Chapter 16: Chapter 16: A Slight Shock to the Anti-Pornography Team
Xiaojing instinctively raised her hands.
Lin Li suddenly remembered a children’s song.
Two little bunnies... forgot the middle, forgot the back.
"...Whatever, just move, first put your clothes on, then squat down with your head in your hands!"
A strong voice coldly urged, and then a Demon Suppression Envoy, not wearing a uniform, walked past Xiaojing and locked eyes with Lin Li, who was still lying on the massage bed.
The Demon Suppression Envoy’s eyes widened.
In his life, he had never seen anyone with this kind of expression during an anti-vice raid.
Not only was there no panic, now even with him inside, Lin Li was still lying on his side, propping his cheek with his hand, looking at him helplessly.
He could even see a hint of resentment and disappointment in Lin Li’s eyes, as if annoyed that his good moment had been interrupted.
Unbelievable, Yangliang had conducted so many anti-vice raids in his life, he had never seen anyone so brazen.
Does he think just because he’s fully clothed, he can escape responsibility? The state of the technician at the door had already explained everything, leaving no room for excuses.
Lin Li was indeed resentful.
Why wouldn’t he be? He almost got turned over and taken advantage of by force, his chastity ruined.
All because of the Demon Suppression Bureau’s delay.
"Get up quickly! Squat with your head in your hands! Squat in the corner!" Yangliang pointed at Lin Li with a baton, commanding coldly.
"Uncle..."
"Don’t try to get chummy! Get your hands on your head and squat down!"
Lin Li stopped himself from speaking further. After thinking it over, he said nothing and obediently squatted in the corner with his head in his hands.
The experience was novel, it would make for an impressive story even if it was useless.
The main reason Lin Li didn’t reveal his ’identity’ now was because Xiaojing was still here.
Remember, running a chicken farm isn’t a capital offense. Even the management level organizing the flock would at most be locked up for a few years and then released. Those who came to enjoy the chickens, and the chickens themselves, would at most be detained for a short period.
After the time has passed, they return to being men, most of whom are locals.
If he were to reveal now to the Demon Suppression Bureau that he was the one who reported them,
if Xiaojing heard, or if the Demon Suppression Bureau people let it slip here, who knows what his life in Xiling Town could become.
People’s minds are hard to fathom.
From a certain perspective, his actions were indeed a bit despicable, harming others without benefiting himself.
The risk of retaliation was too great, better to keep quiet for now.
He’d explain once taken to the police station, and just enjoy the novel life experience.
At this moment, Yangliang frowned. With Lin Li’s voice and appearance, he could tell the other was very young, so he asked, "Are you of age yet? Answer honestly, lying to me now will cost you!"
"Not yet." Lin Li couldn’t be bothered to lie at this point.
Finally fully dressed, Xiaojing turned pale upon hearing this answer.
It’s over! Completely over! Another sin added! The release date pushed back again, damn the company, why don’t they screen their clients, letting in such low-quality guests.
"Damn it, such a young age and already not learning well! You’re fourteen at least, right?" Unaware of Lin Li’s background, Yangliang cursed directly.
"That was a while ago."
At this, Yangliang walked away swearing.
Before coming, Lin Li had briefly researched relevant laws: Ages 14-18 receive lighter sentences, under 14 results in no punishment.
He’s seventeen, so what typically gets others fifteen days might only be five for him, maybe none at all, depending on the local attitude.
Yangliang soon returned, holding a mask, which he tossed to Lin Li: "Put it on."
Lin Li took it and saw it wasn’t the type used for escorting death row prisoners with no holes, but had eyeholes for observation.
It seemed to be specifically for protecting a minor’s personal information, as Xiaojing didn’t have this privilege.
"Thank you, Uncle." Lin Li eagerly put on the mask.
Sometimes putting on a mask was actually taking one off.
Lin Li felt like he was Daniel Wu, with a group of Jackies waiting outside for him.
"You’re quite happy, aren’t you?" Seeing Lin Li’s wide grin, Yangliang couldn’t help but crack.
He actually saw excitement and joy on Lin Li’s face, did he even realize his situation?
When Lin Li’s family arrived, Yangliang would definitely have a good talk with them.
He was very curious what kind of family upbringing could produce such an extraordinary youngster.
"Put on your own clothes and come out!" Seeing Lin Li was still wearing the chicken farm’s massage robe, Yangliang ordered.
When Lin Li came out dressed and with his phone, the hallway was crowded with crouching people, all looking pitiful and miserable.
Wow, things got spicy. One guy had ’pig’ written in Chinese on his face, while his partner wore leather, seeming to have been playing a letter game.
Hey, that flight attendant costume looks good, someone had already picked her out from the chicken certificates he saw earlier, she seemed to be the top pick.
This one, this one is totally off, look at that figure.
Lin Li was analyzing everyone when he suddenly caught Yangliang’s gaze.
Yangliang just silently stared at Lin Li.
Lin Li was starting to feel embarrassed, scratched his head, realized it was the mask, and put his hand down: "What is it, Uncle?"
Yangliang took a deep breath, then another, seemingly to calm himself, and then said word for word:
"Can you, this darn kid, have a little awareness you’re a criminal? Get back here and squat with your head in your hands! Why are you walking around!"
Yangliang was nearly out of breath from anger.
The scene just now was truly mind-boggling.
After Lin Li came out of the room, wearing a criminal mask, he wandered back and forth in front of the others squatting in the hallway, with his hands clasped behind his back, as if evaluating each crouched person, shaking his head, nodding, even sighing.
Even Yangliang felt like Lin Li wasn’t a criminal; the kid was a supervisor inspecting their work, expressing regret and disappointment at these misguided people!
Especially since this kid was quite tall, he had to slightly look up when making eye contact before.
This kid’s guardian better provide an explanation to Sanqiao Police Station, or he’s not taking him home.
A true scourge of society.
Releasing into the market would surely overthrow it.
If possible, Yangliang wanted to suggest the family start over with a new kid, since the current one was a lost cause.
"Oops, sorry, I momentarily forgot my identity," Lin Li realized and quickly apologized, then moved to squat with the others.
"Uncle." But after observing the others’ situation, Lin Li looked towards Yangliang.
"What—now?" Yangliang asked with a drawn-out sigh.
He really hated the juvenile protection laws now, just look, look, look at what’s being protected!
"They all have handcuffs, I don’t, can I get one too, Uncle?" Lin Li looked enviously at the others’ cuffed hands, earnestly asking.
Wanting to fully experience being captured; not wearing handcuffs would waste this valuable opportunity.
Yangliang: "?"
