He had just married a policewoman when he was diagnosed with criminal genius.
Chapter 27 Want to fish? No bait.
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, this is fantastic news!!" Lu Chen said, somewhat sadly pulling his phone away from his ear.
Sun Dazhi's voice was simply too loud.
"What good news?" Lu Chen asked, while continuing to stir-fry the vegetables.
Four or five days have passed since Lu Chen gave Ding Jianguo his advice.
Jiang Xue has been almost never home these past few days, always working overtime.
Although Lu Chen had mentally prepared himself before marrying Jiang Xue, he couldn't bear to see her working overtime all the time.
I've decided to cook a few of Jiang Xue's favorite dishes today and send them to her.
"It's your script, your script, it's been approved! The higher-ups have decided to give us strong support in filming this drama." Sun Dazhi spoke quickly, he was very excited.
How could he not be excited? He had finally found what he was looking for without any effort.
That day, after seeing Lu Chen's script, he read it from beginning to end in one go.
After reading it, Sun Dazhi was immediately amazed.
This script was the best he had ever read on the subject of anti-gambling.
Although the script is still rough, its overall merits outweigh its flaws, and the plot is very smooth and full of twists and turns.
Sun Dazhi could understand; Lu Chen had finished the script in just a few days.
It's normal for the script to be a bit rough around the edges.
Therefore, that very day, Sun Dazhi worked through the night to revise and polish some minor details of the script.
The script was handed over to the leaders of the Xia Guo Film Bureau for script review overnight.
Lu Chen paused for a moment, his hand holding the spatula still: "It's approved?"
"It's approved, it's completely approved, Brother Lu, you're a genius," Sun Dazhi's voice came through the receiver, trembling with suppressed emotion. "Brother Lu, you have no idea, the leaders who reviewed the script approved it right away after reading it."
"They say this is the best script on anti-fraud and anti-gambling themes in the last decade! The Film Bureau of Xia State has already stated that it will fully support this film."
Sun Dazhi paused for a moment before continuing, "By the way, the leader also said that we chose a very good topic because our country has a zero-tolerance policy towards gambling, so offline gambling has become very rare. However, with the development of the Internet, they have gradually moved to the Internet."
"Moreover, online gambling is clandestine. Anyone with a mobile phone and internet access can gamble anywhere, which is extremely harmful."
Sun Dazhi laughed and said, "So you could say that the subject you wrote about has completely hit the nail on the head for the reviewing leaders."
"It also covers the long-standing problem of anti-fraud in the northern border of our Xia Kingdom, killing two birds with one stone. The leaders are very satisfied with this script."
"Therefore, they will provide the highest level of support for this script."
This is a good thing for Sun Dazhi, as it is of a high standard. The greater the support he receives, the more funds he can obtain.
Lu Chen turned the fire down a bit; he wasn't surprised by the result.
After all, the script he wrote was from a phenomenal anti-fraud and anti-gambling movie on Earth.
He then adapted this story to Earth, taking into account international realities.
On the other end of the phone, Sun Dazhi was still talking non-stop.
"Brother Lu, you have no idea, I showed the beginning of your script to a few friends in the industry, and they all went crazy, saying I've struck gold."
"A producer offered a million dollars to buy out the script, but I didn't give it to him. It's your script, and you should be the one to decide."
Immediately, Sun Dazhi's voice dropped eight octaves, a rare occurrence.
"Brother Lu, I'm sorry, I approved the script without informing you."
Lu Chen clipped his phone to his ear.
"No need to apologize. I gave you the script so you could see if it was useful, right?" He said while tossing the wok. "If it's useful, that would be great."
"It's hard to explain over the phone, Brother Lu, let's schedule a time to talk about the script!"
Lu Chen glanced at the food in the pot.
"I'm going to deliver food to Jiang Xue now. She's been working overtime these past few days and she's exhausted. Let's talk when we meet tonight!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" Sun Dazhi hurriedly replied.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Chen looked at the sizzling dishes in the pot and his mood suddenly improved a lot.
In the evening, Lu Chen arrived at the police station carrying a thermos lunchbox.
Jiang Xue was organizing materials at her computer when she saw Lu Chen arrive. A smile immediately appeared on her tired face: "What brings you here?"
"I brought you lunch." Lu Chen placed the lunchbox on the table, opened the lid, and the aroma instantly wafted out.
Seeing that Jiang Xue was still busy with her work, Lu Chen said with concern, "Alright, alright, let's eat first, don't go hungry."
While Jiang Xue was eating, Lu Chen noticed that the people at the police station were still very busy.
Lu Chen, puzzled, asked, "Has there been no progress on your previous counterfeit money case?"
Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "No, it seems like there was some problem with the environment where counterfeit money was being made, but I don't know."
Just then, Ding Jianguo rushed over in a flurry.
"Xiao Jiang, have you prepared the documents I asked you to prepare earlier?"
Jiang Xue immediately put down her chopsticks and handed over the documents on the table: "They're ready, here you go."
Seeing Lu Chen there, Ding Jianguo forced a smile onto his tired face: "Xiao Jiang, you're here."
"What's wrong, Director Ding? Why does this police station seem worse than it was a few days ago?" Lu Chen asked casually.
Given what happened before, and the fact that Lu Chen was the one who proposed the arrest plan for this counterfeit money case.
Ding Jianguo trusted Lu Chen completely and said without reservation, "Your proposal is good, but we haven't thought of a key issue."
He said with a very grim expression, "Although we found some criminals with a lot of experience in making counterfeit money, they were very willing to cooperate after hearing that they could get a reduced sentence by helping us make counterfeit money."
"But the result is that the counterfeit money they produced is not as sophisticated as the counterfeit money we are currently finding in Jiangbei City."
"Such counterfeit money, even if it appears on the market, will not attract the attention of the other party."
Because of this matter, Ding Jianguo has not slept for two days. After all, if he cannot produce higher quality counterfeit money, then the most important "bait" of the whole plan will be lost.
How can you catch a big fish without bait?
The main reason for this plan is that the Jiangbei City Police Department spent a lot of police and resources to transfer these counterfeit money criminals from prisons all over the country.
After spending so much effort, if this is the result, how can we live up to the trust the people have placed in our police force?
How can we possibly live up to the tireless, round-the-clock work of all the police officers in Jiangbei City these past few days?
Lu Chen felt somewhat helpless because this step was the simplest for him when he proposed the plan.
It was also his own oversight that led him to believe that the criminals Ding Jianguo and his group had hired were unable to produce counterfeit Xia Guo banknotes with higher precision and authenticity.
But to their surprise, this actually stumped Ding Jianguo and his team.
Doesn't this mean he's inadvertently harming all the police officers in Jiangbei City?
A wave of guilt washed over Lu Chen.
Seeing Lu Chen's somewhat unpleasant expression, Ding Jianguo comforted him, "Little Lu, this has nothing to do with you."
"Although you proposed this plan, I made the final decision. It was the leaders of our Jiangbei City Police Department who made the decision. Don't feel guilty."
Lu Chen paused for a moment and then said, "Director Ding, could I see the counterfeit Xia Guo banknotes they made?"
After hesitating for a moment, Ding Jianguo took out a brand-new banknote that still smelled of ink.
Lu Chen took it and examined it closely.
He smiled when he saw the finished product.
