Chapter 238: 128, Chen Shanhe personally leads the team, secretly surrounds Zhangzhuang Village! _7
 

Thud… Thud thud…

Soon,

a woman’s cautious voice arose, “Who’s there?”

It was not Li Jinwen’s voice, but his mother-in-law Zhao Huixian’s.

He took a deep breath and said softly, “Mom, it’s me, Mo.”

The next second,

the door cracked open just wide enough for a person to pass through, revealing Zhao Huixian’s anxious expression.

“Come in quickly… quickly…” Zhao Huixian let the ‘stranger’ Mo in, glanced left and right to make sure no one was outside, closed the door in a hurry, and asked with a furrowed brow of concern, “Mo, you’re finally back! Is everything Jin Wen said true?”

It was not surprising that Zhao Huixian could recognize Lin Mo even after a full makeover, because that morning Li Jinwen had already convened a family meeting to tell them everything.

In it he particularly described Lin Mo’s clothing and his appearance after disguising himself.

Lin Mo took a deep breath, filled with regret, and said, “Mom, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault…”

“Enough, stop talking about that, you were trying to protect Jin Wen, I understand,” Zhao Huixian said as she walked, instructing, “Right now, your dad is pretty angry. Just go along with whatever he says, and don’t fuel the fire, okay?”

Lin Mo nodded, saying nothing more.

It was only when he walked into the living room that Lin Mo realized, though the lights were off, with the exception of Lin Xiaoxiao, basically everyone else in the family was present.

Despite being mentally prepared, everyone was taken aback upon seeing the ‘strange’ person enter the living room.

The deep web’s disguise technology was indeed powerful, completely transforming his appearance with no flaws to be seen. Even with Li Jinwen’s prior explanation, they were still visibly shocked.

Lin Mo looked around and, with eyes full of heavy apology, said to his father, “Dad, I’m sorry, it was me who brought trouble upon us all.”

Lin Changshui’s face was as still as water; he took a deep breath and scolded, “What am I to say to you? At 30 years old, you’re still so impulsive, leaving terrestrial troubles alone and stirring up heavenly ones.”

“Putting your mother and me at risk doesn’t matter; we’re old enough to face whatever comes. But didn’t you think that you are someone with a daughter, a wife?”

“Also, who taught you these makeup and disguise tricks? These crooked ways?”

Listening to Lin Changshui’s endless scolding, Xu Qin cut him off and said, “Enough already, Old Lin, what’s done is done, can’t you say less?”

“Do you think the child wanted to cause trouble? The situation must have been very urgent, otherwise, don’t you know what kind of person Mo is? He wouldn’t be so impulsive.”

After saying this,

Xu Qin looked at Lin Mo with concern and asked, “Son, Jin Wen only gave us an overview today. Can you tell us what exactly happened?”

Li Jinwen’s heart nearly broke watching her parents repeatedly question Lin Mo.

Tears began to fall involuntarily.

She knew the inside story.

In fact, everything that had happened today was a consequence of the father going to Lvkai Group to demand wages, and to prevent her father from feeling guilty, Lin Mo had specifically instructed her the night before not to reveal the truth during her description of events, not to let everyone know that it was because her dad went to Lvkai Group to ask for money that their family had an accident and fell into the current predicament.

If that were the case, her dad would be guilty to death!

Therefore, Lin Mo planned to take all the blame on himself and silently bear it all!

That was his responsibility as a son!

Because of this, the events Li Jinwen described to everyone that morning were entirely different from the truth.

Feeling the puzzled gazes of everyone, Lin Mo knew that if he didn’t explain in detail, they wouldn’t follow his lead.

Telling the direct truth was definitely not an option,

His father’s health was already in the process of recovering, and if he knew he had implicated the whole family, anything could happen.

As the head of the family, Lin Mo chose to take the blame, preferring to let his parents blame him rather than feel guilty themselves.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo took a deep breath and recounted a version of events he had planned in advance.

In his story, it was he who took Li Jinwen out for a casual stroll in the streets, only to run into a drunkard who harassed Li Jinwen.

Lin Mo, unable to restrain his anger, had a scuffle with the man, who later wanted to go back to his car to get a weapon but didn’t even make it to where he had parked before being hit and killed by a speeding truck.

Because of surveillance cameras, the police didn’t hassle Lin Mo after they arrived; they took his statement and let him go home.

But to his great surprise, two days ago Uncle Tai told him the drunkard’s grandfather was the influential Chen Shanhe, who had already made threats to make Lin Mo’s entire family pay the price.

Lin Changshui frowned and asked, “So what did this Uncle Tai say to you?”

“Uncle Tai told us to leave quickly, to get out of here, saying Chen Shanhe’s influence is significant…” Lin Mo emphasized Chen Shanhe’s background to his family in detail.

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

They too realized this was an irreconcilable conflict, and it was not possible to solve it through any official channels.

The only option left now was to leave quickly, to depart the village and live in anonymity elsewhere.

Facing the silent crowd, Lin Mo sighed, filled with self-blame, and said, “Dad… I didn’t know, I really didn’t know they were such a big deal, that they’d take action this ruthlessly. But at that moment, I had no choice, we need to leave quickly now, whatever needs to be said can wait until we’re on the road.”
