Chapter 91

Translator: 549690339

Family is a man’s Achilles’ heel.

Lin Mo was no exception.

If his parents had indeed suffered persecution that led to their current plight, then even if it cost him his life, Lin Mo would definitely not let it go!

This was his bottom line!

“If I didn’t misunderstand Zhang Li’s words… who would want to harm my family?”

Lin Mo stood in front of the transparent glass of the ICU ward, his expression extremely somber, as he pondered this question.

However, he wasn’t blinded by rage.

Instead, he was exceptionally calm and began to analyze the situation bit by bit.

His mother had mentioned before that Zhang Li used to be a motor transport soldier in the army, and even his mother, who suffered greatly from motion sickness, couldn’t help but praise him, saying Zhang Li’s driving was very steady and had significantly lessened her motion sickness.

This indicated that Zhang Li was definitely highly skillful in driving, far beyond the ordinary.

And a motor transport soldier trained by professional troops, who expressed such concerns… it didn’t seem like an unfounded suspicion.

There must have been something that made Zhang Li suspicious before or at the time of the car accident, causing him to sense that something was amiss.

Zhang Li was now in a deep coma, and it was uncertain when he would wake up, so it was unlikely they would be able to get more useful information from him in the short term.

“If we assume that there is indeed a perpetrator behind this car accident, how should I go about unearthing him?”

Better safe than sorry, Lin Mo began to contemplate this question and quickly came up with several conclusions.

Just then,

The nurse stepped out of the ICU and, looking at the still-distracted Lin Mo, sighed softly and said, “Sir, I’m going to turn off the lights; it’s better for the patient.”

As a nurse in the ICU ward, she had seen more deaths over the years than the number of times she had applied makeup.

But the man in front of her was a little different.

Rumor had it that four of his relatives were involved in a tragic car accident and were rushed to the hospital. How excruciating that must feel in his heart?

She couldn’t even dare to imagine what she would do if such a thing happened to her.

She would definitely collapse!

Lin Mo was momentarily taken aback, his train of thought interrupted. He turned to look at the nurse, nodded, and said, “It’s okay, you can turn them off.”

“Okay, take care of yourself and try to rest early. If you need anything, come to the nurse’s station; I’ll be on night shift tonight.”

The nurse kindly reminded him, then dimmed the lights in the ICU to the lowest setting.

Before leaving, she took one more look at Lin Mo, her eyes filled with sadness and sympathy, but she said no more, sighed lightly, and left.

The light in the ICU dimmed, leaving only the flashing indicator lights of various medical devices and some very faint beeping sounds.

The transparent glass became reflective.

Looking at his haggard reflection in the glass, his eyes were bloodshot. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and continued the analysis he had been working on, reasoning further.

“First, the assailant might have targeted Zhang Li…”

“In that case, if I want to know the truth, I need to delve into Zhang Li’s personal background and his social network. While this may not lead directly to the perpetrator, it could at least provide the Intelligence System with more sources of information.”

“Second, the assailant didn’t target Zhang Li, but instead my parents and my sister…”

As this thought flashed through his mind, Lin Mo immediately linked it to a series of events.

Lvkai Group, defaulting on construction payments…

His father had tried many times to get the money to no avail. A few days ago, when his father went to Lvkai Group to ask for the money, he encountered a leadership inspection in the building. He was even invited by the general manager of Lvkai Group to have tea in his office, where the overdue payments were promptly settled.

Chen Kainan, chairman of Lvkai Group, a prodigious young businessman featured in Forbes, hit and killed a college student…

“Could it be related to Lvkai Group? Or, to the chairman of Lvkai Group?”

“But the question remains, would a business tycoon, a favored son of heaven with an extremely terrifying and powerful background, create a car accident to kill someone over a mere couple hundred thousand in project funds?” Thinking this far, Lin Mo found it hard to imagine.

Not to mention in the eyes of those real big bosses, even in Lin Mo’s current view, a couple hundred thousand is not considered a lot of money.

How could such a large group possibly commit such an act over a couple hundred thousand in project funds?

Lin Mo couldn’t fathom the motive behind it.

It was too irrational!

“Or could it be that something else unkown to me happened when my dad visited the Lvkai Group that day?”

With too few clues, it was impossible to make sense of it all.

Suddenly, Lin Mo entertained the idea of going to the Lvkai Group starting from tomorrow, even applying for a job and working there, until he obtained useful information.

But this thought only lingered for an instant before Lin Mo completely dismissed it.

What a joke!

If this matter truly had something to do with Lvkai Group, how was such behaviour any different from walking into a trap?

Besides being incredibly powerful in its own right, Lvkai Group’s chairman, Chen Kainan, might very well be connected to Chen Shanhe!

Just this alone was not something the current Lin Mo could contend with!

“Huh…”

He exhaled deeply.

Lin Mo calmed down.

“Going straight to Lvkai Group is definitely not a safe idea, it’s too foolish, but I have the Intelligence System. I can obtain information about them in many other ways without having to go to the site myself, such as looking at some pictures of their company, personal pictures, researching their profiles, and so on….”

“All these must be considered to acquire information about them. It’s just, the odds of obtaining information about this car accident might be quite small.”

After pondering for a moment, Lin Mo continued his reasoning, “Besides that, there’s a third possibility, that the killer was coming for me.”

“I’ve offended quite a few people recently, but none seem capable of orchestrating today’s car accident.”

Zhang Ziyue’s father—Zhang Honghao?

I used the Abyss Organization to pass information that led to his wife’s infidelity and the revelation that his child of over a decade was not his biological offspring.

Dishing out the same fate to me in return for revealing his identity, sending me a catastrophe of home and family loss?

It seemed like a reasonable motive, but on closer examination, this possibility could be ruled out.

On one hand, Zhang Honghao was trying to contact me, and on the other, the Intelligence System had provided information a few days ago; Zhang Honghao was hoping for my help to obtain dirt on a rival to help him win an election.

A man whose wife cheated, whose child of over ten years turned out not to be his own, and who underwent such a family tragedy, started trying to get a promotion through various means in just a couple of days. Would such a person risk it all in a vendetta against me?

Theoretically, it’s unlikely!

Even if he really wanted a do-or-die battle, with Zhang Honghao’s little power and tricks, it would probably be very hard to arrange such a precisely targeted car accident.

And as for Liu Meihong and the like, they’re even more out of consideration.

“At this point, the second possibility seems to be more likely, and that is also the direction I will focus my investigation on.”

“Starting tomorrow, begin the investigation!”

“Dad, Mom, rest well and heal, wake up soon. If someone truly harmed you, then no matter who it is, your son will make them pay a price a thousand times, a million times more severe!”

“Let him…never recover!!”
