Chapter 485 - Chapter 485: Chapter 301: Police Deification (2/2)
With a gentle smile, he slightly eased the oppressive atmosphere, “Officers, I am fully aware of the clout these two groups wield. They can’t make much of a splash domestically, but they act with impunity abroad, and that certainly comes from a place of strength. However, they are not utterly indestructible.”
Li Tong looked deeply at Lin Chuan, her voice tinged with complexity, “Comrade Lin Chuan, this isn’t fiction, but a massive reality standing before us.”
Lin Chuan nodded and smiled, “I know.”
“Since you know,” Li Tong said seriously, “you should understand the difficulty of bringing down these two major criminal groups.”
She didn’t want to not do it.
On the contrary, she was very willing to take action.
But, as Qin Yun had said, it was difficult, as hard as climbing to heaven.
Therefore, in dealing with the case that Lin Chuan faced this time, INTERPOL’s regional head for Southeast Asia, Zhao Haiping, also adhered to the principle of “curbing their arrogance.”
Li Tong felt the same way.
As for crushing them, Zhao Haiping and Li Tong wouldn’t even dare to dream of it.
Should someone indeed manage to completely destroy the Morgan and Baisheng criminal syndicates, a huge wave would be set off throughout the global police community.
The person in command of such an operation might very well become legendary within the police forces!
Lin Chuan broadly understood Li Tong’s thoughts, and he could empathize with her, Qin Yun, and the difficulty faced by the entire INTERPOL organization in the Southeast Asia region.
The desire to act was there, yet they felt utterly helpless.
Lin Chuan sipped his tea, his lips curling slightly upward, confidence beaming in his smile, “I think, we can still pull it off.”
“We, can pull it off?”
Li Tong’s brow was knit partly in skepticism.
She clearly saw the confidence on Lin Chuan’s face. She wanted to call it the ignorance of the arrogant, but when she caught his gaze, it was sharp yet restrained, radiating a calm and wise light.
Hisss!
Li Tong was secretly astonished.
Lin Chuan, this web novel writer, where did his confidence come from?
Qin Yun also swallowed, involuntarily picking up his cup of tea to moisten his throat.
He had originally thought that coming to Hanjiang Anling was just to get to the bottom of some things and then take action based on the current clues and evidence.
Boy!
He didn’t expect Lin Chuan to talk about completely destroying Morgan and Baisheng, and to do it with such confidence!
Too crazy!
“Human effort is the deciding factor. Of course, we can do it. Morgan and Baisheng have been doing evil for a long time, they should disappear, don’t you think?” Lin Chuan said with a confident smile, then he turned to ask Shen Qianqian, “Officer Shen, wouldn’t you agree?”
Shen Qianqian grimaced slightly, somewhat confused, “Ah… yes, indeed!”
Li Tong and Qin Yun exchanged glances, both with complex expressions on their faces.
If anyone other than Lin Chuan had made such statements, having received personal phone calls from Elder Zhong of the Hanjiang police and careful attention from the Chief of Anling Police Station, Zhang Biao, they would have considered them whimsical and naive.
After a few seconds of silence,
Li Tong finally exhaled softly, “Comrade Lin Chuan, since you have this idea, we will report it truthfully. But as this is a matter of great importance, it’s not for Qin and me to decide.”
Lin Chuan nodded, “Just report it as it is.”
Immediately afterward, Qin Yun began to take notes.
After the exchange that had just occurred, Li Tong couldn’t help but grow curious about Lin Chuan.
She sized up Lin Chuan; a young man who was clearly twenty-five years old, yet he gave off a feeling of both the composure of an elder and youthful vigor.
It was a contradiction, and quite strange.
“Officer Li, you seem to have a question?” Lin Chuan noticed Li Tong’s gaze and smiled.
Li Tong smiled lightly, then said,
“Comrade Lin Chuan, I’ve glanced over some of your information, and I know you’ve achieved a lot in certain areas. Writing novels, you’re very skilled. However, combatting transnational crime requires a great deal of information to take action. It’s like solving a case; only by possessing concrete evidence can we proceed to arrest suspects. So, I’m curious to know where your confidence comes from?”
This seemingly casual conversation drew the attention of the other two, Shen Qianqian and Qin Yun, toward them.
Bright sunshine also spilled into the quiet little conference room.
A plethora of dust particles in the air became unusually visible in the shallow beams of sunlight. As a breeze blew gently through the window, the dust also began to stir.
Lin Chuan chuckled.
Then, he glanced at Li Tong without directly answering her question.
Instead, he asked, “Officer Li, you’ve been undercover before, right?”
As soon as this was said,
The few people in the room were taken aback.
Li Tong’s brows furrowed more tightly, and her pupils contracted, her heart stirring with waves of shock, “What leads you to that conclusion?”
Lin Chuan smiled, “If I’m not mistaken, you should have been undercover in the ‘addictive drugs’ industry, right?”
Li Tong’s forehead twitched, “Why would you say that?”
Lin Chuan continued, “Officer Li, if my suspicions are correct, you’ve just completed an undercover mission, and it was under the Baisheng Group’s ‘addictive drugs’ production chain, wasn’t it?”
A north wind blew into the room.
Li Tong felt a chill, her profound eyes incredibly staring at Lin Chuan, her heart in turmoil.
Lin Chuan’s successive questions left her speechless.
Because… he was entirely correct!
How did he figure it out?
The records of each INTERPOL officer, especially those of undercover missions, are kept in absolute secrecy within the organization.
Even internal staff weren’t aware of her specific activities, nor did they know she had been undercover.
How did Lin Chuan know?
Li Tong swallowed.
It was the first time she had been seen through, and she felt that Lin Chuan’s eyes had penetrative power, she couldn’t help but pick up her teacup and take a sip to cover her inner turbulence.
