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

The subtle stubble on his chin gave Big Tiger a curious sensation of friction.

Idea after idea surfaced in his mind, only to be dismissed one by one.

"No, no, no!"

Big Tiger couldn't help but become agitated.

That's right, his opponent was Lin Chuan, different from anyone he has faced before. The opponent's insight and tactics could be stronger than his own.

Although there were enough examples of the weak overcoming the strong, when it came down to devising a concrete plan, not just anyone could come up with one.

What's more, for the weak to overcome the strong, the 'strong' had to cooperate.

Would Lin Chuan cooperate now?

"Boss, why don't we just throw a fastball?" Xiaoyang suggested, unable to bear seeing Big Tiger like this.

"What do you mean by a fastball?"

"That is, to directly provoke him by saying his cheating techniques are no good, and unless he proves it through real combat, we won't believe it." Xiaoyang spoke softer and softer, and truthfully, he also felt quite tentative about it.

"Don't you think that's stupid?" Big Tiger pointed at his own head.

Xiaoyang hung his head, no longer speaking.

This suggestion indeed seemed a bit naïve; Lin Chuan would likely see through it instantly.

"Boss, I've got it!"

A lightbulb went off in Yao Jie's mind; suddenly, he had an idea.

Big Tiger looked at Yao Jie and commanded, "Speak."

Yao Jie grinned, "We could have Lin Chuan fix our computers, like, let's pretend there's a virus infection. We can collaborate with the people of the 720 Company to get a powerful hacker to attack us. Ordinary employees can't handle it, and then Lin Chuan will have to step in personally, won't he?"

Big Tiger's eyes lit up immediately, "This idea is good!"

The corner of Xiaoyang's mouth twitched as he reminded, "Boss, Lin Chuan just wiped out AW not long ago."

Ugh...

Big Tiger's smile instantly froze on his face, a tad embarrassed.

Finding a hacker capable of making Lin Chuan take action would be challenging!

Ask Chairman Zhao, it's rumored that he has teamed up with the Morgan Group and has hacker support.

"You all go down first."

Big Tiger waved his hand.

Yao Jie and Xiaoyang left the office.

Then, Big Tiger dialed a secret number, "Chairman Zhao, it's Ah Hu."

"Ah Hu, what's the matter?"

Over the phone, Chairman Zhao's voice emanated a sense of steady confidence, as if he was firmly in control.

Chairman Zhao thought for a moment, "Your idea is feasible, proceed with the plan involving the hacker attack."

"Our hackers?"

Big Tiger inquired.

"As for the hacker side, just rest assured and focus on setting up your end," the steady and powerful voice of Chairman Zhao reassured Big Tiger.

"Good, received!" Big Tiger cracked a smile.

Inside the Baisheng Group, Chairman Zhao was the source of his confidence.

Now, with Chairman Zhao firmly in control, he also gained a bit of confidence.

Capturing Lin Chuan was Chairman Zhao's current top priority—he wouldn't joke about this. In this respect, Big Tiger was quite at ease.

...

The late-night breeze gently wafted.

Shadows of trees swayed, the street lamps interlaced with the darkness.

Lin Chuan had already returned home. In the still of the night, he was still hard at work.

As the leader of the group tasked with 'eradicating the online divisions of the Morgan and Baisheng criminal syndicates,' he first contacted the International Police's Li Tong and Qin Yun to hand over the intelligence and information gathered during this period.

Start with the Morgan Group.

Current whereabouts of Lucas from the Morgan Group, the armed personnel around him, the allocation of their firearms, recent movements, as well as the list of Morgan Group executives in the Asia-Pacific region and related evidence in Lin Chuan's possession, were all handed over to Li Tong.

Li Tong was in charge of communicating with the overall commander, Zhao Haiping.

This was Li Tong's area of expertise.

"Leader, Old Zhao has given the order. We will be able to act soon, but we need remote network intrusion to assist by blocking surveillance signals and the like."

Li Tong quickly responded with confirmation.

"Of course, that's no problem," laughed Lin Chuan.

The investigation into the Morgan Group was pretty much understood by him; the recent probing was just to make sure nothing went wrong.

Now, finally, the arrow was put onto the bow.

Next came the Baisheng Group.

Lin Chuan's investigation into the Baisheng Group was still in its initial stages, mainly informed by the intelligence brought by Squirrel.

Without Squirrel, the plan would have to be delayed further.

However, Squirrel had now infiltrated the inner circle. With a bit more time and gaining Chairman Zhao's trust, he would obtain much more information.

By then, if Lin Chuan wanted to, he could strip Chairman Zhao down to nothing!

Not to mention his Baisheng Group.

...

Day and night alternated.

Lin Chuan had worked all morning.

At three in the afternoon, Lin Chuan donned a light gray casual suit and went with Old Zhang to the appointed place.

Yueming Tea House.

Lin Chuan had been here many times.

The sun at three or four in the afternoon cast a pale golden light on the quaint and elegant greenish-gray brick wall of the quiet alley, the emerald green potted plants at the door of the Yueming Tea House did not wither because of the winter, but grew a bit more and were still vibrant.

Lin Chuan and Old Zhang were led by a woman in a cheongsam with graceful looks into a meeting hall of the Yueming Tea House.

Lin Chuan usually entered private rooms; this was his first time in the meeting hall of the Tea House.

Lin Chuan looked around.

In the vast meeting hall, decked out with antique decorations, six tea tables were laid out, clearly arranged by the Tea House to accommodate the event of the Anti-Gambling Association.

At this moment, all the other tables were full except for the one at the very end, where only two people sat.

"Writer Lin!"

One of the people at the farthest tea table was Chen Ming.

He brightened up at the sight of Lin Chuan approaching and immediately stood up to greet him.
