Awakening the Daily Intelligence System - Chapter 446

Chapter 446: 164, friend, do you see? I have control over everything about you_2

“`

As if to say, do you even deserve to stand here?

The media had their cameras pointed at Johnson Foster, waiting to capture a moment of him losing his temper, or even becoming violent.

And indeed, Johnson Foster was very angry at that moment.

He was a man of great pride, and in his everyday life, no one had ever dared to treat him like this.

But there was nothing he could do,

no matter how wealthy he was, in front of these powerful figures, he was no different from a beggar outside.

Instead, Johnson Foster’s candidacy for Duke only engendered in them a sense of revulsion, as if any Tom, Dick or Harry felt emboldened to strut their stuff.

Johnson Foster didn’t speak, and walked past everyone with an expressionless face.

That was the hard truth; talking back would only bring greater mockery.

The very dogs they set loose specialize in biting people everywhere.

…..

Johnson Foster exited through the back door of the TV station.

The snow was still falling, and it was now late at night with hardly anyone on the streets.

However, his own car was parked not far ahead.

Johnson Foster asked, “Where is everyone?”

The secretary replied truthfully, “Mr. Lin is in the car.”

What?

Before even seeing Lin Mo, Johnson Foster felt shocked twice.

The first shock was his secretary, and the second, his driver.

Both were people he trusted the most, and the relationship between his driver and secretary was not harmonious.

Yet, this Lin Chen who popped up out of nowhere had not only bought off his secretary, but even his driver?

This couldn’t be possible unless Lin Chen had managed to get securely into his car.

For people like him, in a country where civilians are not allowed to carry guns, the security requirement for their cars is as high as for their own homes.

At this moment,

the back door of the van slowly opened.

Dressed in a black suit, Lin Mo sat in the back seat, gestured with his hand, and smilingly said, “Mr. Foster, I’ve been waiting for a while; what are you waiting for?”

His casual demeanor made it seem as though the van and the driver belonged to him.

Lin Mo had laid the groundwork for this day for two whole years, naturally making many preparations.

Moreover, to him, controlling Johnson Foster’s driver and secretary was not a particularly difficult task.

Everyone has secrets, and where there are secrets, the Intelligence System can take effect.

Johnson Foster sat down in the van with a cold face, without saying a word.

The car door closed automatically.

Lin Mo gestured, “Drive.”

The driver didn’t move, looking towards Johnson Foster with a very unnatural expression.

It was that awkward feeling of being caught in an affair, yet being coerced to continue.

Johnson Foster took a deep breath, also guessing that Lin Chen was flaunting his power deliberately.

If a conversation could be had, he might as well first hear the other party’s demands, then talk about other matters.

“Drive,” Johnson Foster repeated Lin Mo’s command.

The driver nodded anxiously, frantically manipulating the controls, his expression growing more unnatural.

Johnson Foster’s expression wasn’t pleasant either; he too was reminded of scenes from movies he had seen.

The van started up and drove steadily down the main streets.

The snow on the road was getting thicker, making it virtually impossible for small cars to move; stranded vehicles were occasionally seen.

Johnson Foster, keeping his eyes on Lin Mo beside him, managed to calm himself and asked, “Mr. Lin, what is the purpose of concocting all these incidents?”

Lin Mo, in no rush to discuss business, looked at the scenery outside the window, paused for a while before speaking, “Mr. Foster, tell me, why do you want to run for Duke?”

Huh?

What kind of absurd question is that?

Johnson Foster had considered all possibilities but never expected that Lin Mo would start by asking him this question.

“`

The man becomes the knife, and I become the fish.

“For the country to become great once more, for the people to lead a happy life,” he had no choice but to reply.

Lin Mo smiled, not speaking.

Such a ridiculous answer was too phony.

Pursing his brows, Johnson Foster replied again, “To realize my personal ambitions, to show those damn bastards how to run the country of America.”

“I certainly have my own self-interest, but I’m not as filthy as the outside world portrays me.”

Lin Mo actually believed this because after two years of collecting all the intelligence, he could see that Johnson Foster still had some pursuits.

Unlike others,

spouting righteousness and morality, yet in their hearts, it’s all business.

This 77-year-old man by his side also wanted to do something at the end of his life.

Whether it’s to leave a legacy for history, or to pursue greater profits, there’s no fault.

After all, who says a covetous man can’t be a good official?

If the officials aren’t satisfied, then the vast populace of America will only suffer more.

Seeing that Lin Mo remained silent, Johnson Foster asked bluntly, “Mr. Lin, let me cut to the chase, why are you supporting me from behind, and what’s your purpose for appearing today?”

“If you represent Grand Xia and want to put your eggs in my basket, then I’m sorry to tell you that you’ve failed.”

“Just as I have failed.”

That’s how Americans generally talk, straight to the point, without beating around the bush.

Lin Mo looked at him and replied with a smile, “Mr. Foster, how can you be so sure about failure? Don’t you always love to say that as long as it’s not over, there’s a chance for a miracle?”

Johnson Foster glanced at his secretary, knowing that these words must have come from him.

The secretary bowed his head slightly, eyes on his nose, nose on his heart, not daring to speak any further.

“It’s impossible, very difficult!” Johnson Foster didn’t dwell on this trivial matter but continued, “Unless the five people ahead of me all meet God tomorrow.”

Lin Mo was silent, looking at him with a serene gaze.

Johnson Foster felt a chill down his spine and blurted out, “Damn, are you crazy? That look… you couldn’t possibly be planning to do that, could you?”

“You absolutely can’t do that, or everyone will suspect me!”

If it were a normal meeting, Johnson Foster wouldn’t overthink it.

But as soon as Lin Mo appeared, he demonstrated astonishing abilities, not only bribing his driver but also his secretary.

The terrifying competence gave Johnson Foster a bold idea—perhaps the other party really had the means to physically eliminate the other five competitors.

“Of course, I wouldn’t do what you mentioned.”

Lin Mo shook his head, adding, “I will find other ways to make them voluntarily drop out of the competition. As for what methods, you don’t need to know.”

“And as for the woman from the Conservative Party, I will find a way to deal with her too.”

Hmm?

How could that be possible!

Instinctively, Johnson Foster didn’t believe such a miraculous person existed in the world.

To offend so many interest groups behind the competitors at once, no one in the world could withstand their wrath.

Not himself,

and he didn’t think this man of Grand Xia nationality before him could either.

Even if he was backed by Grand Xia, it was absolutely impossible to brazenly do such a thing.

Was this a declaration of war?

Lin Mo knew what Johnson Foster was thinking, and if someone else had come to him, his reaction would definitely be similar to Johnson Foster’s.

In fact, Johnson Foster was already calmer than Lin Mo imagined.

“How to do it is my concern. If I’ve mentioned it, rest assured, I have ways to solve the problem.”

Lin Mo looked at him and continued, “And you only need to focus on safely becoming the Duke, leave the rest to me.”

Eye to eye, for a moment neither of them spoke.

After a lengthy silence, Johnson Foster broke the quiet, his voice tinged with hoarseness, “Friend, what’s your endgame in helping me so selflessly?”

“I can tell you in advance, even if you have power beyond my imagination, even power enough to take my life right now.”

“But if you think you can control America through me, then let me tell you, that’s impossible.”

“I love my country!”
