Chapter 333: Chapter 226: Copy Everything? (Five Thousand Word Chapter)

Two days later, on September 10th.

It had already passed the 'Start of Autumn,' but before the 'Autumnal Equinox,' the lingering heat of summer was still persistent, and Anling City was still enveloped in intense heat.

However, the morning was cool, the sun not yet fierce, and a gentle breeze brought a hint of coolness, with a layer of thin mist slowly drifting in the breeze.

Lin Chuan took a ride in Shen Qianqian's car to Anling Court.

Today, the Yu Keke case was being heard in court.

"The court is now in session, please have all parties and participants take their seats," announced the judge, his voice firm and commanding.

Lin Chuan took his place on the witness stand.

He was the main witness and key figure in the case, and his presence was essential to corroborate evidence at Yu Keke's trial.

After a long time.

Lin Chuan saw Yu Keke again.

Yu Keke, dressed in dark blue casual clothes, was shackled and stood at the defendant's position.

The once high-profile general manager of Anzhou Pharmaceutical and hidden drug lord was without her usual radiance and beauty. Her Eurasian features remained beautiful and pale, but now they appeared lifeless. Although her hair was combed, several unruly strands hung down in disarray, giving her a fragile and exquisite beauty.

But Lin Chuan was not a man whose principles swayed with physical appearance; he felt no sympathy or pity for Yu Keke, just an indifferent gaze.

Yu Keke, standing in the dock, instantly noticed Lin Chuan.

She knew he would come.

It was somewhat like when, during school days, you walk into a classroom and instinctively look towards the seat of the person you're most concerned with.

However, Yu Keke's feelings toward Lin Chuan were not those of an innocent youthful crush, but rather a hidden regret and hatred.

A flash of light appeared in her dull eyes as she stared intently at Lin Chuan for a while, her face bearing an inscrutable smile.

"Please verify the identities of those in attendance," the judge said again.

The trial began.

The entire case proceeded smoothly.

As expected, Yu Keke, for her "extremely grave crimes and severe social impact," was sentenced to death for multiple offences and permanently deprived of her political rights.

As she heard the verdict, Yu Keke's face did not display shock or despair, instead, she glanced towards Lin Chuan, smiled faintly, then raised her right hand and made a slicing gesture across her neck before quickly being taken down.

This action made Lin Chuan frown slightly.

However.

For him, this case had come to a close.

"If it weren't for you, Anzhou Pharmaceutical could have been rooted in Anling for much longer," Shen Qianqian complimented Lin Chuan unusually as they left the court.

"Officer Shen is learning to give compliments; why not give a little more?"

Lin Chuan stood on the courthouse stairs, casually looked up, and saw the bright, clear sky.

Shen Qianqian, dressed in her police uniform, gave Lin Chuan a reproachful look and said with a huff, "I'm afraid you'll become arrogant!"

"Why would I become arrogant so easily?" Lin Chuan responded nonchalantly.

"That Yu Keke, she made a throat-slitting gesture at you in the end; it looks like she wants to harm you?" Shen Qianqian asked, changing the topic.

"Seems like it," Lin Chuan nodded.

After pondering, Shen Qianqian said, "I've looked into the Morgan Group; that crime syndicate is dangerous. I worry they might target you."

Lin Chuan walked down the stairs and laughed, "They're not so frightening."

"I just fear you're getting arrogant and complacent," Shen Qianqian chided while following Lin Chuan.

"Don't worry," Lin Chuan quickened his pace and got into the passenger seat of Shen Qianqian's car, fastening his seat belt.

"Be careful and let me know if anything comes up; I can be there in no time," said Shen Qianqian as she got into the car, started the engine, and prepared to drive Lin Chuan home.

Lin Chuan turned to look at Shen Qianqian and teased, "You're not just my exclusive chauffeur, you're almost becoming my personal bodyguard."

"Personal bodyguard..."

Shen Qianqian's lips curved into a slight smile, "Doesn't that mean you owe me two salaries?"

"If I paid you a salary, would you dare take it?"

Lin Chuan blinked and retorted.

Shen Qianqian snorted, "If you dare pay, I dare report you. Bribe a public servant and you'll get a taste of the jail cell and learn to behave."

Prison, a place that humbles the most defiant of hearts.

Lin Chuan complained, "Hope springs eternal."

Shen Qianqian smiled sweetly and changed the subject, "Let's talk serious business; has the military factory's license been approved?"

"It has," Lin Chuan nodded.

"That was fast?" Shen Qianqian sounded surprised.

"Special issues, special actions," Lin Chuan replied simply. Enjoy new adventures from M V L

"Did you 'sell yourself'?" Shen Qianqian suddenly asked.

Lin Chuan was taken aback, then chuckled, "What do you mean 'sell myself'? That's not a fitting analogy. You could get disciplined for that in formal settings."

"Are you already speaking like a bureaucrat?"

Shen Qianqian winked, her teasing evident.

Lin Chuan responded, "Otherwise, you're always on the lookout to catch me and send me to jail!"

"Did you really sell out?" Shen Qianqian asked.

Lin Chuan shook his head, "No, after thinking it over, it doesn't suit how I operate. Indeed, that title would make things easier, but it would also complicate other matters."

After Sun Cheng's proposal.

Lin Chuan thought it over for an entire night.

Yet, after much consideration, he decided to forgo taking a position at the Weapons Research Institute. There were too many things involved, and if past events resurfaced, it would only lead to more trouble.

For instance, the incident at the Old Street Factory District.

"I thought you would take a position at the Weapons Research Institute. It would make things much easier for the military factory," Shen Qianqian remarked.
