Chapter 802: Im Talking About You
Old Zheng’s words were not just mere sentiment; they were loaded with meaning. After speaking, he gave Ling Mo a profound and steady look, not blinking once.
“I’ve made it so obvious, surely you grasp my point now! Things have reached a conclusion, so how about giving me an explanation!”
Losing an ally for no apparent reason is no small matter. Even if Ling Mo represents the Second Camp, he can’t just act recklessly!
Old Zheng is not Wang Lin. He and Ling Mo have only just met, yet he was inexplicably maneuvered, helping Ling Mo suppress a rival while also suffering a significant setback.
Simply asking for an explanation is already a considerable concession!
Even if Old Zheng could brush off this matter, he still has to account to the senior management at Central Region Camp!
However, what Old Zheng didn’t expect was that in response to his suggestive gaze, Ling Mo’s first reaction was to show a hint of confusion!
“What is it?” Ling Mo asked innocently.
But such a simple question nearly made Old Zheng spit blood.
How can you be the one who’s confused? Clearly, I’m the one troubled by all these questions! Although I’ve somewhat figured out your motive, shouldn’t you at least offer some comfort to my wounded soul?A rush of blood surged to Old Zheng’s head, and he almost blurted out his words, but then he paused unexpectedly.
Yes… where does Ling Mo get this unshakable confidence?
Is he pretending to be clueless?
Obviously not; he genuinely looks surprised…
“Could it be that I made a mistake?”
Old Zheng thought in bewilderment, yet inside, he was already beginning to calm down.
“That’s it… This person is meticulous. When he set up this plan, he definitely considered our Central Region Camp… This matter is a minor issue for me personally, but for the camp’s senior management, it’s not that simple. Even if they don’t abandon the cooperation with the Second Camp because of this, they will surely have many criticisms of his approach, and it might even affect the partnership between both sides… He couldn’t have overlooked such significant consequences… Could he be wanting me to keep it confidential?”
As soon as he thought of this possibility, he immediately dismissed it: “No, even if I don’t say anything, Niepan will definitely leak the news, and even if the camp doesn’t find out immediately, they will eventually learn the truth… He couldn’t have missed that… Moreover, this incident has offended Niepan. If Niepan has any kind of blacklist, Ling Mo would undoubtedly be at the top! I can’t allow Central Region Camp to bear the burden alone, and my life can’t bear it either, so his name is bound to be exposed… In that case, if he wants to leave no loose ends, there’s probably only one way…”
“No! It can’t be!”
Old Zheng was suddenly shocked, and he looked at Ling Mo with a hint of disbelief.
But remembering what Ling Mo had just done, he couldn’t help but feel a chill.
“Others might not… but he just might!”
“The best way to eliminate future troubles is to destroy Niepan… or annex it!”
Thinking about the resources and manpower that Niepan had amassed, Old Zheng couldn’t help but breathe a bit more heavily.
It must be an annexation!
Could Ling Mo’s ambition be so vast?!
Niepan is full of thorns. Causing it some trouble isn’t too difficult, but swallowing it whole is not that simple!
For a Survivor Camp to have developed to this extent, the power it holds is certainly nothing to be trifled with!
And Ling Mo…
Old Zheng knew a little about the inner workings of Falcon Second Camp.
This Second Camp is currently only semi-independent, with the real Falcon Camp holding it back.
Although Ling Mo is one of the actual leaders of the Second Camp, in the eyes of the bosses at Falcon Camp, he is seen as a thorn in their side.
No one wants their power to be stripped away by an outsider, even if he’s not directly involved in management!
But with Yuwen Xuan around, this issue has yet to be brought to the forefront. However, now that Ling Mo has provoked Niepan, the situation is different.
As long as Falcon Camp doesn’t loosen its grip, the support that Second Camp can offer Ling Mo is actually limited!
There might even be a worse outcome: Falcon Camp could become furious and use Ling Mo as a bargaining chip to patch things up with Niepan!
“No matter how you look at it, it’s hard for him to achieve his goal. Could he still have a hidden card up his sleeve?”
The more Old Zheng thought, the deeper his thoughts went, and the more questions filled his mind.
At least from his standpoint, Ling Mo seemed to be digging his own grave!
Just then, Ling Mo suddenly exclaimed, “Oh,” as if realizing something, and said, “No need to worry, just pin everything on me. In front of your bosses, there’s no need to mention Wang Lin.”
“Huh? Okay…” Old Zheng instinctively replied, but immediately felt like slapping himself.
What was there to be anxious about?
Yet, with just those words, Ling Mo managed to make Old Zheng the one feeling uneasy!
“If you don’t cause trouble, you won’t get into trouble, and you’re one of them! What a person… truly oblivious!”
Frustrated, Old Zheng walked to the side, needing to distance himself from Ling Mo to calm down for a moment…
At this time, Xu Shuhan also spoke up, “What about him?”
The man, held by the neck, remained relatively calm. But when he saw Ling Mo looking his way, he couldn’t help but tense up.
He might not have felt the full impact of Ling Mo’s strategies, but Ling Mo’s lightning-fast reflexes and action had genuinely stunned this man.
Though he never had a chance to face Ling Mo directly, he knew He Hongyan’s strength well…
To defeat He Hongyan so effortlessly, facing Ling Mo would be a swift end for him too.
A master, this is a true master!
When He Hongyan was dragged away by Wang Lin, he did feel a bit of panic, but more so a sense of pity.
While she considered Ling Mo to be a rookie, Ling Mo was probably the one truly seeing her as a joke.
Throughout the whole ordeal, he never saw any anger or humiliation on Ling Mo’s face; his expression when dealing with He Hongyan was particularly calm.
At the time, he thought this person simply hadn’t grasped the situation or didn’t understand He Hongyan’s methods… but now he understood. Ling Mo was genuinely calm. It was like how a human doesn’t react when an ant shows its tiny aggression.
When it was his turn to face his fate, the man grew fearful.
Anyone who managed to survive up to this point was certainly someone who cherished life. Just like He Hongyan, who might not value others’ lives but certainly cherished her own. In a way, her ruthlessness was a manifestation of self-preservation…
After a shivering moment, the man swallowed hard, watching Ling Mo walk up to him.
“I…”
“Let him go,” Ling Mo said.
The man’s eyes widened, and before he could react, Xu Shuhan had already released her grip and quickly distanced herself, hiding behind Ling Mo with her head lowered.
However, her unusual behavior didn’t catch the man’s attention, as he was somewhat dazed, staring at Ling Mo.
“I’m not a murderer, what are you afraid of?” Ling Mo said with a hint of helplessness.
He didn’t actually harbor any ill will toward this man; during his infiltration earlier, he had overheard the man advising He Hongyan.
It’s just that he didn’t dare outright defy He Hongyan, and his words consequently had little effect. But this alone shed light on He Hongyan’s domineering nature.
“Right… right,” the man said, awkwardly forcing a smile.
“But there’s something I need your help with,” Ling Mo added, glancing at the visibly nervous man. With a smile, he continued, “Don’t worry, it won’t put you in any danger. You might even earn a reward. Of course, that depends if your boss is in the mood for that.”
While Ling Mo’s words sounded like a joke, Old Zheng furrowed his brow once more.
