Chapter 234: Chapter 176: Comrade Lin Chuan, Please Come with Us (Five Thousand Word Chapter)_3
The little landlady stood behind Lin Chuan, gently kneading his shoulders.
"Writing novels is my main business, the company and the antique shop are side businesses," Lin Chuan said with a smile.
Writing novels definitely had to be 'written'.
These days, the Network Security Company and the Antique Shop hadn't been all smooth sailing.
AW seemed to have tracked down Lin Chuan's company.
Although they hadn't launched an attack on the Network Security Company, suddenly a bunch of joint ventures popped up, snatching orders with lower prices than the company offered.
As for the Antique Shop, the more popular someone gets, the more trouble they attract.
Many internet celebrities blocked the entrance to take pictures, while those who genuinely wanted to shop couldn't get their wish.
Luckily, after some time, when the hype died down, these internet celebrities would leave on their own.
Just as the little landlady was massaging Lin Chuan's shoulders,
Ding-dong ding-dong—
The doorbell of the large flat rang.
"Is it Old Zhang?" Lin Chuan looked up, turning to the little landlady behind him.
The little landlady shook her head, pouting slightly, "Old Zhang knows better than to come and disturb us, and besides, he's holed up in the Antique Shop admiring the antiques every day."
"Who else could it be?"
Lin Chuan was slightly puzzled.
"I'll go take a look." The little landlady turned and walked toward the door.
At the home's entrance, there was a video feed of the doorway.
The little landlady glanced down at the feed and immediately smiled, "Chairman, Sister Qianqian has come."
"Qianqian?"
Lin Chuan was taken aback, slightly surprised, "Then I'll brew her a pot of tea."
With that, Lin Chuan got up and walked into the living room, picked up the teapot to start filling it with water.
At that moment,
Lin Chuan caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of Shen Qianqian, dressed in a dark blue police uniform, with a faint smile on her face.
Behind Shen Qianqian, another police comrade stood, looking a bit more solemn.
"Officer Shen, still on duty at this hour?" Lin Chuan glanced at Shen Qianqian's attire, surprised.
Shen Qianqian looked at Lin Chuan and playfully scolded, "Isn't it thanks to you?"
"Ah?"
Lin Chuan was startled, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Weren't you going to make tea? Let's talk after you've made it," Shen Qianqian entered the living room with a cryptic smile.
The other police comrade was a bit more restrained, but he followed Shen Qianqian inside.
"So casual even when on duty," Lin Chuan chuckled dryly, though he did not stop his movements.
Soon, Lin Chuan had finished making the tea.
He poured two cups for the two comrades, "Please enjoy the tea, officers."
Shen Qianqian, very familiar with both Lin Chuan and the little landlady, took a delicate sip.
"Sister Qianqian, what kind of mission are you on? Is it about anti-fraud?" Zhang Xinxin looked at Shen Qianqian curiously.
Shen Qianqian shook her head and smiled, "Xinxin, I was still at the Anti-Fraud Center this morning, but in the afternoon, I suddenly got reassigned back to the Criminal Police Brigade."
"Back to the brigade again, looks like you're a star at the police station," Lin Chuan teased with a smile.
"A star?"
Shen Qianqian arched her eyebrows, smiling, "Comrade Lin Chuan, I think I was reassigned to the Criminal Police Brigade thanks to you."
"Ah?"
Lin Chuan was taken aback, laughing at himself, "I don't have that much influence to affect your transfer."
"Oh yes, you do."
Shen Qianqian smiled and then finished her cup of tea in one gulp, "Director Zhang specifically instructed me to follow your case throughout."
Hmm?
"My case?"
Lin Chuan's brow knitted together as he exchanged a glance with the little landlady, both looking clueless.
"What case could Lin Chuan have? He's been with me all these days," the little landlady asked, dazed and slightly worried.
At that moment,
The other police comrade glanced at Lin Chuan and the little landlady and explained:
"The case comes from Linyi Police Station in the Qilu Region, also involving the National Archaeological Team. It's a significant case, so our Anling Police Station has to assist them in the investigation."
"Ah?"
Zhang Xinxin was surprised yet anxious, "How did it get connected to Linyi Police Station in the Qilu Region?"
Qilu Region, Linyi, the National Archaeological Team, tomb robbing... these words streamed into Lin Chuan's ears.
Lin Chuan's expression shifted subtly, thinking, could it be because of the novel I wrote?
The first tomb robbing instance—Seven Stars Lu King Palace—was positioned deep in the Taiyi Mountain Range within Linyi of the Qilu Region in the Virtual World.
But that was in the Virtual World!
What did it have to do with reality?
"Xinxin, I cannot disclose the details for now. We're just investigating the basic information, but I'm sure that with Comrade Lin Chuan's excellent record of abiding by the law, there shouldn't be any serious trouble," Shen Qianqian replied with a slight pucker of her lips, shook her head, and then looked at Lin Chuan, "Comrade Lin Chuan, please come with us."
"Alright," Lin Chuan pulled at the corner of his mouth, nodding his head.
Cooperating with the police was his duty.
As for going to the Anling Police Station,
—time to head home!
