Chapter 183:122, Lin Mo VS Chen Shanhe!_3
Being able to ensure the empire’s stable operation without interfering in anything was the ultimate pursuit of Chen Shanhe.
If it weren’t for the issue with Chen Kainan, he would rarely visit the headquarters at Qinglong Mountain, spending his days leisurely fishing, reading, playing chess, practicing tai chi, and practicing calligraphy.
A woman from the Tiger Group was the first to frown and ask, “So, the encryption methods used by the opponent can’t even be cracked by your Hawk Group?”
Wang Xun explained, “It’s not that we can’t crack it, but rather that the opponent has set up a very large number of base stations, and most of the IPs are overseas, making it very difficult to track down.”
“The technical backbone of the group is analyzing it, and we should have results within about three days.”
“In addition, we have also used the latest image analysis technology to analyze the people appearing in the video and obtained the following results.”
“The one wearing a flower-faced Peking Opera mask in the video is a man, about 30 years old, wears size 4.1 shoes, is approximately 175 cm tall, and weighs about 65 kg.”
“The opponent has covered themselves very well, not exposing even an inch of skin, so we don’t have much information.”
“Based on the available information, we can tentatively conclude that this man has excellent psychological quality, may have received similar training, or may have served in the military.”
“As for the Abyss Organization he mentioned, we haven’t found any clues yet.”
After Wang Xun finished speaking, the conference room once again fell into a stalemate, with everyone attempting to connect these clues.
But no matter how much they thought about it, no suitable subject came to mind.
Most importantly, they were unable to determine the motives of the man in the video wearing a mask.
It felt like everything was unknown, shrouded in fog, with no clues and no motives, making it too difficult to proceed.
After about a minute of silence, Pu Yuanbai from the Bear Team spoke up, “We might have been looking in the wrong direction; there’s another point that seems even more suspicious to me.”
All eyes turned to him.
Pu Yuanbai continued, “Mr. Chen has been missing for a full two months. If he fell into the hands of this so-called Abyss Organization from the start, why did they wait two months to contact us?”
“What did they do during those more than 60 days?”
“If we can solve this mystery, then we will be a big step closer to finding Mr. Chen and the members of the Abyss Organization.”
“Elder Chen, you always teach us that being still is better than hasty action, and that only those who can keep their composure can achieve great things.” “Since the Abyss Organization has made demands of you, the likelihood that they have killed Mr. Chen is probably not large at the moment.”
“And all our actions for now must be sufficiently covert; there should be no significant movements on the surface. Instead, we should see what exactly the Abyss Organization wants you to do and then decide on the next steps?”
“There’s some truth to that,” Chen Shanhe nodded in satisfaction and then issued the final directive: “If the other groups have no objections, let’s do as the Bear Team suggests for now. Everyone else continues to investigate the external forces, gradually retracting towards Rakshasa City and use this opportunity to send a warning to those people out there.”
“This time, I want people outside to know what it means to oppose me, Chen Shanhe!”
“No matter how powerful the opponent is!”
At the same time.
Elsewhere.
After handling his official business, Lin Mo moved Chen Kainan back to the basement and then left Guanghua Village, carefully avoiding all road surveillance on foot amidst the snow, found the rental vehicle, and returned to the hotel he was staying at.
Although according to the Intelligence System, the self-built house at No. 139 in Huaguang Village was very secretive and impossible to be traced.
But it’s always best to err on the side of caution.
The necessary precautions shouldn’t be overlooked.
Just about to take the elevator upstairs, the front desk hotel clerk stopped him, informing Lin Mo there was a package for him.
A package?
Startled for a moment, Lin Mo realized it must be the goods from the deep web that had arrived.
So soon?
There were three packages in total: one document bag and two very ordinary cardboard boxes, with very common postal express delivery slips on them, yet no shipping address.
So casual?
But then again, it made some sense.
Oftentimes, what looks the most rudimentary is also the safest.
Conversely, making it fancy could more easily reveal clues to others.
Who would pay attention to an ordinary postal package?
Lin Mo didn’t want to delve into how the deep web sent the goods.
But he was one hundred percent confident in the Intelligence System’s judgment; if the system deemed it safe enough, then it would definitely not lead to any trouble.
Back in his room, Lin Mo, as usual, checked every corner of the room to ensure there were no surveillance devices before opening the packages.
Lin Mo was well aware that he was just a very small fry, a nobody who wouldn’t be the subject of anyone planting surveillance cameras in his hotel room.
Even if there happened to be surveillance, it was highly likely not aimed at filming a single man.
Nevertheless, developing the habit of being cautious at all times was essential; one slip could mean losing everything.
Once sure everything was clear, Lin Mo didn’t hurry to open the packages but opened WeChat to check unread messages.
They were all from his family.
His father was asking why he left so suddenly and if there was something wrong..
