Chapter 385: 385

In the room upstairs, Li Mo was curled up reading various books, and a pile was already stacked on the table beside him.

"What high intelligence crimes, it’s nothing special. If it were me, I could do better than them," Li Mo complained, tossing a book about high intelligence crimes aside.

"How long have I been here?" Li Mo asked the woman beside him.

The woman checked the time, "You’ve been here for four days and twelve hours."

When the woman spoke, she felt a bit exasperated. Zhao Qiqiang had instructed her to accompany this man.

She considered herself top-notch in both figure and looks; walking down the street, she could easily attract countless men’s attention.

But the man in front of her hadn’t touched her for three or four days, and he seldom even looked at her!

This made her very displeased; when had she ever received such treatment?

Here, he only sent her out to buy books or meals and water, clearly treating her as a servant. This, of course, made her quite unhappy.

"I’ve stayed here long enough. It’s time to get out and stretch a bit!" Li Mo stretched, yawned, and said, looking very tired.

The woman nodded, "Where would you like to go, sir? Shall I accompany you?"

Li Mo suddenly smiled at the woman, a very creepy smile, "What do you think would happen if I were to kill you? How long do you think it would take for someone to discover your body?"

Hearing this, the woman froze instantly, involuntarily stepping back, "Sir, are you joking? I’ve stayed here with you for four days, and I haven’t done anything to offend you. Why would you want to kill me?"

The woman was truly scared now. Li Mo’s expression was eerie and sinister, terrifying.

"Hahaha!" Li Mo burst out laughing suddenly, "Don’t be afraid, I’m just teasing you. If no one had been killing here before, I might have wanted to try it out. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. You can leave now, I don’t need you for what’s next!"

Feeling relieved, the woman hurriedly got up and left.

Watching the woman leave, Li Mo suddenly smiled, "Ah, time to get to work. If I don’t work soon, Master will say something again. Chen Dashan, let me entertain you next."

After reading a piece of news on his phone, Li Mo packed his things.

He put on a baseball cap, a mask, and sunglasses and walked out of the room.

As soon as he reached the lobby downstairs, a black man approached and followed him until he got into a car. Then the black man spoke in broken Chinese, "Li Mo?"

Li Mo turned sharply, looking at the black man with a wary eye, filled with a trace of disgust, "Who are you?"

As he spoke, Li Mo’s right hand reached behind him, ready to draw something out.

"Don’t be nervous, don’t worry. My name is Kui Sandi. Your master sent me to cooperate with you. Recently, Hengshui City is investing externally, and my foreign status can help you work better," the black man laughed.

Li Mo lowered his guard slightly, "My master? Then let me ask you, what’s my master’s name?"

"How dare I call the master’s name directly? Your senior brother Wang Yitian sent us here to deal with Chen Dashan, isn’t that right?" Kui Sandi laughed.

Li Mo completely relaxed. This kind of information was known only to their fellow disciples, no one else could possibly know.

"I didn’t expect Master to send a foreigner here. You can follow me, but you must follow my instructions throughout. Understand?" Li Mo said, still holding his superior position.

Kui Sandi nodded repeatedly, "I understand. Strictly speaking, I count as your outer disciple senior. Master has had us working in different industries overseas for years. I should listen to you!"

Li Mo nodded in satisfaction, "Good, you have some insight. Get in the car. I have something to take care of."

Kui Sandi quickly got into the car.

After the two left, Chen Dashan walked out of the hotel, watching their departing figures with a smile.

"Dashan, Dashan!" Zhou Hui rushed in anxiously from outside.

"What’s wrong?"

"The land in our hometown is about to be auctioned. Haven’t you always wanted to get it? Now is the chance!" Zhou Hui said.

Chen Dashan nodded, "Is the county auctioning it?"

"If the county were auctioning it, I wouldn’t come to you. I would go directly to County Magistrate Zhu. But this land is being auctioned by the city. We don’t have connections in the city, so..." Zhou Hui was a bit dejected.

Chen Dashan responded with an "Mm," "Yes, the county can’t make the decision. But no matter what, we must get that land. I’ll go talk to Zhu Xian Town first and see if there’s any way to manipulate things!"

County Committee Office.

County Magistrate Zhu was smoking, "Brother Dashan, I’m afraid I can’t help you with this. It’s handled directly by the city, my authority isn’t enough. Even though I’m the county magistrate, all the procedures go through me, it’s just a process. The decision-making power isn’t in my hands. What I can do is gather some information for you."

Chen Dashan responded with an "Mm," he understood.

This matter wasn’t up to County Magistrate Zhu.

"Can you introduce anyone higher up?"

County Magistrate Zhu shook his head, "Brother Dashan, do you remember the person who came last time?"

"Which one?"

"The one in the white shirt," County Magistrate Zhu said solemnly.

Chen Dashan frowned, "You mean the person in charge is him?"

"He is responsible for part of it. But all the people in charge of this project are from their circle. Coincidentally, Zhao Ding is also one of them. Do you think they will help you?"

Chen Dashan smiled wryly, knowing they wouldn’t help. Not only wouldn’t they help, but they would also create obstacles!

"Qin Lan will definitely intervene. She knows how important this land is to you. Even if it’s useless to her, she will do anything to make you uncomfortable!" County Magistrate Zhu said, smoking.

"I understand. But there’s no one higher up?" Chen Dashan asked.

"There is, but we can’t reach them. And for something like this, they wouldn’t bother unless you can get in touch with them. But at their level, nothing would attract them anymore," County Magistrate Zhu analyzed.

Indeed, such people control the whole city. What could possibly move them?

Money? Houses? None of it matters; they lack nothing.

County Magistrate Zhu sighed, "Brother Dashan, I can only do this much. But rest assured, I will keep an eye on the news. If anything useful comes up, I’ll let you know immediately so that we can at least prepare."
