Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 457: 169, Elder Mr. Chen, don’t worry, we are going to meet soon!_2

Chen Shanhe took the tablet, and his gaze was quickly drawn to several pieces of news that appeared on it.

All six candidates of the Liberal Party, and three declared they were dropping out of the race, also transferring their voter bases to Johnson Foster, who was ranked sixth?

This…

What’s going on?

Chen Shanhe had originally thought that the so-called big event was something like a candidate being assassinated, but he didn’t expect the situation to have blown up to this extent.

At the same time, Qian Sheng also shared all the information he knew without holding anything back.

“Get Chen Ze over here,” Chen Shanhe ordered.

“Yes.”

Qian Sheng ran out, and after about ten or so minutes, he returned with Chen Ze to the drawing room.

From Chen Ze’s expression, it was clear he had a rough idea of what had happened.

Chen Shanhe looked at his most favored younger son and asked, “Tell me, what’s your opinion on this matter?”

Chen Ze’s brows furrowed slightly as he asked in confusion, “Father, which aspect do you wish to inquire about?”

“Whatever comes to your mind is fine, just speak your thoughts,” Chen Shanhe said, like an examiner in charge, assessing his son.

After thinking again, Chen Ze began, “Father, I don’t think this has anything to do with us, whoever becomes the Duke of America won’t affect our good life in Japan.”

“Fool,” Chen Shanhe reprimanded, very dissatisfied with his son’s current complacency, “Don’t you understand such a simple principle as to ‘be prepared for danger in times of safety’?”

“Ichiro Toyota is in our control now, that’s true, but don’t forget he has good relationships with some politicians in America. If these people become the Duke of America, do you think our father and son will have good days ahead?”

This…

Chen Ze started with a shock, and subconsciously said, “His entire family is in our control, and even those around him are all trusted aides we’ve groomed.”

“What can a king who’s been sidelined actually do?”

“Moreover, Ichiro Toyota is very family-oriented; I think he wouldn’t risk his family.”

Listening to Chen Ze’s analysis, Chen Shanhe already understood that his son had been corrupted by the comfortable life they now led, having lost the most basic ability to anticipate.

Chen Shanhe could not really blame his son, as there were far too many great figures who started out businesses with not only sharp minds and keen insight, never slacking off but also planning for the future at all times.

But once they achieved a certain level of success, these great figures would become indolent and foolish, even arrogant.

Such people often met their end due to their own arrogance.

His son was now clearly showing a similar problem and needed a good lesson.

Thinking this, Chen Shanhe’s expression darkened, and he scolded, “Have you forgotten that Lin Mo is still hiding somewhere in this world, ready to eradicate our Chen family at any moment?”

At the mention of Lin Mo, both of their expressions darkened as well.

For anyone in the Chen family, Lin Mo was an unforgettable humiliation.

Even though they now wielded greater power than when they were in Grand Xia Country, neither Chen Ze nor Qian Sheng had ever given up the search for him.

Only by personally killing Lin Mo could they one day return triumphantly to Grand Xia.

Chen Ze, frowning deeply, said hatefully, “Dad, are you suggesting… that Lin Mo is involved in this election in America?”

“The guy does have a lot of areas that we still can’t figure out, but… he couldn’t possibly have the power to meddle in the election for the Duke of the world’s strongest nation in such a short time, could he?”

Chen Shanhe himself also felt that Lin Mo, no matter how formidable, had no reason to be able to interfere in the Duke election of America so quickly.

He had mentioned that name only to remind his son that the Chen family was far from being safe and secure.

However, Chen Shanhe didn’t voice his thoughts, and simply told Chen Ze, “Even if there’s a slight possibility, we can’t give up the pursuit.”

“Don’t you have many connections in America? Have them find out what exactly happened there.”

“Which family is behind this, stirring up so much trouble!”

“If possible, establish rapport with this family in advance; even if we can’t be friends, at least maintain a good relationship.”

“`

“This concerns whether you and I, father and son, can survive in Japan for the long term!”

Chen Shanhe considered every aspect of their affairs, ready to eliminate any danger that might exist, however slight.

This is precisely why, even after encountering such great troubles, he was still able to rise quickly—an important reason for his success.

“Yes, I’ll do it right away!”

Through his guidance, Chen Ze dared not be complacent. He left the living room and quickly entered his own study to begin using his connections in America to try to uncover the entire truth about the Duke’s election process.

….

America, Beverly Manor.

By the time Lin Mo returned home, his family was just enjoying breakfast.

There were unusually many of them today, even Lin Siyu and Zhang Li, who had not been home for a long time, were there.

Although Lin Mo hadn’t slept for the night, his daily exercise routine kept him in great shape, and he didn’t feel too tired.

“Brother, you’re back!” Zhang Li was the first to greet him.

Lin Mo sat at the dining table and, taking the rice porridge handed to him by the servant, smiled and said, “Hmm, you two are rare guests, not busy today?”

Ever since they started the private security company, the two of them had become very busy and seldom had the time to come home for meals.

Zhang Li explained, “Hmm, something happened last night, and some contracts were canceled, so Siyu and I thought we’d better come home early to join everyone for a meal.”

His private security firm was only just getting off the ground, so it was unlikely he’d know so quickly about the events within the Liberal Party.

Three of the six competitors had dropped out overnight, including the three most weighty ones.

The candidate ranking sixth had suddenly become the front-runner.

Such an event was unheard of and unseen in the over 200-year history of America.

Curious, Lin Siyu asked, “Brother, what were you up to last night?”

At this, the others also turned their curious eyes toward him.

Yesterday, Lin Mo said he had business to attend to and didn’t come back all night.

For others, this might not be a big deal, but for Lin Mo, who seldom stayed out overnight, it indicated he must have had some very important matters to attend to.

Since he didn’t speak about it, everyone, no matter how concerned, felt it wasn’t right to pry too much.

After several years of living on the run, they had gradually learned a lesson: knowing some things might not always be favorable!

With Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Xi absent, Lin Mo saw no need to hide anything and broadly explained some of the things he did the night before.

On one hand, it was to prepare his family mentally; on the other hand, it was also to give them a bit of peace of mind.

After speaking, Lin Mo said with a smile, “If everything goes as planned, Johnson Hester should soon become the Duke, and then all we need to do is deal with Chen Shanhe before we can start planning our return to Grand Xia.”

Although he spoke briefly, the information revealed in his few words was enough to shock and astonish his family.

“Bro… that’s incredible!?” Lin Siyu couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of her mouth, muttering, “To influence a superpower’s Duke competition—I thought something like that only happened in American shows!”

“Compared to you, bro, the private security firm I run feels like child’s play…” Zhang Li was just as surprised.

They already ran a sizeable private security firm, but to imagine disrupting the Duke’s election—their firm would collapse immediately if just any member of Parliament wanted it so.

The others also looked surprised, all muttering various things.

Having lived abroad for over two years, they had only returned home for a day or two during the live broadcast before, and most of that time was spent evading capture.

Now that they could finally see the hope of returning home, how could they not be excited?

Lin Mo took a sip of the warm rice porridge and said with a smile, “Let’s not get too happy too soon.”

“The success in the Liberal Party was a stroke of luck. We can only claim the Duke’s throne after defeating Hamilton of the Conservative Party.”

“As you know, beating that woman is going to be very difficult!”
