Chapter 514 The Imaginary Backer

Miss Yuan was furious. She had praised Lin Mo so much, yet this kid still dared to dodge her questions.

When you asked me for help back then, I didn't hesitate at all. Now you won't even let me know a little bit of information. That's incredibly audacious.

No matter how much Miss Yuan pressed him, Lin Mo remained tight-lipped and refused to admit that he knew about the power outage.

In the end, Miss Yuan had no choice but to go back and call her brother Yuan Hua to ask Wang Mingjie what had happened.

Moreover, judging from the other party's situation, they shouldn't be an unknown person, and it would be easy to investigate them, so she didn't give up.

However, because of this, Miss Yuan decided to stay one more night and go back to Jiangning to see what was going on tomorrow.

Lin Mo did not object to this. The harvest season had arrived, and of course he wanted to go back and finish the show, and also go and watch the excitement.

So, after returning to the city, Lin Mo got out of the car at his own apartment complex and told the three of them to find a hotel to stay in for the night.

After all, he's leaving tomorrow, so he needs to spend more time at home with his parents.

Meanwhile, in a teahouse in Jiangning City, the Qin and Huang families, father and son, looked at each other in silence, neither of them speaking, creating a very quiet atmosphere.

After a long while, Huang Dayong suddenly stood up, slapped his son Huang Hao across the face, and said angrily, "Can't you give me a break? Do I need your money?"

Using this method to deal with people—didn't you check their background beforehand? You've messed with the wrong person; look at the damage you've caused your family!

As he spoke, Huang Dayong slapped his son across the face again and again, making Huang Hao tremble with fear.

On the contrary, Qin Zhenhong, who should have been the most anxious, seemed calmer. He did not scold his son in front of outsiders, nor did he take any action, because he knew that the most important thing at this moment was to resolve the issue, not to do these meaningless things.

Before making the call, both he and Huang Dayong listened to their son recount the entire incident.

If we eliminate all the impossibilities, then the remaining option, no matter how incredible, will be the correct answer.

Although he has offended many people over the years, he also knows that those people do not have the power to make his important businesses shut down at the same time.

Those who truly have the ability to bring him down don't need such trouble. Sometimes, a single phone call or a policy change is enough to cause him serious problems, and they do it much more gracefully, leaving no room for criticism.
Therefore, Lin Mo, who had a conflict with his son in the past two days, becomes the only suspect.

Although I don't know what methods the other party used or whether they have any amazing background, the tone of the other party on the phone just now, as well as the fact that they specifically called to remind his son to pay attention to the time and the Huang family's affairs, all indicate that this was the other party's doing.

"Alright, Lao Huang, talking about the child won't help now. Let's think about how to solve this!" With that, Qin Zhenhong deleted the phone recording.

Upon hearing this, Huang Dayong put down his hand and turned around to ask, "Brother Qin, what do you think we should do about this?"

“That kid is very cautious and speaks very carefully, but judging from his tone, he’s probably involved in this whole thing.” Qin Zhenhong said, then looked at the two children and said, “Didn’t you say there were three people that day? Who is the other one? Call them and find out what their family is like.”

“Dad, the other one is Wang Mingjie, but I haven’t seen him since we had dinner last time. I just sent him a message to ask if anything happened to his family business, but he didn’t reply,” Qin Tian said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenhong narrowed his eyes, then picked up the phone and called an acquaintance of his. After a brief inquiry, he confirmed that there were no problems with Wang Mingjie's family business.

"Their family is fine. So, it seems that the Wang family boy knows something, which is why he's been avoiding you these past few days," Qin Zhenhong said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Huang Hao was the first to explode: "What? Wang Daye dared to frame me, but he's trying to clear his name!"

The words had barely left his mouth when a slap landed on his face. Huang Dayong roared, "Shut the hell up! It's all because of you!" Huang Hao was once again too scared to speak. Normally, his family didn't really care about him and even spoiled him, but now that his father was truly angry, he didn't dare to do anything out of line.

Then Huang Dayong looked at Qin Zhenhong and said, "Brother Qin, are you saying that we can ask the Wang family first?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. If what my son said is true, then Wang Mingjie must have received some information and hurriedly withdrew. However," Qin Zhenhong said calmly.

"But what?" Huang Dayong asked.

Qin Zhenhong sighed helplessly and said, "Right now, we need to figure out what kind of background that kid has and what methods he used."

Now, neither of them would believe that Lin Mo was an ordinary person. Ordinary people wouldn't even know how much property their family owned, let alone be able to do something like this.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the tea room's private room, and a middle-aged man walked in; he was Qin Zhenhong's driver.

"Mr. Qin, this was delivered by Secretary Wang. She asked me to bring it to you," the driver said.

Qin Zhenhong hummed in agreement, then took the documents from the man's hand and told the driver to leave.

The document clearly contained Lin Mo's personal information. They weren't like their own son, a half-baked individual; they had more connections to draw upon, and naturally, the information they obtained was more comprehensive.

The initial basic information was almost identical to what his son had found out, including details of his heroic act. However, the later information made Qin Zhenhong somewhat uneasy.

The last page of the document lists Lin Mo's connections, including his two teachers, Professor Mu and Professor Li.

It even clearly states that Lin Mo is currently studying at the medical university with Professor Li.

But these were just average; what really troubled him was the owner of the [Wednesday] Hotel.

Although Lin Mo is the official owner, as evidenced by the business license, the land actually belongs to Liu Zhengyuan, a well-known wealthy businessman in Jiangning City.

He also discovered that Yuan Guocheng, a well-known tycoon in Jiangning, had a private room at the [Wednesday] Hotel, which clearly indicated a close relationship between them.

He could still feel somewhat confident about Liu Zhengyuan's family, but Yuan Guocheng's family did make him uneasy.

"Take a look for yourself!" Qin Zhenhong handed the last page of the document to his son and pointed out the location.

Qin Tian took it and his expression turned very ugly.

"Dad, here..."

“It’s related to both Liu Zhengyuan’s family and Yuan Guocheng’s family. Neither of these families is easy to deal with. Even your father wouldn’t dare to offend them easily. You two are quite something,” Qin Zhenhong said, looking at his son with a hint of disappointment.

Before offending someone, you dare to take action without even checking their background. Aren't you just asking to get yourself into trouble?

Huang Dayong also looked at it and said, "Could this kid be either of their illegitimate children?"

"Regardless of whose it is, whether it is or not, it must be related to these two companies," Qin Zhenhong said.

Lin Mo never expected that the two shareholders of his restaurant would become his backers.
