Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 506: 194, Father?_1

Chen Shanhe was not clear about what Chen Kainan did every day, after all, a father couldn’t possibly keep up with each and every member of their large clan.

Compared to his son, he was actually more curious about what Lin Mo had done in the past.

After Chen Kainan’s disappearance, he had thoroughly investigated these matters, but in the end, he had found nothing.

He didn’t know how Chen Kainan had disappeared from the villa, nor did he know where he had been hidden in the end.

It was a situation where the living was unseen, and the dead unaccounted for.

Lin Mo, watching the changes in Chen Shanhe’s eyes, could roughly guess what he was thinking.

He did not rush to start telling his story but instead waved his hand at the surveillance camera.

The next moment,

the television hanging in the center of the room lit up, displaying a video.

The setting in the footage was identical to the current room, the same layout, including the six original iron cages.

By this time, the black cloth covering the cages had been pulled down, revealing five people held captive within.

Four of the people seemed in a slightly better physical state, at least clothed and with some flesh still visible on their bodies, but the man in the sixth cage was not only naked but also without a trace of excess flesh.

His skin was taut over his bones, with a fierce and terrifying appearance, like the starved ghosts in horror movies, unrecognizable in his original form.

However, based on certain physical characteristics, Chen Shanhe could recognize at a glance that this was his precious son Chen Kainan.

He also knew a few others, particularly another man, who had been a good friend of Chen Kainan in childhood and later disappeared due to an accident.

He had helped in the search at the time, but had not found many clues.

At this moment,

seeing the familiar faces, a possibility quickly dawned on Chen Shanhe.

Could it be that his precious son Chen Kainan was the one who had taken them?

The reason it couldn’t have been Lin Mo was that the man had disappeared more than a decade ago, when Lin Mo was just a teenager, still in school and incapable of such an act.

With this thought, Chen Shanhe subconsciously looked at the other people and shockingly found more familiar faces.

There was a woman who seemed to be Chen Kainan’s first love; later, for some unknown reason, they had broken up, and she had even come to make a scene at their house. Chen Shanhe had casually seen her once, not thinking much of it then.

Now it seemed, his son, who appeared more honest, was even more ruthless and savage than he.

He had corralled enemies, friends, childhood companions, and first loves like animals, an approach that was quite perverse.

At least Chen Shanhe had never had such a thought.

“Communicating with a smart person is truly a simple matter.”

Lin Mo, observing the continuous change in Chen Shanhe’s expressions, said with a smile, “I haven’t even started talking, and Elder Mr. Chen seems to have guessed quite a bit already.”

“That saves me the trouble of explaining further!”

Lin Mo, with a calm gaze, looked towards Chen Kainan on the television and spoke solemnly, “Mr. Chen, take a look at who this is.”

The naked Chen Kainan showed no reaction, as if suffering from dementia, curled up on the ground, drooling, with his eyes blankly staring at the floor.

This was mental deterioration due to prolonged captivity with no communication or interaction, as well as the degradation of language and response abilities.

Although Chen Shanhe had never tormented opponents in such a way, he had seen similar cases.

The thought of possibly ending up like this himself made his breathing involuntarily heavy.

Outside, he was a formidable figure, able to topple a nation with a flick of the wrist, but within this iron cage of less than 5 square meters, he was actually no more than an ordinary old man.

Chen Shanhe also felt pain, weariness, and when fears of the future arose, he would involuntarily become tense.

“Make Mr. Chen more lucid.” Lin Mo’s voice rang out again.

Crack…

As the sound fell, the iron cage containing Chen Kainan was electrified, the sound of the current passing through the bars chilling to the bone.

Chen Kainan began to tremble uncontrollably, violently so.

After a mere ten seconds or so, his body curled up even tighter, and a murky liquid flowed out from his body.

His current state of psychotic shutdown was more severe than before. Simple electric shocks would only cause a physical response but were not enough to bring him back from abnormality.

It was clear that the staff in the video were aware of this as well.@@novelbin@@

After intermittent shocks lasting nearly a minute, one of the attendants took a syringe from the side rack and injected it into Chen Kainan’s vein.

As the liquid entered his body, Chen Kainan’s convulsions intensified, even more severe than the previous electric shocks.

After two to three minutes of spasms, a look of clarity returned to his eyes, and he looked despairingly at the woman close at hand, muttering hoarsely.

His teeth had fallen out, and opening his mouth slightly revealed extensive rot on the upper jaw.

That made it almost impossible for him to utter complete syllables, his sounds were mere choked sobs, like those of a child.

Chen Shanhe’s expression grew increasingly grim.

He could tolerate his own failures, but the prospect of becoming what he saw now was unbearable.
