We're Partners

After leaving the hospital, Fang Li immediately returned to his dormitory and turned on his laptop.

"Ding-dong..."

Almost at the same time Fang Li opened his laptop, an email came in, causing the computer to emit a pleasant notification sound.

Fang Li immediately opened the email.

However, the expected intelligence did not appear in the email.

What appeared in the email was a slideshow.

In the slideshow, a cartoon character that looks very much like Riko is dancing and singing.

Her appearance and voice were exactly the same as Riko's.

"That's really..."

For a moment, Fang Li was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

I was mentally prepared to see some shocking information, but I never expected to see this kind of thing when I turned on my computer.

"This must have been made by Riko herself, right?"

I must say, it really has Riko's style.

Riko has always loved anime and cartoon elements, and she even enjoys playing bishoujo games. In short, she's a homebody.

It's no surprise that they would know how to create this kind of slideshow.

"Although it's done fairly well, now is probably not the time to do this kind of thing, is it?"

Fang Li had some doubts.

Now that things have come to this, even Riko should know that she is serious, and wouldn't send something like this to fob her off, right?

Just as Fang Li was feeling puzzled, a cartoon Riko named Riko singing and dancing appeared on the Fang Li.

In that instant, Fang Li's heart stirred.

"Could this be...?"

Fang Li finally remembered.

Previously, Riko had begged and pleaded with Fang Li to play a game with her.

That's a dance game.

In this game, dance moves are not performed by controlling the character, but by tapping letters.

Each letter represents a fixed dance step.

What players need to do is manipulate the keyboard to edit letters when the music starts, making the dance moves possible and allowing the game character to perform the dance.

Ultimately, the player who can keep jumping until the music ends will be scored, and the player with the highest score will win.

Without a doubt, it was a very difficult game.

Players not only need to memorize which letter corresponds to which dance move, but also need to create a dance using the memorized letters to random music.

At that time, Riko took advantage of Fang Li's ignorance of the rules and continued to abuse Fang Li in various Fang Li. Eventually, Fangli became furious and, after returning home that day, he thoroughly understood the rules of the game and memorized the order of the letters and dance steps, planning to take revenge the next day.

Unfortunately, even though Fang Li memorized the letters and their corresponding dance steps, he was still no match for Riko, that shut-in girl.

However, Fang Li remembered all the rules of the game from that time.

And now, in the slides that Riko sent, there is a dance routine that keeps repeating itself.

"If we translate these dance steps into letters from that game, could those letters form useful information?"

Thinking of this, Fang Li immediately picked up a pen and paper from the table and translated each dance step in the slides into the corresponding letters he had written down.

About ten minutes later, Fang Li looked at the paper in his hand and a smile slowly crept onto his face.

"That Riko, she really knows how to have fun..."

On the paper in Fang Li's hand, each letter had already formed useful information.

"Is this French?"

After all, Arsène Lupin was France, and as his great-granddaughter, Riko was naturally half France as well.

"Moreover, the intelligence gathering is not yet complete."

Riko probably really intended to tell Fang Li all the information she knew, as more than one email was sent to Fang Li's computer.

Each email contained a slideshow.

If all of it were translated, Fang Li would probably be very busy.

"However, this is also a safer approach."

In any case, Riko was conveying information about a secret society that even the world's major countries had to be wary of.

Sending it via email in a very casual manner would be too risky.

Fang Li then opened the next slide and continued translating.

Fang Li spent an entire day translating this.

It wasn't until evening, just as Fang Li finished translating, that Aria burst into Fang Li's room and saw the stacks of intelligence documents piled up on Fang Li table.

"This... this is all information about I-You?"

Looking at the intelligence reports in her hands, Aria was truly stunned.

"Don't tell anyone." Fang Li organized all the information and reminded her, "If Yi-Yu's people find out that Riko betrayed them, Riko will be in big trouble."

"And what about yourself?" Aria's expression turned serious, and she said with some concern, "If the people of this country find out that you have secretly collected so much information about I-You, you will definitely be targeted as well."

"Let's talk about it when they start targeting me." Fang Li pursed his lips, stood up, and said to Aria, "Anyway, I'll go make preparations first. You just stay at home obediently."

Just as Fang Li was about to leave after saying that, Aria grabbed his clothes.

"Are you really planning to storm I-You's headquarters?"

Aria stared intently at Fang Li, her expression more serious than ever before.

However, Fang Li is equally unlikely to back down.

"I've made up my mind." Fang Li met Aria's gaze without flinching and said, "Don't stop me."

Aria fell silent.

After a long pause, Aria seemed to have given up on something, her expression returning to its carefree state, and she said this to Fang Li.

"In that case, I'll go with you."

"Come with me?" Fang Li was taken aback.

"This is a good opportunity." Aria said without hesitation, as if she had made up her mind. "The people of Yi-you have made my mother bear so many crimes. This time, I will arrest them all, clear my mother's name, and let her regain her freedom."

"You told me not to stop you, right? Then don't stop me!" Aria's crimson eyes gleamed with determination as she spoke, each word distinct and clear.

"We're partners."

This time, it was Fang Li's turn to remain silent.

After a long pause, Fang Li said, "This time, our enemy is not just a single criminal, but an entire criminal organization. Every single one of them possesses power that rivals Riko's, or even surpasses Riko's."

"It's alright." A meaningful smile appeared on Aria's lovely face as she said, "I'll also prepare my ace."

"Ace?" Fang Li didn't know what Aria was talking about.

However, since Aria has her own reasons, Fang Li has no right to stop her.

And so, the attacking personnel were decided.
