Chapter 465: 173, turning the whole world upside down!_2
The police chief did not comply with Elg’s request to detain Johnson Hester. Instead, he escorted him to the door and said with a smile, “Mr. Future Duke, I wish you a pleasant life. I’m Chief Wiesel, and I hope to serve you in the future…”
Chief Wiesel was no fool and had already reviewed all the news and reports on the internet in advance.
With his many years of governance experience, it wasn’t hard for him to deduce that the fate of Elg and his wife wouldn’t be too good this time.
Even if they wouldn’t be thrown into prison, competing for the Duke’s position was absolutely impossible.
Not just them, but many people from factions closely associated with the Elg couple would suffer. The Clinton family would be completely bowing out of politics thereafter.
Wiesel needed to start looking for a new patron in advance.
Though Johnson Hester didn’t seem very reliable, he was now the man closest to the Duke’s position in all of America.
Building a good relationship with him early on was without drawbacks.
Having survived a crisis, Johnson Hester was eager to know what had happened outside that made everyone act as if they were facing a great enemy.
Asking the chief directly was not realistic. It was better to investigate after returning on his own.
Moreover, his instincts told him that all this was most likely related to Mr. Lin Chen, who really had the ability to help him eliminate the obstacle of the Elg couple on his path to becoming the Duke.
“Alright, Chief Wiesel, I will remember you,”
Johnson Hester nodded slightly, not saying much else, before he staggered out of the palace gates and got into the business car waiting beside the door.
Once the door was closed, he let out a heavy sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat off his face, and finally had time to take out his phone and look up the causes and consequences of the events online.
When Johnson Hester saw the news on the internet, even he, who was deeply knowledgeable about the darkness in America, couldn’t help but be astonished and shocked.
It was too damn outrageous,
He had actually been on that ship himself and even knew that the owner was a senior congressman from the Liberal Party, who had also tried to compete for the position of the Duke of America.
The purpose of acquiring that ship was to win over friends, so they could form alliances while enjoying themselves and help each other out in the future.
No one doesn’t need friends,
Especially for those like them, American vested interest beneficiaries. Without sufficient friend resources, they could very well become the next politicians and businessmen to be ousted.
But Johnson Hester had only spent one night on that ship and had no idea that things on the ship were so out of control.
Everything was fair game!
Disgusting,
They were more perverted than perverts.
The driver’s voice woke Hester from the news he was immersed in on the internet.
“Boss, where are we going now?”
After some thought, Hester asked, “Is Mr. Lin still at Johnson Tower?”
The driver shook his head, “No, he has already left, and as he was leaving, he entrusted me with a message for you: he suggests that you find a place to hide for the next three days and it’s best not to show your face.”
“Many people might come looking for you during these days!”
“He also told you that as long as you can endure the coming days, the future will be smooth sailing,”
Johnson Hester of course understood this point.
The news exposed by Lin Chen would undoubtedly cause an earthquake in America.
The people outside didn’t know who Lin Chen was, but Johnson Hester was the one who benefited the most from this incident.
There would certainly be those who thought that he was the one who had exposed the news.
Those people are most likely contemplating how to leave America as quickly as possible; once they leave this time, it’s possible that they may never return for the rest of their lives.
Living comfortably and then suddenly facing such a huge change, they must be filled with hatred in their hearts.
And this hatred, gathered from quite a few influential people, could very well turn against him as their outlet.
Hester was wealthy, indeed, but money couldn’t buy a second life.
The most pressing matter was to hide first, wait for the dust to settle from the Duke election, and once he truly had the identity of a Duke, it wouldn’t be too late to reappear.
Thinking this, Hester looked at the driver and secretary and said, “Back to Johnson Tower, the more dangerous a place, the safer it is.”
“Tell everyone in the family to drop all business immediately and find a safe place to hide!”
“Just survive these few days, and the Johnson family will welcome a rebirth!”
…..
The situation escalated, with more and more scandals being exposed.
These news stories were like bombs, continuously refreshing the perceptions and boundaries of every American.
More and more people chose to take to the streets, and on almost any busy street in all 51 states, one could see angry crowds and various banners.
Many high-ranking figures had mysteriously disappeared, and some rich businessmen had taken the chaos as an opportunity to flee America.
Even many families who had always hidden behind the scenes and never appeared were panicking.
If this continued, it wouldn’t just be a problem with the Duke election, but America might lose the trust of its citizens, and no one could guarantee what chaos might arise.
This was the power of the Intelligence System!
When used on certain pivotal points of events, it became a butterfly flapping its wings!
The whole world could be turned upside down!
And Lin Mo, the instigator of all these events, was lying comfortably on his home balcony, basking in the sun.
Lin Xiaoxiao was swimming in the pool at home, while Lin Xi was sitting in the adjacent baby carriage, playing with a beautifully crafted toy.
Li Jinwen said with a smile, “Husband, I admire you so much. Can you tell me how you knew the secrets on that ship?”
She had seen the news on the internet, of course, and she knew it was all exposed by her husband.
She had never imagined America to be so dark.
Those seemingly honorable celebrities had done so many disgusting things behind the scenes.
“Actually, I didn’t do much, I just happened to come across two victims,” Lin Mo said as he turned over to let his back also soak up the sun, chuckling, “They brought destruction upon themselves through their countless misdeeds and have been too reckless over the years, making it easy for someone to get a hold of them.”
“All I did was summarize all the intelligence and send it out at once.”
Li Jinwen nodded in agreement and then inquired, “So husband, now that it’s almost certain the Johnson family will become the next Duke, but what should we do about Chen Shanhe who is far away in Japan?”
“Didn’t you say that Chen Shanhe has almost become the de facto controller of Japan on the surface?”
Lin Mo had, of course, thought about this and already had a good plan.
He said with a smile, “Wife, don’t worry. Once the news in America settles down in a couple of days, I will make Chen Shanhe obediently come to Japan.”
“He probably couldn’t even dream that Lin Mo would become the man behind the new Duke of America.”
“We’ve been at this for so many years; it’s time for a result!”
Li Jinwen took a deep breath, smiled, and nodded, then kissed Lin Mo on the cheek and said triumphantly, “I knew my husband was the best.”
“Once we deal with Chen Shanhe, can we return to our country to live a peaceful life?”
“My parents will be thrilled to hear this news, they’ve been eager to go back home.”
Go back home?
Lin Mo nodded, his emotions complex, but he said nothing more.
From the current outlook, dealing with Chen Shanhe was definitely not a big problem, but it seemed that returning home still had a long way to go.
Most of what he had previously done in his home country was illegal, and if it were pursued, he could be charged with serious violations. Thus, how to make Grand Xia accept him again required long-term planning.
After all, Lin Mo’s goal was to return home openly, not forever live a constrained life, disguised and relying on fake looks and identity!
He needed to find a way to get a Death Exemption Token for each family member before they could return home with peace of mind!
