Chapter 108 - Chapter 108: Chapter 106 A Common Web Novel Writer (Please Subscribe) (2/2)
Immediately.
Pan Sheng smiled to himself, shook his head, and said, “Our Lincang Police Station, I’m afraid, cannot accommodate such a big Buddha.”
He knew that the command to mobilize the Criminal Police Brigade to rescue Lin Chuan was directly issued from the Yundian Provincial Department.
A normal web novel writer having the provincial department stirred up?
Clearly impossible!
So, Pan Sheng quickly discarded the somewhat childish idea.
After restoring the facts of the case, Pan Sheng immediately reported upward and arranged for the publicity department to tout this case as a model of police and public solving a case together.
On the other side.
In the office of Han River Province, Zhong Chengming received the files from the Yundian Provincial Department and read them very carefully.
A few minutes later.
Zhong Chengming, wearing an administrative jacket, burst out laughing heartily, the wrinkles around his eyes clearly visible.
“Comrade Lin is indeed a talent!”
“With just a toy gun between two people, daring to confront a crime gang of 15 people, they have even more guts than I did in my days!”
“Not bad at all.”
Zhong Chengming looked at the file in his hands, nodding continuously, with a clear admiration for talent.
Then, he glanced at a group photo on the desk.
That was a photo of him and his son.
Zhong Chengming sighed, “If only you had half the ability of Lin Chuan, you would be considered to have inherited half of my skills; but unfortunately, instead of being a good cop, you went off to do archaeology.”
…
The night in Lincang was tranquil and beautiful.
A few stars hung in the night sky, moonlight spilled on the ground, creating a world of silvery white. The street lamps, emitting a warm yellow light, illuminated the main thoroughfares bustling with traffic.
After finishing their statements, Old Bai got his phone back, reported his safety to his family, and then insisted on treating Lin Chuan, Shen Qianqian, and Xia Qingqing to a meal.
The three of them readily agreed.
Over the meal, Lin Chuan and Old Bai grew much closer.
Old Bai kept calling him ‘brother,’ admiring Lin Chuan from the bottom of his heart.
Yes, admiration!
From the moment Lin Chuan showed up on that rural road, Bai Yang had decided that Lin Chuan was his ‘brother.’
So much so, that when he returned to his hotel room, the first thing he did was open his phone and send two Alliance Hierarch rewards to Lin Chuan’s new book to boost its popularity.
The second thing was to open Lin Chuan’s reader group.
“Brothers, I almost got tricked into the factory area!” Old Bai sent a message.
As an active member of the group who often gave out red packets, many readers remembered him.
[Old Bai, what’s wrong with you?]
[Almost tricked into the factory area, were you scammed?]
[Weren’t you going to meet your online love? How did you almost get tricked into the factory area?]
[Right, you even posted a selfie bragging yesterday!]
[…]
Old Bai, half-reclining on the hotel window with a white blanket over him, typed rapidly on his phone’s screen:
“Mr. Lin was right, online dating is risky. That little witch was a fraudster; she lured me to a secluded place, then some big guys pinned me down, took my phone, gagged me, and dragged me straight into a car.”
[Old Bai, is that true or are you making up stories for a novel?]
[I don’t believe it; if you were really caught, you’d be in the factory area by now!]
[Right, the factory area is so terrifying, how could you possibly have escaped?]
[The author also said, the factory area is hell, a gathering place of demons!]
[Too fake!]
[…]
The friends in the reader group raised their doubts one after another.
“I knew you wouldn’t believe me, but look what this is?” Old Bai replied at once and sent two photos.
One was a photo of him at the Lincang Police Station.
The other was a case filing notification from the Lincang Police Station.
Those two images immediately caused a sensation in the group.
Being a spectator is a natural human instinct.
[My goodness, you’re serious?]
[Case filing notification is here!]
[Lincang, isn’t that a small border city in Yundian Province?]
[Old Bai, your ancestors must be producing green smoke; to think you escaped from the hands of a fraud gang!]
[…]
The group was especially active at night.
Group friends discussed back and forth.
Old Bai continued, “I thought for sure I was a goner, but then I met my ‘actual brother’ – you guys will never guess who! It was my brother who rescued me!”
[Don’t tell me it’s the suspect Mr. Lin!]
[Hey, wasn’t Mr. Lin at Yundian University a few days ago?]
[I remember, he seems to have gone to Lincang today, Old Bai, was it Mr. Lin who saved you?]
Old Bai wanted to keep them hanging, but these guys guessed the answer right away: “You’re so smart, I didn’t think you’d figure it out.”
[Old Bai, that’s a bit far-fetched!]
[How could Mr. Lin save you from the fraud gang?]
[Are you in cahoots with the suspect Mr. Lin?]
[Lin Chuan himself just escaped from the factory area, how could he save you as well?]
[…]
“I knew you wouldn’t believe it, take a look at this video,” said Old Bai, and he immediately forwarded a video just released by the Lincang Police to the group.
