Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Chapter 17 You Can’t Leave Yet! (2/2)
My heart is clear, what is there to fear?
After Lin Chuan was no longer afraid, his thinking became as sharp as before, and he looked at Chen Ming to reply, “This is not teaching of cheating techniques, but an exposé of cheating techniques!”
The three of them were startled.
If it was defined as an exposé of cheating techniques, then Lin Chuan was not a criminal suspect but actually a public welfare advocate against gambling!
Lin Chuan continued to defend himself, “Guns, police comrades use them to enforce justice, whereas criminals use them to commit evil. By the same token, as for the exposé of cheating techniques, normal people will watch and avoid being cheated, while those with evil intentions will seek to learn and commit fraud.”
“In the end, what prompts them to break the law is not my novel, but their own greed.”
The cold interrogation room seemed to have become Lin Chuan’s own stage.
However, Lin Chuan did not want the interrogation room to become his stage—he just wanted to leave this dreadful place as quickly as possible.
It was not a pleasant memory at all.
Instead, it was all a nightmare!
Shen Qianqian’s beautiful eyes twinkled, and she couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Lin Chuan.
She was persuaded!
Especially by the discussion about ‘guns,’ which resonated deeply with her.
She was a bit curious.
Was this the thinking of a writer whose books had flopped?
And the head of public security, Li Bing, didn’t jump to conclusions, his tone had become much more mellow, “Lin Chuan, your case is special, we need to consult with relevant legal professionals before we can determine its nature.”
Then, the interrogation paused.
Li Bing, Shen Qianqian, and Chen Ming stepped out of the interrogation room to discuss with the relevant legal team.
They also called up the surveillance video of the landlord Old Zhang cheating to analyze it frame by frame.
After a full hour.
Shen Qianqian pushed open the iron door of the interrogation room, her face was not as stern as it had been originally, appearing gentle and sweet, allowing Lin Chuan to breathe a sigh of relief.
Her voice was also soft and tender.
“Lin Chuan, after careful discussion, your novel ‘Swindler’s Life’ can indeed be seen as an exemplar of exposing cheating techniques and anti-gambling, therefore, you are not suspected of teaching methods of crime,” she said.
That day, Shen Qianqian showed Lin Chuan a rare bright smile.
Phew–
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan heaved a deep sigh of relief.
It was not easy!
He was almost labeled a criminal suspect!
Shen Qianqian laughed again, “Lin Chuan, your novel is really quite good.”
“Really?”
Lin Chuan cracked a big smile.
“Of course, the staff responsible for reviewing and analyzing all said it was very good!” Shen Qianqian nodded.
Lin Chuan blinked, “Then could I get a full subscription from you?”
Shen Qianqian was startled, “Ah?”
“A full subscription, thank you for your support! Your full subscription is my motivation!”
Lin Chuan gave a traditional Martial World salute with his hands.
Perhaps because Sailing Novel hadn’t arranged for a recommendation, or maybe because it clashed with Handon’s new book ‘King of Cheating’ in terms of the theme, Lin Chuan had just checked his attribute panel:
[Current work: ‘Swindler’]
[Status: Published.]
[Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 103/1000.]
The growth rate of the average subscription was too small.
Half of it was from old readers’ subscriptions, and at this rate, when would he reach a thousand average subscriptions, in the Year of the Monkey?
Ah…
He was almost down to eating dirt!
Shen Qianqian’s lips twitched slightly, but she still took out her phone and gave Lin Chuan a big full subscription!
[Popularity Value (Average Subscription): 104/1000.]
“Thank you, Officer Shen, I’ll be leaving now.”
Lin Chuan offered another traditional salute and turned to leave.
Shen Qianqian stretched out her hand and stopped Lin Chuan, “You can’t leave yet!”
