102: Chapter 102 Close-Range Ultimate Attack

With this matter concluded, the group finally emerged from the West Asia Great Forest.

Looking ahead, the outskirts of the forest were now surrounded by Uncle Hats and Special Forces Soldiers, though no one knew when they had arrived.

Qin Mo was startled by the sight.

Then, looking at Officer Li with a moved expression, he said, "Officer Li, you guys actually went through all this trouble just to save me?"

Hearing this, Li Ming said irritably, "You're overthinking it. These people aren't here to save you. Besides, I don't have the authority to command so many people."

"Uh..."

The expression on Qin Mo's face froze instantly.

How freaking awkward...

"Weiwei!"

Just then, an urgent voice rang out.

A middle-aged man in a suit ran toward Vivian, drenched in sweat.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Vivian burst into loud sobs.

"Wuwu~"

"Daddy! I thought I'd never see you again!"

The middle-aged man comforted her while wiping away her tears, "It's okay now. You've suffered, Weiwei!"

"It's all Daddy's fault. If I hadn't been so negligent in my work, there wouldn't be so many terrorists in the country. It's my fault!"

"Wuwu~ Daddy, it's not your fault. It's all those bad people's fault!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Weiwei is right. It's all the bad people's fault. Daddy will start a crackdown as soon as I get back and wipe out all the vermin in the country!"

"Oh, Weiwei, you've lost weight! Come on, let's go home. Daddy will take you to a restaurant for a good meal to make up for it."

"Daddy, did you forget something?"

Hearing this, the man looked at Vivian with some confusion.

"Weiwei, what did Daddy forget?"

"Daddy, you forgot to thank someone!"

As she spoke, Vivian pointed at Qin Mo.

Only then did the man notice Qin Mo, who had been standing there like a ghost, and he rubbed his head in embarrassment.

He had watched Qin Mo's entire livestream; it was incredibly dangerous. That Qin Mo could turn danger into safety through his own judgment and ability—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he escaped from the jaws of death, and he even brought his daughter along.

He had been so focused on his daughter just now that he actually ignored her savior. By any standard, this was quite poor social conduct.

Thinking this, the man looked at Qin Mo awkwardly. "Thank you so much, young man. I was in such a hurry that I forgot about you. I'm truly ashamed!"

Qin Mo looked at the man with a forced smile. "The Mayor is joking. It was my duty, and besides, it was just a small effort."

At these words, a smile appeared on the man's face. "You're right, young man! Talents like you, pillars of the nation, are far too rare these days."

"And those who don't ask for anything in return are even rarer! Young man, you are truly a role model for the youth of our Dragon Kingdom!"

Hearing this, Qin Mo's heart sank.

What do you mean? I was just being polite. Are you not planning to give me the 100 million reward???

No way! I have to get it back!

"*Cough, cough...*"

Qin Mo quickly coughed twice to interrupt the man, then said with a fawning expression, "Thank you for the praise, Mayor, but there's something you don't know..."

"Oh? Is something bothering you? Tell me about it."

Upon hearing this, Qin Mo immediately clutched his stomach and put on a pained expression. "Mayor, you don't know! I grew up in an orphanage. Maybe it's because I didn't know how to take care of myself when I was little, or maybe it's congenital, but I ended up with a rare heart disease."

"I know this is a test from the heavens. For this, I have traveled across the country seeking medical advice, and finally! I found a doctor who can treat my heart disease."

"However, faced with the exorbitant surgery fees, I had no choice but to work hard day and night. Finally!"

"Finally what?"

The Mayor looked at Qin Mo with a choked-up expression. What a tragic life story!

Truly, the rope only breaks at the thinnest point, and misfortune only finds the wretched.

Not just the Mayor, but everyone around was moved by Qin Mo's life story. Some were even silently shedding tears, already considering how much they should donate to him later. What a poor child!

Qin Mo scanned the crowd and paused. "Finally! I'm only short of the last 100 million to gather the surgery fees!"

How... how much? Everyone was stunned by these words...

What the hell! What kind of surgery costs 100 million!

"Um..."

Just then, Vivian raised her hand and interrupted.

Everyone instinctively looked toward the sound.

Vivian pointed at Qin Mo cautiously. "Um... Qin Mo, didn't you say you have heart disease? Why are you clutching your stomach?"

At this, everyone looked at Qin Mo in confusion again.

Qin Mo was momentarily stunned.

"Oh! Sorry, I clutched the wrong spot!"

As he spoke, under everyone's watchful eyes, he moved his hand from his stomach to his chest and put on another pained expression.

...

At this moment, the entire place was silent as everyone stared in disbelief.

The Mayor's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot...

What the hell, are you two performing a double act? I can't believe I was moved to tears by you just now. If you want the reward, just say so! Why the hell did you have to go in such a huge circle and trick me out of my tears.

Thinking this, the Mayor turned to the man beside him and shouted authoritatively, "Secretary Wang, what's wrong with you? How could you forget such an important matter? Do I have to remind you to bring out the bounty?"

"This..."

At this point, Secretary Wang felt so wronged he was about to cry.

You were the one who didn't want to give it, and now that he's chasing you for it, you're taking it out on me. Isn't this just a classic case of venting your anger on the wrong person?

Despite feeling incredibly wronged, Secretary Wang took a bank card out of his pocket and handed it to Qin Mo.

Hehe! Got it!

Qin Mo took the bank card with a grin, and even his "heart disease" was miraculously cured...

The Mayor looked at Qin Mo through gritted teeth, his face twitching with the pain of the loss.

You said you didn't want anything in return, and I actually freaking believed you...

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. The Mayor pulled Vivian toward the car, not even wanting to say goodbye to Qin Mo.

"Qin Mo! Remember to come to Sea City to visit me! I'll treat you to dinner."

As she walked away, Vivian waved at Qin Mo.

Qin Mo watched them with a smile.

"Take care, Mr. Mayor!"

"Mayor, stay safe!"

"Mayor, come over for a meal when you have time!"

"Wait! Not that one, don't come for a meal!"

At these words, the Mayor stumbled and almost fell...

All the way to the car, the Mayor's face remained dark.

Then, he looked at Vivian with a serious expression.

"Weiwei! Stay away from people like that in the future. He's no good!"

Vivian was speechless upon hearing this.

Great... it looks like her father has a grudge against Qin Mo now...

...

Meanwhile, Li Ming and the others looked at Qin Mo as if he were a monster, with some even giving him a thumbs up.
