Chapter 306: 136, offering a big reward for hiring mercenaries! Important intelligence about Chen Shanhe!_7
“`
“No matter what, the Intelligence System doesn’t make mistakes. Since it said the stock would soar tenfold, I can’t miss out on this show.”
“Wake up early tomorrow morning, take my wife for a prenatal check-up first, then go to the New York Stock Exchange to open an account and give this stock a try.”
Making up his mind, Lin Mo continued to look through other pieces of intelligence.
When he saw the eighth piece of intelligence, Lin Mo’s eyes narrowed involuntarily, and a cold murderous intent seeped through.
Chen Shanhe’s most beloved son is coming to America?
Chen Ze?
“Interesting! Finally, after waiting so long, I’ve got intelligence that allows me to take revenge on Chen Shanhe directly!”
“You old bastard, you framed my family as fugitives, so doing something to your precious son isn’t too much, right?”
Although he didn’t know Chen Ze well, Lin Mo was far from saintly at this point—with the other party set on killing his entire family, was there any reason to care about their kin? Closing the page of the Intelligence System, Lin Mo decisively used his phone to access the deep web and posted a lucrative bounty to hire a team of mercenaries.
If you’re going to take revenge, might as well make it swift!
If Chen Shanhe could put out a warrant for Lin Mo’s family, why couldn’t Lin Mo target his son?
It was already a life-and-death situation for both parties, with no room for sentiment or mercy.
Besides, stirring up trouble would make Chen Shanhe mistakenly believe Lin Mo was in America, leading Chen Shanhe to lower his guard back home and come to America to deal with Lin Mo instead.
By then, Lin Mo’s return to his own country would be even safer.
“However, compared to taking Chen Ze’s life, capturing him alive seems more advantageous for me!”
“After all, even the Intelligence System points out he’s Chen Shanhe’s most cherished youngest son. If I use him as leverage, it will cause Chen Shanhe even more pain. Add Chen Kainan to the mix…”
A cold smile appeared on Lin Mo’s face as he modified the bounty he had just posted, making it clear in the mission content that a much richer reward was offered for capturing the target alive!
After finishing everything, it was already 4 AM. Lin Mo stretched lazily and then went to sleep.
The window for accepting the bounty was 24 hours. There was no need to pay immediate attention to it; after 24 hours, he would see which teams had accepted the bounty and then carefully screen them.
This matter required patience and careful selection. Otherwise, hiring an unreliable mercenary team and having the news leaked out would be disastrous.
Moreover, this was Lin Mo’s first time undertaking such a task, and he needed to research this area further.
…
Having slept for less than three hours, Lin Mo was groggily awakened.
Li Jinwen looked at Lin Mo’s exhausted appearance and asked, “Husband, did you not sleep well last night? Shall we postpone today’s prenatal check-up?”
Indeed, he had not slept well.
Due to jet lag, he had barely slept the day before yesterday, and he had gotten only three hours of sleep last night, so he was, of course, extremely tired.
But Lin Mo had many things to do today and couldn’t afford to sleep any longer.
“It’s fine, it’s just the jet lag that hasn’t adjusted yet. If I sleep any more, I might not overcome it today.”
Lin Mo stretched, yawned, and said, “Let’s get up! Wash up and head to the hospital; we’ve already made an appointment with the doctor.”
“Don’t wake up my sister and daughter; let them sleep a bit longer.”
Li Jinwen nodded: “Okay, I’ll leave a message for them in the group chat.”
After a quick wash, the couple touched up their disguises and exited the hotel together.
The early morning in America was rather deserted, with the streets littered with homeless people just waking up, packing up their tents, and cleaning up the trash on the ground.
It wasn’t because the homeless had such high standards, but rather because a police car was parked every 20 meters or so, with coffee-clutching, corpulent officers inside keeping a watchful eye on them.
If they didn’t clean up properly, the consequences were obvious.
However, if someone were to simply film the homeless voluntarily packing their tents and cleaning the streets, and then posted it to short-video websites back home, it would surely evoke praises and applause.
How could a country with such well-mannered homeless people be bad?
That would surely be a popular answer.
Moreover, Lin Mo noticed there really were people recording this scene with their cameras.
No choice,
Whether it’s patriotic flattery or denunciation, it’s really mouth-watering and profitable.
The couple hailed a taxi and headed for a private clinic not far from their hotel.
The reason they didn’t go to the public hospitals in America was that Lin Mo had already researched on the flight over that public hospitals were tough to book and required a long wait.
By the time it was their turn for a four-dimensional ultrasound, Li Jinwen might have already given birth.
Private clinics, however, didn’t have this problem; not only did they offer better service and speed, but the doctors were more professional than those at public hospitals.
Moreover, the costs were not higher than those at America’s public hospitals and were even cheaper in some cases.
It sounded absurd at first,
but once Lin Mo understood the situation, it seemed perfectly normal.
After all, public hospitals dealt with insurance, which accounted for 18% of the country’s total medical expenditures as a percentage of GDP, with a per capita medical expense of 13,000 US dollars.
You could say they value health and are willing to spend on medical care.
You could also say that there’s a lot of grey area and rampant corruption.
In the end, people in every country are the same, knowing only what others want them to know.
Private hospitals being cheaper is because it’s your own money being spent, and naturally, every penny has to be accounted for clearly.
