Chapter 427: 156, what? I’m buying breakfast for Chen Shanhe? Lin Mo is confused_1
Several hours later, Lin Mo boarded a private jet bound for Bern International Airport.
At the same time, in another military airport in Annan, Chen Shanhe also boarded a private jet heading for Japan.
The two planes streaked across the dark sky, heading in different directions, moving farther and farther away.
Inside the cabin.
The layout of the private jet was extremely luxurious, with a bathroom, a big bed, clean clothes… it was hardly any different from a small room.
The only downside was that there were only two bathrooms, so Lin Mo and the others had to put up with the odors emanating from their bodies, letting Li Jinwen and Lin Siyu take their baths first.
Four big guys sat on luxurious airline seats that totally mismatched their get-ups, smoking, and discussing their gains from the trip.
Li Jinshan pointed to the liquor cabinet next to him and said, “Li, get that bottle of red wine out for us to drink, as a celebration.”
The cabin was equipped with a dedicated cabin crew, but they usually refrained from ordering the flight attendants around.
The juniors were fine, but giving orders to strangers always felt somewhat embarrassing.
There was no helping it,
They had spent the first half of their lives being ordered around, and although they had since transitioned between social classes, the characteristics ingrained in them hadn’t changed and would be hard to change in a short period.
“Alright, is it this bottle?”
Zhang Li certainly wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity to show off in front of his potential father-in-law. He diligently took out the red wine from the cabinet, used the opener, and brought over a few wine glasses.
They didn’t bother with a decanter either, pouring each person a third of a glass of red wine straight away.
The first glass went to Lin Changshui, the second to Li Jinshan, and the third was placed before Lin Mo.
Lin Changshui pushed his glass aside and said, “I don’t drink this stuff, it’s sour and not tasty, and so expensive, Maotai is good enough for me.”
“Ah, alright, I’ll get it for you.” Zhang Li took out a bottle of the new Maotai Year of the Dragon and put it on the table: “I’ll open it for you.”
Watching him run back and forth, Li Jinshan remarked emotionally, “Truly a good kid, if your uncle had a daughter, I’d definitely introduce her to you.”
After saying this, he looked at Lin Changshui and asked, “In-law, don’t you think it’s about time to arrange the marriage between Li and Siyu? We’ve all survived great dangers this time; there’s undoubtedly good fortune to come.”
“Although we can’t restore our identities just yet, we can’t delay the kids’ matters. Marrying early means you can become a grandfather earlier.”
Lin Changshui poured a glass of Maotai zodiac liquor, took a sniff below his nose, and said with a smile, “I have no objections, it’s up to the young people, they can arrange it whenever they want.”
Lin Mo also felt that it was time to consider this matter, after all, the two had been together day and night for over a year.
If not for the family’s misfortunes, he might have become an uncle by now.
Just then, Lin Siyu and Li Jinwen came out of the bathroom, drying their hair and saying, “Dad, we’ve finished washing, you lot should hurry up and take a bath, or else we’ll have to reheat the water later.”
Even with a wealth of money, heating a tub of water at thirty thousand feet was still quite troublesome.
The hot water on the plane was limited, and each heating took quite a while.
Lin Mo said with a smile, “No rush for the bath. Little sister, we were just discussing your and Li’s situation. Have you thought about when to tie the knot?”
Although Chen Shanhe’s threat still loomed, and they were bound to encounter various troubles in the future,
Life must go on,
Living in constant fear is meaningless. Life is but a short few decades, and it’s not worth being consumed by Chen Shanhe for the rest of one’s existence.
Moreover, the initial situation was one of enemies strong and us weak, the strength disparity was very significant, but now it had entered a stalemate phase. Although Chen Shanhe still had the upper hand, Lin Mo was no longer the powerless small figure he once was.
Leaving other things aside,
If only he knew where Chen Shanhe was, he could immediately offer compensation that would excite mercenaries around the globe, to assassinate Chen Shanhe and his family.
Now, the competition was really about who would reveal their flaws first or expose themselves to the opponent’s gun.
Zhang Li’s cheeks were slightly red, and he didn’t speak, looking down.
Lin Siyu was also a bit embarrassed, scolding, “Sister, look at my brother.”
This time Li Jinwen did not come to her aid but instead echoed, “Little sister, I also think Li is quite good, and didn’t you tell me before…”
“Ah! Sister!!!” Lin Siyu stomped her foot, and even her earlobes turned red.
“Stomp lighter, or you might break the plane.” Lin Changshui scolded, and as a father also asked, “You’re not so young anymore, give the man a straight answer; if you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone good for you.”
Zhang Li hastily waved his hands, his voice desperate, “Uncle… please, don’t joke, I… I…”
The two who normally seemed rough and casual were all deflated when it came to serious matters.
Lin Mo spoke impatiently, “Li, if I had been like you back then, I reckon your sister-in-law would’ve run off with someone else already.”
“Be brave, man up! Big lads should have courage!”
Be brave, he must be brave!
Zhang Li mentally cheered himself on and slowly raised his head. He lifted up the half glass of white liquor on the table and gulped it down, but couldn’t help coughing repeatedly.
Everyone waited in silence for his performance.
After about ten seconds, having steeled his resolve, Zhang Li looked up, gazed straight into Lin Siyu’s eyes, and said, “Siyu… will you marry me? I will make you happy for life.”
Lin Siyu blushed like a child caught stealing snacks from someone else’s home, hiding behind Li Jinwen.
