Chapter 16: Behind the Scenes

The man had some skills. He quickly got up from the ground and tried to fight back, but he could not be Xing Mo’s opponent. His henchman also wanted to come up to help, but was stopped by Lin Luo.

Lin Luo’s hands quickly turned into beast claws, reflecting sharply under the light. Don’t look at Lin Luo’s deceptive thin appearance, the ocelot genes in his body make him very fast and powerful, and these ordinary people are not his opponents at all.

When Lin Luo began to expose the true colors of these people, Xing Mo had already opened his light brain to report to the authorities. The Kipola garrison force soon came to Gambling Stone Street according to the location in the Xing Mo’s alarm information, and handled things very smoothly. The group was quickly arrested.

Coincidentally, the leader of this garrison team was Ling WenHua, a classmate of Xing Mo when he was in the military academy. After graduating from the military academy, Ling WenHua joined the army and fought all the way to become a lieutenant. He is now stationed on guard on Kipola as the commander of the third garrison.

Xing Mo had always been a male god-level figure when he was in the military academy. Ling WenHua also admired him very much, so after receiving the alert, he immediately led the team to rush over.

“Xing Mo!” Ling WenHua’s name is gentle [1], but he is actually a tall and muscular rough man. When he has no expression he looks very serious, and when he laughs he looks very stupid…

Xing Mo looked at the smirk on Ling WenHua’s face, barely resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, before handing all the people they caught to Ling WenHua to deal with.

“Damn, which bastard is moving on you behind the scenes? Don’t worry Xing Mo, I will figure it out for you! But you also need to go with us, and you still need to submit some evidence.”

“Sure, no problem.”

Xing Mo and Lin Luo got into the car with Ling WenHua. Wang Ze stayed to see the shop. The others disappeared after seeing the excitement. The angry mob dispersed, but there were still many people who followed Wang Ze to the shop. They don’t really believe that Xing Mo’s shop will do anything with fake jadeite. After all, he has a whole planet of jadeite veins as a backing.

There are some people who want to ask Wang Ze about Lin Luo’s information. These people are all old people in Gambling Stone Street. They are very knowledgeable about the news on the street. This young man named Lin Luo within just a couple days bet on two big wins. This is not the luck that most people can have!

However, Xing Mo greeted Wang Ze early in the morning and asked him not to disclose any information about Lin Luo. Therefore, Wang Ze only said that Lin Luo was a friend of Xing Mo. People asked their questions many times but still left in disappointment.

On the other side, Xing Mo and Lin Luo followed Ling WenHua to the garrison headquarters. Ling WenHua asked his subordinates to take away the troublemakers and interrogate them. Meanwhile he brought Xing Mo and Lin Luo to inquire and recorded all the events and copied the video evidence provided by Lin Luo.

On Xing Mo and Lin Luo’s side no matter what angle you watch from there is no possibility of fake jadeite materials. The evidence they provided is quite sufficient, and all of it can be verified. The current behavior of the people in custody has constituted the crime of fraud with malicious intent. The crime of defamation, according to the imperial criminal law, is to be sent to the barren planet Huangxing to do hard labor for at least three years.

Everything in the current empire can be handled through the holographic network. It only takes a few days to process cases like this that have such conclusive evidence, from the court hearing to the verdict and sentencing, and everything in between. As a result, a message was sent from the interrogation room. After investigation, those people actually had a history of such scams several times, but those who were defrauded were not as tough as Xing Mo and Lin Luo, so they had to choose to withdraw the case and settle outside court quietly. Only this time something happened. These people originally thought that this time everything would go just the same, but they didn’t expect to kick an iron plate.

These people are also taking people’s money and running jobs for others. As soon as the evidence is confirmed, the case will be reported immediately. The people who were arrested are panicking, and are busy trying to turn on the people behind the scenes, hoping that if they straightforwardly confess and cooperate the authorities will be lenient.

“Xing Mo, do you know a person named Shi Quan? Does he have a grudge against you?” Ling WenHua asked Xing Mo after listening to his subordinates’ report.

Xing Mo sneered. Shi Quan, isn’t this person his good cousin’s friend? His family has a stake in a small mineral vein on planet Galio, and is also in the business of trading jadeite. It seems that they really can’t bear to see him do well. First, they cleverly used the meteorite shower to hurt his vitality, and then used this kind of tricks to make his business in Gambling Stone Street unable to continue.

Fortunately, he has Lin Luo…

Xing Mo couldn’t help but glanced at Lin Luo. This little guy is really his lucky star. Since meeting him, no matter what happens, he can turn danger into a blessing, even a blessing in disguise.

Ling WenHua entered the StarNet Information Database to inquire about Shi Quan’s information, and found that he had bought a shop on Gambling Stone Street a few days ago. He was decorating recently. It seemed that he wanted to fight Xing Mo.

“Don’t worry, leave this to me, it will be done in a few days.” Ling WenHua said to Xing Mo.

“Okay, then I will trouble you.”

“Don’t you be polite with me!”

Coming out of the garrison headquarters, Xing Mo realized that Lin Luo had been abnormally quiet and turned to look at him, only to find that he had his cheeks puffed out in a look that said ‘I’m very angry’.

“What’s the matter?” Xing Mo smiled and rubbed his head. He found that after meeting Lin Luo, he laughed more times than all of the previous years combined. He had also developed a tendency to want to rub this head at every turn. He knew he should curb this bad habit, but fortunately Lin Luo didn’t show any rejection of it.

“I’m angry! Why are these people so bad! You… they all bully you!”

“Pfft…” Xing Mo just thought he was too cute, and couldn’t help laughing.

“Hey!” Lin Luo widened his pair of cat eyes, and the cheeks bulged more and more, the really interpreting what it means to become a pufferfish.

“Thank you.”

“What… Why are you saying this all of a sudden…”

“It’s nothing, I just suddenly felt that it’s nice to have you around.”

Lin Luo’s face quickly turned red like a little red apple. Xing Mo felt his heart itch, and really wanted to take a bite on that cute little cheek…

“Then, then we…what are we going to do now…”

“It’s still early, let’s go back to Gambling Stone Street first. I need to contact my father to deal with some things about the shop.”

Lin Luo immediately replied, “Okay!”

The two quickly took the suspended vehicle and returned to the Gambling Stone Street. When Xing Mo went to the backyard to deal with the matter, Lin Luo mentioned he might go out for a stroll. Xing Mo didn’t think too much about it. A young man his age couldn’t sit still, so it would be better to let him go out to walk around. Xing Mo asked him to enable location sharing and instructed him to contact him immediately if anything happened, then gave him 200,000 credits and told him to buy anything he likes.

Lin Luo obediently agreed, then left the store happily.

In addition to gambling shops, there are other types of shops on Gambling Stone Street, such as shops selling energy liquid, nutrient liquid and some that sell expensive snacks made of natural materials. In short, it is quite interesting to stroll around.

It’s just that Lin Luo’s interest is obviously not in these, but to flag down a few passers-by to find out if there is a new jadeite store here.

Soon, he found the shop that Ling WenHua said was renovated after the completion of the project. Coincidentally, it had already opened. Prosperous and festive decorations were set up at the door, and opening bargains were also offered. All the jadeite materials were discounted at 20%, so the business in their store was already very good.

Although there are many people, there is only one manager and a few freight robots in the store. On one hand, everyone around here understands the rules and cannot do anything out of the ordinary. On the other hand, the empire’s laws are not to be underestimated. Those who do dare to make trouble usually just pull a few small scams to make a little money. If you really dare to do something bad, it will be violently suppressed by the army immediately.

This is why Xing Mo dared to let Lin Luo go out alone.
