Chapter 484: 183, after fighting for a whole three years, we can finally determine the winner!_1
Three hours later, Chen Shanhe, with all the gifts prepared by Qian Sheng, embarked on a private jet bound for America with Ichiro Toyota.
At an altitude of ten thousand meters, inside the cabin.
Chen Shanhe sat calmly by the window, peering through the thick glass with a mind full of heavy thoughts at the glittering lights below, which belonged to a region in Japan.
Ichiro Toyota, concerned, asked, “Chen Sang, what are you thinking about?”
Chen Shanhe didn’t speak but silently took out his phone and opened a communication link that he hadn’t accessed for a long time.
This was the link that Lin Mo had once used to contact him under the guise of the Abyss Organization, and later, Chen Shanhe had tried various means to reestablish contact with Lin Mo.
It wasn’t for any other reason, but when Chen Shanhe felt the need to talk to someone, the figure of Lin Mo would unconsciously appear in his mind.
The chat history on the phone interface ended a year ago when Chen Shanhe had sent a voice call request to Lin Mo, but the other party had not answered.
“Is it you who’ll be waiting for me in America?”
Chen Shanhe frowned, his aged finger resting on the button for the voice call request, but after a moment of hesitation, he still didn’t make the call.
The answer would soon be revealed; whether it was a trap set by Lin Mo, he would know in just a few hours.
Confidence wasn’t lacking in Chen Shanhe’s heart; even if Lin Mo had enticed him with some conditions or established a deal for mutual benefit, allowing the Duke of America to help him set up this situation, he was confident in his ability to turn the tables.
Just the mathematical model of a glide trajectory would be more than enough to counter all the benefits Lin Mo could offer.
….
At the same time, on the other side.
America, Washington D.C.
Inside the villa.
It was already evening, and both Lin Mo and Li Jinwen were awake, lying on the warm, comfortable bed, talking about some interesting events from the past.
“Husband, I never expected we could go through so much together,” said Li Jinwen, leaning on Lin Mo’s strong arm, her voice tinged with relief, “With all the dangers we’ve faced before, if we had been slightly careless even once, our whole family might be reuniting in the underworld by now.”
“Looking back, it all feels like a dream.”
Yes,
Lin Mo also often felt a sense of unreality, as if his current life and all he had experienced were but a spectacular and perilous dream.
Many times, in a state between sleeping and waking, Lin Mo would feel as if everything— the Intelligence System, Chen Shanhe, the Duke of America—might disappear without a trace once he woke up, leaving him the tireless, cheery construction worker who could earn a few hundred dollars a day.
But reality is reality,
The varied experiences of these three years, the people he met, the countries he visited were all so familiar, so impressively memorable.
Lin Mo put down his phone and kissed Li Jinwen’s cheek, teasingly asking, “So, do you prefer your life before, or do you like this one better?”
Faced with this question, Li Jinwen’s expression became hesitant.
She felt comfort in the stability of her old life but also felt her current life was enriching, with exposure to views she could never have seen before, sitting with famous stars at dinner, free to travel to any country and do anything without financial worries.
Who could resist such a life?
It was not just enjoyment for herself, but also for her parents, her beloved family, especially for the carefree growth of her two children, something Li Jinwen had never dared to hope for in the past.
Back then, they had not wanted a second child, not for lack of love, but simply because they couldn’t afford it.
After much thought, Li Jinwen gave her answer, “I do prefer our life now, but as long as I can be with you, with our precious daughter Xiaoxiao and son Lin Xi, I’m content with any kind of life.”
Lin Mo tickled her nose, smiling, “Don’t worry, the good days will continue, our biggest trouble, Chen Shanhe, has taken the bait, and maybe by tomorrow morning, our family can properly celebrate.”
“For three years, our parents have been dragged around by us, our family and friends put at risk, it’s time to end this kind of life.”
“We can soon shed all our disguises and live under the sun with our identities, going anywhere we want.”
What?
Chen Shanhe could be dealt with tonight?
Li Jinwen, surprised, asked, “Husband, didn’t you say that Chen Shanhe is now the de facto ruler of Japan? Will he obediently come to America as you expect?”
She was aware of Lin Mo’s general plan, and the rest of the family knew as well.
She also was aware that Johnson Hester, supported by her husband, had now become the Duke of America.
After all, she was the one who had watched, from the closest quarters, as Lin Mo grew step by step from a construction worker to his current status.
What surprised her was how fast things were progressing, especially since Johnson Hester had not yet held a national address as the Duke; technically, he wasn’t entirely yet the Duke of America.
“Yeah, it’s been pretty smooth,” Lin Mo nodded, explaining, “Just now, Hester informed me that he has applied a lot of pressure to Japan as I requested, and Chen Shanhe is already panicking and has boarded a private jet on his way to America.”
“If he is not delayed, he will land at Washington D.C.’s international airport in about five hours and, under CIA escort, will proceed to the palace to meet with Hester.”
