Chapter 195: 123, teasing Chen Shanhe! Refresh to reveal a bizarre new piece of information!_6
After all, wealth should not be flaunted; he also didn’t know about hiring laborers to do the digging.
In case of an accident, the trouble would be tremendous!
He kept working until evening, but there were no discoveries.
Instead, his phone was flooded with news, saying that the Lvkai Group had already begun processing refunds.
Lin Mo watched some short videos for a while, and indeed as he had expected, many homeowners who received refunds rushed to Lvkai Group, banging drums and gongs, presenting banners and thousands of peoples’ umbrellas, thanking the Lvkai Group in various ways for their righteous generosity.
They might never know that the person they were thanking was the very culprit who had caused them years of suffering.
And the person who truly helped them was currently engaged in the exhausting work of digging.
However, that’s not important,
Lin Mo’s starting point was never about helping these unlucky homeowners who had lost their homes; it was just a gambit to deal with Chen Shanhe.
Helping those unlucky homeowners was just incidental.
Seeing the people who had been living in tents with lifeless expressions just yesterday, now smiling and looking forward to the future, he actually felt quite a sense of achievement.
But do good deeds without asking about the future.
After watching the short videos for a while, a smile appeared on Lin Mo’s face, and then he got busy again.
…..
In the time that followed, Lin Mo stayed in the basement, repeating his mechanical work.
In his dreams, he never thought that after activating the system, he would once again experience that kind of tough life he once had.
His back began to hurt, the basement was nearly dug out, he was tired as a dog, but still, he hadn’t found a single clue about the treasure.
What the hell?
Lin Mo sat on the steps, took a sip of water, wiped the sweat off his neck, and looked at the basement full of holes and pits, starting to think.
Could it be that it’s not hidden in the basement?
Does the yard count too?
“If it’s not under the basement, that’s really going to be troublesome.”
Lin Mo’s digging in the basement made some noise, but it was not too big of a problem.
The nearby houses were probably all inhabited by laborers, who left early for work and didn’t come back until it was dark, sleeping for just a few hours before leaving again, paying no attention to what their neighbors were doing.
But if he dug in the yard, it might alert the landlord or other villagers.
If they guessed something, that would be troublesome.
After all, which normal person would dig three feet into the ground for no reason?
“I’ll finish digging the last area of the basement tonight, if I really can’t find anything, I’ll have to think of other methods.”
Lin Mo rested for a while, picked up the shovel, and started working again.
The foundation of the old house was truly remarkable, the soil was very hard, and Lin Mo had to use a lot of force to dig into it, and even with the help of an electric pick, the process was very slow.
However, Lin Mo was patient,
He would rest when tired, go upstairs to sleep when sleepy, and except for eating, he spent the rest of his time digging little by little.
After all, with this kind of work, he was certainly more professional than most people.
After digging for another half day, Lin Mo once again dug out a pit about two meters deep, but still without any reward.
He checked the time on his phone; 48 hours had passed since the last contact with Chen Kainan.
It was time to contact Chen Shanhe to inquire about the results.
In fact, there was no need to ask as he could pretty much understand the situation since the local short videos over the past couple of days were almost all news about Lvkai Group.
All major media and marketing accounts were just short of praising Lvkai Group as a super-conscientious enterprise that rarely existed in heaven and was absolutely nonexistent on earth.
Of course,
Initiating refunds for homeowners of stalled projects was indeed an unprecedented first, and combined with Chen Shanhe’s review control and operations, it was not surprising to achieve such an effect.
Just as Lin Mo was preparing to crawl out of the pit, he slipped on the damp soil beneath his feet, nearly falling, but fortunately, he was agile and caught himself by leaning on the wall.
“Fuck…”
Lin Mo couldn’t help but curse, supported his body to get up, and then realized something was off with the feel in his hand.
Huh?
He grasped tightly, and found there was a layer of hard material beneath the soil.
Without further thought, Lin Mo hurriedly used the flashlight on his phone, and saw that beneath a thin layer of soil, there was a very hard stone surface, clearly having been smoothed down!
This…
An ancient well?
Did he find it?!
Lin Mo was overjoyed and quickly widened the area on either side with a shovel, finding more hard stone surfaces.
Knocking on it with his hand, he could tell from the sound that there was an empty space below!
It was stable!
It must be here!
In an instant, the hardship of the past dozens of hours completely vanished.
This sensation was even more exhilarating than finding money!
It was like a mathematician who had figured out a problem that had puzzled him for half a year!
Lin Mo, excited, connected the electric pick to the power, secured his body, and began to vigorously chisel downward.
Soon, he broke open a hole in the stone slab that was big enough for a person to pass through, and at the same time, a smell so foul emerged that it almost made Lin Mo vomit out his meal from the previous afternoon.
He endured the stench, shone his phone light down again and discovered that below appeared to be an old well with grooves on the walls that could be used to climb down, but he couldn’t see what was at the bottom.
