I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week - Chapter 2317

Chapter 2317: Chapter 2318: The Latest International Situation

“That was quick, wasn’t it?”

“Actually, it wasn’t much of our business, just going through the motions. The reports at the meeting were all prepared by Sister Qiu and Sister Ning, we were just there to add a bit.”

“Alright, I’ll head to the hospital later, we can have a detailed chat when we meet.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi drove to the Xinshan branch office.

The situation at the station was as usual, just missing Li Xianghui, it felt like something was lacking.

“Where have you been loafing these past few days?”

Zhang Hui, with a cigarette in his mouth, asked upon seeing Lin Yi enter.

Zhu Junchi and Gu Yiran were also there.

“Well, it’s almost the New Year, things are a bit busier.”

“Haha…”

The two burst into laughter, “I think it’s because you have too many girlfriends and don’t know whom to take care of.”

“I’m a decent person; you can’t accuse me wrongly.”

“If you’re a decent person, then there are no bad guys left.”

Lin Yi sat down in a chair, smiling.

“Brother Hui, anything new at the station recently?”

“Just trivial matters, but the Lunar New Year is coming, and traditionally, there will be a wave of crackdowns on pornography and illegal publications before the New Year,” said Zhang Hui.

“If you’re willing to participate, you can follow; if not, you can take your holiday early, and I’ll call you if there’s anything.”

“Don’t talk like that, no matter what, I’m a public servant. I definitely should be racing to join in on such matters, can’t be slacking off.”

Lin Yi couldn’t slack off when it came to tasks at the branch office since the mission could trigger at any moment.

Although he would become a Daoist priest after completing the last task, he still had to do his duties at this stage.

After staying at the branch office for a while and seeing nothing pressing, Lin Yi went to Huashan Hospital.

Li Xianghui was doing much better, only that his legs still couldn’t move and were bound in thick plaster; he needed a wheelchair to get around.

After chatting with Li Xianghui for a while, Lin Yi went to Zhao Yunhu’s ward.

He found this guy happily chatting with a nurse, all smiles.

It was a match made in heaven, and if Lin Yi didn’t intervene, they might start a fire.

“It seems you’ve recovered quickly, already starting to flirt with the nurses.”

“No, no, no.”

Seeing Lin Yi approach, Zhao Yunhu gave a sheepish smile, “We were just discussing his condition.”

“Mmm, discussing the condition,” said the nurse, smiling.

“You better not ‘communicate’ with him; an athlete who fires the gun before even taking off his pants, are you sure you can accept such a person?”

“Um…”

The nurse looked at Zhao Yunhu with a weird expression.

“Brother Hu, it’s time to change the bandages for the patients in the other wards, I’ll go have a look.”

“Damn it, boss, you’re ruining my reputation.”

“Try being a decent person,” Lin Yi said.

“A proper lady from a good family, you should refrain from such behaviors.”

“Okay.”

The two returned to the ward and found Yu Siying, Xiao Bing, and Shao Jianfeng playing Fight the Landlord.

“Lin Bro, boss.”

Seeing Lin Yi enter, the three stood up to greet him.

“Judging by your look, you seem to have mostly recovered.”

“Nothing serious now,” said Xiao Bing.

“Your injuries and Siying’s were more severe. Although they seem okay now, the subcutaneous tissues still need time to heal. You’ll need to recover for at least half a year. During this time, be cautious.”

Their expressions changed at that.

“Does that mean we can’t execute any missions for this half-year?”

“You can join in on small tasks, but don’t get involved in anything too dangerous. If you end up with sequelae, even I wouldn’t be able to keep you in the Central Guards Brigade, it’s a matter of principle.”

“Understood.”

Soon after, Sui Qiang and his two companions walked in from outside. All the members of the team assembled, ready for a small meeting.

“What did Boss Liu say about things over in Yanjing?”

“Liu grilled Zhou Fan overnight at the brigade, and he didn’t hold back, confessed everything. The Zhou family’s matter is now settled,” said Luo Qi.

“What about the stuff we brought back? What did the brigade say?”

Luo Qi became excited when this was brought up.

“Boss Liu personally commended us; those items seem to be even more important than we thought, he even said it might impact the world’s future layout.”

Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully.

If the retrieved ancient texts and the rewards given by the system were the same kind of thing, then the importance was self-evident.

If this technology could be applied to the Central Guards Brigade, their combat power would increase substantially.

“Let them research it; it’s not our concern.”

“That’s true, but I think that based on what Boss Liu implies, the international situation is becoming a bit uneasy, probably caused by those materials,” Luo Qi said.

“I heard Sister Qiu analyzing, other international powers seem to have also caught wind of it and are getting restless.”

Lin Yi’s eyes shifted, falling silent.

Apart from China, only Japan and Ruishi would know this news now.

Since Japan had originally obtained these things themselves, they definitely wouldn’t disclose anything, wanting to cash in big.

The only possibility then was Ruishi.

Because they were a permanently neutral country.

Having lost this chance to cooperate, it would be very difficult to get involved again.

And given Bernard’s cunning nature, it wouldn’t be strange for him to do this.

“Sister Qiu’s analysis makes sense, but with the influence of the Central Guard, there probably aren’t many who dare covet the materials.”

“But I think we should still take precautions, especially since something similar has happened before.”

Lin Yi nodded.

“Indeed, those big organizations that are prominent in the world can pose a threat, but it also depends on how valuable the materials really are, whether it’s worth it for them to do so.”

Everyone nodded frequently in agreement with Lin Yi’s point.

The impact of the matter depended entirely on the value of the materials.

And for Lin Yi, what he felt needed the most attention at this stage was Japan.

They certainly understood that during this international situation, they would have to act in advance.

So, the focus of defense during this period should be Japan.

After discussing affairs of the Guardian Brigade for a while, Lin Yi arranged for the hospital to discharge them.

They had been in there for more than a month; it was not feasible to keep staying.

At noon, Lin Yi took them to Qin Han’s barbecue restaurant to eat and drink heartily. Firstly, to celebrate the successful completion of the mission and secondly to celebrate their discharge.

It added a sense of ceremony to the mundane life.

The meal didn’t end until after seven in the evening. Everyone was slightly tipsy. They then went to a bar for a while, truly enjoying themselves before returning to the hotel to rest, preparing to go back to their own homes the next day.

Early next morning, a groggy Lin Yi was awakened by a shrill scream!

“Ah—! Lin Yi, something’s wrong, come and see!”
