Of course, the premise is that they only know "Chen Yu Ying is helping Lin Li out of a sense of responsibility as a class leader", rather than knowing "Chen Yu Ying and Lin Li are dating". If it were the latter, Xue Jian would probably be so angry he'd wipe snot bubbles all over Lin Li's clothes.
Seeing Chen Yu Ying insist, and since it wasn't really a troubleso task, Lin Li nodded, feeling a secret joy in his heart, and handed it over to her outwardly with obvious delight.
Is this the happiness of having everything handed to you?
"Then it seems like the only thing left for to do," Lin Li stood up, revealing his mischievous side, "is to practice Iron Sand Palm!"
"Hmm?" Chen Yu Ying was puzzled.
"I'm practicing dodging. I have a friend who got beaten to a pulp like a one-eared cat during a speech by Inspector Black Cat... Giving speeches is dangerous, and I don't want to repeat his mistakes."
Lin Li spoke nostalgically, with a hint of sadness.
Chen Yu Ying blinked, almost unwilling to admit one thing—she was getting used to it.
Does Lin Li have another friend who was ambushed by sprayers during a speech, left feeling cold inside?
Lin Li: "Oh, by the way, I have another friend..."
Chen Yu Ying laughed.
Ah, the young girl tapped her own head, chalking it up as a charitable act.
...
Wednesday, early morning.
"You don't have any previous record, is this your first ti?"
"Yeah."
"You're quite young, and you've got hands and feet, why choose the no-return path of petty theft?"
Xiang Yangliang looked through the information he found on his phone, then turned to the thief squatting beside him, and comnted with slight regret.
"Needed money," the squatting thief answered gloomily,
"Having hands and feet doesn't help much. It doesn't bring any change; labor work only earns you a bit. At the end of the month when my salary cos in, I don't even bother checking the breakdown, I just assu it's a refund for sothing I bought..."
"Making money with hands and feet is easy, have you ever considered accidentally getting your hands and feet stuck in a machine at work? I guarantee you could earn more than just 'a bit' of money from it, maybe fifty thousand to start."
Lin Li offered a seemingly wise life suggestion but then added a warning:
"But be precise about 'accidentally'; last ti in the factory, I intended to slip and fall into a machine accidentally.
But ended up disappointed when I accidentally slipped onto a female colleague's butt, and due to gravity, accidentally ended up licking a couple of tis. As a result of this mistake, I didn't earn fifty thousand, but instead lost fifty thousand."
Thief: "..."
You're very 'accidental' indeed.
"Stop giving bad ideas here!"
Xiang Yangliang reached out in frustration and smacked Lin Li on the head.
"How about I give a good idea?" Lin Li, seeing Xiang Yangliang seed about to chase him down, sidestepped out of the way, then adopted a slightly serious deanor, looked at the thief and spoke sincerely and warmly:
"Buddy, shortcuts are always the crooked path, hard work is the only way. Since when has hard work not brought change?"
"Don't limit your vision to just the present. Look at my Uncle Yang, he's a pri example..."
Lin Li gestured towards Xiang Yangliang.
Yet Xiang Yangliang, upon seeing Lin Li about to use him as a positive example, couldn't help but straighten his posture.
"He was as poor as you when he was young, but my uncle worked hard and steadily for a few years, and life did change: he's not young anymore."
Thief, Xiang Yangliang: "?"
"Hiss——"
With his butt kicked by Xiang Yangliang, Lin Li inhaled sharply.
"You little rascal, squat here as well. From now on, you too enjoy the treatnt of a suspect," Xiang Yangliang said with a teasing smile, "Shouldn't trust anything decent that cos out of that mouth of yours."
Lin Li: "Uncle, are you still young?"
Lin Li thought there was nothing wrong with what he had just said.
Xiang Yangliang took a deep breath, with a smile gradually appearing: "Lin Li, do you know last ti I responded to an incident and my baton accidentally fell and rolled five or six tis on a suspect's face, knocking out a tooth."
Oh man, why didn't you say so earlier, OoO!
Lin Li suddenly realized, maybe what he said just now was indeed problematic.
However, Uncle Yang's learning ability is quite good, eting a ntor like himself, it's his lucky day.
Lin Li then squatted beside the thief.
Providing so advice to the thief next to him:
"Your head-hugging posture isn't standard, don't let your fingers stick into your hair, press your wrist, press it down to protect the back of your head, also, bury your face lower, don't let these cops see our expressions, it might provoke them, plus, keep your legs together, don't spread them, makes you a smaller target."
Thief: "?"
Buddy, why are you so experienced?
"Why isn't Ao Song back yet." Seeing Lin Li finally behaving, Xiang Yangliang mumbled to himself, leaning against the police car using his phone.
At this mont, it was 1 AM.
As for why the three of them were gathered here, it was similar to the previous situation: Lin Li had received new intel about a thief's operation from Li Sheng, and then pulled in the other two.
Yan Aosong was currently cleaning up the aftermath within the community, and explaining the situation simply to the awakened residents.
Since the task was almost complete, Lin Li no longer needed to stir up fuss or arrange bribes, so this ti Lin Li just followed the two's instructions.
This was also the reason they weren't continuing to catch thieves, instead watching the thief with Xiang Yangliang here.
"Coming, coming." Perhaps Xiang Yangliang's urging on the phone had worked, as Yan Aosong soon appeared with a light jog.
"Where's the remaining suspect?" Xiang Yangliang asked.
"I asked the community mbers to help keep an eye on him," Yan Aosong ca over, gestured for the thief present to get up and follow him, then spoke to Lin Li and Xiang Yangliang:
"The colleagues are also on their way, Xiang Yangliang, you can take Lin Li back first."
