Chapter 177

But it was worth a try!

The advantage of doing so was that it could gather as much information as possible about the Lvkai Group, the hidden enemy, and Chen Shanhe.

If he really could collect enough, compelling intelligence, then by using the Deep Web, and passing it into the hands of Chen Shanhe’s rivals, perhaps he could pull off a move to ‘swallow the tiger and expel the wolf,’ using one to eliminate the other, and thereby ensure his own safety and that of his family in this stormy situation.

Of course, this was just one of Lin Mo’s plans, not the whole thing.

To deal with such a big shot, Lin Mo had thought of every possible strategy he could.

He had made many preparations and taken many insurances!

Anyway, no matter what, Lin Mo would not let himself, or his family, fall into that passive whirlpool of danger again!

The dose of anesthetic that Du Nanxue administered to Chen Kainan wasn’t large, and Chen Kainan woke up quite quickly.

Seeing Lin Mo standing in front of him, he once again struggled to resist, to escape, to speak.

Unfortunately,

all of it was futile.

The corners of Lin Mo’s mouth rose slightly beneath his mask, and he said, “Don’t be alarmed, I’m just facilitating a meeting between you and your father.” What?

Meet… his own father?

This…

Chen Kainan forced himself to calm down and quickly pondered what this mysterious man’s words could possibly mean?

Was he after money?

Was he finally going to demand a ransom?

If it was about money, then Chen Kainan felt much more relieved.

His family had money, as much as was needed!

Lin Mo ignored him, opened that special software downloaded from the Deep Web, entered Chen Shanhe’s phone number, and sent out a message.

[Hello, Elder Mr. Chen, we are from the Abyss Organization. Here is some information about Chen Kainan that I think you would find very interesting (click on this link within five minutes, and you will be able to see Chen Kainan)]

The security level of the Deep Web software was affirmed by the Intelligence System, so Lin Mo wasn’t worried about IP decryption or being traced back.

If even the Intelligence System couldn’t be trusted, then Lin Mo couldn’t have made it to where he was today.

Now, what he had to do, was to obscure Chen Shanhe’s investigative direction, delaying or erasing the possibility of him finding Lin Mo’s family.

If this method was feasible, it would be the simplest way to handle things!

It was good for him,

and actually good for Chen Shanhe as well!

Otherwise, everyone would have a hard time!

While sending the message, Lin Mo also attached a photo of Chen Kainan as he was now.

After doing these,

Lin Mo put on a Jing opera mask with a flowery face that he had prepared in advance, opened the video with the software, and the camera was aimed at Chen Kainan tied to the iron chair, quietly waiting for the fish to bite.

At the same time,

in Rakshasa City, Qinglong Mountain.

Most people might not know that despite being a plain city, Rakshasa City actually has many famous mountains.

About 11 kilometers north of Xijiang, Xijiang Town is one of them, Qinglong Mountain.

The mountain is covered with lush vegetation, composed of rhyolite and andesite basalt, with cliffs on the east slope that are dozens of meters high.

It’s quite a niche tourist spot.

And hidden in the dense forests on the back half of Qinglong Mountain, there’s a rather secluded villa complex. These villas are built against the mountain, hidden among the trees, and are extremely hard for outsiders to find.

Even if a helicopter flew overhead, it could only get a rough view.

Use a detector to detect?

Sorry…

There are cutting-edge jammers everywhere here; you simply can’t detect anything!

As for drones or the like, once they fly here, they can be made to lose control!

After Chen Kainan’s incident, the Chen family left their original suburban villa and moved into Qinglong Mountain, braced for the other dangers that might come at any time.

At this moment,

inside a villa, in an antique study room,

Chen Shanhe sat behind an old, broad desk of golden phoebe wood, listening to the report of two subordinates, with a dark countenance.

Once the two had finished speaking, Chen Shanhe slightly lifted his head with an indifferent gaze towards the two middle-aged men in suits in front of him.

His eyes were calm and profound, at a glance seeming like an ordinary elderly man; but upon closer inspection, one would find something unsettling, as if he could see through all the secrets of the world.

At this moment, the study was filled with an indescribable aura.

The two middle-aged men in suits bowed their heads slightly, not daring to make eye contact.

After a long while, just as they were about to be overwhelmed by this oppressive pressure, Chen Shanhe’s deep and resonant voice slowly rose: “So, you’ve investigated for so long just to tell me you’ve found nothing?”

This…

The two exchanged glances, their expressions turning to panic in an instant.

Upon closer inspection, one of the men in suits had a long scar on his face, the very Biao who had orchestrated the accident.

The other man had also been seen by Lin Mo at Mingyuan Lake while fishing, a trusted subordinate and personal bodyguard of Chen Shanhe.

He quickly bowed his head, “Elder Chen, we are still working hard to investigate, and we will… we will bring Mr. Chen back to you safe and sound as quickly as possible!”

“Useless,” Chen Shanhe said blandly, for he had never pinned his hopes on the two incompetents before him—they were just a visible part of his power. He continued, “This is not the first time you two have given me the same talk.. I have handed over all the resources of the Chen Family that can be mobilized to you, and yet, after such a long time, you haven’t found a single piece of information?”
