Chapter 29

Lin Li returned to his seat with a gloomy face.

As mentioned before, Lin Li's English grades were average, and his spoken English was even more of a pile of trash; Lin Li could spell many words, but reading them out loud was a no-go.

I just achieved the great result of zero in the recitation test, why don't you try it too.

In short, he would be assigned to recite again next class.

Bai Bufan's recitation was actually also a pile of dog shit, but he managed to stumble through it, and only needed to recite it to the group leader after class.

This was nothing at all; the group leader was a buddy, so he'd just turn a blind eye and let it pass.

Now Bai Bufan had something he was even more curious about; facing his English textbook, his eyes had long been darting toward Lin Li:

"Lin Li, what's going on? What did the principal want with you?"

"A confession," the depressed Lin Li replied.

Bai Bufan: "?"

"I said a teacher-student romance isn't appropriate, and I'll consider it after I graduate," Lin Li said with a straight face.

Bai Bufan carefully recalled the principal's image in his mind, a feeling of admiration arose spontaneously, and he cupped his hands: "You are truly hungry."

Then Bai Bufan, with quick eyes and fast hands, intercepted the two envelopes Lin Li intended to put into his drawer, and seeing they weren't sealed, he violated Lin Li's privacy on the spot by opening them, then widened his eyes.

His thoughts racing, Bai Bufan looked at Lin Li with compassionate eyes: "Did the principal force herself on you? Is this hush money? Lin Li, buy some good blockers, don't get sick."

Lin Li couldn't be bothered to respond.

"Wait, will you never have sound when you fart again?" But Bai Bufan discovered a blind spot.

Lin Li: "?"

After greeting Bai Bufan's ancestors, Lin Li took the envelopes back; the envelope containing money was tossed casually into the drawer.

In school, money left in a drawer or even on a desk is very safe; not to mention that most classmates wouldn't covet such things, in this day and age, the large surveillance camera above the front door is watching everyone.

However, if it were tissues or snacks, then let alone leaving them on the desk, even putting them in a drawer is extremely dangerous.

Especially tissues; if you return even a little late after PE class, it's just like an egg on an Indian roadside, you can only see its empty, ravaged remains after being gang-raped by many.

Lin Li began to count the value of the supermarket cards.

"Why are there supermarket cards? And they can only be exchanged for these things. Lin Li, I remember you don't really know how to cook, right? Can you make use of them?" Bai Bufan asked after seeing the contents of the envelope.

"Who said I don't know how to cook? I've mastered many recipes. Let me put it this way, I have a homemade side dish~" Lin Li said in an authentic Beijing accent.

Bai Bufan reacted quickly: "No soy sauce allowed."

"... Then it's gone."

The three characteristics and one core of Teacher Yu Qian's recipes: the characteristics are simple, cheap, and bad-tasting; the core is soy sauce.

Go back and learn Teacher Huang Lei's recipes; his seem quite impressive, basically no bad reviews on the show.

Who said these recipes aren't good? These recipes are fantastic.

After counting, the value of the supply cards was nearly eight hundred, and even if cashed out, there was a floor of seven hundred, which could be kept as a backup hidden energy source for a rainy day.

Bai Bufan couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked: "Brother, what on earth happened? I beg you, brother, tell me. I feel like ants are crawling all over my body right now, I'm so anxious I want to shit all over the floor."

"Nothing much, I helped our local police station solve a case over the weekend. They came to give me a commendation letter today, and by the way, gave me these bonuses and gifts," Lin Li said.

Because the commendation letter had to be posted, it wasn't realistic to hide it completely, and it would be troublesome to be constantly questioned later, so it was better to just say it roughly.

"Really? That awesome?" Bai Bufan widened his eyes; this sounded a bit more credible than the principal's confession. "What kind of case? The bonus must be several thousand, right? What did you do to get so much?"

"I discovered and arrived at the crime scene, and after confirming the criminal facts, I immediately called the police. Then I personally engaged in close-quarters combat with one of the suspects to stall for time.

My body endured her countless kneadings and pressings; many times I couldn't help but cry out, but relying on my unyielding conviction, I persisted until the police arrived. Finally, the case was thoroughly cleared, returning a bright and clear sky to our Xilingzhen."

Lin Li smiled slightly, calmly stating his glorious battle record.

"Brother, stop bragging, just tell me the truth. Did you pick up a wallet containing one hundred million in cash?" This description was too ridiculous; Bai Bufan didn't believe it at all.

"If there's a single lie in that sentence, I'll be impotent." Lin Li sneered, looking coldly at Bai Bufan.

Now he had to believe it; Bai Bufan knew Lin Li would never joke about his authentic manhood.

And Lin Li truly hadn't lied at all just now.

He only regretted not battling with Xiao Jing for another twenty minutes.

Bai Bufan covered his mouth in shock, then scanned Lin Li's body, seemingly looking for lingering wounds, but found none.

"The pain is in my heart, not on my body. In this incident, the greatest torture I suffered was spiritual," Lin Li said indifferently.

This sentence was also true; heart-broken over those twenty minutes he didn't get to experience.

Bai Bufan was truly convinced: "You're really awesome, but your physique is so weak, couldn't the criminal beat you? Isn't that a bit of a joke?"

"No matter how weak a person is, as long as they use a sliding tackle, even a tiger can only accept the fate of being disemboweled by toenails, let alone someone who was unprepared. Besides, I'm no longer the weak self I was before.

Bufan, quit lust. You haven't truly quit lust, so you don't understand. Quitting lust is just like this."

"Who hasn't truly quit lust? What's hard about quitting lust? I quit every day," Bai Bufan said, his face turning red. How could he slander someone's innocence out of thin air? "But you still haven't said, what was the case? Was someone robbing, or was someone stealing?"

The question was asked very well, don't ask again next time.

But Lin Li was well-prepared.

"I've already discussed this with the school and the police station; it needs to be kept confidential, so I'm sorry, I can't tell you," Lin Li said with the demeanor of a high-level expert.

"But you know, I'm very tight-lipped. I also swear on my manhood, Dad, tell me, I definitely won't tell anyone else." Bai Bufan's heart was itching terribly right now, his whole body felt prickly.

"Buddha says: Cannot be spoken." Lin Li smiled and shook his head. "Bufan, just attend class honestly."

Lin Li adjusted his posture, preparing to enter sleep mode; he hadn't forgotten his original intention.

Bai Bufan was so angry his teeth itched.

Not long after.

Bai Bufan suddenly turned his head again.

Xilingzhen is not a big place.

The speed of news circulation here should be quite fast, but this week, he really hadn't heard of any major cases occurring.

And assisting in solving a case, what could there be that can't be said? How glorious and awesome it is, and even he can't be told.

The bond between him and Lin Li, let's put it this way: if the two of them are sitting on the sofa watching TV and one person can't find the remote, they would absolutely never question the other person if the remote is under their butt.

What on earth is there that can't be told to him?

—Unless it's the anti-vice case Zhou Baowei told him about.

"Lin Li, you wouldn't have assisted in the crackdown on that massage parlor Baowei mentioned, would you?" Bai Bufan asked.

Lin Li closed his eyes.

"I know you're not asleep."

Lin Li opened his eyes and immediately rolled them, saying speechlessly: "How is that possible? Don't bother me, I'm going to sleep."

"Oh." Bai Bufan nodded; it seems he overthought it.

One minute later.

Bai Bufan turned his head again.

He associated this with Lin Li's reaction when he heard Zhou Baowei talk about this matter not long ago.

He just felt something was wrong.

So he said gloomily:

"Lin Li, can you swear on your chicken roll again?"
