Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 487: 184, Chen Kainan, long time no see. _2

Even if it wasn’t Chen Shanhe who acted personally, his subordinates would take the opportunity to target Bai Feng and his people in order to curry favor.

Having recovered from her initial surprise, Du Nanxue heard that Lin Mo might be in danger and asked with concern, “What can I do to help you?”

Even though they hadn’t been in contact many times over their long acquaintance, due to the special relationship between the two, their affection for each other was still very deep. If there was any possibility, Du Nanxue did not want Lin Mo to come to any harm.

However, she was unaware that Chen Shanhe had become the de facto ruler of Japan and had no idea about the extensive forces Lin Mo had developed behind him.

If she had known everything, she would not have said what she did.

Because the level of conflict was not something she, a former junior police officer, could help with.

“There’s nothing you need to do. In fact, my chances of winning are pretty good. I just wanted to explain things to you in advance, before the final battle,” he said.

After a pause, Lin Mo spoke again, “Open the cage, I want to see Chen Kainan.”

Du Nanxue nodded, walked over to the cage, and reached down to pull up a corner of the black fabric at the bottom. With one strong tug, she ripped it all off.

After more than two years of torture, Chen Kainan was in very poor shape, emaciated from his original weight of 180 pounds to just skin and bones. His ribs, protruding against his taut skin, made a terrifying sight.

He was curled into a ball, his body trembling momentarily from the sudden light, but he did not wake up or show any other reaction.

Lin Mo looked indifferently at Chen Kainan inside the cage, his feelings complicated.

He was the origin of all the problems; had he not attacked Lin Mo’s own family, Lin Mo wouldn’t have been forced to run around like a stray dog and would not have ended up fighting against Chen Shanhe for such a long time.

“Chen Kainan,” Lin Mo called out, but the curled-up form of Chen Kainan still did not react.

Standing beside him, Du Nanxue explained, “Ever since I told him Chen Shanhe escaped from Rakshasa City, he’s gone mad, alternating between lucidity and mania, sometimes even harming himself.”

“Do you need me to wake him up?”

For Chen Kainan, Lin Mo felt not the slightest sympathy. He hadn’t killed him right away only because he wanted to prolong his torment for a couple more years.

Now, of course, there was no pity,

especially since he also wanted to tell Chen Kainan that perhaps after tonight, he could be reunited with his father.

It just might not be the type of reunion he would like.

Lin Mo said calmly, “Wake him up for me.”

Du Nanxue nodded, turned, and walked to a nearby shelf, where she skillfully opened a vial filled with a solution, filled a syringe with the liquid, and then walked over to the cage. Finding the vein on Chen Kainan, she inserted the needle steadily and forcefully.

About ten seconds after the liquid was injected into Chen Kainan’s body, he began to convulse and tremble abruptly.

As his trembling intensified, his pants became increasingly damp, oozing out a mix of yellowish and white matter.

“Huff… Huff… Huff… Huff…”

Chen Kainan’s breathing became more and more labored, resembling a drowning person who, in the moments before death, was suddenly pulled from the turbulent water.

Neither Lin Mo nor Du Nanxue felt the slightest pity at this sight; on the contrary, they thought such torment was not enough.

Having been confined for a long time herself, Du Nanxue understood all too well the torment of being caged and had come to hate Chen Kainan deeply.

Lin Mo’s entire family had nearly died at Chen Kainan’s hands, so sympathy was out of the question.

When Chen Kainan’s convulsions subsided somewhat, Lin Mo’s voice, as cold as ever, once again rose in the underground basement.

“Chen Kainan, it’s been a long time since we last met.”

At the sound of Lin Mo’s voice, Chen Kainan froze as if struck by lightning, becoming completely motionless.

Even though it had been a long time since he had heard that voice, Chen Shanhe had etched it deep into his soul; it was impossible to forget.

Chen Kainan abruptly lifted his head, his eyes panicked as he searched for the source of the voice.

He first saw Du Nanxue but naturally passed over her, continuing to search frantically for that voice from the depths of his soul.

Seeing Chen Kainan’s reaction, Lin Mo’s lips slightly curved upwards as he said calmly, “Mr. Chen, stop looking, I’m not in the room.”

A person who is imprisoned for a long time will gradually become dull, unable to respond to many things for a long while.

After Lin Mo’s reminder, Chen Kainan finally noticed the surveillance camera positioned above his head.

Chen Kainan slumped on the ground, his eyes dead set on the camera, squeaking for quite some time without being able to utter a complete sentence.

He hadn’t had a conversation with anyone for a long time, and being trapped in a cage every day, his language skills had severely deteriorated. Drooling, he struggled and finally managed to mumble an unclear phrase.

“Kill…ssss…me… kill me….”

His eyes were bloodshot, his hands tightly clutching the bars of the cage, the veins on his wrists and arms bulging, looking ferocious and terrifying, like a dying beast struggling for life.

“Mr. Chen, always wanting to die, aren’t you tired?” Watching Chen Kainan’s state, Lin Mo’s originally tense mood relaxed considerably, and with a tone laced with surprise he said, “How about this, I have some good news for you.”

“Your father, Chen Shanhe, might be seeing you very soon. Look forward to it. I’m already imagining the filial scene between father and son.”

“Oh right, there’s also some bad news to tell you.”

“Your father has had two more sons, the inheritance that was supposed to be yours will be significantly reduced.”

“But don’t worry, I’ll take care of them for you!”

Lin Mo’s tone now almost identically mirrored that of Chen Kainan when he would speak to other slaves in the basement.

Hearing Lin Mo’s voice, Chen Kainan’s emotions became increasingly frantic, his head banging against the steel bars of the cage, his whole body violently struggling.

Before long, he was covered in blood, looking ferocious and terrifying.

“Kill me….. kill me…”

“Bastard…. kill me…. please, kill me….”

“Ah————————”

“Scumbag…. if you’ve got the guts, just kill me…. please stop torturing me….”

Chen Kainan’s pronunciation became clearer and clearer, alternately pleading for help and begging for mercy, then cursively furiously ranting.

“Du Nanxue, remember what I said, go ahead with your work, goodbye.”

Lin Mo initially wanted to brief Du Nanxue on the next priorities; looking in on Chen Kainan was just incidental and a brief glance was enough—there was no need for extended chit-chat.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo once again entered the deep web and saw that Dark had responded to his message, indicating he could be contacted at any time.

Lin Mo located the voice call function and dialed through.

Beep… beep beep….

Following a brief ring, Dark’s voice came through.

[Long time no see, Abyss.]

Lin Mo didn’t rush into business matters but instead said with a smile, [It has been a while, Dark, how’s your health now?]

He indeed hadn’t contacted Dark for a long time, but this didn’t affect their relationship.

If asked to name three of his best friends, Dark would undoubtedly be among them.

The other had provided him with too much support; without Dark, he wouldn’t have been able to expose Chen Shanhe’s crimes through live streaming.

Dark’s voice then followed: [Thanks to you, I’ve recovered a lot, and the doctors say I can live a bit longer.]

[Tell me, what’s the reason for contacting me this time.]

Lin Mo glanced out the car window and could already see the glowing sign of Johnson Tower.

He was nearly at his destination.

He cut to the chase, “Dark, I have some good news for you, Chen Shanhe has already boarded his private jet to America.”

“If nothing goes wrong, I’ll be able to see him in a few hours!”
