Chapter 1064 - 479: When I See You, I Run; When I Say Goodbye, I Walk (Part 3)

"Hey! Hey! Wait! Wait—" Bai Bufan instantly admitted defeat, clasping his hands in prayer: "I was wrong, I was wrong, brother, let me go, I’m begging you, it was my fault."He opened the car door and got out: "Thanks."

Lin Li waved, no need for pleasantries.

"Oh right, Lin Li, I just spent some money to give you a red light VIP. Now you can walk through red lights when crossing the street, you can try it on your way back, it’s a little token of my appreciation."

Bai Bufan said sincerely as he walked to his door.

Grateful, a good dog indeed.

Lin Li waved his middle finger, no need for profanities either.

He started the car and left, but Lin Li’s destination wasn’t his own home, but rather some nearby places he just searched that were also having New Year’s events tonight.

Having already said goodbye to his friends, he now had some free time to consider the Mecha mission that popped up a few hours ago.

When he arrived at the destination, although it was already past one, the commercial area behind was still brightly lit, and there were still many people gathering there.

Some were just playing around, but quite a few were by the roadside, seemingly considering getting a ride home.

Lin Li drove slowly almost at walking speed while looking out towards the roadside, shouting: "Anyone heading towards Xiling? I can give you a ride! Anyone?"

"Anyone?! To Xiling! A few people heading to Xiling!"

Many people had trouble getting a ride tonight, so when they heard Lin Li mimicking those taxi drivers shouting, several groups eagerly approached to inquire.

Unfortunately, they weren’t going to Xiling and asked if Lin Li was going in other directions.

To this, Lin Li hesitated for a moment before declining.

It was quite late already, and his primary purpose was to test the ’mission’ demand, taking people to Xiling was because it was on the way, no point in heading further.

Unless he really couldn’t find anyone.

But reality didn’t disappoint Lin Li, soon three young people ran over from not far away, waving at Lin Li:

"To Xiling! To Xiling! Over here, over here! There are three of us!"

"Which part of Xiling exactly?" Lin Li asked.

"The two of us are going to Xiu Jinming Garden, the other is heading to East Ninth Street..." the leading guy immediately informed the destination.

Lin Li nodded: "Alright, hop in then."

"Thanks, bro."

The three quickly got in and chose to sit in the back.

"Bro, how much?" the guy in the middle immediately took out his phone to ask.

"Five each, give me 15 in total, it’s just a side thing," Lin Li said casually as he started the vehicle.

Actually, Lin Li didn’t mind not getting paid, but saying not to pay would surely lead to some talk, even if these three were guys, they might fear he had other intentions, so taking a token amount would ease their minds.

"Five is too cheap, bro, let’s make it ten each, we can’t take advantage too much." The guy counter-offered, with the other two nodding in agreement.

"Then I won’t be modest, thanks," Lin Li nodded, talking as he navigated:

"Did you guys also come out for New Year’s and couldn’t get a ride?"

"No..." the guy in the middle was suddenly startled, then said sadly: "We just got off work, we were working overtime... it’s just that our office building is around here..."

"Damn, working overtime this late." Lin Li was a bit shocked.

"Yeah...sigh..." the guy sighed, "During overtime, we were wondering, what day is it today, it’s so lively outside, just like New Year’s..."

"Sigh..."

The two guys next to him were also saddened, listening with tears.

"Mind if I play some music?" Seeing the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Lin Li asked.

"I’d love to, I also want to listen to some music to relax." The guy nodded.

Lin Li tapped a few times on the vehicle control screen.

"He Doesn’t Understand"

Zhang Jie.

"He doesn’t understand how cheap your salary is~ Over three thousand wages want your life~ He gets mad if he sees you leave on time~ Doesn’t even mention overtime pay~ He doesn’t get how crowded the morning rush is~ Every day you’re squashed almost can’t breathe~ wu~~"

The three guys: "(;☉_☉)?"

Hey, hold on a second.

Is it too late to say they mind now?
