63: Chapter 63 The Hidden Dragon Group! Are Mom and Dad still alive?

"Twelve Rakshasa Knives?"

How could Zhao Zhenyuan know about this?

You have to understand, this was an heirloom left by Li Mo's father, and it had been kept safe by Aunt for so many years.

Li Mo believed that Aunt would never have spoken about this.

But why did Zhao Zhenyuan actually know about the Twelve Rakshasa Knives?

Li Mo's body stiffened for a moment, and he looked at Zhao Zhenyuan with an expression of disbelief.

However, Zhao Zhenyuan had long anticipated Li Mo's reaction, and subsequently said, "There is no need to be so surprised; I knew your father!"

Speaking of which, Zhao Zhenyuan sighed again and said, "Come to think of it, I still owe your father my life."

Li Mo was completely stunned. He had not expected the current Marshal to know his father, and what did Zhao Zhenyuan mean by owing his father a life?

In reality, Li Mo had always remembered Aunt's instructions, and after returning to camp, he had privately asked Zhang Ruxue about it.

But Zhang Ruxue had never heard of such a secretive special unit.

Li Mo could only let the matter rest, and shortly after, he received a notification from Zhang Ruxue to come to Iron Blood City to see Marshal Zhao.

But now that Zhao Zhenyuan had suddenly said he knew his father, it was simply inconceivable!

At this moment, Zhao Zhenyuan said, "It is normal for you to be surprised. When Zhang Ruxue asked me about this, I was also very surprised, because the security clearance for that special unit back then was the highest level, known only to a few military region commanders and Marshals."

"Later, I looked into your background and finally understood everything. You don't need to bother Zhang Ruxue anymore; I will tell you myself. Since you are a family member, you have the right to know."

Speaking of which, Zhao Zhenyuan looked at Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao and said, "Can they hear this?"

Xu Feng and Zheng Jiahao were quite tactful; without needing Zhao Zhenyuan to personally chase them away, they immediately walked out.

Since it was top-secret, the fewer people who knew, the better.

Afterward, Zhao Zhenyuan told Li Mo about his background.

According to Aunt's account, Li Mo's biological father, Li Le, was originally an unruly and troublesome hell-raiser, but because he was subdued by someone in The Military, he eventually joined The Military, and his temperament changed completely.

And the person who subdued Li Le was, in fact, the Marshal standing in front of Li Mo, Zhao Zhenyuan!

At that time, Zhao Zhenyuan was only a Major General in The Military. He had received orders from the Marshal to establish a special unit within The Military. For this, Zhao Zhenyuan traveled everywhere, searching for good talent that could be trained.

By chance, he came to the capital and encountered Li Le. What happens when an upright soldier and a hoodlum meet is self-evident. Li Le was no match for Zhao Zhenyuan and was beaten until he was foaming at the mouth.

But the two could be considered to have become acquainted through a fight. After getting to know Zhao Zhenyuan, Li Le entered The Military. With Zhao Zhenyuan's admonitions, Li Le quickly changed his nature and rapidly became a rising star in The Military.

He even started dating Zhao Zhenyuan's secretary at the time, who was Li Mo's biological mother, Qin Siyu. The two joined the special unit that Zhao Zhenyuan had established almost without question.

The name of this special unit was the Hidden Dragon Unit!

The main purpose of the Hidden Dragon Unit when it was first established was to eliminate traitors—similar to how Li Mo dealt with Starry Sky University—and to sweep away the enemy spies hidden within the country.

However, as the strength of the members of the Hidden Dragon Unit grew, the missions they carried out became increasingly extensive, including assassinating enemy experts, protecting our country's dignitaries, and other such critical tasks.

In other words, they were figures similar to special agents, but far more dangerous than ordinary agents.

And among the agent missions, apart from the extremely difficult ones mentioned above, there was another important task: going undercover in enemy countries.

At that time, Zhao Zhenyuan was the leader of the Hidden Dragon Unit, while Li Le and Qin Siyu were the two most outstanding agents within the organization, both executing the most difficult missions in the organization.

Hearing this, Li Mo couldn't help but exclaim, "Good heavens, is this Mr. & Mrs. Smith?"

Zhao Zhenyuan was stunned and asked, "What did you say? What Mr. & Mrs. Smith?"

Li Mo smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing. Please continue. So, how did my parents sacrifice themselves?"

"Sacrifice?" Zhao Zhenyuan suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

"Li Mo, I have never said that your parents sacrificed themselves. They just… went missing!"

These words took Li Mo by surprise. Missing? What kind of disappearance could last for a full eighteen years?

Zhao Zhenyuan told Li Mo that at the time, the Hidden Dragon Unit had encountered an extremely difficult mission; this mission was, in all likelihood, a one-way trip.

Therefore, the entire Hidden Dragon Unit used a lottery to decide who would take on this mission, and even the leader, Zhao Zhenyuan himself, participated in the draw.

Originally, the ones who drew the lots were Zhao Zhenyuan and Li Mo's biological mother, Qin Siyu. Li Le certainly wouldn't let Qin Siyu go alone, so he took Zhao Zhenyuan's place to execute that mission.

This was also the reason why Zhao Zhenyuan said he owed Li Le his life.

The result was that the two had been missing without a trace for eighteen years.

"Li Mo, I am very sorry, but I cannot tell you the specific details of that mission. This matter concerns high-level secrets, and even if you are a family member, you do not have the right to know." Zhao Zhenyuan said slowly.

Regarding this point, Li Mo could understand.

A critical mission that could cause the two most outstanding agents in The Military to execute it must be top-secret.

Then Zhao Zhenyuan paused and continued, "Before I see your parents' bodies, I will not believe that they have sacrificed themselves, so I say they are missing! That mission was said to be a one-way trip, but I think that with your parents' skills, they might not have failed to survive!"

"By the way, your uncle Li Hong was also a member of the Hidden Dragon Unit. Ever since your parents went missing, he ignored my advice and went to look for them, and in the end, he also went missing without a trace!"

"Having heard all this, do you also intend to follow in your uncle's footsteps and search for your parents' whereabouts?"

Zhao Zhenyuan knew that the reason Li Mo was asking about his parents' whereabouts was likely because he had learned something from Aunt, so he threw the difficult question back to Li Mo.

Top-secret mission, one-way trip—hearing these eight words, one knew the difficulty Li Mo would face in finding his parents.

Yet Li Mo smiled faintly at this moment, "I will search for them, but not now."

"Since you are unwilling to tell me the specific details of the mission back then, you must be hoping that I won't take action now, right?"

Li Mo had guessed Zhao Zhenyuan's thoughts. In fact, if Zhao Zhenyuan could even talk about secrets like the Hidden Dragon Unit, what else could he not talk about?

Zhao Zhenyuan refused to say it because he was afraid that the current Li Mo would be like Li Hong back then, sacrificing himself in order to find Li Le and Qin Siyu.

After learning everything, Li Mo generously took out the Twelve Rakshasa Knives.

Looking at the Twelve Rakshasa Knives, there seemed to be a look of nostalgia in Zhao Zhenyuan's eyes, and he murmured, "Seeing this thing reminds me of the brothers back then. What a pity!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhenyuan's eyes suddenly became like torches, and with a wave of his hands, all twelve magic knives were actually controlled by him!

"Your father really doted on you. Although he gave you these Twelve Rakshasa Knives, he didn't fully activate the power of the fierce beasts within them. This was because he was afraid you wouldn't be able to control them!"
