"It's true. There are too many advantages here, I forgot to praise this one," Song Luping nodded in agreement and looked at Lin Li. "Bufan, at this shop, you don't need to think about any escape routes. With them around, there won't be any accidents."

Given his current persona, it was perfectly normal for him to be curious about these things, so Lin Li asked directly:

"Brother Ping, Sister Little Wen, may I be so curious as to ask? How do we ensure safety in this regard? Is it that the shop has a secret passage, and when someone comes to inspect, we just need to take the secret passage to leave without a trace?"

Lin Li truly hadn't expected to encounter such a 'surprise'.

Thankfully, Little Wen had brought it up on her own.

If he had notified the Demon Suppression Division to come, only for them to fail the capture, letting everyone escape or cover up the truth of the Joyful Union, then all his hard work would have been for nothing.

Moreover, after one failure, Lin Li would not come back to this shop to put himself in the situation a second time. Being caught in a raid twice at the same shop, both times when he was present, would seem too deliberate and could easily arouse suspicion.

The Demon Suppression Division itself would hire people to go 'undercover' at Joyful Union strongholds to gather evidence, so the Joyful Union demons would have this level of awareness. It would be normal for them to be suspicious.

As a member of the cautious faction, Lin Li didn't want to take such a risk before the mission was completed.

Lin Li was a person who disliked risk very much. The only things that could make him ignore risk were webpages and software.

When faced with webpages and software, Lin Li would instantly transform into a radical. Risk? I'm not even interested in webpages and software without risk! Ignore the risk, continue installing, continue browsing!!

"Brother Little Fan, you're treating our place like a chicken farm in northern Myanmar, with basements and secret passages. How is that possible! This is commercial land. If we want to change the basic structure of the building and do major renovations, we have to report it to the district management office. How could we have that kind of ability?"

Little Wen said, somewhat amused.

"Then it's..."

Little Wen gave a mysterious smile. "We've set up lookouts."

"We have our people in the station. They'll report the situation to us, keeping an eye on their every move."

Lin Li's pupils quaked.

Buhou! We have a traitor among us! Maybe even several!

The Demon Suppression Division has been corrupted!

However, Lin Li wasn't particularly worried about his own identity being leaked.

The fact that he was the one who reported the last operation was actually known by very few people. For the safety of the informant, the Demon Suppression Division, as a matter of practice, would not publicize it, even internally.

Even the banner Lin Li received didn't have his name on it.

So, the number of Demon Suppression Envoys who actually knew he was the informant last time was not very large. Lin Li judged it to be in the single digits.

And if they already knew his identity, neither Song Luping nor Little Wen would be treating him with their current attitude.

Therefore, after the shock and brief panic, what replaced it was an irrepressible excitement.

This was going to be a great merit.

He was about to sweep away the filth within the Demon Suppression Division, bring the great hand that sheltered evil above Brook Creek Town to justice, and truly return a clear and bright sky to the land!

Seventeen was the age of peak chuunibyou and love for adventure. Just thinking about it was exciting.

Last time they gave him three thousand three hundred. If this time was successful, they'd have to give him more, right? If he could get more, Lin Li would definitely reward himself with a real Spring Breeze Elf (a Sha Wujing custom mold).

Four thousand four hundred? Five thousand five hundred?

Hehe, if he could wipe out the mole's entire family and clan, and then get all their confiscated assets for himself, that would be great—Lin Li thought, with all the innocence of a harmless animal.

No bad intentions, really. It would be best to implicate ten generations of their clan.

"Brother Song, Sister Wen, you mean to say there are our people among the cops? This time, they'll give us a heads-up in advance?" After the deed was done, he'd talk about the deed. Returning to his senses, Lin Li asked with feigned excitement.

"Something like that," Little Wen smiled inscrutably.

"What's their position? Grassroots? A communications officer? What can they do to coordinate with us?" After a rapid series of questions, Lin Li immediately slapped his own head, raised his hands slightly in front of him, and said with an apologetic expression and tone, "Sorry, I probably shouldn't be asking this. I'm just a little too excited."

Lin Li's age of seventeen now served as his most suitable camouflage. At this age, encountering such a situation in real life, it was perfectly reasonable to be excited and want to know the inside story.

And Lin Li naturally wouldn't try to ask who the undercover agent really was. It was enough to narrow down the scope as much as possible. The rest was an internal matter for the Demon Suppression Division.

As expected, the two were not surprised by Lin Li's excitement. Little Wen smiled. "It's fine, we're all on the same side. But Little Fan, your thoughts are all wrong. It's not the grassroots, nor a communications officer."

"...Is it high-level management?" Lin Li's eyes widened.

Did he just skip the flies and go straight for the tigers?

This is bad. He would have to be more cautious.

He wasn't Wu Song. In front of a tiger, he was at most meat floss. At best, a meat floss that could do a sliding tackle.

"This, haha, we don't have that kind of ability. Little Fan, you misunderstood. We haven't been able to successfully bribe any cops at all. They have all sorts of rules now like post rotation, and they're managed so strictly. The vice squad is also internally confidential. It's not as easy to bribe them as it used to be."

Facing Lin Li's shocked and adoring expression, Little Wen now waved her hand, a little embarrassed.

"Huh? Then our informant is..." Now Lin Li was confused.

Besides the Demon Suppression Envoys in the Demon Suppression Division, who else could be an undercover agent?

"We have a former superior who is currently on probation and participating in community correction. His correction location on weekends is at the Sanqiao Police Station. So we've entrusted him to help us pay more attention to the flow of personnel inside. When he notices a large number of cops leaving in batches or successively, whether they're in uniform or plainclothes, he will immediately alert us.

In addition to that, on weekends, we also hire some people to watch the main roads leading to our place and several other businesses in our vicinity. Once our former superior sends us a message, we have them double-check if the cops are heading our way.

When all parties have confirmed and the clues point to a vice raid targeting us, we will immediately notify you, our customers, and the staff. Everyone will stop the special services and begin to orderly adjust to a legitimate business appearance.

There's definitely enough time. By the time the cops arrive, they'll only see our green and legal appearance. Even if they check the surveillance or whatever, they won't be able to find anything.

Little Wen really wasn't treating him like an outsider, proudly telling Lin Li the truth of the matter.

Lin Li: "..."

His mood at this moment was indescribable.

Don't say it, you really shouldn't say it.

He had indeed been thinking too narrowly.

Besides the Demon Suppression Envoys who were responsible for suppressing, the Demon Suppression Division naturally also had demons who were responsible for being suppressed.

Bad news: There's a mole inside the Demon Suppression Division.

Good news: The mole has not only been caught, but has even been sentenced.

Damn it, all that excitement for nothing. He didn't get to hit a tiger or a fly, just a mosquito that had already been swatted.

If he told Yang Liang this news, he'd probably praise him with a "good job," but as for a bonus or anything, he shouldn't even think about it.

Sha Wujing, I'm sorry. It's my incompetence, my uselessness, that I can't bring you home.

Lin Li sighed deeply in his heart.

But it was useful information after all.

An ordinary person really wouldn't think in this direction. One could easily have their movements detected by these chicken farms.

When the time comes for action, this was something he must tell Uncle Yang and the others in advance, so they could be prepared.

Once they knew, prevention would be incredibly simple. They could dispatch people from another Demon Suppression Division, directly replace the probationer doing community service so he couldn't see anything, pretend to go home from work and then go out in plainclothes, and so on.

But the preparations absolutely couldn't be too obvious, and they definitely couldn't go find and question the specific mole, otherwise it would be blatantly telling the chicken farm that they had a mole inside. With a little simple deduction, it would basically spell out that he was the informant.

Sigh.

Being this undercover agent was really exhausting.

Uncle Yang and the others should know what to do by then.

"I see. That makes me feel even more at ease. If only I had known about you, Tianhong, sooner. Compared to you, Light Jazz was simply terrible," Lin Li said sincerely, clutching his chest.

Stepping on one to praise another is disgusting, unless you're the one being praised, and the one being stepped on is already dead. Little Wen was now smiling very happily.

"This is what we should do for our own safety and the safety of our customers. To be honest, the cost of hiring people to keep watch outside is also quite high. If it weren't for several of us places sharing the expense, it would be a loss-making business.

Small profits and quick returns is no empty talk. We really are just earning some hard-earned money.

But for you to have fun and feel at ease, what's this little sacrifice?"

"That's right," Song Luping nodded deeply. "In my heart, Tianhong is the kind of place that is worthy of us, a place with ambition and aspirations. If I could get ten million suites, I'd shelter all the gentlemen of the world and make them all happy!?"

Tears welled up.

Why were the chicken farms in Brook Creek all so outstanding? Light Jazz competed in infrastructure, Tianhong competed in service.

Lin Li gave a thumbs-up.

I'll have you all arrested so you can pursue further studies.

Little Wen accepted it calmly, chuckling as she said, "So, Little Fan, just come and play with confidence this weekend. Our preparations are flawless. There are only our own people here, and in the station too. We have our own people everywhere. How can we lose?

If we still get caught like this, I, Little Wen, will never do this line of work again in my life, hehe."

Hehe.

Merit +1.

Lin Li, who was already laughing "hehe" in his heart, appeared very approving on the surface. He nodded heavily:

"That's right. It's too perfect. Flawless."

It's a Zerg rush with overwhelming force. There's really no way to lose.
