Chapter 480: 181, from start to finish, was this all a performance by you, Grand Xia? _1
Chen Shanhe entered the office with mixed emotions, picked up the red phone on the desk, let out a light sigh, and placed the phone to his ear.
This call was extremely important for him—it could directly determine whether the Chen Family could still hold their ground on this planet.
Once his emotions settled completely, Chen Shanhe’s voice slowly rose, “Duke, hello, I am Chen Shanhe.”
His tone wasn’t obsequious or filled with flattery like Ichiro Toyota’s because Chen Shanhe was very clear that such an attitude would not help matters move in a better direction.
Begging for mercy is the behavior of the weak; the real secret to preserving the Chen Family lay in showing one’s value to others.
As long as the benefits were sufficient, Chen Shanhe didn’t mind being someone’s dog at all.
Johnson Hester’s tone grew increasingly cold, filled with mockery as he said, “Mr. Chen really has incredible capabilities, a man of Grand Xia nationality, yet able to take control of a country that’s not so weak in just over two years—it’s truly admirable.”
Every word he said was actually orchestrated by Lin Mo, all with a single goal in mind.
To find a way to get Chen Shanhe to come to America.
This was the simplest solution to the big problem that Chen Shanhe posed, and for this call, Lin Mo had been preparing for over two years.
Of course, if this plan didn’t succeed, Lin Mo also had other strategies in place.
At this moment, hearing the Duke’s mockery from America, Chen Shanhe’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, offering no explanations, simply replying calmly, “Mr. Hester, I merely wish to survive, that’s all.”
“Since you know my identity, then you should also know why I returned to Japan, all because of that guy named Lin Mo…”
Chen Shanhe was speaking the truth, as well as his innermost thoughts.
If it weren’t for Lin Mo, he would likely still be fishing by the riverside in Rakshasa City, instead of rushing to deal with a damned series of troubles in Japan, thousands of miles away.
“Alright, I don’t want to listen to your story,” Johnson Hester interrupted him, questioning, “I just want to confirm one thing, are you an undercover agent sent by Grand Xia?”
“As for your dealings with that certain Lin Mo, there are far too many inconsistencies. How could a mere mover become so powerful in such a short time, and even have the assistance of the world’s top hacker?”
“Or could it be that from the very beginning, this has all been a play staged by your Grand Xia?”
Why did Lin Mo become so powerful?
How did he gain the assistance of the world’s top hacker?
Heaven knows, these were questions that Chen Shanhe had pondered for more than two years without finding an answer.
In pursuit of the answers to these questions, he had reviewed all the surveillance and intelligence on Lin Mo countless times, including the accounts of Lin Mo’s schooling days and so on…
It could be said that Chen Shanhe was the person in the world who understood Lin Mo’s experiences even better than Lin Mo himself.
Yet after so much investigation, the results were far from satisfactory.
The mystery surrounding Lin Mo remained unsolved, unexplained.
At many times, Chen Shanhe even had the intuition—could there be some supernatural force behind Lin Mo?
“Duke, please trust my sincerity,” Chen Shanhe knew he had to demonstrate his value, or else this call might very well end unpleasantly.
He hurriedly added, “I am aware of the suspicion surrounding these matters, and to earn your trust, I am willing to share some of Grand Xia’s secrets with you.”
“For instance, the mathematical formula for glide-path ballistic motion, as well as the computational model that runs it!”
In recent years, Grand Xia’s technological development had been extremely rapid, and a series of black technologies in military tech had been emerging endlessly.
Among them, the technology that the whole world fears the most are the various intercontinental and long-range missiles equipped with glide-path ballistics.
This type of missile has one major feature: the launching and target endpoints are precise, but the trajectory in between is not the common parabolic one; instead, it engages in various irregular movements.
Such movement is unpredictable, making interception an even more remote possibility.
It was with this technology that Grand Xia managed to become an invincible presence within the Second Island Chain.
America spared no effort, talent, or military spending to unravel the principle behind this technology, but to this moment, there has been no breakthrough.
Honestly,
when Johnson Hester heard that Chen Shanhe was in possession of such high-level confidential information, he was truly tempted.
If what he said was true, just the merit of cracking the glide-path ballistics alone would be enough to ensure his invincibility in the next elections.
If Chen Shanhe could really provide such top-secret information, then it wouldn’t be just about him wanting to become the King of Japan—he could very well secure a position for himself in America.
Regrettably…
Johnson Hester was very clear about one thing—that Lin Mo, pulling strings from behind the scenes, was also Grand Xia nationality.
And through previous conversations, Hester also learned that Lin Mo was a more traditional Grand Xia national, with profound feelings for his own country.
He once asked Lin Mo whether he needed help arranging green cards for his entire family to become Americans, with a promising future to become a renowned American family. However, Lin Mo’s reply was simple: he would eventually return home.
