Chapter 602: 241, go home_1 Chapter 602: 241, go home_1 If he could help Grand Xia with some matters, Lin Mo was certainly willing to do so.
After all, it was his country, so it could be said to be his undeniable responsibility.
Moreover, he possessed so many high-tech blueprints and design drawings, and was privy to the most secretive intelligence among various countries.
Although these items were all very precious, their use, or lack thereof, without the backing of a powerful supporter, could indeed prove to be very troublesome.
If it had been the situation before, Lin Mo could have chosen to hide himself, or he might have simply taken his family and continued living under a new identity.
With Chen Shanhe, the greatest threat, now gone, if he truly wished to disguise his family well and choose a small country to live in, there wouldn’t actually be much danger.
…
But now that he had chosen to return to his country and was working hard to ensure his family could live in the sunshine, like ordinary people, his choices were very different from before.
“No problem,”
Lin Mo answered very decisively and added, “As long as the country needs it, and as long as I have the time, I can provide some help.”
“But there has to be a bottom line: most of my time should belong to my family and myself.
I can help Grand Xia, but it must be on my own terms,”
“I know you’re very powerful.
In fact, before we began communicating, someone specifically warned me to be careful when talking to you, that I shouldn’t be too forceful in front of you.

But I think being too weak isn’t good either.”
“I’ve always believed we should discuss matters in a relatively peaceful state.”
“You and I are equals in this relationship.”
Equals in this relationship?
When he heard this, the National Elder was clearly startled.
He had never expected Lin Mo to say this in front of him; indeed, no one had ever dared to be so presumptuous before him.
Yes,
Presumptuous.
Because in the land of Grand Xia, being on an equal footing with him in itself was a defamation of the system.
Lin Mo’s remarks did make him somewhat uncomfortable.
Yet, as a National Elder who had been through so much, and having emerged from life-threatening dangers to reach his position today, the confidence he had was not something ordinary people could compare with.
In the face of any situation, he could maintain absolute calm and outwit anyone, quickly finding the best solutions to all problems.
It was because of these capabilities that he had climbed to where he was today, and why he had been able to maintain his status.
That was his power.
“Huff…”
The National Elder took a deep breath and, with a calm gaze, said to Lin Mo, “Lin Mo, you’re not only one of the most brilliant schemers I’ve ever met but also quite daring.
Do you understand what it means to say these things to me?”
“Indeed, you are now very impressive.
You are not only able to help Johnson Hester become the Duke in America, but you also have control over many powerful families, including going up against those political figures behind the scenes.”
“Even Japan is included in your calculations.”
“To shake two countries, neither of which is small, with your own power alone, such a feat would undoubtedly make one’s name live for evermore, no matter who it was attributed to.”
“I bet even the most professional Hollywood director wouldn’t dare to make a movie based on your life because it would surely be criticized by audiences as being exaggerated.”
“But don’t forget, they are simply countries with very short histories, immature in many ways.
We, on the other hand, are different; we are a nation with more than five thousand years of civilization.”
“In this country, there have been too many extraordinary people and unimaginable stories.”
“But why don’t you reflect for a moment on whether any ruler from any dynasty could agree to the terms you’ve stated?”
“Let’s not talk about me; even Emperor Taizong of Tang, known for his generosity and compassion, wouldn’t go to such lengths.
Perhaps you should consider altering your conditions.”
“I don’t want to threaten you, but this is not America, nor can it be Japan.”
“I hope you can adjust your mindset.”
The National Elder’s tone wasn’t severe; in fact, he wanted to exaggerate things further because, after all, that was his true opinion.
He was unlikely to tolerate Lin Mo’s statement, and even less likely to approach him from a perspective of peace when discussing issues.
The relationship between the two was inherently unequal, a reality that was very difficult to change or even beyond question.
Lin Mo didn’t retort to the National Elder’s words, for he knew it would be futile.
This was the first time he had met such a high-ranking figure in Grand Xia, and Lin Mo had no illusions about solving their issues through what seemed like a casual conversation.
He had big problems on his shoulders, nothing that could be clarified in a few words.
Being able to make contact today was already a sure win for Lin Mo.
After all, many of his future plans, including living with his family in the sunlight, required the National Elder’s approval.
However, Lin Mo was cautious by nature.
Besides his interactions with the National Elder, he had prepared another exit strategy for himself.
If he wanted to leave, then no one would be able to stop him, no matter who they were.
Even if he found himself in a place like the First Military Industrial Factory, he could still mobilize many resources to create an opportunity to leave Grand Xia with his family.
