Chapter 375: 144, Lin Mo’s Achilles’ heel exposed? Chen Shanhe’s comeback against the odds!_6
Lin Xiaoxiao asked excitedly, “Really?”
Zhao Huixian smiled and said, “Of course it’s true, when has Granny ever lied to you?”
“Granny is the best! Love Granny! Mwah!” Lin Xiaoxiao’s spirit was lifted, and she began to write in her homework book with renewed vigor.
“This child, always full of strange ideas, anyone who plays with you is good to you, just like your mom when she was young,” Zhao Huixian shook her head helplessly, just about to say more when she heard her mobile phone ring on the coffee table.
She was using a brand-new phone number, which only family members knew, and considering the timing of the incoming call, there was no doubt that it was from Lin Mo and the others.
Already very worried about her family’s safety, Zhao Huixian quickly jogged over when she saw their call.
At the same time, Xu Qin also came over.
The two of them saw that it was a video call from Li Jinwen.
“Xiaoxiao, focus on your homework, and keep an eye on your brother too. Grandma and Granny will step out for a bit!”
“Okay!”
Zhao Huixian and Xu Qin left the room and hurriedly pressed the answer button, but the video call didn’t connect smoothly, instead indicating a poor network connection.
“This darn network.”
She tried again, but the video still wouldn’t send, as if the internet had been cut off.
That’s when Xu Qin had an idea, “I remember when my son left, didn’t he say that our phones have some kind of satellite signal? Let’s try switching to that.”
Zhao Huixian nodded, somewhat unskilled at turning on satellite signal mode, and sent the video connection request again.
This time the video connected smoothly, and many family members appeared on the screen.
Li Jinwen said with concern, “Mom, what are you doing, why did it take so long to answer the call?”
Zhao Huixian replied, “Hey, you can’t blame me for that. The signal overseas is terrible. I followed Mo’s advice about the satellite signal and switched to that before calling you.”
“Oh, you guys are eating? When will you be back?”
“We just finished cooking and started sending you the video,” Li Jinwen turned the video toward Lin Mo and asked, “Husband, mom is asking when we’re coming back.”
Lin Mo put down his chopsticks and looked at the camera, “Mom, it’s too late now, we’ll catch a flight back tomorrow morning and should reach the estate by evening.”
Although the live broadcast had achieved very good results, Lin Mo did not plan on staying in the country for long.
Being naturally cautious, he felt it would be better to hide abroad for a while and wait until the fervor in the country died down or until it was confirmed that Chen Shanhe had been caught and all his remaining underlings had been dealt with before deciding to return.
Zhao Huixian smiled and said, “All right, then tomorrow I’ll make some delicious food to wait for you!”
“Mom, have you guys eaten yet?”
“We’ve eaten!”
“Mom, Xiaoxiao isn’t nearby, right? Did you watch the live broadcast?”
“She’s doing her homework. Yes, we watched; the news about our family is everywhere overseas, it’s hard not to see it.”
“By the way, has Chen Shanhe been caught yet?”
“Not yet. I just watched the Grand Xia news, and he blew up his lair. It seems unlikely that anyone can save him this time.”
“Right, the entirety of Rakshasa City is locked down now, and all of Chen Shanhe’s businesses are being hit. They will definitely catch him.”
“Many people from the Chen Family have already been arrested. Chen Shanhe is a loner now; there’s no way he can escape!”
“That’s great!”
“This is what they call poetic justice!”
“Someone like Chen Shanhe deserves…”
The Lin family was talking contentedly about tonight’s live broadcast.
Meanwhile, in many other places, many people who knew Lin Mo were also passionately discussing the live broadcast.
…
Yuhang, People’s Hospital.
In the hospital room.
Zhang Yihua lay excitedly on the chair next to his mother’s hospital bed, continually refreshing the news about Chen Shanhe online.
Seeing that the number of concurrent viewers in Lin Mo’s live broadcast room had actually broken through one hundred million, he was genuinely excited and happy for his old classmate, who had been kind to him.
Especially after listening to Lin Mo talk about the troubles his family had faced and seeing the ensuing online discussions and the timely action by the relevant authorities.
It was just like the setup for an uplifting story!
As a professional cartoonist, at this very moment, Zhang Yihua even wanted to rush to the studio to record the story and turn it into a comic and animation so that more people could learn about Lin Mo’s experiences.
Unfortunately,
the studio was gone…
If he couldn’t find the money for his mother’s treatment soon, his home would be gone too.
“Yihua… Yihua…”
The weak voice of the woman on the hospital bed called out.
Zhang Yihua quickly put away his phone, got up, and leaned over to the bed, worriedly asking, “Mom, Yihua’s here, what’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable anywhere? Do you want me to call a doctor?”
The woman shook her head, tiredly saying, “I’m a bit thirsty, pour me a glass of water, please.”
“Okay!” Zhang Yihua opened the thermos, poured some hot water, cooled it down a bit, and after adjusting the temperature, he handed the glass over: “Mom, let me help you drink, take it slowly.”
A grown man, yet he was as attentive as a housewife.
Gulp… Gulp…
The woman only took two small sips before shaking her head, “That’s enough, that’s enough.”
Zhang Yihua put down the cup and pulled out two tissues to wipe the water from his mother’s mouth.
“Ah…” The woman sighed, her eyes a bit cloudy, weakly saying, “Yihua, let’s leave the hospital tomorrow, mom is actually fine, just a bit tired, resting at home for a couple of days will do.”
“Staying in the hospital every day costs so much money.”
This wasn’t the first time his mother had proposed leaving the hospital. Once, she had even snuck out of the hospital while her son was asleep, wandered by the roadside, wanting to get hit by a car to leave some money for her son.
