Lucas nodded and imdiately started contacting his people.
They had been laying the groundwork for years and had multiple secret channels at their disposal, so passing so things to Yu Keke wasn't difficult at all.
With the rocket launcher blueprints and patents, they could pull Yu Keke back from the brink of death.
This was Yu Qin's primary objective.
Death sentence to life imprisonnt, then to life without parole... She was all too familiar with these procedures.
"Has there been any special news about Lin Chuan?"
Yu Qin lit a cigarette, holding it between two fingers, and asked with her leg casually crossed.
"He hasn't made any special moves, just released a new book today," Lucas reported, as told to him by one of his subordinates.
Yu Qin exhaled a ring of smoke, "How does releasing a new book count as special news?"
"That's all there is."
Lucas shook his head.
In the office, the two fell silent.
Yu Qin took a few more drags, "Where did Lin Chuan publish that book of his? I want to have a look."
"I'll find out."
Lucas imdiately inquired and then replied to Yu Qin, "There are three versions of it. The Chinese version was published dostically, the English version on 'Sailing Novel International'."
"And the third version?" Yu Qin asked.
"Pirate version."
Lucas chuckled, "It's a pirated version by Fries Novel Company, quite popular among the people of Southeast Asia who use this app to read novels."
He had a good understanding of the local people's habits.

"Lucas, get a copy too, I want to see what Lin Chuan has written," Yu Qin said, flicking her cigarette ash casually.
She rembered Yu Keke ntioning to her—
Yu Keke wanted to recruit a web novel writer, whose novels were their own criminal records, and one could see their level of criminal expertise from the stories.
The 'Haas Ard Forces' had arranged to et with her tomorrow, and now she was idling around, so she might as well check out Lin Chuan's novel.
After all, "knowing the enemy and knowing oneself, one can fight without danger in a hundred battles." It would be good to learn about this web novel writer so she could take actions in the future.
Before long,
a staff mber brought over a tablet and placed it in front of Yu Qin.
Yu Qin casually flipped through it.
Both Sailing Novel's international and Fries Novel's apps were downloaded on the tablet.
Yu Qin didn't care about which was the legitimate version or the pirated one; she casually clicked on one of the apps.
Afterward, she entered Lin Chuan's pen na.
——Mr. Lin.
The novel platform imdiately showed a series of books, with the new book "Arms Tycoon" at the top.
Yu Qin was half-leaning on the sofa in a languid pose.
When the translated words "Arms Tycoon" caught her eye, she suddenly beca interested in the book.
Whether this book was Lin Chuan's autobiography or not, she was unsure.
But the words "Arms Tycoon" represented her identity, and she was curious to see what sort of story Lin Chuan could co up with.
Gently, she tapped on "Arms Tycoon."
The content of the novel imdiately unfolded before her—
'My na is Mr. Lin.'
'In a world of turmoil and unrest, I was christened "Arms Tycoon".'
'The na Mr. Lin, in the eyes of many, symbolizes power, wealth, and technology.'
'It also represents legend.'
'Standing in the fading light of my twilight years, I find the recollections of my life to be extraordinary and almost miraculous.'
'If I were to speak of it, perhaps no one would believe.'
'I was originally the owner of a toy factory, but by a chance decision, I embarked on the path of arms dealing.'
'...'
This was the first ti Yu Qin was reading Lin Chuan's novel, and she read the opening with so care, or rather, she savored it.
She extinguished the cigarette in her hand on the ashtray and adjusted her position on the sofa, her breathing gradually calming.
She could sense the charm of the words in Lin Chuan's novel.
Even more, she could feel as if an arms tycoon, standing at the peak and looking down on the world, was recounting his legendary life to an unknown audience in the mories of his later years.
Yu Qin continued to read discerningly.
'I was born into an ordinary family.'
'Since my childhood, I had a profound curiosity about weapons, and I especially enjoyed making little weapon toys.'
'I rember clearly, at the age of eight, I broke the neighbor's window with a toy gun I made myself and got thoroughly punished for it, with my butt blooming from the spanking.'
'But my passion for guns and weapons didn't diminish; on the contrary, it grew stronger.'
'However, academics beca an obstacle in my study of guns and weaponry.'
'I had to spend a large amount of ti every day, unwillingly, on subjects that were of no use.'
'Fortunately, I always scored high in physics, mathematics, and chemistry. The elders always said I was too focused on one field and if I could do well in other subjects, I would certainly achieve great things in the future.'
'I didn't take their words seriously.'
'After the college entrance exam, I got into a very diocre university.'
'The only consolation was that during those four years, I could fully dedicate myself to the study of weapons, which was my hobby.'
'However, a hobby cannot feed you.'
'After graduation, I was caught in a wave of massive layoffs, and finding a job in the country was very difficult, unless I went to work in a factory.'
'Later, I went abroad to Southeast Asia.'
'I started a business there, initially trading toys. Eventually, I simply opened my own toy factory.'
'...'
As she read on, Yu Qin found herself becoming engrossed.
The 'Mr. Lin' in the novel shared so similarities with her, having a strong interest in weapons from their childhood.
However, her own growth was much smoother than Mr. Lin's.
Her father supported her interest in studying weapons, even providing her with real guns and taking her to see all sorts of weaponry.
