Chapter 58 - Chapter 58: Chapter 58: You Call a Criminal Record a New Book? (2/2)

“This group is bound to be ruined by this bunch of talents, no, it’s already been ruined,” Lin Chuan said helplessly, his mouth twisting into a wry smile as he muttered to himself.

But what could he do about it?

Well, let it be.

After reviewing the image, Lin Chuan tagged all members and sent a message, “Brothers, stop what you’re doing, my new book has been released!”

The readers in the group, being the true fans they are, were more excited to see Lin Chuan bubble up than seeing racy images.

‘@Mr. Lin, the author, how did you know I was up to something with my hands?’

‘Mr. Lin, are you out of the jail already?’

‘The suspect has appeared, are the bounty hunters in position?’

‘Damn! Mr. Lin, you’ve written a new book while squatting in jail, shocking me for a century!’

‘Mr. Lin, I just finished ‘This Assassin Is Too Professional’, and I’m itching to slash a few groups for a try, what should I do?’

‘Everyone be serious, author, please share your experiences in jail so that the group members can be mentally prepared.’

Uh.

With one hand on his forehead, Lin Chuan used another finger to painstakingly type on the keyboard, “Brothers, doesn’t anyone care about my new book?”

‘New book? Mr. Lin, are you sure what you wrote qualifies as a new book?’ one of the readers replied to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan was completely baffled, “If it’s not a new book, what is it then?”

Immediately, a large number of readers in the group offered explanations.

‘You call a criminal record a new book?’

‘Suspected autobiography leak, everyone be alert!’

‘Your new book, my achievements!’

Lin Chuan’s mouth twitched slightly, “I hereby solemnly declare, all content in novels under the author’s name is purely fictional, absolutely not the author’s real experiences, do not believe nor spread rumors.”

‘I understand the rules of the Martial World /evil smile.jpg.’

‘/evil smile.jpg.’

‘+1’

‘+1’

‘Cut the jokes, author, go on, what kind of criminal record is it?’

‘After ‘This Assassin Is Too Professional’, I was too chicken to learn the tricks, but this time, I must pick up some skills.’

‘Go ahead and learn, once you’re in prison, you could also pick up sewing machine skills, umbrella manufacturing, and even get an early look at the college entrance examination questions.’

‘Study with no worries, it’s definitely criminal grade!’

The group was buzzing with comments,

knowing that he was no match, Lin Chuan’s attempt to clear his name ended in failure once again.

Without further ado, he activated a one-minute mute for all members and posted the book link.

‘My new book “Hacker Kingdom” has been released!’

‘Who says only those standing in the light can be heroes!’

…

In Anling City, Qingxiu District.

A young man with a buzz cut, wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, with a backpack slung over his shoulders, sat despondently next to the flowerbed under the building of Jintang Network Security Company.

His name was Li Qing.

A few days ago, he passed Jintang Network Security Company’s written exam, and today, he came for the interview at Jintang.

However,

Just moments ago, the interviewer didn’t even offer him the token ‘we will consider it’ or ‘wait for the results at home’ usually extended, bluntly stating that his interview was unsuccessful.

“Sigh…”

Li Qing’s mouth drooped slightly as he let out a sigh.

The overall environment was bleak, jobs were hard to come by, and many companies were laying off employees, making it even harder to enter big firms.

But what could an ordinary person do in the face of all this?

Nothing more than to watch videos, read novels, look at a couple of pleasing images for temporary joy.

Then, continue struggling.

Li Qing was doing precisely that now.

After distributing his résumé to a few other companies, he listlessly scrolled through pages on QQ, WeChat, Kuaishou, and other platforms.

Somehow,

He clicked on a reader group he’d joined a few days ago.

The group’s name: Obey the Law, It’s Everyone’s Responsibility.

Messages: 99+

Li Qing let out a snort of laughter.

He had joined this reader group a few days earlier.

He remembered that the author of this group had helped the police solve a few major cases not long ago, even trending on Kuaishou for a day.

Li Qing smiled, then tapped into the group.
