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

LjChapter 330: Who is scheming against whom?

Anling City.

Late-night street-side barbecue stall.

Even in winter, the barbecue stalls in the southern nights are still bustling. The barbecue master, wearing only a short-sleeved shirt, flips the skewers with one hand and sprinkles seasoning with the other, instantly filling the entire street with an enticing aroma.

“Chairman Lin, you like street food too?”

As Shen Qianqian and Xia Qingqing sat down with Lin Chuan, catching the scent, they joked.

This roadside stall was a location personally chosen by Lin Chuan.

Xia Qingqing also laughed, “Yeah, Chairman Lin, I thought you were out of touch with the common folks.”

“Where did you get that idea?”

Lin Chuan frowned and joked, “I’m just a web novel writer, not some high-class society member. Eating at a roadside barbecue is nothing unusual for me.”

Saying so, he glanced around.

This street was full of late-night food vendors, bustling with people. There were also quite a few rebellious youths riding motorcycles, unfazed by the cold wind, with pretty young girls dramatically sitting on the back of their bikes.

Looking at these scenes, Lin Chuan showed a satisfied smile on his face.

“Feeling nostalgic about your youth?” Shen Qianqian laughed.

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows, “I’m still in my prime.”

“You seem pretty fascinated by these youngsters; do you like this style?” Shen Qianqian teased again.

“All men like eighteen-year-olds.”

Xia Qingqing chimed in with a giggling expression.

Lin Chuan offhandedly bluffed, “I prefer mature ones.”

“Xinxin is a college girl though,” Shen Qianqian hummed.

“Um.”

Lin Chuan touched his nose and grinned, “Can’t college girls be mature?”

Shen Qianqian lightly smiled, “But the youngsters you were just watching aren’t mature, are they?”

Lin Chuan spoke softly,

“Haha, I was watching them because they might have been watching me too.”

“You’re more like an uncle now, right?” Xia Qingqing assessed Lin Chuan, “Do these youngsters like charming men?”

“Oh, you!”

Lin Chuan, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, said, “It’s a good thing you’re with the Cyber Police!”

“What’s wrong with being Cyber Police?”

Xia Qingqing pouted slightly.

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment and explained, “You lack the sharp instinct of a professional police officer!”

“Huh?”

Xia Qingqing was startled.

However, Shen Qianqian suddenly had a flash of insight. Her eyes turned to Lin Chuan’s face, seeing his handsome features light up with a mild smile, yet his deep eyes seemed to be calculating something.

She suddenly understood, “No wonder you’re having supper with us tonight.”

Lin Chuan turned to look at Shen Qianqian and said comfortingly, “Your intuition isn’t too bad.”

“What sort of riddle are you two discussing?”

Xia Qingqing, feeling confused, listened in.

Shen Qianqian leaned over to her ear and whispered a few words, explaining the situation.

Xia Qingqing’s mouth fell open, staring at Lin Chuan in shock, “Are we also a part of your calculations?”@@novelbin@@

Lin Chuan quickly waved his hands, “Absolutely not, it just happened to coincide.”

“I don’t believe that!”

Xia Qingqing huffed.

“Believe it or not, that’s the way it is,” Lin Chuan spread his hands, his face innocent, “Having supper was your idea, I just went along with it!”

Xia Qingqing was momentarily at a loss for words, her face showing displeasure as she hummed, “This meal was part of cooperating with your work, not a regular supper. We’ll have to have another one next time!”

“Is that so?” Lin Chuan’s mouth twitched.

“Is that a problem?” Xia Qingqing looked hopefully at Lin Chuan, her eyes bright and clear.

As a good friend, Shen Qianqian always stood with Xia Qingqing and supported her, “It’s just a supper, Writer Lin can surely afford it.”

Lin Chuan chuckled, “Of course, wanting to eat supper is fine. When I stop writing web novels, I’ll open a late-night stall, and I’ll give you free food.”

“You said it!”

Both women laughed radiantly.

“Alright, the barbecue is here, eat up,” Lin Chuan said as he watched the owner bring over the skewers, hurriedly calling everyone to eat.

Indeed, as Lin Chuan had expected, his appearance with Shen Qianqian and Xia Qingqing was surreptitiously observed.

However, Lin Chuan didn’t care.

He wanted these people to pass on the news that he was eating barbecue with Xia Qingqing and Shen Qianqian.

Only then would he have more opportunities to outsmart Big Tiger and play them at his own game.

Lin Chuan habitually chose a corner seat.

If not paying attention, they preferred to be inconspicuous.

At this point, Shen Qianqian leaned closer to Lin Chuan and whispered, “Lin Chuan, is your next plan ready?”

“Of course.”

Lin Chuan had already scanned the surroundings to ensure no one was eavesdropping before nodding.

Shen Qianqian was curious, “Can you give me a hint, maybe on your phone?”

“Too risky, you’d better stay out of it.”

Lin Chuan waved his hand.

“The tasks I’m currently involved in should be no less dangerous than this, right?” As a criminal police officer, Shen Qianqian was naturally often in danger.

“It’s different,” Lin Chuan said.

“Alright,” Shen Qianqian sounded slightly disappointed.

Xia Qingqing timely asked, “What about you?”

“I’m of course safe,” Lin Chuan replied directly, with certainty.

“I find that hard to believe,” Xia Qingqing said skeptically, “I heard everything you and Qianqian talked about on the phone tonight.”

With Baisheng Group’s power, a large number of people are in Anling, ready to take action against Lin Chuan at any time.

Now, the most dangerous person was him!

“Don’t worry, if I were in any danger, we would be very scared to come out for supper right now, wouldn’t we?” There was never a trace of fear on Lin Chuan’s face.

Xia Qingqing and Lin Chuan made eye contact.

In Lin Chuan’s indifferent gaze, she felt a slight easing of her concerns.
