Chapter 35: 34, Lin Mo’s plan, a slightly heavy price! 1
Translator: 549690339 | r —
Lin Mo previously didn’t want to return to his hometown, mainly because there were hardly any young people left there, and he didn’t know what he would do if he did go back.
He had been born and raised in Rakshasa City, and although surviving there was exhausting, life pressure would surely be relieved if he went back home, but he would also earn much less.
Now, Lin Mo had another reason for not wanting to return to his hometown: the Intelligence System.
Even though Lin Mo still hadn’t completely figured out all the operational logic of the Intelligence System, one thing was without a doubt.
In a big city, it was easier to obtain information that could make money.
Take, for example, the time the weather forecast was wrong—if he had been in his hometown, even if Lin Mo had thought to sell umbrellas, he wouldn’t have been able to find a venue like an outdoor music festival in a small town.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo said with a smile, “I actually do miss home quite a bit, but hey, wife, for someone like me who has lived in Rakshasa City since childhood, there are just too few opportunities back home.”
Besides, our family has been quite lucky lately, we have some money on hand now, and I want to try doing some small business.”
“If we can make money, that’s great; if not, we can consider moving back home, and it won’t be too late. What do you think?”
The car was moving slowly, and Li Jinwen nodded, “You ‘re the backbone of our family, Xiaoxiao and I will listen to you.”
“Aren’t you a little tired? If you are, take a nap. We still have over an hour before we get home.”
“Okay, drive slowly, there’s no rush, safety first.” Lin Mo drank some white liquor, and his head was indeed a bit dizzy, so he didn’t try to be strong and slowly closed his eyes.
Initially, Lin Mo thought he would fall asleep quickly, but after several minutes, he was still very alert. Apart from not feeling at ease with his wife driving, he also kept thinking about how to solve the problem of his daughter being bullied.
He did have one piece of information that was nothing short of a bombshell, which if released, was more than enough to tear Zhang Ziyue’s family apart.
But maybe it was because his brain had become more active after drinking, Lin Mo began to ponder some questions.
Beyond directly throwing out this explosive information, what else could he do with it?
How should he pass the information to the other party?
Approaching Principal Liu Meihong like the last time would definitely not be appropriate since the information Lin Mo held was not enough to threaten the political status of Zhang Ziyue’s father.
If the other party were to uncover his identity, it would be a very troubling matter.
Even Qi Tongwei, a top student from the Political and Legal University, couldn’t withstand a minor tantrum of power, let alone himself who was just a lowly worker fighting against demolition.
He absolutely must not expose himself before he had accumulated enough ammunition!
And then, there was also
Lin Mo’s personal ambition.
How could he use the intelligence to maximize his benefits, or even achieve multiple objectives with a single piece of information?
These were all things he had to figure out.
The Intelligence System was his means to turn his life around!
“I’m not very clever, and I lack social experience; that’s my shortcoming.” “Rescuing a dog only to end up falsely accused, even barely receiving a meager few hundred yuan as a reward, threatening Liu Meihong was a success, yet it carried its risks.”
“And what I’m about to face is an official from Six Fan Gate with considerable power.”
With every step I take, I must be careful not to expose myself and especially not to put my family in danger!”
I also need to make myself stronger as soon as possible, only then can I provide a better life and safety for those around me!”
Lin Mo’s eyes were closed.
His mind was pondering many things.
By the time they got home, it was already 10 p.m.; the drive took so long
because Li Jinwen was rusty with her driving skills, even at night when there was hardly any traffic, she drove extremely slowly.
Lin Mo gently laid his daughter, who had already fallen asleep in his arms, on the bed.
When he got to his own bedroom, Li Jinwen, sitting on the edge of the bed with a cup of hot water, said softly, “Husband, I’ve put some honey in the water for you, drink it while it’s hot.”
Lin Mo took the cup, blew on the steam, and took a gentle sip.
The water was sweet and a bit hot, but it eased his groggy brain quite a bit.
“Feeling any better?”
“Hmm, much better.”
“Husband, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”
“Today, as I was walking, I thought about it a lot. If it really doesn’t work out, then we should just transfer Xiaoxiao to another class. The other parents work at Six Fan Gate, and their grandfather has connections in the Education Bureau. We can’t fight them.”
Transfer classes?
If Lin Mo hadn’t owned the Intelligence System, he would have had no choice but to reluctantly agree to let his daughter be mistreated.
But now, it was different,
he had the ability to fight back, and on his way home, he had already roughly thought out a plan for retaliation.
However, these were things Lin Mo couldn’t let his wife know about.
As he mentally crafted his following plans, he responded with an indifferent face, “Hmm, you make sense. I’ve thought about it too. Let’s do it the way you suggested.”
“You sleep in a bit tomorrow morning. I can take Xiaoxiao to school.”
“But…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter. Besides, even if you went to the school, you wouldn’t be able to change anything. It would only upset you. It’s just a class transfer; I’ll take care of it.”
Li Jinwen’s heart was bitter. It was too unfair. They were clearly not in the wrong, but they were the ones being forced to transfer classes. “Thank you, husband. Hug~—”
Two slender bodies gently embraced.
Feeling the warmth and breath of each other, Li Jinwen’s frustrated heart eased slightly.
A few minutes later,
Lin Mo gently patted Li Jinwen and said softly, “Oh right, wife, I forgot to tell you. The boss is treating us to dinner and insists I go. I tried to refuse a few times, but he wouldn’t take no for an answer. You go to sleep first, I’ll be out for a bit and come back later.”
Li Jinwen persuaded, “But you ‘ve been drinking, haven’t you? Maybe just call and say you can’t go.”
“I’ve thought about it. For the next while, there might be a lot less work on the building sites, and it might be hard to have another chance to gather with them, so I want to say goodbye.”
Then all right… be careful, and if you need me to pick you up, just call me.”
“Okay, wife, go to sleep early.”
Lin Mo put on his jacket, picked up the keys of the electric bike hanging next to him.
“Also… I might do a bank transfer of tens of thousands of yuan tonight. Xu’s daughter is sick, and they’ve been fundraising. Xu helped me out a lot back when we were working construction.”
“No problem, you decide.”
Li Jinwen didn’t have any doubts and nodded lightly, “Be safe on the road, and don’t come back too late.”
“Hmm.”
After a light kiss, Lin Mo left the room.
After leaving home, Lin Mo rode his electric bike on the bustling sidewalks.
About half an hour later, he stopped the bike in front of a secluded internet cafe.
Lin Mo locked his bike, tightened his clothes, and walked into the internet cafe.
Facial recognition, card issuance, payment…
Once he had successfully gotten a card, Lin Mo looked around the first floor, not finding a suitable computer, he went straight to the second floor.
Eventually,
he picked a booth in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras, with no other customers around, and sat down.
He turned on the computer and entered the password in one fluid motion.
After booting up, Lin Mo efficiently typed in a website that he had memorized long ago during his university days.
The real reason Lin Mo had purposely come out tonight was not to attend any work gathering; his destination was this internet cafe.
He planned to use the information he had about Zhang Ziyue’s family to conduct an experiment. Besides completely resolving the issue of his daughter being bullied, he wanted to make this family, who had repeatedly offended him, pay a slightly heavy price….
