Chapter 394: 146, you are Chen Shanhe, I am Lin Mo!!_7
What he said really did reflect his own difficult journey thus far.
First it was Rakshasa City, then back to Zhangzhuang, and now he has been forced to drift to the Northern Sea.
“Young man, you do have a way with words,” Chen Shanhe found he could really get along with this young fellow and began to talk more.
Meanwhile, the people nearby were mostly talking about Lin Mo’s live stream from the night before.
It couldn’t be helped; the popularity was just too high, and with its strong gossip appeal, it had nearly changed the way Grand Xia nationality people greeted each other overnight.
In the past, the usual greeting was, “Have you eaten?”
But now, upon meeting, they would mysteriously start with, “Hey, did you watch last night’s live stream?”
Out of ten people, usually nine would have seen it.
If they encountered one or two who hadn’t, they would get excited, scouring the Internet for news while educating their families or friends, all to see their surprised and shocked expressions.
Listening to the discussions of the passersby, Chen Shanhe also asked curiously, “Young man, did you watch last night’s live stream?”
“Since you’re a programmer, let me test you. What kind of technology do you think is necessary to pull off a live stream like Lin Mo’s?”
Lin Mo couldn’t help but sigh internally, “Old man, you’re asking the right person this question.”
But then again, I can’t tell you, can I? If I did, you would likely become a regular at the police station, and you might even get arrested and interrogated by Chen Shanhe.
After some thought, Lin Mo gave a vague answer: “It should… be difficult, let alone doing it on a global scale. I couldn’t even attempt it in a small neighborhood.”
“Yeah…” Chen Shanhe also sighed in admiration. “It’s difficult. With so many top talents in our country watching, we still got outsmarted. That Lin Mo really has some skills. To take down such a big family as Rakshasa in one night, all by himself, that’s quite rare.”
Lin Mo really wanted to say, “Stop praising me, old man. I have some shame.”
He shook his head thoughtfully and said seriously, “I don’t see it that way. Lin Mo is certainly impressive, but Chen Shanhe is no slouch either.”
Oh?
Chen Shanhe was slightly taken aback.
What’s this? Finally, someone is praising me?
As Chen Shanhe had been on the run, he had mostly heard various curses directed at him. Although he didn’t mind, it was rare to hear someone praising him, and he was rather curious to hear more.
He asked with interest, “What do you mean by that? Let’s hear your thoughts.”
Lin Mo was also gradually realizing that he and this old gentleman really did hit it off, and even the grim mood from being forced to leave his hometown and Grand Xia was lifting significantly.
He said very seriously, “Look, this Chen Shanhe, self-made, built up such formidable power, he’s practically Rakshasa’s Emperor.”
“And yet he managed to sit securely on his throne for so many years without a single issue, doesn’t that prove his capability?”
“Moreover, most importantly, now the whole world is looking for him. Can they find him? Not at all! If they can’t find him now, perhaps he’ll be hard to find in the future too!”
Chen Shanhe curiously asked, “How do you know they haven’t caught him yet? Maybe he’s already been secretly arrested? After all, even if he were caught, it’s possible they wouldn’t announce it, right?”
Lin Mo shook his head and analyzed again, “Look at last night’s news, anything related to the Chen Family was basically released by the authorities, and the focus of the whole world now is how to capture Chen Shanhe.”
“Do you think if they had really caught him, they would keep it a secret?”
“Not only would they not, but I think it would definitely be widely publicized, known by everyone.”
“That would truly highlight their precision, wouldn’t it?~”
Chen Shanhe nodded thoughtfully and remarked with a smile, “Young man, you’re wasting your talents as a programmer. You should be a military strategist. I think you have the skills for it, the talent.”
“So where do you think Chen Shanhe is right now?”
Where was Chen Shanhe?
Lin Mo followed the crowd taking a few steps forward and replied, “Wow, old man, you really ask the tough questions! Who could guess that? He might have fled abroad, or he could be hiding somewhere.”
“It’s even possible that you are Chen Shanhe, right?”
Buzz!
Chen Shanhe was startled, his mind momentarily clogged.
His brows furrowed involuntarily.
Had he been exposed?
Fortunately, he had experienced enough significant events to maintain composure, quickly regaining his calm so that even Lin Mo, up close, could hardly catch the slight change in his demeanor.
Suppressing the unease in his heart, Chen Shanhe laughed and said, “Young man, you’re really joking too much. Still, I do wish I were Chen Shanhe, to live a life like an emperor, how happy would that be, right? Hahaha…”
“But you know, young man, I don’t look a bit like that fellow. Why would you think I might be him?”
Chen Shanhe was finding the young man in front of him more intriguing by the minute, even feeling a kind of fondness for talent.
If it were any other day,
he would have wanted to extend an olive branch, take him under his wing, and nurture his potential.
Lin Mo spoke up, “Hey, don’t mind me, I was just joking with you. And it’s not about looking alike to be Chen Shanhe, right? If Lin Mo could disguise himself, how could Chen Shanhe not? ”
“He only needs to change his appearance, then he could be anyone; he could be you, or me, or anyone else around. Looking dissimilar is more likely, isn’t it? Who would disguise themselves to look similar to their original face? Right!”
