Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 501: 191, finally drew a perfect period with Chen Shanhe_2

There was no way around it,

third-rate actors were the ones shooting films, while the first-rate actors were all in officialdom.

Of course, Lin Mo was only acting out of ordinary human empathy, and certainly couldn’t be fooled by his own exquisite acting skills.

This was like seeing the corpses of one’s own kind; even if one is used to it, it would still feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Lin Mo lowered his voice and said indifferently, “Keep it down.”

His voice was not loud, but it instantly stopped Ichiro Toyota’s crying.

The office fell quiet.

Lin Mo tapped his fingertips on the desk, and calmly asked, “Tell me, what value can you bring to me?”

“If it pleases me, perhaps I could spare your life.”

His primary target to deal with was Chen Shanhe; as for others, of course, he would use them if possible, and if not, he would just clean them up completely.

Japan might not be much for America, but it was still a very important country in Asia.

Having one more card in hand was all benefits and no drawbacks.

After all, Lin Mo’s next plan was to return to Grand Xia, so having more resources at hand was a good thing.

“I… I can tell you all the state secrets of Japan, and also the news of Chen Shanhe’s family, and his subordinates.”

“That old dog Chen Shanhe has developed a very powerful force in Japan and formed four elite squads named Wind Forest Volcano Mountain; each member is the elite of the elite, and they are all fiercely loyal to Chen Shanhe.”

“If you ignore them, you are very likely to suffer an assassination attempt by them, especially Chen Shanhe’s most treasured son, Chen Ze, who is just as ruthless as Chen Shanhe.”

“He knows his father died at your hands and he will certainly seek vengeance for his father!”

“Mr. Lin, you wouldn’t want to live the rest of your life under the terrifying shadow of potential revenge, would you?”

Ichiro Toyota spoke very quickly, eagerly getting all he wanted to say out, for fear that if he spoke too slowly, Lin Mo would take direct action against him.

He thought the information he was revealing was very useful.

In Grand Xia there’s an old saying: you can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can’t guard against a thief for a thousand days, right?

Everyone wants to eliminate all the unfavorable factors in one fell swoop and then live a peaceful life.

Unfortunately…

Since he had been controlled since entering the border of America, he did not know how chaotic Japan had become.

As for those precious subordinates of Chen Shanhe, as well as the so-called Wind Forest Volcano Mountain squads, they had already been wiped out by Lin Mo.

Not just them,

including Ichiro Toyota’s family, anyone who was a threat had already been eliminated.

Lin Mo shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, “Your Highness, being the king of Japan and at the brink of life and death, I thought you would have something more profound to say. Is this all you wanted to discuss?”

“King Toyota, if Chen Shanhe could support you to power, don’t you think I could support someone else to take your place?”

“Since the ‘secrets’ from your mouth are only these things, I think you can be on your way now!”

“Take him away!”

Following Lin Mo’s command, the security personnel were no longer courteous and forcibly escorted the already collapsed Ichiro Toyota out of the office.

In the vast room, only Lin Mo and Johnson Hester were left.

Johnson Hester admired the young man not yet 40 years old; by his own strength, he had managed to achieve so much.

It was bewildering how he did it, and what kind of powerful force stood behind him?

Could it be an alien capable of mind-reading?

Johnson Hester chuckled helplessly, shaking his head to clear away those useless thoughts, and greeted with a smile, “Mr. Lin, congratulations on avenging your grudge. If there is anything the Johnson family can do for you, please feel free to command us.”

“Whether or not we can meet your requirements, the Johnson family will serve you wholeheartedly and without reservation!”

He was speaking genuinely, without a hint of flattery or courtesy.

Because Johnson Hester was very clear: only if Lin Mo was doing well could he do well, and the Johnson family could do even better.

Otherwise, in the treacherous political landscape of America, he had no confidence that he could make it to the other side.

Towards his own people, Lin Mo was also very cordial, smiling as he said, “Then I’ll thank you in advance, Duke Hester, and please rest assured, if there’s anything you need from the Abyss Organization, as long as it’s a reasonable request, I’ll help you.”

“We are friends!”

Johnson Hester nodded emphatically, “Yes, we are friends.”

The two exchanged a smile, and Lin Mo did not stay at Johnson Tower any longer than necessary, quickly heading to the underground parking lot and getting into the business car that would take him home.

In Lin Mo’s original imagination, on the day when he finally dealt with Chen Shanhe, he thought he would be extremely excited, perhaps even to the point of acting out of the ordinary.

Burst into tears?

Cry from overwhelming joy?

Feel a weight lifted off his shoulders?

Lin Mo had imagined all those scenes and thought any one of them was possible.

After all, it was a burden that had oppressed him for a full three years, and now that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, how could he not be excited, how could he not celebrate?

However, right up until he sat in the business car, Lin Mo remained very calm, far from the reactions he had once imagined.

As for why, Lin Mo didn’t know.

Deep inside, he even felt a sense of loss, an unaccustomed feeling.

Three years,

A full three years!

Nearly a thousand days and nights had gradually transformed Lin Mo into another person.

Even he was close to not understanding some of his own thoughts.

Lin Mo took out his phone, intending to get in touch with his family, when Dark’s voice suddenly came through the earpiece.

[Abyss, you did great. Congratulations on escaping the bitter sea. As a friend, may I interview you on your current feelings?]

Feelings?

As Lin Mo looked at the rapidly passing street scenes outside the car window, he pondered for a long time before finally speaking, “There aren’t any particular feelings, maybe because I fantasized about this day for so long that when it actually arrived, the excitement just wasn’t there.”

Dark laughed, [I understand, I understand. I too fantasized countless times about becoming the world’s number one hacker, but when I actually became the universally recognized number one, the target every other hacker wanted to surpass, I wasn’t as thrilled as I had imagined.]

[I used to think the goal was most important, but later I gradually realized that the journey to achieve the goal is the most precious!]

Lin Mo nodded slightly, very much agreeing with this sentiment.

He didn’t say anything more, continuously contemplating the enlightenment this phrase brought to him.

Knowing why Lin Mo was silent, Dark didn’t ask further, but joked, [Abyss, there are still some things I need to tell you.]

[The chaos in Japan might have already reached your country; I think they are all discussing it now.]

[Especially those who know Chen Shanhe fled to Japan and are aware of the grudges between you two, they will quickly connect the entire incident together.]

[And they are very likely to guess the whole course of events.]

[While they might not pose a big threat to you and probably won’t dare offend you actively, they will certainly be very cautious and wary of you.]

[If you don’t plan to return to your country in your own identity, then it doesn’t really matter, but if you intend to live in Grand Xia with your family, it might indeed be as difficult as Chen Shanhe said!]

Lin Mo had deeply pondered over the matters that Dark mentioned and knew that the situation would inevitably develop in that direction.

After all, Asia was only so large, and the relations between the countries weren’t good, each having a lot of undercover agents and intelligence personnel.

The incident in Japan was such a big issue that not only would Grand Xia’s formidable intelligence network be aware of it, but even the smaller surrounding countries probably had heard the rumors.

There was no help for it,

One can’t abstain from eating for fear of choking. Because of anxiety over others’ discussions and their guarded stance, one should not neglect dealing with the remnants of Ichiro Toyota and Chen Shanhe.

That would be the biggest disadvantage.

Lin Mo replied with a smile, “Dark, I’ve already anticipated what you mentioned. Right now, I can’t be bothered to think about those hair-losing matters. I just want to properly celebrate this hard-earned victory with my family!!!”
