Chapter 1101 - 493: Spirit Orb and Demon, Construction and KTV

This man’s half-life has seen many bizarre and peculiar things.For example, someone once ate crabs in the men’s restroom.

Because the man squatting heard with his own ears a guy in the stall saying "Quick, spread your legs, I’m hungry," while another guy indulged him saying "Little glutton, so impatient."

Crabs, pretty impressive, huh.

But at this moment, facing the combo of Lin Li’s smile, words, and gaze, the man realized that maybe what was eaten in the stall back then was not crabs.

Even though the man gritted his teeth and tried to speed up a bit more, in the next second, he was easily captured and locked in place by Lin Li, who had finished his lines and wasn’t planning to play anymore.

The strength and stability left no chance for resistance, completely immobile.

"Stop running, come back with me,"

And while suppressing the man, Lin Li stood up, smiled, and comforted:

"It’s okay, buddy, as long as you’re not the mastermind, and were just called to work, it won’t be a big deal. At most, fined a thousand bucks, and detained for ten days to half a month, it’s just an administrative penalty."

"Later, if you add a little bit of blemish witness, good attitude, proactive remorse, and other buffs, the penalty will only be lower, maybe a few hundred bucks? Two or three days’ detention? Something like that.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that you’re not the mastermind."

"I’m not, I’m not! How could I be the mastermind? I’m just someone who was called to help! I didn’t even know this was illegal!!" The man responded, words agitated and hurried, shaking his head like a rattle.

Lin Li smiled, did not respond.

This kind of Teflon statement is just for listening, if you really believed it, that would be dumb.

"Brother, just let me go, this really has nothing to do with me," and seeing Lin Li’s amiable expression, the man seemed to think there was a chance, so he immediately pleaded earnestly:

"Although you said the punishment is not severe, but I have elders above and children below, and can’t bear even this kind of trouble, this time it’s greed that blinded me, just resigned and unemployed, heard there was money here and came over, ended up fooled, just let me go.

Sorry for bothering you guys, really, but I..."

"What were you doing before, why did you resign?" Lin Li, ever missing the point, asked curiously.

"Construction work." The man immediately replied.

"Oh wow, civil engineering buddy, my apologies, why did you just grab a bucket and run away? These days, Xiling is always developing new towns, there should be plenty of job opportunities, right?" Lin Li further probed.

"Sigh, there’s a poem circulating around," upon hearing this, the man lowered his gaze, turned his head to look at the ground, and said faintly:

"Drunk, I light the lamp and measure the line, dreaming back to the construction site’s cooperation, eight centimeters of the foundation subsidence, fifty-year imprisonment, prison autumn inspection."

"Ash from pump truck flying fast, concrete solidifying like lead water, solving the client’s supervision matter, winning injuries and extramarital affairs, three illegitimate children."

"I know, there are rumors outside saying civil engineering dogs don’t study, as a senior, I must clarify, this is not a rumor, this is not a rumor."

Lin Li raised his brows slightly, wow, this guy’s also a cultured person, ancient generals had Xin Qiji, now there’s bitter tears.

The man continued pouring out his miseries:

"Brother, you don’t know, it’s really unworkable now, those hats on the construction site are just fooling around, externally claiming ’no safety hazards today,’ but only those of us actually working know it’s ’no safety today, all hazards.’

If something went wrong, it wouldn’t be just the matter of ten days or half a month, a thousand bucks, could even cost lives, can this be done, I had no choice either, but I have to support family, really backed into a corner, I truly didn’t know it violates..."

The man rattled off a whole bunch, not actually intending to complain about past work to Lin Li.

In fact, he exaggerated and twisted a lot, the real purpose of course was to try making Lin Li empathize, hoping out of sympathy he would let him go, so his words circled back to pleading.

Many people don’t know, the construction industry is much better than before, not nearly as hopeless as just described.

You should know, in the past those in construction, after finishing tombs had to be buried inside, without even the qualification to sleep in the feng shui treasure spot with the tomb owner, but instead casually buried elsewhere, at least now they aren’t buried, isn’t this a giant leap forward for the industry?

The civil engineering bible isn’t wrong, as for the real reason for the man’s resignation, the fatal blow making him truly give up construction work, if traced back, it involves last year’s Xiling Chicken Farm dark upheaval, or more accurately occurred months ago.

Everyone knows, construction sites and KTVs have always been two sides of the same coin!

Inside you there’s me, inside me there’s you, they’re like a clueless couple, walking hand in hand.

When the civil engineering industry is thriving, KTVs absolutely mustn’t lag behind, right!!

That dark upheaval seemingly just broke KTV’s spine, but actually shattered the hearts of many construction dudes.

Though this stuff can’t be completely eradicated, after the foreman changed location, the quality and service visibly declined, to the man this was unforgivable, even the only hope was gone.

But these words the man dared not say to Lin Li in front, after all this guy’s likely a Demon Suppression Envoy, though that dark upheaval might not have anything to do with him, their positions are absolutely oppositional.

So the man just continued playing the pity card.

Lin Li naturally could hear the man’s insinuation, coupled with his original plans in this regard, so after the lengthy narrative, just as in previous times concluding tasks, hinted he wasn’t a Demon Suppression Envoy, implying he could be bribed.
