Chapter 27 Overjoyed

Soon, Daisy brought Su Mo to the familiar examination room. Inside, Fan Wu was sitting there, head wrapped in bandages, propping his chin up with his hand and groaning in pain.

At this moment, Daisy said indifferently, "Fan Wu, you can take off the clothes and change back."

Fan Wu shuddered at her words, turning his head to look at Su Mo with a mournful expression.

"Brother, you're finally back! I thought you weren't coming back. If you hadn't, I wouldn't know how to explain things. But wait, why did you come back? This matter should be over. The black hole incident has already been confirmed."

"I came back to finish my confinement, so you wouldn't be in trouble."

"Wait, damn it, isn't that just shooting yourself in the foot? You revealed the black hole incident. Doesn't that mean your sneaking out has been exposed?"

Fan Wu suddenly realized.

"That's right. Not only is it exposed, but Auglas, Li Ruiqi, and Lord Sperber all know."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"It's over. My career ends here. Knowing the law and breaking it..."

Fan Wu looked utterly dejected.

Daisy said coldly, "Have you said enough?"

Hearing Daisy's words, Fan Wu immediately reacted and quickly said to Daisy, "Officer Daisy, you can't sell me out at this critical moment. You have to protect me."

"Ahem, my unauthorized escape wasn't your fault. If the higher-ups investigate, just push it all on me. I'll take full responsibility," Su Mo coughed and said. No matter what, they had helped him.

Fan Wu said to Su Mo with a mournful face, "Brother, you've performed a great service. Of course, the higher-ups won't do anything to you. But we're in deep trouble. To put it bluntly, as members of the Black and White Institution, letting people out without authorization is a serious crime, and knowing the law and breaking it is even worse. These are matters of principle."

"Fan Wu, that's enough."

Daisy interrupted Fan Wu's words.

Fan Wu immediately shut his mouth.

Daisy turned to Su Mo and said, "According to the regulations, you need to continue your confinement until the end of the seven days. If there are any special orders from above, I'll notify you as soon as possible. As for the remaining matters, you don't need to worry about them. We, as Black and White Institution investigators, have our own principles and integrity."

Hearing Daisy's words, Fan Wu's expression was extremely complicated. His mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end, he closed it.

Su Mo naturally understood the meaning behind Daisy's words, and he sincerely admired her.

Just then, a heavy and powerful sound of footsteps came.

Su Mo and the others subconsciously looked over, only to see Sperber and an old man with a hooked nose, fierce eyes, and wearing a black and white uniform appear at the door.

"Chief Investigator Walifa."

Fan Wu felt like he was about to die. The Black and White Institution's chief investigator had arrived in person!

Within the entire Black and White Institution, everyone feared Walifa more than they feared Sperber and the others.

Walifa took a deep breath, his expression livid, and said, "Fan Wu, Daisy, you two go and accept the investigation yourselves."

"Yes."

Daisy replied expressionlessly.

Su Mo was just about to speak when Walifa turned to Su Mo and said, "Major Su Mo, this matter has nothing to do with you. This is our internal affair. Please do not offer any opinions."

Su Mo also had a helpless expression.

Soon, Daisy and Fan Wu left, leaving only Sperber, Walifa, and Su Mo in the interrogation room.

Walifa closed the door to the interrogation room.

Sperber said with a somewhat complicated expression, "Regarding the matter of you transmitting erroneous military information, it has now been clarified. You did not make any mistakes, so all punishments against you have been cancelled. Furthermore, we will reflect internally on this matter."

Su Mo was also very surprised. He didn't expect Sperber and the others to admit their mistakes. Of course, Su Mo wasn't foolish enough to rub salt in the wound. He coughed and said, "This matter can't be blamed on you. After all, the black hole intelligence itself is a bit difficult to accept."

"Let's not talk about that. You did very well this time. And the merit you've achieved can't be defined as ordinary merit. To put it bluntly, you saved the Obsidian and everyone on board."

Sperber directly praised him.

"Lord Sperber, you're exaggerating a bit..."

Su Mo was a little uncomfortable.

"No, I'm not joking. I'm telling the truth. If it weren't for your insistence on the warning, we would have been finished. For this reason, Auglas, Li Ruiqi, and I discussed it and unanimously agreed that the merit you've achieved is fully qualified for you to apply for the First-Class Federal Medal of Merit."

Sperber said very solemnly.

Walifa, who was beside him, also showed a hint of emotion on his old face when he heard Sperber's words, seeming very shocked.

On the other hand, Su Mo didn't react at all.

Seeing that Su Mo's expression hadn't changed, Sperber explained to Su Mo, "Don't underestimate this First-Class Federal Medal of Merit. Only four people have received it so far."

"I know, Wang Hai and the other four," Su Mo replied.

"That's right, but the meaning of their awards is different from yours," Sperber said with a smile.

"Why?" Su Mo asked with some surprise.

"Let me be honest with you, the reason why Wang Hai and the others were able to obtain the First-Class Federal Medal of Merit is that they accumulated a large amount of military merit over a long period. And have you noticed that all four of them are from different regions? To put it bluntly, the four of them are just us issuing merits to each other. The gold content isn't high. But if your First-Class Federal Medal of Merit is approved, the nature will be completely different. Your medal will be the first truly meaningful First-Class Medal of Merit in the Federation. It's a great honor."

Sperber said.

"Understood," Su Mo nodded.

"Of course, in addition to the First-Class Medal of Merit, there's also a huge reward and a military rank promotion. But all of these have to wait until we return to the Federation to apply. After all, the rewards aren't small, and they need to be approved by the Speaker of the Council. But don't worry, these rewards are basically coming from the Obsidian as a whole. We have no problems here, and the Federation's approval will definitely be no problem. You won't be shortchanged at all."

Sperber said calmly to Su Mo. He thought to himself, Su Mo came from Zone Z and was a man of Li Ruiqi's. It would be a miracle if Long Ming didn't approve it.

"Okay," Su Mo nodded in response.

"Alright, that's all I have to say. Finally, I personally want to express my gratitude to you," Sperber said sincerely.

"Lord Sperber, you don't need to be like this. It's all for the Federation," Su Mo quickly said.

"Don't say anything. I'm really thanking you personally. If it weren't for your warning, we would really be gone," Sperber said freely and easily.

"Alright," Su Mo didn't say anything more since Sperber had already said that.
