Chapter 290

Lin Mo was indeed feeling a bit tired, especially after listening to all those dry theories, which nearly made him collapse into the pit of fire next to him.

Good gracious,

the hypnotic effect was almost as strong as during the English classes back in school.

“Alright, I’m going to catch some sleep, and when I wake up, I’ll take over your shift. If you feel cold, there’s no need to stay on the beach. Just set up the tent on the second floor of the factory.”

“Okay, bro, you go and rest assured.”

Lin Mo stretched languidly and walked towards the aquaculture farm.

Just as he was about to enter, he saw, in a daze, a blinking red point appear in the distant sky.

An airplane?

That’s not right, is it?

How could a plane fly so low?

As Lin Mo felt puzzled, he saw the red dot in the sky getting closer and eventually it stopped on the water’s surface and approached like a ship.

Only when it got a bit closer did Lin Mo realize it was actually a seaplane, similar to the HU-16 Albatross seaplane that Sylvester Stallone would often fly in the “Suicide Squad” movies.

Zhang Li immediately became alert, his eyes tense. He approached Lin Mo and asked, “Bro, there’s some activity. Is it Tai’s people?”

“It’s possible. Go start the off-road vehicle. If something’s off, we’ll make a run for it,” Lin Mo instructed him.

“Wouldn’t it be better if I go and tell…” Zhang Li wanted Lin Mo to get in the car while he stayed to see what was happening.

Lin Mo frowned and said, “Follow my orders.”

His tone was so firm that it reminded Zhang Li of a superior officer in the army.

Zhang Li didn’t dare to defy him and said solemnly, “Okay, I got it. I’ll be in the car. If anything seems wrong, run to me and I’ll take us out of here.”

Lin Mo nodded, put on a mask and a duckbill cap.

Shortly after,

several men dressed in black, with foreign features and burly figures, disembarked from the seaplane.

Seeing Lin Mo, they walked over, and the one leading them asked very respectfully, “May I ask if you are Mr. Abyss?”

Hearing this title, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed they were indeed people from the deep web network.

“No, Mr. Abyss asked me to wait here for you.”

Getting an affirmative response, the leader took out a laptop, flipped it open, and aimed it at Lin Mo.

And on the laptop screen was Dark.

He said with a smile, [It so happens we have members over there, so we’ll have them pick it up on the way. I hope we haven’t disturbed your rest, have we?]

The laptop’s camera wasn’t activated, which seemed to be a deliberate instruction from Dark.

“No, you’ve come at the right time,” Lin Mo nodded and motioned to the men in black to follow him, saying, “Come with me.”

Lin Mo led them into the abalone farm and showed them where the treasure chest was.

The men in black got down to work, and it wasn’t long before they had loaded all the treasure chests onto the seaplane.

Dark, in the laptop, said, [Please be patient for the good news. If there’s any progress, I’ll notify you.]

[Also, I have to tell you, even if these jewels sell for two hundred million dollars or more, it’ll only be enough to kick-start the plan. There will definitely be a need for more investment and funds in the future, so prepare yourself for that.]

Lin Mo: [I understand. Do your best, and don’t worry about the money.]

After finishing, Lin Mo watched the group of men in black board the seaplane again, and in a short while, they had taken off and vanished over the vast sea.

Lin Mo paused for a moment, took a deep breath, walked to the off-road vehicle, and pulled open the door. Zhang Li was watching him with tension.

“Don’t be nervous, it all went smoothly. It’s over now.”

Seeing Zhang Li’s tense look, Lin Mo said with a smile and then asked, “Are you sleepy now?”

Zhang Li shook his head: “I’ve just woken up, not sleepy.”

“Then let’s go. We’re going to return the car now and then sail the fishing boat back home.” Lin Mo couldn’t wait to leave any longer and, climbing into the off-road vehicle, said, “I haven’t seen your sister-in-law and your niece for several days, I really miss them.”

Hearing this, Zhang Li’s tension eased somewhat, and he also said with a smile, “Bro, it’s rare to see someone as capable and devoted as you. Sister-in-law is really lucky.”

Lin Mo laughed, “You’ll be rich in the future too, so think carefully. If you’re going to be with my sister, you can’t be unfaithful, otherwise, I, as her brother, won’t be pleased.”

“Of course, if you don’t marry her, then you’re free to play around, that’s your choice.”

Lin Mo was discussing this with Zhang Li simply to make him relax, not to be so uptight.

Hearing Lin Mo’s words, Zhang Li replied very firmly, “Bro, rest assured, I swear, if I really end up with Siyu, I will never do anything to betray her, never be unfaithful. If I ever break these words, may I be struck by lightning!”

Lin Mo slowly closed his eyes and said while pretending to doze off, “Swearing is useless. If swearing were effective, there wouldn’t be so many jerks in the world. Anyway, I’ll see how you behave in the future!”

Zhang Li nodded vigorously.

By the time they returned to the dock, dawn had just begun to break.

Lin Mo and his party returned the car, then took a taxi back to the abalone farm, and afterward, they sailed the fishing boat towards Northern Sea City.

After several hours of travel, by the time they reached the second-hand fishing boat market, it was nearly noon.

Lin Mo returned the rented fishing boat and other equipment to the owner, got his deposit back, and then got into the car they had rented in Lingui City.

Whether it was returning the car or the boat, Lin Mo wasn’t short of money; he could have paid the breach of contract fee, but that could have caused trouble or even destroyed a false identity, which wasn’t necessary at all.
