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

"The Morgan Group is a major conglomerate that operates in the black industry, engaging in a range of criminal activities including addictive drugs, arms trafficking, human trafficking, and counterfeit currency on a global scale," Lin Chuan explained.

The Little Landlady listened quietly.

Lin Chuan continued, "Last night, hackers from the Morgan Group attacked a section I had set up on the global forum called the Underworld because an addictive drug in my novel coincided with their new type of addictive drugs, so they believed I had leaked this secret."

"Was that who you went after last night? They didn't succeed, did they?" the Little Landlady asked, lifting her head and looking concerned.

"They didn't succeed; I counterattacked their server," Lin Chuan replied.

A touch of pride appeared on the Little Landlady's face, and she said with gratification, "My chairman is so fantastic!"

Lin Chuan ruffled the Little Landlady's head, "I entered their server and obtained the server data..."

"Does this data pose a difficulty for you?"

The Little Landlady's eyebrows knitted slightly as she asked.

"Yes," Lin Chuan nodded.

"Is it Liu Meng?" the Little Landlady asked tentatively.

Lin Chuan was taken aback as he met the Little Landlady's gaze.

The Little Landlady's mouth twitched with indignation, "I knew her return was no good news!"

Lin Chuan let out a light sigh, "I've found the contact records between Huarun Company and Morgan Group. If we delve deeper, we should be able to find their trade records."

"Are you planning to meet Liu Meng alone and then persuade her to turn herself in?"

The Little Landlady asked, eyes wide.

"How did you know?" Lin Chuan was surprised.

"How could I not understand you?" the Little Landlady said, then she continued angrily, "Chairman, you can't meet her alone; it's too dangerous!"

"This..."

Lin Chuan was at a loss for words for a moment.

However, the Little Landlady had already taken action. She took out her phone and dialed a number: "Sister Qianqian."

"Xinxin, you're up early?"

The voice of Shen Qianqian came through the phone.

The Little Landlady looked up at Lin Chuan and pursed her lips, then said solemnly, "Sister Qianqian, I want to report a crime!"

"Ah? What sort of crime are you reporting?"

On the other end, Shen Qianqian had just reached her desk and was immediately taken aback upon hearing the Little Landlady's words. .net

"I'm reporting that Huarun Foreign Trade Export Company has trade dealings with the Morgan Group, who is engaged in the black industry, and that Liu Meng, the general manager of the Han River District branch of Huarun, is involved," the Little Landlady declared emphatically.

At Anling Police Station, Shen Qianqian swallowed hard, "Xinxin, this case you're reporting, we'll need to further investigate and confirm."

"I can provide the evidence from my end, and I'll cooperate with the investigation," the Little Landlady said, looking up again, "My chairman will also cooperate with the investigation."

"Okay, I'll be right over to pick you up," Shen Qianqian replied immediately.

"Sister Qianqian, see you in a bit."

The Little Landlady hung up the phone.

Lin Chuan took a deep breath, "Xinxin, you..."

"What about me?" the Little Landlady asked, her lips pursed.

Lin Chuan was at a loss for words.

The Little Landlady hugged Lin Chuan, rubbed her little face against his chest, and asked, "Chairman, is the Morgan Group a criminal organization?"

Lin Chuan nodded.

"Aside from attacking your forum section and novel, could they harbor other malicious intents against you?" the Little Landlady asked again.

Lin Chuan nodded once more.

"So, if Liu Meng is part of the Morgan Group, is she involved in illegal and criminal activities as well?"

"Hmm."

"Then what are you hesitating about?"

"I'm worried about you..."

"You don't need to worry about me; I know right from wrong!" the Little Landlady said earnestly, "Chairman, I have complete faith in you, so I will unwaveringly support you."

The Little Landlady's words pierced straight into Lin Chuan's heart, causing a profound jolt.

"It's hard on you," Lin Chuan said, hugging the Little Landlady tight and letting out a sigh.

The Little Landlady shook her head and added, "If Liu Meng comes to a realization, that would be great. If she ends up getting shot, I'll burn a couple of incense sticks for her; it's the least I can do as we were mother and daughter once, and Old Zhang would support me in this!"

"If I get the chance, I'll advise her," Lin Chuan thought for a moment and said.

The Little Landlady's pretty face revealed a smile, "Good!"

Lin Chuan let out a sigh.

He suddenly felt that the Little Landlady in his arms was much more insightful than he was, seemingly more straightforward and decisive.

It was him, on the other hand, whose thoughts were more internally conflicted.

Alas...

However, the words of the Little Landlady shook his mind for a long time, not settling easily.

He hugged the Little Landlady even tighter, almost as if he wanted to merge her into his body, "Xinxin, during this time, people from the Morgan Group might take action against me, so you shouldn't go out for business as usual."

The Little Landlady pursed her lips, nodding gently, "I'll listen to you, Chairman."

Soon.

Shen Qianqian and another police comrade drove over.

Lin Chuan and the Little Landlady went straight to the police station.

Upon arriving at the police station, the head of the Criminal Police Brigade, Hu Daqiang, personally received them, and Lin Chuan explained the whole story from beginning to end.

Also, he handed over the information about Huarun Company that he had investigated the previous night to the police.

Lin Chuan knew that it was unrealistic for him alone to tackle the entire Morgan Group's claws in Anling; cooperating with the police would enable a broader crackdown and a stronger force for arrests.

At the same time, it was also safer.

...

Anzhou Pharmaceutical, the pharmacy manufacturing plant.

In the basement, Yu Keke directed her subordinates to transport the newly produced 'drugs'.

At that moment, a middle-aged woman dressed in a beige cheongsam with a white lab coat draped over and high heels, wearing heavy makeup, walked over.

This person was Liu Meng.

"Miss Yu, were you looking for me?" Liu Meng approached Yu Keke and smiled.

Yu Keke looked up at Liu Meng, her mouth curving up, and pointed to the batch of 'addictive drugs' in front of her, "President Liu, I've put you in the position of General Manager for the Han River District not only to take down Lin Chuan but also to ensure there are no issues with the transportation of these goods!"

Liu Meng responded brightly, "Miss Yu, don't worry, I used to do this overseas, and I guarantee there won't be any problems."

"The environment overseas is not the same as it is domestically!" Yu Keke huffed.

"After I arrived at the Han River, I personally visited the main heads of those channels and made sure everything was clear," Liu Meng said with a laugh.

"It's best that way."

Yu Keke nodded, then shifted the topic, "Any progress with Lin Chuan?"

As soon as Lin Chuan was mentioned, Liu Meng's expression changed, and she shook her head, "No progress."

"What about your daughter, Zhang Xinxin?" Yu Keke pressed on.

"Also no." Liu Meng shook her head again.

"Still no?" Yu Keke frowned.

Liu Meng immediately explained, "Miss Yu, it's been over a decade since I separated from her; the blood bond has long been diluted. You saw it yourself last time at the cafe, she was indifferent towards me."

With that, she let out a sigh.

Yu Keke's eyes were icy, "Come with me."

Liu Meng nodded and followed Yu Keke into the underground office.

A cold expression surfaced on Yu Keke's delicate face, "Now, there is no progress on the Lin Chuan line; what do you propose we do?"

After pondering for a moment, Liu Meng said, "This Lin Chuan, he's just a web novel writer, what abilities does he have to make Miss Yu so concerned?"

"You might as well ask that question to your daughter," Yu Keke said coldly.

Liu Meng fell silent, "Do we have to make Lin Chuan join us?"

"If he doesn't join, he will only have one way out—death. That is the group's intention," Yu Keke said gravely.

Liu Meng raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

"Since you can't handle it, I'm telling you, you will arrange to meet your daughter tonight," Yu Keke's eyes bore into Liu Meng.

Liu Meng, visibly less imposing than Yu Keke, swallowed and asked timidly, "Are we to use Zhang Xinxin to threaten Lin Chuan?"

"What do you think?" Yu Keke said indifferently.

"Is there anything else I need to do?" Liu Meng asked.

"No need, I will make arrangements," Yu Keke's gaze was fierce, her plan already forming in her mind.
