second-order S-class awakened person to death.

Perhaps, it is not yet known that it will be more powerful.

"You can give it a try when you have time." Qin Mo thought to himself in the bottom of his heart.

Then, he got up and tidied up his computer desk, and walked out of the office.

When he came to the first floor of the Security Bureau, Li Yuan was already waiting for him.

The two followed each other to the underground parking lot, got into her expensive sports car, and drove all the way to the Li Manor.

After about twenty minutes, the engine went out and the car slowly stopped at the gate of the manor.

"Guan Neihou, Miss, the banquet has been prepared, and the lord and the lady have been waiting for a long time." The old butler said with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Qin Mo bowed his head slightly to him, and entered the ancient castle under his leadership.

It wasn't the first time he had been here, and he was already very familiar with the layout of the Li Manor, and he didn't need to be shown the way and knew how to go.

But since it is a night banquet, the etiquette that should be there must be is a lot to do.

The upper class of society regarded this rule very seriously, as if only in this way could their noble status be demonstrated, and the huge gap between them and the common people could be seen.

This is especially true of the five millennial families.

The dinner was eaten quickly, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was also very harmonious, with laughter and laughter from time to time.

However, several people have their own agendas, and the rest of the colors are hidden in their eyes.

As soon as the banquet ended, Li Mou called Qin Mo and walked up to the study on the second floor.

In the study, the two sat opposite each other, the situation on the chessboard in front of them was complicated, and the black and white sons were entangled with each other, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

"What happened at the court meeting this morning?" Qin Mo was the first to ask.

Upon hearing this, Li Mou's brows couldn't help but furrow slightly.

He looked into Qin Mo's eyes and said slowly: "Today's deliberation was initiated by the new champion Hou Xiazu, and I haven't received any news before. ”

"Xia Zu??"

Qin Mo's expression moved, his eyes flickered, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Li Mou nodded and continued: "Yesterday, the Gaoling Xia clan swaggered through the city and entered the imperial capital, and today he dared to attack the Li clan, such a fast speed of action is really beyond my expectations. ”

"If you look at it this way, then the new Xia Song from the Security Bureau today is the final result of the discussion?" Qin Mo asked.

"Well, that's right."

Li Mou nodded again, confirming that Qin Mo's conjecture was correct.

Seeing this, Qin Mo casually picked up a white seed and landed in the middle of a pile of sunspots, and at the same time asked in surprise:

"Hey, I said brother, the Security Bureau is the back garden of the Qingyang Li family, so you can let Xia Zu insert a nail in?"

"Things are not as simple as you think, Xia Song's nail is the result of the final compromise as a last resort."

Li Mou stared closely at the white piece that Qin Mo had just fallen, and explained:

"Xia Zu's move today is just the beginning, what he is doing is to build momentum for the Xia family, and constantly enhance the Xia family's voice and influence by controlling important positions.

I can see it, and the other four people can see it too.

The Xia family wants to be promoted to the top family, which is challenging the transcendent status of the five families, so everyone in the five is not happy.

However, the thousand-year-old family has been standing in Great Qin for too long, and the comfortable days are gradually getting longer, and arrogance has been deeply rooted in the bones.

Rao is now, and the other four families still don't take the Gaoling Xia clan in their eyes, and will only sneer at it. ”

At this point, Li Mou sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly.

Although he is also a member of the five major families, his evaluation is very pertinent and to the point.

The arrogance of the five great families, Xia Zu also said to the Xia family, and he took advantage of this.

Now, Li Mou has said the same thing.

Although his strength is not top-notch, he is only a first-order awakener, but since he can be the head of the Li family, it is naturally impossible for him to be an ordinary person.

What the right person said is enough to see this.

Qin Mo fell into silence and didn't speak again for a while.

His current intelligence is as high as 157, and his super brain has been strengthened many times, and he has understood the meaning of Li Mou's words in an instant.

You must know that although the five thousand-year-old families stand at the peak of Great Qin and monopolize the position of the Duke of State, they are not monolithic.

So, it's a very simple multiple-choice question.

Do you want to suppress the Gaoling Xia clan together, or borrow a knife to kill people and take the opportunity to deal with the Qingyang Li clan?

The answer is that there is no need to say more, it is already clear and clear.

Anyway, in their eyes, Xia is like an ant crawling on the ground, which can be trampled to death casually.

And Li Mou's next words just confirmed Qin Mo's idea.

I only heard him continue: "Other thousand-year-old families are fueling the trouble, Your Majesty's attitude is subtle, and Xia Zu made trouble in the imperial capital some time ago, and the Security Bureau was ineffective in handling affairs, so I can only choose to compromise and have no other way."

Moreover, Lee's luck was not very good. ”

Well??

"Bad luck? How so? Qin Mo raised his head and asked suspiciously.

Li Mou spread his hands and said depressedly: "Do you remember the camellia tavern?" Two S-class awakened people died there inexplicably last night, and the Security Bureau didn't even have the slightest clue about the killers.

I wanted to defend myself, but suddenly there was such a thing, and the hat of ineffective work was completely locked on my head. ”

Qin Mo: "......"

His body stiffened for a moment, twitched the corners of his mouth, and was speechless for a moment.

This is really the bad luck of the Li family, after all, who would have thought that it would be so coincidental?

Li Mou didn't notice his abnormality, but just raised his head and asked: "Anyway, your kid's investigation methods are very clever, and even the elders are full of praise, what happened last night ......."

Suddenly, Li Mou's voice stopped abruptly.

Something suddenly occurred in his heart, and a little suspicious look appeared in his eyes when he looked at Qin Mo.

"You can't kill people, do you?!" Li Mou said in shock.

"Ahem, it should ...... Not me? ”

Li Mou: "......"

No need to ask.

He knew Qin Mo too well, just by looking at Qin Mo's current reaction, Li Mou already knew the answer to the matter.

I have to say, this is indeed a big surprise.

The atmosphere in the study suddenly became strange, and the silence was mixed with a thick embarrassment.

Qin Mo's eyes flickered, he coughed lightly again, and said:

"Ahem, brother, you can't blame me for this, and I must have killed this person......"

Subsequently, he explained to Li Mou what happened in the tavern last night, as well as his relevant speculations.

After listening to this, Li Mou's mental state was no longer good.

He looked at the chessboard in front of him in a daze, his eyes blank.

This person, Qin Mo did not kill the slightest mistake, Li Mou can come out.

But the problem is that this is too much of a coincidence.

However, even if there is no such thing, Xia Zu's side will find other breakthroughs to attack the Qingyang Li family.

There is no doubt about it.

Now it's just that Huang Ye and Kong Ying's death are just using the topic to play.

The two of them didn't do anything when they were alive, but after they died, they squeezed out some uses, which can be regarded as making the best use of things.

Thinking like this, Li Mou quickly adjusted his mentality.

He frowned slightly, looked up at Qin Mo, and said slowly: "Recently, you have to be patient first, and in a few days I will find an excuse to kick Xia Song out."

No matter what the Security Bureau says, it is also the Security Bureau of the Li family, since he Xia Zu likes to intervene so much, I have to weigh it carefully, whether his legs are hard enough! ”

Li Mou's eyes flickered, and his body was quietly filled with a mighty dragon might.

No matter how arrogant the five families are, they are also standing at the peak of the Great Qin Empire, the top of the food chain.

They have never been vegetarians.

"Then it depends on your arrangement, brother." Qin Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, he didn't have any opinions.

At this point, the information that should be reported is complete, and the study agent is officially over.

Afterwards, Qin Mo was ready to say goodbye and leave.

But who would have thought that Li Mou would have to pull him to take advantage of this time to play a few more games.

Qin Mo couldn't resist him, so he had no choice but to agree, and finally had to stay in the study for more than an hour, abusing him for four whole rounds.

By the time he left the Li manor, Li Mou's face had turned black to the bottom of the pot, and he was becoming more and more depressed.

"Qin Mo, this kid, is a genius in the sky."

Looking at Qin Mo's back gradually disappearing into the night, Li Mou muttered softly.

Hearing this, the corners of the Duchess of Guo's mouth, who were standing beside him, curled slightly, and said with a smile: "Since you are a genius, why don't you completely pull it into our Li family?" ”

"Oh? Does Madame mean ......" Li Mou's expression moved.

"Don't put it here and pretend to be confused, what do I mean, you don't know?"

The Duchess gave him a dignified look, then turned and walked back to the castle, and did not continue to mention the matter.

She was an insightful and measured woman.

Li Mou chose to pretend to be stupid at this time, which was obviously a rejection of her proposal.

In that case, of course she wouldn't say anything more.

Pingbai got a white eye, and the smile on Li Mou's face became more and more intense.

With his hands behind his back, he stared straight ahead, staring at the deep night, and thinking about it in his heart.

Of course, he knew what Mrs. Shicai's proposal meant.

If you want to completely win Qin Mo into the Li family, there is only one way, and that is to use the method of in-law and let Qin Mo be your son-in-law.

It has to be said that this offer is extremely tempting.

With Qin Mo's amazing talent like the ancient and the present, if Li Yuan marries him, he will inevitably have a very good life in the future.

Moreover, the current position of the Qingyang Li clan will also be completely consolidated, and it may even go further.

This is a double benefit, and Li Mou will definitely not lose.

But he rejected the offer without thinking, and it is as it is now, and it will be so in the future.

Li Mou never forgot what he said.

He had told Li Yuan more than once that he would never use her as a tool for exchanging interests, and he would give Li Yuan the greatest freedom.

At this moment, regardless of other identities, Li Mou is just fulfilling his promise as a father.

Of course, with his understanding of Qin Mo, Qin Mo basically wouldn't think about having a more intimate relationship with Li Yuan now.

What's more, with Li Yuan's current strength, she is not worthy of Qin Mo.

The gap between the two is simply too big.

"Hey......"

Li Mou's eyes narrowed slightly, and his pupils were black and white.

He sighed softly, then turned and walked back to the castle, leaving only a murmur to the lonely evening breeze.

"It's good now."

……

……

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

At this time, Qin Mo, who had left the Li family's manor, did not know all this.

When he got home, it was almost nine o'clock.

Qin Mo habitually took off his clothes, turned into the bathroom, and turned on the shower.

After taking a cold shower, he went into the living room with a towel, snuggled up on the sofa, and browsed the border information for a while.

Then waited until more than ten o'clock, Qin Mo climbed into bed on time and fell asleep.

And so on, all night without a word.

The next day, Qin Mo opened his eyes before sunrise as usual.

Thanks to his strong physique, his biological clock is now completely self-controlled, and he can wake up whenever he wants.

Even, even if he didn't sleep, it was completely fine, and the recovery of up to 156 points was enough to make Qin Mo have abundant energy and inexhaustible physical strength at all times.

He made his own breakfast at home and then ran his way to the Security Bureau.

When Qin Mo took the elevator up to the top floor, Xia Song, the new deputy director who arrived yesterday, was already sitting in his office early.

His room was not closed, and it was facing Qin Mo's office.

Therefore, when Qin Mo pushed the door in, Xia Song directly saw all his movements, only to see him smile and say:

"Deputy Director Qin, good morning."

Hearing this ill-intentioned greeting, Qin Mo turned his head to look at him, and then a harmless smile appeared on his face.

"Deputy Director Xia, I was originally very good, but just now, it suddenly became bad." He said.

As soon as the words fell, Qin Mo went straight inside and slammed the door.

Seeing that he didn't give himself any face, and didn't give the Gaoling Xia clan any face, Xia Song was not angry because of this, and didn't seem to care.

However, Qin Mo, who was watching him from the wall, was keenly observed, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth pressed down by three points.

At the same time, the corners of Qin Mo's mouth rose more and more.

……

……

Time flashed by, and soon it was five hours later.

Security Service top floor, 2 p.m.

A hurried phone call suddenly rang in Qin Mo's office, breaking the silence.

Qin Mo Shi Ran sat up from the chair placed next to the floor-to-ceiling window, picked up the mobile phone on the desk casually, and raised his eyes to take a look.

What was displayed on the mobile phone screen was Li Mou's phone number.

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Qin Mo's heart, and there was a slight surprise between his eyebrows.

You know, the two just met last night and exchanged a wave of news.

Now that the time is still less than a day, Li Mou called again, which is obviously a matter of great importance.

Thinking like this in his heart, he pressed the connect button in his hand at the same time and put the phone to his ear.

Li Mou's voice sounded immediately, solemn!

"The Elders' investigation into the identity of the Grimace Mask has already resulted, you should come to the manor now, and I will talk to you face to face."

is a simple sentence, but it reveals a lot of important information.

Needless to say, the grimace mask was the Xia Lin that Qin Mo killed in Taishan.

Now that his true identity has been discovered, it means that the forces behind Taishan are about to surface, and the mysterious boss and chief manager hidden in the deep water are also likely to surface!

Qin Mo's body was immediately stunned, his eyes flashed with essence, and his heart was hot.

The pitch-black veil that shrouded his eyes seemed to have slowly lifted a corner of the veil.

Qin Mo did not hesitate at all, and immediately replied in a deep voice:

"Okay, I'll be right there."

The voice landed, the phone hung up, and a cold beep sounded.

Qin Mo put his phone in his pocket, stood up from the recliner straight up, and walked towards the outside of the office.

He first went to the next door to find his personal secretary Su Yin, and told her that if there was an urgent matter on the side of the Security Bureau, call him, and he would leave for a while.

If this arrangement had been made before yesterday, it would not have happened at all.

Qin Mo can leave if he wants to, he is very free, even if there is a big incident in the Security Bureau, Li Mo and they will handle it properly.

But now it is different, there is one more deputy director Xia Song, which means that there will be one more voice different from Li Mo.

And this voice is very heavy.

Therefore, Qin Mo chose to give an order before going out.

Then, he walked briskly towards the outside of the Security Service building.

Unexpectedly, Qin Mo had just walked to the elevator entrance when he bumped into Xia Song head-on.

He seems to have been staying here for a long time, waiting for Qin Mo.

"I don't know Deputy Director Qin, where are you going?" Xia Song stood in front of the elevator, put his hands behind his back, and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Qin Mo suddenly narrowed his eyes, revealing a very dangerous look.

He didn't answer and asked, "I don't know Deputy Director Xia, where is this going?" ”

"Hehe, I'm not going anywhere, so I'm going to stay in the office all the time today to deal with all kinds of complicated affairs that have accumulated in the bureau in the past few years.

After all, the Security Bureau is responsible for the security management of the imperial capital, and at best, it is His Majesty's safety, which is the top priority.

If something goes wrong, you and I can't afford it, so I have to work hard. ”

Xia Song replied slowly, and then he glanced at Qin Mo up and down.

"Hey, I look at Deputy Director Qin's appearance, it seems that he is going out? Right now...... It doesn't seem like it's time to get off work, right? ”

When the words landed, he didn't wait for Qin Mo to answer, he just made a look of sudden realization to himself, and let out a long oh.

Then, Xia Song looked strange and asked with a smile:

"Could it be that Deputy Director Qin is preparing to leave his post without permission?"

In the middle of a few words, he put a big hat on Qin Mo's head, wanting to hold him accountable for leaving his post without permission.

Qin Mo tasted the sinister thoughts in him when he spoke.

Xia Song's guy is obviously deliberately disgusting him!

Qin Mo's narrowed eyes became more and more dangerous, he was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"Deputy Director Xia, you're staring at me very closely."

"Eh, misunderstanding, this is really a misunderstanding, I just happened to meet Deputy Director Qin."

Xia Song said calmly, the smile between his eyebrows and eyes became more and more intense, almost condensed into substance.

"Coincidentally? Oh, it's a bit of a coincidence. ”

Qin Mo sneered unhurriedly, and then said: "Deputy Director Xia, you have to be careful when you go out in the future, but don't be unlucky one day, fall flat and drown yourself in a puddle, then it's going to be a joke." ”

Before the words could land, he crossed Xia Song and walked straight towards the elevator.

Hearing this, Xia Song's body stiffened, and the expression on his face was very exciting.

He turned sideways, stared at Qin Mo deadly, and asked loudly:

"Deputy Director Qin, do you really want to leave your post without permission?"

Hearing this, Qin Mo suddenly stopped.

He turned around slowly, raised his head slightly, and looked at Xia Song with an indifferent expression.

"What? Do I need to inform you Xia Song when I go for a cup of tea?

Deputy Director Xia, don't forget that you and I are just equals, and besides, what can you do if I leave my post without permission?

Do you want to sue me up there? Then please Deputy Director Xia to take care of himself.

When I got in front of Li Guogong, the director of the Security Bureau, I also hoped that Deputy Director Xia could tell Li Guogong how I left my post without permission. ”

Qin Mo deliberately bit the syllables on top of the words Director Li Guogong.

The meaning is self-evident.

At this time, the smile on Xia Song's face had disappeared without a trace, and several black lines gradually climbed on his forehead.

He wanted to say something more, but he was already speechless by Qin Mo, and his heart was numb for a while.

Seeing this, Qin Mo sneered extremely sarcastically.

"Huh!"

He walked straight away.

As for Xia Song, who was in place, it was as if he had been immobilized.

If it weren't for the fact that his breathing became heavier by three points, and he slowly clenched the five fingers hidden in his sleeve, he would have thought ...... I'm.

……

……

What happened at the elevator entrance was nothing more than a trivial episode.

The moment Qin Mo walked out of the Security Bureau building, he suddenly burst out with terrifying speed, soared into the sky, and flew towards the Li family's manor.

In less than ten seconds, he had already appeared in the study on the second floor of the ancient castle and saw Li Mou.

Li Mou didn't greet him too much, and directly picked up a freshly printed document on the desk and handed it over.

The things on the document are all the information that Qingyang Li has investigated against Xia Lin during this time.

Qin Mo received it in his hand and glanced down at it.

However, just one glance, his originally calm face suddenly changed violently, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed:

"Xia Lin?!"

Black and white, clear, clear.

Who would have thought that the owner of the grimace mask would be surnamed Xia!

Where in the world is there such a coincidence?

In addition to the summer of the Gaoling Xia clan, which summer can this summer be?!

Qin Mo was really shocked.

Just a surname has already conveyed a huge amount of complex information.

Thinking of the various events that had happened in the previous months, a huge spider web gradually formed in his mind.

And the thing that connects these spider silk in the center is a huge summer character!

Qin Mo's expression was solemn, his eyes flickered rapidly, and he carefully looked down at the more information about Xia Lin's identity on the document.

Seeing his reaction like this, Li Mou didn't feel strange.

Because when he first learned about this from the Council of Elders, he was acting like this, even more exaggerated than Qin Mo.

This truth is indeed very surprising.

"That's right, this person named Xia Lin is indeed a person from the Gaoling Xia clan, and he is also one of the core members.

Although Xia Lin on the surface had already died of a sudden illness thirty years ago, it was basically impossible to completely erase the traces of a person in this world.

Even if he is disfigured and puts on a grimace mask, his body shape cannot be changed, his blood cannot be changed, and the genes buried in his bones cannot be changed. ”

Li Mou looked at Qin Mo and said slowly.

Hearing this, Qin Mo raised his head, and his expression had returned to calm.

Just as Li Mou said these two sentences, he had already read all the known information about Xia Lin, and casually threw the folder on the desk on the side.

"Doesn't that mean that the Qingyun vein inside Taishan is being mined by the Gaoling Xia clan?" Qin Mo frowned slightly.

"Hmm."

Li Mou nodded and said, "It is precisely because of the study of the Qingyun Mine you brought back that the Elders' Council has forcibly tapped the genetic potential to exchange for strength, and it is thought of the Gaoling Xia Clan, which has suddenly risen in the past hundred years.

Since then, most of the intelligence forces have been assigned to the Xia family, which can lead to such a quick investigation. ”

In short, if this matter is about meritorious deeds, Qin Mo should account for ninety percent.

After all, the key clue was learned from the Qingyun Mine, and all the Qingyun Mines of the Qingyang Li Clan were all brought back by Qin Mo.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he accounts for ninety percent of the credit.

Qin Mo's super brain was running rapidly, integrating all kinds of information, only to hear him continue:

"The forces behind the Heaven and Earth Society are the forces entrenched in the Taishan mineral veins, and now that Xia Lin's identity has been confirmed, then the family power behind the Heaven and Earth Society must be the Gaoling Xia Clan.

Then, everything can be explained.

Brother, it seems that Xia Zu was the first to target the Li family in the court yesterday, and he had already planned it. ”

All the truth, at this moment, was all revealed in front of Qin Mo's eyes.

The veil that covered his eyes had been completely lifted by him.

Heaven and Earth Society, Champion Hou, Taishan Vein......

This pile, the mastermind behind each piece, is the Gaoling Xia clan!

It turned out that the beam between Qin Mo and Xia Zu had been concluded as early as the beginning.

Holidays with each other...... It's far from being as simple as taking the position of a marquis.

The big chapter of nearly 8,000 words, tonight is gone, it has been hollowed out, I will continue to explode tomorrow, and it will only get more and more day by day.

In addition, to put it simply, the plot has entered a critical juncture here, and what I'm going to write next is just thinking about it myself, and I'm going to have an intracranial orgasm, I like it very much, and I hope everyone can like it too.

All in all, I'll write quickly, everyone read slowly, and if you have a recommended ticket on hand, you can also vote.

(End of chapter)
