Chapter 531: Chapter 329: Played in the Applause!_2
“I’m here, I’m here!”
Shen Qianqian snapped back to reality and quickly responded.
“Did you hear what I just said?” Lin Chuan asked.
“I heard it. I’ll report to Hu Zhiduizhang right away!” Shen Qianqian replied immediately.
“Good.”
Lin Chuan nodded.
Just as Shen Qianqian was about to hang up the phone, Xia Qingqing suddenly said, “Lin Chuan, are you busy tonight?”
“Huh? What’s up, Qingqing?” Lin Chuan, startled, asked.
“Nothing, I just felt a bit peckish.” Xia Qingqing eyed Shen Qianqian and gave a sly smile.
“So…” Lin Chuan drew out his words.
“I want you to treat us to some late-night snacks!” Xia Qingqing stuck out her tongue playfully and smiled.
Lin Chuan checked the time, figured a little balance of work and leisure wouldn’t hurt, then grinned, “No problem, you pick the place.”
“Great, I’ll come pick you up! Hanging up now.”

Xia Qingqing smiled sweetly, pursed her lips, her face full of pleasure, and quickly tapped on the phone to hang up.
“Eh, you…” Shen Qianqian opened her mouth.
“What’s up?” Xia Qingqing blinked and asked with a smile, “Aren’t you going to report to Hu Zhiduizhang?”
Shen Qianqian pouted and immediately called Hu Daqiang, conveying everything Lin Chuan had said.
What kind of person is Lin Chuan now?
He was treasured by Anling Police Station.
Each time Lin Chuan made a move, it significantly boosted Anling Police Station’s performance, helping them clinch numerous annual awards in last year’s evaluation.
The covert operation on the underground gambling den this time was naturally a piece of cake for him.
Hu Daqiang gave his consent immediately.
Shen Qianqian hung up the phone.
She looked again, and Xia Qingqing had already changed her clothes.
She wore a dark-colored turtleneck knit bodysuit under light blue skinny jeans, which showcased her slender waist, topped with a moon-white long cardigan that complemented her bright, pinkish face, giving off the impression of warm sunlight scattering after early snow; she looked enchanting.
Shen Qianqian’s mouth twitched, “Qingqing, why dress up so beautifully just for a midnight snack?”
“So are you coming?”
Xia Qingqing countered.
Reluctantly smiling, Shen Qianqian promptly went into her room, opened her wardrobe, and began to dress herself meticulously.
The operation was initially scheduled for tomorrow morning between nine and ten; however, since it was just a feint meant mainly to show Lin Chuan’s cooperation, no extensive preparation was necessary.
So a late-night snack tonight was perfectly fine.
About two minutes later.
Shen Qianqian also got ready, walking beside Xia Qingqing like two dazzling and exquisite twin lotuses: “Let’s go; I’m really craving some midnight snacks.”
“Am I not?” Xia Qingqing blinked.
The two policewomen, tacitly understanding each other, stepped out, braving the cold wind as they drove to Linjiang Mansion to pick up Lin Chuan.
…
Meanwhile.
At the underground gambling den.
Contrary to the joyful reunion in a fragrant, steamy barbecue late-night snack setting of Lin Chuan, Xia Qingqing, and Shen Qianqian, the atmosphere among Big Tiger, Xiaoyang, and Yao Jie was quite oppressive.
Big Tiger was smoking a cigar, the smoke filled the office.
Yao Jie and Xiaoyang stood nearby. Given the disparity in their status, they had no choice but to inhale the second-hand smoke Big Tiger exhaled, without any complaints.
“Phew—”
Big Tiger exhaled another smoke ring, “How is everything coming along at Heart Language Company?”
Yao Jie coughed lightly and immediately responded, “Heart Language Company is all set.”
Big Tiger nodded.
Then he turned to Xiaoyang, “What about manpower?”
Big Tiger knew Lin Chuan was an excellent fighter with unparalleled secret data indicating he could take on several men at once, even more than a dozen.
Even the “King of Killers” from England, Croney, wasn’t a match for Lin Chuan.
Hence, manpower arrangements were crucial.
Xiaoyang, confident and determined, said, “All arranged. Everyone is armed, and there are three guns fitted with silencers. As soon as he walks in, there’s no going back!”
“Very good!” Big Tiger nodded, a rare smile crossing his lips.
Xiaoyang added, “The men we’ve picked are all daredevils from underground fighting arenas, fearless. You can totally rely on them, boss!”
