Um?
Is there a mission?
Upon hearing Lin Mo’s words, both of them suddenly perked up.
“Son, you tell us what we need to do.”
“We will definitely complete the mission!”
Seeing the two elders so eager, Lin Mo smiled and said, “The villa we are currently staying in is rented temporarily. We obviously can’t live here forever.”
“So, I was hoping the two of you could take some time to look for houses in other places, something more concealed and low-profile, either to buy or to rent is fine. We can move there as a family later on.”
He thought about it and then added, “It’s best to buy a big house and purchase it under a completely new identity. Later, I will give each of you a new ID card. You can use this new identity to buy the house.”
Living in a seaside villa intended for tourists every day was indeed not ordinary.
After all, there were exactly nine members in their family, a number matching the wanted order, which could easily arouse suspicion from others.
“Okay, that’s easy, leave it to us!” Li Jinshan agreed without hesitation.
Lin Changshui also nodded in agreement.
Afterward, the family finished breakfast and started cleaning the kitchen.
Zhang Li went to pack his personal belongings, while Lin Mo returned to his own bedroom.
At this time, his wife Li Jinwen was teaching Li Xiaoxiao how to write and read.
Although they couldn’t go to school for the time being, both Li Jinwen and Lin Mo didn’t want their daughter’s education to lag behind.
Therefore, during this time, they would take turns teaching Lin Xiaoxiao.
Especially her mother-in-law, Zhao Huixian, who used to be a teacher at a key high school, was naturally adept at tutoring children of Lin Xiaoxiao’s age.
Lin Mo stood at the doorway, waved his hand and whispered, “Wife, come out for a second.”
Li Jinwen, hearing the voice, nodded, and said to her daughter, “Mumu, you keep writing. Mommy will have a word with daddy.”
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded obediently and said, “Okay, you go, Mommy.”
Li Jinwen stood up, walked out of the room and gently closed the door behind her, looking at Lin Mo with an eager expression, she asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen? Did Chen Shanhe come looking for us?”
“How could that be possible!”
Lin Mo shook his head with a wry smile, “You’re thinking too much, there is something, but not bad news, I need to go out for a couple of days soon to deal with some matters with Xing Jiang.”
Go out?
Upon hearing Lin Mo’s words, Li Jinwen’s mind involuntarily flashed back to the reasons Lin Mo had to go out the last couple of times.
One was to deal with the major trouble, Chen Kainan,
The other was to confront Chen Shanhe alone…
Although Lin Mo didn’t share too many details with her, just hearing about the events that took place those days was heart-wrenching for Li Jinwen.
And now he had to go out again…
Could it be?
“Rest assured, this time it’s different from before.” Seeing his wife’s worried expression, Lin Mo could roughly guess what she was thinking and reassured her, “This time it’s purely because I’ve found a lucrative opportunity and plan to make some money.”
“And it won’t be too far, just on Qianye Island where we’ve been before.”
Li Jinwen, her eyes reddening, couldn’t help but worry and tentatively asked, “Can I come with you?”
She would rather face the storm with Lin Mo than stay at home, filled with fear.
“You’re pregnant, it’s not convenient for you to go out, once you’ve had the baby, I’ll take you with me wherever I go.” Lin Mo continued to comfort her, “I promise you, there is truly no danger this time, and I’m going with Xing Jiang.”
Li Jinwen bit her lower lip, her expression pleading, “Can we… not go? Are we short of money? We could cut back on expenses… It’s okay to be a bit poorer!”
On such matters, she really couldn’t trust Lin Mo.
Because she was certain, if it was something extremely dangerous, Lin Mo would definitely not tell her!
“We’re not short on money,” Lin Mo shook his head, then, placing his hands on Li Jinwen’s shoulders, he said earnestly, “But my wife, have you ever thought that we can’t live under the radar for the rest of our lives, can we?”
“Even if we could, what about Xiaoxiao?”
“After a year, what lies will we use to deceive her?”
“And the baby in your belly, do you also want him to live a life on the run from the moment he is born?”
“You wouldn’t want that either, would you?”
“So, we have to find a way to deal with the trouble. Besides, because of Chen Shanhe’s actions of putting out a warrant for our whole family and locking down East Sea City, he’s being questioned now, which means the pursuit for us has also slowed down a lot.”
“I assure you, I will not do anything dangerous, and you must take good care of yourself. I’ll be back in a few days.”
Lin Mo said a lot. Li Jinwen listened quietly.
In the end, though her heart was full of reluctance, she could only nod and agree to let Lin Mo leave.
After all, the issues raised by Lin Mo were very real.
They could hide for a lifetime.
But Lin Xiaoxiao couldn’t, and neither could the child in her womb.
After a while, Zhang Li got his personal items ready, and he and Lin Mo left the house together.
At Lin Mo’s specific behest, the family didn’t come out to see them off, but instead stood at the second-floor window, silently watching the two of them go.
Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head and asked innocently, “Mommy, what’s Daddy going to do?”
Li Jinwen stroked her little head and forced a wistful smile, saying, “The show crew said our family has been performing really well lately. Daddy is going to receive an award for you.”
“As long as you behave well, Daddy will be back soon with the award.”
Lin Xiaoxiao asked excitedly, “Ah? Really!?”
