Asked You To Write A Book, Not To Confess Your Criminal Record!-Chapter 531 - 329: Played in the Applause!_2
"I’m here, I’m here!"
Shen Qianqian snapped back to reality and quickly responded.
"Did you hear what I just said?" Lin Chuan asked.

"I heard it. I’ll report to Hu Zhiduizhang right away!" Shen Qianqian replied immediately.
"Good."
Lin Chuan nodded.
Just as Shen Qianqian was about to hang up the phone, Xia Qingqing suddenly said, "Lin Chuan, are you busy tonight?"
"Huh? What’s up, Qingqing?" Lin Chuan, startled, asked.
"Nothing, I just felt a bit peckish." Xia Qingqing eyed Shen Qianqian and gave a sly smile.
"So..." Lin Chuan drew out his words.
"I want you to treat us to some late-night snacks!" Xia Qingqing stuck out her tongue playfully and smiled.
Lin Chuan checked the time, figured a little balance of work and leisure wouldn’t hurt, then grinned, "No problem, you pick the place."

"Great, I’ll come pick you up! Hanging up now."
Xia Qingqing smiled sweetly, pursed her lips, her face full of pleasure, and quickly tapped on the phone to hang up.
"Eh, you..." Shen Qianqian opened her mouth.
"What’s up?" Xia Qingqing blinked and asked with a smile, "Aren’t you going to report to Hu Zhiduizhang?"
Shen Qianqian pouted and immediately called Hu Daqiang, conveying everything Lin Chuan had said.
What kind of person is Lin Chuan now?
He was treasured by Anling Police Station.
Each time Lin Chuan made a move, it significantly boosted Anling Police Station’s performance, helping them clinch numerous annual awards in last year’s evaluation.
The covert operation on the underground gambling den this time was naturally a piece of cake for him.
Hu Daqiang gave his consent immediately.
Shen Qianqian hung up the phone.
She looked again, and Xia Qingqing had already changed her clothes.
She wore a dark-colored turtleneck knit bodysuit under light blue skinny jeans, which showcased her slender waist, topped with a moon-white long cardigan that complemented her bright, pinkish face, giving off the impression of warm sunlight scattering after early snow; she looked enchanting.
Shen Qianqian’s mouth twitched, "Qingqing, why dress up so beautifully just for a midnight snack?"
"So are you coming?"
Xia Qingqing countered.
Reluctantly smiling, Shen Qianqian promptly went into her room, opened her wardrobe, and began to dress herself meticulously.
The operation was initially scheduled for tomorrow morning between nine and ten; however, since it was just a feint meant mainly to show Lin Chuan’s cooperation, no extensive preparation was necessary.
So a late-night snack tonight was perfectly fine.
About two minutes later.
Shen Qianqian also got ready, walking beside Xia Qingqing like two dazzling and exquisite twin lotuses: "Let’s go; I’m really craving some midnight snacks."
"Am I not?" Xia Qingqing blinked.
The two policewomen, tacitly understanding each other, stepped out, braving the cold wind as they drove to Linjiang Mansion to pick up Lin Chuan.
...
Meanwhile.
At the underground gambling den.
Contrary to the joyful reunion in a fragrant, steamy barbecue late-night snack setting of Lin Chuan, Xia Qingqing, and Shen Qianqian, the atmosphere among Big Tiger, Xiaoyang, and Yao Jie was quite oppressive.
Big Tiger was smoking a cigar, the smoke filled the office.
Yao Jie and Xiaoyang stood nearby. Given the disparity in their status, they had no choice but to inhale the second-hand smoke Big Tiger exhaled, without any complaints.
"Phew—"
Big Tiger exhaled another smoke ring, "How is everything coming along at Heart Language Company?"
Yao Jie coughed lightly and immediately responded, "Heart Language Company is all set."
Big Tiger nodded.
Then he turned to Xiaoyang, "What about manpower?"
Big Tiger knew Lin Chuan was an excellent fighter with unparalleled secret data indicating he could take on several men at once, even more than a dozen.
Even the "King of Killers" from England, Croney, wasn’t a match for Lin Chuan.
Hence, manpower arrangements were crucial.
Xiaoyang, confident and determined, said, "All arranged. Everyone is armed, and there are three guns fitted with silencers. As soon as he walks in, there’s no going back!"
"Very good!" Big Tiger nodded, a rare smile crossing his lips.
Xiaoyang added, "The men we’ve picked are all daredevils from underground fighting arenas, fearless. You can totally rely on them, boss!"
"Very good! Very good!"
Big Tiger felt greatly satisfied; his fingers gently tapping his cigar, the ash flicked off in small pieces into the glass ashtray, giving him a feeling of pointing at the mountains with his middle finger.
He thought for a moment and then asked, "The retreat route?"
Xiaoyang was in charge of this.
Xiaoyang nodded solemnly, "Boss, rest assured, I have arranged everything. We have the best vehicles and the best drivers. The retreat route leads directly to the border, and I guarantee there won’t be any slip-ups. Those cops won’t even know we’re gone!"
Big Tiger laughed heartily, relieved, "We just wait until tomorrow at three in the afternoon, and we’ll strike!"
Xiaoyang and Yao Jie both grinned, "By then, Boss, you’ll shoot straight to the top!"
If they really could capture Lin Chuan, Big Tiger’s rush into the core of the Baisheng Group would be unproblematic, further elevating Chairman Zhao’s status within Baisheng Group, unmatched and unopposed.
The secrets hidden within Lin Chuan were immense!
Whoever got him would virtually possess the power to command the wind and rain in the Dark World.
This was also why, even though Baisheng Group knew that the fall of the Morgan Group’s Asia-Pacific Branch might be linked to Lin Chuan, they still stuck to the original plan.
Big Tiger put down his cigar, raised his hand and pointed at Xiaoyang and Yao Jie, "You two are my confidants. Do well, and I guarantee you wealth and honor!"
"Thank you, Boss!"
Xiaoyang and Yao Jie exchanged a look and smiled excitedly.
The originally somber atmosphere suddenly became lively.
The two, more diligently than ever, gathered information to prevent any unexpected incidents tomorrow.
They had to ensure that everything went according to plan.
Their wealth and status depended on Lin Chuan!
But,
the joy lasted only ten minutes before it abruptly ended.
Because something unexpected happened!
Xiaoyang and Yao Jie rushed into the office, their faces filled with urgency and anxiety.
They had just left the office to gather information and unexpectedly received some startling news.
"What happened?"
Big Tiger, caressing a photo he had with Old Bao, looked up at their expressions and his brow furrowed, feeling a sudden sense of dread.
The last thing he wanted was to see such expressions on his subordinates’ faces just before a battle.
Xiaoyang swallowed hard, "It’s bad, Boss, the police are going to move against us!"
"Hmm?"
Big Tiger’s face hardened, he leaned forward, his eyes widening like copper bells, keenly sensing something amiss.
Yao Jie added, "Just now, we got tipped off. The Anling police have found our underground casino. They’ll make their move tomorrow morning at the latest, or they might even raid the casino tonight after midnight!"
Big Tiger immediately set the photo aside and stood up abruptly, "Where did you get this information?"
"From an old informant!" Xiaoyang replied.
The atmosphere in the office instantly grew tense, a cold wind seemed to blow through, and the temperature felt like it had dropped to freezing, making everyone shiver.
"Is the information reliable?" Big Tiger asked again.
Xiaoyang nodded firmly, "Absolutely reliable!"
Big Tiger clenched his fist and slammed it down on the desk, cursing vulgarly.
This sudden complication would disrupt all their plans!
The plan to capture Lin Chuan alive might just go down the drain.
"Boss, what should we do?" Yao Jie looked eagerly at Big Tiger, who was now their pillar of strength.
"Retreat!"
Big Tiger gritted his teeth, squeezing the word out through his teeth.
They were a professional gang; they retreated quickly, completing the withdrawal in almost half an hour.
But finding a new secret location was not easy.
Because the Anling Police might have already set their sights on them!
"What the hell happened?"
In a temporary secret location, Big Tiger glared fiercely at Xiaoyang and Yao Jie.
Xiaoyang, shrinking his neck, trembled as he spoke, "We found out that one of our guys got a plainclothes officer into the casino!"
"Is he a pig! He couldn’t spot a plainclothes?"
Big Tiger roared hysterically.
Yao Jie and Xiaoyang were silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to speak more.
"Could it be related to Lin Chuan?" Big Tiger suddenly asked.
It was sudden, and somewhat coincidental.
Heart Language Company had just collaborated with Lin Chuan, and then their underground casino was exposed; he couldn’t help but be suspicious.
"It shouldn’t be." Xiaoyang paused for a moment then said, "Our guys found out he’s currently eating barbecue with two female police officers."
