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

Chapter 541: Chapter 334: Investigating Lin Chuan’s Background!_2

Lin Chuan rested his hands on the table and smiled, “This isn’t actually difficult.”

“Oh?”

Zhou Weijun became more curious.

Lin Chuan explained, “Elder Zhou has the characteristics of National Security.”

Zhou Weijun narrowed his eyes, “National Security’s characteristics?”

This statement seemed quite mystical.

If one really had to explain it, it would be based on intuition.

However, Zhou Weijun didn’t believe that Lin Chuan could determine his identity based solely on intuition.

Lin Chuan chuckled lightly, “National Security people have a keen insight in their eyes. When Elder Zhou and I made eye contact just now, I could feel this extraordinary insight.”

“Lin is very good at giving compliments.”

Zhou Weijun laughed heartily, “Lin seems to know a lot about our National Security.”

This little flattery was just right.

A young man by their side poured Lin Chuan a cup of tea and also took a secretive look at Lin Chuan.

“I’m just guessing.”

Lin Chuan bluffed.

In fact, when he had experienced being an agent in the Virtual World, he realized that agents, especially those dealing with intelligence, were always engaged in gathering information.

Just like the young man who just poured him tea, he observed Lin Chuan secretly three times and looked towards the door twice.

Multitasking.

“Comrade Lin is being modest,” Zhou Weijun nodded, purposely trying to close the distance between them, and continued, “Comrade Lin, why don’t you guess the purpose of our visit?”

Lin Chuan looked at Zhou Weijun and his assistant.

If the two had been in uniform, Lin Chuan would have been a bit nervous, not knowing if it could be another misunderstanding.

However, since both of them were in casual clothes, they were certainly not here to arrest him.

Lin Chuan relaxed and smiled, “I would appreciate it if Elder Zhou could clarify, as I really can’t guess.”

Actually, Lin Chuan could guess.

Sometimes, even if you know, you have to pretend you don’t.

Feigning ignorance was a form of self-protection.

Zhou Weijun smiled, the wrinkles on his face slightly showing, “Actually, I am your reader. I wanted to meet the writer after reading your book.”

Lin Chuan was slightly startled, “Elder Zhou means, ‘Ace Agent’?”

Zhou Weijun nodded, “That’s right.”

“I didn’t expect Elder Zhou to also read web novels,” Lin Chuan was rather surprised.

“Whether it’s web novels or data, shouldn’t gathering useful intelligence from everywhere be a trait of National Security people?” Zhou Weijun used Lin Chuan’s words to pose a question.

Lin Chuan grinned, “Absolutely, absolutely.”

“You’ve written a great book, ‘Ace Agent’. It truly features some of the most top-level agents I’ve ever seen,” Zhou Weijun praised.

“Elder Zhou has many talented people under him. My book only contains fictional scenarios; they shouldn’t be taken as reality,” Lin Chuan hastily said.

Zhou Weijun chuckled, paused for a moment, then sighed longingly, “Nowadays, some of the youngsters at the agency still have a hard time making a good impression. If everyone was like Mr. Lin depicted in Comrade Lin’s book, I’d be relieved.”

Lin Chuan forced a smile, “Just fictional characters, fictional characters.”

At that moment,

Zhou Weijun’s eyes slightly narrowed as he said with a smile, “I’ve seen your book’s review section, many people are saying it’s your biography.”

Lin Chuan’s mouth twitched as he explained, “Actually, the readers are just having a bit of fun.”

Lin Chuan wasn’t sure if Zhou Weijun was familiar with the term ‘having fun.’

However, considering Zhou Weijun kept up with online novels and was an expert in the field of intelligence, understanding it should not be a problem.

“Is that so?”

Zhou Weijun appeared to smile but not smile, his deep eyes shining again, as if intending to penetrate Lin Chuan’s eyes and strike directly at his soul.

If it were ordinary readers, Lin Chuan would just take it as a joke.

But the other party was Zhou Weijun.

His identity… could be censored multiple times if mentioned in a web novel.

The level was too high.

He asked this question, undoubtedly putting great pressure on Lin Chuan.

If he answered wrongly and was spotted by him.

Explaining would indeed be a bit troublesome.

“Elder Zhou, before entering the novel, there’s a reminder that it is purely fictional and should not be confused with reality,” Lin said with a smile, his eyes as tranquil as an ancient well, not letting Zhou see the slightest flaw.

Zhou was widely experienced.

Among the younger generation, he had never seen anyone like Lin Chuan, who could maintain his composure under his gaze.

Lin Chuan’s performance truly surprised him.

He smiled, “Comrade Lin, you must know, we have a certain quality.”

“Please enlighten me, Elder Zhou,” Lin asked.

Zhou smiled, “Calm and composed.”

Every agent or undercover went through specific training, among which psychological training was crucial.

Calmness and composure were essential qualities for every agent and undercover.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to carry out tasks methodically in the extreme environment of being undercover and to hide one’s identity.

Lin nodded, strongly agreeing.

Zhou continued to laugh, not withholding his admiration for Lin, “Comrade Lin, you are the most calm and composed person I have ever seen.”

Lin was stirred.

Goodness.

Elder Zhou’s words had a double meaning.

Just now, he indicated that being calm and composed was a necessary quality for people like them, and now he pointed out that Lin was the calmest and most composed person he had ever seen.

Wasn’t he subtly saying, Lin was an agent?

Misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding, Elder Zhou!

Lin immediately said, “The calm and composed one is Mr. Lin, I am just a web novel writer in reality.”

Lin really didn’t want to admit to being an ‘agent’ in reality.

He had no file in National Security, so where else could he be an agent?

If Elder Zhou put Lin together with foreign forces in his thinking, that would be a huge misunderstanding.

“You are not ordinary at all,” Zhou said cheerfully.

Between the two, it was like they were testing each other, strategizing.

Lin still wasn’t sure of Elder Zhou’s exact intentions.

But one thing was certain—

Elder Zhou was probing his background!

Given Elder Zhou’s status, Lin had to respond with caution, feeling immense pressure!

And sitting across from him, Zhou was indeed probing Lin’s details.

However, up to now, he couldn’t figure anything out.

After the destruction of the Morgan Group Asia-Pacific Branch, he received intelligence to investigate the reasons behind the demise of the Morgan Group Asia-Pacific Branch, and the investigation led to Lin Chuan.

Following the trail, he delved deeper.

Zhou found that the key figure in this battle was undoubtedly Lin Chuan.

It seemed that Lin had been plotting within the Morgan Group for a long time, during which Lin turned Lucas’s secretary Moli into his informant, obtaining crucial information, and closely monitoring all the moves of the Morgan Group Asia-Pacific Branch, which greatly shocked Zhou.

This was an extremely professional operation.

No ordinary agent or undercover could accomplish this.

In this regard, Lin had already reached the level of an ace agent.

Upon further investigation, Zhou discovered Lin’s identity as a web novel writer, and one of his books was aptly named “Ace Agent.”

Many people have a trait, when they encounter a familiar field, they can’t help but click in to take a look.

The word ‘agent’ stirred something in Zhou’s blood.
