Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

"It's possible that they want to use me to blackmail Lin Chuan."

The Little Landlady pursed her lips as she put forth her hypothesis.

Shen Qianqian nodded and said, "That's very likely. So, can we counter their scheme with one of our own?"

"How do we counter their scheme?"

The Little Landlady pressed on.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Shen Qianqian's face as she proposed, "They've set a trap for us like a Banquet, there must be an ambush in place. Why don't we strike first and take them down in one fell swoop?"

Zhang Xinxin fell into thought.

Hu Daqiang contemplated for a moment before turning to Lin Chuan, "Comrade Lin Chuan, what do you think?"

"Countering their scheme is a good suggestion,"

Lin Chuan nodded and smiled, but then his tone shifted, "However, we need to decline Liu Meng's invitation now."

"Why?" Shen Qianqian asked, frowning.

"Given the current relationship between Xinxin and Liu Meng, logically, Xinxin should refuse," Lin Chuan explained, "Also, I suspect, receiving an invitation at this time, there's no denying it's likely a trap, but another point, it could very well be a test by the Morgan Group to see if Xinxin and I have obtained any key information."

"A test?"

Shen Qianqian's brow furrowed slightly as confusion spread across her face.

"Yes, I just battled with the Morgan Group hackers online last night; they may also want to confirm whether I've obtained any crucial information. If we accept the meeting invitation tonight out of the ordinary, it would arouse their suspicion."

The Little Landlady was dizzy trying to follow the train of thought Lin Chuan laid out.

Shen Qianqian's brows were knitted tightly together.

Only Hu Daqiang understood and added, "Yes, assuming Comrade Lin Chuan didn't obtain any information from his battle with the Morgan Group hackers and considering that Comrade Zhang Xinxin and Liu Meng do not get along well, it would be unlikely for us to accept the invitation."

By then, Shen Qianqian also understood, "I was too eager for quick success."

Lin Chuan nodded, "Another thing, her invitation for a meeting tonight comes at a time when we have yet to conduct a more in-depth investigation into this case. Tonight is not the best time for action. So, we need to refuse and control the pace."

"So, how should I reply to her?"

Zhang Xinxin wasn't very familiar with case investigations but instinctively trusted Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan glanced at Shen Qianqian and Hu Daqiang, seeing no objections, he said, "Xinxin, just say you're feeling very down and don't want to go out, that you'll talk in a couple of days."

"Okay."

Zhang Xinxin did as instructed and replied to Liu Meng's message.

Soon after, Liu Meng texted back, "Okay, I'll contact you in a couple of days. I hope you won't avoid me anymore. I want to have a proper talk with you."

"When I'm willing to see you, I'll naturally seek you out," directed by Lin Chuan, Little Landlady Zhang Xinxin replied.

"Alright, I'll wait for your message," Liu Meng responded.

"Is this okay?" Zhang Xinxin turned off the phone screen and asked.

Lin Chuan nodded, "It's fine."

Ring, ring, ring—

The ringtone of Hu Daqiang's phone sounded.

The caller ID showed: Director Zhang.

Hu Daqiang immediately answered the call, and Zhang Biao's voice came through, "Old Hu, I have a few words I want to say to Comrade Lin."

"Okay."

Hu Daqiang quickly handed the phone to Lin Chuan, "Comrade Lin Chuan, it's Director Zhang's call."

Lin Chuan took the call, "Director Zhang, hello."

"Comrade Lin, don't be a stranger. I've just reported your case to the provincial department and had an in-depth discussion with Elder Zhong. Elder Zhong and I hope that you can participate in the investigation and handling of this case. No one is more familiar with this case than you, so we really need your strength."

Lin Chuan was momentarily stunned, and after a moment's thought, he replied, "Director Zhang, I will do everything I can to assist in the police investigation."

The opponent was Morgan Company.

He, fighting alone, would find it difficult to root out the Morgan Group's influence in Han River. Working with the police would be more efficient and hit a broader target!

"Excellent! I will take charge of coordinating with Interpol to ensure that not a single one of the Morgan Group's operatives in Han River is left!" Zhang Biao spoke with firm determination.

Immediately.

Zhang Biao's order was conveyed to Hu Daqiang.

Hu Daqiang closely cooperated with Lin Chuan in the investigation.

Meanwhile, specialized personnel from the Criminal Police Brigade, Cyber Security Detachment, Drug Enforcement Team, and other units were assigned to join the investigation of this transnational crime.

Undoubtedly.

As the lead investigator on this case, Lin Chuan took charge of thoroughly investigating Huarun Company, filtering through their more detailed contacts and transactions with the Morgan Group.

The entire Anling Police force began a full-scale investigation around this case.

Among them.

Lin Chuan first launched an investigation into Liu Meng.

The first step was to pinpoint Liu Meng's location.

Just now, Liu Meng had sent several messages to Zhang Xinxin, and Lin Chuan immediately followed this clue for the investigation.

By hacking into the mobile phone to locate, a technique Lin Chuan had used in the Yundian Lincang region to rescue reader Old Bai.

Now, it was being used on Liu Meng.

The Cyber Security Detachment had specially dispatched Xia Qingqing and a group of elite cyber police to assist Lin Chuan with the investigation.

Xia Qingqing was also well-versed in this operation.

Suddenly.

Xia Qingqing, through technical positioning, obtained Liu Meng's current location, and her brows immediately furrowed, "Lin Chuan, come over here!"

Lin Chuan quickly moved to Xia Qingqing's side, "What's wrong?" Discover more stories at m,v l'e|m-p| y r

"I've pinpointed Liu Meng's current position; she's at Anzhou Pharmaceutical!"

"Anzhou Pharmaceutical?"

Lin Chuan's expression changed.

"Keke... sister?" Beside him, Zhang Xinxin was also taken aback.

Anzhou Pharmaceutical was a place she was more than familiar with.

Recently, Anzhou Pharmaceutical had reached a cooperative agreement with the 720 Company and was discussing further collaboration.

The general manager of Anzhou Pharmaceutical, Yu Keke, had also been in close contact with her, and she had often sought Yu Keke's advice on drug knowledge.

Now, Liu Meng was inside Anzhou Pharmaceutical.

Didn't that suggest a connection between Liu Meng and Yu Keke?

"I'll listen in," Lin Chuan immediately took over the computer, opened a window, and skillfully inserted a piece of code he had already prepared.

This was a Trojan program to hack into mobile phones.

In Lin Chuan's code library, he had long prepared a variety of programs.

Now, there was finally a chance to use them legally!

At this moment, Lin Chuan infiltrated Liu Meng's mobile phone in an extremely covert manner and detected that Liu Meng's mobile phone was not in use; he silently activated Liu Meng's phone's recording feature.

Soon, Liu Meng's voice came through the computer, "Miss Yu, she refused; what should we do?"

"If she had really agreed, we would have to leave right away."

Another voice replied.

Lin Chuan recognized it, and he exchanged a glance with Little Landlady Zhang Xinxin.

—This was Yu Keke's voice.

Liu Meng was talking to Yu Keke, presumably in an office, with no other background noise.

"Why?"

Liu Meng sounded surprised.

Yu Keke, however, seemed very confident, assured, "Normally, she wouldn't want to see you, and last night Lin Chuan was attacked by a hacker. If she were to meet you now, that would be suspicious."

Zhang Xinxin swallowed hard.

Lin Chuan had guessed right!

They were probing!

"So you're saying that when you proposed to meet her tonight, you were actually testing her?" Liu Meng's voice came through the computer again.

Yu Keke answered, "Now we can be sure that we haven't been exposed. We just need to wait a couple of days, pretend to run into her, and then make our move."

"Alright! What about the goods in the basement, will they be delivered according to the original plan?"

"Yes, the plan remains the same."

"..."

Inside the Criminal Police Brigade.

Lin Chuan stopped the surveillance on Liu Meng's phone, his eyes turning cold.

Now, it was certain that Anzhou Pharmaceutical and Huarun Company were Morgan Group's 'claws' in Han River Province's Anling City!

Yu Keke was one of the key figures!

Lin Chuan looked at Little Landlady beside him, still reeling from the close call; Yu Keke had been scheming all along, and if not for pinpointing Liu Meng's location, they might still be oblivious to Yu Keke being the mastermind!

He took a deep breath!

Huarun Company, Anzhou Pharmaceutical, Liu Meng, Yu Keke... he would apprehend them all!
