Chapter 233: 128, Chen Shanhe personally leads the team, secretly surrounds Zhangzhuang Village! _2
Lin Xiaoxiao pouted her small lips, “But… didn’t you promise that I could sleep with you tonight?”
“Be good, daddy is tired today, let daddy have a good sleep,” Li Jinwen said softly, leading his daughter by the hand, “After daddy rests well, can you come sleep with us then?”
Lin Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but still nodded her head.
Li Jinwen held her hand, walked out of the room, and took Lin Xiaoxiao back to her own room.
After turning on the electric blanket, the bed quickly became very warm.
Li Jinwen tucked in his daughter, making sure the corners of the blanket were snugly in place, and said, “You’re one year older now, you need to be good. When you wake up tomorrow, daddy and mommy will take you to set off firecrackers!”
“Mhm!”
Lin Xiaoxiao obediently closed her eyes, “Good night, mommy, see you tomorrow!”
“Mhm, good night, see you tomorrow.”
Li Jinwen gently turned off the light in the room and closed the door as he left.
The three bedrooms on the second floor were connected, with a separate bathroom on the easternmost side.
When the house was built, Lin Changshui had specifically designed it this way so that if things didn’t work out outside, there would at least be a place to live when coming back home.
At this moment,
The bathroom light was on, and as he approached, he could hear the sound of running water.
Li Jinwen’s face was somewhat stern, and he raised his hand, intending to knock on the door, but after thinking about it, he let it drop.
She could tell that her husband had fled in panic just now, wanting a space to himself.
She also knew that she shouldn’t disturb her husband at this time.
She hesitated for a moment and turned to leave.
But how could she move her feet?
She couldn’t rest assured after all.
In the end, she just quietly leaned against the bathroom door, silently waiting for her husband to come out.
…
Inside the bathroom.
The faucet kept running with ice-cold water that was bone-chilling.
Lin Mo scooped up the water with his hands over and over again and splashed it on his face.
His hands were already a bit red from the cold, and his face was all covered with cold droplets. The sensation was uncomfortable, but it helped him cool down quickly.
Although this crisis was more dangerous than any before, and the time left to prepare was even shorter.
Fortunately, Lin Mo was no longer the same old Lin Mo; at least mentally, he was much more composed.
“No matter how Chen Shanhe found me, we absolutely cannot stay in this village any longer!”
“Leave!”
“Take the whole family and leave together!”
“But where to go, where is safe, and how to tell the family?”
“These are all problems!”
Lin Mo opened his mouth wide and breathed heavily.
He stared at the soaking wet reflection in the mirror, his expression stern, forcing his brain to keep running at high speed, thinking of any possible solutions to the problem.
Although he felt frightened and panicked inside!
But the more it was like this, the more he needed to remain calm!
The fate of his whole family rested on his shoulders!
He had to keep himself calm and then come up with effective countermeasures!
…
For nearly half an hour, Lin Mo kept overturning his original thoughts in his mind, thinking of new ideas, and considering every possible scenario.
“Can only do this for now!”
Looking at himself in the mirror, Lin Mo made a certain decision.
“Must move quickly, leave this place without a trace!”
“Can’t leave behind any clues!”
“Otherwise, with Chen Shanhe’s abilities, it will be easy for him to track me down!”
After washing his face with cold water one last time, Lin Mo grabbed a towel, dried the water off his face, and stepped out of the bathroom with a heavy sigh and a grave expression.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Li Jinwen standing at the door.
Their eyes met, and both were startled.
“Wife?”
Lin Mo was taken aback, “Why are you here? Have you been waiting since I entered the bathroom?”
Li Jinwen nodded.
“Let’s go back to the room, it’s cold outside!”
Without saying much more, Lin Mo took Li Jinwen’s hand and returned to the warm and comfortable room.
Li Jinwen poured Lin Mo a glass of water and said, concerned, “Husband, are you feeling better?”
“Mhm, much better now,” Lin Mo took the glass and drank, trying to sound relaxed, “By the way, wife, there’s something I forgot to tell you.”
Li Jinwen looked at Lin Mo and nodded slightly.
After putting down the glass, Lin Mo said, “The thing is… I just got notified that there’s some issue in Rakshasa City, I might have to leave for a few days, it’s urgent, I might need to go tonight.”
Li Jinwen looked into Lin Mo’s eyes, took a slight breath, and then asked, “Is it like last time when mom and dad had the car accident and you had to go to Yuhang?”
“Yes, it is…”
Lin Mo answered reflexively.
But immediately, he froze.
Suddenly, he had a feeling that his lie was uncovered.
His wife was smart, this Lin Mo had always known.
After all that had happened, his wife couldn’t possibly be without any doubts.
He understood his wife very well.
And his wife understood him just as well.
It was just that since he had never wanted to speak up, his wife had never asked.
The two of them had an unspoken understanding of each other.
But now…
His wife clearly sensed something was wrong and wanted to confront the matter.
But…
How should he tell his wife the truth?
Looking into his wife’s eyes, Lin Mo hesitated.
The truth…
It was too heavy!
If his wife learned the truth, could she handle it?
This was no small matter; even he was nearly at his breaking point!
For a moment, Lin Mo didn’t know what to say.
Li Jinwen stared at Lin Mo, her eyes slightly red. She tried hard not to let the tears flow, bravely saying, “Husband, I don’t know what you are doing, but if possible, please tell me, okay?”
