Chapter 471: I am Lin Mo from the Grand Xia Country, 176!_2
“`
“They almost all believe that Johnson Hester becoming the Duke of America was entirely a product of misunderstandings and coincidences,”
Chen Shanhe put down his tablet and looked at him, asking, “Explain in detail.”
Chen Shanhe’s habitual approach was to seriously consider opinions from all sides before making decisions based on the information gathered.
“At the beginning of Hester’s competition for Duke, his opponents were not very strong, and considering his own level of recognition, it was not surprising that he could become a legislator for the Liberal Party.”
Chen Ze voiced his first thought.
Chen Shanhe refrained from commenting and said, “Continue.”
Chen Ze nodded and went on, “Later, although his opponents experienced various accidents, essentially it could be chalked up to their bad luck—either scandals about bribery were exposed, or they gave up the competition for Duke, or they were unable to continue running for some other reason.”
“Take today as an example: who could have guessed that at the final stage of the election, the Clinton couple would be caught up in such a scandal?”
“I think that behind him, it might not be as the outside world says, that he has some super-powerful familial backing. It could simply be that he got lucky to have reached this point.”
“Rather, the more we believe he has a backing, the more the events that occur will confuse us. In short, we’re scaring ourselves.”
Listening to Chen Ze’s analysis, everyone in the room fell into contemplation.
His theory seemed unreliable, but if one truly followed this train of thought, many things could indeed be explained.
Chen Shanhe pondered and said, “Regardless of whether it’s luck or not, America is our support. Now that there’s a new Duke elected over there, we should also try to make contact; it would be beneficial and harmless to us.”
“Qian Sheng, Chen Ze, you two send congratulations on behalf of Japan first, then bring up some ideas for cooperation, like giving up Japan’s profits in order to give some benefits to America.”
“By the way, they have nowhere to dispose of their wastewater, right?”
“You can tell Hester that we can help them handle their wastewater and they won’t have to pay anything!”
Help America deal with its wastewater?
Chen Ze frowned and said, “Dad, there’s a lot of protest against wastewater discharge in our country—should we really help America with this now?”
“Where would we dispose it?”
“If we handle it improperly, I’m afraid the domestic fishing fleets will start making trouble!”
“That’s easy,” Chen Shanhe, putting down the tablet and smiling very relaxedly, said, “just discharge it into the ocean. Despite their fierce protests, once we actually do it, they’ll just voice the protest—they won’t really do anything.”
“And big news like that only stays hot for a few days; after some time, naturally no one will talk about it anymore!”
“Alright, let’s not discuss this further, let’s continue discussing how to connect with the Johnson family!”
…..
America, Huafu State.
Johnson Tower.
Johnson Hester had declined all speeches and celebrations. Right after completing his inaugural speech, he rushed back to his office.
At that moment, Lin Mo was sitting behind his desk, smiling at him as he arrived, “Mr. Hester, congratulations on achieving your goal of becoming the Duke of America!”
In the presence of others, Johnson Hester would surely have been full of himself, even utterly complacent.
But he didn’t dare to act that way in front of this man because he was well aware that without Lin Mo’s involvement, he could never have become the so-called Duke.
The Johnson family wouldn’t have made it this far either.
Hester had a flattering smile on his face and humbly said, “Mr. Lin, everything is thanks to your blessing; I didn’t expect that I could actually reach this position one day.”
“I won’t forget what I’ve said before, Mr. Lin, you may now make your requests, whatever it is, the Johnson family is very pleased to serve you.”
Johnson Hester’s words came from the heart, and he was prepared to accept whatever was to come.
Although it was his first time becoming Duke, he was not entirely ignorant about the fates of other Dukes.
The Duke was essentially a plaything for the tycoons and various families to showcase; most resources and profits didn’t belong to the Duke, which was practically an open rule in America.
“`
Usually, if a Duke could obtain even one percent of the profit, it would already be considered generous by a financial consortium or power faction.
Even if they didn’t give a penny, those Dukes wouldn’t dare to open their mouths to ask, otherwise they wouldn’t know when they’d wake up to experience a feeling of having a ‘mind-blowingly open’ brain.
So, Johnson Hester had already resigned himself to the idea that all the profits and projects that the Duke could obtain would be taken away by Lin Chen.
As long as he could acquire this honorary title, he could bring great benefits to his family and dared not covet much.
“Mr. Hester, as I’ve told you before, what I want isn’t these,”
Lin Mo still shook his head firmly, not playing coy, and said bluntly, “Have you heard of the Abyss Organization?”
The Abyss Organization…?
Johnson Hester pondered for a moment before shaking his head and honestly replying, “I don’t know, what does this family do?”
Although the Abyss family was well-known, the Johnson family was engaged in real estate business in America itself and not in arms smuggling, having almost no big connections with the black market, so it was normal not to know about the intelligence organization.
Lin Mo wasn’t surprised and asked, “Then do you know about Lin Mo from Grand Xia Country?”
Grand Xia Country?
Lin Mo?
This time Johnson Hester responded much quicker, nodding and saying, “Of course I’ve heard of him, isn’t he the man who started a live stream in Grand Xia and exposed an official named Chen Shanhe?”
“It seems like it’s already been two or three years since that happened, but I have a very deep impression of that Lin Mo, his story was very touching.”
“Mr. Lin, does this matter have something to do with what you want me to do?”
Clearly,
he had yet to guess that Lin Chen was Lin Mo, and Lin Mo was Lin Chen.
It wasn’t his fault, after all, no one would be able to associate these two individuals together.
Lin Mo was indeed formidable, having managed to elude the pursuit and investigation of a super-rich businessman with his entire family, which in itself was an extremely exaggerated feat.
To be able to start a live stream that evaded the surveillance of Grand Xia’s internet was tantamount to having an astonishing skill.
However, Lin Chen was even more exaggerated, not only was his style of action more mysterious, but most importantly, he held countless secrets about the American political arena in his hands.
Each of these classified pieces of information could be exchanged for a family to take action and help him deal with Chen Shanhe.
In Johnson Hester’s view, if Lin Chen was Lin Mo, then dealing with Chen Shanhe would be an easy task.
The gap in strength between the two sides was too great.
Hearing that Hester was aware of his own reputation, Lin Mo didn’t hide the truth and said frankly, “Foster, to be honest with you, I am that Lin Mo from Grand Xia.”
“The thing I want you to do is very simple, no matter what method you come up with, you must bring a man named Shigeharu Takeuchi from Japan back to America; he’s my enemy, and I have reasons I must kill him!”
Hmm?
Is it that simple?
Just finding a person is enough?
Tentatively, he said, “Mr. Lin, is Shigeharu Takeuchi the same person who used to fight against you fiercely and is still looking for you everywhere, that Chen Shanhe?”
Johnson Hester was very smart, almost immediately guessing the crux of the matter.
Lin Mo didn’t hide anything and answered directly, “Exactly, so I think you should be able to understand just how much I want to take down Chen Shanhe and then live my own quiet life,”
“If you can help me get Chen Shanhe to come to America, then I would be happy to continue helping you in the American political arena.”
“Don’t just think about being a single Duke, I can make the Johnson family surpass the Clinton family and become the family with the most Dukes.”
“As for other profits, you can take them all, I don’t want a dime; I just want Chen Shanhe to die by my hands!”
