Chapter 417: New Mission
After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian made another call to Chen Moxiang.
Regardless of anything, Chen Moxiang was still part of the Security Management Institute, and he felt it was better to report these minor actions to her early.
The purpose of this operation was to kill people from Sakula Country. Chen Moxiang was not convenient to take action, but she definitely would not oppose what he was doing.
The phone finally connected after a long while.
"Hey, Lin Tian. What’s up?"
Lin Tian was speechless for a moment. "Can’t I call you if there’s nothing?"
"You definitely wouldn’t call me if there’s nothing. Just tell me what’s up?"
Lin Tian couldn’t help but praise her silently. As expected of the captain of the Special Action Team of the Security Management Institute, her intuition was spot on.
"Alright, I’ll just say it straight..."
Lin Tian narrated the content of the interrogation word for word to Chen Moxiang, feeling no need to hide anything from her.
Chen Moxiang exclaimed after listening, "Besides you and that female police officer, no one else knows about the batch of weapons you have, right?"
Lin Tian replied, "No, and I’ve already hidden that batch of weapons. I won’t use them unless it’s absolutely necessary."
Chen Moxiang was silent for a moment before she continued, "It’s only because it’s you. If it were someone else, I would definitely make them give up the weapons. You should still be careful; caution is the best policy."
To be honest, Lin Tian was a bit moved. Chen Moxiang represented the country’s strongest protective force. Allowing him to keep such a large batch of weapons was a huge sign of trust.
"Rest assured, I’ll transfer the batch of weapons to another place in a few days; no one besides me will know where it is."
The place Lin Tian mentioned was naturally his villa. He planned to contact a repair company to renovate the villa and have at least two secret rooms.
"By the way, how’s the information on the ancient martial arts family auction you told me about a few days ago?"
Chen Moxiang rolled her eyes on the other end, "Bro, it’s just been a few days. It’s not that fast. There’s news about the auction, but it’s not happening soon. However, I found out that they’ll be selling some rare herbs at the auction, many of which are unknown to ordinary people."
Lin Tian’s heart suddenly heated up and he asked eagerly, "What are they?"
"How would I know in detail? I just heard there were rare herbs in previous auctions, so this one shouldn’t be different. I’ll show you the auction list when it’s out."
This good news made Lin Tian smile so broadly that his eyes turned into slits. "Great, you’re so good to me, I almost want to give you a big kiss."
"Ugh..." Chen Moxiang couldn’t help but shiver in disgust. "Don’t gross me out, okay? But even if you go to the auction, those herbs aren’t easy for you to get."
"What do you mean?"
"I’ve heard that transactions there are not based on money. Ancient martial arts families don’t lack money; they need cultivation techniques and pills. Do you have any? If not, you could join the Security Management Institute, and I could help you get some."
Chen Moxiang said with a mischievous smile.
Lin Tian’s forehead filled with black lines. This persistent girl was still trying to coax him into the Security Management Institute.
Yet, Chen Moxiang’s clever plan was bound to fail because Lin Tian lacked nothing more than cultivation techniques. Within "Tyrant Emperor’s Record" are all sorts of techniques, whatever you need, even several for dual cultivation.
These are the least valuable things to Lin Tian, yet unexpectedly, the ancient martial arts families need them.
Not hearing Lin Tian speak for a while, Chen Moxiang thought he was considering it and thus promised more benefits: "If you join the Security Management Institute, I won’t ask you to give me a massage; I’ll massage you instead, how about it?"
"You’re dreaming!" Lin Tian refused without thinking. This is a losing deal.
If I massage you, I can flirt with you. If you massage me, would you flirt with me?
But thinking carefully about the image of her wearing a maid outfit, gently massaging his shoulders and back, Lin Tian couldn’t help shivering. That would be too blissful!
Chen Moxiang didn’t expect that Lin Tian, the jerk, would reject her proposal so quickly without even trying. How dare he refuse?
Chen Moxiang was upset, and very much so!
"Hmph, next time don’t come to me if you need anything, stingy guy."
Lin Tian, his mind filled with sensual images, almost dropped his phone from the balcony upon hearing Chen Moxiang’s girlish pout.
"Hey, don’t be mad. I have my reasons for not joining the Security Management Institute. Can I do something else for you to make up for it? I’ll give you an extra massage?" Lin Tian said with a forced smile.
"Dream on!"
Chen Moxiang mimicked Lin Tian’s tone and rejected him outright. Lin Tian swallowed back what he wanted to say.
With a change of tone, Chen Moxiang said, "I’ve done so much for you, yet you won’t join the Security Management Institute. If I need help next time, will you lend me a hand?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, if I need help, will you help me then?"
Lin Tian did not answer immediately and thought for a while before nodding, "Alright, but don’t give me too difficult missions. Like with the cultural center last time, after it ended, I was scared."
"Okay, no problem."
Chen Moxiang’s lips curled slightly, revealing a charming yet somewhat sinister smile, like a cunning little fox who had just won.
If Lin Tian saw it, he wouldn’t agree so easily.
Just as Lin Tian was about to hang up, Chen Moxiang’s voice sounded again, "There’s one more thing I need you to do."
"No way? I just promised you, and you’re assigning me a task."
"Don’t worry, this time I’m not asking you to risk your life. It’s not dangerous and will actually benefit you a lot."
Lin Tian became interested, "What is it?"
"Do you remember the first time you met Ye Feng?"
"Of course I remember. Why ask?"
Ye Feng was someone Lin Tian always remembered fondly. Although they hadn’t known each other long, each encounter left a deep impression.
"After Ye Feng’s sacrifice, his followers are now without a leader and have started committing crimes in Kanyue City again. I originally intended to capture them all at once. But after hearing you’re building a force, I think they might be suitable."
Lin Tian was silent. If it were before, he would certainly refuse.
Because they were just thieves, notorious thieves. But after meeting Ye Feng, Lin Tian’s perception of them changed; he didn’t dislike them as much as before.
Besides, Chen Moxiang was right; his team did indeed need capable members.
After a while, Lin Tian finally answered, "Alright, leave those people to me. But show me their profiles first."
"No problem!"
