Hearing this completely beyond-human-comprehension explanation, Wang Lei's mouth twitched slightly.

This lie is simply ridiculous, with too many flaws!

Wang Lei's eyes were as sharp as knives, coldly questioning:

"Buddy, I haven't said I came from 'Juxian Internet Cafe' and 'Manyi Internet Cafe'! How did you know I came from there?"

Lin Li frowned, not expecting this man's mind to be so quick, finding a small flaw in his perfect explanation in an instant.

Fortunately, Lin Li wasn't flustered and immediately defended:

"Because we have a family group and we exchange everything, my sixteenth brother just told us about the amusing incident that happened."

Seeing Lin Li wouldn't face the facts, Wang Lei shook his head:

"Stop lying! I've been to many internet cafes at Xiling before, but I haven't seen anyone from your Bai Bufan family!"

"Ha, if you just said you were actually an internet cafe manager family from another town, and just integrated Xiling into your territory today, currently in an expansion phase, I might have believed you. Unfortunately... Mr. Bai, you're a step short!"

As the ending tone infinitely heightens, with a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth, Wang Lei looks coldly at Lin Li with a wise gaze that sees through everything.

Lin Li's pupils shrank suddenly.

In this precarious, exhilarating battle of wits, he actually fell behind.

Xiling indeed has hidden talents, there are actually people who can see through his nearly perfect, sky-covering lie.

"You! What else do you have to say now!" Looking at Lin Li, who was at a loss for words, Wang Lei's momentum escalated, aggressively forcing.

Lin Li suddenly calmed down: "I want to report you to the internet cafe manager for smoking, if the manager doesn't care, I will report the internet cafe directly to the law enforcement department."

Wang Lei: "..."

"Fuck! Bai Bufan! You're fucking playing dirty!" Wang Lei was stunned for a moment, then this brazen act shocked him into cursing.

"Tsk—" Lin Li chuckled, looking at Wang Lei contemptuously, as if he were an ant: "Dude, do you know why black people don't believe in Taoism?"

"Hmm?" Wang Lei didn't know why Lin Li suddenly switched to this topic, but he was indeed a bit curious, so he still asked: "Why?"

Lin Li: "Because they don't know who Laozi is."

Wang Lei: "..."

Lin Li didn't give him a chance to retort, sternly reprimanding: "And now, buddy, you're no different from those black people!"

"I fucking have a father!" Wang Lei was furious.

"You may know Laozi and have a father, but what I want to say is, you also don't know who I am!" Lin Li was also furious, pointing to himself loudly:

"Buddy! You should go and ask around in the underworld, who is Laozi Bai Bufan? I, Bai Bufan, have always been an utterly disgusting petty man, detested by both humans and dogs, and I have never denied this, even taken pride in it!

I, Bai Bufan, am a dog! I, Bai Bufan, am cheap! So what?! This world needs people like Bai Bufan to be disgusting for it to get better!

You saw through my lie, so what, you still dare to smoke? If you take out a cigarette again, we'll go to the front desk now! I'll call the police right now!!

I just wanted to give you some dignity, but if you don't give me dignity, then no one gets dignity!! I, Bai Bufan, will really bite you to death!!"

Lin Li's suppressed growl echoed in the box, and even Wang Lei, who had been sitting in the chair, was intimidated and pushed back a bit with the chair.

Looking at Lin Li tearing off all pretenses—especially now, with the guy making that growling sound that vicious dogs make when they're about to attack, upper lip twitching, Wang Lei was a bit scared.

If it's this guy... maybe he really could bite me to death...

Although this was definitely Bai Bufan meddling in other people's business while making a fuss over trivial matters and being unreasonable, but fundamentally, he didn't have much ground smoking, and if it escalated, the store wouldn't side with him.

The moral high ground was held by the other side.

So even though Wang Lei's lips quivered, he stopped short of speaking, and said nothing.

The two were silently staring at each other for a while, eventually, it was Wang Lei who pressed the computer's power button, stood up.

"Leaving?" Lin Li chuckled lightly, stepping aside, reverting to human form.

"Bai Bufan, today's humiliation, I will remember." Wang Lei slowly moved forward, but his head kept staring at Lin Li, as they were crossing paths, he said coldly, "Our grudges are well and truly settled!"

"Suit yourself, I don't car." Lin Li scorned with disdain, merely asking casually: "Bro, which internet cafe do you plan to go next?"

"I'm going home!" Wang Lei replied harshly, trying to regain his place and dignity:

"I'm going home to play on my computer! And I'm going to smoke! Smoke! Smoke!

I tap a key I smoke a cigarette! I click the mouse I smoke a cigarette! I'm going to cover my desktop with cigarette butts!! What can you do about it! If you have the guts, come to my house and stop me!"

See, agitated again.

Lin Li merely smiled and said: "That's your right, I have no authority to restrain, wish you a pleasant smoking tonight~"

Watching Lin Li's smile, Wang Lei only felt like punching cotton, still feeling suffocated inside with no sense of superiority whatsoever, this Bai Bufan is truly disgusting.

He could only leave sullenly, slamming the door.

But after walking out of the box, Wang Lei's face instantly fell.

Wang Lei came to surf the internet alone tonight, not to have online matches with friends, his home computer isn't low-spec either, his purpose in coming to the internet cafe was actually to smoke while gaming.

Because Wang Lei doesn't live alone, and he's not allowed to smoke indoors at home.

If he wanted to smoke, he'd have to go to the balcony, and even then, be careful not to let the clothes hanging there get smoky, or else he'd face the consequences of family law.
