Chapter 209: 125, An unexpected encounter with Chen Shanhe! Going home for New Year’s, showing off in a Maybach!_3
“””
“During this period, our family has received quite a few gifts, and Dad said we will return them all during the New Year’s, not wanting to take advantage of others.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange it!”
After chatting for well over an hour, Lin Mo reluctantly ended the call.
Have to say,
looking at the bustling scene on the other end of the phone, he truly missed home.
Especially during the New Year’s, whether poor or rich, everyone looks forward to going home and being with their families.
In the following hours, Lin Mo continued to learn on the deep web.
And he kept up with some news about Chen Shanhe.
The hottest topic on the internet today was the news of Whale Biopharmaceuticals Company suddenly reducing the price of their leukemia breakthrough drug.
It ranked in several of the top ten lists on TikTok!
Hospitals everywhere experienced a frenzy for the drug.
The comment sections below those videos were all praising it.
Everyone was lauding Whale Biopharmaceuticals Company for being awesome!
For being righteous!
They probably will never know that Whale Biopharmaceuticals Company, this evil dragon, only made the decision when it was forced into a corner with no other choice!
With a smile on his face, Lin Mo turned off TikTok.
Doing such a thing brought him virtually no benefit, but seeing those positive comments in the comment section filled Lin Mo with an irresistible sense of great accomplishment!
Although no one knew he was the mastermind behind it all, it didn’t really matter. It was like he had eliminated a harm for the people, robbing the rich to aid the poor!
After checking his phone for a while and preparing to sleep, Hai Dong sent him another message, this time about the meeting place for tomorrow.
The location was at Xintiandi, in Lane 287, South West Road, Hai Huang District.
Hai Dong had previously sent this address, and sending it again now was to make sure Lin Mo didn’t get it wrong.
Lin Mo really hadn’t been to that area much. The only thing he knew was that the residents there were blood-pure old Rakshasa City folks. During a special period, it was the French Concession, and about 30 years ago, it was renovated with French business investment, with a more Western style décor.
Many old-time big shots lived in that place.
“Mr. Hai Dong, rest assured, I’ll definitely be there on time tomorrow.”
Lin Mo replied to the message, then, as usual, watched a few of Chen Shanhe’s speeches and some other information before gradually falling asleep.
…
The next day, early in the morning.
Lin Mo again rented an ordinary sedan, bringing only five antique swords, and headed to the address Hai Dong provided.
When he arrived at Xintiandi, the traditional residential culture merged with the Western architecture, creating quite a unique flavor.
Hai Dong drove a Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Lin Mo didn’t quite understand the model or the price.
But one thing was certain, it wouldn’t be cheap.
When Hai Dong saw that Lin Mo had arrived in a common domestic car, he was shocked and said, “Come on, brother, aren’t you being a little too low-profile?”
“You just told me you had arrived, and I looked around but failed to spot you until you turned on your hazards. I could hardly believe that was actually your car.”
“My real name is Liu Hai Dong. What should I call you, big brother?”
“Lin Mo, just call me by my name. Don’t keep saying big brother; it feels a bit awkward, and I’m not necessarily older than you.” Lin Mo didn’t conceal his real name; he had met Xiang Feiwen before at the Yuhang Antique Market, and his identity could easily be discovered with a question, so there was nothing to hide.
Moreover, his identity was secure, so there was no need to hide it.
After shaking hands with Hai Dong, Lin Mo said with a smile, “What can I do? I’m poor, you know. I’m waiting for Mr. Hai Dong to lead me to making some money, so I can buy a luxury car like yours to drive.”
Poor?
You, a man who earns tens of millions in a day, are telling me you’re poor?
Hai Dong’s mouth twitched involuntarily, as he hurriedly said, “Brother, you’re giving me too much credit. Compared to your prowess, what I have is nothing.”
“But rest assured, the major collector I’m taking you to meet this time definitely has the capability. Shall we find a place to park your car and go together in one vehicle?”
Lin Mo nodded, found a paid parking spot to park his car, then took the bag with the five antique swords and got into Hai Dong’s Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
The car had a dedicated driver.
Hai Dong and Lin Mo both sat in the back seat.
Throughout the trip, Hai Dong’s gaze never left the bag beside Lin Mo, and after waiting for a bit, he couldn’t resist speaking up, “Bro, could you let me have a look first to feast my eyes?”
Lin Mo nodded.
Hai Dong cautiously took out a pair of white gloves from the glove compartment next to him, opened the bag containing the swords as if he were handling a beautiful girl, and took out a sword wrapped in several layers of black cloth, cradling it in his hands.
As layer by layer of the black cloth was unwrapped, and the sword scabbard was opened, the sharp edge of the sword emitted a cold chill.
The handle was exquisitely cast, covered with intricate runes. When sunlight fell upon it, it reflected a dazzling array of colorful light, as if possessed by a mystical force.
“What a treasure, truly a treasure. In my lifetime, I never thought I’d have the opportunity to see such a peerless sword,” Hai Dong couldn’t help but praise repeatedly, his excitement akin to a three-year-old receiving his favorite toy.
Of course, he was also smart. Along the way, he only kept examining the details of the swords without bringing up the origin of the swords or any other topic.
Lin Mo was happy to have the quiet time, patiently waiting to reach the final destination.
About half an hour later, the car drove into a manor’s courtyard and, under the direction of a bodyguard, stopped in the designated area.
