Chapter 295: Chapter 208: Writer Lin, Sorry, I Have to Use Force! (Please Subscribe)
The night was like ink, the sky covered by thick clouds, with only the occasional starlight peeking through the gaps, casting a feeble and mottled play of light and shadow upon the tops of trees swaying in the wind.
In the deep of night, Anling City was very quiet.
The silent air made people feel a trace of unease. Occasionally, one or two dark figures would dart across the streets, startling pedestrians into a sudden tremor, who after realizing they were just stray cats, would swear under their breath and hurry away.
Inside the police station.
From morning till night, Lin Chuan, Xinxin and the Anling Police were engaged in a silent yet tense investigation.
Departments such as the Cyber Security Detachment, the Criminal Investigation Detachment, and the Drug Enforcement Team had all allocated substantial manpower, pulling out communication and transaction records from recent years of Anzhou Pharmaceutical and Huarun Company, conducting a detailed check.
Moreover, the Anling Police were in close contact with Interpol, expanding the search range.
“Comrade Lin Chuan, you’ve worked hard,” said Zhang Biao, personally carrying late-night snacks to the case investigation area, placing them in front of Lin Chuan.
Behind him were the logistics personnel of the police force, carrying late-night snacks.
Upon seeing Director Zhang Biao arrive personally, Lin Chuan got up and smiled, “Thank you for your concern, Director Zhang. I can manage, but these police comrades have had it tough.”
His words carried no intention of belittling the police comrades.
In the virtual world, Lin Chuan had experienced various high-intensity tasks, and moreover, when it came to investigating cases, especially those relating to network information, he had strong technical skills and found the work to be easy.
For younger police comrades like Shen Qianqian and Xia Qingqing, it was their first time dealing with such a large-scale cross-national crime case, and many aspects of the investigation were fraught with difficulties.
“They are all good comrades,” Director Zhang Biao said with satisfaction as he looked at these familiar faces, then, he patted Lin Chuan’s shoulder, “Sit down first, fill your stomach. I’ll also take this opportunity to understand the details of the case.”
As he spoke, he had already personally opened the food he brought over and placed it in front of Lin Chuan.
It was a carefully cooked pot of meat porridge, steamed pork ribs, and stir-fried choy sum.
Lin Chuan didn’t stand on ceremony.
Indeed, the high-intensity work had made him somewhat hungry.
“Lin, this case is being taken very seriously by our station and the provincial headquarters. Elder Zhong even called me just now to get an update on the situation,” said Zhang Biao in a warm voice, forgoing his usual authority, his tone congenial.
Lin Chuan thought for a moment and replied, “Director Zhang, we are currently focusing our investigation on Anzhou Pharmaceutical and Huarun Company, confirming that these two companies are under the foreign Morgan Group. Anzhou Pharmaceutical is responsible for the manufacturing of ‘new types of addictive drugs,’ with Huarun Company managing the transportation channels. Moreover, several relational chains are involved…”
Lin Chuan reported the results of the day’s investigation to Director Zhang Biao one by one.
Zhang Biao’s brow furrowed tighter the more he listened, growing increasingly indignant, “I never expected the Morgan Group to have laid out their plans here for so long.”
Lin Chuan nodded, “Tomorrow night, Huarun Company will use a special channel to transport a batch of ‘addictive drugs’ out of the country, handing them over to overseas personnel of Morgan Company.”
“Out of the country tomorrow night…”
Listening, Zhang Biao’s brow knitted together, “Lin, what are your thoughts?”
Lin Chuan pondered for a moment before looking towards Zhang Biao and saying, “Director Zhang, tomorrow night, we catch them all in one swoop!”
“Hmm?”
Zhang Biao fell into thought and then said, “You mean to say, wait until all the fish on this line have surfaced and then move swiftly to strike them with thunderous force?”
Lin Chuan nodded, “Right!”
Zhang Biao, with his rich experience, swiftly made a judgment on the case. Acting tomorrow night was indeed the best opportunity.
Hence, he nodded in agreement, “I’ll immediately consult with the provincial headquarters and contact Interpol. We’ll plan comprehensively!”
Zhang Biao’s voice was robust, conveying a convincing assurance.
Lin Chuan smiled.
With the aid of top-level hacker techniques and his keen judgment on the case, coupled with the police force’s deployment, he had almost completed the investigation on the ‘addictive drugs’ production line of Anzhou Pharmaceutical and Huarun Company that day.
By tomorrow morning, I should be able to wrap things up.
Tomorrow night, we’ll be ready for full-blown action.
Currently, Yu Keke and Liu Meng haven’t realized what’s happening. Striking decisively is the best choice.
The night was silent and still.
Anling City settled into silence, soundless and tranquil, as if brewing a storm.
Yes, an operation against the international crime syndicate, the colossal “Morgan Group,” was being quietly arranged.
The next day.
From nightfall to dawn.
On the surface, everything seemed normal.
But beneath the surface, the currents were raging.
The first light of dawn rose, shining on the river in Anling, with Lin Chuan’s window glass reflecting specks of silver.
What appeared to be another ordinary day was filled with messages on Lin Chuan’s phone.
At eight in the morning.
Editor Youyou sent Lin Chuan a message, “Wow, ‘Hacker Kingdom’ and ‘Black Ice’ are exploding in popularity overseas!”
Lin Chuan was busy yesterday investigating Anzhou Pharmaceutical and Huarun Company, so he didn’t pay much attention to the performance of ‘Hacker Kingdom’ and ‘Black Ice’.
[Title: “Black Ice”.]
[Current status: Published.]
[Current Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 41939/50000.]
[Assessment Task: Manufacture 95% pure addictive drugs (completed).]
“OMG!”
Lin Chuan looked at the system panel in his mind.
The Average Subscription for ‘Black Ice’ had almost reached forty-two thousand, only eight thousand short of fifty thousand.
Meaning, he might reach the target tonight!
—A new career experience was beckoning Lin Chuan.
The morning light spilled onto the balcony, and a radiant smile appeared on Lin Chuan’s face.
Besides the system’s career unlock requirements, a significant increase in Average Subscription represented not only money but also indicated that the novel was highly competitive overseas.
‘Mr. Lin’s’ influence was also growing.
This was a great primer for his next novel.
It was as if Lin Chuan had opened channels overseas with the help of his two novels, ‘Hacker Kingdom’ and ‘Black Ice’.
Considering the system’s nature, the next career could also be related to prison work.
Lin Chuan thought it over. Publishing novels overseas didn’t have as many restrictions as in his home country. Of course, if he managed both domestic and overseas markets, even a requirement of one hundred thousand Average Subscriptions from the system wasn’t impossible to achieve.
It seems that taking on the Morgan Group could bring many benefits.
Therefore, Lin Chuan replied to Youyou, “It looks like the next one has some security, too.”
“Of course, there’s security. You are now the face of Sailing Novel overseas. Manager Chu from the operations department plans to fully develop your IP there!”
In the Sailing Building, Youyou’s face was beaming with joy.
“How will you develop the IP?”
Lin Chuan curiously asked.
