They watched helplessly as Lin Mo entered the police station; now they had no idea about his condition, whether he would be subjected to torture, whether he might be in any danger, or if he could even walk out of the police station…
No one knew the answers to these questions, and nobody dared to guarantee anything.
Lin Changshui sighed and couldn’t help but complain, "Ah…"
"It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t insisted on returning to the country, Mo wouldn’t have had to take on such risks—it’s who has wronged my son!"
As he spoke, his voice began to choke, and by the ti he finished speaking, his eyes were already bright red, tears swirling in his cloudy eyes.
No one else spoke; the mood was very heavy.
Li Jinwen, seeing the low spirits of everyone at ho, quickly tried to reassure them, "Everyone really shouldn’t bla themselves too much. Actually, it’s not just you who wanted to co back, Lin Mo has always been looking for an opportunity to return to the country."
"Life abroad truly isn’t suitable for us."
"And he has made many preparations, not only finding us an absolutely safe place but also ensuring his own safety in several ways."
"Duke Johnson Hester from Arica will also be arriving in Grand Xia in the next couple of days, so please rest assured; Lin Mo will definitely co back safe and sound."
"Everyone believes, how could he bear to abandon our family?"
Li Jinwen’s words acted like a shot of adrenaline, slightly easing the atmosphere in the living room.
Lin Siyu also chid in, "My sister-in-law is right, we’ve co through all sorts of difficulties; how could we possibly capsize in this ditch."
"My brother will definitely co back safely!"
"You don’t want to give my brother the sight of you all sick when he gets back, do you?"
"That’s right, if our family puts our hearts together, there’s no hurdle we can’t overco. We’ve survived so many tis before, and this ti will be no different!"
"Dad, you just rest assured!"
"Brother will certainly be okay; we will all be okay."
The family encouraged and comforted each other, boosting each other’s spirits, which helped stabilize their emotions considerably.
They believed in Lin Mo and also trusted that their family would surely turn misfortune into a blessing.
....
Grand Xia, Imperial Capital.
In a secluded manor on the outskirts.
A number of genuine big shots from various fields were sitting in the conference room, watching the interrogation and questioning between Lin Mo and Bai Feng unfold.
At that mont, Lin Mo was recounting so of the things he had done after going to Arica.
The existence of the system absolutely could not be disclosed, and Lin Mo couldn’t possibly fabricate a character like Tai in front of the state’s power, so he had to rationalize his entire process as much as possible.
Whether he could completely clarify this issue determined whether he could smoothly carry out his plans going forward.
After all, if he himself was shrouded in doubt, even if he produced diagrams of those top-tier technologies and weapons, he would probably still be t with the country’s suspicion and thus would not be able to live a truly ordinary life.
And as they listened to so of Lin Mo’s experiences, the big shots present couldn’t help but nod, occasionally discussing in low voices.
"To be able to predict the outco of that war, this guy is really a military genius."
"Hmm, it’s quite impressive. To have to flee with his family, to survive, and more importantly, to amass power for revenge, I don’t think I could have done it as perfectly as he did."
"It’s a pity, such a talent would be a fortune for our country if he could be put to use for us."
"Don’t speak so soon; who says he can’t be put to use for us?"
This statent caused many to furrow their brows.
Because this idea was definitely the most reliable one they had heard today, and the more they thought about it, the more plausible it seed.
Moreover, if that’s the case, it could explain why Lin Mo just returned to Grand Xia to surrender himself, and why Johnson Hester has co to Grand Xia.
It all seems a bit too hurried.
The elderly leader didn’t stop the others from discussing. Instead, he listened quietly to everyone’s thoughts while contemplating the whole affair.
The corners of the elderly leader’s mouth lifted slightly, a knowing smile curling on his lips as he spoke with a playful tone, "The kid sure knows how to stir up trouble. It looks like he made quite a few preparations and arrangents for his return."
"Do they intend to make Lin Mo’s interrogation public, or even interview him?"
The old man nodded, "It’s exactly as you’ve guessed!"
The leader responded detachedly, "Manage the current situation. Don’t worry about them; let them wait outside as long as they wish."
"It hasn’t been long since Lin Mo surrendered, and all those people have already gathered. Such a ruse is too crude."
"Pass my words down to our people, let them handle it as they see fit."
The old man nodded, turned aside, took out his mobile phone, and began to call his subordinates, instructing them on their next course of action.
The leading elder looked around and calmly broke into the discussion, asking, "Let’s hear it, what are your thoughts now? I seem to have heard soone considering that this is all a trap set by Johnson Hester?"
His voice wasn’t loud, but it brought complete silence as soon as he spoke.
The elder who had brought up the idea spoke again, "I was the one who suggested it, and I think it’s a possibility."
"If it’s not a trap laid by Johnson Hester, how else could Lin Mo have tripped up Chen Shanhe, or even taken out Ichiro Toyota?"
The leader nodded slowly, not offering his own opinion, but looking to the others, he asked, "What about you, do you share this view?"
No one spoke up, but two or three individuals nodded slowly.
"Good, since most are in agreent, then instruct our people to shift their approach in the interrogation," the leader said slowly. "Also, it’s ti to switch out the interrogators."
"That Bai Feng is too emotionally involved; replace him with soone whose thinking can keep up with Lin Mo."
"Choose the specific replacents yourselves!"
....
Overseas, in a hidden safehouse.
Dark and the experts in internet technology he had assembled were also working diligently to monitor the network in the area where Lin Mo was located, as well as trends on the internet.
The fishing boat was a crucial elent in this operation.
One deep-web expert, after finishing his tasks, picked up his coffee for a sip and said with a smile, "Compared to last ti, this mission is clearly much easier. It seems that the Abyss affair is finally coming to an end."
All present were mbers who had participated in the previous livestream, so they were familiar with Lin Mo’s situation.
Honestly,
even though they were legends in the deep web, each with their own incredible life experiences, when they talked about the Abyss, they did so with imnse respect and admiration.
The reason wasn’t complicated; who wouldn’t idolize soone who, with his own strength, could confront a massive threat, while still managing to keep his family safe up to this mont?
Without a doubt, Lin Mo was that formidable character.
Moreover, they had all expressed their concerns to Dark at one ti, doubting the rits of the Abyss’s next moves. However, no one expected that he would indeed proceed as he did, and at least for now, it seed his plan had already succeeded by almost half.
This was a favorable developnt. What they needed to do next was to keep an eye on the cybersecurity side of things. Perhaps they could genuinely help the Abyss’s family return to life under the sun.
"Who could disagree? In my view, the Abyss’s plan this ti is even crazier than the previous livestream," said Dark, multitasking as he monitored the supercomputer. "And without his help, I might not be alive today!"
"Everybody, keep it up. Successfully complete this mission, and I will satisfy your curiosity while also taking your technical skills to the next level," he encouraged.
"Believe in my promise!"
