Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 491: 186, Chen Shanhe has been captured!_2

Chen Shanhe and the others naturally did not have the qualification to ride in the VIP cars; they could only get into the vehicles behind.

After everyone was seated, the motorcade started and headed towards Johnson Tower, dozens of kilometers away.

As soon as Chen Shanhe sat in the car, he took out his cell phone to contact the leader of each group, inquiring about their current situation, as well as the specific circumstances regarding Qian Sheng and Chen Ze.

The responses he received indicated that everything was normal, and there was no need for him to worry.

Although it seemed that there were no incidents for the time being, as Chen Shanhe looked at the swiftly passing streets outside the window, he felt an increasing sense of heaviness in his heart.

It was as if some great danger was lurking in the shadows ahead, waiting to swallow him whole.

“Since we’re here, let’s be at ease!”

“A lucky man has heaven’s signs!”

Chen Shanhe was very clear about one thing: from the moment he landed in America,

no,

from the moment he stepped off the Japanese King’s private plane into America, he was left with no room to maneuver.

If there was danger, he couldn’t escape it.

If he was lucky and there was no danger, then all his worries would have been for naught.

Chen Shanhe stopped thinking about these complicated matters and slowly closed his eyes, calming his spirit.

Although he was on a private jet with spacious cabin space, he had still been bothered by the engine noise all the way, and he hadn’t slept well in the past few days, so he wasn’t feeling very energetic.

Since it was night, there weren’t many cars on the road, and there was traffic police clearing the way all along the route, so it took less than two hours for the motorcade to stop in front of the entrance to Johnson Tower.

Through the car window, one could see many security personnel, along with numerous CIA agents and police officers maintaining order and blocking the roads at the entrance to Johnson Tower.

There were hardly any people around, and it was very quiet.

Once the VIP car had stopped, the already waiting staff hurried over and courteously opened the car doors.

The rest of the vehicles in the convoy received the same treatment.

The procedure was the same as before, at the airport.

The security officers got out first, immediately taking up their predetermined positions, maintaining the highest level of vigilance.

After confirming there was no danger, Ichiro Toyota adjusted his clothing and was the first to step out. Under the dual protection of Japanese and American security, he walked into Johnson Tower.

Johnson Hester had not come to the doorway to greet them. Moreover, as an American Duke, it was not possible for him to lower himself to welcome a King from a small country.

Unless it was a particularly public occasion, or when Dukes from various countries gathered in America, would he dress more formally and greet them at the airport entrance.

This was merely a small, private meeting and not meant to be very grand.

On the contrary, this attitude of superiority brought a little relief to Chen Shanhe, easing his tension somewhat.

The group took the elevator in Johnson Tower, led by a member of the Johnson family, up to the top floor and knocked on the office door.

Thud… Thud thud…

Johnson Hester was sitting behind his desk. Hearing the knocking, he said in a deep voice, “Enter.”

The office door opened.

The reception staff did not enter, but stood at the door making a welcoming gesture.

Ichiro Toyota ran all the way to Johnson Hester and eagerly stretched out his hand, “Mr. Hester, I have long admired you, congratulations on becoming the Duke of America, and I am honored to be summoned by you!”

This could only happen in a private setting. If it were in a public setting and journalists captured this moment, Blue Star would certainly have a new famous painting titled ‘The Running King of Japan.’

Johnson Hester chose not to shake hands with him, his eyes from beginning to end were on Chen Shanhe, who was following behind.

Currently disguised, Chen Shanhe did not appear as he normally did, but Mr. Hester had received information about Chen Shanhe’s current appearance, so he was able to recognize him instantly.

Mr. Hester was curious to know what kind of person could make someone as formidable as Lin Mo feel so wary.

Chen Shanhe also noticed Johnson Hester’s gaze. He did not avoid this brazen look, but calmly met his eyes.

Before, he had been very nervous and worried about encountering various dangers.

But Chen Shanhe had the ability to become especially calm when it reached a life-or-death moment, and nervousness was of no help.

Even when Mount Tai collapses before him, his expression would not change; such is the man we speak of.

For some reason, even though Chen Shanhe looked nothing like Lin Mo, Johnson Hester could still feel from Chen Shanhe the same aura and sense of oppression that he felt from Lin Mo.

Such a person seemed to hold endless trump cards; even with a wide gap in status, he would not show a hint of cowardice before you.

Truthfully,

dealing with such a person is a very pressure-filled affair.

Meanwhile, in the secret room behind the office,

since Chen Shanhe had appeared, Lin Mo’s gaze never left him for even a second.

After fighting for so long and making so many preparations, wasn’t this the moment he’d been waiting for?

Once, Lin Mo led his family around like a dog without a home, encountering countless hardships and dangers.

If not for the support of the Intelligence System, Lin Mo, even with ten thousand lives, wouldn’t have been able to match Chen Shanhe.

At this moment,

seeing Chen Shanhe finally fall into his trap, how could Lin Mo not be thrilled and overjoyed?

Even, if he wished, he could now make Chen Shanhe pay for his past deeds!

“Elder Mr. Chen…. it’s been a long time.”

“The day the Abyss Organization settles the score with you has finally come!”

Through the monitor screen, Lin Mo looked at Chen Shanhe in the outer office with a calm gaze, without any urgency to act right now.

Having endured until the end, Lin Mo wanted to savor the fruits of victory and to see Chen Shanhe’s last performance.

Although the relationship between the two was irreconcilable, it never affected the weight and pressure Chen Shanhe held in Lin Mo’s mind.

In the office,

Johnson Hester walked past Ichiro Toyota, looking at the approaching Chen Shanhe, and asked in a deep voice, “Are you that man from Grand Xia, Chen Shanhe?”

The door of the office had already been closed, leaving only the three of them alone in the spacious room.

There was no need for Chen Shanhe to keep up any pretense. He took two steps forward, standing in front of Ichiro Toyota, first placing the gift he brought on the office desk, then speaking in perfect English, “Duke Hester, hello, I am Chen Shanhe.”

“I’m very sorry for the trouble I have brought you. This is a gift I prepared for you; I hope you like it.”

Johnson Hester didn’t beat around the bush but instead opened the package with interest.

He was a super-rich businessman and also an antique enthusiast with knowledge about various types of antiques from around the world.

When he saw the item Chen Shanhe delivered, he also couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.

What was now laid on his office desk was a national treasure that Japan had plundered from Grand Xia, and he was certain it was authentic.

Such antiques were beyond the measure of money, their value absolutely priceless.

Johnson Hester asked himself that if he were in trouble, he surely wouldn’t be willing to give away such treasures.

That Chen Shanhe could part with them so readily showed that this man was not to be underestimated.

He toyed with the two national relics, carefully examining every detail.

Seeing this scene, Ichiro Toyota and Chen Shanhe exchanged glances, both somewhat relieved, no longer as tense as before.

Especially Ichiro Toyota.

He thought that if the other party could accept the gift so readily, it meant that there was still something to discuss.

If they really wanted to harm them, they had a perfect advantage in time, place, and harmony; there was no reason not to act.

The longer Hester examined the antiques, the safer they were.

Johnson Hester did not disappoint them. After scrutinizing for more than ten minutes, he reluctantly placed the antiques back in place, smiling and said, “Very good, I like your gift very much.”

“However, compared to these two items, what I’m more interested in is the other thing you mentioned before.”

“Mr. Chen, I’m sure you know what I’m referring to, don’t you?”
