In Chapter 81 of "The Most Random System": Yangliang paused momentarily, his brain kicking back into overdrive. Operation failed. Yangliang had no choice but to... Discover the next events!

Yangliang paused momentarily, his brain kicking back into overdrive. Operation failed. Yangliang had no choice but to admit it; Lin Li’s protective shell was sometimes just a bit too hard. Trying to keep up with Lin Li was still too strenuous for a normal person. "Lin Li, so... what exactly do you mean by ’you had this intention’?" Struggling to think, Yangliang opted to directly ask Lin Li. "Prostitution is wrong. My friend is deeply entangled in it, and his body, mind, and spirit are severely harmed. I must help him turn back from this path, so Uncle Yang, I’ll find a chance for you all to catch him; upholding righteousness even against one’s family!" Lin Li, representing justice, spoke loudly. Yangliang: "..." "What kind of friend you’ve made, I don’t know... but your friend sure has a good friend." Yangliang found it hard to comment, but he ultimately chose to encourage. "It’s what I should do." Lin Li was a bit modest. "Alright then, I’ll wait for your update. I need to prepare on my end as well. Pay attention to your safety, remember not to cross the line, and record everything like last time. Even if you’re undercover, you can’t act recklessly." Yangliang said somewhat weakly. Chatting with Lin Li really wasn’t an easy task, seemingly a drain on one’s lifespan. "Weren’t you supposed to exercise discretion last time?" "Only if you were truly forced!" Yangliang emphasized heavily. "Okay." "Did I just hear a hint of regret in your voice?" Yangliang’s mouth twitched slightly. "Haha, how could you think that? Alright, Uncle, you get busy, I’m hanging up." "Hmm." "Driver, how much longer?" After hanging up the phone, Lin Li asked the driver. "About twenty minutes more, fifteen if there’s no traffic." The driver replied. "Okay." Seeing that Lin Li had no intention of chatting, the driver continued driving. In the domestic taxi industry, customers are like lords, but if you use Uber abroad, the driver might even rate you poorly for not greeting them when you get in, lowering your score so you can’t find a ride. The customer essentially becomes a nobody. With the driver present, many things were hard to discuss, so Lin Li and Bai Bufan remained silent throughout the journey. "We’ve arrived." The car pulled up. "Thank you, driver." The two got out of the car. The name of Tianhong could be seen not far away, and the lights at night were extremely conspicuous. "How do you feel about being caught soon?" Lin Li asked Bai Bufan beside him. "I feel like taking a dump." Bai Bufan turned his head and spoke straightforwardly. Lin Li: "?" It somewhat spoiled the atmosphere. "Lin Li, I’m starting to get a bit nervous, like I’m about to run a thousand meters." Bai Bufan swallowed and placed his hand on Lin Li’s shoulder: "I’m afraid I won’t perform well." "Who ever asked you to perform? Isn’t there a possibility that you might not get a chance to perform at all?" Lin Li seemed a bit speechless. "No, no, I wasn’t even thinking about that, I’m worried that as an undercover I might get exposed." Bai Bufan’s face still showed some anxiety, his hand incessantly rubbing Lin Li’s shoulder, "How about... you go inside alone, and I’ll watch from outside, waiting for your uncle to arrive. We can team up from inside and out." "Don’t be a coward! You’ve come all the way here, might as well go in. Just think of it as going to a regular massage parlor, go in, wait for a massage, or maybe just a foot wash." The mission being at hand left no room for Bai Bufan to act out. Lin Li’s expression suddenly turned cold, but not because of Bai Bufan’s change of heart, but rather: "Damn it, Bai Bufan, could you stop wiping your sweaty hands on my clothes?" The hand resting on his shoulder had been wiping away the whole time, Lin Li finally noticed what he was doing. "My clothes are new..." The caught Bai Bufan awkwardly pulled back his hand, took several deep breaths, and finally nodded heavily, saying, seemingly to either himself or Lin Li: " I’ll leave it all to you then." 「Lin Li: Uncle, I’ve arrived at the entrance of Tianhong.」「Yangliang: We’ll be there in a minimum of twenty-five minutes. After you send a message, we’ll arrive and control Tianhong in two minutes. I recommend you wait for twenty-five minutes before going in.」「Lin Li: No worries, Uncle. Once inside, there are still procedures to go through. I’ll send you a message then.」 After confirming this information, Lin Li went to the front, pushed open the door of Tianhong, and stepped inside. It turned out the receptionist was still Xiaowen, which simplified matters. As expected, upon seeing Lin Li, Xiaowen instantly waved at him. "Bufan, you finally came~" "Oh! Sister Xiaowen, it’s me, Bufan." This conversation gave Lin Li a warm feeling of coming home, welcoming and homely; hence he smiled and walked over. This conversation gave Bai Bufan an overwhelming feeling to kick Lin Li’s virtual ass, was it your name? Yet he replied, though he still followed Lin Li with a smile. "Is this the good brother you mentioned before?" Xiaowen, having noticed Bai Bufan, inquired. "Hello, Sister Zhou, my name is Xiaowen." Bai Bufan instantly snapped to attention like a young soldier, saluting Xiaowen as he answered. Xiaowen: "?" You’re called Xiaowen, then what should I be called? "He’s a bit nervous, Sister Xiaowen, you should understand. If you’re going to call him, just call him Xiaozhou." Lin Li smiled, explaining on Bai Bufan’s behalf. "Is Xiaozhou still a rookie?" Xiaowen chuckled, "Should we prepare a red envelope for him?" When encountering a brand new, unused product client at a chicken farm, sometimes a small red envelope is given, with not much money, just for good luck. Different amounts have different meanings, although Lin Li didn’t quite understand this. Traditional culture, vast and profound! You must live and learn until old age. Seeing Bai Bufan mumbling silently, Xiaowen didn’t tease him and spoke to Lin Li: "Your spots have always been reserved. Normally, this kind is for single rooms; are you two going to use two small rooms, or..." Hearing this, Bai Bufan abruptly punched Lin Li in the back. "With my friend like this, I wouldn’t be at ease leaving him alone, let’s book a double room, Sister Xiaowen." Lin Li noted down the punch in his mind and said to Xiaowen. "Bufan, although we have our reasons for engaging in this not-so-glorious business, we also have our dignity..." "No problem with paying more, Sister Xiaowen." Having heard this conversation once before, Lin Li interrupted before Xiaowen finished. "Okay, sure thing, just make sure not to get mixed up. Our place only allows individual battles at different sides of the room, doesn’t accept group fights, even for a higher price." Satisfied with Lin Li’s discerning nature, Xiaowen nodded and emphasized. "Sister Xiaowen, you’re overthinking it. We’re here just to find a tutor to guide us, not planning to take any exams. Look at my friend, does he look like he could sit an exam?" Lin Li chuckled, "Of course, who knows, maybe he’ll want to extend the session." "Haha, you have a point, then the red envelope won’t work. Alright, you two go to your room, 107 Roushui Pavilion, just keep going straight, need me to show you the way?" Xiaowen gave an "I understand you" nod, operated the computer, and indicated to them. "No need, we’ll find it ourselves first, thank you, Sister Xiaowen." Without the procuress leading the way, this could also be more carefree. Lin Li waved his hand and began walking in the direction indicated by Xiaowen. Bai Bufan followed closely behind. "This thing really is like a thousand meters, the most nervous before starting, but now that we’ve started running, it doesn’t feel like much." Bai Bufan mumbled quietly to Lin Li ahead. Then he bumped into Lin Li’s back. "Are we there?" Bai Bufan asked. Lin Li didn’t respond, just stared ahead. Bai Bufan, a bit puzzled, poked his head out to see what was ahead. A radiant Xue Jian, holding hands with a woman, stood at the end of the corridor. Their eyes met.
