Chapter 376 Back at the Police Station
Although Miss Yuan's behavior is rather abstract, she is still very sensitive to the emotions between people.

Just like how she concluded that Liu Ruyan and Lin Mo's relationship was fake even though she had no evidence whatsoever.

Now, her cousin's two completely different attitudes toward her and Lin Mo made her realize that something was amiss.

You should know that she is Zhao Yun's biological cousin; they've known each other for many years since they were little.

On the contrary, how could Lin Mo, a complete stranger with no blood relation and whom she had only known for a short time, surpass her?

After all, Zhao Yun's attitude towards the two of them was not exactly opposite, but it was still very different. She was expressionless and pushed away ruthlessly towards her, but when she saw Lin Mo, she smiled and her face was as beautiful as a flower. Even her tone was much gentler than usual.

Who is Zhao Yun? How could she not know? From childhood to adulthood, she had never seen her cousin so gentle.

Especially after she joined the army, even her own brother Yuan Hua didn't dare to raise his voice in front of her. The only one who could rival her was her maternal uncle's eldest brother Jiang Feng. Perhaps because they had both served in the army, they had more in common. Apart from that, she had never seen her cousin Zhao Yun show any kindness to any man.

She wanted Lin Mo to pursue Liu Ruyan. If he could win her over, he could stand up for himself and get revenge for all the grievances he had suffered over the years. But he couldn't pursue her cousin. Otherwise, wouldn't Lin Mo be able to ride on his head and act arrogantly in the future?
Therefore, Miss Yuan will not tolerate this situation and will resolutely defend her cousin's innocence.

"Get lost! Who's hitting on her? I have a boyfriend. Besides, I beat up your cousin a few days ago. Have you ever seen anyone beat up a girl before trying to pick her up?" Lin Mo pried open Miss Yuan's arms to free his head and asked.

The splint itself wasn't very strong; it was mainly Miss Yuan's height that made him bend over almost at a 90-degree angle when she jumped up to put the splint on him. It was really uncomfortable for him to talk like that.

"You hit my cousin? Oh my god, my cousin could beat the shit out of you with one hand. You've never been beaten by my cousin before!" Miss Yuan didn't believe it, clearly having a lot of confidence in Zhao Yun.

Lin Mo sneered at this: "Have you forgotten about the Forest Kindergarten? Didn't I take down that captain of the Armed Police Detachment in one move?"
"I know kung fu now, you know the Black Dragon Eighteen Hands, right?"

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan was taken aback, then realized that she had indeed underestimated the little black dog and almost forgot how good he was at fighting.

"You...you really beat up my cousin?" Miss Yuan asked, stammering.

Lin Mo: "It's the real deal, go ask her if you don't believe me!"

Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan lunged forward, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws: "Damn it, I really want to beat you to death!"
"Go ahead and deal with that little wench Liu Ruyan if you dare! You can kick her even if you stand up. But if you dare bully my cousin, you'll get a banana from me!"

After saying that, Miss Yuan took out a golden banana from her pocket and chopped it down on his forehead.

But Lin Mo snatched it away, saying, "Perfect, fruit before the meal!"

"Aaaaah~ You shameless little thief, give it back to me!"

She treated me to the meal herself, but I still want it back. Even minors don't get refunds this quickly!
The two of them followed Zhao Yun to the cafeteria, bickering and teasing each other. In the end, Miss Yuan took the banana back; there was no way around it, she was very possessive of her food.

She may be very generous with money, but if someone tries to take food from her, it's like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

The small dining room inside the canteen is usually used by the bureau for entertaining guests, just like the private rooms on the second floor of their university canteen.

You may not use it, but you can't be without it. Lin Mo isn't a leader, but he was invited into the small canteen today.

"Director Liu, Lin Mo and his friends have arrived," Zhao Yun said as they entered the private room.

She didn't mention that Yuan Meng was her cousin, since it wouldn't be appropriate for her to be in the cafeteria as her cousin. But if she was Lin Mo's friend, then it didn't matter. After all, they needed her help today, and moreover, because of their decision, Lin Mo had a bounty on his head overseas. As the branch director, she still needed to give him face.

"Xiao Lin is here! Please have a seat." Director Liu stood up to greet the three of them as they entered.

Lin Mo, naturally, didn't presume and quickly greeted him, "Hello, Director Liu!" "Oh, why call me Director Liu? You're not one of us. Just call me Uncle Liu," Director Liu waved his hand dismissively and smiled, trying his best to appear amiable.

After all, he would need someone's help later, so how could he put on airs? He would be too busy trying to build a closer relationship with them.

Calling him Director Liu is a formal title, and even during working hours, it feels a bit distant. Fortunately, Lin Mo isn't a government employee; he's just an ordinary citizen, so calling him Uncle Liu bridges the gap.

Lin Mo naturally followed suit: "Uncle Liu"

"Ah, that's right!" Director Liu said casually.

Miss Yuan, who was standing to the side, also called out "Uncle Liu" without any sense of formality.

The four of them then sat down in the small canteen. While Director Liu was inviting them to eat, he also thanked Lin Mo for his help.

"Xiao Lin, thanks to your sketch last time, it provided us with a new direction for solving the case. You don't know, you're famous in our bureau's criminal investigation department now. Everyone knows that there is a genius who is proficient in sketching and can perfectly restore blurry surveillance footage."

"You did a great job solving this case so smoothly, but since you're not one of our insiders, we can't give you a reward. However, I've applied for a bonus for you as a token of my gratitude. It's not much, just eight thousand yuan, but it's a small token of my appreciation."

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, you're too kind. I didn't expect to be of any help. I'm just glad that everyone's efforts weren't in vain!"

"No, no, to my shame, you've done us a huge favor, but we've ended up giving you away in some unexpected ways."

But don't worry, Xiaolin, I will absolutely not let anything happen to you. The food street downstairs in your neighborhood will be set up tonight.

"However, it might be a bit difficult for you to go abroad in the future," Director Liu said somewhat embarrassedly.

Lin Mo was taken aback: "Is it that serious? We can't even go abroad?"

“Actually, it’s not impossible for you to go abroad if you really want to, but the process will be more difficult than for the average person. This is for your safety. As you know, it’s not very safe abroad,” Director Liu sighed.

The message is quite clear: plainclothes officers disguised as food stall vendors have appeared downstairs, and the procedures for leaving the country are more stringent. This precisely proves that the news is true and the bounty placed on him abroad is real; otherwise, there would be no need for such a high-profile operation.

"Good heavens, does that mean there will be even more delicious food downstairs tonight? Do you have fried noodles?" Miss Yuan suddenly asked.

There was no concern for personal safety, only a craving for delicious food.

Three people:
Seeing that even the bureau chief was speechless, Zhao Yun quickly said, "Yuanyuan, shut up! We're talking about serious matters, eat your food!"

"It's alright, cousin. Anyway, Mozi isn't planning to go abroad. He's safe and secure in China, so it won't have much of an impact!" Miss Yuan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Director Liu astutely grasped two key words: "Cousin? Xiao Zhao, is this your cousin?"

"Yes, Director Liu, I'm my aunt's second child," Zhao Yun said somewhat shyly.

Upon hearing this, Director Liu, being a shrewd man, immediately understood the young woman's network of connections. After all, when Zhao Yun first came to the bureau, someone had already made arrangements for her. Now that someone with the same identity had appeared, he naturally knew about the leader of the Jiang family who was still working in the Jiangning City Public Security System, as well as the old man of the Jiang family.

"It's alright, Mozi, don't be afraid. If all else fails, you can come back to my grandma's house with me. My grandpa was talking about you when I went home last time. I'll ask my uncle to help take a look at you then!" Miss Yuan said casually, but with a thoughtful intention.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Director Liu's eyes widened slightly, and he quickly said, "No need, no need, our bureau can handle it. I'll send a few more people to ensure Xiao Lin's safety, so there's no need to trouble Elder Jiang."
