Chapter 515 The Yuan and Liu Families Were Informed
Lin Mo was still young and lacked social experience. He always thought that his restaurant was a high-priced restaurant that only made money from rich people, and that he had no background or anything like that.

Little did they know that when Liu Ruyan offered to provide the restaurant, the restaurant was already tied to the Liu family, not to mention that all the customers were introduced by Liu Ruyan.

Secondly, although Yuan Guocheng may seem to have occupied a private room in the restaurant, to outsiders this is a symbol of having a powerful backer, regardless of how he obtained the position. Otherwise, why would Yuan Guocheng have a special spot here while others do not?

Moreover, some of the clients were recommended by Comrade Yuan, which further illustrates the point. In society, this kind of relationship is equivalent to a powerful backer, so it's only natural that Qin Zhenhong would make such a guess.

Since Lin Mo had already hung up the phone, Qin Zhenhong and the others wouldn't go looking for him anymore. Rather than calling again and getting rejected, they might as well contact his backer directly.

That evening, Liu Zhengyuan and Comrade Lao Yuan received a phone call and learned what had happened. Both families were shocked.

Because they themselves knew that they hadn't done anything, especially Liu Zhengyuan, who didn't even know what had happened before. At least Ms. Jiang from the Yuan family knew.

But both Yuan Guocheng and Liu Zhengyuan were shrewd people. Even though they were shocked, they did not show it on the phone. They just gave a vague answer and prepared to find out more about the situation before making any plans.

That evening, at the Yuan family villa, Old Yuan listened to his wife's account and finally learned the whole story. He never expected that his family had played a part in it.

"Yuanyuan said when she came back that day that her son helped her find out in the end. What happened? Did something happen to Xiaolin?" After recounting everything, Ms. Jiang asked curiously.

Hearing this, Yuan Guocheng, who was sitting on the sofa on the first floor, had a cigarette in his mouth and tapped the armrest of the sofa rhythmically with his fingers. After a long while, he frowned and said, "Xiao Lin is fine, but the other side is in trouble. That's why they had someone call me."

But it must be said that Xiaolin is a really deep and unpredictable kid. He usually seems very cheerful, but when he gets provoked, he can be quite ruthless.

Not only is he meticulous, but he also saw through the opponent's weakness at a glance. He was clearly determined to crush the opponent!
But you know what, I didn't expect Kobayashi to have this kind of cunning. You really can't judge a book by its cover!

After listening to the phone call and his wife's explanation of the whole story, even though he didn't know what had happened, Old Yuan felt a little scared.

He was surprised by Lin Mo's temperament, his decisiveness, and his meticulous thinking. Most importantly, he couldn't figure out how Lin Mo managed to make all of the other party's businesses lose power at the same time.

Although he had no evidence, both logically and practically, the preparations Lin Mo had made beforehand all indicated that this matter was related to him.

It was precisely this uncertainty that made even a seasoned businessman like Comrade Yuan feel somewhat afraid.

He asked himself if he could stop it if it happened to him, and the answer was no!

He didn't even know what methods Lin Mo had used, let alone how to prevent it in advance.

It's unbelievable that not only could the electricians not find any cause, but they could even precisely control the area affected by the power outage.

"Huh? What did Xiaolin do?" Ms. Jiang asked curiously.

Comrade Yuan took a deep drag on his cigarette, stubbed it out in the ashtray, and then said, "He somehow managed to cut off the power to all of the other family's important businesses, and it can't be restored. No cause can be found, and the losses are incalculable. The other family can't hold on any longer. They probably think it's related to us because we have a fixed location in the restaurant, and they want to come and try to mediate."

"A power outage? Xiao Lin? How is that possible? How did he do that?" Ms. Jiang was stunned at first, then asked incredulously.

After all, even if the main power switch is damaged, there are ways to fix it. Secondly, if it really was Lin Mo who did it, he would definitely leave evidence. We can just call the police and arrest him now. Why would we need to call their family?
"Heh~ That's what makes Xiao Lin so amazing. We don't know what methods he used, but what's most amazing is that the other party can't do anything about him. That means there's no evidence to prove that this matter is related to Xiao Lin," Yuan Guocheng shook his head and chuckled, but there was still a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Nowadays, apart from Lin Mo, the person directly involved, their family is probably the one that knows the most, since it was their family who helped find out the asset information of the Qin and Huang families.

With Comrade Yuan's intelligence, he only needs to think for a moment to realize that this matter is inextricably linked to Lin Mo.

"Won't something happen to Xiaolin? If the police find evidence, this crime could be quite serious," Ms. Jiang said with some concern.

After all, in today's society, if you try to do something underhanded, it's hard to escape the police investigation. Once they have substantial evidence, Lin Mo's life is probably over.

Upon hearing this, Comrade Yuan shook his head: "Probably not. If the other party had evidence, they wouldn't have called me." His tone even implied a sense of humility.

After all, if you have a valid claim and evidence, go to court; if you have a claim but no evidence, go to the police; if you have neither a claim nor evidence, seek mediation. So the other party's current behavior already speaks volumes.

Having been in the business world for so many years, Old Yuan is more shrewd than a monkey, and he could guess most of this kind of thing at a glance.

"So what's our family's stance on this?" Ms. Jiang asked.

She had wanted to support Lin Mochen before, but in the end, he had caused a huge mess, clearly bankrupting him!

“Our family? We can eat and drink as we please. I’m not familiar with that guy surnamed Qin, otherwise why would he need to ask someone to call me?”

Why get involved? Besides, even in the worst-case scenario, all we did was check the other party's assets; it's not illegal. Furthermore, Xiaolin and Ruyan are dating right now, and Lao Liu hasn't even commented yet, so why are we in such a hurry?

"If you have time, give our daughter a call and ask what's going on. Tell her to let me know as soon as possible if there's any new information, so our family can make preparations," Old Yuan said calmly.

First of all, this wasn't done by his family, and even if evidence is found, it has nothing to do with his family. Secondly, he's not familiar with the person surnamed Qin. Normally, he wouldn't mind doing the other person a favor, but this is Lin Mo, and someone who's dating Liu Ruyan. In this situation, the best thing for him to do is pretend he doesn't know anything.

Meanwhile, the situation at the Liu family villa was somewhat different, mainly because both Liu Zhengyuan and Ms. Cheng were completely bewildered.

Although they had heard what had happened, they still didn't know what method Lin Mo had used.

"Damn it, they dared to touch my future son-in-law, and now they dare to come and ask someone to mediate. What are they trying to prove? Tell them this isn't over."

"My daughter isn't home right now, but I, as her mother, am still here!" Upon hearing her husband's account of what had happened, Ms. Cheng slammed her hand on the table in the living room on the first floor.

They only have one daughter, and all the family property will go to her in the future. Right now, her daughter is dating Lin Mo. Ms. Cheng knows her daughter's personality, and as long as there are no fundamental mistakes, the two of them will definitely get together.

Not to mention, she also heard that her daughter had a video call with Lin Mo's mother last night and they had a very pleasant conversation. In Ms. Cheng's eyes, the two young people were already 80 or 90 percent a couple.

Secondly, her current appearance and her husband's vigorous health were all thanks to Lin Mo, her prospective son-in-law. Now that this has happened, she can still distinguish between close and distant relatives, regardless of anything else.

Most importantly, if this matter is not handled well, her daughter will definitely blame them when she comes back. In order to prevent her husband from being unreasonable, she simply made her stance clear.

"Alright, alright, there's no use talking about this now. Let's call our daughter and ask what's going on!" Liu Zhengyuan felt a headache coming on when he heard this.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng glared at her husband and spat, "What nonsense! When Xiao'e called me at noon today, she didn't seem to know anything. I have a feeling she probably doesn't know about this. Do you not know what kind of temper our daughter has? If she knew about this, she would have already exploded."

Besides, Xiao'e is currently out of town, busy with work. If I make this call, she'll have to come back overnight. I should call Xiaolin first to ask what's going on, so we don't end up doing something wrong with our good intentions!

Liu Zhengyuan nodded upon hearing this, but his head throbbed even more. His wife was absolutely right. His daughter's personality was exactly like her wife's, fiercely protective of her own, especially of her husband.

When the two first got married, he was penniless and had nothing. Sometimes he couldn't even afford to eat, so his wife would go back to her parents' home to move her things.

But his wife had brothers and sisters-in-law, so how could she possibly agree? At that time, the conditions were not good, and naturally some people mocked him as a man, but his wife scolded them back on the spot.

It can be said that Liu Zhengyuan's success today is mainly due to his wife. Without her protection, he wouldn't have become so determined to make something of himself and never let his wife suffer such injustice again.

Now that his daughter has the same personality, he, having enjoyed the benefits, certainly has no right to object.

Moreover, although he had never met that Xiao Lin, his physical transformation was indeed thanks to the other party, and he still owed him that favor.

That evening, Lin Mo spoke on the phone with Ms. Cheng from his bedroom.

"Auntie, it's true, but let's not tell Sister Ruyan yet. I'm afraid she'll worry, so I'm deliberately not telling her so as not to interfere with her work."

She's already exhausted, so don't worry about my little problem. Besides, I can handle it." Lin Mo said in a low voice, so his parents wouldn't hear.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Cheng on the other end of the phone nodded: "I see. Okay, then let's not tell Xiao'e about this for now. Also, you child, why didn't you say anything when something like this happened? Xiao'e isn't here, but there's Auntie here. Do you think we'll be bullied by them?"

"Hey, it's not a big deal. Besides, their losses are much greater than mine. If there's really no other way, I'll definitely talk to you, Auntie," Lin Mo said with a smile.

Ms. Cheng nodded in response: "That's more like it. I like your child. Don't hesitate to ask me for anything. By the way, I also know about this matter. They suffered considerable losses over there. How's the aftermath going on here?"

Clearly, Ms. Cheng was also afraid that Lin Mo might act impulsively and commit another crime, giving others leverage over him. If that happened, she would have to pull some strings.

"Auntie, this matter has nothing to do with me at all. I don't know anything about it. If they have evidence, then produce it. Otherwise, it's slander. You can rest assured!" Lin Mo said with a smile, not taking it seriously at all.

Hearing his confident tone, Ms. Cheng felt much more at ease: "Yes, this has nothing to do with us. Remember, no matter who asks, just stick to this story. I want to see what they can do!"
"Besides, they've already come to ask someone to mediate, so it's obvious there's no other way. So, no matter what happens in the future, if you feel you can't solve it, you can call Auntie," Ms. Cheng said, quite assertively.

Lin Mo could only smile and nod, "I understand, Auntie. If I encounter any difficulties, I will definitely ask you for help!"

"Ah~~ that's right."

The two talked on the phone for a while longer before hanging up, and Lin Mo felt a strange warmth in his heart.
