Chapter 244: Chapter 180: They Wouldn’t Really Come Over in a Tank, Would They? (Please Subscribe)_2
Actually,
as early as when Lin Chuan was investigating the Old Street Factory District, he had already become aware of the existence of Baisheng Group.
Baisheng Group, a Myanmar area enterprise.
It ostensibly operated in entertainment tourism, hotel malls, real estate development, gold and jewelry, and other projects, but behind the scenes, it operated casinos, managed online gaming, controlled several factory districts, and engaged in telecommunications fraud.
Its grey and black industries didn’t end there.
As the saying goes, pornography, gambling, and drugs are inseparable.
Baisheng Group was no exception.
It was a colossal entity in Southeast Asia, backed by armed forces and closely linked to local warlords, with deep and entrenched roots.
However, Lin Chuan was determined to take down the Old Street Factory District. Why would he fear its strength?
Just do it!
“You should still be careful with this group,” Shen Qianqian cautioned, “If you think you need 24-hour protection, you can contact me at any time. I can arrange it for you; this is authorized by the chief.”
“I can’t always be asking for protection, can I?” Lin Chuan took a sip of water and chuckled.
“But once they move, it’ll be hard for us to rescue you in time,” Shen Qianqian thought of the last time the Old Street Factory District had made a move on Lin Chuan and felt a pang of worry in her heart.
As the person involved, Lin Chuan reassured Shen Qianqian and joked, “They’re not going to come at me in a tank, are they?”
Pfft—
Shen Qianqian was amused by Lin Chuan’s exaggeration: “That’s unlikely, but if it really got to that level, you would actually be safe.”
“Then I have even less to worry about,” Lin Chuan said, his face slightly relaxed.
“I mean, just in case!”
Shen Qianqian pouted slightly, earnestly trying to keep Lin Chuan alert.
“Just in case?”
Lin Chuan looked astonished, then after pondering for a moment, he said, “Then it’s self-defense!!!”
Shen Qianqian’s face turned a shade of green and she muttered, “The term ‘self-defense’ sounds so strange coming from you.”
“Isn’t it self-defense?”
Lin Chuan retorted.
“Eh, it is,” Shen Qianqian pouted.
“That’s right then.”
Lin Chuan laughed, then took another drink of water and turned to Shen Qianqian, saying with a smile, “I should head back now, thank you, Officer Shen.”
“What are you thanking me for?” Shen Qianqian smiled.
“For the Seven Stars Lu King Palace murder case. If you hadn’t clarified things for me, I’d have had to spend quite some effort explaining it to Officer He,” Lin Chuan said sincerely.
“No big deal, you directly found the whereabouts of the Ghost Seal and the suspect information,” Shen Qianqian smiled.
“Could I not investigate?”
Lin Chuan looked helpless, “If the case became a mystery, and then the media disclosed it, all the fingers would be pointing at me, and just the public opinion would drown me.”
Unscrupulous media often don’t care about the truth of the incident.
They only aim for traffic, to create hot topics.
And public opinion can often be terrifying.
By then, headlines like ‘Famous crime-themed novelist Mr. Lin suspected of tomb robbing, killing two accomplices, and hoarding treasure’ would be everywhere, sweeping the internet.
Then, the rumor of Lin Chuan’s grave digging and intentional homicide would be ‘confirmed’ in the court of public opinion.
Lin Chuan, ever cautious and thoughtful, had considered this.
So, when he saw that He Zhi and the Linyi police had not found the whereabouts of the Ghost Seal, he directly stepped in to help and cracked the case at lightning speed.
Better to get the reward for solving the case than be cursed at.
“Speaking of which, Sisi read your novel and was worried for several days, but she didn’t dare ask you,” Shen Qianqian recalled Qin Sisi.
“That’s just mental wear and tear; you should talk to her about it,” Lin Chuan chuckled.
“You should be the one to tell her, she’s returning to Anling in a couple of days,” Shen Qianqian said with a light-hearted air.
Now that the ‘misunderstanding’ between Qin Sisi and Lin Chuan had been cleared up, she, the middleman, felt a weight off her shoulders.
Lin Chuan frowned slightly and puzzled, “Wasn’t Qin Sisi only recently recruited by the National Archaeological Team? She’s coming back to Anling so soon?”
“Why can’t she come back to Anling for archaeology?”
Shen Qianqian teased with a smile, “Apparently, Sisi said that an archaeological team has found a thousand-year-old Great Tomb urgently needing professionals. Sisi’s team just finished their own excavation and decided to lend a hand.”
“I see. Well, then, when she invites me to dinner, I’ll talk to her about it, cut down on the mental strain,” Lin Chuan laughed.
“How do you know she’s going to invite you to dinner?”
