Chapter 413: 150, Chen Shanhe is shocked! Lin Mo is far on the horizon, yet close at hand?_3
“Dad, be careful with safety.”
Li Jinshan spoke with a solemn expression, “Son, I think we should not leave for now. We’ll just wait outside the airport for you. That way, if there is anything we need to do, at least we can be there in time.”
“Don’t think that just because I’m old, I can’t move around. Maybe I could do something for you.”
He was also reluctant to leave Lin Mo and his in-laws behind, taking his daughter to flee alone.
In the earpiece, Dark could hear the conversation of Lin Mo’s family and added, “Abyss, I really envy you for having such a family.”
“I suggest you listen to them. Just stay near the airport. With me watching on the surveillance, their risk factor isn’t great. Currently, the police are focusing on checking inside the airport; the periphery is relatively safe for the time being.”
“If there’s any danger, I will notify them in time to leave.”
Since the conversation had reached this point, and if they were just staying on the outskirts of the airport, indeed, it wouldn’t cause too much impact.
He nodded in agreement but still reminded them, “Dad, wife, you can stay for now, but you must listen to me. If something is off later, run immediately without hesitation, and do not think about rescuing us.”
“Did you hear me?”
Both Li Jinwen and Li Jinshan nodded gravely.
After calming his family, Lin Mo put on a mask and a duckbill cap, then posted a message in the group.
“I’m preparing to come in now; you guys wait for me in the same spot.”
Pocketing his phone, Lin Mo stepped forward with measured strides towards the airport’s first security checkpoint, under the watchful eyes of his wife and father-in-law.
…
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
Ruyi Garden Community, Building 3, Apartment 2101.
A room transformed into a monitoring center.
A staff member placed a new stack of documents in front of Chen Shanhe’s desk, saying respectfully, “Elder Chen, here is the information for flights and trains departing between 8 and 9 a.m. There were two train services and one international flight that have only just started checking tickets.”
“We will only know of any delayed or canceled tickets a bit later.”
Chen Shanhe rubbed his slightly sore nose and began to check the passenger information sheets and the photos on the identities one by one again.
Since working from the morning, he hadn’t spotted any suspicious individuals.
However, Chen Shanhe wasn’t expecting to find something right away. It would be unrealistic, and too much ease would also make him uneasy.
It’s like fishing; no need to hurry, just take it slow.
As long as one can sit by the water and patiently wait, the fish will eventually bite.
One… after another… after another…
Chen Shanhe’s inspection pace was slow; it normally took him two to three minutes to finish reviewing a single delayed traveler’s report.
Fortunately, there weren’t many delayed passengers, and for those about to board trains or take off, he only needed to check the ones who hadn’t boarded yet.
As for those who had undergone makeup checks and were already on board, a quick glance at their information was sufficient.
Swoosh…
Just as Chen Shanhe was about to turn to the next passenger report, the phone on the table rang.
He set aside what he was doing and looked at the caller ID on the screen.
“Kong Tianxiang?”
“Why is he calling me at this time? What does it mean?”
Chen Shanhe took his phone and stepped out of the room.
However, what he failed to realize was that the very next passenger report he was about to check had the name Chen Jingkai on it, and had he seen the photo, he would have recognized it even more.
Because the person in the photo had just bought him breakfast that morning!
…
Chen Shanhe arrived in the living room and answered the call, his tone grave as he said, “Hello, what’s up?”
“Brother Shanhe, don’t be so cold, I’m just calling to tell you that you should leave while you can. If you don’t leave now, you might not be able to leave at all,” Kong Tianxiang asked in a mysterious tone, “Do you know who went to Northern Sea City?”
“Heh, do you think I’m one of those good-for-nothings from the Kong family?” Chen Shanhe snorted derisively and didn’t bother to be polite, immediately hanging up the call.
First of all, his relationship with the Kong family was very average, and he didn’t believe they had any good intentions calling at this time.
They are all old foxes, who is he trying to trick?
Moreover,
now that things had developed to this point, it didn’t matter who came to Northern Sea City, Chen Shanhe wasn’t going to back down.
He would be a god-slayer if a god stood in his way, a Buddha-slayer if Buddha did.
Either take down Lin Mo and restore his reputation, or tuck his tail and flee far overseas.
This was a life-or-death game.
Chen Shanhe put away his phone, and just as he was about to return to the surveillance room, he heard a knock at the door.
He walked to the door and pressed the video doorbell, seeing a man in his fifties, slightly overweight, dressed in a property management uniform, standing outside.
Chen Shanhe opened the door and politely asked, “Yes?”
The property manager, with an ingratiating smile, said politely, “Sir, no one lived in this suite before. The property management fee was half price because of this. If you are residing here now, then this year’s property management fee…”
Residents of this community were wealthy, and the property manager did not want to offend them.
Chen Shanhe didn’t make a fuss and replied, “Understood, I’ll have someone bring it over to you later.”
The property manager didn’t expect it to be so easy and quickly said, “Good, good, good, no rush, no rush. It’s fine whenever you find the time, sir.”
“Then I’ll get back to work. Sorry to have disturbed you.”
The property manager turned to leave.
Chen Shanhe watched his back, his brow furrowing, and called out, “Wait a second.”
The property manager turned his head, looking puzzled, and asked, “What’s the matter, sir?”
He could tell that this ‘sir’ was no ordinary person, and moreover, anyone who could afford to live in this community had a net worth of at least ten million.
They were not people he could afford to offend.
Chen Shanhe, with a smile on his face, asked courteously, “Young man, are you familiar with the residents downstairs? When did they move in?”
Since he wanted to recruit the young man he’d met today, he naturally took the opportunity to ask and learn more.
If suitable, Chen Shanhe truly planned to recruit him under his command, to use for his own purposes.
However,
after hearing the question, the property manager shook his head and honestly replied, “Ah? The ones downstairs? I’m not too familiar with them; it seems they moved in the same day as you, and they weren’t living here much before…”
The property manager hadn’t finished speaking when he saw the smile on Chen Shanhe’s face slowly solidify.
“They weren’t living here much before?”
“They moved in yesterday?”
Chen Shanhe mumbled to himself in disbelief.
“Yes, that’s right.”
The property manager nodded, “I’ll be off then. I still have things to take care of.”
Chen Shanhe didn’t respond.
He stood there like a robot that had short-circuited, his mind struggling to catch up.
A moment later, Chen Shanhe finally reacted. His pupils contracted slightly, trembling as if he had realized something incredibly unbelievable!
