Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Chuan, something big has happened!
“[Did that police comrade just say the book was his? I’m gonna learn some techniques!]
[Bro, Sailing Novel Website, search for ‘Swindler’.]
[That’s hardcore! Indeed, reality is much more exciting than novels!]
[I’m still wondering, how did he swap the cards?]
[I wanna know too!]
[Quick, ask the host!]

Shen Qianqian smiled radiantly, after introducing the purpose of the event, she slightly turned her face and looked towards Lin Chuan:
“The audience is particularly eager to know how you managed to swap the cards so skillfully in the two gambling rounds just now. But since our video surveillance didn’t detect any of your actions, could you explain it to us?”
“Of course, I can.”
Lin Chuan nodded, a smile appearing on his handsome face.
Lin Chuan then explained, “Hello everyone, in the first round, I had control of the Ace of Spades from the start. After showing the Five of Diamonds as my bottom card, the moment I set it down, I had already swapped it with the Ace of Spades.”
“The second round, I did the same trick.”
“This trick, called ‘Heaven and Earth’, has a more detailed disclosure in my novel ‘Swindler’.”
“I want to share with everyone that at the gambling table, it’s all about fraud techniques. Once you sit at the table, there’s only losing…”
…
The anti-gambling campaign went very smoothly, receiving very positive feedback.
Half an hour later, the live broadcast ended.
Shen Qianqian and Lin Chuan left the hall, walking along the long corridor.
“Not bad, Lin Chuan!”
Shen Qianqian raised her eyebrows playfully, praising Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan smiled: “Officer Shen is the traffic password, attracting quite a few viewers.”
“Smarty-pants.”
Shen Qianqian laughed, then became concerned about the Average Subscription of Lin Chuan’s novel, “With such promotion, your novel subscription should see a significant increase, right?”
Lin Chuan pursed his lips, pondering, “I’m not really sure, but I don’t think I’ll starve.”
Some people like watching videos but don’t enjoy reading novels.
Some people are the opposite.
Turning live broadcast viewers into novel readers, Lin Chuan wasn’t sure about the conversion rate.
“Giggle–”
Shen Qianqian laughed, saying, “With your unique skills, would you really starve?”
Lin Chuan grinned: “I dare not use this unique skill to make a living. I reckon the moment I do, you’ll transform and come to catch me.”
“Transform… what transform?”
Shen Qianqian was stunned, a trace of confusion appearing on her face.
“Err… just like transforming into Ultraman to execute justice and defeat the little monsters,” Lin Chuan explained hastily, making it up on the spot.
Phew–
Transforming into the red Dragon Hollyhock, from sweet to stunning, he almost let slip.
Soon, they arrived at the police station’s reception room.
Captain Li Bing personally poured a cup of tea for Lin Chuan, saying with a cheerful smile, “Comrade Lin Chuan, the anti-gambling campaign has been a resounding success, and you played a crucial role!”
Lin Chuan sat down, smiling, “Captain Li is too kind. It’s what I should do as a citizen.”
“You must visit us at Anling Police Station more often,” Captain Li Bing said with a smile.
Just as Lin Chuan picked up his teacup and took a sip, he looked over at Shen Qianqian: “Captain Li, I’m afraid Officer Shen might interrogate me again.”
“Writer Lin!”
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, “As long as you abide by the law, how could I possibly arrest you!”
Li Bing laughed heartily from the sidelines: “Comrade Lin Chuan, Officer Shen is perceptive. The previous two interrogations were just for investigation. What I mean is, we hope that Comrade Lin Chuan can cooperate more with our police station to better promote anti-gambling.”
Lin Chuan smiled broadly: “If there’s more anti-gambling promotion, I will definitely cooperate actively!”
3000 yuan!
Ah… money or not, it doesn’t matter; what I really hope for is to create a gambling-free environment!
You can call me to promote it every day!
That’s what Lin Chuan thought to himself.
As he was leaving,
Captain Li Bing personally saw Lin Chuan out, patting him on the shoulder earnestly, “Comrade Lin Chuan, you must be a law-abiding good citizen!”
