Chapter 484: Chapter 300 Too Many Enemies
The winter morning had its own charm.
A tender orange tint painted the sparse clouds across the sky; the first light of dawn sprinkled down, blending with the delicate scent of dew in the air, fresh and natural. Mist hovered over the river surface, creating layers of delicate ripples. Occasionally, the clear chirping of birds mingled with the noise of the New Year celebration.
The successive failures of Yu Qin and Croney had silenced the various forces tacitly.
Even the confident team from Baisheng Group had to now reconsider Lin Chuan’s capabilities.
Big Tiger had considered the possibility of Croney failing.
But he would never have imagined Croney being captured by Lin Chuan, rendering him utterly defenseless.
Under his multimillion bounty, Croney was an ace among the employed assassins—a flat pebble tossed onto the Han River in Anling, creating a splash and nothing more.
In Morgan Group, Lucas was now the sole backbone in the Southeast Asia region.
The two sisters from Yu Clan had both been compromised in Anling.
Lucas, alone and overloaded, could hardly manage the strenuous workload anymore, having no leisure as before, he had to push himself out of the wheelchair despite his knee injuries.
What about AW?
It seemed like they had withdrawn.
With Karl captured, they couldn’t find a Hacker to match Lin Chuan.
The three forces each had their calculations, oddly calm.
It was supposed to be a peaceful New Year’s holiday.
But Lin Chuan wasn’t idle.
His enemies not striking didn’t mean they wouldn’t in the future.
Thus, instead of enjoying the New Year’s holiday in relaxation, Lin Chuan started to get busy.
Yes.
Represented by Elder Zhong, the Han River police had contacted INTERPOL, Zhao Haiping.
Zhao Haiping took it very seriously and dispatched two capable officers to return to Anling to join Anling Police and Lin Chuan to investigate the case comprehensively.
“Chairman, INTERPOL has arrived,”
On his way out,
Zhang Xinxin meticulously adjusted his suit and, looking up with a slight worry, said,
“The more police forces involved in a case, and the broader the scope, the more it speaks to the seriousness of the situation.”
Lin Chuan ruffled her hair, comforting her, “Don’t worry, this time, it’s me who wants to cooperate with INTERPOL. You know I prefer to be passive, but I can take the initiative too.”
Little Landlady blushed, “What passive and active? At this time, and you still talk nonsense.”
“I’m going to take the initiative this time.”
Lin Chuan winked, pinching Little Landlady’s cheek playfully.
In winter, her delicate face wasn’t roughened by the cold; it remained soft, carrying a gentle warmth.
Little Landlady caught Lin Chuan’s hand, rubbing her cheek against it a few times, “Safety first, that Croney assassin really scared me.”
Lin Chuan thought for a moment, then whispered closely to Little Landlady’s ear, “Let me tell you a secret, I am actually the top assassin in the world. So, any assassin that comes my way is just delivering themselves.”
Little Landlady paused, “Chairman, you’re bragging again!”
“I’m serious!” Lin Chuan said earnestly.
Little Landlady scoffed at Lin Chuan, smiling, “Then tell me, what missions have you carried out? Who have you hunted?”
Lin Chuan touched his nose, embarrassed, “I haven’t actually taken any jobs yet.”
Little Landlady laughed, “Alright, you should get going, don’t keep Sister Qianqian and the two officers waiting.”
“Alright, wait for me to come home.”
Lin Chuan pinched the Little Landlady’s cheek again, walked out of the house cheerfully.
Shortly after descending the stairs,
Shen Qianqian’s car arrived.
“You’re practically my personal driver now,” Lin Chuan jested as he settled into the passenger seat.
Shen Qianqian responded helplessly, “Well, it’s because the cases involving you are enormously troubling.”
It was hard to imagine how a web novel writer could be entangled in giant cases, each pointing to colossal entities within the Dark World, frightening enough to scare anyone to death.
“These are just minor issues.”
Lin Chuan’s face was relaxed as he spoke, making facing giants such as Morgan, Baisheng, and AW seem like mundane trifles.
Dressed in her police uniform, Shen Qianqian’s clean, pretty face turned towards Lin Chuan, studying him for a good while.
“What are you looking at?”
Lin Chuan smiled.
Shen Qianqian chuckled softly, “Just seeing how far your bragging will fly.”
In her eyes, this was typical of Lin Chuan.
Even emergent, extremely dangerous matters sounded reassuring when he articulated them, due to his comforting strength.
Shen Qianqian knew it was his confidence.
But to those unfamiliar with him, it might seem like arrogance.
“Problems slowing down brings solutions, people slowing down brings peace, and that’s not bragging,” Lin Chuan spoke casually, with a smile.
Shen Qianqian glanced askance at Lin Chuan, “Why do you sound so old-fashioned?”
“Last year was 2024, now it’s 2025, I’ve aged a year, so my speech has to reflect my age,” Lin Chuan joked.
Shen Qianqian rolled her eyes at Lin Chuan, at a loss for words, then pressed the accelerator, took hold of the steering wheel, and drove towards the police station.
The winter sun was bright, but the wind still carried a chilling bleakness.
The fierce howling of the wind sounded outside the window.
The noise of the tires rubbing against the ground echoed inside the car.
While driving, Shen Qianqian brought up the important matter, “Comrade Lin Chuan, this time, the International Police have sent two officers, Li Tong and Qin Yun, both elite.”
Lin Chuan nodded, “Understood.”
