Chapter 352: You are all my wings (Please vote for monthly tickets)

"Don't say anything similar ever again."

Lin Li, whose mouth had been itching to speak, obediently shut it upon hearing this.

Damn it, he'd been anticipated; the fun he wanted to share couldn't be voiced.

He had thought his relationship with the two uncles was good enough that they would accept everything about him, but was that really all there was to it...

The last time Lin Li felt such intense disappointment, frustration, and regret was when he went to a wholesale market full of excitement, only to find there was no wholesaling at all.

That time was truly disappointing and infuriating; even if they didn't have the real thing, they could have at least provided a fake, like a Spring Breeze Elf.

But they didn't provide either real or fake—what kind of wholesale market was that?

So disappointing.

Yan Aosong looked at Lin Li, whose expressions were rich and constantly switching between disappointment, disgust, lewdness, and cheekiness, and his own expression was complex.

What on earth is this kid thinking about now?

Forget it, he didn't dare ask; Yan Aosong was afraid of opening Pandora's box.

In myths, Pandora's box eventually leaves hope inside, but in reality, there's no such luck; all that's left in Pandora's box is a desiccant.

However, Yan Aosong was now curious about one thing—after a zombie opens Lin Li's brain, would it feast with gusto, or discard it like worn-out shoes?

Regardless, it could probably be counted as a "ninety-nine percent rare item," right?

"..."

Yang Liang looked at Lin Li, whose expressions were constantly switching between disappointment, disgust, lewdness, and cheekiness, and at Yan Aosong, whose expressions were switching between anticipation, disgust, sighing, and wanting to laugh, and his own expression was, for lack of a better word, incredibly complex.

No, Aosong, how could you too...

This is bad; could his old colleague's brain also be filled with priests and little boys now?

Damn it, Lin Li is still too dangerous.

Yang Liang coughed, and only then did Yan Aosong snap back to reality. He pressed his fist against his nose in slight embarrassment, smiled sheepishly, then looked at Yang Liang and waved his hand—signaling that he couldn't help it, he couldn't persuade him.

Yang Liang shook his head and then nodded—that was normal, so let Lin Li be.

Yan Aosong nodded, got out of the car, and switched to the back seat, sitting next to Lin Li and watching the "surveillance" footage on Lin Li's phone.

Now, they could only hope that the thief Lin Li spoke of would arrive as promised and not keep them waiting too long.

To be honest.

Being sandwiched between two Demon Suppression Envoys felt strange; it felt a bit like being in a "prison-bound" series.

Especially the way these two uncles looked at him—it felt even stricter than when they looked at criminals; every move he made could stir their emotions.

If he turned his head to pick his nose, both of them would demand, "Don't move! Hands up!"

Where are the animal protection organizations? Protect his human rights!

But soon, Lin Li's mind was no longer on this.

—Because there was movement in the "surveillance."

Three people suddenly walked into the frame one after another and headed toward the building.

No car was captured; he didn't know if they had parked outside the surveillance range or hadn't driven at all.

"Uncle, I feel like these three are the targets."

Lin Li looked up at Yang Liang and Yan Aosong.

There was basically no one in this old residential area late at night; the three of them had been here for over an hour, and only three people had appeared in the surveillance footage so far.

One was a woman who seemed to have just gotten off work and was in a hurry to get home, and the other two were clearly drunk.

But now, three sober people had arrived; not only did the number match the intelligence Li Cheng had given, but their behavior was also highly suspicious.

Late at night, wearing masks and hats, they were subconsciously observing their surroundings as they walked toward Building Four.

"I think so too."

"It seems your source really did give you genuine information."

Yang Liang and Yan Aosong looked at the footage on the monitor and nodded, acknowledging Lin Li's judgment.

"Since that's the case, we can move out."

"Let's go, time to close the net."

The two opened their respective car doors at the same time, then subconsciously waved at Lin Li, signaling for him to follow.

Lin Li: "..."

Lin Li was sitting in the middle of the back row.

Although it was a bit strange, the current scene gave Lin Li the illusion of "Lin Li, do you love Daddy or Mommy more?"

As everyone knows, Lin Li only chooses "or" when given "a or b."

—Lin Li loves Chen Yuying.

So, looking at Yan Aosong opening the door on the left and Yang Liang opening the door on the right, Lin Li chose the way of exiting that would get the most comments—using his long legs to climb into the passenger seat before opening the door and stepping out.

Yan Aosong, Yang Liang: "?"

To be honest, they couldn't understand why Lin Li did that at all; in fact, they didn't care whether Lin Li got out from the left or the right.

Normal humans couldn't keep up with Lin Li's thought process; who would have thought Lin Li did this to prevent the two of them from getting jealous?

"Lin Li, what are you doing?" the two asked.

"Uncle, you are both my wings; I just want everyone to be happy." Lin Li's voice was earnest, and his tone was even more gentle.

Yan Aosong, Yang Liang: "(；o_o)?"

What gibberish is he spouting?

Forget it, never mind; this is Lin Li, it's normal for him to act crazy.

Closing the car door and watching the three people who had already entered the unit door of Building Four on his phone, Lin Li walked toward Building Four while emphasizing to Yan Aosong and Yang Liang:

"Uncle, don't forget what we agreed on; afterwards, absolutely do not say that the intelligence was provided by someone inside their group. You can falsely claim that when they were scouting the place earlier, a resident here noticed and warned us."

"Anyway, just find a reason."

"Otherwise, my informant will likely be unwilling or it won't be so easy to get new information."

"We know."

Yang Liang and Yan Aosong nodded, not refuting Lin Li.

This request was reasonable and meaningful.

Regardless of who Lin Li's informant was, if the other party could really provide information, and it appeared effective now, then it would definitely bring positive feedback for improving the security of Xilingzhen. So, setting Lin Li aside, the two of them fully supported this.

Arriving downstairs.

Relying on his excellent memory, Lin Li immediately noticed an extra small van in a secluded corner on the side of the building.

The keys should still be hanging in it, because the headlights were still on.

When Lin Li pointed it out, the three walked toward the van.

Each household in the Fengsheng Residential Area had only one unit door, so there was no need to worry about this group vanishing into thin air.

"The car has fake plates; there's no doubt they have something to hide."

Yang Liang reached out and pried at the license plate, and after discovering the clue, he sneered and took out his phone to take pictures as evidence.

Meanwhile, Lin Li looked at the ajar rear door of the van and opened it.

It was very empty inside; except for a black bag in the corner, there was nothing else.

On TV, other gangs would have a machine gun mounted inside; this group actually didn't have one—how pathetic.

He touched the bag; it was just some basic hardware tools, not human fragments or ice, how boring.

"Hmm..."

Lin Li, who had been feeling disappointed, felt his Dalmatian bloodline awaken. A bright idea struck him, and he immediately accessed his storage space, beckoning to Yang Liang and Yan Aosong:

"Uncle! Uncle! Quick! Come up, come up!"

Huang Wei carried the black bag in his arms and went downstairs; it was filled with computers, mobile phones, and jewelry, all valuable items.

As for his two colleagues, they were still upstairs searching for supplies.

He wondered if they could find a Heart of Africa to let him get a big cut.

Damn it, he hadn't even finished his 3x3 mission yet; what a stupid mission this season.

But thinking that once this job was done, he could spend big money to hire an escort, Huang Wei started to feel secretly pleased and expectant.

Still, the Delta in reality was more interesting; as long as you made enough preparations beforehand, searching and evacuating were both very safe, and you didn't have to worry about rats stealing from your rear.

Walking out of the unit door, as expected, everything was normal; the residential area was empty.

Huang Wei walked toward the van's parking spot, his footsteps hurried.

There were still many things left to take upstairs; after dropping off these items, he still had to go back up.

Opening the ajar rear door of the van, Huang Wei prepared to put the items down—

"Ah, f*ck your mother, ah ah ah!!"

Huang Wei let out a loud scream, stumbled back a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

The reason for such a posture was none other than—

—As the rear door popped open, Huang Wei saw three completely unfamiliar people sitting in the van, and the moment the door opened, they were all staring at him intently, expressionless.

It was late at night, and this horrifying scene almost made Huang Wei pee his pants.

"F*ck your mothers! Who are you! Why are you in our car! Are you here to steal things! Get out now! Otherwise, I'm calling the police!"

However, once Huang Wei regained his composure, he suddenly felt a bit ashamed and, out of anger and embarrassment, pointed at the three and cursed.

Yet, facing Huang Wei's shouting, the three people in the car didn't speak or move.

"Are you mute? Speak! F*ck your mother!" Huang Wei was angry; he rolled up his sleeves, preparing to raise his fists to threaten and intimidate them.

Finally, there was movement.

It wasn't the two men on the sides who looked middle-aged, but the young man in the middle who didn't look very old.

He saw this person's neck tilt seventy degrees with his head, his elbows began to turn outward,

his right leg bent outward as if broken, yet his sole remained stuck to the floor, sliding slowly, and his kneecap emitted a faint clicking sound.

Gradually, his whole body formed a bizarre posture that a human could almost never achieve.

Subsequently, Huang Wei saw the corners of this "person's" mouth stretch to his ears, but only the muscles on the left side were twitching, and his eyes, which hadn't blinked once since just now, were staring fixedly at him, seemingly hiding anticipation and surprise.

When the "person" spoke, the voice sounded like it came from hell, hoarse and low:

"You, can see us?"

Huang Wei: "(；o_o)?"

Huh?

With a whoosh, in an instant, the originally peaceful night was eerily blown by a strong wind.

And Huang Wei could even feel that this cold wind was coming from inside the van, and it was swirling around him!

There was absolutely no sign of the wind blowing anything else around!

Huh?

Huang Wei's brain crashed.

"Finally, someone can see us, ha, ha, ha..." The voice of the "person" in the van suddenly turned sharp, his laughter eerie, "Great, great, great."

The "person" suddenly crawled toward Huang Wei on all fours, very quickly.

"Ah, f*ck, mother, ah ah ah!!!"

Seeing the other party rushing toward him, Huang Wei collapsed on the ground on the spot, hugging his head and curling into a ball, begging with a crying voice.

"But I, don't like being deceived." The eerie voice came from very close, from above.

"I can see! I can see! My lord! Immortal! Master! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Huang Wei was very cowardly and immediately changed his tune.

"You, are you here to steal things?" "Yes! Yes! Did I disturb your rest? I'm sorry! I'm sorry! We didn't know this was where you rested! We'll leave immediately! We'll leave immediately!"

Huang Wei didn't dare to look up at all and started apologizing frantically.

F*ck your mother, Wan Xinpeng, how did you scout this place?

This waste didn't even find out such important information that this residential area has ghosts???

But Huang Wei also knew that no matter how much he regretted it now, it was of no use; he could only frantically beg these three ghosts to let him go.

"Hand, stretch it out."

"Immortal!" Huang Wei's hands trembled slightly upon hearing this, but he didn't dare to stretch them out at all, only begging blindly: "Spare me once! I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."

"Do you have any last wishes! Tell me! I will definitely help you fulfill them! Definitely!"

Huang Wei hadn't read few strange stories in the past.

He knew that if he stretched out his hand at this moment, his soul might be sucked away in the next second, and his body would become the other party's.

"Buddy, you're overthinking it; I'm just asking you to stretch out your hand to put handcuffs on you, I don't intend to do anything to you, so stretch out your hand quickly, thanks for your cooperation."

The voice above suddenly became less eerie, just speaking quickly.

Huang Wei was stunned for a moment, looked up slightly, and saw a hand holding a pair of handcuffs, waving in front of him.

"Huh? Handcuffs? Okay, okay, okay!" Huang Wei let out a long sigh of relief in his heart, stretched out his hands, and lowered his head, smiling with relief.

So it was just putting on handcuffs, why didn't you say so earlier~

As long as they don't want to kill me, they are good ghosts.

Wait, f*ck your mother, why would a ghost have handcuffs.

Feeling the coldness on his wrists, Huang Wei looked up abruptly.

Do ghosts have such modern silver bracelets?

Huang Wei looked up even further, only to see the "ghost" who had just had a bizarre figure now restored to a normal human shape, looking at him as well. After making eye contact, the other party gestured with his chin: "There, hold your head with both hands and squat on the car yourself."

"..."

"..."

F*ck! They aren't ghosts at all, f*ck!

As his brain gradually realized the truth, Huang Wei's expression was complex.

And, the first reaction wasn't the annoyance and regret of being caught, but even a bit of grievance:

"No, buddy, no, no, tsk, ouch~ what are you doing..."

"Buddy, if you want to catch a thief, just catch them, it's not like I wouldn't let you catch me, why are you pulling this stunt, I f*cking peed my pants from fear."

Huang Wei wanted to stand up, but his legs were still weak, so he just stumbled.

He simply gave up and continued lying there, but the grievance on his face wasn't fake.

Yang Liang and Yan Aosong also got out of the car at this time, looking at Lin Li with complex expressions.

They shouldn't have played along with Lin Li like this.

Just now, even they were a little scared.

Lin Li's twisted posture really didn't look like something a normal human could achieve, and combined with that coincidental night wind, the eeriness and horror were indeed maxed out.

Yan Aosong tried to put himself in Huang Wei's perspective, and he felt that even he, a materialist warrior, might be stunned for a while if he saw this scene.

Moreover, Yan Aosong had tried to imitate it when Huang Wei was kneeling just now, and the result was that he couldn't even manage one-tenth of it.

He almost gave himself a cramp.

Lin Li seems to be a bit dead already.

Getting this result, Yan Aosong didn't know whether he should be happy, especially happy, or sad.

"Lin Li, how did you do that just now?" Yang Liang also asked curiously.

"Huh? Oh. Uncle, I know ballet, my body flexibility is relatively good, plus I'm young, so my limbs are still quite soft. You two shouldn't try to learn it hard, the movements I just did are very easy to pull a muscle." Lin Li explained with a smile.

How did he do it? The fact that he could have this ghostly appearance today was naturally all thanks to his own hard work and sweat! System, physical improvement!

"Fine."

Regarding Lin Li using his talent in dance here, Yang Liang nodded with a complex expression.

Subsequently, his expression became more serious, and he made a pause gesture: "But, Lin Li, don't keep messing around like this. Uncle thought you just wanted to scare this thief simply, I didn't expect you to pull such a stunt.

You have to know, this could really scare someone to death."

Huang Wei nodded.

The time he agreed with the cops the most.

F*ck, why is this Lin Li so bad.

"No more tricks allowed for the rest; just catch them normally." Yang Liang issued a ban because of this.

Fortunately, although Huang Wei was timid, he wasn't particularly timid, otherwise, if he had met those who were truly afraid of ghosts... Yang Liang felt lingering fear just thinking about it.

After all, as the saying goes, if you do something wrong, your heart will feel a bit guilty.

If something really happened because of the scare, it would be troublesome.

Sure enough, he still couldn't mess around with Lin Li, not at all.

"Got it, Uncle, no problem, I've already experienced it, and that's enough."

Lin Li had no objections, so he agreed immediately; as an experiential person, he only cared about the first time.

But actually, Yang Liang and Yan Aosong's worries were overthinking; with the duck blood bottle, Lin Li could control the magnitude of fear in the intimidated target at any time, which could be considered a bottom-line method.

Those who aren't afraid can be forced to be afraid, and those who are overly afraid can be forced not to be afraid.

But this involved the extraordinary after all, so there was no need to tell Yan Aosong and Yang Liang.

"Let's go catch the rest directly, what do you say." Yang Liang looked at Yan Aosong and discussed.

"Fine."

"Then are you staying here to watch this person, or am I staying here to watch?" Certainly, Huang Wei couldn't be left alone, but taking him along to catch the others wasn't appropriate either, so Yang Liang asked again.

"I can watch." Lin Li raised his hand.

"You watch, I'll go catch them." Yan Aosong nodded.

"Fine."

"Hello, hello? I said I can stay and watch, hey? Didn't you hear me, is my mic not working?" Lin Li raised both hands high.

Still, no one paid him any attention.

Yan Aosong and Yang Liang looked at each other and shook their heads in tacit agreement.

Let Lin Li be alone with the prisoner?

Just thinking about it made them feel worried.

Prisoners also have human rights; if the prisoner's rights were infringed upon, they would also be hard-pressed to escape responsibility, which would count as dereliction of duty.

"Lin Li, let's go, or you can stay and watch the person with your Uncle Yang." Yan Aosong glanced at Lin Li and urged.

"Coming, Uncle."

Lin Li had originally thought about being alone with Huang Wei, maybe he could extract some more effective information.

But since Yang Liang was staying, many of his methods couldn't be used, so he felt it was more appropriate to follow and catch the others.

Together with Yan Aosong, he left the secluded corner where the van was parked, and the two walked slowly toward the unit door.

Just as they turned the corner and returned to the front of the building, they saw two people walking out of the unit door.

These two people were also carrying black bags, and at this moment, they were looking around, still calling out: "Huang Wei? Huang Wei? Was that you calling just now? Where are you?"

Lin Li and Yan Aosong looked at each other; the targets had appeared.

But the two were very tacit, looking like passersby, seemingly curious about why someone was shouting like that in the middle of the night, so they followed along, looking around while gradually approaching.

The gang really couldn't find Huang Wei downstairs, so they planned to see what was going on with the van first.

After changing direction, they naturally noticed Lin Li and Yan Aosong.

The two thieves slowed their pace slightly, and one of them appeared even more vigilant.

"Uncle, you must have had a great time touching the girl you ordered tonight, I see your fingers are soaked white." So Lin Li looked up and said to Yan Aosong.

Yan Aosong: "..."

Yan Aosong could understand that Lin Li said this to make them look like ordinary residents returning home in the middle of the night.

But.

Lin Li, do you really have to give yourself this persona?

"Haha, it was alright, touching... haha..." But in order to cooperate, Yan Aosong nodded with a forced laugh.

Wait until I finish dealing with the thieves, then I'll deal with you.

The two opposite seemed to believe it and resumed their normal speed.

The four continued to rush toward each other.

But when the distance shortened to a certain point, one of the thieves suddenly stopped.

"Pengzi, why did you stop?" The other thief noticed his partner stop and asked with confusion.

Wan Xinpeng stared at Yan Aosong, and seeing the other party start to accelerate, he immediately turned and ran: "F*ck! Run! It's the cops! Run!"

"Huh?"

The other person was stunned on the spot, only feeling the sound of footsteps behind him.

Before he could turn around, a force struck him, and he was already subdued.

"Lin Li!" Taking out handcuffs to cuff the thief, Yan Aosong shouted before turning his head. "You take this person first..."

Lin Li, who had been by his side just a moment ago, was gone.

Looking up.

Yan Aosong saw Lin Li's back as he chased after Wan Xinpeng.

"Uncle, you take this person back to meet up with Uncle Yang first, leave this thief to me!" Lin Li turned his head.

Yan Aosong: "..."

Your mother.

Those were all my lines!

Beside the van.

Yan Aosong brought the criminal over and made eye contact with Yang Liang, who had looked over upon hearing the sound.

Before Yang Liang could ask, Yan Aosong sighed and took the initiative to shake his head:

"Couldn't keep an eye on him, let Lin Li run off."

Beside Yang Liang, Huang Wei, who had already squatted down obediently, looked up in confusion upon hearing this.

Huh? What does "let Lin Li run off" mean?

Isn't Lin Li that young man?

How come this sounds like this guy named Lin Li is more like a criminal?

Is he also a criminal?

Here to redeem himself by performing meritorious service?

Yang Liang sighed upon hearing this and patted his head in distress: "Then I hope the thief who ran off is okay."

Huang Wei: "(；o_o)?"
