Chapter 490: Chapter 304 Have You Killed Before? _2

Officer Li raised an eyebrow, “I think so too.”

Lin Chuan touched his nose and then chuckled, “We just met this morning.”

Qin Yun gave an embarrassed smile, not knowing how to respond.

Officer Li took over the conversation with a smile, “As the saying goes, ‘Three days apart should be treated with a fresh outlook.’ Though we’ve only been apart since this afternoon, we have to look at Comrade Lin Chuan with a developing view.”

Lin Chuan picked up a teacup and naturally took a sip, “Officer Li is joking. I’m just here to mooch a meal tonight.”

Officer Li and Qin Yun exchanged smiles.

The atmosphere in the private room of the Purple Cloud Pavilion suddenly filled with a cheerful vibe.

Of course.

Lin Chuan said he was there for a free meal, but actually, partnership was also implied.

“Officer Li, after going through the information on Morgan and Baisheng today, what are your thoughts?” Lin Chuan asked with a smile, his tone as easygoing as casual conversation.

Officer Li looked at Lin Chuan and didn’t treat him like an outsider.

After pondering for a moment, she said, “I’m a few years older than you, so I’ll take advantage of that and call you Lin, may I?”

“Of course, Sister Li,” said Lin Chuan, his lips curling into a smile as he spoke.

Sister Li laughed heartily, making no attempt to conceal it, “Lin, we’ve already reported to our superiors. At present, our capacity is insufficient.”

This was what Zhao Haiping meant.

It was also her previous thought.

Lin Chuan’s mind stirred slightly, “Our current ability is insufficient?”

“Yes,” Sister Li nodded lightly and continued, “At the moment, the International Police also face difficulties, with many cases pending. We are busy dealing with the rising of various crime organizations. However, even if we deploy all our manpower to target Morgan and Baisheng, it would probably still be a daunting task.”

Her words were sincere.

They reflected the current predicaments facing the International Police.

They were juggling numerous and significant issues, facing powerful and dark forces with too many intertwined interests, making it difficult to clear things up momentarily.

For some cases, even if the facts became clear, advancing further was challenging.

Lin Chuan anticipated this kind of response from Sister Li and, rather than feeling disappointed, he said with a smile, “Morgan and Baisheng are indeed tough nuts to crack.”

Sister Li nodded slightly, then personally poured Lin Chuan more tea with a smile, “Tonight is mainly about getting to know each other, to facilitate future collaboration.”

That was her purpose for the dinner.

—To understand Lin Chuan.

If Lin Chuan truly had the skills, perhaps she, along with Zhao Haiping, would consider adopting Lin Chuan’s idea.

The International Police were short-staffed and in need of experts.

If they could recruit an ace agent, then perhaps, thought Sister Li, it was worth a shot.

This wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a well-considered one!

So, who could be the ace agent?

Sister Li looked towards Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan said with a smile, “Of course, we should have plenty of opportunities to collaborate in the future.”

Whether or not a deep collaboration with the International Police was established, Lin Chuan would inevitably have to interact with them while contending with these international forces.

After all, it’s good to have connections on the inside.

In their current exchange, Sister Li seemed to be a very competent officer.

The two had a casual chat.

Soon, a waiter knocked gently on the door, wheeled in the cart, and began serving the dishes, filling the room with the fragrance of food in an instant.

Lin Chuan, Sister Li, and Qin Yun moved from the tea table to the dining table.

Sister Li sat next to Lin Chuan, with Qin Yun beside her, who already understood Officer Li’s thoughts.

He spoke first, “Comrade Lin Chuan, today I’ve gained another fan for you.”

Lin Chuan had just placed a piece of chicken in his bowl when he heard this and delightedly said, “Officer Qin, you’re not talking about Sister Li, are you?”

After saying this, he looked towards Sister Li.

Officer Qin also looked at Sister Li.

Sister Li chuckled lightly, “After finishing my current work, I found myself with some spare time, so I searched for your novel and gave it a read.”

“I dare not claim such an honor!” Lin Chuan hurriedly waved his hands.

This Sister Li had real skills to her name, and calling her an ace officer would not be an exaggeration.
