Awakening the Daily Intelligence System - Chapter 299
Chapter 299: 135, head to America! Make money and fire the first shot in the counterattack against Chen Shanhe!_8
Li Jinshan thought for a moment and asked, “Son, if we don’t go, will it cause you any trouble? Or do you still have to be distracted to take care of us or something?”
“And how long will it probably take?”
Lin Mo knew that his parents were definitely overthinking it and that this was also a way they showed their concern.
He shook his head and explained, “Dad, this trip is purely to see the world, so I’m not sure how long it will take. If you want to go, then go; if you don’t, staying in Northern Sea City is fine too. It’s up to you.”
“Go if you want, no pressure if you don’t.”
Oh…
So that was it.
Hearing Lin Mo’s explanation, the family felt much more at ease.
Xu Qin was the first to say, “Then let’s not go, okay? That spares you the trouble of having to look after us. Plus, traveling is quite expensive, and we’re fine just staying here.”
“Yeah, son, you guys go ahead. We won’t bother. As for going abroad, I’m not interested at all, and I can’t understand foreign languages,” Lin Changshui also expressed his thoughts.
Lin Mo looked at his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Li Jinshan and Zhao Huixian also shook their heads, indicating they did not wish to venture to a foreign land.
Xu Qin then asked, “When are you guys planning to leave?”
Lin Mo answered, “No rush. It will take some time to prepare. Once we get our passports, we can go. The sooner we leave, the sooner we’ll be back.”
Li Jinwen followed up, “Right, Mom, could you help me with my speaking these next few days? I’ve forgotten so many words, it’s been too long since I used them.”
Zhao Huixian nodded, “No problem, that’s easy.”
“Mumu, are you excited to go to America with mom and dad?”
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, “Yeah, happy! Mom, Dad, where is America?”
Lin Mo smiled and said, “Under your feet, we have to travel halfway around the world to get there. Didn’t you want to fly on a plane? This time, you’ll definitely enjoy it.”
Hearing they would fly, Lin Xiaoxiao became even happier and excitedly said, “Dad, you have to book a window seat so I can see the scenery.”
“Mhmm, don’t worry. Not only will there be a window, but I’ll make sure you can lie down and enjoy the view,” Lin Mo reassured with a smile, knowing first-class cabins usually have windows and some offer exceptional service.
As for the specifics, he wasn’t sure; after all, his knowledge came from scrolling through the lavish lifestyles of the wealthy on TikTok, which he’d never experienced himself.
After talking with the elders for a while, Lin Mo and Li Jinwen came out of the kitchen.
Zhang Li and Lin Siyu were sitting on the couch with some distance between them, neither speaking.
One had just been rejected after confessing, and the other wasn’t ready to consider a relationship due to family issues, making their interaction a bit awkward.
There was no helping it; these things take time.
Anyway, judging from Lin Mo’s years of watching TV dramas, these two would, without a doubt, end up together eventually.
Lin Mo approached Lin Siyu and Zhang Li and said, “Our parents are not going. So it’s just the five of us going.”
“The passports will take a while to process, and during this time, no one should be idle. Try to learn some basic foreign languages and familiarize yourselves with the customs and culture of America.”
“Little sister, you’ve traveled more places, so I’ll leave booking hotels and drafting the travel plans to you.”
“Make sure not to think about saving money. Go for whatever is comfortable. It’s a rare opportunity to go abroad, so enjoy yourselves. I’ll give you the money later.”
Lin Siyu nodded in agreement, “Yeah, no problem, leave it to me.”
Lin Mo then addressed Zhang Li, “Xing Jiang, I’ll get you an international driving permit. You’ll handle the driving.”
Zhang Li nodded as well, “Don’t worry, bro. Driving is my forte. It won’t be a problem.”
After delegating tasks to everyone, Lin Mo returned to his bedroom, starting to purchase various required documents on the deep web, and he specifically inquired whether their disguises could pass the security checks at international airports.
The deep web confirmed that their disguises wouldn’t get through international airport security, but assured Lin Mo that there was nothing to worry about. They instructed him to send his flight information and to follow their designated checkpoint for the security screening.
They would arrange everything.
Furthermore, Lin Mo was advised that any contraband was not permissible, and that his disguise materials would not make it through checked luggage. He had to wait until he was in America to purchase new materials.
Alternatively, there was another route: first go to a smaller neighboring country of Grand Xia Country, then enter America overland.
This would take more time, and even if Lin Mo wanted to carry firearms, it would allow for a smooth customs process.
After some thought, and as he didn’t carry any prohibited items, Lin Mo decided to take the normal route. Therefore, he ordered five passports, along with the corresponding security and customs services.
Without a doubt, it was another considerable sum spent—a fortune to the average person.
There was no other way,
money talks, and to have peace of mind comes at a price.
For Lin Mo at this moment, being able to spend money for safety was a joy he couldn’t get enough of; obviously, he wouldn’t think about saving in this regard.
…..
Five days later.
The passports, international driving permits, and plane tickets had all been delivered, and today was the day they were set to depart.
Out of safety concerns, Lin Mo had declined his parents’ offer to see them off, so before heading out, Xu Qin and the others prepared a very lavish meal.
Lin Changshui placed a piece of meat into Lin Siyu’s bowl and urged, “Daughter, did you pack everything you need?”
Lin Siyu nodded, “Don’t worry, Dad, I’ve got everything.”
“That’s good, be careful on the road, listen to your brother once you’re there, don’t wander off, don’t be willful, don’t worry him, safety first.” Xu Qin then gave a long list of instructions.
Zhao Huixian also had a litany of warnings for Li Jinwen.
Especially now that she was pregnant, she had to be cautious about everything, not overexert herself, not lift heavy things, avoid spicy food, and certainly not fall over.
Lin Mo smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Mom and Dad, I’ll definitely take good care of the family.”
Zhang Li chimed in, “Uncle, Auntie, you can rest easy, even if something happens to me, I won’t let anything happen to everyone else.”
“Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey… ” Zhao Huixian hurriedly said, “No one is allowed to have any accidents, we’re a family now, we all need to be safe and sound.”
“Right, everyone has to be safe and sound.” Xu Qin echoed the sentiment.
The farewell meal was the hardest to swallow.
A mother worries a thousand miles when her child is away.
Especially since Lin Siyu had only just woken up not long ago, Xu Qin and the others had a thousand reasons to be uneasy, ten thousand worries, continually reminding them of various small details of life.
But there was no choice, the family’s situation was well known to all, full of ups and downs that must be faced!
The few elderly folks didn’t much mind, but these young people had a whole lot of good times ahead of them!
After the meal, everyone carried their luggage and walked out of the house.
“Mom, we’re leaving, you guys should head back.”
“Dad, you go back too, don’t worry, we won’t be long before we come back.”
“You’re all worried about us, but nothing will happen, it’s just like going on a vacation.”
“Yeah, go back, we’re heading back now.”
“Be very careful on the road, especially take good care of your sister-in-law, don’t let her get bumped or bruised.”
“Son, make sure to protect everyone and take care of yourself too.”
“Go now, or you’ll miss the flight.”
“Grandpa, goodbye, I will definitely bring you a gift when I come back, goodbye to my grandpas and grandma, and goodbye to Granny.”
Although it was agreed not to send them off, Xu Qin and the others couldn’t help but go to the underground garage to see them off, watching as their car drove away and disappeared from sight, still reluctant to leave.
Lin Changshui sighed, “The kids are all grown up, We can’t tie them to our side with a string; they have a long future ahead and need to go out and make their way!”
“Yeah, what’s there to cry about, stop crying.” Li Jinshan also consoled, “It’s good they are going, then we don’t need to make meals for so many people, it will be more peaceful.”
“Let’s go home, anyway, if we miss them, we can just send a WeChat video.”
“Yeah!”
“I heard there’s a time difference there, is it daytime here and nighttime for them?”
“There is a time difference, so we’ll send them videos in the evening.”
“Exactly, with technology so developed, it’s not like we can’t see them, no need to worry needlessly.”
“Let’s go, let’s go home.”
The four middle-aged and elderly people, all past their fifties, comforted each other as they entered the elevator.
