156: Chapter 156 Showing Off Acting Skills

"Ahhh!" Immediately after, another scream rang out.

Zhang Gang collapsed onto the ground, clutching his thigh and groaning in pain.

Several New Recruits immediately stepped back, expressions of terror appearing on their faces.

At this moment, Qin Mo's expression was terrifyingly dark, and he secretly marked the man who had fired the shot.

He cursed inwardly.

Are you stupid or just pretending? Can't you tell I'm acting? Do you really think I've betrayed the country and defected to the enemy?

Think about it, if my background were truly unclear, would the Navy have accepted me? Damn it, isn't everyone's family history checked back three generations before joining the military? If I were really their accomplice, could I have joined the military?

Thinking of this, Qin Mo was speechless...

The man who fired the gun said viciously, "How dare you insult the little brother we just recruited? Are you tired of living?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man pressed his gun directly against Zhang Gang's forehead, ready to send him to his death.

"Wait!" At the critical moment, Qin Mo stepped out and shouted.

Upon hearing this, several men immediately frowned and looked at Qin Mo.

"What do you mean? Do you want to save him?" the man with the gun stared at Qin Mo and said coldly.

"How is that possible!" Qin Mo feigned an angry expression and pointed at Zhang Gang, "This kid just insulted me. If I let him die so easily, wouldn't that be letting him off too lightly?"

"I already had a deep grudge against their Navy; now I'll settle old and new scores together!"

"We can't kill this guy yet. Once we reach our destination, I have plenty of ways to torture him!"

"So that's it!" The armed man nodded in sudden realization.

"I just thought you were soft-hearted and wanted to save him!"

"How is that possible! These bastards have deep grudges against me; why would I save them?"

The armed man nodded with satisfaction.

Qin Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When he stepped out just now, although the pirates appeared nonchalant, they were actually ready to draw their guns at any moment.

From this, it was clear that these people still held a suspicious attitude toward him.

If he didn't put on a show, these people probably wouldn't believe him so easily.

It seems he'll just have to suffer some physical pain for now; who told him to run his mouth...

Thinking of this, Qin Mo rushed forward and kicked Zhang Gang hard in the chest.

"Bang!" A loud thud rang out.

Zhang Gang was left gasping for air by Qin Mo's kick.

"Damn you! Let that teach you to curse at me!" Saying this, Qin Mo rushed over and gave Zhang Gang a beating.

He kept cursing while he did it.

Before long, Zhang Gang was covered in bruises and injuries from Qin Mo's beating.

The pirates on the side nodded with satisfaction.

It seemed Qin Mo was truly one of them.

Seeing this, Qin Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed this group really believed him this time.

He then pointed at Ye and Shi Hao, and said arrogantly, "Take this guy with you!"

"Why keep him? Why not just kill him? He's just a burden!" Eldest Brother Ji Bo frowned and said.

Qin Mo chuckled, "Big Brother! We're just getting started. When we get back, I'm going to make this kid wish he were dead. I'll use everything—whips, candles, chili water—on him. Only then will my hatred be satisfied!"

"Besides, these Navy guys are all about loyalty; they would never abandon a comrade. By bringing this burden, even if they want to run, they won't be able to! It kills two birds with one stone!"

Upon hearing this, Eldest Brother Ji Bo looked at Qin Mo with surprise, eyeing him up and down.

"I couldn't tell, you kid are quite the expert! Not bad, not bad! You have both courage and strategy!"

"Not at all! It's all thanks to Big Brother's guidance!"

"Not bad!" Eldest Brother Ji Bo nodded with satisfaction.

"Qin Mo! You must die!" Zhang Gang, being held by Ye and Shi Hao, squeezed out all his strength to yell another curse.

"You damn!" Qin Mo went up and kicked him again, then leaned close to Zhang Gang and said with an icy face, "I hope you can still talk later!"

Immediately after, the group followed Eldest Brother Ji Bo and walked into the distance.

...

At this moment, inside the command post.

Everyone looked at Qin Mo's actions with dark expressions.

The Brigade Commander's face was as black as ink, and he roared, "Who recruited this person? Don't they know how to check a family register?"

"This..." The communications officer hesitated and said, "Brigade Commander! I have already found Qin Mo's file. Would you... like to take a look?"

As he spoke, the communications officer handed the file to the Brigade Commander. The others gathered around as well.

"This..." After reviewing Qin Mo's file, everyone's mouths fell open...

"He is actually the son of Chief Qin!" the Commander exclaimed.

The Brigade Commander frowned, "That's not right! Since he is Chief Qin's son, how could he commit treason and defect to the enemy? If Old Master Qin knew about his actions, would Old Master Qin let him off?"

"You must know, the Qin Family are heroes of the nation! The Qin Family is a family of loyal martyrs who serve the country and the people! How could their direct descendant commit treason and defect to the enemy?"

"This..." The communications officer hesitated and asked strangely, "Brigade Commander, do you think it's possible... that Qin Mo is faking it?"

"This..." Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent...

"That's right! Qin Mo is very likely faking it! Is there anyone in the Qin Family who is a coward?" the operations officer said, his face full of pleasant surprise.

Upon hearing this, the Brigade Commander said helplessly, "This kid! He almost fooled me too!"

"You guys, this kid's acting skills are wasted if he doesn't win an Oscar!"

"Hahaha..." With these words, the room erupted in laughter.

The operations officer shook his head and said helplessly, "Although I don't know where this kid learned that this person is called Eldest Brother Ji Bo, I have to say, this kid is truly a talent."

"He infiltrated the enemy's ranks with such composure and confidence. Not bad! Very good!"

"Hey! That's right!" The communications officer suddenly thought of something and said, "I remember that before Qin Mo joined the military, he seemed to be a fortune teller. Do you think it's possible... he figured it out through fortune telling?"

Hearing this, the Brigade Commander directly denied it, "Nonsense! We are all revolutionary soldiers! We are materialists, how can we believe in fortune telling?"

The operations officer said, "Brigade Commander! You really shouldn't disbelieve it. I checked that before Qin Mo joined the military, he seemingly helped Comrade Hat catch many criminals through fortune telling!"

The Brigade Commander was immediately curious, "Is that really true? This kid has this ability?"

"Brigade Commander! I just checked! This Qin Mo is indeed very mysterious!" the communications officer said slowly.

The Brigade Commander shook his head, "No matter what supernatural powers he has, he is still my soldier!"

"Tiger Regiment, Wolf Regiment, have the tigers arrived yet? Why is it taking so long?"

The communications officer immediately checked for a moment. "Brigade Commander! They have already set foot on the island and are currently scouting the terrain!"

"Very good! Tell them to hurry! They must ensure Qin Mo's safety!"

"Brigade Commander, this..." The communications officer started to say something, but the Brigade Commander interrupted him directly, "I know what you want to say."

"Old Master Qin didn't give us any heads-up because he didn't want us to give Qin Mo special treatment. But the Qin Family are heroes of the Dragon Kingdom, so we must ensure his safety! This is the only thing I can do!"

The communications officer looked at the Brigade Commander in a daze, then said seriously, "I understand, Brigade Commander! I will relay the order immediately!"
