Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Picking an Auspicious Day to Avoid Misfortune
Lin Chuan looked at messages in the reader group like “crime suspect,” “turn oneself in,” “confess,” “be lenient,” and other such phrases.
Dumbfounded!
He leaned back in his chair, his shoulders shaking, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly as frustration turned to laughter.
After two seconds, Lin Chuan finally typed out a line.
“My book hasn’t even been released yet, is this really appropriate?”
One of the readers asked a tricky question: Mr. Lin, can you swear on your manuscript fee that you’re not a professional assassin?
Lin Chuan’s fingers stiffened on the keyboard.
Manuscript fee, the lifeline of a writer!
In the online writing circle, when verbal arguments fail to settle a dispute, someone would suggest a solution: Show off your manuscript fee!
No matter how eloquently one argues, without a manuscript fee, everything is treated as pure bluff.
Because aside from the top echelon, the only standard by which online writers are judged is the manuscript fee!
Lin Chuan dodged the question: “I solemnly declare that I am a professional writer, and I’ve never engaged in any illegal activities!”
[Ah, right, right, right, I believe the words of the crime suspect Mr. Lin!]
[It makes sense for Mr. Lin, a Gambling King, to have taken out a few people, right?]
[I’ve found the secret to making a fortune!]
[Brother, do tell, let’s make money together.]
[Mr. Lin must have some cases on him, wait for him to be on the wanted list, then there’ll be bounty money, right?]
[Brother, you’re fierce, Bounty Hunter!]
[When your new book comes out, I’m going to subscribe to the entire series and ferociously look for your criminal evidence!]
[The brother upstairs, how exactly are you going to ferociously look?]
[I want to look too!]

Dark lines appeared on Lin Chuan’s face.
Every single one of them is talented!
If we chat a bit more, I’m going to start suspecting myself as the crime suspect.
Thankfully, the purpose of the warm-up has been achieved.
Just waiting for the settlement on the 21st after the “Heroes Compete” event to release the new book.
Bang, bang bang.
At that moment, three knocks sounded on the iron door outside the rental.
Lin Chuan stepped out of the room and opened the iron gate, his expression astonished, “Old Zhang, why are you here?”
Compared to when he was in the detention room, Old Zhang looked much more spirited, “Chuan, I just saw your posts in the group and came up to chat with you, there’s no one else in your place, right?”
Lin Chuan smiled, “I haven’t scheduled anyone for laundry service, how could there be anyone?”
“Chuan, it’s not good to hand-wash all the time either,” Old Zhang laughed.
Lin Chuan’s expression faltered, “Old Zhang, could it be that you’ve already experienced these adverse effects?”
Old Zhang’s face developed a streak of annoyance before he handed over a bag of ripe mulberries to Lin Chuan, “Chuan, I heard mulberries are good for your eyes.”
“Brought something over, huh? Well then, come in,” Lin Chuan said cheerfully, taking the mulberries.
Another streak of annoyance crossed Old Zhang’s face.
With that said, if one didn’t bring something, they wouldn’t even be allowed in the house?
Is this how you treat your Alliance Hierarch and Landlady?
But, Old Zhang knew he was in the wrong. If he hadn’t learned Cheating Techniques from Lin Chuan’s books, Lin Chuan wouldn’t have been detained by the police for an interrogation.
“Chuan, you’re still single, aren’t you?” Old Zhang asked with a smile after inspecting Lin Chuan.
After washing the mulberries, Lin Chuan popped one in his mouth, “Old Zhang, are you thinking of setting me up with Zhang? Zhang is great in all aspects, just has a small quirk.”
Zhang Xinxin, the Little Landlady, often dressed in loose clothing, but her enviable figure was hard to conceal.
She was attractive and had tight, vibrant skin.
The only flaw was her love for watching films.
Such a pity.
