I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week - Chapter 2292

Chapter 2292: Chapter 2293: Complex Situation

“It’s okay, just below zero.”

Luo Qi said,

“After all, I’m the only woman. If the mission requires it, I can pretend to be your wife; that way, it would look more convincing.”

“If you’re feeling itchy, go find yourself a partner, and stop fantasizing about the boss every day,” Zhang Chaoyue teased.

“Get lost, I’ll do as I please.”

As the two were mocking each other, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che walked over.

“How come it’s just the two of you? Where are the other team members?”

“I arranged for them to go directly,” Ning Che said.

“Spreading out the personnel has its advantages for this operation.”

“That makes sense,” Lin Yi nodded.

“Let’s go now.”

Once the six of them boarded the plane and it took off, Qiu Yuluo said,

“I’ve gotten the latest news; they seem to have made contact with the Swiss official and are preparing to jointly develop new technology. Things are getting more complicated.”

“With a Swiss official partner?” Lin Yi frowned,

“The Swiss officials aren’t short of money, so in this partnership, the Zhou family’s position is quite disadvantaged.”

“That’s true, but you’re missing one point: Switzerland is a permanently neutral country, recognized by the whole world. If they dare get involved in this, they will face global backlash.”

“But if they enter into a partnership, it means they are involved.”

“There’s a strict boundary here, whether the Swiss side will provide funding or not,” Qiu Yuluo said.

“So in this, the Zhou family plays a crucial role, with the Swiss officials reaping the benefits.”

“That makes sense,” Lin Yi pondered for a few seconds before asking,

“Can we track their specific movements now?”

“Since last night, we lost track of the Zhou family, so Boss Liu called an urgent meeting for us to take action quickly.”

“Is there no news at all now?”

“You could say that; they’ve been off the radar for several hours,” Qiu Yuluo said.

“I guess the Swiss officials have provided them with shelter, otherwise they couldn’t have vanished without a trace.”

“If that’s the case, we need to start with the Swiss officials,” Lin Yi tapped his fingers on the armrest. “Do you know who is in charge of this?”

“It’s Carl Bernard, the chairman’s son.”

“His own family member is in charge? Are you sure?”

“It feels almost certain,” Qiu Yuluo said.

“Some insiders mentioned that this Carl Bernard has met Zhou Guangyao, although only once. I suspect there’s a necessary connection.”

“After analyzing it, it seems very likely. If other officials were in charge, there would be a risk of leakage. It’s safer to keep it within the family.”

“Moreover, in a country like Switzerland, their powers are highly unstable. It makes sense that they are nurturing such a force secretly.”

“That explains it. Despite being wealthy, the officials can’t contribute, and the Zhou family fills this void.”

“Our thoughts align,” Qiu Yuluo said.

“So now, our main target is to locate this Carl Bernard, find a way to get close to him, and extract useful information to capture Zhou Guangyao.”

“Actually, I think a person like Zhou Guangyao isn’t important anymore. The crucial thing is how to obtain the technology they hold,” Lin Yi said.

“I knew it; your goals are never simple,” Ning Che said with a smile.

“We’re here now, might as well go big.”

“Sister Qiu, does this Carl Bernard have any particular hobbies or interests? Like, is he into women? I could try to get close to him,” Luo Qi offered.

Qiu Yuluo’s expression turned weird, and she glanced at Lin Yi instinctively.

“According to some public information and investigations, he doesn’t seem to have much interest in women. He’s 35 and not married yet, not even a girlfriend.”

“Holy shit, is he straight?” Zhang Chaoyue exclaimed in surprise.

“Um… that’s not exactly accurate. He’s gay.”

“Damn!”

Everyone exclaimed again, turning their eyes to Lin Yi.

“What the fuck are you all looking at me for?” Lin Yi cursed, “If you’re going to do it, find Zhang Chaoyue; I’m fucking not doing it.”

“No no, better look for Brother Qiang; with my small frame, I can’t handle this.”

The honest Sui Qiang sat quietly aside, but his expression showed he was a bit disgusted.

“Let’s consider this over time.”

Afterward, they analyzed Carl Bernard’s personality traits and devised a specific plan.

However, no one was willing to sacrifice themselves for this.

Because of Zhou Guangyao, it was very likely that the opposition was aware of Group One’s members. Hence, such actions seemed somewhat risky.

After about 20 hours of flight, the plane landed at Zurich Airport, and it was just after two in the afternoon, Swiss Time—perfect timing.

Once they reached the hotel, all members of the three groups were dispatched and underwent disguises and alterations to comprehensively track Carl Bernard.

“What are you thinking about? You haven’t said a word?”

After dispatching the three groups, Lin Yi joined two other members at the hotel’s café to wait for news and plan their next steps.

But throughout, it was Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che talking, with Lin Yi silently sitting aside, not participating much.

“When I entered the hotel just now, I saw someone with an Asian face, who looked like he could be from Japan.”

The two looked at each other. They hadn’t noticed this detail, but it was very likely what Lin Yi said.

“Are you worried that their involvement will complicate the situation further and thus affect our mission?”

“That’s only part of the reason. If it’s just the Japanese sending people, that wouldn’t be too troublesome, but I’m worried about leaks,” Lin Yi said.

“On the international stage, America still holds a dominant role, and since Japan is their lackey, what KD organization knows, possibly others might as well, or at least rumors might spread. Once America learns of this, they will definitely pressure Japan, and no one knows what the endgame will be.”

“Japan is definitely a lackey, but I don’t think they’ll give in on this,”

“Japan might not, and neither will America. Anything leaked from the island could be revolutionary, even affecting their dominant status. By that point, I guess they’ll be ruthless.”
