I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week Chapter 2071 – Chapter 2071: Blamed

“I’m worried about the same thing,” Ling Han said.

“The higher-ups are very concerned about capturing Wei Jianlong. Now, with him being so nonchalant, it’s going to be a problem if things go wrong—it won’t be good for anyone.”

“That’s what puzzles me a bit. If he’s that kind of person, your leaders wouldn’t make such a rash decision,” Zhang Yuling said.

“Who knows what they’re thinking,” Ling Han remarked sarcastically.

“The higher-up is a female leader. Maybe she thinks he’s handsome,” Zhao Su said.

“If you put it that way, it’s actually possible,” Zhang Yuling said.

“These days, good looks do give you an edge, but you don’t need to worry too much. In this position, you do your job, and even if the operation fails, it’ll be his responsibility, not yours. It might even make things easier for you.”

“Indeed.” Ling Han agreed but didn’t say anything further.

However, she was still troubled by the matter.

The trial for the Central Guards Brigade was about to begin, and she had hoped to conclude this case as the crowning achievement of her career.

If something went wrong, it could become an unsightly blemish on her life.

Ling Han couldn’t accept that.

But now that things had come to this, there was nothing more she could say; she could only take things one step at a time.

Soon, the car arrived at the guesthouse. After everyone had settled their luggage, they gathered together again.

“Team Leader Lin, I’m in charge of this operation from the Yanjing side. Let’s go eat first, and we can discuss the case while we eat. We must capture everyone involved,” Hao Songbai said.

“Can we discuss this another day?”

“Another day?” Hao Songbai asked in surprise, “Does Team Leader Lin have other matters to attend to?”

Lin Yi nodded, “I have other friends in Yanjing, and we’ve planned to have dinner today, so let’s talk about the case another time.”

After speaking, Lin Yi looked at Li Xianghui, “Or you can discuss it with Brother Li. I’ll sit this one out.”

After a brief farewell, Lin Yi walked out of the guesthouse, hailed a cab by the roadside, and left in a carefree manner.

“What’s going on, he just left?” Zhao Su remarked, clearly displeased with Lin Yi’s behavior.

Or rather, everyone from the Songjiang precinct was quite unhappy.

“Team Leader Hao, Lin Yi is just like this. He’s used to being carefree. If there’s anything, you can discuss it with me. It’s the same,” Li Xianghui said with a smile.

“But the problem is, Team Leader Lin’s attitude…”

The people from the Xinshan precinct didn’t know what to say. Lin Yi’s actions were clearly inappropriate.

“No worries, Lin Yi is sharp-minded. Since he joined our branch, he’s cracked several major cases in a short time. Let’s go over the arrest plan first. I’ll notify him when he returns.”

“That’s all we can do. We’ve got everyone here, and dragging it out for too long isn’t good.”

“Yes, yes, that’s exactly what I mean.”

Then, the group was taken to the guesthouse restaurant to deal with dinner first.

…

Meanwhile, Lin Yi’s cab arrived at a familiar crawfish restaurant on Gui Street.

Ning Che, Qiu Yuluo, and Tao Cheng were already waiting for him there.

“Come on, we were just waiting for you.”

Seeing Lin Yi arrive, Tao Cheng greeted him warmly.

“No matter what, I’m still the team leader for this operation. There are a lot of things to arrange.”

After sitting down, Lin Yi opened a bottle of beer, took a big gulp, and cleared his throat.

“I really have to hand it to you. You’ve got your own company in business, you’re already a major in the public sector, and now you’ve become a cop too.”

“It’s just to pass the time. Otherwise, I’d be bored.” Lin Yi laughed, then looked at Qiu Yuluo and said,

“Did you find any information on Wei Jianlong that I asked you to look into?”

“I found it long ago, but I’ve been busy these past few days and forgot about it,” Qiu Yuluo said calmly.

“He’s just a petty thug dealing in contraband, nothing major. Tomorrow night, a Yuenanese merchant ship will be delivering goods. If you catch them in the act, it’s a done deal. I’ll send the specific details and information to your phone in a bit.”

Lin Yi had full confidence in the information Qiu Yuluo had gathered.

The Central Guards Brigade’s intelligence system was not to be underestimated.

“There’s one more thing.” Lin Yi peeled a crawfish and ate it as he spoke.

“You mentioned before that Boss Liu wanted to see me. Do you know what it’s about?”

“No, I don’t,” Qiu Yuluo said.

“At the time, he just said you should come over when you’re free. He hasn’t brought it up since or reminded me. If you’re free tomorrow, you should go over. As for Wei Jianlong, if you’re too busy, we can help you catch him.”

“No need for that. He’s just a small-time thug; catching him is a piece of cake.”

“True.”

The three of them then chatted a bit more about the Central Guards Brigade recruitment, and the drinking session went on until after eleven at night.

After leaving the restaurant, the four of them split up.

Qiu Yuluo and Tao Cheng left together, while Lin Yi and Ning Che went to the Pangu Hotel.

They spent the night there.

…

The next morning, around seven, Li Xianghui and the others gradually woke up. When they went to Lin Yi’s room, they found that he hadn’t returned.

“This guy really is wild, disappearing as soon as he gets to Yanjing,” Zhang Hui grumbled.

“I bet he went to see his online girlfriends,” Zhu Junzhi said.

“Alright, let’s drop it,” Li Xianghui said.

“Let’s wash up and eat first. He’ll probably be back soon.”

The people from the Xinshan precinct nodded and went about their business.

But even by nine in the morning, after they had finished breakfast, there was still no sign of Lin Yi, and they began to get anxious.

“Captain Li, it’s already this late, and Team Leader Lin still hasn’t shown up. What’s going on?” Ling Han asked.

“Don’t worry, I’ll give him a call.”

Knowing he was in a tricky situation, Li Xianghui took out his phone and called Lin Yi.

“Hello…”

But the person who answered wasn’t Lin Yi. It was Ning Che, her voice tinged with laziness.

Realizing it wasn’t Lin Yi on the line, Li Xianghui hesitated and double-checked the number to make sure he hadn’t dialed wrong.

“I’m looking for Lin Yi.”

“He’s sleeping right now. Call back later.”

Ning Che didn’t think much of it and hung up without hesitation.

Listening to the dial tone, Li Xianghui looked helplessly at the others.

“A woman answered. She said Lin Yi was sleeping and then hung up on me.”

“A woman?” Zhao Su said.

“At a time like this, he’s still out fooling around? That’s just irresponsible!” Zhao Su said.

Faced with the others’ accusations, Li Xianghui didn’t know what to say. After all, Lin Yi was clearly in the wrong.

Ring ring ring!

At that moment, Li Xianghui’s phone rang.

It was a call from Lin Yi.
