Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 385: 145, wow! Lin Mo and Chen Shanhe met in the elevator! _7

Lin Mo stood alone in front of the grand floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, enjoying the bustling view of Northern Sea City below through the glass.

“As long as I can leave Northern Sea smoothly tomorrow, leave Grand Xia, hide abroad for a while, and let things ferment on their own, Chen Shanhe’s matter should be considered over,” he said.

“But… will it really go that smoothly?”

Lin Mo, gazing at his own reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window, couldn’t help but frown.

He had the feeling that things were going too smoothly.

Additionally, the fact that Chen Shanhe hadn’t been captured was a significant disappointment.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Chen Shanhe…

Where could he have escaped to?

As long as Chen Shanhe was not removed, he would not be able to rest easy!

“It seems I’ll have to pay more attention to Chen Shanhe in the future, and have the Intelligence System generate his hiding address…”

“This old fox must be disposed of quickly!”

Lin Mo pondered deeply.

He turned his head and saw a pack of his father-in-law’s cigarettes on the coffee table. As if possessed, he pulled one out, lit it, and took a deep drag.

With the smoke rising, Lin Mo’s thoughts also began to drift uncontrollably.

At this moment, if the camera zoomed out, it would reveal a very coincidental occurrence————

At this minute, at this second, Chen Shanhe, whom Lin Mo was constantly thinking about, was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room above, his expression complex as he too admired the nighttime view of Northern Sea City.

And likewise, it would probably never occur to Chen Shanhe in his wildest dreams that Lin Mo, the man he was so eager to find, was right there below him at this very moment.

What filled his mind now was how to find Lin Mo, who had changed his appearance, as well as his family, in the vast Northern Sea City.

“Lin Mo does not know I am in Northern Sea City, so his most likely next move is to escape overseas and then, like a spectator beneath the stage, quietly await the next move in the play he has directed,” he thought.

“The international airport is already under strict surveillance, and even with a disguise, it would be impossible for him to escape easily.”

“Is this cat and mouse game really going to end this way?” Chen Shanhe suddenly felt a sense of regret.

After all, encountering an opponent like this in the years as life nears its end is very rare.

But the trouble Lin Mo had caused was too great, and the damage to the Chen Family too severe; Lin Mo could not be allowed to continue existing by any means necessary.

“Lin Mo…” Chen Shanhe would unconsciously ponder what Lin Mo might be doing at the moment.

He took out his phone, found the website that Lin Mo had contacted him with, and entered it to discover, to his surprise, that it was still operational.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Shanhe, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, pressed the call button.

….

Buzz…buzz…buzz…

Lin Mo’s phone began to vibrate in a distinct manner.

A message from the deep web?

Who could it be?

Du Nanxue, perhaps?

Maybe she wants to go back and see her family?

Lin Mo snapped back to reality and pulled out his phone. As he unlocked it with a different set of gestures and skillfully entered the deep web app, he couldn’t help but speculate.

But when he saw who was making the voice call, Lin Mo’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Chen Shanhe?

Lin Mo was indeed surprised; he hadn’t expected Chen Shanhe to call him at this time and wondered what it meant.

However, Lin Mo had been wanting to chat with him too, to listen to how this once powerful figure was feeling now after such dramatic ups and downs.

With a flick of his finger across the screen, Lin Mo, looking detached, accepted the voice call.

“Oh? I didn’t expect you to actually answer. So now, should I call you Mr. Abyss or Mr. Lin?” came the somewhat surprised voice of Chen Shanhe.

Lin Mo calmly replied, “Either is fine. I also didn’t expect you, Elder, to still be in the mood to contact me.”

Their conversation was incredibly calm, as if they were old friends who hadn’t seen each other for years chatting casually.

Chen Shanhe said, “I watched your live broadcast today. I suppose you were very excited and happy at the time. Tens of millions of people online at the same time, Mr. Abyss, that’s quite an ambitious move.”

“You are formidable, probably the most troublesome opponent I have faced throughout the years, overturning the power I built up over decades in just one night.”

Lin Mo smiled and took another drag of his cigarette, looking down at the bustling street scene below as he replied, “Elder Mr. Chen, I’ll say it again, from the moment you opposed the Abyss Organization, this outcome was destined.”

“But you are quite admirable. Despite the situation reaching this point, you seem hardly affected by it.”

Affected?

One could say yes, yet it seemed not that important.

“Lin Mo, do you know? Even though you’ve ruined my enterprise, I don’t hate you. I even wanted to give you a chance,” continued Chen Shanhe, looking at the same scene as Lin Mo. “You won’t be able to return to your peaceful former life. Rather than that, why not join forces with me? Together, we can work for the welfare of Grand Xia’s people, how about it?”

Work for the people’s welfare?

That’s a bit of an overstatement.

Lin Mo was dumbfounded and asked, “Elder Chen, when you speak of ‘working for the welfare,’ do you mean secretly altering contracts, cheating delivery riders and businesses, or constructing unfinished buildings to take away the hard-earned money of homebuyers saved over a lifetime?”

“I may not know whether I can return to my previous life, but let me make it clear to you, the Abyss doesn’t like friends like you.”

Chen Shanhe wasn’t surprised by Lin Mo’s response and carried on, “It’s because they’re looking for a bargain, that’s why they get cheated. They get cheated when buying lottery tickets, when investing in stocks, and even when storing money in the bank. Since they get tricked anyway, why shouldn’t I take my turn at deceiving them?”
