Chapter 869: 436, not the slightest fear
In Long Yun’s eyes, this was nothing but sophistry. She absolutely did not believe there could be drug residues in Lin Mo’s body. Because if he had really taken the sedatives, it would be impossible for him to remain lucid, and the staff wouldn’t have gone missing. So, in her view, Lin Mo’s current behavior was just stubbornness and sophistry, trying to use psychological tactics to force her to give up the idea of testing. However, such petty tricks naturally couldn’t have any effect on Long Yun. She calmly watched Lin Mo and said, “You may propose conditions. As long as they’re not excessive, I can apply to the higher-ups.”
“Given your program team has repeatedly sared ,” Lin Mo stood up from the chair and walked step by step towards Long Yun. Others might be afraid of the cold aura emanating from this woman, but for Lin Mo, the word “fear” simply did not exist. After taking two or three steps, he stopped in front of Long Yun, pondered for a mont, and then said, “If the upcoming tests prove I’m fine, I want a public apology from your chief director, chief officer, and you. I think this demand isn’t too much for you, right?”
Long Yun sat while Lin Mo stood, and when their eyes t, Lin Mo looked down at her from a position of advantage. Combined with his chilling makeup, he easily overwheld the always aloof Long Yun. “An apology?” Long Yun tried hard to maintain a blank expression, but soon realized that as long as she kept looking at Lin Mo, her heart would involuntarily surge with fear. She couldn’t rember how many years it had been since she felt this way—back then in a foreign land, even when drug dealers pointed guns at her, she never felt a hint of fear.
The atmosphere in the room gradually solidified, and Long Yun’s internal pressure grew. Eventually, she took the initiative to avert her gaze, with a fleeting look of panic flashing across her face, though it vanished quickly and was barely noticeable. “Alright, I agree to your request.” After moving her gaze away, Long Yun’s mind gradually cald, and her heart, which had been beating faster, also beca steady. She did not communicate with Lin Mo again, but commanded towards the door, “Call the doctor in.” “Yes!” Soone outside quickly answered the order.
After a short while, a female doctor in a white coat walked in. She paused for a mont before regaining her composure. Clearly, the female doctor also sensed the awkward atmosphere in the room, but she didn’t point it out. Before entering, the doctor already understood her task. She walked timidly to Lin Mo’s side, trying her best not to look up at him, and said in a low voice, “Mr. Clown… Mr. Clown, I need to draw blood, please put your arm… in front of .” Because Lin Mo had repeatedly reminded others to address him as “Mr. Clown,” it had beco a tacit understanding among the staff of “Perfect Escape.” Not only them, but even most online audiences started referring to Lin Mo as “Mr. Clown.”
The blood drawing process went very quickly. Although the female doctor was deeply afraid inside, her professional skills were excellent, and she did not cause Lin Mo any pain during the procedure. In just a few seconds, she completed the blood draw. “Mr. Clown, press this cotton ball, it only takes 2 – 3 minutes.” The doctor instructed on post-draw precautions—these were common knowledge, but her tone unmistakably revealed her extre fear of Lin Mo. Lin Mo did as the doctor instructed and asked, “How long until the results?” The doctor imdiately answered, “30 minutes.” Long Yun slightly frowned and waved her hand, “You can leave now.”
Once more, only Long Yun and Lin Mo were left in the small eting room. Lin Mo glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already 7:35. Half an hour later, it would be 8:05, while the program “Perfect Escape” was scheduled to start at 8 o’clock. Clearly, even with the fastest completed check, he was destined to be late. Long Yun seed to have seen through Lin Mo’s mind and unusually took the initiative to say, “You don’t need to worry, even if you’re late, it’s not your fault, provided there’s really no drug residue in your body.” Lin Mo sat back in the chair and said seriously, “Sorry, ma’am, I’m not worried about being late; I’m concerned that apologizing in front of tens of millions of viewers would make you all lose face.” Long Yun expressionlessly responded, “Oh, that’s none of your concern.”
anwhile, in the “Perfect Escape” eting room, nearly all the senior staff related to the program group were gathered in this eting room, which was a full hundred square ters. Seven judges, the projection of Cannibal Ba, along with the chief director, chief officer, and heads of various departnts, were all gathered here. It could be said that this room gathered the core strength of the entire “Perfect Escape” program group.
“Bang!” Lieutenant General Wolf Head, the chief officer, slamd the oval eting table in frustration and stood up to question, “It’s been almost 20 minutes, and you still haven’t found any trace of those two missing staff?” It was clear he was in a state of extre anger. In fact, even if the plan against Lin Mo failed that night, it wasn’t irreparable—if not eliminated in one day, then two days; if not two, then three, both ti and thods were still available. But the key issue was, two living staff mbers had gone missing, and this was no small matter. Not to ntion how embarrassing it would be if exposed; more importantly, these were living people with families and social relations. Now, they are neither alive nor dead, and there’s no trace of them in the vast manor? Moreover, judging by Lin Mo’s attitude, he clearly intended to play dumb to the end, making it unavoidable to suspect that the two staff might be in danger, or even already hard.
