Chapter 319: 138, software is ready, live streaming started! The whole family appears on camera, facing Chen Shanhe!_2
Hmm?
Chen Ze’s brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, “You are…the one from the Abyss Organization…Lin Mo?”
Without bothering to engage in small talk, Lin Mo said coldly, “Mr. Chen, go home and tell your father that today was merely a greeting gift. In the future, when your Chen Family members leave the house, they should weigh their steps carefully.”
“I hope you’ll be just as lucky next time!”
After speaking, Lin Mo directly hung up the video call.
He had nothing to say to Chen Ze, the failure of this operation was regrettable, but it was also within Lin Mo’s expectations.
He hadn’t thought the matter was going to be easy.
If just hiring a mercenary or two was enough to take out an important figure of the Chen Family, then perhaps no one from the Chen Family would dare to leave the country, and they wouldn’t have survived to this day.
After all, as the Chen Family has grown up until now, Lin Mo was definitely not their only nemesis; there were surely many gunning for the family’s downfall!
It was just like a lottery; since the opportunity was in front of him, Lin Mo would certainly give it a try—it was just about spending some money.
Success would be best, but if not, he would simply think of another way.
He was in the shadows, and the Chen Family was in the light. Even if he could only add some anxiety to their minds, it was still a good thing.
…..
Inside the manor.
Upon hearing the name Lin Mo through the intercom, Qiu Pengchi and Pu Yuanbai also furrowed their brows.
The Chen Family had mobilized all their resources, searched for several months in Grand Xia Country, and even involved the police force, but they found no trace of Lin Mo and his family.
They never expected,
that they would receive such an unexpected reward on their very first day in America.
Chen Ze also did not expect that Lin Mo’s first target after showing himself would be him.
Interesting,
Very interesting indeed.
Chen Ze looked at the two beside him and politely asked, “Group Leader Pu, Group Leader Qiu, could you two please do me a favor?”
Although he was a member of the Chen Family, even Chen Shanhe’s most beloved youngest son, he was still very courteous in front of his father’s trusted aides.
If this were ancient times, he would be the crown prince, and the two before him would be the emperor’s favored officials.
Pu Yuanbai nodded and said, “Mr. Chen, it’s not a matter of helping; we will do what we should. Just say the word.”
Chen Ze casually tossed aside the blood-covered camera, and spoke in a grave tone, “Group Leader Pu, my father’s birthday is in a month, and I don’t want these flies to affect his mood.”
“Could you refrain from telling Elder Chen about today’s events for now? I’d like to personally enter the fray and try to find this Lin Mo as a birthday present for my father.”
“He’ll be very happy.”
This…
Pu Yuanbai and Qiu Pengchi exchanged looks, both a little uncertain for a moment.
They were indeed there to protect Chen Ze, but they were Chen Shanhe’s confidants and bound to report any situation, which was their duty.
Chen Ze knew they were in a difficult position and said with a smile, “If my father blames anyone for this, I will take the responsibility. And since Lin Mo might be in America, and I’ve always handled the connections here, why not let me give it a try?”
“If I can’t find Lin Mo within a week, then you can tell my father about what happened today—it won’t be too late.”
“What do you think?”
After thinking, Qiu Pengchi was the first to agree, “Alright, since that’s the case, we’ll follow Mr. Chen’s lead and won’t report today’s events to Elder Chen for now.”
“But if you have any plans, you need to let us know.”
Chen Ze nodded: “Of course, Lin Mo is a thorn in my father’s side, and if I can find any clue of him, I’m sure my father will be happy.”
“For all these mercenaries’ corpses, let’s start with their identities and see through what channels Lin Mo has hired them.”
“Once we ascertain their identities, we’re probably not far from finding Lin Mo.”
…
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
After waiting in the hotel room for two or three hours, the team leaders of the mercenary squads, who had failed the mission but managed to escape from the manor, reappeared on the video call.
The Scorpion, covered in blood, spoke up, “Mr. Abyss, we apologize for not completing the mission.”
“You were right, the security around the target is very strong, and in this situation, where the alarm has already been raised, I’m afraid even if you continue to send other mercenary squads, it would simply be a one-way ticket.”
Lin Mo nodded and then asked, “In your opinion, what kind of person would be a match for those two bodyguards?”
It was the 742 Special Task Force’s Fox who spoke this time; his injuries were comparatively lighter, but he wasn’t in much better shape: “Mr. Abyss, those two’s abilities are definitely not inferior to ace mercenaries. To deal with them, we would likely need the elite of the elite from Wagner or Blackwater to stand a chance at success.”
The elite from Wagner and Blackwater?
Lin Mo had previously seen an introduction to these two mercenary companies on the dark web.
He had also inquired, and the other party had told him that ordinary mercenaries were easy to find, but the ace forces rarely took on missions from the dark web.
It wasn’t about the money.
At their level, the underworld wasn’t just about fighting and killing anymore.
“Alright, I understand,” Lin Mo said thoughtfully. “I’ll have the money transferred to you through the dark web shortly, and you might need to lay low for a while. Otherwise, they might be able to track you down.”
Lin Mo’s way of contacting them was through the dark web, so even if these mercenaries were captured, they wouldn’t be able to trace it back to Lin Mo.
