Yuan Hui was here pretending to be pitiful.

Hongyan Xun remained indifferent.

To her, Yuan Hui's actions were laughable.

Extremely laughable.

Soon, Yuan Hui unlocked Hongyan Xun's seal.

Mo Lin didn't quite understand the specifics, but the seal was undone nonetheless.

Hongyan Xun could summon her Contract Ghost now.

"Uh.. can I leave now?" Yuan Hui asked cautiously.

"Leave?"

A flash of murderous intent emerged deep in Hongyan Xun's eyes.

"What do you think?"

After being made to suffer like this by Yuan Hui, how could she easily let him leave?

What did he take her for?

A kind-hearted person blessed with great mercy?

If it weren't for Yuan Hui sealing her Contract Ghost, she wouldn't have been bullied so easily.

Without any extra words, Hongyan Xun summoned her Contract Ghost.

Her Contract Ghost appeared, gripping Yuan Hui's neck.

Yuan Hui struggled in vain, and soon he choked to death.

All of this was Yuan Hui's own doing.

He had to pay the price himself.

"Mo Lin, thank you." Hongyan Xun expressed her gratitude to Mo Lin once again.

If Mo Lin hadn't stepped in to help, who knows what her fate would have been.

"We're friends, no need to be so formal."

Mo Lin reminded Hongyan Xun, "You should go to the hospital first."

Hongyan Xun's injuries were too severe, she had to make a trip to the hospital.

Hongyan Xun nodded and then hailed a taxi to go to the hospital.

The matter was resolved appropriately.

"Mo Lin, do I get credit for today's incident?" Lin Xi asked Mo Lin.

"Yes.. thank you." Without Lin Xi, Mo Lin couldn't have found Yuan Hui so quickly.

"More than verbal thanks, I prefer tangible rewards." Lin Xi said teasingly to Mo Lin.

"Go ahead, what do you want?"

"The day after tomorrow, we're going on a business trip to Beihai, want to come?" Lin Xi asked Mo Lin.

As for why inviting Mo Lin, mainly because she's familiar with Mo Lin.

Also, this business trip will be with people from the Purple Dragon Association.

She's worried about unforeseen events during the trip, so she wants Mo Lin to come along.

Mo Lin has power, and also has Thunder Talismans.

Who would dare bully her then?

Hehe...

This is Lin Xi's little scheme.

"Sure."

Isn't this perfect?

Mo Lin was planning to go to Beihai too, to visit Copper Coins Celestial Master Mansion.

Just happens to be on the way.

"Alright, it's settled then. I'll call you then," Lin Xi said to Mo Lin slowly.

Ring ring ring..

Mo Lin's phone rang, it was Li Bingyan calling.

Upon answering, he heard Li Bingyan's voice.

"Mo Lin, come over to Ghost-Controlling Society Headquarters."

Simple and direct, just one sentence, leaving Mo Lin wondering what was going on.

So Mo Lin bid farewell to Lin Xi and headed to Ghost-Controlling Society Headquarters.

This route was familiar to Mo Lin, he'd been here before.

Driving took only over ten minutes for Mo Lin to reach Ghost-Controlling Society Headquarters.

Even though it was nighttime, people were rushing about at the headquarters.

There were no signs of it being after office hours at all.

Mo Lin quickly arrived at Li Bingyan's office.

Li Bingyan was wearing a gray-black suit, looking quite formal.

A middle-aged man was seated on a chair.

This middle-aged man had stubble and was dressed in a suit like Li Bingyan.

Li Bingyan pointed at Mo Lin and introduced him to the middle-aged man, "Zhong, this is Mo Lin."

The moment the middle-aged man saw Mo Lin, he showed a pleased smile and then stood up to greet Mo Lin.

"Mo, I've long heard of your reputation."

"Truly, person matches the name, you are indeed a gentleman!" Zhonghai warmly shook Mo Lin's hand and led Mo Lin to sit down.

"Who are you?" Mo Lin asked Zhonghai with suspicion.

"I'm Zhonghai, the director of the Beihai Ghost-Controlling Society headquarters," the middle-aged man said slowly.

The middle-aged man gestured to Li Bingyan nearby, signaling her to leave.

Li Bingyan walked past Mo Lin, gently patting his shoulder with her right hand.

"This is your chance."

Then she left.

Mo Lin was still pondering what Li Bingyan meant.

Zhonghai interrupted Mo Lin's thoughts with a question.

"Young Mo, are you interested in developing in Beihai?"

"What do you mean?" Mo Lin asked in confusion, not responding directly.

"I heard from Li Bingyan about your deeds. You're capable, have personality, and character. I like you; I want to promote you to be the deputy director of Beihai Ghost-Controlling Society," Zhonghai said slowly.

So it turned out, they had come to promote Mo Lin.

No wonder Li Bingyan reminded Mo Lin to seize the opportunity.

"There's been some trouble in Beihai; the former deputy director of the Ghost-Controlling Society died, along with many others," said Zhonghai slowly.

Earlier, Lin Xi talked about taking Mo Lin to Beihai on a business trip.

Turns out it was because Beihai urgently needed manpower.

Things made sense all at once.

"Why choose me?"

Mo Lin asked with doubt.

There were many people in Yun Chuan, why Mo Lin?

It should be known that Mo Lin hadn't been with Ghost-Controlling Society for long.

"This decision is well-considered for two reasons.

First, you're strong, possessing Thunder Talismans.

Second, you don't get along with Copper Coins Celestial Master Mansion.

Based on these two points, you're the most suitable choice."

Mo Lin initially had little interest in this topic, but mentioning Copper Coins Celestial Master Mansion aroused his interest.

"Copper Coins Celestial Master Mansion might secretly be collaborating with ghosts... I suspect they're partnering up to eliminate the Ghost-Controlling Society."

"The deputy director of the Ghost-Controlling Society investigating Copper Coins Celestial Master Mansion matters, totaling three hundred and ninety-six Ghost-Controlling Masters, all perished. It's very suspicious," the middle-aged man explained to Mo Lin.

He was speaking with a basis, having heard that people from Copper Coins Celestial Master Mansion had come to Yun Chuan and were partnering with ghosts.

This further supported Zhonghai's theory.

"Copper Coins Celestial Master Mansion doesn't get along with you; if they gain prominence, they might retaliate against you," Zhonghai analyzed the pros and cons for Mo Lin.

Even without being told, Mo Lin understood.

But Zhonghai's wording was too euphemistic.

It's not just a possibility of retaliating against Mo Lin; it's a certainty.

"Are there any benefits?" Mo Lin asked Zhonghai slowly.

"All the powers belonging to the Ghost-Controlling Society in Beihai are at your disposal. No matter what you do, I'll unconditionally support you; this is the benefit I'm offering you," Zhonghai was evidently aware of something.

He had investigated Mo Lin's affairs before coming.

This statement seemed almost like a hint.

If Mo Lin wanted to eliminate Copper Coins Celestial Master Mansion, he would offer all help at any cost.

"Alright." Mo Lin agreed readily.

This was a partnership.

Mo Lin needed the Ghost-Controlling Society, and the Ghost-Controlling Society needed Mo Lin.

Mutual assistance.

"Deputy Director Mo, please take care of things from now on," the middle-aged man said as he shook Mo Lin's hand.

Then he handed a prepared identification card to Mo Lin.

"Your ID card has been prepared, and tomorrow I'll notify everyone at Beihai Ghost-Controlling Society that you'll become the deputy director,"

He was indeed meticulous, preparing Mo Lin's ID card in advance.

"I'll head to Beihai the day after tomorrow?" Mo Lin wanted to go to Beihai along with Lin Xi and others.

"Alright," Zhonghai nodded in agreement.
