Chapter 196: 123, teasing Chen Shanhe! Refresh to reveal a bizarre new piece of information!_7

Lin Mo wanted to rush in immediately, but he held back.

He still had common sense,

sealed underground spaces usually had high levels of carbon dioxide, and could also produce very toxic hydrogen sulfide gas.

Rushing in rashly could easily lead to unconsciousness and death.

In Lin Mo’s hometown, it was also common to dig cellars for storing ginger; every couple of years one would hear news of someone dying after going into a cellar.

The countermeasure was simple.

Lin Mo went back to the surface, found the blower he had bought earlier, connected the outlet to a plastic tube, then dropped the tube into the well to start supplying oxygen.

How to determine if there was enough oxygen?

This was even simpler,

Tie a basket to a rope, put a burning candle in the basket, and lower the candle bit by bit.

If the candle didn’t go out, it meant there was enough oxygen below.

All that talk in tomb-robbing novels about people lighting candles, and ghosts blowing them out, was actually about running out of oxygen and needing to retreat quickly.

Now it’s easier,

An Iridium portable oxygen content detector could settle everything.

And because Lin Mo knew he was going into the cellar, he had also prepared two portable oxygen bottles in advance, along with corresponding breathing masks.

Who knew what the situation below was like? What if there was a gas pocket?

You can’t lose your life over treasures.

It was the same saying, be prepared to be without worries.

Even if it’s unlikely to be needed, you still have to prepare everything in advance.

Lin Mo hadn’t always been this kind of person; it was just that he had encountered enough troubles, significant enough to cultivate this habit slowly.

After making all the preparations, Lin Mo was about to go down when the alarm on his phone went off.

Hearing this alarm, Lin Mo knew that a full 48 hours had passed since he last contacted Chen Shanhe. It was time to ask Chen Shanhe about the outcome of the Kundahua Mansion matter and give him another order.

Haha,

Did he really think a refund from Kundahua Mansion would clear Chen Kainan of all his sins?

Was Chen Shanhe’s thinking too simple?

Didn’t he realize how grievous the crimes committed by Chen Kainan were?

Lin Mo rested for a while and didn’t rush into the ancient well.

He went to the room on the left side of the third floor of the rental house before sending Chen Shanhe the video link.

It wasn’t that the basement had a bad signal, but Lin Mo was worried about being overheard during the call or someone suddenly breaking in.

Although this possibility was very, very small, it was not zero.

Better safe than sorry.

Lin Mo couldn’t afford any accidents.

After waiting about 5 minutes, just a few seconds before the link expired, Chen Shanhe entered the software.

From the background, it looked like he was in a room similar to a study.

Lin Mo did not turn on the video on his side and even covered the camera with something. This made him feel safer.

With his voice altered by the software, he greeted, “Elder Mr. Chen, how have you been these past days? Feeling accomplished? Those owners consider you their savior!”

Chen Shanhe didn’t intend to waste words with Lin Mo and got straight to the point, “I have complied with your request and returned all the money, and also paid the corresponding interest at a 4.9% annual rate.”

“Now it’s time for you to keep your promise and release Chen Kainan.”

“I advise you, if you want to be friends with Chen Jianghe, there’s no need to go about it this way; I hope this is the first and last time.”

Oh?

Lin Mo caught on quickly.

Did Chen Shanhe think the Abyss Organization kidnapped Chen Kainan and demanded a refund from Kundahua Mansion as a way to assert dominance before suggesting a partnership for other matters?

Such a thought was quite normal,

after all, the things Lin Mo had done so far couldn’t be understood with normal thinking.

He didn’t seem like a kidnapper after a ransom, nor did he appear to be threatening Chen Shanhe to gain some benefits and advantages.

Instead, it was somewhat like robbing the rich to help the poor, a sort of vigilantism.

If the roles were reversed, Lin Mo felt he would likely speculate in this direction too.

Also, this meant that Lin Mo’s plan to throw Chen Shanhe off the investigation was starting to take effect.

Not bad!

Lin Mo replied indifferently, “Elder Mr. Chen, what are you talking about? I don’t recall ever saying that I would release Chen Kainan just because you refunded the money of the Kundahua Mansion owners, did I?”

“Could it be that you misunderstood something from the beginning?”

Misunderstood?

What does that mean?

Chen Shanhe’s eyebrows knitted together.

You could see he was very unhappy.

Of course, this unhappiness could also be feigned.

After being silent for a whole few tens of seconds, Chen Shanhe took a deep breath before his slightly raspy and oppressive voice sounded again, “What do you mean by this? Are you playing me?”

“I warn you, don’t think you won’t slip up just because you’ve hidden well, no wall in this world is completely impermeable.”

For the past two days, Chen Shanhe learned a lot about Mo Wen. He was planning to have someone go to WW Province and kidnap Mo Wen’s family in the same manner.

Therefore, in his view, he wasn’t entirely without leverage.

He just didn’t realize yet that everything concerning Mo Wen was fabricated online, though verifiable, those people didn’t actually exist.

Even if Chen Shanhe went ahead, he would gain nothing.

And Chen Shanhe’s reaction was entirely within Lin Mo’s expectations.

A significant figure like him probably hadn’t encountered in many years someone who dared to toy with him like this.
