Chapter 553: 216, the special condition to meet Lin Mo!_2
 

The traffic generated by such trends was more than enough for countless self-media and professional media institutions to do everything in their power to pry the mouths open of the three people.

Every word they spoke, every letter, would be infinitely magnified on social platforms.

If, at that time, they said anything that affected the government or even the image of Rakshasa City, it could have unimaginable impacts.

Li Lingling and the others were very smart; they wouldn’t fail to understand such a simple matter.

Zhang Yihua was the first to nod and said, “Director Bai, the fact that you’ve allowed us to see Lin Mo has already helped us a lot. I’ll be the first to say that I accept all conditions and will cooperate fully with your work.”

“Thank you very much for your understanding,” Bai Feng turned to the other two, “How about you two, do you understand?”

Li Lingling nodded, “No problem, we’re also willing to comply with your conditions. Rest assured, Director Bai, both my husband’s and my lips are sealed, and we won’t go around talking nonsense!”

Liu Miao followed, saying, “My wife is right, Director Bai, you can rest assured, we can definitely prioritize, and we would not joke about such a matter!”

All three gave very affirmative answers, and it was only then that Bai Feng slowly said, “Well then, since everyone understands our work, please follow me, Lin Mo is waiting for you upstairs.”

Bai Feng led the way, with Zhang Yihua and the others excitedly following behind him.

The group of four walked down the long corridor and finally stopped in front of the director’s office door.

Knock… knock knock…

Bai Feng knocked on the door and looked back, “Remember what I told you before, don’t get too excited once you’re inside.”

“This is a police station, surveillance, and audio recording are all-encompassing, with no dead angles. I hope you understand that.”

The three exchanged glances and nodded emphatically.

At that moment, a voice they all knew too well came from the office: “Please come in.”

Hearing Lin Mo’s voice, Zhang Yihua and the others couldn’t help but think of the hardships they had endured over the years, and their mood became somewhat solemn unconsciously.

Just how difficult the journey they had weathered was, only they themselves knew.

Fortunately for them, after Chen Shanhe had left Grand Xia, their suffering had finally drawn to a close, and their days had gradually improved.

But they knew that for Lin Mo, everything was just beginning.

Creak…

Bai Feng gently twisted the doorknob, inching the door open.

The scene inside the office became gradually clearer through the widening gap, appearing before all four of them.

Their gaze quickly fixed on Lin Mo, who sat on the sofa, looking to be in fairly good spirits.

They observed Lin Mo, and Lin Mo observed them in return.

No one spoke, and it was finally Lingling who couldn’t hold back. Tears streaming down her face, she ran into the office and asked with a sobbing voice, “Lin Mo, how is my uncle’s family doing?”

The others stood behind Li Lingling, their gazes on Lin Mo, yet they remained silent.

Lin Mo, too, had not expected to see his former family members and good friends on his first day back in the country.

He smiled and said, “Cousin, don’t be upset, they’re all doing well, and my father-in-law misses your family too. I’ve often inquired about you from the outside, and I know you’ve had a tough time recently. I am sorry, it was all because I offended Chen Shanhe.”

“Our family truly feels sorry for all of you.”

What Lin Mo said came from the heart, and the core of his being.

He was that kind of person; it didn’t matter what he had to endure, but what he feared most was causing trouble for others, especially his family and friends.

Regrettably, before, he truly had no choice, even knowing his relatives and friends were suffering; he could not reach out to help. Because if his identity was exposed at that time, he may well have died at Chen Shanhe’s hands.

Sometimes small sacrifices are necessary for the greater strategy.

Lin Mo had persisted until now thanks to his unwavering determination.

The path was correct, it’s just that the cost was a bit too heavy.

Liu Miao casually waved his hand and said with a smile, “Brother-in-law, within the family, there’s no need to hold back. Although I really suffered, it’s thanks to those hard days that I could see who are truly worth my time.”

“I have never suffered much in my life; if it weren’t for you, there are many things I might never have understood,” added Zhang Yihua.

Following suit, Zhang Yihua said, “Old Lin, you’re speaking as if you’re an outsider. I’ve suffered a bit, too, but the outcome was good. The illness my mother had, has been cured, and the ‘Divine Enthronement’ anime has already been released. It’s just a pity you didn’t attend the premiere.”

“What’s more, I have good news for you: my studio has made a lot of money over the years. Now, it has become its own animation company and can even rank in the top ten nationwide.”

“This is an achievement I never even dared to dream of before.”

“All of this is thanks to your initial support. I really should thank you properly.”

“And I’ve been keeping your share of the money safe all this time. I made a point of checking today before coming—I already have 4.2 billion for you, enough for the two of us to spend for the rest of our lives.”

4.2 billion???

Upon hearing this figure, everyone other than Lin Mo widened their eyes in shock.

They knew that Zhang Yihua had been making a lot of money in the past two years, and each drama he shot brought in a large sum, but they only had a concept of earning money, without any idea of how much could be made.

Now, hearing that it was as much as several billions, who wouldn’t be surprised?

Who wouldn’t be astonished?

Liu Miao always considered himself wealthy. Since childhood, his family had been quite well off. Although taking over his father’s business hadn’t led to great progress, he had managed to maintain what his father had left behind.

That was no easy feat.

Even so, at the peak of their business, they had only about tens of millions in liquid assets at most.

And those were liquid assets, not pure profit to enjoy.

It was precisely for this reason that Liu Miao was so shocked and exaggerated when he heard that this seemingly average, slightly chubby man with glasses could casually come up with tens of billions.

Liu Miao couldn’t help but express his amazement, “Dude, compared to you, I’m nothing at all!”

“My God, does that mean you’ve made hundreds of billions in the past few years? With such a speed of making money, you’re almost surpassing the richest man, right?”

Li Lingling, although silent, her eyes also showed she was extremely shocked.

Bai Feng felt the same.

After their initial shock, the three quickly noticed a scene they couldn’t understand.

Lin Mo, upon hearing about the tens of billions in return, had no change of expression whatsoever, as calm as if he were discussing mere tens of dollars.

This inevitably led them to a more daring thought.

Just how rich was Lin Mo now?

Lin Mo himself didn’t know exactly how much money he had, as he had used too many identities, and many accounts simply couldn’t be tallied to give an accurate figure.

As far as Lin Mo could see, just on the Forbes global rich list alone, he had several alter egos listed.

So no matter how much Lin Mo once yearned for money, as of now, he truly didn’t lack money nor held much interest in it.

Let alone tens of billions, even hundreds of billions placed in front of Lin Mo weren’t enough to cause much of an emotional reaction.

Seeing this, Zhang Yihua couldn’t help but sigh, “Old Lin, Old Lin, although I don’t know how much money you’ve made over the years, the fact that you don’t even react to tens of billions makes you the first person I’ve ever seen like this!”

“Ah…”

“I was hoping to show off a bit in front of you, but it seems I can only resign myself to another helpless failure!”
