Chapter 1037 - But the Foulmouthed Lu Jinnan Had a Vicious Tongue

The embassy of the PRC in the US had already held a press conference, asking the US to release Lu Jinnan! They also strongly condemned this act of detaining a senior executive of another country’s corporation without reason.
Things blew up very quickly!

The news of Lu Jinnan’s arrest was no longer a trivial piece of news discussed between companies.
Who hadn’t heard of Ran Chaoqian? He was the team leader of the turbine research team in the De Niro Company.
Originally, the turbine that Ran Chaoqian had developed was stunning enough already. Who knew that Ran Chaoqian didn’t even display his full prowess then, wanting to render his services to his home country someday!
He speedily managed to develop such a turbine after returning to China. No one would believe that Ran Chaoqian hadn’t been working for years, perhaps even more than ten years, to come up with this!
Thinking back, the turbine he previously developed in the De Niro Company was perhaps laying the foundation for this ultimate turbine.
Now, Ran Chaoqian was in his home country. What did that tell people?
It told people that if the US were to use the turbines developed by the De Niro Company in their fighter jets and bombers, Ran Chaoqian would have a deep understanding of the turbines used in these models!
It was even scarier to think that Ran Chaoqian could have taken information away with him when he left. He could totally replicate each of these turbines and present them to his government!

On the US military side, before China held a press conference to announce the test flight date of the Heavenly Eye, their intelligence department obtained news of it. As they counted the number of models that used the turbines developed by the De Niro Company, although it wasn’t enough to make them tremble, it certainly made their scalps tighten. They didn’t hesitate to exert pressure on their government.
But what could their government do? They couldn’t find Ran Chaoqian or his family. The only person related to Ran Chaoqian that they could find was the Kaide Corporation’s president, Lu Jinnan.
Hence, Lu Jinnan was called up for investigation…
Lu Jinnan was taken away by the CIA. The CIA mainly wanted to find out what Ran Chaoqian took away with him when he left.
But the foulmouthed Lu Jinnan had a vicious tongue with an authentic American accent. The CIA got more than ten secret service agents to question Lu Jinnan, and he managed to infuriate all of them, making them slam their chairs and leave the room!
Even the CIA person who was famous for his gentle style of interrogation got so mad that he walked out of the room looking livid.
The CIA seemed to sense that there was a problem with Lu Jinnan.
He seemed very familiar with their style of questioning, and he seemed especially good at reverse thinking. Something seemed off with him.
How could the president of the Kaide Corporation, Lu Jinnan, be so familiar with the way the CIA interrogated people!
Not only could Lu Jinnan’s retorts infuriate someone so badly their internal organs shifted inside them, but that person also wouldn’t be able to come up with a word to refute him…

There were demands from outside for them to either release Lu Jinnan or give them a reason for his arrest!
They had racked their brains to make up a crime to accuse Lu Jinnan of, but to their exasperation, Lu Jinnan had done nothing illegal ever since he came to America…
Hence, they said to temporarily give the same reason they gave when they arrested the vice-president of a company in Canada…
This was obviously a weak excuse, and his lawyer had already come to bail him out. Therefore, the US came up with a ruthless tactic. They were planning to announce to the public that they suspected Lu Jinnan had stolen intelligence from the US!
Now that they had managed to come up with a reason, the US government that had been attacked relentlessly by the media and the consulate decided to hold a press conference the next day.
When Fu Huai’an rushed to the Kaide Corporation to hold the press conference, Lin Nuan had already arrived at the Lin residence with Cen Mo and Song Yao.
Because they didn’t want to give Cen Mo and Song Yao any pressure, even though Old Master Lin and Old Madam Lin were dying to meet this biological brother of Lin Nuan’s, they held themselves back and didn’t come. They said they wanted to let Cen Mo and Song Yao become familiar with Lin Jingquan and Liang Mulan before they invited him to the Lin family mansion for a gathering on the night before New Year’s Eve.
Cen Mo had been to the Lin residence before and had seen Liang Mulan, but it was just that one time, and they didn’t have an in-depth chat either. As for Lin Jingquan, Cen Mo had never seen him before.
However, Lin Jingquan did hear from Lin Chen that while he rarely ever admired someone, he admired Cen Mo from the bottom of his heart.
Of course Lin Chen would. To have grown up in that kind of environment, although Cen Mo had some psychological problems, he didn’t develop a split personality or become a pervert with a twisted mind, so one could deduce he had very strong mental strength.

Today, Lin Chen came back from the office early and had changed into casual home clothes. He was standing at the entrance of the Lin residence, waiting to welcome Lin Nuan, Cen Mo, and Song Yao’s arrival…
Lin Chen had a reserved personality, and when he spoke to Liang Mulan about Cen Mo, he merely said a word or two. But later, when he found out that Cen Mo was Lin Nuan’s biological brother, Lin Chen told Liang Mulan all about Cen Mo’s parentage, including what he went through with the Cen family.
When Liang Mulan heard the story, her heart ached badly for him. After all, she was a mother herself. She imagined that if Lin Chen were in Cen Mo’s shoes, she would feel suffocated and be about to go crazy! She even clenched her teeth and said she was going to fight to her death with that wretch at the Cen family and perish with her!
After the rage passed and she calmed down, Liang Mulan was full of pity towards Cen Mo…
She specifically called Lin Nuan to ask what Cen Mo liked to eat. Lin Nuan hadn’t interacted with Cen Mo for long, but according to her observations, Cen Mo wasn’t picky with food at all, and there wasn’t anything he particularly liked to eat.
Liang Mulan then thought that since Lin Nuan and Cen Mo were biological siblings, if it was something Lin Nuan liked to eat, Cen Mo would more or less like it too. Just like Lin Chen and Lin Ran… even though the two hadn’t grown up together, their taste buds were pretty similar.
Seeing a black car come to a stop before their door, Liang Mulan fixed the shawl on her shoulders. When she saw Cen Mo getting out of the driver’s seat, her eyes welled up instantly. She looked like a loving and benevolent mother.
The housekeeper and servants of the Lin family took the cue and pulled open the car doors to the back row on both sides. Lin Nuan and Song Yao got out of the car.

Mom, Dad… Brother!
Lin Nuan looked towards Lin Ran and flashed her a smile after she finished greeting them.
Lin Chen stood with both hands in his pockets. In his casual home clothes, Lin Chen didn’t have the intimidating aura of a businessman, looking more elegant and gentle instead.
Lin Ran was clearly feeling glad, yet she acted haughty, simply nodding once, though she wasn’t able to conceal the smile on her lips.
Cen Mo supported Song Yao and walked with her to Lin Nuan’s side. Lin Nuan introduced them,
This is my older brother and my sis-in-law!

Liang Mulan nodded repeatedly.
Mom knows! Mom knows!

Liang Mulan then shifted her gaze away from Lin Nuan and stared at Cen Mo. Cen Mo could see the gentleness in her eyes.
Perhaps because she thought of what Cen Mo went through, Liang Mulan couldn’t resist walking up to Cen Mo to pull his arm and pat it.
What happened in the past is in the past. What matters is that you’re home now!
