Isn't the saying "things don't happen more than three times"?

"Little Lin, did you just say... not more than five times?"

"Mm-hmm," Lin Li nodded.

Sir, I don't want to either. It's all the system's fault.

Yang Liang took a deep breath and counted on his fingers in his mind. One, two, three, four... meaning there were still two more times.

"Little Lin... do you guys know about other chicken farms in other places?" Yang Liang asked with narrowed eyes.

"No, that's not the case," Lin Li shook his head.

"It's also a crime to conceal information," Yang Liang continued.

"That's not the case either."

"Bufan, do you know then?"

"Me? I don't know either. I just listen to Lin Li. This is my first time in this kind of place. I'm scared to death," Bai Bufan shook his head, not showing any cowardice.

Lin Li gave Bai Bufan an approving look and a thumbs-up. Bai Bufan, in turn, patted his chest in a small gesture, indicating that he could be trusted to handle things.

"When you two give a thumbs-up and pat your chests next time, can you avoid me? It feels a bit disrespectful," Yang Liang said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

Bai Bufan and Lin Li immediately and tacitly looked out their respective windows and started whistling.

If these two kids didn't know about other chicken farms, he would take Lin Li's last name.

But Yang Liang just sighed and didn't press further.

To be honest, if he had used the threat of telling their parents what they were doing, or directly used legal reasons, he could probably have threatened Bai Bufan and Lin Li.

As for brothers? Three棍打散兄弟情, the confession would be full of the brother's name.

But there was no need for that. Doing so would be a bit disheartening and would only dampen the two kids' enthusiasm.

—Even if their enthusiasm was skewed towards a positive direction.

"I hope it's really not more than five times," Yang Liang could only sigh.

"I'm a very trustworthy person," Lin Li said, patting his chest proudly.

Yang Liang, whose mood had improved a little upon hearing this, was about to praise him when he heard Bai Bufan ask, "What about the other ninety percent?"

"Not trustworthy," Lin Li answered in a second.

The premise of not more than five times was that the system would no longer issue related tasks. If it went crazy in this area again and made him go all the way, then it might really be more than five times.

Yang Liang: "?"

"It's a percentage system?!"

Yang Liang stepped on the gas.

You two damn kids, I'll run you over!

...

He didn't run them over.

Yang Liang was still soft-hearted in the end.

They arrived safely at the station, and the statements were also recorded.

Lin Li and Bai Bufan were waiting at the entrance for Yang Liang to take them back—Yang Liang still had some things to do inside first.

"Are you going straight back to school later or what?" After taking Bai Bufan's 'ID photo', Lin Li returned the phone to him and then asked.

"I definitely have to go back to the dorm. I have something urgent to do later. By the way, Lin Li, I'll log back into my cloud drive account tonight. But I'll log in on my mobile device, so you can still use it on your computer. It won't be a problem," Bai Bufan said.

"What about the talent you brought to the 'abstinence' bar?" Lin Li couldn't hold it in. "You little brat, you're still the familiar binary abstinence warrior. Abstinence is only 0s and 1s."

"The 'abstinence' bar said they were already champions before I came. They don't welcome me. Tomorrow, I'll definitely start abstaining tomorrow!" Bai Bufan said with some embarrassment.

"You know how to abstain," Lin Li expressed his high approval of this.

"By the way, Lin Li, I have a question," Bai Bufan suddenly remembered something and asked.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"Have you noticed that Uncle Yang's attitude towards me seems to be particularly bad? It's a bit of an aggressive bad. But he's particularly good to you. Why is that?" Bai Bufan asked in a low voice.

Whether it was his tone, attitude, or gaze, it all clearly indicated this point.

If he was like this to everyone, it would be fine. It could be considered a personality issue. But without comparison, there is no harm. Yang Liang's attitude towards Lin Li was completely different. Bai Bufan's 'fragile' heart had been severely hit.

"I can explain that," Lin Li thought for a moment and said. "You must not tell anyone. Do you remember why Uncle Yang specifically asked about your family situation?

It's like this, Uncle Yang has an unspeakable secret... so, he has no children, and he doesn't want to adopt. So he hopes that I will take care of him in his old age. His attitude towards me is naturally very good. He knows there's no hope for you, so his attitude is just casual. Get it?"

Bai Bufan had a sudden realization.

The moment Lin Li explained, he understood everything.

So Uncle Yang was also a pitiful person.

"Let's go, I'll take you back," Yang Liang finally came out of the station and walked up to the two of them.

"What's with that expression? Bufan, I really have to talk to you. Pay attention to your behavior when you're out. Not just outside, it's the same inside and out. Don't let yourself affect others and lead them down the wrong path," Yang Liang noticed Bai Bufan's strange gaze and immediately lectured him.

Bai Bufan didn't understand what Yang Liang was implicitly criticizing him for at all. Knowing the truth, he was extremely tolerant and magnanimous at this moment. He nodded heavily, "Yes! Uncle Yang, I know! You too, keep it up!"

Yang Liang: "?"

Something felt strange.

...

"Are you really not coming to Uncle's house for dinner tomorrow?" The car stopped at the entrance of the community. Yang Liang rolled down the window and asked Lin Li, who was walking home.

Bai Bufan had already been sent back to school.

"Really not, thank you, Uncle. This will delay your clearing of the chicken farms. You should go back and continue the interrogation now," Lin Li turned back and said sincerely to Yang Liang.

The progress of his two missions had not yet been displayed. But with his previous experience, he was not worried at all. But it was better to be as early as possible. Lin Li was quite looking forward to the pills the system would give him.

Even if it was a "stretch your legs and stare" pill, it would be good.

Yang Liang: "..."

He's already assuming I have to work overtime tonight and tomorrow?

Yang Liang, who had wanted to continue chatting, silently stepped on the gas and drove away. The conversation couldn't go on.

Back at home, Lin Li lay comfortably on the sofa at home.

Just as he was about to scroll through some short videos to critique the dancing bloggers and compare them with tonight's dance, Lin Li found that he had received many messages on his WeChat.

After he turned off the vibration for message notifications, he was often not as sensitive to messages.

[Song Luping: Bufan! I just heard the news, Tianhong was also raided! Our perfect preparations actually didn't work! Bufan, you didn't go this week, did you?]

A screenshot of a chat with someone else. The chat was about the news that Tianhong had been busted.

A few minutes later, seeing that Lin Li hadn't replied:

[Song Luping: Bufan, don't scare me. Say something!]

[Song Luping: I don't even dare to call you. I'm afraid you can't answer the phone, but I'm even more afraid that it's not you who answers the phone!]

Ten minutes later.

[Song Luping: Is that you...]

[Song Luping: It should be you and your brother.]

[Song Luping: Bro, I'm so sorry!!! Bro, I'm really so sorry! If I had recommended you somewhere else, you wouldn't have been caught! I'm sorry!!!]
