Chapter 93: Chapter 92: Once he commits a crime, the consequences are unimaginable! (Subscribe please!)

In fact, calling Lin Chuan the king of fraudsters might not be an overstatement.

After all, in the virtual reality factory zone replica, he climbed up from a fraud salesman after making contact with the police.

If they didn’t close the net then, he was about to invade the group and become a big boss.

At the same time.

He also mastered ‘business negotiation skills,’ which is essentially a compendium of professional scams.

It is safe to say that if Lin Chuan were thrown into the factory zone, it would be like letting the tiger return to the mountain, completely in its element.

Really criminal!

Director Zhang Biao lifted his wrist, took a look at his watch, and seeing there was plenty of time, decided to chat a little longer, “Comrade Lin, with the frequent occurrence of fraud cases and the continuous efforts in anti-fraud propaganda, the effects seem to be minimal. In your opinion, is there a more effective method?”

Lin Chuan’s brows furrowed slightly as he fell into thought.

Memories from his life as a fraud salesman were already surfacing in his mind.

After a while.

He finally answered, “Scammers use benefits as a lure, and the victims are hooked by these benefits. Once victims choose to pursue these benefits, all the anti-fraud propaganda is left behind. So, I think the key to anti-fraud lies in cutting it off at the source.”

“Oh?”

Director Zhang Biao was slightly surprised, “How do you cut it off at the source?”

The rest of the people present were also startled.

Does this young, red-cloaked hacker really have a solution?

Xia Qingqing’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Lin Chuan with a smile.

She had an inexplicable trust in Lin Chuan.

Especially regarding anti-fraud, perhaps it was because she saw the opening of “All-In” last night.

She always felt that Lin Chuan would bring more surprises.

And the Little Landlady, sitting next to Lin Chuan, turned her face in surprise to look at him.

Wow, since when does my company chairman understand anti-fraud?

Moreover, the things he’s talking about, they are so confusing to me!

I feel like my little brain isn’t cut out for this.

Lin Chuan looked around at everyone present and, without being daunted, said, “To cut it off at the root means to sever the contact between scammers and their potential victims from the start.”

“That’s a great idea. How specifically do you sever their contact?”

Director Zhang Biao’s eyes brightened as he nodded in agreement.

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment, then smiled.

“We could develop an application to be installed on users’ phones, computers, and other electronic devices. Within the app, we would create a large AI anti-fraud model and incorporate a massive database.”

“Then, through the large AI anti-fraud model, we would analyze the related information of the users, determine the source of the information, identify foreign disguised numbers making calls, and check the links and corresponding webpages sent by the others, using AI intelligence to determine whether the information is fraudulent.”

“If it is, the user would be immediately alerted to the fraudulent information, and if the user insists on making a payment, their action would be reported to the local police promptly to reduce the occurrence of fraud cases.”

Upon hearing this.

Director Zhang Biao immediately applauded, repeatedly exclaiming, “Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!”

In the meeting room.

Everyone looked at Lin Chuan in surprise, then at Director Zhang Biao, who kept praising him.

Especially Xia Qingqing.

As a member of the Cyber Police, she had heard a lot about Director Zhang Biao’s deeds.

But she had never heard that he, like today, had so much respect for someone.

Also.

Xia Qingqing often dealt with fraud cases and ‘anti-fraud’ work has always been her main focus. From Lin Chuan’s words, especially about the AI anti-fraud model, she could already sense the effectiveness of Lin Chuan’s plan after implementation.

It might not achieve ‘A World Without Fraud,’ but it would at least reduce the current rate of fraud cases by fifty percent, if not more.

Xia Qingqing couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Lin Chuan.

He always brought a bit of a surprise.

Swindler, criminal investigation, hacker, anti-fraud… he knows too much!

Really criminal!

Lin Chuan faced Director Zhang Biao’s praise with equanimity, saying, “This is just a preliminary idea, but the development of this application requires significant research and data.”

Director Zhang Biao nodded, his face brimming with a smile, “Lin, your proposal is very good. I will report it to the higher-ups. Regarding the technical aspects, can Studio 720 provide support?”

…

After the negotiations concluded.

Director Zhang Biao returned to his office with a smile on his face, poured a cup of Tieguanyin tea, took a sip, and then, in his phone contacts, found ‘Director Zhong,’ and made a call.

Tring, tring, tring—

“Comrade Zhang Biao, how did it go?”

On the phone.

The person in the administrative jacket, Director Zhong, spoke in a deep and steady voice as soon as he answered.

“Reporting to Director Zhong, Anling Police has reached a preliminary intention of cooperation with Lin Chuan,” Director Zhang Biao reported formally.

“You did a good job. He is a hero of the Han River. You must take good care of him and ensure his personal safety,” advised Director Zhong Chengming.

“I will surely fulfill the mission,” Director Zhang Biao joyfully accepted.

Now, in Director Zhang Biao’s eyes, Lin Chuan was a gem, a piece of fine jade.

“By the way, last time you mentioned he’s a novelist who also knows lock-picking and cheating techniques, as well as having professional skills in criminal investigation and murder methods?” Director Zhong Chengming inquired.

“Yes, these are all on record,” Director Zhang Biao answered. “He has assisted our criminal investigation team in solving several difficult homicide cases.”

“Anything else?” Director Zhong Chengming nodded as if assessing Lin Chuan’s background.

Director Zhang Biao stood with one hand resting on the desk and the other holding the phone: “Yes, during the negotiation just now, I found out that Lin Chuan also knows how to prevent fraud.”

“Prevent fraud?”

“Yes!” Director Zhang Biao’s face showed pride, and his voice involuntarily rose a bit, “He also proposed an effective plan to prevent fraud.”

“Let’s hear it.”

Director Zhong Chengming became interested as soon as he heard it was a plan for preventing fraud.

Regardless of where he was, it was a headache-inducing issue.

The Han River was no exception.

Director Zhong Chengming’s perspective was different, and so was his angle of thinking about the problem.

The reason why AW invaded on such a large scale was not just for corporate core data but also for the personal information of Han River citizens.

Once personal information is leaked, everyone would be left exposed.

As the military adage goes, “Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.”

Once AW had mastered Han River’s personal information, the numerous fraud cases that would be triggered would become a significant problem for Han River to face.

It was very likely to drag down all of Han River’s systems.

“Elder Zhong, the prevention plan proposed by Comrade Lin is indeed quite good…” Zhang Biao immediately relayed Lin Chuan’s words in full to Zhong Chengming.

On the other end of the phone.

After listening, Zhong Chengming frowned and remained silent for a long time.

Zhang Biao hesitated and tentatively asked, “Director Zhong, is the plan not feasible?”

“This plan…” Zhong Chengming paused and asked, “Did Comrade Lin say it himself?”

“Yes!”

Zhang Biao replied earnestly.

Zhong Chengming took a deep breath.

Then, he counted them off one by one on his fingers and took out a pen to neatly write in his notebook

‘Anti-fraud AI big model, database, detect information, recognize incoming calls, identify links, check web pages…’

After a while.

Smack!

Zhong Chengming smacked his pen onto the desk and revealed a hearty smile, expressing his satisfaction, “This plan is brilliant! For the data aspect, our police system has already mastered a large amount of fraud data, which is now sufficient to support the data needs of the anti-fraud AI big model. As for development… how about Lin’s studio?”

Zhang Biao’s face lit up.

Lin Chuan’s anti-fraud plan had received Director Zhong’s approval so quickly!

This youngster wasn’t bad!

However, Zhang Biao hesitated a bit, “Currently, Comrade Lin’s studio is not large in scale and probably isn’t enough to support development.”

“Zhang Biao, you underestimate Comrade Lin,” Zhong Chengming laughed.

“I’m all ears, Director Zhong.”

Zhang Biao was confused, not understanding.

“Comrade Lin alone managed to take down the haughty AW that repeatedly provoked our Han River, isn’t his strength enough to support development?” Zhong Chengming said with a laugh.

“Director Zhong considers things more thoroughly,” Zhang Biao laughed.

“In my opinion, Lin alone is worth ten large network security companies.”

This important figure from Han River was generous in his praise for Lin Chuan.

“I’ll immediately start organizing the project application, with Comrade Lin’s 720 Studio taking charge of the development,” Zhang Biao said with a sincere smile on his face.

That’s the pride of Anling people!

“Don’t overwork him, though. Arrange a few network security companies to assist and provide support,” Zhong Chengming showed his appreciation for talent, rarely giving a reminder.

Zhang Biao’s smile grew even brighter, “Understood!”

“And one more thing, I need to instruct you, Comrade Lin is now an important figure coveted by outside forces. If he is infiltrated by foreign powers, and commits a crime, the consequences are unimaginable!”

“So, you must ensure not a single hair on his head is harmed!”

“Otherwise, you alone will be held accountable!”

Zhong Chengming was well aware of the current domestic and international situation.

The lone victory against AW was enough to make the hacker community tremble thrice over.

‘Lin Chuan matching ten large network security companies’ was not just Zhong Chengming’s praise, but his candid assessment.

Therefore, he issued a firm order to Zhang Biao.

Dut dut dut.

In the Director’s office at Anling Police Station.

After hanging up the phone with Director Zhong from the provincial department, Zhang Biao was stunned for quite a while.

Then, he rubbed his face with both hands, picked up his thermos cup, took a sip of tea, and spat the tea leaves into the garbage can nearby.

“After a single phone call, he’s turned into my esteemed ancestor,” he remarked.

“This youngster…”

But there was no sign of disdain or complaint on Zhang Biao’s face.

On the contrary, he was all smiles.

However, the fact that Lin Chuan received such high praise from the higher-ups added glory to Anling, and on the other hand, it was also because he truly had the talent.

He was a treasure of Anling!

Zhang Biao’s brows furrowed slightly as he pondered which people in the police station were in frequent contact with Lin Chuan.

Hu Daqiang from the criminal investigation squad, Shen Qianqian, Xia Qingqing from the cyber police unit.

All of them were his fans.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Biao picked up the phone and called the head of the Cyber Police Unit, Yu Shan, “Yu Shan, have Officer Xia come to my office.”

Before long.

Xia Qingqing arrived at the office door and knocked, “Director Zhang, you wanted to see me.”

“Officer Xia, come in, have a seat,” Zhang Biao said warmly as he motioned for Xia Qingqing to sit down, then personally filled a disposable cup with Tieguanyin for her, “Have some tea.”

Xia Qingqing, seeing the director’s warm welcome, looked a bit uncomfortable, “Director Zhang, just give your orders.”

Such warmth was unfamiliar to her.

Zhang Biao smiled, “Nothing major, really. Today, after reaching a cooperative agreement with Comrade Lin, I think he’s an extraordinary talent, so I wanted to understand his situation a bit better. You have a good relationship with him, don’t you?”

Xia Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, sipped the tea, and then said, “It’s okay, but I actually don’t know much about his situation.”

“He doesn’t engage in any bad behavior, right?” Zhang Biao asked.

Xia Qingqing shook her head, “No.”

“Has he come in contact with some unusual individuals?” Zhang Biao smiled.

“No.”

“With May Day approaching, does he have any special travel plans?” Zhang Biao continued, “Like, going abroad for a trip?”

Domestic would be fine, but once abroad, protection would become difficult.

“For May Day…”

Xia Qingqing paused, “As far as I know, he doesn’t have plans to go abroad at the moment, but he might take a trip to Yundian to relax for a few days.”

“Might go to Yundian?”

Zhang Biao took a sip of tea from his thermos cup, frowning slightly.

“Yes, it’s not confirmed yet.”

Xia Qingqing nodded, pursed her lips, and thought, I haven’t asked him yet if he’s going or not. He’s been in Anling for a while, so a trip for some fresh inspiration would do him good.
