41: Chapter 41 A Short Vacation! A Storm is Brewing: A Sinister Plot Against Lin Mo!
"Jiangcheng is so big!"
On the private plane, Ren Xueyi excitedly pointed at the bustling city of Jiangcheng and shouted to Lin Mo.
Jiangcheng is the provincial capital of Jiang Province, located in the coastal region of eastern China.
It is also one of the best-developed among China's sixteen quasi-first-tier cities.
Lin Mo's home is not inside Jiangcheng city.
After getting off the plane, Lin Mo and Ren Xueyi got into a bulletproof sedan dispatched from the Eastern Military Region and headed to Jiangcheng No. 7 Middle School in the suburbs of Jiangcheng.
Lin Mo's mother is a high school teacher, and their home is in the faculty residential area inside the No. 7 Middle School.
It was almost noon when they entered the school gate. Since it was July, the students were all on summer vacation.
Under the shade of the trees, many elderly people were chatting idly with their grandchildren who were on summer break.
The group arrived at an old three-story villa.
"Captain Liu Zhihui, just you come up with me; the other soldiers can stay outside."
Lin Mo said with a smile to Captain Liu Zhihui.
Captain Liu Zhihui nodded.
He arranged for the other team members to deploy at various key positions.
Then he picked up the suitcase to follow Lin Mo.
"Dad, Mom?"
Lin Mo opened the door and found the sound of clattering coming from the kitchen.
"Little Mo, you're back!"
Lin Mos mother was wearing an apron and, not caring about the grease on her hands, hurriedly walked out of the kitchen.
"You really are something. I told you to call before you came back so your dad could pick you up. I don't know what you do all day..."
She stopped mid-sentence.
Lin Mos mother suddenly saw Ren Xueyi standing next to Lin Mo.
"You, you!..."
Lin Mos mother hurriedly rubbed her eyes with her hands.
She realized she hadn't seen wrong! It really was a delicate and pretty young beauty!
"Hello, Auntie! My name is Ren Xueyi, and I am Lin Mo's classmate~!"
Ren Xueyi was very well-behaved.
"Ha, haha... Little Ren, hello, hello to you too!"
Lin Mos mother replied with an awkward smile.
"My goodness! Am I dreaming?"
"This dead block of wood, Lin Mo, actually brought such a beautiful girlfriend home for the first time!"
"Old Lin, you dead thing, get out here!!"
To ease the awkwardness, Lin Mos mother hurriedly turned back and shouted at the top of her lungs for backup.
"Coming, coming!"
Lin Zhiyuan, Lin Mo's father, walked out of the kitchen.
"Hello, Uncle!"
Ren Xueyi called out sweetly again.
"Hello... hello..."
Looking at the sweet-looking Ren Xueyi beside Lin Mo, Lin Zhiyuan froze on the spot.
"What on earth?? This brat, Lin Mo, what is he doing!"
Lin Mos mother looked at the backup she had called, who was even less useful than herself.
She couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Come, Little Ren! And everyone, don't just stand there, come sit on the sofa."
Lin Mos mother wiped her hands vigorously on her apron, walked over, pulled up Ren Xueyi's suitcase, and said enthusiastically.
Lin Zhiyuan also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, everyone sit, everyone sit. I'll go get some water!"
Lin Mo looked at Ren Xueyi and Captain Liu Zhihui and said with a smile:
"Xueyi, Captain Liu Zhihui! Have a seat on the sofa."
It had been a long time since he had been home.
Lin Mo lay on the sofa without any decorum, his mood rarely relaxed.
Lin Mos mother signaled to him several times, but Lin Mo completely ignored them.
"Lin Mo! You are a soldier now, you need to sit properly!"
Lin Mos mother almost cursed out loud in her heart.
"In front of your girlfriend, can't you pay attention to your image!"
Lin Mo helplessly sat up.
"Dad, Mom, let me introduce you."
"This is Captain Liu Zhihui, a Major from the 'Dragon Tooth' Special Operations Force of our Supreme Military Region."
"And this is my current secretary, who is also my senior, Ren Xueyi."
"What? A secretary?"
Lin Mos mother cried out that it wasn't right. How could she be a secretary!
"This young girl's hand is already linked with my son's arm; how could this be a secretary???"
Lin Mos mother couldn't help it anymore.
She started finding topics to chat with Ren Xueyi, hoping to pry some information out of her.
Who knew that even Ren Xueyi herself said she was a secretary, which completely confused her!
"These two young people, they aren't playing some fancy game, are they!"
As for Lin Zhiyuan, as an old veteran who had transferred from the military, his attention was drawn by Captain Liu Zhihui's rank.
"The Supreme Military Region's 'Dragon Tooth' Special Operations Force is the most formidable special operations force in China!"
"Moreover, he is a Major at the captain level!"
"Just how well is my son doing that he can bring such a big shot to our house as a guest?"
"Gudong gudong!..." Sounds came from the kitchen.
Lin Zhiyuan got up: "I'll go prepare the food; I'm afraid it won't be ready in time. Everyone, please continue chatting."
Lin Mos mother looked at Lin Mo and said with a smile:
"Little Mo, I heard you were coming back today, so your uncle's family will also come over for dinner later."
"Uncle's family?"
Thinking of that uncle's family who did big business in the city center and lived in the wealthy area of Jiangcheng,
Lin Mo felt strange.
His uncle's family had always been plagued by family conflicts, and over the past few years, their relationship with his own family had faded significantly; they basically had no contact except during the Lunar New Year.
"Why are they coming over for dinner on the very first day I return?"
Lin Mo didn't think too much about it and continued chatting with Lin Mos mother about some of his usual work.
Little did he know, at this very moment, a conspiracy against him was brewing on the Chinese internet!
"How is it going? Have the resources of the major media outlets been utilized?"
"Yes, Professor Mi, they have all been used. It is already fermenting on the internet! This time, using this student named Lin Mo as an entry point, we will definitely be able to ruin Professor Ai Chongfeng's reputation!"
"That's good! Keep a close watch!"
... Twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang.
"Third, open the door, it's me!"
Lin Mos mother ran to open the door.
Lin Mo also stood up.
Uncle Lin Zhiqing walked in, laughing, with a beer belly.
Behind him followed Aunt Li Chunxiu and cousin Lin Feihang, who was carrying big and small bags.
"Hahaha! Lin Mo, you're back so early!"
"I was planning to come over earlier, but I didn't expect to be late!"
Lin Zhiqing walked over laughing and pulled Lin Mo over for a big hug.
"Knowing you were coming back today, I told your dad that we must come over to see you!"
"You graduated from college this year and were assigned to work at the Supreme Military Region."
"Among so many people in our Lin family, you are the only one who is an official, so we must celebrate properly!"
Looking at his uncle's enthusiastic appearance, Lin Mo felt very touched.
In his memory, Lin Zhiqing had always been very good to him since he was a child.
Lin Zhiqing did business outside and had money at home. When he was a kid, he often took him to amusement parks and to eat at KFC.
"Whatever ideas or wishes he had, his uncle would agree to them."
It was just that later on, they saw each other less, and their relationship had faded quite a bit.
Just at this moment, a sharp voice came.
"A fresh college graduate is already thinking about being an official?"
Aunt Li Chunxiu's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. For a common soldier to want to become a general, the road is still very long."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing's face instantly turned ashen.
"Today is a happy day, how are you talking to your nephew?"
"Hmph!"
Li Chunxiu rolled her eyes and said: "What did I say? Am I not telling the truth?"
"You!"
Lin Mos mother hurriedly mediated.
"Alright, alright, you've been arguing for a lifetime, it doesn't matter for this moment, come in and sit!"
Lin Zhiqing and Li Chunxiu, the couple, had been bickering about divorce for over ten years.
Every time Lin Zhiqing said anything, Li Chunxiu would always retort a few words.
Lin Mos mother and the others were long used to it.
Lin Mo didn't take it to heart either.
"Little Mo, congratulations!"
Cousin Lin Feihang put down the things and patted Lin Mo on the shoulder.
Lin Mo smiled and replied, "Thanks, cousin."
At this time, Lin Zhiqing and Li Chunxiu discovered the two strangers in the house.
"Little Mo, this is..."
Seeing the well-behaved and sweet Ren Xueyi, Lin Zhiqing was first curious, then seemed to understand something.
He turned back to look at Lin Mo and laughed.
"You brat, you really move fast! Just graduated and you've already brought your girlfriend home. Not bad, not bad, hahaha!"
Meanwhile, Li Chunxiu on the side, seeing the beautiful-as-a-fairy Ren Xueyi, was so jealous that her eyes were practically staring straight.
