Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Chapter 530: Chapter 329: Playing with Applause!

The evening breeze was gentle.

Shen Qianqian leaned against the windowsill, cradling her phone in her hands, flipping through “Ace Agent” page by page.

The news that Lin Chuan had planted an informant next to Lucas had spread through Anling Police Station.

As a familiar face at the police station, many officers were probing Shen Qianqian for information.

Only she was confused as well.

She thought she had a good grasp on Lin Chuan, but she never anticipated that he had kept an ace up his sleeve.

Xia Qingqing had brought back the ‘Secret Manual,’ which she had studied closely for a long time.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t decipher anything from it.

Shen Qianqian was quite stubborn when it came to matters involving Lin Chuan.

So, taking advantage of a free moment without any cases on her plate, she revisited “Ace Agent.”

Loosely claiming it as another form of study.

“What’s up with this guy, always surprising everyone with moves like this?” Shen Qianqian muttered to herself as she read.

Beside her,

Xia Qingqing laughed, “Isn’t that kind of unexpectedness normal for him?”

With the heating on at home, both sisters were comfortably dressed in chiffon pajamas, one in green, the other in purple, showing off their fair long legs and lotus-root-like arms.

Shen Qianqian lightly tapped the screen with her thumb, flipping to the next page of the novel.

She pouted and added, “This guy has taken down Morgan Group and doesn’t even treat us to a meal, heartless!”

Xia Qingqing’s lips curled slightly upwards, revealing a smile on her innocent face, “He’s got more important things to do right now, hasn’t he?”

Shen Qianqian glanced sideways, half-jokingly huffing, “Well, I see how it is, we’re not on the same side anymore, you’ve gone over to Lin Chuan’s camp.”

Xia Qingqing quickly came over to wrap her arm around Shen Qianqian, chuckling sweetly, “Maybe he’ll invite you out for late-night food soon.”

“I highly doubt that!”

Shen Qianqian retorted with a playful scold.

Ring, ring, ring—

Suddenly, a familiar ringtone sounded.

Shen Qianqian’s expression faltered for a moment, as she saw a line of caller ID pop up on her phone’s screen.

——Criminal suspect Lin Chuan.

“Hm?”

Shen Qianqian turned her head towards Xia Qingqing, blinking, “Qingqing, do you have a prophetic mouth or something?”

Xia Qingqing’s mouth dropped open, and then she reached out to tap the blue circle on Shen Qianqian’s phone screen—the answer button.

Then she said, “Hurry and pick up, after waiting so eagerly, the criminal suspect has finally called.”

Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, brimming with laughter, “Are you jealous?”

“Jealous of what?”

Over the phone, Lin Chuan heard Shen Qianqian’s voice and asked.

Xia Qingqing chuckled softly, insincerely saying, “I’m not jealous at all; he must want something from you!”

Shen Qianqian, unfazed, asked directly, “Comrade Lin Chuan, why are you calling me so late at night? Is there some sort of emergency?”

“Officer Shen, you guessed right!” Lin Chuan gave a positive response.

Shen Qianqian curled her lip, falling silent.

Xia Qingqing started to grin at the side, her innocent, delicate face showing a teasing charm.

“What’s the emergency?”

Although Shen Qianqian often teased Lin Chuan about being thick-headed, hearing Lin Chuan had an emergency still prompted her to ask.

“You’re at home, right? There’s no one there besides Qingqing?” Lin Chuan cautiously asked.

Shen Qianqian glanced at Xia Qingqing and nodded, “Right.”

“That’s good.”

Lin Chuan then relaxed and directly said, “Here’s the thing, I’ve discovered a large underground gambling den.”

“A large underground gambling den?”

Shen Qianqian immediately switched to work mode, her expression growing serious, “Where did you get this information?”@@novelbin@@

“It’s kind of a coincidence.”

Lin Chuan began to recount the series of events, sharing parts he could reveal, while leaving Squirrel’s part out of the story.

Shen Qianqian frowned, “Are you saying that this underground gambling den is a pawn Baisheng Group has planted in Anling?”

“Isn’t that obvious?” Lin Chuan countered.

“So, what do you need us to do?” Shen Qianqian asked directly.

She knew Lin Chuan.

If Lin Chuan was telling her this information, he definitely wanted the Anling Police to cooperate with him to achieve a larger goal.

As for how big of a net Lin Chuan wanted to cast, and how big of a fish he was hoping to catch, that she wasn’t sure of.

Lin Chuan chuckled.

He had a plan already in mind; simply shutting down one gambling den would just lead Baisheng Group to create another.

It was a short-term solution.

His goal had always been the Baisheng Group!

Thus, Lin Chuan said, “I need you guys to stage a feint!”

“A feint?”

Shen Qianqian was puzzled.

Lin Chuan nodded, revealing part of his plan:

“That’s right. Heart Language Company has asked me to visit their office tomorrow at three in the afternoon. If things go as expected, they’ll choose to make a move against me at Heart Language Company. Once a direct conflict with them breaks out, the forces I have in reserve might be exposed. Therefore, I need you to release news that you’re raiding that underground gambling den tomorrow, to make them call off their plans against me.”

“They won’t suspect you then?” Shen Qianqian questioned.

“No! They don’t know that I’m onto them. Based on their understanding of me, learning about the gambling den, I’d act very carefully and meticulously, ensuring not a single piece of information leaks out. So, your actions tomorrow will first eliminate me from their suspects!”

Lin Chuan explained.

Shen Qianqian sucked in a breath of cold air.

This guy, what a psychological battle.

— Utilizing the adversaries’ perception of his ‘careful and meticulous’ characteristic and turning it on its head, it smacked of a covert strategy.

At the side, Xia Qingqing also grinned, pondering for a moment.

“Hey, Qianqian, can you hear me?” Lin Chuan’s voice came through the phone again.
