Chapter 131: Chapter 125 He Really is a Criminal Genius! (Seeking Subscriptions)_2
Of course, at that time, there wasn’t much I could learn.
But seeing one broken relic after another being restored to its original state gave me a sense of relief, a soothing feeling.
It shared a certain ingenious connection with cleaning carpets and paring horse hooves.
Looking at it now, Old Bai’s skills still fall short and need improvement.
After hearing this, Zhou Tong turned to look at Shen Qianqian.
Shen Qianqian nodded slightly in agreement and testified, “Although Old Bai was scammed by an online romance, he really does have talent in antique restoration.”
“I didn’t expect Comrade Lin Chuan’s readers to be so excellent,” Zhou Tong muttered to himself.
“I was just basking in reflected glory,” Lin Chuan said modestly.
The ins and outs of the incident, the causes and effects, were now completely clear through the Q&A between the two parties.
Shen Qianqian, as an old acquaintance of Lin Chuan, couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him.
This guy!
Others, when caught in antique fraud, would consider themselves lucky to escape unscathed.
But not him; instead, he managed to fleece the swindlers out of millions.
She thought to herself that this person, who seemingly focused on being a web novel writer, actually had many side hustles.
Lock-picking, swindling, hacking, and now even antique forgery!
So criminal!
He truly is a criminal genius!
To Shen Qianqian, Lin Chuan felt like a bag of treasures, always able to pull out something different, surprising her every time.
Shen Qianqian really wanted to drag Lin Chuan away, then ‘bang’ lock him up in a dark room, strap him to a tiger bench so that he couldn’t move, and then interrogate him harshly until she stripped all his secrets bare!
She wondered whether he had any other hidden skills that had yet to be revealed?
Sigh—
Zhou Tong also took a deep breath.
He momentarily calmed his emotions, took a deep breath, and said with a smile,
“Comrade Lin Chuan, the chief always reminded me not to let you commit any crimes, but when you ‘committed’ one, you caused such a big stir!”
At this moment, a smile appeared on Shen Qianqian’s face as she defended Lin Chuan, “Director Zhou, Comrade Lin Chuan’s actions are not fraud, they should be considered ‘recovery of stolen money’, and that is a major meritorious performance!”
“Yes, yes, Comrade Lin Chuan has made a major contribution indeed!”
Zhou Tong began to laugh.
Meanwhile, the Little Landlady sat quietly beside Lin Chuan, suppressing her smile, silently admiring his handsome and elegant face, and feeling honored as she listened to Zhou Tong and Shen Qianqian praising Lin Chuan.
My company’s chairman is really so criminal!
At this moment.
‘Ding-dong ding-dong’
In his pocket, Lin Chuan’s phone vibrated, indicating a special message notification.
Upon seeing it, Lin Chuan’s expression slightly changed, his eyebrows furrowed, and he then looked seriously at Zhou Tong and Shen Qianqian, saying, “It’s a segment of a phone conversation from Liu Qing’s mobile phone.”
Earlier, he hacked into the mobile phones of President Li and Liu Qing, planted a covert trojan, and accessed a large amount of related information.
The related evidence was also extracted from there.
“Let’s listen,” Zhou Tong said with a tightened expression.
Lin Chuan nodded his head.
Suddenly, the sound of Liu Qing’s phone conversation came from the mobile phone.
Beep—
“Have you got the item?” a raspy, processed voice asked.
“I’ve got it, that kid really has some skills,” Liu Qing’s voice replied.
“As long as the item is genuine, that’s what matters.”
“After several rigorous authentications, it’s confirmed to be the real deal.”
“I’ve arranged for someone, tonight at seven, the usual place.”
“Received.”
The call ended, very brief.
Zhou Tong’s face turned tense, and he looked at Lin, “Comrade Lin, can you trace the source of this call?”
The source of the call would be the key.
After a moment’s thought, Lin said, “This is a virtual call, with an IP address that has been forged and passed through multiple transfers. To track it… thus, I need a computer.”
“Use mine.”
Shen Qianqian, aware of Lin Chuan’s hacking skills, immediately offered her assistance.
Now it was 5:21 p.m.
There was still 1 hour and 39 minutes until 7 p.m.
Time was pressing.
Lin Chuan didn’t hesitate, promptly taking a seat at Shen Qianqian’s computer, opening the laptop, remotely connecting, and controlling his rented room computer, linking up the data.
The computer in his rented room had programs that Lin Chuan had written.
These could save a lot of time typically spent on writing and inputting codes.
Lin Chuan’s hands moved swiftly, constantly striking the keyboard, elegant code flowing across the screen line by line, page by page.
In the meantime, Zhou Tong and Shen Qianqian weren’t idle either.
Zhou Tong immediately tasked people with analyzing the evidence previously provided by Lin Chuan and then reported to Chief Zhang Biao.
With past experience in cooperating with Lin Chuan in Lincang, Shen Qianqian promptly sent a message to Xia Qingqing of the Cyber Security Detachment, starting the process of formally documenting the procedures for Lin Chuan’s previous intrusion into Liu Qing and President Li’s mobile phones.
With official procedures, it’s called investigation.
Without them, it’s called illegal intrusion.
While executing justice, the processes mattered too, to avoid giving others a handle to criticize.
The entire Anling Anti-Fraud Center suddenly sprang into high gear during the typically sleepy afternoon.
This case was far-reaching.
It was related to an antique fraud gang in Anling City, the fraud factories in the Myanmar area, and a whole black industry chain involving fraud and money laundering.
It was a significant case!
After Zhou Tong arranged the necessary tasks, he quietly stood behind Lin Chuan, waiting for the results of the trace, ready to act immediately upon obtaining the outcome!
At this time.
Lin Chuan’s gaze was intently fixed on the computer screen, focused on tracing and identifying one IP address after another.
Virtual calls, also known as temporary numbers, are provided by some service providers offering temporary phone numbers to protect users’ real phone numbers from disclosure, common in online transactions, short-term rentals, or fraudulent activities.
