Chapter 102 - Chapter 102: Chapter 101 How could you take such a risk? (2/2)

“I am Zhao Dong from the Lincang Criminal Police Brigade.”
“I am Chen Xi.”
In a mobile phone shop on the streets of Lincang, two police officers in uniform walked into the store, looked at Xia Qingqing, and greeted her.
“Hello, comrades. I am Officer Xia Qingqing from the Anling City Cyber Police Unit.”
Xia Qingqing quickly responded.
Immediately, both sides delved into discussing the case.
The Lincang Police also needed to understand more detailed information to help the rescue team execute the operation better.
“From what I’ve gathered, there are 15 of them, 13 men and 2 women, armed with iron rods and knives, no firearms, two trucks…” Xia Qingqing shared everything she knew with the two detectives from Lincang.
The two detectives quickly provided feedback.
Additionally, Lincang detective Zhao Dong asked, “Officer Xia, the two comrades who are en route to the rescue, are they both detectives?”
Xia Qingqing looked at the detective from Lincang and shook her head, “One of them is an anti-fraud police officer with criminal investigation experience, but the other is not a police officer; he is… a writer.”
Zhao Dong had a square face and stood about 180 cm tall.
Upon hearing Xia Qingqing’s words, his brow furrowed immediately, and he exchanged a glance with his colleague Chen Xi, then said, “An anti-fraud officer paired with a writer, that’s too dangerous!”
“Yes!”
The female detective Chen Xi immediately added her voice, “Comrade Xia, please contact them immediately and ask them to return. We do not wish for any of our comrades to fall!”
An anti-fraud officer with criminal investigation experience was capable of carrying out the mission.
But the other one…
A writer?
What help could a writer possibly be?
Logically speaking, indeed so.
Moreover, both Shen Qianqian and Lin Chuan were unarmed; how could they withstand two medium-sized trucks and 13 strong men?
It was too risky!
Lincang, a border town, was all too familiar with the fraud rings from the Myanmar area to the two detectives.
Locals were not involved in fraud.
However, outsiders could be deceived to come here for illegal border crossing.
And these fraud rings could be said to be utterly devoid of humanity, without a trace of emotion.
Shen Qianqian and Lin Chuan were headed there.
Even if Shen Qianqian identified herself as a police officer, the fraud ring was unlikely to believe her.
“They’re very determined, and I think they won’t engage in a direct confrontation. They just need to stall them until your Criminal Police Brigade arrives on the scene; that would be mission accomplished,” Xia Qingqing said, shaking her head.
Zhao Dong and Chen Xi exchanged a look, their expressions becoming solemn, “To stall them is easier said than done. These criminals only respect money, not life. It’s too reckless for that writer.”
“I have confidence in him,” Xia Qingqing pursed her lips, a sense of determination in her eyes.
For some reason,
she always felt like Lin Chuan had endless treasures within him that could never be fully explored.
Sometimes, she even had an illusion.
She would believe that the scenarios and techniques described in Lin Chuan’s novels could also be accomplished by him in reality.
It was an absurd notion.
But somehow, it seemed to happen in real life.
For instance, when AW conducted a large-scale hack, Lin Chuan was able to reproduce the ‘Flying Red Flag’ from the “Hacker Kingdom”.
It was absurd and yet felt so real.
This feeling was indescribable.
This was also why she believed Lin Chuan could hold off the fraud ring.
“Officer Xia, you in Anling City might not have witnessed the methods of the fraud rings from the Myanmar factories; they are extremely brutal. Once caught, at best, one becomes a tool for fraud, at worst, they are turned into actual ‘pigs’, sold from one factory to another until they are of no use anymore,” Zhao Dong sighed deeply, his expression turning grave as he spoke.
With a sigh,
Xia Qingqing pursed her lips, “Comrade Zhao, don’t worry about that. Writer Lin Chuan is quite knowledgeable about anti-fraud tactics and familiar with the factory areas. He wouldn’t undertake something he wasn’t sure about.”
Zhao Dong, still worried, noted the situation,
“I will report this to the higher-ups for now, and they will communicate with Anling Police Station. Hopefully, both the anti-fraud officer and the writer will know their limits. We, too, will do everything we can to reach the site as quickly as possible.”
“Alright.”
Xia Qingqing nodded and continued to monitor the movements of the fraud ring so she could keep Lin Chuan informed at any moment.
About five minutes later.
‘Ring, ring, ring—’
Xia Qingqing’s phone rang.
The caller display showed: Director Zhang.
“Hello, Director Zhang. Do you have any instructions?” Xia Qingqing answered the call and immediately asked.
On the other end of the phone,
Director Zhang Biao tried to calm his emotions, “Qingqing, first tell me, is it true that Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian went to intercept a fraud ring?”
“Yes,” Xia Qingqing replied.
Upon hearing the confirmation, Director Zhang Biao in his office gripped the phone, his hand trembling.
Comrade Lin,
how could you take such a risk?
You are a top-tier cybersecurity talent worth at least ten large-scale network security companies!
Someone personally protected by Elder Zhong!
If you fell into the hands of those fraudsters, it would be a significant loss for the entire Anling, even the whole Han River Province!
