Lin Mo was seated in a special aircraft of the Air Force, and naturally, it landed at the exclusive military airport of the Air Force.
As soon as the plane ca to a stop, the crew imdiately got busy. It didn’t take long before they had opened the hatch and attached the stairway.
The flight attendant approached Lin Mo and said, "Mr. Lin, we have arrived at East Sea Military Airport. So officials are waiting for you below. Would you like to get off the plane now?"
Officials coming to pick him up?
This was sothing Lin Mo had not expected.
He nodded and replied, "Thank you for the hard work. Let’s go down."
The flight attendant led the way and Lin Mo followed behind, descending from the plane via the stairway.
Parked beside the runway was a Coaster business van bearing the license plate East-00001. Several n dressed in officer uniforms were standing at the front of the vehicle.
As Lin Mo ca down, they hurried over to et him.
The man in the lead was about fifty years old, of thin build and tall stature, at least one ter eighty-five, with a pair of gold-rimd glasses. He looked refined and gentle.
One could tell by his deanor that he was a civil servant, and a high-ranking one at that.
He walked at the forefront, with the others following two or three paces behind, all converging towards Lin Mo.
When both parties t, the man with the gold-rimd glasses extended his hand first, smiling as he said, "Comrade Lin Mo, hello. I am the person in charge of East Sea. My na is Xia Dong, and on behalf of the East Sea leadership, I welco you."
Even though Dongqing did not understand why a criminal who had surrendered, in less than two short months, had suddenly transford into a research personnel to be taken seriously.
But since the orders ca from above, there must be a reason.
Lin Mo also reached out his hand courteously, smiling, "Hello, Director Xia. Thank you for making the trip."
"It’s our duty," Xia Dong responded very politely, without any hint of superiority due to his status.
Another person ca forward. He was around forty years old, wearing a crisp military uniform with two bars and four stars on his shoulder, signifying the rank of an Air Force colonel.
He also stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "Comrade Lin Mo, hello. I am the person responsible for the Air Force in East Sea, dispatched on special orders to welco you."
"Additionally, the security arrangents during your stay in East Sea will be handled by the two officers behind ."
"They are both elite mbers of the Air Force Special Warfare Company and will ensure your safety."
Lin Mo glanced over his shoulder to see a young man and woman both dressed in military uniforms with the rank of second lieutenant. Though they appeared young, they exuded a strong sense of presence, the kind that cos with experiencing life-and-death situations.
Lin Mo had most frequently encountered rcenaries abroad, and he had many top-tier special forces soldiers from various countries under his command, which is why he could keenly detect the competence of the two individuals.
The female second lieutenant saluted and said in a firm tone, "My codena is Violet. I am responsible for your safety during your stay in East Sea. I hope you will cooperate with our work."
The male second lieutenant also saluted and said, "My codena is Yanwang. Pleased to et you."
Lin Mo was prepared for the fact that he would have protection, but he hadn’t anticipated that two special forces soldiers would be assigned to him.
Or rather, to keep him under surveillance.
This made Lin Mo feel a bit uncomfortable, and he turned to the Air Force official, asking, "Is it possible for to decline your protection?"
The Air Force official seed troubled, but Director Xia explained with a smile, "Comrade Lin Mo, your current confidentiality level is S-level. According to regulations from the higher-ups, military protection is required for A-level confidential personnel when they go out or are at work."
"Please rest assured, they are only here to protect you and will not interfere in any aspect of your life, even if you do sothing less than reputable in their presence. They will keep it absolutely confidential."
"After all, you have a high profile on the internet, and many with ill intentions are watching every move you make, so I think it’s better to have bodyguards."
Lin Mo completely believed that the special forces wouldn’t leak information.
He had co into contact with so special forces overseas, and when they were on protection detail, even if the protectee was committing a cri, they would not report it to the military or police, nor would they intervene to stop it.
They would strictly adhere to their orders and ensure the safety of the individual under their protection.
Lin Mo explained again, "I am just accustod to freedom and genuinely dislike having soone following ."
"Maybe we could..."
Before he could finish, the female special forces soldier, Violet, interrupted, "Comrade Lin Mo, if you do not like to see us, we can protect you covertly, ensuring that we will not disrupt your normal work and life."
Covert protection?
Upon deeper consideration, Lin Mo thought that covert protection might be worse than being protected openly.
There were already enough people lurking in the shadows around him, and Lin Mo feared that one day they might collide, leading to an awkward situation for both sides.
Alright,
If they wished to follow, then let them; after all, Lin Mo had no significant business in East Sea City on this visit—it was purely to check in on his parents and child.
Seeing Lin Mo acquiesce to having bodyguards, it was still Director Xia who broke the silence, suggesting, "It will take us about half an hour to reach Zhangzhuang from here. Let’s get in the car; missing the New Year would be less than ideal."
Having no other choice, Lin Mo gave up the argunt and followed the mayor onto the Coaster business van.
