Chapter 150: Kill! 2

This chapter is updated by Novels.pl

Zhou Tong didn’t take credit but looked towards Shen Qianqian and explained, “Director Zhang, first thing in the morning, Officer Shen told me that she had discovered important clues.”

“Shen?”

Zhang Biao turned his head and looked at Shen Qianqian, with an inquiring expression.

Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, “Director Zhang, I have no idea who provided it. This morning when I opened my email, I found this message from an unknown source.”

“You don’t know either?” A flash of surprise crossed Zhang Biao’s face.

Shen Qianqian shook her head.

“Who do you think it might be?” Zhang Biao thought for a moment and then asked.

“It might be, I think it could possibly be …”

Shen Qianqian hesitated for a moment.

In her heart, she believed there was a very high possibility it was Lin Chuan.

She and Lin Chuan had both dealt with the Old Street Factory District.

Therefore, she knew very clearly the reason why ‘last night the Old Street Factory District sent out ten assassins to attack Lin Chuan’: Lin Chuan had taken down two gangs in succession, causing enormous losses for the Old Street Factory District.

In Yundian Lincang, fifteen people were arrested.

At Green Leaf Ceramic Factory by the Han River in Anling, key figures from the ‘Old Street Factory District’ like Sister Mei, Li Xin, and Old Wolf were arrested.

From all the signs she knew of so far, it showed that Lin Chuan was the most likely person to have obtained the document; thus, it was hard for her not to think in his direction.

“Is it him?”

Zhang Biao looked at Shen Qianqian and asked.

Shen Qianqian thought for a moment and nodded, “That’s just my speculation.”

“Alright, I understand now,” Zhang Biao took a deep breath.

In Zhang Biao’s heart, the image of Lin Chuan also emerged. With Lin Chuan’s ability to single-handedly turn the tide and crush the AW hacker force, he indeed might be able to ‘obtain’ this document.

But since the sender was anonymous and untraceable, Zhang Biao didn’t probe further.

“Immediately organize personnel to conduct a strict review of this document. I will allocate network technicians to work with you and verify its authenticity.”

In a short time, Zhang Biao had a clear direction in mind.

The entire Anti-Fraud Center, along with the network technicians that were brought in, immediately started a rigorous review of the document.

To determine its authenticity.

It wasn’t until lunchtime that the verification of the document was completed.

In Director Zhang’s office.

Shen Qianqian, holding a thick file and several USB drives, came to the office, placed them on Zhang Biao’s desk, and reported:

“Director Zhang, here are the supporting materials, and the USB drives contain backup files.”

Zhang Biao, dressed in a white shirt, sitting in front of his desk, nodded with satisfaction and asked, “Is the verification finished?”

Shen Qianqian nodded, “It has all been verified. We matched the personnel information of the factory district; it all adds up. As for the veracity of the fraud records, we liaised with the Anti-Fraud Centers in various locations. Apart from the three cases where no police reports were filed, the rest match the related cases exactly, money laundering…”

The contents of the report were lengthy, covering the ‘Old Street Factory District’s personnel list, fraud records, money laundering transaction records, and main business activities, among others.

The document was verified to be true!

Sigh—

Shen Qianqian finished speaking and took a long sigh of relief.

Zhang Biao personally poured a glass of water for Shen Qianqian and handed it to her with a smile, “This document is too important. You did a great job. I’ll make sure to acknowledge your efforts, as well as those of the Anti-Fraud Center.”

“It’s our duty,” Shen Qianqian said with a smile on her face.

Zhang Biao picked up his thermos, took a sip of tea, then smiled and asked Shen Qianqian, “By the way, how is Comrade Lin doing now?”

Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, “I haven’t been in touch since I dropped him off last night, but he should be alright.”

Zhang Biao nodded with a smile, “Last night I heard from Hu Daqiang of the Criminal Police Brigade that Comrade Lin’s combat skills are extraordinary. He took down ten criminals by himself. Quite impressive indeed.”

“I didn’t expect him to be so… remarkable,” Shen Qianqian forced a laugh.

She used to think Lin Chuan looked rather slim and, coupled with the ‘Internet Writer’ persona, which came with an aura of being ‘too weak to truss a chicken,’ she had thought she could easily overpower him.

But based on last night’s scene, Lin Chuan could easily have knocked her down without breaking a sweat.

No chance to even retaliate.

“You could learn a thing or two from him,” Zhang Biao said with a smile.

“I’m already learning from him,” Shen Qianqian said, her eyes bright with a beaming smile.

“Also, tell him that I’ll be closely monitoring the movements in the ‘Old Street Factory District’ during this time, so he needn’t worry about another attack,” Zhang Biao said to Shen Qianqian with a tone that was markedly earnest.

“Director Zhang, I will pass on the message,” Shen Qianqian nodded.

After Shen Qianqian left the office.

Zhang Biao’s gaze fell upon the thick stack of supporting materials and a USB flash drive.

The appearance of a document about the confidential information of the “Old Street Factory District” undoubtedly served as a powerful stimulant for the Anling Anti-Fraud Center.

The effect was extraordinarily shocking!

However, Zhang Biao, being in a high position, was well aware that this was no longer just about combating fraud in a single district!

The Anling Police Station could not digest this document either!

Therefore, he picked up the telephone and put it to his ear, his fingers quickly dialing a string of numbers.

‘Dudu…’

The call connected.

Zhang Biao immediately said, “Elder Zhong, there has been a new development regarding the incident I reported to you last night about ‘Lin Chuan’s encounter with thugs at the Old Street Factory District’.”

On the other end of the phone, Zhong Chengming raised his eyebrows, “Have you found any relevant clues about the ‘Old Street Factory District’?”

He had high hopes for Lin Chuan.

Whether it was using his advanced computer skills to defeat the hacker organization AW, developing the anti-fraud app, or arresting fifteen fraudsters in Yundian Lincang, all had made Zhong Chengming take notice of him.

There was even a bit of favoritism.

And this attack on Lin Chuan made Zhong Chengming even more determined to intensify the anti-fraud efforts.

Even the consideration of using armed force was on the table.

The Old Street Factory District had become too brazen, and Elder Zhong wanted to round up the gangs within the district in one fell swoop, to set an example!

That was also why he had instructed Zhang Biao to conduct an investigation related to the ‘Old Street Factory District’.

“Elder Zhong, we have completely mastered the information about the ‘Old Street Factory District’,” Zhang Biao reported truthfully.

“Completely mastered?”

Elder Zhong’s eyebrows furrowed, his expression slightly stunned.

It had been only about ten hours since last night’s assignment, could the Anling Police Station really have unraveled all the secrets of the ‘Old Street Factory District’ in this short time?

“Yes, we indeed have completely mastered the information about the ‘Old Street Factory District’,” Zhang Biao confirmed again and stated truthfully, “But it wasn’t from our investigation; it came from a mysterious document.”

“A mysterious document?”

A hint of puzzlement surfaced between Elder Zhong’s brows.

Zhang Biao continued to report:

“Yes, this morning, our Anling City Anti-Fraud Center officer Shen Qianqian received an email from an unknown source. It detailed the ‘Old Street Factory District’ information, including its business operations, personnel list, fraud records, etc.”

“It also contains information about the gangs of the ‘Old Street Factory District’ within our borders. We spent the morning verifying these details, confirming the authenticity of the information.”

A flicker of surprise passed through Elder Zhong’s eyes, “The timing of this document’s appearance is too coincidental.”

“Elder Zhong, what do you mean?”

Zhang Biao swallowed and asked.

“Is it possible to trace the sender?” Zhong pondered for a moment, then asked.

“It’s difficult, our cyber technicians tried to track it, but all attempts ended in vain,” Zhang Biao replied.

Hearing this, Elder Zhong chuckled, “There aren’t many people who could elude your cyber technicians.”

“Indeed, there aren’t many.”

Zhang Biao laughed heartily.

Both were playing a guessing game, understanding without saying a word.

No one would utter this name because, once the document appeared in public view, everyone would focus on the source of the document, including the factory district!

“Hold on, I have a situation here,” Elder Zhong suddenly ended the call.

At this moment.

A police officer came forward to report, “Elder Zhong, there is a significant special situation regarding the ‘Old Street Factory District’ that you instructed us to monitor.”

“Speak quickly!”

Elder Zhong’s eyebrows twisted, his tone slightly urgent.

Today, it’s one thing after another concerning the Old Street Factory District.

The police officer said, “Old Bao from the Old Street Factory District was mysteriously killed at 10:36 this morning.”
