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

Chapter 48: A Writer, Snatching Jobs from Criminal Detectives?

Inside the live broadcast room.

Su Qianqian’s lips were tightly pressed, her gentle face, like a sweet-scented osmanthus, was slightly flushed, and her clear, water-like eyes showed visible anger.

Even a man of straw has his breaking point.

This gentle woman from Jiangnan Water Town had always been quietly livestreaming, never engaging in trending topics or competing with others for viewers, much less clout-chasing.

But the screen full of aggressive language had pushed her emotions to the brink of losing control.

[What kind of host is this, with no literary aesthetic sense at all!]

[How much money did the blogger take to even promote such a book?]

[Make money together, everyone!]

[…]

Su Qianqian finally couldn’t hold back anymore, stopped reading the novel, and said with a hint of anger in her eyes, “All you hired posters and haters, get out of my live broadcast room!”

Even Jiangnan can have its storms.

What about the girls from Jiangnan?

It was evident that the paid posters in the barrage were targeting her!

Or rather, targeting the novel she was promoting right now, “This Assassin Is Too Professional”.

Sailing Novel had commissioned her to promote this novel and draw in traffic, she couldn’t stop promoting it, otherwise, it would be a breach of contract.

Furthermore!

The plot of the novel was full of twists and intrigue, with dramatic ups and downs, particularly with its inclusion of forensic knowledge that compared to the professional level, which aligns perfectly with Su Qianqian’s reading taste.

She truly liked this book.

Inside the live broadcast room, Su Qianqian’s fans immediately echoed her sentiments.

[How has Qianqian offended you?]

[Qianqian has always been dutiful in her live broadcasts, show some decency!]

[Dare to bully my Qianqian, have the guts to leave your address, I’ll teach you a lesson offline in minutes!]

[…]

Seeing so many people supporting her, Su Qianqian’s anger subsided quite a bit.

But these online hired posters and haters were really annoying.

The room moderators were killing them at random, but it was impossible to ban them all!

Suddenly!

Su Qianqian noticed that the barrage was full of reminders to click on a link.

[Qianqian, click on this link quickly!]

[It’s time to annihilate the haters!]

[There’s a surprise in this link, trust me, Qianqian!]

[…]

These messages were sent by genuine fans, sporting their fan badges, and Su Qianqian’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

What’s so special about this link?

Now, with the live broadcast room filled with the oppressive and toxic atmosphere created by online troops and haters, Su Qianqian was no longer in the mood to continue reading the novel.

She might as well see what this link was about.

Su Qianqian straightened her slightly lazy hair and clicked on the link, which redirected her to a video on the TikTok-like platform.

‘Criminal Investigation Genius aids police in cracking the case within 48 hours, his identity turns out to be…’

‘Source: Anling News’

Su Qianqian took a deep breath, decided to ignore the haters’ comments in the barrage, clicked on the video, and started playing it.

In the video.

A second-rank police superintendent with two bars and three stars on his shoulder was being interviewed, with a squarish face and a deep voice he added, “Being able to catch the suspect within 48 hours this time owed a lot to the assistance of a criminal investigation genius…”

Su Qianqian pursed her lips.

Solving cases, criminal investigation genius, what does that have to do with novels or livestreaming?

In the barrage, the hired posters and haters were still active.

[That’s right, you should watch more positive energy case-solving videos!]

[Stop promoting those crime novels, they will corrupt our children!]

[Good, the blogger is finally seeing reason!]

[…]

But soon.

The haters started to lose their composure!

Because, when Hu Daqiang mentioned the ‘criminal investigation genius’ in the video, he smiled broadly, “You may not know, but this criminal investigation genius is actually a web novel writer.”]

Reporters from Anling News immediately asked, “Captain Hu, could you reveal which web novel writer it is?”

Hu Daqiang laughed heartily, “Of course, it’s his book ‘This Assassin Is Too Professional’ that has now become recommended reading for our Anling Criminal Investigation Brigade.”

The video continued to play.

Inside the live streaming room, the fans, haters, bystanders, and trolls were all stunned!

Su Qianqian was also stunned!

Her eyes wide with shock, her delicate, fair fingers clutched the mouse and quickly scrolled the video’s progress bar back to that moment.

Watch it again!

Su Qianqian and everyone in the live streaming room clearly heard the title ‘This Assassin Is Too Professional’!

Wow!

The live streaming room was full of ‘???’, ‘666’, and ‘Holy shit’ scrolling by.

Su Qianqian took a deep breath, her face showing a strong sense of surprise.

After a long silence.

She finally revealed a smile and spoke gently, “Let’s continue reading ‘This Assassin Is Too Professional’, and if you like it, feel free to subscribe.”

Triumphant, everything was left unsaid.

As for the anti-fans and trolls.

They all went silent and fled in disarray!

Anling News, a second-level police superintendent, this meant the book’s author was already collaborating with the police. If one continued to attack and slander without cause, wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

Perhaps they might even be brought back to the station for some ‘education’.

Scary thoughts indeed.

Meanwhile, Su Qianqian’s loyal fans left messages in the barrage of comments.

[Haters, speak up now!]

[Mr. Lin, I apologize for being too loud before.]

[I thought he was a criminal suspect, but turns out he’s a genius in criminal investigation!]

[My God, is this book full of actual criminal investigation techniques?]

[Qianqian, you have a good eye for books, I’ve subscribed to the whole thing!]

[Who would have thought that a web novelist would be doing criminal investigation work?]

[No, no, he isn’t just doing it, he’s outperforming the investigators!]

[…]

A stream of comments flew across the screen, each one filled with surprise and disbelief.

Indeed.

A web novel writer, in just half a day, had helped the Anling Police pinpoint a criminal suspect and solve a murder case – who could imagine that?

But it was proclaimed by Hu Daqiang himself and confirmed by the official Anling News release, causing the viewers to exclaim ‘Awesome’.

In front of his computer screen.

“Satisfying.”

Lin Chuan’s lips curved up in a content smile.

The moonlight outside the window was exceptionally bright.

The gentle breeze of March quietly swept across the eaves, circulating through the small rental room before settling on Lin Chuan, taking away all his fatigue and worries.

The average subscription rate of ‘This Assassin Is Too Professional’ was steadily increasing.

Lin Chuan exited Su Qianqian’s live streaming room.

Just then.

Someone with a SpongeBob cartoon avatar sent Lin Chuan a message: “Lin Chuan, are you there?”

Lin Chuan clicked on ‘SpongeBob’, his fingers tapping swiftly on the keyboard as he replied, “Little Landlady, are you not about to raise the rent again, are you?”

Zhang Xinxin: “We have a conscience in our line of work. RollingEyes.jpg”

Lin Chuan couldn’t help but touch his forehead, “If you guys were ruthless, it would be terrifying.”

‘Lantern Loss Assessment’, more meticulous than inspecting a crime scene, was indeed ruthless.

Zhang Xinxin sent another message: “Anyway, I’m not raising your rent.”

“What is it then?” Lin Chuan asked.

“That, do you still have any websites?”

Zhang Xinxin’s message was startling.

Lin Chuan leaned slightly forward, staring at the computer screen at the message from Zhang Xinxin, his pupils constricted.

Good grief.

The website he had given her last time, which contained an enormous variety of content, had she already finished browsing through it in just a few days?
