Chapter 437 - Chapter 437: Chapter 275: The Fish Took the Bait! (2/2)
The details page for “Ace Agent” was ready, with the badge for ten thousand subscriptions and achieving the milestone of three hundred thousand collections, earning three stars of honor.
He thought for a moment, then still decided to open the book review section.
[Mr. Lin, you haven’t let me down!]
[Fellas, if you want to be agents, leave your contact info, I have connections, it’s definitely not a fraud, and if it is, I curse myself to become a despised Tall Rich Handsome!]
[Aren’t we brothers? Has no one @ed the Cyber Police?]
[I’m late but here, I didn’t @ Cyber Police, but look who I did @? @Security Bureau/doghead.jpg]
[Wolf’s doom, you dare to @ Security Bureau, let’s investigate you thoroughly first!]
[I’ve seen the first phase of the plot, Mr. Lin, this move is too skilled, right?]
[It’s clear at a glance that he’s a repeat offender!]
[I might go to work as a patrol security guard to help Zhou Yun’s daughter in that segment, but I don’t think it feels like an agent, it feels more like a human trafficker!]
[Hiss! Am I the only one seriously studying the strategies to charm wealthy women?]

Lin Chuan’s hanging heart finally died.
These readers were still the same old ways, absolutely void of any hope. The entire comment section didn’t have a single word of praise for Lin Chuan’s writing style, or clever plot.
Uniformly ‘bad reviews’!
“Alas…”
“It’s a feature, a feature.”
“First day with forty-two thousand average subscriptions, that’s already great. What’s a bit of criticism?”
Lin Chuan glanced through the comments and consoled himself.
Then, he finished breakfast.
Suddenly, a special message popped up on his phone, looking like encrypted code.
After seeing the message, Lin Chuan’s earlier bad mood from reading the comments vanished completely, like smoke blown away by the wind. The mood shifted from gloom to clarity, much like the azure sky, bright and open.
This message came from Southeast Asia.
To be precise, it was sent by Hao from Mars Novels, and after decoding it meant “the fish took the bait.”
Ever since his last meeting with Lin Chuan, influenced by Lin Chuan and after listening to Lin Chuan’s clear explanation of pros and cons, Hao’s resolve crumbled in tears, and he ‘resolutely’ became a subordinate under Lin Chuan’s wing, ‘willingly’ handling matters for Lin Chuan.
Although Brother Hao and Hou hadn’t done many significant things.
But after deliberating, they could not withstand the consequences of not joining forces with Lin Chuan, and they couldn’t refuse the benefits of cooperating with him.
After discussing it, they gritted their teeth and became the agents code-named ‘Pangolin A’ and ‘Pangolin B’.
Just as Lin Chuan had anticipated.
Upon the release of “Ace Agent,” Yu Qin and Lucas indeed took notice of Mars Novels, and they traced the connection to the Little Landlady and Mars Novels. They even guessed that Yu Qin might very well use Brother Hao and Hou to put a plan in motion.
Thus, Lin Chuan took proactive steps, firmly keeping the initiative in his own hands.
Lin Chuan hadn’t guessed wrong; Yu Qin and Lucas moved step by step in the direction he had expected — they recruited Hao and Hou.
Lin Chuan pondered for a moment and replied to Pangolin A, Hao, “What kind of bait did the fish bite? (What does Yu Qin and Lucas want to do?)”
Soon, Pangolin A, Hao replied, “Caught eels dug up from the ground; the fish ate them with relish.”
