Chapter 563: Chapter 319: After so many years, are you still unwilling to put effort into your words?_2

"I’m sorry, I’m truly sorry this time, bro."

...

Evening.

Lin Li rode his bike to Old Friend Road once more.

The goal wasn’t fishing; there’s no way to fish at Xiling now.

Although Mission Three was interrupted midway due to the regulation of Old Friend Road, it’s okay. Uncle Yan’s reach extends to Old Friend Road but doesn’t extend outside Xiling.

The mission is within the Nansang territory; it doesn’t mean only in Xiling. And Xiling is already one of the best towns economically in Nansang, with a link between security and economy. So as long as it’s a weekend, I can fish accurately by going to other towns.

But this would be more troublesome, so before the mission deadline, it’s only a backup plan.

Tonight’s purpose is the same as last night’s—to expand social connections—get to know some street kids, social proteges, and social kings.

Surely, in Xiling, there must be non-emotion-related sins occurring—gambling, provoking trouble, theft, fraud, pyramid schemes. These common types could all be happening. I just have no idea or way to know.

And from the experience gained in clearing the Joyful Union Sect task, I need someone who understands these things to lead me.

Lin Li’s own social circle doesn’t connect him with people in the grey area, and these illegal activities differ from the common man’s thoughts in a male’s perspective.

It’s impossible for anyone to share openly like Song Luping does.

Therefore, Lin Li’s plan now is to go indirect and first get to know a few vocational and technical school students.

They like to hang out and play; they definitely know more about this than I do.

Get to know the street kids first, then from there get to know the proteges and the kings.

Blindly approaching the proteges and kings would easily lead to trouble.

Even if the kids haven’t made a name for themselves, they surely know something about ill acts within their schools.

The 80s and violence on campus, Lin Li believes, should also be considered system-approved crimes—after all, in the Cultivation Realm, there’s no juvenile protection law, evil is evil.

Though still speculative, it doesn’t hurt to try it out first since there’s no loss anyway.

And after placing a few street informants, even if this mission is completed, staying informed is definitely not a bad thing. If anything happens or any fun arises in these places, I can also take a look.

Maybe this could even trigger some other system tasks.

Of course, though the plan is set, carrying it out still involves some difficulties.

After all, you can’t just find a group to place informants; who knows if they’ll consider you one of them. If one person is unwilling, then no one would be. You have to ask those who are alone.

But late at night, there are rarely lone people who seem like students wandering around here, filtering out a large group.

However, Lin Li is pretty easygoing.

His plan tonight was to just walk around the schools here a couple of times. If he couldn’t find a target, he’d just leave it. Last night, because he didn’t find a suitable target, he roamed around a bit and went straight home.

But maybe people won’t always go unrewarded. Tonight was different from last night. After walking for a few minutes, Lin Li saw a group laughing and separating at the intersection.

Some of them were wearing school uniforms.

At this moment, two of them were each walking in a different direction.

By coincidence, one was walking towards Lin Li’s side and seemed quite sharp. Lin Li decided to stay put and wait.

As the person approached, Lin Li stepped forward, holding a few RMB bills in his hand, and spoke gently, "Hey buddy, can we have a chat? I need your help with something, it’s paid and long-term."

"Huh? Me?" The person turned their head to Lin Li upon hearing this, and responded.

"Yes—"

But in the next second, before Lin Li could finish, the other person’s eyes widened, and they turned and ran back to the intersection.

Lin Li: "?"

Running?

But the next second, Lin Li was somewhat excited. Could it be that he hit the jackpot, a blind cat catching a dead rat, and this guy is actually one of the guilty ones?

Thinking of this, Lin Li quickly started to give chase.

In terms of running speed, there are not many creatures in this world faster than Lin Li right now.

The distance between them wasn’t large to begin with, so the person was quickly caught and thrown down.

"Speak quickly—" Lin Li was just about to ask why he ran.

But only saw the other person already curled up with their head covered, their voice filled with fear, "Don’t hit me with the belt! Don’t hit me with the belt!"

Lin Li: "(;゜○゜)?"

Hold up.

"Wait a minute, buddy, what you’re saying is a bit confusing, let me think." Lin Li got up from him, his expression complex:

"Do you...know me?"

Though he didn’t want to admit it, Lin Li thought that in all of Xiling, if there’s anyone who would hit someone with that, it’s only him.

No, not him, it’s the Black Silk Hero.

Sorry, Black Silk Hero, we’ve cut off justice.

"I mean no harm, you might have misunderstood something. Don’t worry, I won’t shame you." But Lin Li planned to calm him down first.

Seeing that Lin Li truly didn’t act against him, the other person released his grip on his head, and seeing that Lin Li didn’t stop him, he stood up as well.

His expression was equally complex, and hearing Lin Li’s earlier words, he pursed his lips and slowly spoke, "Wow, it’s really you..."

"Do you...know the students who were caught last week?" Lin Li asked.

Normally, such things wouldn’t spread so easily, but given they were students and their age, it wouldn’t be impossible for the news to spread after their early release.
