Chapter 50 - Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Lin Chuan, I’m worried you might run away (2/2)

Forget it, forget it.

All this complex social philosophy isn’t something I can wrap my head around, better to establish a bond between author and editor with Lin Chuan first.

After giving it some thought, Youyou decided to make a phone call to check in on this treasure of an author.

Dudu dudu.

…

In Anling City, in the Happiness Community of the eastern city.

Early in the morning, under a slightly overcast sky, a chill wind carried a coolness that seeped into the aged neighborhood and slipped into Lin Chuan’s rental home.

Lin Chuan had gotten up early.

Because yesterday he had promised Captain Hu Daqiang and Shen Qianqian from the criminal investigation squad that he’d help examine the crime scenes of two additional homicide cases.

Now.

Having showered, he was dressed in a black long-sleeved T-shirt and a white casual shirt, with navy-blue sweatpants below, his tall, slender figure and his handsome, clean-cut features exuding a clean and sunny disposition, as he waited for Hu Daqiang and Shen Qianqian to come and pick him up.

Dudu dudu.

His phone rang.

Lin Chuan glanced at it, an unfamiliar number from Modu, and pressed the answer button, “Hello, who is this?”

From the phone came a voice soft and gauzy like a whisper, “Is this Lin Chuan? I’m your editor, Youyou.”

Editor Youyou?

Lin Chuan was startled and somewhat flattered, “Youyou?”

Although Lin Chuan had been writing under Youyou’s management for many years, their interactions had always been through messaging apps, and a direct phone call like this had never happened before—it was like a maiden crossing a flower-covered bridge for the first time.

“Yes, it’s me. Are you busy?”

Youyou’s voice was delicate, like a soft breeze whispering in the ear.

“Not busy yet, I’m about to go check out a case. Youyou, is there something you wanted to talk about?” Lin Chuan said.

Check out a case?

On the other end of the line, Youyou’s heart skipped a beat, and she bit her lip slightly, “Nothing much, I just wanted to ask if you’ve encountered any bottlenecks in your writing recently, or if there’s anything troubling you in life that’s affecting your creativity.”

Lin Chuan was taken aback again, “Youyou, has editing now expanded its services to include ‘caring for writers’?”

Youyou smiled and explained, “Not really, but you’ve been updating two books in a row recently, so I thought you must be under a lot of pressure.”

Pressure?

With a cheat enabled, there wasn’t much pressure in writing.

The only pressure was the fear that after publishing his books, Lin Chuan always worried that police officers, represented by Shen Qianqian, would take him away.

Main reason: The professions he experienced were too criminal.

And now.

Just as day was about to break, Lin Chuan was woken up by a notification from the Career Life Experience System.

His “This Assassin Is Too Professional” had reached a Popularity Value of 3000, enabling him to begin his next professional life experience.

At that moment, Lin Chuan checked the time.

5:27.

Lin Chuan thought this timing wasn’t right, as it was likely to cause disturbances.

Moreover.

Given the system’s nature, it was probably another career from the pure prison series.

Doing those bad deeds during the day – that’s a little psychologically stressful!

Lin Chuan’s thoughts returned to the conversation with Youyou, “I don’t have any pressure for the time being.”

“That’s good to hear. How about your health?” Youyou asked with concern.

Mr. Lin showed a puzzled look, “I’m in great shape, Youyou. You’ve been acting strange today, are you sure there’s nothing you want to talk to me about?”

Youyou was acting strangely today.

Her words were filled with concern for Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan could clearly sense it.

Youyou pursed her lips, her voice somewhat low, “Lin Chuan, I’m worried you’ll run away.”
