Indeed.
The Intelligence System did not provide information about that car accident, and although Lin Mo was somewhat disappointed, this was within his expectations.
The mechanism by which the Intelligence System generates intelligence is random, it does not necessarily create it just because you want it.
Since it’s only the first day, it is actually quite normal not to get the information he wanted.
It had been the same in the past.
Take football matches for example, Lin Mo had to follow them for nearly half a month before he finally got a score prediction.
However.
Even though he did not get the information he wanted, among the 10 pieces of information he received today, there were quite a few useful ones.
First of all, his sister and mother would wake up one after another in the next few days, and his father’s health was gradually recovering.
These were very important pieces of good news.
At any time, the safety of a family member’s life is of the utmost importance.
Next was the information about Lvkai Group and Chen Kainan.
“I didn’t expect that Chen Kainan was actually using drugs?”
“A chairman of such a big conglomerate, he’s actually into drugs?”
“Is this the world of the wealthy?”
“Can 1 achieve any goals with this information?”
Lin Mo slowly rotated the prayer beads in his hands, considering how to make good use of the information he had.
After a moment, he shook his head.
He couldn’t come up with a very good plan.
To use this information to threaten the other party? That was an even more preposterous idea.
Real bigshots have eyes and ears everywhere; unless you have as much power as they do, whatever you do is in vain!
However…
These two pieces of information, although not immediately useful, did not mean they would be useless in the future.
It’s like a game of chess.
The two pieces of criminal information about Chen Kainan were like setting up the leading cannon in the game.
The cannon does not fire lightly!
Yet at the critical moment, it could deliver a lethal blow!
Of course, the current priority was still to determine whether the car accident was an accident or a deliberate trap.
The next day, early morning.
The family sat at the dining table.
The food was prepared by the hospital’s caregivers, it was fragrant and neither too meaty nor too plain, with balanced nutrition.
The rice and shrimp were made into a seafood porridge, along with some appetizing side dishes and egg custard.
The taste was very good.
Just the smell was enough to be mouthwatering.
But the family did not have much appetite.
Even the most exotic delicacies would have no taste for them at this moment.
Lin Mo sighed internally and took the initiative to break the silence, turning his head to Li Jinwen and saying, “Wife, 1 want to discuss something with you.” “Mhm.”
Li Jinwen looked at Lin Mo.
“1 don’t plan on letting Xiaoxiao go to school for the time being.”
With no clues about the car accident, Lin Mo really didn’t feel at ease letting his daughter out of his sight.
In the hospital, they could look after each other, but if something were to happen to Lin Xiaoxiao at school, Lin Mo didn’t dare to imagine whether he could bear it.
“Ah?”
Li Jinwen was momentarily stunned.
What does he mean?
Why wouldn’t he let Xiaoxiao go to school?
Upon hearing Lin Mo’s words, Li Jinshan and Zhao Huixian both put down their chopsticks.
Even Lin Xiaoxiao looked curiously at Lin Mo.
“What’s wrong?” Li Jinwen asked, puzzled, immediately adding, “If you’re worried about the pick-up and drop-off, I spoke to Dad yesterday; he agreed to take care of taking Xiaoxiao to and from school!”
Her father, Li Jinshan, nodded, “Yes, that’s possible. 1 always wake up early, so there’s no problem taking Xiaoxiao to school.”
Her mother, Zhao Huixian, also hurriedly said, “Mo, I think you haven’t considered this thoroughly. Although something big happened at home, Xiaoxiao is still young. Her studies can’t be neglected. Once she falls behind, it will be very hard to catch up. Her life journey is still long, and also, staying here, she can’t really help with anything.”
“What do you think?”
Zhao Huixian, a former teacher, valued education highly.
All four pairs of eyes immediately converged on Lin Mo’s face.
Lin Mo was well aware that his family would react this way after he spoke.
He had already thought of a reason for this and said, “I just went to see Director Song, and he said that my parents and sister’s condition should stabilize in a few days, and afterwards, they will mainly need to recuperate.”
“My dad and mom have always wanted to go back to their hometown, so when their condition is stable, I plan to take them back home to recuperate.”
“I don’t want to stay in Rakshasa City anymore.”
Yes.
Lin Mo had already decided last night that no matter whether he could uncover the truth behind the car accident or not, once his parents and sister were a bit healthier, he would leave Rakshasa City and return to his hometown.
This was not running away, but a disguise!
By better disguising himself and then hiding behind the shadows, he could manipulate everything.
Only in this way could he and his family be safer!
Although Rakshasa City offered more opportunities, with the Intelligence System in hand, Lin Mo believed that no matter where he was, he could live well!
Hearing this, his in-laws exchanged glances, wanting to say something, but ultimately, they didn’t speak up.
Moreover, if Xiaoxiao really were to transfer back to her hometown for school, then her taking a break from school for a while wouldn’t be a big issue at all.
After all, the teaching materials used were different.
Even if she finished an entire term, she might still have to start anew upon returning to her hometown.
They looked towards Li Jinwen.
They wanted to hear what Li Jinwen thought.
“I have no objections, 1’11 listen to you!” Li Jinwen pondered for quite some time and finally, looking at Lin Mo, nodded very firmly and said, “They say a woman follows her husband, whether he be a dog or a rooster. You are the head of the household, and for such a major decision, it’s fine for you to decide! If you want to stay in Rakshasa City, then we will stay here.”
“If you want to return to our hometown, then we will go back.”
Seeing that their daughter agreed with Lin Mo’s thoughts, her in-laws had even less to say.
“Hmm.”
Lin Mo looked at Li Jinwen and nodded tacitly.
By now, all of Lin Mo’s worries about the future had basically been taken care of.
Next, all he needed to do was devote all his efforts to one thing, which was to find every possible way to gather intelligence about the car accident!
In the following three days, Lin Mo repeated the same processes every day.
He would stake out at the accident scene, look at his father’s phone, watch Chen Kainan’s speeches, and keep up with the news about the Lvkai Group.
Besides that, Lin Mo would also pay some attention to the news and speeches of Chen Shanhe before his retirement every day.
As for the intelligence that could make money, Lin Mo planned to put it aside for a while.
Ensuring that his family was out of danger was the top priority!
As for making money, there would be plenty of time in the future!
However, regrettably, after three whole days, Lin Mo still had not gathered any useful information.
He even began to doubt, could this car accident really just be an accident?
Could it be there was no culprit at all, and everything was just him battling wits with the air?
As for Zhang Li’s words, could they just be due to his heavy burden, forming delusions in a state of confusion?
After all, many people do conjure up things that never happened in their imagination to shield their inner world from collapsing when they experience major life changes.
When Zhang Li came to, he was only conscious for a short time and his mind was not clear. It was possible that he spoke nonsensically.
Of course…
Unless Zhang Li woke up and told Lin Mo that he was talking nonsense, Lin Mo would continue the investigation!
He couldn’t leave his family’s safety in an unknown state!
Even if it was a fruitless effort to outwit the air, he still had to do it.
According to the Intelligence System, today was the day Lin Siyu would wake up.
3 pm.
At his sister’s bedside.
Lin Mo watched Chen Kainan’s videos on his phone while waiting in the hospital room for his sister to wake up.
The time mentioned in the intelligence was 3:49 p.m.
But around 3:40 p.m., there was still no sign of his sister waking up.
Lin Mo put down his phone and looked at his comatose sister.
“Siyu was sitting in the passenger seat at the time, so if Zhang Li sensed something was wrong, she might have noticed something too.”
“When she wakes up, I’ll find an opportunity to ask her. Maybe there will be a breakthrough!”
Time slowly slipped by.
Lin Mo started to get nervous, repeatedly glancing up at the clock on the wall.
45 minutes… 46 minutes… 47 minutes… 48 minutes…
Finally, as the second hand made its last tick, the time reached 3:49 p.m.
Without a second early or late, just at that moment, Lin Siyu, who had yet to show any sign of movement on the hospital bed, suddenly trembled at the tips of her fingers. Then, under the excited gaze of Lin Mo, she slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing this, a rare smile appeared on Lin Mo’s face!
It was the first time he had genuinely smiled in many days!
Click!
He pressed the call button on the wall and then gently held Lin Siyu’s hand, asking cautiously, “Sis, you’re awake. How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?”
Lin Siyu’s gaze was very dull.
There was no spark in it.
Upon hearing Lin Mo’s voice, she just slightly shifted her eyes to look at him.
Without speaking, without any expression.
As if a robot devoid of human emotion.
Upon seeing this, Lin Mo called out again, “Siyu? Sis? It’s me! I’m your brother!”
But Lin Siyu still showed no reaction whatsoever.
Her eyes looked lifeless.
Utterly listless.
“Siyu?”
A sense of dread suddenly gripped Lin Mo’s heart.
He remembered something mentioned in the intelligence about serious after-effects.
This…
Could this be the so-called after-effects?
How could this be?
Watching his sister’s listless face and vacant eyes, Lin Mo’s heart ached unbearably!
Would these after-effects continue forever… or were they just temporary?
If they were forever….
