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

"Not so poorly written, let me see your criminal evidence!"

Lucas snorted lightly.

He continued to read.

'Yan Jing, founder of Yan Group and current chairman, his business interests include real estate, hotels, import and export trade, and he's the leading figure of the Eastern Business District.'

'This mission is highly challenging.'

'Not just because it's dangerous.'

'Before the mission began, Qin patted my shoulder with deep concern and said in dialect, "Dear Falcon, this is your first battle, you can only succeed, not fail."'

'I rolled my eyes at him. "Where's the information on Yan Jing?"'

'Qin gave an embarrassed laugh and handed me a stack of documents.'

'Yes, a stack, about sixty centimeters high.'

I was shocked, "This much?"

'Qin smiled, "Heh, this is after we've condensed the information. Take a look first, and after that, come up with a specific action plan."'

I asked, "Am I to come up with it alone?"

Qin naturally replied, "Of course, if you want to become an ace agent, you can't be a puppet of the agency; instead you need to craft the most perfect plan based on your own circumstances and execute it flawlessly."'

'I heavily criticized him in my mind.'

'After going back, I stayed up all night to finish the stack of documents and roughly understood the person Yan Jing is.'

'Despite his name, he is indeed very meticulous and has a strong sense of caution.'

'The agency had previously sent out two exceptionally capable individuals to infiltrate the Yan Group, but unfortunately, both ended in failure.'

'By failure, I don't mean their identities were exposed, but rather that after spending two years, they didn't even make it into management, let alone get close to Yan Jing himself to gather evidence on him.'

'Only then did I realize that Qin didn't really expect me to complete the mission.'

"This is too difficult!"

Lucas furrowed his brows.

Yu Qin had hinted before, the Mr. Lin in the book equals Lin Chuan in reality.

The actions of Mr. Lin are likely the true thoughts of Lin Chuan, a method of understanding people through reading.

"What would Lin Chuan do?"

Lucas was puzzled and curious as to how Lin Chuan would overcome Yan Jing, uncover his criminal evidence, and reveal his true identity—the hidden mastermind behind the eastern criminal organization.

Lucas tried to put himself in the shoes.

— If Yan Jing had a daughter, why not get closer to her and gather key information through her?

Maybe even turn her against him?

He continued reading.

'Yan Jing has a daughter named Yan Ruyu.'

'From the photos, she is very pretty, has fair skin, and looks quite spirited, 20 years old, not deeply involved.'

Lucas's expression brightened, "Is this your idea, Lin Chuan? Nothing special, I could've thought of that tactic myself."

He picked up his cup and took a sip, continuing to enjoy Lin Chuan's 'performance'.

'Logically, I should get close to Yan Ruyu.'

'Approaching her is the fastest way to complete the mission.'

'But!'

'Only a fool would choose that method!'

Lucas spit out his water angrily and cursed, "F*ck, calling me a fool!"

"Just read the book, why make such a fuss?"

Yu Qin looked down on Lucas with disdain.

Huffing, Lucas snorted again, thinking to himself, Lin Chuan, I'm eager to see what better method you, the so-called fool, have?

'As Yan Jing's daughter, Yan Ruyu would make anyone trying to get close to her a target of hostility by Yan Jing, added to his blacklist, or at minimum, screened thoroughly.'

'This method is the most efficient, but also the hardest to implement.'

'I passed on Yan Ruyu.'

'After repeatedly checking Yan Jing's network, I chose my target person.'

'—His secretary, Zhou Yun.'

Lucas nearly exploded in rage.

Tell me! How different is it approaching his female secretary Zhou Yun from approaching his daughter Yan Ruyu?

'Zhou Yun is a woman in her thirties, not particularly good-looking, but has stuck with Yan Jing for ten years.'

'I thoroughly investigated Zhou Yun's background, she fell in love with her husband in college and got married after six years, with one daughter, currently 7 years old, but her husband, unfortunately, died in a car accident before the child was born.'

'I quickly had a plan in mind.'

'I remember clearly, at that time, I patted my chest and guaranteed Qin that I would definitely complete the mission.'

'Qin looked at me with a complex expression, but just laughed.'

'The mission begins!'

"I arrived in the city where Yan Group is located, but my first task wasn't to trouble Yan Group."

"I came to a primary school."

"Zhou Yun's daughter had just started elementary school, and I stood at a distance, watching Zhou Yun drop off and pick up her daughter."

"It was clear that she deeply loved her daughter."

"Each time she picked up her daughter, she brought her daughter's favorite mini-cakes."

"But, she was slight of build and looked timid."

"As one might expect."

"I became the patrolling security guard at this school."

At this point,

Lucas was dumbfounded.

Security guard?

Being a security guard at a school, and this had miles to do with investigating Yan Jing, the chairman of Yan Group!

I'll see how you make this up!

Lucas muttered disdainfully and continued reading.

"Being a patrolling security guard was perfect for my mission."

"It had enough distance from Yan Group, so far removed that Yan Jing wouldn't suspect that someone would start investigating him from being a school security guard."

"Only I knew that as a patrolling security guard, I could get close to Zhou Yun."

"Because Zhou Yun's daughter was always bullied at school, and I, with just a slight intervention, could stop the bullying."

"Finally, one month later."

"Zhou Yun's daughter pointed at me and said to Zhou Yun, 'Mom, this uncle is amazing, can he be my dad?'"

"Ahem, kids say the darndest things."

"Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment, and then her daughter explained how I had stopped the bullying at school."

"By then, I had first gotten to know Zhou Yun."

"She invited me to dinner as a thank you."

"I declined."

"Because I was a school's patrolling security guard, and stopping bullying among children was part of my duty; rashly accepting her invitation would have raised suspicion."

"Two more weeks passed."

"It was Zhou Yun's daughter's birthday, and she pleaded with me to come to their house for dinner."

"I couldn't refuse Zhou Yun any longer, so I went."

"At this point, the first step of the plan was achieved."

"..."

At this point,

Lucas slapped his own face and sharply inhaled, utterly astonished.

"What's the matter?"

Yu Qin, sitting across the desk, looked up at Lucas and asked.

"Such deep scheming!" Lucas sighed heavily.

"Are you talking about Mr. Lin?" Yu Qin blinked.

Lucas nodded solemnly, "To be precise, it's Lin Chuan, Mr. Lin is his fabricated persona, the real scheming person is Lin Chuan!"

"I told you before, never underestimate Lin Chuan!" Yu Qin said.

Yu Qin was taken aback, "I let you read a novel, and now you want to switch sides?"

—

"I've been lucky to work as an agent for 30 years, undertaken 72 missions, failed none, succeeded all."

"Within the circle, they call me the highest mountain among agents."

"Funny, isn't it?"

"Initially, I never thought about becoming an agent."

"The tale starts back in my university days."

"My university was in the south, majoring in intelligence studies, a rather niche field, probably unknown to many friends."

"Originally, I just wanted to stay in the background and handle intelligence."

"Unfortunately, I was handsome."

"But, there are exceptions."

"Female agents are often favored by some spy organizations, after all, beauty tricks never weary."

"Similarly, thus, a beautiful man also had his market."

"In fact, it was indeed the case; in my agent career, out of 72 missions, as many as 30 targets were women."

"Beauty tricks for men, also never failed."
