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

Concerning Lin Chuan, Lucas and Yu Qin immediately turned their heads to look at the secretary.

The secretary swallowed hard and continued, "He, he released a novel."

"Released a novel?"

Lucas's face froze for a moment, then he furrowed his brows, "What's all the fuss about releasing a novel, get out of here."

The secretary shrank back, about to turn and leave.

Unexpectedly, Yu Qin called out to her, "What new book did Lin Chuan release?"

The secretary hurriedly said, "It's a novel called 'Ace Agent.' The Chinese version was released on Sailing Novel, and the English version was released on the Sailing Novel international app."

Yu Qin pondered for a moment, murmuring softly, "Ace Agent... could he actually be an agent?"

That was her subconscious reaction.

"Ah?"

Lucas opened his mouth slightly, puzzled, "Lin Chuan an agent, isn't that preposterous?"

"Don't you understand speculation?"

Yu Qin gave him a disdainful look, thinking to herself, what a pigheaded teammate!

"Um." Lucas chuckled awkwardly, a bit embarrassed, then questioned back, "Yu, we can't just assume his identity based on what novel he writes, can we?"

Yu Qin pursed her lips, already less willing to converse with Lucas, "Have you read Lin Chuan's novel?"

Lucas opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, "I've read a bit."

Yu Qin furrowed her brows as she looked at Lucas, asking in confusion, "How did you become the head of the Asia-Pacific Branch?"

Lucas immediately straightened up, sternly saying, "The main business of the Asia-Pacific Branch is gambling, addictive drugs; these are my strengths."

"Alright, then."

Yu Qin was somewhat helplessly, "There's a saying: 'Know thyself, know thy enemy, a hundred battles will end in no defeat.' Lin Chuan loves writing novels. If you had read his comment section, you'd know that his readers call them 'autobiography,' 'criminal record.'"

Lucas seemed enlightened, nodding his head, "So, his novels are a way to understand him?"

"What else?"

Yu Qin's expression was cold as she took another sip of coffee, telling herself to stay calm despite having a pigheaded teammate, and that even fighting alone, she could take down Lin Chuan.

Taking out Lin Chuan, she could not only get her order from the headscarf guy back but also divide up Lin Chuan's existing interests.

At this moment.

Lucas looked at the secretary, "You just said, on what app can I find Lin Chuan's new book?"

The secretary, who had been standing by, immediately replied, "General Manager, you can see the novel on the international version of Sailing Novel."

"Oh, is it only published on this one app?" Lucas casually asked.

The secretary thought for a moment, "There's another app called 'Mars Novels,' it's a company registered locally in Southeast Asia, and Lin Chuan's new book 'Ace Agent' is also available there."

"Okay then, do you have anything else to report?" Lucas asked.

"That's all."

"Then you can go. I'll get to know this so-called web novel writer, Lin Chuan."

Lucas waved his hand and then took out his phone from his pocket.

He had already downloaded the international app for Sailing Novel but had never really opened Lin Chuan's novel due to his busy schedule.

Usually, he didn't read novels.

In the glitzy world, for him, the head of the Asia-Pacific Branch of the Morgan Group, reading novels would be odd indeed.

Now it was different.

Reading Lin Chuan's novel had become a task.

Just so, his knee was injured; he probably would spend some time in a wheelchair, so he might as well get the task of reading novels done.

Lucas picked up a cup of lukewarm water, took a sip, changed his medication, then slumped in the wheelchair, opened Sailing Novel, and without searching, the opening screen was Lin Chuan's "Ace Agent."

The opening screen displayed the novel's cover.

The cover was very simple, just an ordinary-looking file folder with 'Name: Mr. Lin,' 'Occupation: Agent,' 'Rank: SSS' written on it.

There was also a red stamp: Security Bureau, top secret.

Lucas, with full resentment toward Lin Chuan, sneered, "The cover's done up all official-looking, those who don't know would really think he's an ace agent."

Yu Qin glanced at Lucas, "What if he really is one?"

"Is that possible? How old is he?"

Lucas fundamentally didn't believe it.

He had searched for Lin Chuan's information; he was only 25 years old. At that age, could one have so many careers?

Both a hacker and an arms tycoon, now also an agent - he couldn't have learned all that from the womb!

"Don't jump to conclusions just yet," Yu Qin said indifferently before turning her head to start reading the novel.

Lucas tapped on the illuminated cover, quickly switching to the novel's page.

He hadn't even started reading when he suddenly asked, "Yu, this novel requires a subscription, have you subscribed?"

"How else would I read it?"

Yu Qin looked at Lucas like he was a little fool.

"F*ck, I've got to subscribe and give him money!" Lucas cursed resentfully.

Yu Qin unusually did not retort.

What Lucas said made some crooked sense.

She had subscribed to every single one of Lin Chuan's novels, and by that action alone, she could definitely be called a true fan.

But she was from the opposition!

After thinking for a moment, she said, "If you don't want to subscribe, isn't there another novel app you can use to see if it requires payment?"

"Mars Novels..." Lucas muttered.

Suddenly, he froze, a question flashing through his mind.

"What's wrong?" Yu Qin asked.

Lucas furrowed his brow, "Yu, don't you find it strange that the Mars Novels app has Lin Chuan's new books? Why?"

Yu Qin's thoughts hadn't been on this matter.

But with Lucas bringing it up, she too started frowning, a look of confusion appearing on her face.

Indeed, the "ace agent" had just been published, and Mars Novels could also shelve the novel immediately—it was very strange!

"Wait!"

A light of realization flashed across Yu Qin's eyes.

"Did you figure something out?" Lucas inquired.

Yu Qin rarely revealed a smile, "This Mars Novels is deeply connected to Lin Chuan. The secretary just said it's registered in Southeast Asia—investigate it immediately!"

Lucas's brain also began to function, and he called the secretary back in, immediately instructing to thoroughly investigate this Mars Novels and uncover its true nature.

This discovery was like a crack on the icy surface in the bitter winter month.

Breaking the ice became hopeful!

"You've woken up," Yu Qin complimented.

Lucas felt his mood lift slightly and said with a smile, "Let's read, let's read. Once I've completely understood Lin Chuan, I'll take him down hard!"

Immediately.

He downloaded Mars Novels and started reading "ace agent" on Mars Novels.

This was not a paid subscription model for the novel app; the interface was largely the same as Fries Novel, with ads.

However, the income generated by a single person viewing ads was much lower than the income from subscribing to "Arms Tycoon," but Lucas didn't care about that anymore, immersing himself in reading.

'Name: Mr. Lin.'

'Age: 24.'

'Gender: Male.'

'Occupation: Agent.'

'Codename: Falcon.'

'Affiliated Institution: Security Bureau.'

'Rank: SSS.'

'As you can see, the above is my basic information.'

'...'

Lucas was the boss.

Bosses have a bad habit of liking to critique.

He had only read the beginning of the novel, and he had already started criticizing, "This isn't written very well!"

Yu Qin gave him a fierce glare, "Why don't you write it?"

"If I turned my life into a novel, that would be the real crime record, an autobiography!" Lucas said with his head tilted back, a bit of pride on his face.

"Then you would be arrested worldwide!"

Yu Qin didn't spare Lucas any face, saying it directly.

Lucas paused, then retorted, "Why isn't Lin Chuan arrested?"
