Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 441 I've Been Promoted
It's a very meaningful thing. Compared to Chuanmei, Lin Mo is much more pure. He doesn't seek fame or fortune; he just wants to do his best to help those in need.

This wasn't out of saintliness, but rather because he felt that since the shopping page had chosen him and given him so many abilities, he should naturally make use of them.

Financial freedom is within his reach, especially now that he's dating Liu Ruyan, a wealthy woman. You could say he's long since overcome his financial worries. So, he might as well do something that he finds meaningful.

He doesn't have the mindset that with great power comes great responsibility, but within his capabilities, while ensuring his own safety and not harming his own interests, he is still willing to do some good deeds, which can be considered a contribution to society.

As for the Sichuan girl feeling that this is an opportunity for her to transform herself, or even to bring her traffic and popularity, there is nothing shameful about that.

A wise person judges by actions, not intentions. No one is perfect, and as long as someone does a good deed, regardless of their initial motivation, they deserve recognition.

Pursuing fame and fortune and doing good deeds are not inherently contradictory.

When Lin Mo was a child, his generation was taught that doing good deeds should not leave one's name; if one's name is left behind, doing good deeds loses its meaning.

But as he grew up and developed independent thinking skills, he realized that doing good deeds should be rewarded, so that more people would choose to help others when they encounter difficulties, which would create a virtuous cycle.

The progress here is also very fast. After Lin Mo said that he could start drawing now, Director Liu immediately made arrangements for the follow-up.

Of course, Director Liu wouldn't follow up all the time; Zhao Yun was put in charge of this, and Lin Mo and Chuan Mei also met the specially formed team.

The field staff, technical and logistical personnel totaled 20 people. It was only after inquiring that we learned that Director Liu attached great importance to this matter and even borrowed some personnel from other branches and the headquarters.

If we want to achieve results in this matter, it certainly can't be accomplished by just a few people; we definitely need to have the manpower.

Lin Mo and his companion greeted everyone briefly. Most of the people in the group were from their bureau and knew them well, so there was no need for further introductions. Even the police officer Xiao Wu, who had accompanied Zhao Yun on her visit, was among them.

Lin Mo didn't chat much with the others. He found a place and began sketching the child's appearance from the photos in the documents.

As for Chuanmei, she started discussing with several technicians how to promote the product and what support they could provide.

In short, recently, in works by Sichuan girls that resemble stories about finding relatives, official accounts have been supporting them and even jointly releasing videos for promotion.

'Brush brush'

Lin Mo's painting speed was so fast that his brushstrokes left afterimages, which amazed the rest of the group.

Zhao Yun watched from the side the whole time, occasionally handing him a glass of water, her eyes full of appreciation, even her gaze softened considerably, leaving some of the police officers in the station stunned.

At noon, Lin Mo and Chuan Mei were taken to the police station canteen, and Lin Mo's hands continued to work.

He had never had a clear understanding of this before, but today he learned that so many children had gone missing in Jiangning alone.

The stack of documents in his hand wasn't much, but it was still over a hundred. Although it was accumulated over many years, it was still a considerable number.

If there are so many in one place, he couldn't imagine the number if he looked at the whole country.

Moreover, after reviewing the information on these missing children, he discovered that while most of the previously abducted children were young children, now even teenagers were missing, which was quite outrageous.

"Come on, let's eat first, there's no rush."

Just then, Zhao Yun placed an iron plate in front of him, containing two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a bowl of egg drop soup.

"Okay, I'll eat after I finish this one," Lin Mo said without looking up, his paintbrush still in his hand.

"Seeing that your legs aren't very strong, I specially went out and bought you a pig's trotter to help you recover. You are what you eat, and it's still warm!" Zhao Yun said with a smile as she placed a braised pig's trotter on his plate.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo paused in his actions and then sighed.

"What's wrong? Don't you like pig's feet?" Zhao Yun asked curiously.

Lin Mo smiled and shook his head: "No, it's just that I've been eating a lot lately!"

Whether it's Liu Ruyan or his cousin Su He, ever since he twisted his ankle in the car accident, he's seen this thing every single day.

Although the pig's feet taste good, eating them like this is too greasy!

Besides, the saying goes, "you are what you eat," and in this day and age, these young people aren't superstitious, but almost everyone says so. It's only because his mother, Zhou Min, wasn't around, otherwise he probably would have been served a pork knuckle.

He was curious how the concept of "you are what you eat" could be universally applied across the country, and even across all age groups.

"Huh? Huh? Double standards, huh? If you don't like it, give it to me. I like it!" The Sichuan girl next to him was furious at his unwilling look.

Why is there such a big difference between those who were all invited to assist the police?
When I arrived, it was one thing that no pretty girl came to help me, but why is there a double standard in the food as well?

"Is the chicken leg in your bowl for the dog?" Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him.

The Sichuan girl pouted: "Chicken legs and pig's feet, although they are both legs, pig's feet are expensive, and they taste better!"

Lin Mo ignored this completely, quickly finished his sketch, and handed it to Zhao Yun, who was standing beside him, saying:

“I drew all the missing persons who have been missing for more than two years and are under the age of ten. I did not draw any of the missing persons who have been missing for the last two years. In two years, unless they are still infants, their appearance will not have changed much. We will rely more on your methods to find them.”

Actually, the easiest to find here are those who have been missing for many years and are now in their twenties or thirties. Because once a person reaches adulthood, and with my sketch, as long as they see relevant information online, they will recognize themselves and might even take the initiative to contact us,” Lin Mo said.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded in agreement. It was indeed true. With the widespread use of smartphones, young people all go online. As long as people are alive, if the publicity is effective, they will naturally see it and discover that it is them.

On the contrary, it is much more difficult for younger children who do not have access to mobile phones.

“Indeed, the two missing persons we found this time have been missing for many years and are now adults, so they are much easier to contact. Hopefully, we can find more this time!” Zhao Yun nodded, her mood somewhat heavy.

After the three finished eating in the cafeteria, Lin Mo quickly finished drawing the remaining photos before preparing to go back.

The Sichuan girl standing nearby was already eager to go back and announce the good news.

While Chuanmei went to get the car, the two stood at the police station entrance. Zhao Yun, supporting Lin Mo's arm, suddenly spoke:

"You and Ruyan are probably just pretending to be a couple, right?"

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
"No way? We're really together!"

"Don't lie to me. I found out a long time ago. It was Ruyan's idea for you two to announce your relationship in front of me, right? It was to dispel any thoughts I might have had. I know all of this," Zhao Yun said seriously, looking at him.

Lin Mo:
He felt a little embarrassed that his previous lie had been exposed to his face.

"You knew about this?"

Zhao Yun nodded: "Of course, I'm not stupid. Besides, your acting skills are terrible, okay? Don't say that because I'm from the criminal investigation department, my insight is sharper than that of ordinary people. Even ordinary people can guess pretty much."

I admit, I did have some other feelings for Ruyan before, but now that I know how she feels and has clearly rejected me, I've given up. Tell her this and put her mind at ease!

"Oh, that's good. Don't worry, I'll tell her," Lin Mo said with a smile.

He was in a pretty good mood because he suddenly had one less rival in love.

"And what about you?" Zhao Yun suddenly asked.

Lin Mo: "Me? What happened to me?"

"I've already been completely honest, so there's no need for you two to continue being a couple. Since that's the case, don't let her continue sitting there doing nothing, lest it hinder your future girlfriend search."
"By the way, how do you feel about me?" Zhao Yun first pointed out that there was no need for the two of them to continue their fake relationship, and then asked Lin Mo how he felt about her.

Hearing this, Lin Mo realized something was wrong.

"Ahem, well, although we were just pretending to be a couple before, I've officially become a couple now!"

Zhao Yun: ? ? ?
"You've been promoted? Are you kidding me? I was telling the truth just now. I really have given up on Ruyan!"

Lin Mo:
What I'm saying is absolutely true! And you still don't believe me?
