Chapter 297 - Chapter 297: Chapter 209 Are You Refusing? (5000 Words Chapter)_2 (2/2)

Yu Keke blinked and said with a smile, “Since we’re friends, just like Xinxin, you can call me Keke.”

Lin Chuan laughed, “Then I’ll take the liberty.”

“That doesn’t seem like your style,” Yu Keke teased.

“Oh?”

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows with a smile and asked, “What is my style?”

“Xinxin says you’re cunningly mischievous,” Yu Keke smiled sweetly, teasing Lin Chuan using the Little Landlady’s words.

“That girl speaks ill of me behind my back,” Lin Chuan said with a forced laugh.

Yu Keke poured a cup of tea for Lin Chuan and took a sip herself before asking, “Why didn’t Xinxin come over tonight?”

“As for her, I’m not quite sure what she’s been up to lately; she seems to be quite mysterious,” Lin Chuan casually replied.

“Let’s meet up with her next time.”

Yu Keke said with a laugh, and then, changing the subject, she asked, “Writer Lin, I’ve spent the whole day studying ‘Black Ice’, and I’ve gained a lot from it.”

“‘Black Ice’ is just a novel for entertainment, meant for leisure reading, it doesn’t require study,” Lin Chuan smiled and said.

“No no no!”

Yu Keke rejected the idea thrice, with the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, “The information in it is really valuable for research. Those who don’t know might even think you’re a real drug lord.”

“How could that be?”

Lin Chuan quickly denied.

Yu Keke, with her radiant eyes, casually stroked a lock of hair by her ear and said with a smile, “Writer Lin, I sense from between the lines of ‘Black Ice’ your unique perspective and comprehensive understanding of ‘addictive drugs’. If you claim not to be a major drug trafficker, I doubt the overseas readers would believe it.”

Lin Chuan waved his hand, “A novel shouldn’t be taken as the truth.”

Yu Keke, testing the waters, inquired, “I’ve seen in the book review section of ‘Black Ice’, and on the ‘International Forum-Underworld’, that some special organizations have been extending you an olive branch, what do you think of that?”

“Those are all police from different countries fishing for criminals, and anyone who bites is a fool,” Lin Chuan said with a laugh, evasively.

“What if there were serious offers?” Yu Keke prodded further.

“Serious offers?”

Lin Chuan frowned and fell into thought.

Through his eavesdropping and investigation over the past couple of days, he naturally knew that Yu Keke was trying to recruit him.

The conversation they were having was full of pretense, a contest of acting skills.

Judging by Yu Keke’s manner, she seemed ready to lay her cards on the table.

“It’s just a hypothetical, friends can speak their minds,” Yu Keke said with a laugh.

Lin Chuan looked at the representative of the Morgan Group in Anling and smiled, “I’m just a web novel writer. With only a few novels to my name, how could those organizations be interested in me? Even if they were, I couldn’t join them. It’s too dangerous.”

“What if it wasn’t dangerous?” Yu Keke asked again.

“Those organizations are involved in violence and killing every day. How could it not be dangerous?” Lin Chuan countered.

“I’ve heard that many in those organizations are perfectly safe and can gain enormous wealth, power, status, women… for them, it’s like taking candy from a baby,” Yu Keke persuaded gently.

However, Lin Chuan shook his head, “I’m not interested in those things.”

“Writer Lin is not a common man,” Yu Keke remarked, mildly surprised, but swiftly changed tact and said, “Many things might not interest us, but we can’t be without them.”

“What do you mean?” Lin Chuan asked with interest.

Yu Keke beamed cleverly and quite naturally, with a casual tone, “Writer Lin, I’m no philosopher who can expound on these matters at length, I only know from experience that having these things means there’s nothing you can’t do.”
