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

"My plan succeeded halfway."

"Then,"

"I started fanning the flames."

"The driver's information appeared in the hands of a high-ranking official within the Yan Group, a confidant of Yan Jing named Zhang Cheng. Coincidentally, it was discovered by Zhou Yun."

"With my personal resources, there was no way I could reach that level, but Qin could."

"Afterward, I arranged for Zhou Yun to accidentally encounter the driver on the phone again."

"The driver was secretive, and Zhou Yun only heard phrases like 'President Zhang,' 'final payment,' 'I bumped into her last time,' 'I want to leave here,' 'if she finds out, I'm dead for sure.'"

"Zhou Yun wanted to confront him and ask what was going on, but the driver ran off immediately."

"Zhou Yun then found the driver's residence but it was empty, with no sign of the driver."

"From then on, Zhou Yun never saw the driver again."

"Suspicion had taken root and was sprouting in Zhou Yun's heart."

"..."

Mr. Lin's step-by-step plan, its execution, unfolded before Lucas's eyes.

Zhou Yun naturally suspected Zhang Cheng, Yan Jing's confidant, thereby walking step by step onto the path Mr. Lin had laid out for her.

— Investigate Yan Jing.

As for Yan Jing, he was utterly unaware of Mr. Lin's existence.

In Mr. Lin's scheme, Zhou Yun was the key breakthrough.

Lucas was completely absorbed in Mr. Lin's layout, his brows tightly furrowed, as if trying to fathom the intricacies of each step of the plan.

Until Yan Jing was caught, Mr. Lin had perfectly completed this mission.

Lucas, with eyes wide as copper bells, opened his mouth and finally blurted out two Chinese words: "Holy shit!"

By the time he snapped out of the story, Yu Qin, who was sitting opposite him, had already put down her phone, her expression complex.

She had also finished the part about Yan Jing's situation.

"I don't know what level this is among agents, but the step-by-step heart-stopping tightness, the tightly interlocking plan, so flawless, what had me most on edge was Zhou Yun's search for evidence against Yan Jing. If that crucial step hadn't been done right, it would have meant the whole mission was a failure!" Yu Qin pursed her lips as she spoke.

Lucas had paid close attention to the story and was familiar with every detail.

He nodded in agreement with Yu Qin's statement, "If it had been me, I could have only gotten this far."

Yu Qin was taken aback by Lucas's comment and couldn't help but give him a look, "Don't flatter yourself; you would only think to go after Yan Jing's daughter."

Lucas shrank his neck, looking sullen.

Yu Qin was spot on; that was exactly what he had been thinking.

"Now it seems this Lin Chuan is indeed somewhat capable, a worthy adversary indeed," Lucas shamelessly remarked.

Yu Qin huffed softly, "The next move is up to you."

"Uh."

Lucas chuckled, "We are a team, and besides, this whole situation started because of Keke, so you make the call."

His mind was racing, Good grief, face this monster?

I feel I'm already slightly outdone just by his agent performance; what if I lose to him? Wouldn't that ruin my reputation for life?

You take the lead, I won't take the fall!

Yu Qin calmed her emotions, setting aside the idea of an "ace agent," and began discussing with Lucas how to deal with Lin Chuan and what actions to take.

Three events lay before them:

The National Weapons Research Institute was suing Sania, claiming 30 billion dollars in damages.

Steve and Karl had both been arrested.

Lin Chuan had snatched a large number of weapon orders from Yu Qin.

At the core of these three events, the target pointed to one person.

— Lin Chuan.

Meaning, if they could take down Lin Chuan, everything would fall into place.

"Yu, if you ask me, we could take two approaches," Lucas said, sitting in his wheelchair and presenting his thoughts.

"Let's hear it," Yu Qin mused.

"One, contact headquarters' ace killer directly for a decapitation strike on Lin Chuan," Lucas said, his eyes flashing with a trace of murderous intent.

Despite his praise for Lin Chuan, the hate was real!

He even attributed the injury to his knee to Lin Chuan.

Yu Qin frowned in thought, picked up her coffee, and took a sip.

After a long pause, she finally spoke, "And the second?"

"The second is, we send someone close to Lin Chuan, or to people around him. He claims to be an ace agent, but he must have vulnerabilities, right?" Lucas said without hesitation.

He might not be skilled in intellectual maneuvers.

But straightforward methods like these? He had used them plenty of times.

Against competitors, enemies—they had never failed him.

Otherwise, he never could have become the "Head of the Asia-Pacific Branch for the Morgan Group."

Yu Qin glanced at Lucas and responded with a serious tone, "While your methods are straightforward, remember that Anling is his turf; it won't be so easy to operate there."

Lucas looked a bit dejected and sighed lightly, "Let's think further."

Knock, knock, knock.

At that moment, a beautiful and seductive female secretary gently knocked on the office door.

Lucas turned his wheelchair and asked, "What is it?"

"General Manager, I have a new finding regarding Mars Novels, which you asked me to investigate," the secretary said with a hint of excitement and joy.

Lucas's eyes lit up, eager, "Go on."

The secretary closed the door, walked quickly into the office, approached Lucas and Yu Qin, and reported, "General Manager, Miss Yu, we found out that Mars Novels' registered address is right in our city; its original identity is Fries Novel..."

"Fries Novel, I seem to remember that website," Lucas muttered.

Yu Qin frowned slightly, "We've searched for two employees of Fries Novel before, one named Hao, one named Hou; they provided us with the information that Leo contacted Lin Chuan."
