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

Lin Chuan sat in the police car, heading back.

Outside the window, the setting sun cast slanting rays over the nearby mountains and forests, adding a layer of golden yellow.

The mountains here were not tall, but between their overlapping layers, a few mountain trees and plants painted a scene of simple elegance, like an ink wash painting. Closing his eyes, he could almost hear the babbling of flowing water, carrying with it a breath of nature.

At the same time, Lin Chuan also heard a 'sobbing and wailing' sound in his ears.

The 'sobbing and wailing' came from Old Bai.

After the personnel from the Lincang Criminal Police Brigade handcuffed the fraud ring, the scammed individuals also got off the truck. Old Bai also got into the police car with Lin Chuan.

"Old Lin, from now on, you're my brother!"

Old Bai sat to Lin Chuan's left, grasping his hands while speaking in a tearful voice. His voice conveyed the relief of being rescued and was filled with immense gratitude.

At this moment, his hair, which was normally neatly combed and glossy, had become a messy clump.

He was far from presentable.

However, Old Bai wasn't worried about his appearance, incessantly thanking Lin Chuan.

"Don't call me brother; I don't have such a foolish younger brother," Lin Chuan waved his hand, teasingly bantering with a smile on his face.

"Brother, don't look down on me, I'm a graduate from a prestigious university," Old Bai hurriedly explained, "I'm really smart; it was just a moment of confusion this time."

"Is there any embellishment to your graduate degree, didn't I remind you to watch out for scams?" Lin Chuan chuckled and asked.

"Um..."

Old Bai's expression turned somewhat downcast, "Little Mei was just too good at disguising, I completely lost control."

"Will you still participate in online dating or meet up with someone you met online in the future?" Lin Chuan asked with a smile.

Old Bai shrank back slightly, the large man speaking somewhat aggrievedly, "Next time I meet up, I will definitely bring you along."

"You dare think there will be a next time?" Lin Chuan asked in a surprised tone.

"Hehehe..."

Old Bai scratched the back of his head and grinned, "I've embarrassed myself as a graduate from a prestigious university and you as well."

"Then aren't you going to thank your brother?" Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, brother."

Old Bai's mouth spread into a wide grin, and then he turned to look at Shen Qianqian who was next to Lin Chuan, "Thank you sis-in-law."

Sis-in-law?

Lin Chuan was taken aback and scolded jokingly, "Don't go blabbering; call her Officer Shen."

"Alright, brother." Old Bai chuckled and promptly said to Shen Qianqian, "Thank you, Officer Shen."

Shen Qianqian didn't mind Old Bai's slip in calling her 'sis-in-law' and smiled, "No need to thank me, your being rescued is all thanks to your brother."

That was the truth.

She did not doubt that from the discovery of the plea for help, to the IP location, the pursuit, and finally apprehending the fraud ring, if there had been any error in any part of it, Old Bai would probably have been smuggled out of the country and thrown into a factory area.

Shen Qianqian thought that her most significant contribution was her ability to drive a heavy motorcycle, having transported Lin Chuan to the scene.

Another slightly significant contribution might be her police badge, which made the fraud ring have a tiny bit of respect for the gun in her hand.

Beyond that, she didn't feel much involvement.

Overall, it was the most relaxing arrest she had ever been part of.

Indeed, it had never been so easy.

"Brother, I'll gift you two more Alliance Leader's Treasure Chests to boost the popularity of your new book," Old Bai chuckled, showing a wide grin.

"Didn't you just send an Alliance Leader's Treasure Chest last time?" Lin Chuan countered, "Save your money, especially since you, a graduate student, are not working yet."

"Don't worry, brother, I have a part-time job," Old Bai said, chuckling.

"What part-time job?"

"Livestreaming."

"Livestreaming what?"

"Livestreaming the making of some imitation items, you know, counterfeits. But it's just for fun; I'm terrible at creating fakes," Old Bai explained with a laugh.

"Knocking offs, huh? You're quite the criminal!" Lin Chuan was slightly surprised and amused, "What's your field of study?"

"Brother, my major is the restoration and protection of cultural relics," Old Bai responded.

Lin Chuan nodded and gave a thumbs up, "When I have the money to start a collection, I'll come to you for the protection work."

Old Bai chuckled, patting his chest and saying, "No problem."

The police car zigzaged through the winding roads, speeding along, with the mountains and trees on either side constantly receding. A team of armed police followed closely behind to ensure the safety of Lin Chuan and his group.

Soon, the Criminal Police Brigade brought Lin Chuan and the others back to the Lincang police station.

At this time, dusk and night intertwined.

Between the light and shadows, inside the station, red flags fluttered, giving the rescued individuals a strong sense of security as they heaved a huge sigh of relief.

In the police station's reception room.

A short-haired girl had been sitting for a while, waiting quietly, glancing out of the window from time to time, until the headlights of the police car came into view when she immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

In the night, Xia Qingqing looked eagerly with her clear eyes at the people getting off the police car, waiting for Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian.

Then, a smile spread across her face as she spotted a very familiar figure.

Lin Chuan.

Xia Qingqing immediately walked over quickly, examining Lin Chuan carefully and asked with concern, "Comrade Lin Chuan, are you alright?"

Lin Chuan, seeing Xia Qingqing coming straight towards him, smiled and said, "It was all just little hurdles, no need to raise a hand to solve them."

Xia Qingqing rebuked with a pout, "You're boasting!"

"Comrade Lin Chuan isn't boasting," Shen Qianqian got out of the car and hooked Xia Qingqing's arm, smiling as she spoke.

Xia Qingqing raised her eyebrows in amusement, "Comrade Lin Chuan is that amazing?"

"He's the fraud ring leader, how could he be not amazing?" Shen Qianqian smiled radiantly.

Fraud ring leader?

Lin Chuan's face darkened, "Slander! When did I become a fraud ring leader?"

"You scared fifteen fraudsters half to death with a toy gun; isn't that fraud?" Shen Qianqian laughed.
