Chapter 317: Chapter 316: Gu Chu vs Lin Mo (1)
Translator: ShinoJ
Ever since she accidentally entered this universe two years ago, Gu Chu had a faint suspicion that Chen Si and Mo might also be in this world. Therefore, before entering the capital, Gu Chu had tried her best to keep a low profile and act in secret, not revealing any clues.
These two people were Gu Chu’s enemies.
One was the main culprit who framed her for all the crimes and caused her to be hunted down by the whole world.
The other was the prosecutor who pursued her passionately, hoping to put silver handcuffs on her and put her in prison for life.
No matter which one it was, Gu Chu gnashed her teeth in hatred.
If there was a chance, Gu Chu would make torture these two people so much that they wished they were dead.
It was quiet in the black luxury car.
The pale man didn’t answer Gu Chu directly. Instead, he kept looking at Gu Chu with his strange eyes. The little girl in front of him was only five or six years old. She had cute short hair, baby fat on her face, and her eyes were clear and bright. She was much cuter than an ordinary child.
In fact, she was somewhat similar to the Ace of Hearts in her previous life.
Especially her eyes.
It reminded Lin Mo of the first time he met her.
When they first met, Ace of Hearts was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Her hair was cut short, and she was skinny and small. She liked to wear a light gray coat, and outsiders would usually think of her as a boy who ran away from school. Ace of Hearts was doing well on the internet and was famous even overseas. Yet in reality, she was staying in a small cybercafe in the countryside as a manager.
“Mo” appeared in front of her.
She was sitting at the management desk of the internet cafe. Her right hand was stirring the noodles, and her left hand was typing rapidly on the keyboard. Without raising her head, she said lazily, “A normal computer costs five yuan an hour, and a gaming one costs ten yuan an hour. Alipay, WeChat, and cash are all accepted. If you pay, I’ll turn on the computer for you.”
He found it interesting and asked her, “How much does it cost to cover the entire internet cafe for ten years?”
She raised her head and saw a pair of beautiful eyes, like the deer elves in the green forest.
...
“If you don’t say something, I’m going to jump out of the car.” Gu Chu crossed her legs. She did not think that it was weird for a six-year-old girl to cross her legs at all.
Lin Mo gestured for the driver to start the car.
The black car slowly drove out of the underground parking lot.
“Who do you think I am?” Lin Mo asked her.
Gu Chu actually had some doubts in his heart, but she was not too sure. Old Mo and Chen Si had too many similarities. They were equally cunning, equally capricious, and equally good at hiding themselves.
Gu Chu said, “I’m not guessing.”
Lin Mo said, “I’m Chen Si. Long time no see.”
Gu Chu: “...”
Gu Chu narrowed his eyes and once again sized up Lin Mo from head to toe. In this book, everyone had changed their appearance and become a small character among ordinary people. Would Chen Si really become this extremely rich and intimidating Chinese American in front of him?
Gu Chu was silent for a moment.
Suddenly, Gu Chu raised her small head and asked in a serious manner, “March 3rd, 2021, midnight, Hawaii Hotel, who was on top? You or me?”
Lin Mo: ...
Lin Mo: ????
Gu Chu chuckled. “Come on, that guy is way better at acting than you. You’re not him, so you’re lacking that annoying character of his.” From the reaction of the person in front of her, Gu Chu was certain that he was definitely not that bastard Chen Si.
It could only be the unfathomable Mo.
“What’s your name now? Tell me.” Gu Chu was very curious.
“Lin Mo.”
Gu Chu tilted her head and thought for a moment. She felt that the name Lin Mo was a little familiar... On second thought, damn you! Wasn’t this Lin Xiaozhou’s American brother, Lin Mo?
In the novel, Lin Xiaozhou was a cannon fodder who died very quickly. The author purely created this character to boot the word count of the novel, and there was not even a single word about Lin Xiaozhou’s family.
Who would have thought that Lin Mo would suddenly become Lin Xiaozhou’s older brother?
Gu Chu was quite puzzled. “Do you know the plot of the original novel? At this time in the original novel, Lin Xiaozhou has already died for half a year.”
Lin Mo nodded. “I know.”
“Then why didn’t you save him?” Gu Chu despised him in her heart. Mo was still the same cold person that left her to die. Even if it was his family, he could still wave his fan and watch them die.
He seemed to be an emotionless profit machine.
He could easily throw away people and things that were useless to him.
“You will save him.” Lin Mo smiled. After entering this world, Lin Mo was certain that Ace of Hearts would also be here. He had been searching in the dark, waiting in the dark. The plot of this world was slowly progressing according to the original story until one day, Lin Mo saw a change.
A person who was supposed to die didn’t die.
An unlucky person didn’t get unlucky.
He knew that Ace of Hearts had come.
At first, Lin Mo actually suspected that “Gu Manxi” was Ace of Hearts, so he investigated to dispel this suspicion. Then, he used some other means to soon find out that all of the changes revolved around this little girl called “Gu Chu”.
The once arrogant and domineering Ace of Hearts had turned into a little girl.
Gu Chu: “If I didn’t save Lin Xiaozhou, would you have just watched him die?”
Lin Mo smiled and said, “I never interfere with the plot.”
Even if the person who was going to die was his own brother in this body, Lin Mo wouldn’t pay too much attention to it.
Life and death were fated. He didn’t need to interfere.
“Tsk, heartless.” Gu Chu sighed in her heart. It was still the scheming and ruthless Lin Mo from her memories.
Lin Xiaozhou was such a cute and innocent character. He was in the prime of his youth. He would never have thought that his brother would watch him die.
The black luxury car drove all the way and soon arrived at a building in the city center. Lin Mo was the owner of this building. Gu Chu jumped out of the car and looked up at the magnificent building. She thought, “this guy is really rich. I wonder how much he has...”
Lin Mo brought Gu Chu into the building. Many staff members in the building greeted Lin Mo politely when they saw him.
“Mr. Mo.”
“Good afternoon, Mr. Mo.”
“Good afternoon, Mr. Mo.”
Many staff members noticed Gu Chu, who was beside Lin Mo, and they could not hide the surprise in their eyes. The boss was usually a loner. Why would he bring a five or six-year-old girl?
“You seem to have quite a reputation in the United States.” Gu Chu muttered softly.
Lin Mo smiled faintly. “You could say so.”
Gu Chu’s eyes curved into a crescent moon. The little calculations in her heart were rattling. She said in a low voice, “Do you want to play something exciting?”
Lin Mo did not notice Gu Chu’s strange behavior. He only asked gently, “What?”
The corners of Gu Chu’s pink lips curled up, and her small mouth opened slightly.. In front of all the staff, she opened her arms to Lin Mo and said in a baby voice, “Daddy, Daddy, I’m tired from walking. Carry me!”
