Chapter 247: Chapter 182: Master Tomb Robber in Action! (5000-Word Chapter)
Time flew by, and another day had passed.
That day, at noon, the white ash clouds obscured the sunlight from the sun 150 million kilometers away. Below the clouds, Anling City looked somewhat gloomy with a threat of rain at any moment.
Lin Chuan, dressed in casual clothes, stepped onto the second floor of ‘Spring River Moon’ restaurant.
“Lin Chuan, over here.”
By the window, Shen Qianqian raised her fair, lotus-like arm, waving to Lin Chuan.
Shen Qianqian was wearing a light white dress, revealing a small section of her fair lower legs, and her sweet, delicate face was adorned with a soft smile. Her clear eyes couldn’t help but brighten when she saw Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan, smiling, walked over at a leisurely pace and sat opposite Shen Qianqian. Seeing only her by herself, he asked, “Where’s the person treating us?”
Today, Qin Sisi had flown back to Anling from Linyi and had arranged to treat Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian to lunch.
Shen Qianqian poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Lin Chuan, smiling, “She and her archaeological team just got off the plane not long ago, they’re still on the way. Let’s order first; she will be here soon.”
“Okay.”
Lin Chuan sipped his tea and nodded.
“You seem to have something you want to discuss with Sisi?” Shen Qianqian looked at Lin Chuan, attempting to read something on his face.
Lin Chuan was taken aback, a bit surprised, “You can tell?”
Shen Qianqian’s lips curled up slightly, she smiled lightly while scanning the menu on her phone and said, “Others might not notice, but I’ve read all of your autobiographies; how could I not tell?”
Lin Chuan grinned, “Well, you can’t just talk nonsense about that.”
“Take a look and see what else you want to order.” Shen Qianqian placed her phone in front of Lin Chuan, prompting him to choose dishes, “Your ‘Touch Gold Notes’ Volume Three, Yin Mountain Ancient Tower, was just released this morning; I’ve already read part of it.”
Lin Chuan took the phone to order, joking, “Always following my novels, I think you’re after performance now.”
Shen Qianqian felt a mix of annoyance and amusement, “I have too many achievements now, I even suspect I could get promoted to Police Inspector this year.”
“That soon?” Lin Chuan asked in surprise, “Aren’t you currently a first-grade officer?”
Shen Qianqian nodded, “Right.”
“Isn’t there a required service period for an officer to be promoted to an inspector?” Lin Chuan asked.
Shen Qianqian blinked, laughing, “There’s a supplementary clause in the police rank regulations that allows for early promotion in case of outstanding performance in work.”
“After you’re promoted to inspector, there will be a gap between us,” Lin Chuan teased.
“What kind of gap?”
Shen Qianqian chided Lin Chuan with a sentence.
Lin Chuan laughed heartily, “I’m just a humble web novel writer, a flop of a writer.”
Shen Qianqian chuckled, not without irritation, “Most of these achievements are yours, accredited to me. If you became a criminal police officer, you would occupy a squadron chief’s position in less than five years, guaranteed to be at least a first-grade inspector, possibly a deputy director level.”
During this time,
She had been keeping count, especially during the May Day holiday when Lin Chuan, accompanied by her and Xia Qingqing, directly arrested a fifteen-member fraud gang.
Although she and Xia Qingqing were just following Lin Chuan’s arrangements and commands, being part of the operation meant sharing in the credit. Lin Chuan alone wouldn’t have been able to capture the criminal gang.
