I asked you to write a book, not to disclose your criminal record!

Chapter 321 You want to go to jail, right?

Anling City.

As night fell, the moonlight spread through the thin clouds, dyeing an area white and emitting a faint light.

Youran Villa is another familiar old place.

If the weather was warmer, Lin Chuan would probably drive the electric car and take the landlady out to enjoy the fresh and cool evening breeze in the suburbs.

But the weather is still cold now.

Especially at night, it makes people shiver.

Lin Chuan and his landlady got out of the Audi A8 and walked slowly into Youran Villa, passing through the unique winter green shade of the south. The street lights reflected a few unknown wild flowers nearby.

"Old Zhang!"

The young landlady saw from afar Lao Zhang talking to a middle-aged man in the corridor outside the private room. Lao Zhang happened to look over, so the young landlady shouted.

"Xiao Zhang, you are here."

Old Zhang, wearing a down jacket, exhaled a breath of hot air and looked at the young landlady and Lin Chuan with a smile.

"Lao Zhang." Lin Chuan also greeted with a smile.

I haven't seen him for a while, and Lao Zhang has lost some weight.

"Great writer Lin." At this time, the middle-aged man next to Lao Zhang looked at Lin Chuan with a smile.

Lin Chuan looked in the direction of the sound.

The man was dressed in a suit and had a ruddy complexion, but his hair was a little bald and he looked like a Mediterranean.

Suddenly, Lin Chuan remembered this person and immediately said with a smile: "Master Chen!"

Chen Ming, anti-gambling expert in Anling City.

In March of 24, Lao Zhang was caught showing off his skills in a casino, which implicated Lin Chuan. It was this anti-gambling expert who read Lin Chuan's novel to determine whether Lin Chuan was a con man.

Later, Lao Zhang was invited by him to join the Anti-Gambling Association.

"Writer Lin has a good memory and still remembers Chen." Chen Ming's face was full of smiles.

“How could I not remember? I was almost mistaken for a con man and sentenced to teach criminal methods.” Lin Chuan said jokingly.

Chen Ming grinned and sighed: "Looking back now, I should have clung to the great writer Lin in the interrogation room!"

"Old Chen, it's not too late to hug you now."

Old Zhang laughed.

There was a smile on everyone's face.

"Master Chen, would you like to have a couple of drinks with me tonight?" Lin Chuan invited politely.

Chen Ming looked at the others and said tactfully, "It's a rare opportunity for the great writer Lin to invite me. It's a pity that I have other things to do. If there's a chance, let's toast next time."

Lin Chuan nodded.

Chen Ming waved to a few people, then turned and left, walking towards another private room.

It can be seen that he really has something important to do.

"Let's go in too. It's very windy outside." Lao Zhang wrapped himself in his down jacket.

The landlady pushed the door open and said with a smile, "Old Zhang, you are weak."

"Your father is in good health, but his skin is getting dry and cracked due to being exposed to the wind too much. I'll save some moisturizer." Lao Zhang replied humorously.

The three of them entered the box and sat down.

Lin Chuan sat side by side with the young landlady, while Lao Zhang sat opposite him.

The landlady blinked and looked at Lao Zhang: "I usually check the surveillance cameras in Xingfu Community. You are not at home every other day. Are you busy recently?"

"Of course I'm busy."

Lao Zhang raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Before the dishes were served, Lin Chuan made tea and asked with a smile, "Old Zhang, are you still busy with the things at Jinshiyuan?"

"Jinshiyuan has already been on the right track."

Lao Zhang chuckled and kept everyone in suspense, "Guess what I've been busy with lately?"

The young landlady pinched her chin and pouted her lips slightly: "Old Zhang, you don't have a new love, do you?"

Suddenly, Lao Zhang's face darkened, and the corners of his mouth twitched several times in succession: "What do you mean by having a new love? Have I ever had one?"

"Doesn't Aunt Liu from last time count?"

The little landlady keeps bringing up all sorts of issues.

Old Zhang shrank his neck, like a deflated balloon: "Don't mention her. She was almost cheated out of her pants. We almost had to sleep under a bridge."

"So you really don't want to date another one?" the young landlady asked with a smile.

"What are we talking about? We are already this age, why not do something more meaningful?" Lao Zhang waved his hand.

"So, what are you doing?"

"Old Zhang should be busy with the Anti-Gambling Association." At this time, Lin Chuan poured a cup of tea for the two of them, took over the conversation, and smiled lightly.

"Xiao Lin is still smart." Old Zhang picked up the teacup and praised.

"Expert Chen Ming was here just now, and he was having a good chat with Lao Zhang. There was no sense of strangeness between them. Lao Zhang must have been in contact with Chen Ming quite a lot during this period, right?" Lin Chuan made a guess.

Lao Zhang took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "It's pretty much what you guessed."

"I heard from my friends at the Anling Police Station that Anling has done a good job in anti-gambling work over the past year. Is the Anti-Gambling Association still so busy now?"

Lin Chuan was quite surprised.

The Anti-Gambling Association is not an official organization, but a spontaneous organization formed by volunteers from the public.

When the government organizes anti-gambling activities, they will be invited to participate and paid a certain amount of remuneration.

Of course.

Lao Zhang didn't go there for the reward, but because he really loved this activity.

He knows a lot of friends in the Anti-Gambling Association. When they are free, they can get together and chat, so they don’t have to be alone and don’t know what to do.

Lao Zhang laughed and said, "Xiao Lin, you wrote "The Con Man". You know that there is always a shortage of gamblers. Even if they have retired, they can't help but try a few gamblers. Therefore, the results of anti-gambling are mostly public data. There are still a lot of gamblers in secret who have not been converted. This task is a long way to go!"

"Very good, Lao Zhang!"

After hearing this, the young landlady gave a thumbs up.

Old Zhang was delighted, his face was filled with happiness, and even his back straightened a little unconsciously.

There are no words more comforting than praise from your own daughter.

At the same time, he became more determined to fight against gambling.

"Xiao Lin, do you have any important matters on hand right now?" Old Zhang looked up at Lin Chuan.

Before Lin Chuan could speak.

The landlady said, "Old Zhang, don't go after Lin Chuan. He has something important to do recently."

"Harmful."

Lao Zhang exhaled and said regretfully, "If Xiao Lin is free, with his superb skills, he can help people quit gambling addiction in a matter of minutes. By then, the two of us will surely scare all the major casinos away."

"I should be free after I finish this busy period." Lin Chuan said with a smile.

If Lao Zhang wanted to do it, he would naturally support it.

With him around, the landlady feels a lot more at ease.

Otherwise, with just Lao Zhang's brain, it was only a matter of time before he was cheated.

"Xiao Lin."

Old Zhang looked at Lin Chuan.

"What's wrong, Lao Zhang?" Lin Chuan asked in surprise.

"That trick of yours..." Old Zhang grinned, feeling a little embarrassed.

As soon as Lin Chuan saw Lao Zhang's expression, he knew what he was thinking.

It was probably because Lao Zhang’s current cheating skills were insufficient that, in the process of fighting against gambling, he felt that his cheating skills were not enough.

Furthermore.

Many of the cheating techniques recorded in "The Con Man" require not only talent but also someone to teach.

Otherwise, no matter how much you practice, you will not be able to understand the secrets.

"Do you have cards?" Lin Chuan asked.

Lao Zhang's face lit up: "How many decks of cards do you want?"

"How many decks of cards did you bring? How many dice?" Lin Chuan was slightly stunned and asked back.

Old Zhang grinned and said, "I brought four decks of cards and three dice."

As he said that, Lao Zhang immediately took out two decks of cards from all over his down jacket.

"So you said you wanted to treat us to a meal so that you could ask the chairman to teach you some tricks?" The pretty young landlady was slightly startled, thinking that the old father was missing his daughter.

Shit! "I am also considered a member of the Thousand Sects. It is reasonable for me to ask the King of the Thousand Kings for advice, right?" Lao Zhang said with a smile.

"Reasonable."

The landlady pouted and said, "I'll go get the food ready. I'm almost fainting from hunger!"

"Okay, go ahead."

Old Zhang had a smile on his face as he shuffled the playing cards in his hand, then handed them to Lin Chuan and asked Lin Chuan for some specific steps of the cheating technique.

Lao Zhang is now mainly engaged in anti-gambling and does not use it for gambling.

Therefore, teaching cheating techniques at this time does not constitute the crime of teaching criminal methods.

Lin Chuan taught with confidence.

Lao Zhang studied seriously.

I have to say that Lao Zhang does have the talent to become a master of thousands of techniques. For many techniques, he was able to master them and put them into practice after only being taught once or twice.

If you train more, you will be able to do it with ease.

Two hours later.

Lin Chuan and the landlady both touched their stomachs. There was a whole table full of food and they were very full.

Lao Zhang was also very satisfied.

Tonight, his cheating skills have made great progress.

The anti-gambling ability is even stronger!
The night is getting darker.

The sparse clouds gradually dispersed, leaving only a wisp of veil covering the shy moon. A few lonely stars were embedded in the sky, emitting faint light.

The young landlady rested her head on Lin Chuan's arm, smiling: "Chairman, I was wondering, when we get old, what can we do?"

"You can do anything!"

Lin Chuan said frankly.

He is proficient in theft, cheating, assassination, hacking, etc.

"Let's set up an association, just like the anti-gambling association that Lao Zhang is in, then we'll have something to do!" the young landlady said with anticipation.

"How about the Criminal Association? I'm very familiar with it." Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Can……"

As soon as the landlady said this, she pouted, "Criminal Association, you want to go to jail, right?"

"Hahaha! I'm just kidding."

Lin Chuan smiled.

"You are still young, but you are thinking about getting old now." Old Zhang scolded with a smile.

"Just think about it."

The young landlady's face was filled with a happy smile.

"Boom, boom, boom."

There was a knock on the door outside the box.

"Come in." Lao Zhang thought it was a waiter, so he shouted.

"Lao Zhang, it's me!" There was a familiar voice outside the door.

——Chen Ming.

"Old Chen, please come in!" Old Zhang stood up, opened the door of the private room himself and welcomed him in.

Chen Ming's face was slightly red, probably because he had drunk two cups, but he was still sober.

"Mr. Zhang, this is Mr. Writer Lin, and Xiao Zhang, I'm sorry to bother you." Chen Ming walked into the private room and said apologetically.

"What is this nonsense?"

Old Zhang looked at Chen Ming and complained.

Chen Ming chuckled and said, "I am sorry to bother you."

"Is there anything important, Expert Chen?" Lin Chuan asked with a calm expression.

"It's not a particularly important matter. I just happen to have some information on hand and would like to discuss it with Lao Zhang." Chen Ming said with a smile.

"What information?"

Old Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"The dinner party I just attended invited our anti-gambling association to do some publicity. I was thinking, I can just take you with me. We can go together!"

It’s not a big deal to do some anti-gambling publicity.

Therefore, anti-gambling expert Chen Ming did not avoid Lin Chuan.

"Tomorrow? Of course!"

Lao Zhang chuckled.

Clearly, he was very happy to do it.

Chen Ming turned to look at Lin Chuan and invited him, "Master Writer Lin, how about you also go and promote it?"

Lin Chuan waved his hand and said, "I have something important to do in the company tomorrow."

"What a pity! The great writer Lin's cheating skills are like magical skills and are still vivid in my mind! Even though so much time has passed, they are still as brave as they were back then." Chen Ming said with a smile.

Lin Chuan waved his hand again: "Thank you for the compliment."

"Then I won't bother you any more." Chen Ming bowed and said at the right time.

"Master Chen, let me see you off."

Lin Chuan smiled.

"How can this be done?" Chen Ming quickly waved his hands.

Lin Chuan smiled, leaned over to Chen Ming and whispered, "It's okay. I'll trouble you to take care of Lao Zhang in the Anti-Gambling Association."

The two walked out of the private room while talking.

Chen Ming nodded repeatedly: "Of course, Lao Zhang is my good friend, and he and I support each other."

In the corridor outside the private room.

Gusts of evening breeze blew past, brushing Lin Chuan's face.

Besides him, the person Xinxin is most concerned about is Lao Zhang.

Therefore, Lin Chuan couldn't help but ask more questions for Lao Zhang to learn more about Lao Zhang's situation.

"Expert Chen, I'd like to ask a few more questions. Is that convenient for you?" Lin Chuan asked.

Chen Ming smiled and said, "Of course it's convenient."

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment and asked, "How will tomorrow's anti-gambling campaign be carried out?"

Chen Ming thought for a moment, then replied: "Our anti-gambling association has various forms of publicity, including direct video revelations, lectures, and one-on-one gambling simulations. Tomorrow's anti-gambling publicity will be a one-on-one gambling simulation."

Lin Chuan nodded: "One-on-one, that is, let the anti-gambling expert play the role of the dealer or banker, and let a gambler who needs to quit gambling be the other party?"

"Right, that is it!"

Chen Ming nodded.

"Well, could you send me some pictures of the scene tomorrow? I want to pay more attention to my father-in-law." Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Of course, no problem. This is just a small matter. It's a one-on-one gambling simulation, and we will have video footage saved." Chen Ming explained.

Lin Chuan has experienced cheating before, but when it comes to anti-gambling, he only has a vague understanding.

"That's good."

Lin Chuan felt much more relieved.

……

The next day.

Lao Zhang went to carry out anti-gambling propaganda.

As promised, Chen Ming sent a photo to Lin Chuan.

In the photo, Lao Zhang is wearing a suit with long sleeves, smiling, and holding playing cards in his hand, about to distribute them.

Opposite him was a long-haired man with his hair tied at the back of his head. He was about thirty years old, his complexion was not in good condition, and he looked like a gambler.

Lin Chuan smiled and thought that Lao Zhang's anti-gambling career was really on the right track.

At this time, Lin Chuan was in the office of 720 Company.

Just put the phone on the table.

A cryptic message popped up on the computer.

——The squirrel has news.
