AWAKENING THE DAILY INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM

Chapter 538: 209, are you sure you want to threaten me with my family?_1

Lin Mo was dissatisfied with the three new interrogators because he still thought the higher-ups would send some real heavyweights his way.

If it were those people, he would have had a better chance of negotiating his terms.

After all, whether it was handing over secret intelligence from various countries or their top-tier technological products, it was definitely a matter of negotiation under the right conditions.

If the rank wasn’t high enough, there was simply no way to negotiate effectively.

The three people at the door were not too pleased with Lin Mo either because they had thought Lin Mo was such a difficult character to deal with, but from his first reaction, he didn’t seem as tough as they had anticipated.

On the contrary, he seemed very communicative.

…

As interrogation experts who had seen countless criminals, they could often tell a great deal just from the first glance.

Bai Feng had already learned the identities of the three through his earpiece, and he quickly stood up, yielding the chief interrogator’s seat in the interrogation room, and stood aside, waiting for them to enter.

Although he held the position of Rakshasa Police Station chief, which made him somewhat of a figure, Bai Feng was clear about one thing: to the three people in front of him, he was nothing significant, merely a minor character.

After he took a seat to one side, the three interrogators naturally took their places right across from Lin Mo.

Several pairs of eyes simultaneously fixed on Lin Mo, none of them uttering any superfluous sound.

The atmosphere in the cramped interrogation room became exceptionally tense, and it was Bai Feng who took the initiative to break the silence, explaining, “Lin Mo, standing in front of you are three individuals from…”

He intended to briefly introduce the three interrogators, but the eldest among them waved his hand and said, “No need for the trouble. Just step out, and we’ll call you if we need you.”

Bai Feng had no choice but to nod, turn around, and walk out of the interrogation room, thoughtfully closing the door behind him as he left.

Once he was gone, the eldest interrogator introduced himself, “Hello, Lin Mo, my name is Song Jingnan, and if you wish, you can call me Song. I’m not here this time to…”

Song Jingnan spoke with skill, not assuming the posture of an interrogator but rather introducing himself to Lin Mo as if they were old friends sitting at a dinner table.

This was clearly his interrogation style.

If it were any other detainee, perhaps they would be moved by such an approach and even voluntarily confess some incriminating evidence against themselves.

Unfortunately, Lin Mo, who had been through so much, was anything but a simple character.

Over the years, he had met too many heavyweights with various personalities and working styles.

And it was partly because of these encounters that Lin Mo had formed his own style of doing things and his own logic.

Although he sat in the interrogation chair, his arms and legs were not bound, and he could move freely.

Beside his interrogation table, there was also a bottle of hot water that Bai Feng had brought earlier.

After half a day of questioning, the boiled water had cooled to a comfortable temperature.

Lin Mo picked up the cup and took a sip, then he set the cup down again and interrupted Song Jingnan’s introduction with a nonchalant tone, “Alright, there’s no need for any more introductions.”

“I’ve already said that the things I’m going to talk about next involve a lot of top-secret information.”

“Bai Feng’s rank is not high enough, and neither is yours.”

“Send someone else.”

He didn’t want the endless interrogations to drag on; the sooner he could resolve these major issues, the sooner Lin Mo could reunite with his family.

Moreover, he could tell that even if he repeated the recent events to the three individuals before him, they wouldn’t be able to make any decisions. Eventually, they would have to consult someone of a higher rank.

It wasn’t worth it.

…..

Imperial Capital, outskirts.

Inside a nondescript manor.

The meeting of the heavyweights was still ongoing, and with time’s passage, some simple meals and beverages had been placed on the table.

These arrangements were all made by the National Elder.

It was apparent to everyone that if there was no outcome to the interrogation today, then no one would leave this place.

Even though they were individuals who dealt with myriad affairs every day, and some had urgent business to attend to right away, none dared to express the desire to leave to the National Elder.

On this land of Grand Xia, the National Elder was the true heavyweight.

“Heh.”

An elder issued a dissatisfied chuckle, taking things lightly and commented, “How interesting, this Lin Mo truly has quite an attitude.”

“He won’t talk to others, does he really intend to negotiate directly with us?”

“I admit he’s capable, but surely, he doesn’t believe that with the leverage he holds, he can negotiate with us?”

“Such a frog in a well, daydreaming too much.”

What he said was what was on his mind, and it was the prevailing sentiment amongst most people in the room.

What a joke!

For Lin Mo to have even caught their attention was his great fortune; wanting to interact directly with them was simply too fanciful.

There’s an appropriate way to treat each rank. As a superpower nation, maintaining face and posture is paramount.

Otherwise, if everyone wanted to negotiate directly with them, would they even have time to attend to other matters?

A buzz of agreement rose, though most were mocking Lin Mo’s ignorance and arrogance; some even felt there was nothing further to discuss, suggesting they could simply take Lin Mo away for sentencing according to legal proceedings.
