Chapter 112 Exposed!
As she left the restaurant, Jiang Lu put her hands together in a gesture of gratitude and said with a smile, "Thank you for the hospitality!"
I'm going back to work now!
Don't forget the expert evaluation tomorrow!
Upon hearing this, Shen Mo briefly explained how he had been recommended for promotion.
The application results won't be available until noon tomorrow at the earliest.
Shen Mo will need to go to the fifth floor to collect it.
"Silver level!" Jiang Lu's eyes widened. "You're amazing..."
'
The two chatted for a few more minutes.
Jiang Lu, who was about to be late, hurriedly ran to work.
After a moment's thought, Shen Mo made a phone call to Wang Dongqi.
The phone rang for ages before it was finally answered.
Immediately following was Wang Dongqi's cold, concise voice: "Busy. The knife is fine tomorrow. Come pick it up this afternoon."
"Okay, what about the customization?"
"Still asking."
"I'd also like to customize space equipment, as well as armor, a hunting bow, a magic bullet gun, and other equipment. Does your workshop have anyone who can make them?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
A moment later, Wang Dongqi's voice rang out again: "I'll ask the teacher for you!"
"good!"
Beep beep beep—
The call was disconnected.
Shen Mo didn't mind, put away his phone and started hailing a taxi.
Yesterday's hunt earned him over five million Alliance Coins and over two hundred points.
Including the three million that the Holy Church helped launder.
Shen Mo currently has over eight million in his account!
With four magic crystals, he could commission a complete set of superior-grade equipment, then commission a space-age item, take a taxi, and return home.
"I'm back!"
Seeing Shen Mo enter, Shen Huiying looked delighted and stood up to ask, "Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
"Would you like to eat some more?" Mrs. Shen asked.
"No need..." Seeing that the whole family was there, including Shen Lang, Shen Mo's heart stirred, and he asked, "How's school going?"
Upon hearing Shen Mo's question, Shen's father and mother's faces darkened.
I've asked several schools, but none of them will accept me...
'
Shen Huiying said with a helpless expression, "Not only that, my parents and I wanted to find something to do, but when people heard that we came from the shantytown, they didn't want us either."
Shen Mo frowned upon hearing this.
Even in Dusk Valley City, there is a hierarchy of contempt.
And the shantytowns are located at the very bottom.
To outsiders, the people there are either gangsters, thieves, or prostitutes...it's full of discrimination.
"Then don't rush to find a job. Let's get used to life here first."
Shen Mo took out his phone, and after a few operations, said to Shen Huiying and her father, "I transferred 100,000 yuan to each of your cards."
Ask me for more if you need more!
As for Shen Lang's schooling... if he can't go to school, we'll pay someone to teach him first.
""
After giving his family a few instructions, Shen Mo took a shower, changed his clothes, and lay down on the bed.
A pleasant fragrance wafted over, inexplicably making Shen Mo feel at ease, and he slowly drifted off to sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Mo felt a warm, fragrant scent beside him and suddenly opened his eyes.
What catches the eye is a stretch of smooth, golden hair.
Late at night, in the twilight zone.
The middle-aged man seated at the head of the table, seeing that everyone had arrived, spoke up: "There's progress on the matter at the lab!"
"Who did this?!" one of them asked sternly, unable to contain his anger.
With a wave of his hand, the middle-aged man signaled his subordinates to distribute the information and then said, "It's not certain yet whether it's him."
However, according to reports, although he is only a Black Iron-level Witcher, he possesses strength comparable to a Gold-level Witcher who has undergone four Ascensions.
On the day of the incident, I was doing the Bronze Trial quest in the Demon Realm south of the city.
After glancing at the investigation materials, one of the men lost patience. After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he asked directly, "Since he's a suspect, why not just arrest him and interrogate him? Why go through all this trouble?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man cursed, "Idiot, can't you take a second look behind you?"
Didn't you see that it says he's a clergyman?
How do we catch it?
Who should we send to arrest him?
"You think you can just send a piece of trash like you whose brain is only filled with alcohol and breasts?!"
The man shrugged and didn't seem to care at all after being verbally abused by the middle-aged man.
"Isn't the investigation into the laboratory ordered by the Chief Executive actually orchestrated by the Holy Church?"
"Did we already screen the witchers from that day? How come we didn't notice anything wrong with this person back then?"
"He has only been a Witcher for a short time, and no one knew his true strength before."
If he hadn't applied for a special promotion today, the process wouldn't have reached us.
I doubt anyone would care about a Black Iron-level Witcher.
"In short, the family's intelligence system is just too bad."
I think this is the real reason why the lab was forced to self-destruct and why the culprit wasn't found immediately!
"What do you mean?"
"Shut up, this isn't the time to talk about this!"
The living room fell silent after the middle-aged man's reprimand.
After a moment, someone said, "It involves the Holy Church... so let's just let this matter go."
Anyway, the lab is already destroyed, and the losses are already determined.
There's no need for us to take the risk and attract the attention of the Holy See.
"Bullshit! How can we let such a huge loss go so easily?"
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
Even if you're incredibly skilled, capture this Witcher named Shenmo and tear him to pieces.
Can all the losses be recovered?
"I also think there's no need to complicate things."
The Executive Yuan is keeping an eye on us regarding the lab situation!
"Wouldn't attacking that clergyman now expose us?"
"That's right, our seats in the Senate were never secure to begin with."
"Let's be patient for a while, and deal with him later!"
"Ha, if you hide your head, will no one bother you?"
An argument broke out in the reception room.
In the overall situation, however, most people still seek stability.
After all, that's a sacred church!
Although on the surface, both the Demon Hunter Association and the Holy Church are subordinate organizations of the Divine Continent Alliance.
While others were unaware of this, they were aware of the extraordinary status of these two forces.
Their family is considered quite well-off in Mugu City.
However, to confront a behemoth like the Holy See would be somewhat presumptuous.
But at that moment, a young man who had been silently and carefully reviewed Shen Mo's documents stood up.
clap clap clap!
After clapping his hands to attract everyone's attention, the young man said with a smile, "I heard that the Guo family's agent in the shantytown was killed."
The time when Shen Mo left the shantytown was very close to that incident.
Do you think there's a possibility...?
'
As the young man finished speaking, the people arguing in the reception room gradually fell into thought.
Only the first person looked annoyed and said, "Wang Ce, can't you just say what you mean?"
You only say half of what you mean, and I feel bad listening to you even though you don't.
'
"roll!"
Before the man could finish speaking, the middle-aged man, his face flushed, yelled, "Get out of here!"
"Tch~ As if I wanted to stay here!"
After standing up and uttering a complaint, the man left the reception room amidst the middle-aged man's angry gaze.
After calming himself down, the middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Ce'er's suggestion is very good. Have someone spread the word later."
The Guo family is large and powerful, so they're perfectly positioned to be at the forefront and help us test the waters.
