The man was about 30 years old, and he had a sharp, resolute face. He stood straight and swept his deep eyes across the people who were standing in front of the hotel to take shelter from the rain.

When he saw Wu Mo, he immediately stepped forward and gave the latter a standard military salute with respect.

Pa!

“Hello, Second Lieutenant Wu, I’m Sun Siqin, your liaison officer. I’m here to take you to the Third MR to participate in the exercise. Please forgive me for my negligence!”

The man in the military uniform had a powerful voice that reminded one of muffled thunder, and his eyes were reminiscent of torches as he looked at Wu Mo with respect.

The man’s words and his respectful attitude toward Wu Mo completely shocked the crowd, who previously thought that the military vehicle’s appearance was a mere coincidence.

At that moment, Qian Rong and Cheng Tao were even more shocked.

They could not believe that the man in the military uniform was being so respectful toward Wu Mo.

He even called Wu Mo a second lieutenant. It struck the two of them like lightning.

They had been proud of themselves for being able to become managers of a large organization, but they never expected Wu Mo to reach such a high position in the military!

Qian Rong’s face immediately burned when he thought of the sarcastic words he had said to Wu Mo.

He was not even a cat or a dog in front of the others. He had been acting like a clown.

Wu Mo did not even see him as a worthy opponent. He never took him seriously.

At that thought, Qian Rong’s pupils trembled.

‘Impossible, absolutely impossible. He’s only been in the Research Department for three months. How can he become a second lieutenant so soon?”

As he wondered, an idea flashed through his mind. As though he had found a life-saving straw, he immediately pointed at Wu Mo’s head and sneered. “Do you realize how stupid you are? Don’t think that you can fool us with just two actors. If someone like you can become a second lieutenant, I’ll be a general!” Qian Rong said shamelessly.

He did not notice that the man in military uniform had a cold expression.

When Cheng Tao heard that, he immediately slapped his thigh and laughed, “F*ck, I was almost convinced by Wu Mo. So that’s what it is. Brother Qian, you’re really something. You saw through them so quickly.”

The two of them started to criticize the military vehicle and the two four-star cultivators.

“Wu Mo, you’re a clever little brat. Are you doing this to try and slap us in our faces? It’s a pity that I’ve already seen through your scheme. Come on, hurry up and tell me how much it costs to hire these people to act as regular soldiers.”

“Actually, they’re quite professional. Their temperament is incredibly similar.”

As if they had discovered a new continent, the two of them walked around the group, sometimes commenting and sometimes laughing.

The surrounding students, who originally looked shocked, now appeared angry. They thought that Wu Mo was simply toying with them.

“Wu Mo, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you too ashamed to face everyone now that your scheme’s been exposed?” Cheng Tao said with a laugh.

It was a vivid and incisive act of villainy.

“Ugh.”

Wu Mo shook his head. He felt that the two people before him were completely beyond redemption.

Even when faced with the truth, they still chose to deceive themselves, immersing in the illusion they had constructed, unable to extricate themselves.

Their future achievements definitely did not seem promising. They might even completely sink because of some setbacks.

Seeing that Wu Mo was silent, Jiang Mengyao’s heart clenched again.

She was worried that Wu Mo would become depressed thanks to the both of them. She wanted to comfort him but did not know how.

However, Jiang Mengyao firmly believed that Wu Mo was not someone who would pretend to be strong for the sake of his face. The military vehicle and the men in military uniform who appeared before them might have mistaken Wu Mo for the person they were supposed to pick up.

In the crowd, Tang Mu, who had been silent the whole time, looked at Wu Mo with a complicated expression.

He had fought Wu Mo many times in the design assessment and gained a deep understanding of the latter’s abilities. He did not believe that Wu Mo would be so depressing. Things were definitely not as simple as they seemed.

“Impudent! Since when does an outsider have the right to point fingers at us, the soldiers of the North China Military Region?! You are not worthy!”

One of the four-star cultivators opened his eyes wide and spoke immediately.

His voice was like muffled thunder on a sunny day, giving Qian Rong and Cheng Tao a shock.

The liaison officer, Sun Siqin, had a gloomy expression. He stared at the two people who had been rude toward them and sternly said, “Second Lieutenant Wu is a guest of North China’s Third Military Region, how can we allow you people to be disrespectful?! If you dare utter such nonsense again, you will be arrested for public disruption!”

Sun Siqin then took out his liaison’s ID in front of everyone.

Qian Rong and Cheng Tao were initially annoyed, but after seeing the Nine Provinces seal on the document, they suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. They stared at Wu Mo in disbelief.

They would never have thought that Wu Mo was a genuine second lieutenant and an honored guest in the military.

It was beyond their understanding, and they were instantly rooted to the spot.

Many of the students who were standing at the back to avoid the rain were also shocked.

Those who, in particular, had shamelessly bragged to Wu Mo to please Qian Rong and Cheng Tao at the dinner table subconsciously took two steps back when they met the liaison’s cold eyes.

They were afraid of angering him.

“No matter who you are, if you dare disrespect Second Lieutenant Wu, don’t blame us for overstepping our ranks. It’ll be too late for regrets once you leave behind a criminal record!”

Sun Siqin’s warning sounded like an alarm, causing everyone’s expression to change. They were too petrified to say another word.

Qian Rong and Cheng Tao, who had been jumping around happily earlier, were now frozen like obedient little chicks.

They just could not understand how Wu Mo could be promoted to the position of second lieutenant so quickly.

It was so quiet outside the hotel’s entrance that one could even hear a pin drop.

Tang Mu looked at Wu mo in shock. Although he had a feeling that Wu Mo did not seem as ordinary as he looked, he was still taken aback by Wu Mo’s power.

Even in a national organization, it would take at least 10 years of hard work to reach the rank of second lieutenant.

Unless, an individual completed a breakthrough in technological research and development, then he or she would be an exception and be promoted in a short time.

It was obvious that Wu Mo was the latter.

After graduating from the Divine Arms Academy, Wu Mo did not relax. Instead, he worked hard. After entering the Research Department, he continued to display extremely high standards.

On top of making a contribution and becoming a second lieutenant, he was also being invited by the military. It was apparent enough that Wu Mo’s ability in the field of forging had far surpassed that of everyone present.
