The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.

Chapter 492 I will definitely answer more honestly!!

That gaze is really uncomfortable.

It was as if the two of them were saying they weren't qualified to nod.

I always felt like I was suffering terribly in Uncle Yan and Uncle Yang's minds.

Lin Li now understands why those girls hate Nan Ning; it's because he really is disgusting and makes them feel uncomfortable.

In a patriarchal society, bow down!
It's decided. When I get back, I'll switch my allegiance to "Calculus" and "Pakistan" to "Parasitestan," and defect to the enemy!

Lin Li wasn't the only one who felt distressed.

Based on Yang Liang and Yan Aosong's understanding of Lin Li, judging from Lin Li's current expression, although they couldn't guess what he was thinking—this had nothing to do with how long they had spent together; any human being who spent a lifetime with Lin Li would never be able to guess what he was thinking—that didn't matter, because they could predict that he was definitely thinking something extraordinary.

Alas, Lin Li, alas, Xi Ling, alas, there is no bright future to be seen.

Lin Li, Yang Liang, and Yan Aosong all sighed in unison, feeling a deep sense of sympathy.

"Alright," Yang Liang finally waved his hand, dispelling the eerie atmosphere. His gaze followed the transparent floor-to-ceiling window to the opposite side, locking onto the two convenience stores. He then gestured with his chin towards Lin Li:
"Which company is planning to buy counterfeit cigarettes?"

Yang Liang and Yan Aosong came to this store tonight to meet Lin Li, not for a meal or to catch up—meeting Lin Li without a reason would be a foolish thing to do. In fact, it was because Lin Li had previously mentioned that he had already made progress on the tobacco-related crime case.

"The one on the left is 'Jili Convenience Store,' and the one on the right has nothing to do with it, at least not in my intelligence."

Upon hearing this, Lin Li also looked across at the other side, his voice becoming slightly more serious:
"According to my informant, Geely has ordered a batch of goods, and someone will come to deliver them within half an hour to an hour. If nothing unexpected happens, the delivery truck's license plate number is R724K, and it's black."

"You even got detailed information about the delivery truck?"

Yang Liang glanced at Lin Li with a slightly complicated expression, hesitated, and then asked a question instead of speaking:
"Alright, are we going to arrest another batch later? I already contacted our bureau and the tobacco bureau in advance, just like you said."

“Hmm,” Lin Li nodded again, “It can be considered ‘following the clues’. I now know about a small workshop that produces counterfeit cigarettes—which is also the source of the goods for the person who will be delivering the goods later. After we arrest this batch, we can seize the opportunity to shut down the workshop.”

While it's called "calculating" or "following the clues," Lin Li already knows the exact address and other information about the small workshop without needing to learn from the fake cigarette dealers who will be arrested later.

The reason for going to the trouble of arresting people first instead of immediately seizing the property is simply because this is Lin Li's attempt to complete the entire "Xiaoyao San" mission in one go.

As long as buying and selling counterfeit cigarettes counts as one transaction and producing counterfeit cigarettes counts as one transaction, then this (0/2) task can be completed in one go, saving a lot of time and energy.

"Okay, as long as you know what I mean."

Now that things had come to this, Yang Liang was too lazy to do any more futile efforts to persuade Lin Li not to do this, so he simply nodded calmly.

But Yan Aosong still seemed unwilling to give up. Seeing that Yang Liang had given up, he hesitated for a moment before finally speaking:
"Lin Li, I have some questions for you about helping me find undercover agents and solve cases. I hope you won't beat around the bush and will answer honestly."

Seeing Yan Aosong's sincerity, Lin Li nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Yan."

"Then I'll start asking."

"Ah."

Yan Aosong: "Where did you find this undercover agent?"

Lin Li: "Be sincere."

Yan Aosong: "How much money and effort did you spend?"

Lin Li: "Be sincere."

Yan Aosong: "Answer more honestly or I'll slap you!"

Lin Li: "Be sincere."

"Boom."

Don't worry, this wasn't the sound of Yan Aosong hitting Lin Li, but rather his own desperate slamming of his forehead against the restaurant table.

I was so stupid... really...

Lin Li is just too sincere.

Yang Liang, standing to the side, remained expressionless, except for a hint of pity in his eyes—for Yan Aosong.

Why bother? Why not give up?

"Lin Li, is this so-called 'undercover agent' here tonight? If he is, you still need to tell us the truth, otherwise it will be troublesome to argue later," Yang Liang was much calmer and more natural than Yan Aosong, his tone carrying a faint sense of death, as if he didn't expect to get any real answer.
"Don't let things get unpleasant and cause trouble, or wrongly accuse him."

"There's no need to worry about that. He himself didn't actually participate in the production and sale of counterfeit cigarettes. He left it all to his good friends. When we get there, he definitely won't be there. When the relevant people involved are arrested later, he shouldn't be implicated either."

If he were really implicated, he would name all three of us.

Lin Li waved his hand and said with a smile.

In reality, Li Sheng was waiting for a friend involved in the case to leave the hideout later so they could have a good drink.

Of course, Li Sheng did this not to help his friend avoid detention, but to monitor and ensure that when Lin Li took action tonight, their counterfeit cigarette production and sales activities would still be going on as usual.

As for the friend he took away for drinks, it depends on the attitude of the Demon Suppression Division. If the Demon Suppression Division intends to investigate further, those "colleagues" can report him and he will still be caught. If the Demon Suppression Division thinks that it is only necessary to punish the ringleader, namely the person in charge of the den, then they will naturally let him go.

If he lets him go, that guy will probably have to thank Li Sheng.

Regardless of the circumstances, Li Sheng did this to ensure that Lin Li didn't leave empty-handed.

It can only be described as excellent service, and it certainly justifies Lin Li's lavish spending.

Lin Li didn't give cash this time. Instead, he casually gave her a small piece of gold jewelry, worth tens of thousands of yuan, based on the prizes she had won in previous activities.

As for how to monetize it, with Li Sheng's connections, it's a piece of cake.

Even if you gave him a few kilograms, he could probably grab it and refine it in an instant.

It's a pity that giving too much would lead to misunderstandings, otherwise Lin Li really wanted to use Li Sheng as a way to monetize his wealth.

Yang Liang: "..."

So this undercover agent didn't go in himself, but used his good friend as a guinea pig.

"...They were very good friends."

Sure enough, it's hard to find any human among those who hang out with Lin Li.

"It's like this," Lin Li smiled, then pushed the restaurant's menu towards the two of them:
"Uncle Yan, Uncle Yang, we'll be sitting here for at least another half hour. Why don't you order something to drink? Even if you're not thirsty, consider it payment for our half hour of seating."

"Row."

As Lin Li said, although the waiters in the store haven't shown anything yet, it's really inappropriate to sit there for half an hour without ordering anything, so Yan Aosong and Yang Liang both nodded in agreement.

After looking at the fancy menu for a while, he pushed it back to Lin Li:
"Lin Li, I haven't had much milk tea. Which ones are good?"

“You two have come to the right person,”

Lin Li's eyes lit up, and he immediately began making recommendations:
"Uncle, if you like oranges, I recommend this 'Bangda Today Orange'. They're all fresh oranges from the same day."

"If you like peaches, I recommend this Four Seasons Peach, which has a very Korean flavor."

"If you want more passion fruit flavor on top of peach, then I highly recommend this Peach Thick Cream Asuka. It uses overnight passion fruit. Although it's overnight, it's just like overnight garlic sprouts, absolutely top-notch!"

"and this……"

Yan Aosong and Yang Liang: "(；☉_☉)?"

What is this kid babbling about?

None of these are on the menu, you idiot!
……

The wait wasn't long; after about twenty minutes, Lin Li narrowed his eyes and tapped the table with his knuckles to attract Yang Liang and Yan Aosong's attention.

"Uncle, you're here."

Before Lin Li finished speaking, Yang Liang and Yan Aosong's eyes instantly sharpened, and they entered working mode.

The two quickly put down their nearly finished drinks, leaned forward slightly, and discreetly stared at the black sedan that had stopped in front of their target's door.

"Let's set off then." After confirming their destination, Yang Liang and Yan Aosong stood up.

"Wait wait wait wait!"

Upon hearing Lin Li's voice, Yan Aosong and Yang Liang quickly turned around and looked at Lin Li with concern: "What's wrong?"

Lin Li remained silent, his expression solemn. He placed his hands on Yan Aosong and Yang Liang's shoulders, took a deep breath, and then sincerely said, "I love you guys."

The moment the heartfelt confession ended, Lin Li turned and walked out of the store.

He said it all he wanted, leaving Yang Liang and Yan Aosong dumbfounded.

A few seconds later. Yan Aosong: "What's Lin Li doing? Is he having an episode?"

Yang Liang: "Is it imitating the dialogue when the three Spider-Mans are in the same frame?"

Yan Aosong: "Huh? Ah? Eh? Yangliang, you can even understand the meaning Oo?"

Yang Liang: "Maybe I'm already sick."

Yan Aosong: "Okay, I need to work harder to become sick."

Yang Liang: "Then don't bother trying. I'm beyond saving. You should slow down."

Yan Aosong: "Try my best."

After this conversation, which was far removed from humanity but very close to the divine, Yan Aosong and Yang Liang exchanged a glance, nodded, and quickly followed Lin Li.

They were already in plainclothes, so they didn't need any disguise at this moment and walked straight towards the shop across the street.

None of the three of them actually concealed their actions. Even the shop owner who came out noticed them walking across the street, but only glanced at them.

In his eyes, the three of them seemed more like customers who wanted to come in and buy something.

Therefore, after glancing at him, the shop owner went directly to the somewhat thin man who had just gotten out of the black sedan.

After a few brief words, the driver unloaded several cardboard boxes with blurry markings from the trunk of the car and piled them up at the shop entrance. The shop owner then took out a wad of banknotes to hand over.

"Hello, may I rob you?"

Lin Li suddenly appeared next to the two of them.

Actually, it was a case of acting first and informing later, because when Lin Li spoke, he had already reached out and taken the money, putting it in his pocket.

Shop owner and driver: "?"

Before the two could say anything, Lin Li pointed to the entrance of the convenience store and reminded them, "Boss, I saw the city management vehicle when I came here. You should put it away if you can."

"Also, Uncle, you can't park for long at the entrance, so remember to drive away early, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble if you run into someone."

"Oh? Oh, thank you, thank you."

"Okay, I'm off then, bye-bye."

"Bye-bye." The shop owner and the driver nodded.

What a good child! He has a kind heart and is so kind that it's like a gentle breeze to warm people's hearts.

Lin Li gradually disappeared into the distance.

"..."

"Wait a moment!!"

"Hey! Kid! You fucking give us our money back!"

"No." Lin Li turned around with a grin.

The shop owner and driver belatedly realized something was wrong and rushed over to try and grab the lunatic.

It turned out that this kid was exceptionally agile. Although he didn't run far and stayed right by the door, he could easily outmaneuver the two of them, preventing them from even touching the hem of their clothes.

The shop owner glared angrily: "You son of a bitch, I'll fucking fuck you, you son of a bitch!"

The shop owner has the bearing of an Earth Shadow—his Dust Release: Mother's Separation Technique is used with unparalleled skill.

Seeing that Lin Li didn't care at all, the shop owner became even more furious: "Damn it, I'm calling the police!"

Yang Liang and Yan Aosong, standing to the side, shook their heads helplessly—they knew that this was the moment Lin Li had been waiting for.

Therefore, although they had been in position for half a minute, they did not intervene in advance, but simply stood by and watched Lin Li perform his tricks.

Linli is, after all, our own pet, so we should spoil him.

Maybe after he's had his fun with those two, he won't bother with his own people anymore.

"Hello, we have received your emergency call and have dispatched officers. We are the police. Please do not move."

As Lin Li had hoped, after the shop owner shouted this, Yan Aosong and Yang Liang responded in a deep voice, while simultaneously showing their police IDs.

The shop owner and driver were taken aback, then pleasantly surprised, turning to look at Yang Liang and Yan Aosong: "Perfect timing, perfect timing, police..."

The shop owner and driver, who had been pointing at Lin Li, froze when they realized that the two men's eyes were not fixed on Lin Li.

The smile gradually shifted to Lin Li's face.
Kou Xi, that's the mouth and teeth I want to see.

Yang Liang stepped forward and firmly grabbed the driver's wrist.

The shop owner seemed to realize something, froze on the spot, and the color drained from his face.

"What...what are you doing? That kid stole our money..." The shop owner tried to remain calm, but his voice trembled.

"The Xiling Town Public Security Bureau is conducting enforcement in conjunction with the County Tobacco Monopoly Bureau," Yang Liang said calmly.

"We have received reliable intelligence that your store is suspected of illegally purchasing and selling counterfeit and substandard cigarettes, and we are now conducting an inspection in accordance with the law."

Yan Aosong also said to the delivery driver, "And you, you are suspected of transporting and selling counterfeit and substandard cigarettes. Please cooperate with the investigation."

Lin Li raised his hand with a smile: "Me too, me too, I'm suspected of illegally robbing others of their property."

But at that moment, no one understood Lin Li's humor.

The shop owner and driver were clearly at a loss.

Yang Liang gestured for the two to stand aside, and under their frightened gazes, he directly opened a cardboard box that had just been moved down.

Neatly stacked inside were rows of exquisitely packaged cigarettes.

From the perspective of packaging appearance, these cigarettes are almost indistinguishable from the real ones, and the average person really can't tell at a glance that they are fake cigarettes.

The two scanned the anti-counterfeiting label and QR code on the packaging, and a message popped up saying that the verification was genuine—but upon closer inspection, they found that the website was fake.

Yang Liang began calling for backup, while Lin Li and Yan Aosong went inside the convenience store counter to conduct a search.

Soon, they found more stock of the same brand of counterfeit cigarettes as the ones that had just been delivered in the storage compartment under the counter, as well as some sales records.

Immediately, evidence was secured by photographing, counting, and recording the counterfeit cigarettes, sales records, and cash transactions found at the scene. Lin Li participated in the entire process for the mission.

With the evidence laid bare and no room for argument, the shop owner and delivery driver didn't cause a scene. They hung their heads, probably plotting how to get a lighter punishment.

Having already given prior notice, several local demon-suppressing officers quickly arrived in police cars. After instructing the shop owner to close the shop, they took the two back to the Demon-Suppressing Bureau.

Lin Li glanced at the system; for now, it was still (0/2).

I don't know if it will be settled together later, or if this won't count.

But this was something that could only be left to fate, so Lin Li didn't dwell on it or waste time on internal conflicts. Instead, he looked at Yang Liang and Yan Aosong:

"Uncle Yang, Uncle Yan, shall we move to another location?"

The two nodded.

"The exact location has been sent to you both on WeChat."

"Okay, let's go."

The two nodded again and then returned to their respective cars.

Lin Li: "Whose car should I get in?"

Yang Liang enthusiastically pointed to Yan Aosong's car and invited, "Lin Li, why don't you get in your Uncle Yan's car?"

Yan Aosong enthusiastically pointed to Yang Liang's car and invited, "Lin Li, why don't you get in your Uncle Yang's car?"

Lin Li: "OVO"

"..."

Lin Li smiled and shook his head, another day of feeling helpless against his own charm.

My two uncles actually started arguing over the chance to spend time with me.

Sigh, being too outstanding can be a problem.
