I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2279: Chapter 2280: Hope Things Turn Out Differently Than Expected

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Li Xianghui also blinked.

“Is the medicine still on you?”

Li Xianghui closed his eyes and only opened them after a long while.

Lin Yi thought for a moment, “Do you not know where it went?”

Li Xianghui blinked.

Confirming his suspicion, Lin Yi felt much relieved.

Solving a case was just like this: when you found a clue and then slowly unraveled it, the thread of truth would flow as smoothly as silk.

“Brother Li, I’ve asked everything I wanted to.”

Lin Yi leaned down and whispered in Li Xianghui’s ear:

“Don’t worry, this matter won’t end here, I will definitely seek revenge for you.”

This time, Li Xianghui tried hard to shake his head, although the movement was very slight, it clearly conveyed his intention.

Lin Yi gave him a comforting look.

“I have it under control.”

Because Li Xianghui was still very weak, Lin Yi didn’t want to delay him too long.

He walked to the door and found the ICU director.

“Brother Wang, there’s something I want to discuss with you.”

“Go ahead.”

“Regarding the patient named Li Xianghui, even if his condition allows, don’t move him out yet, wait for my notice. But in the meantime, if his wife wants to visit him, I’d appreciate it if you could accommodate her.”

“What are you talking about, your word is good enough here,” the ICU director patted his shoulder. “As long as it’s something I can do, it’s no problem at all here.”

“Then thank you, Brother Wang, I owe you a drink.”

“I’ll hold you to that.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Yi left the ICU.

Although he might be discharged tonight with good luck, to avoid any mishaps, Lin Yi decided to let Li Xianghui stay a bit longer.

After leaving, Lin Yi went to the ward and found Li Xianghui’s wife, Zhang Wenli, with Ling Han by her side.

“Lin Yi, what specific time can Brother Li come out?”

“The situation is pretty good, but I had the hospital run an extra test for safety,” Lin Yi said.

“But I’ve already spoken to the doctor. You can go see him anytime you like, don’t worry.”

Hearing Lin Yi say this, Zhang Wenli was much relieved.

Being the head nurse of Zhonghai Third Hospital, she was familiar with the procedures here, which saved Lin Yi a lot of explanation.

At least he was safe, and she could still visit him, which was what mattered most.

“Is there any progress on the case?” Ling Han asked.

Lin Yi nodded, “Come out for a second, I’ll explain in detail. You’ll need to handle this matter yourself, I don’t trust anyone else.”

“Okay.” Ling Han said seriously.

The two went to the stairwell of the corridor. Lin Yi took out a transparent strip from his pocket, containing several particles the size of sesame seeds.

“What is this?”

“Didn’t you find the last piece of Betalek at Wang Mei Jia’s place and prepared it for testing, then suddenly there was a car accident?”

Ling Han nodded.

“This is what I found on Brother Li’s clothes, and we have confirmed it’s the residue of that piece of Betalek,” Lin Yi said.

“Now the problem lies here. Take this to get tested. If the compound belongs to Betalek, then there’s another cause for Ma Dehong’s death; if it’s counterfeit, then the problem is right here.”

Looking at the transparent bag in Lin Yi’s hand, Ling Han’s expression was complicated as he took it.

“Team Leader Lin, rest assured, I will handle this well.”

Lin Yi looked at his watch and sighed deeply.

“It’s getting late, I bet the people at the testing agency have already gone home. Anyway, don’t rush it, make sure the results are absolutely accurate.”

“I understand.”

“Go ahead.”

Ling Han nodded and then left.

Lin Yi stood still, gazing at her departing figure, his expression wistful.

After a long while, Lin Yi stretched lazily, having arranged everything at the hospital, and now all that was left was to wait for the results.

He hoped it would be different from what he imagined.

Then, Lin Yi went to the ward to check on Zhao Yunhu.

He was already able to move around on the ground, and he could be discharged in three days at most.

Yu Siying and Xiao Bing looked like they were fine on the outside.

Lin Yi planned to keep them a few more days, arrange a meal after Zhao Yunhu was discharged, and then disband the team.

After visiting the group, Lin Yi went to see Li Chuhan and Qiao Xin before driving back to Ji Qingyan’s home.

Hearing the engine sound outside, Song Lan habitually welcomed Lin Yi inside.

“Why didn’t you call ahead so I could have prepared some dishes for you?”

“No need, no need, I’m not an outsider,” Lin Yi said with a smile. “Just heat up the leftovers for me.”

“That won’t do, I’ll go fry a couple more dishes for you.”

“Auntie Song, if you keep being this polite, I might not come over anymore,” Lin Yi said, “Heating up the leftovers is fine.”

“Alright then, you sit in the living room while I go heat up the food.”

“Sure.”

Inside the house, Lin Yi noticed that there was no one in the living room.

“Where is everyone?”

“Your uncle went out to play cards, and Yanyan is busy working upstairs. I’ll go call her down.”

“No, no, let her work. Don’t disturb her train of thought.”

“Alright then, you can go find her after we eat.”

“Okay.”

A few minutes later, Song Lan reheated the evening dishes for Lin Yi and even cut some fruit, very thoughtfully.

Lin Yi ate quickly, finishing in just over ten minutes, then chatted with Song Lan for a while before going upstairs to find Ji Qingyan.

As he ascended the stairs, Lin Yi was a bit puzzled.

Ji Qingyan had very sharp ears. It had been at least half an hour since he entered the house, and she hadn’t come out.

Was she too focused?

When he reached the study and pushed the door open, he unexpectedly saw Ji Qingyan asleep on the desk.

This surprised Lin Yi a bit. The two had been together for almost two years now, most of which they spent at Jiuzhou Pavilion.

Back then, she would work every day, but this was the first time he had seen her sleeping in the study.

And it was just after eight in the evening, far from her usual rest time.

Lin Yi picked up a piece of clothing and gently covered Ji Qingyan with it.

Seemingly feeling Lin Yi’s action, Ji Qingyan groggily woke up.

“You’re back.”

“Why are you sleeping here?”

“I was looking at the reports just now and suddenly felt very sleepy, and then I fell asleep.”

Ji Qingyan stretched lazily, yawned adorably, and secretly wiped away some drool.

“I don’t know why, but I felt particularly sleepy today, even though I already took a nap at the company at noon.”

“The carbon-based chip project has just started; you might be too tired,” Lin Yi said.

“If you’re sleepy, don’t worry about it anymore, go to bed.”

Ji Qingyan nodded, “I’m still not fully awake; I’ll go back to sleep. If you’re not sleepy, go play games and don’t mind me.”

“Go ahead.”

Ji Qingyan went back to her room, yawning continuously, and didn’t even bother to wash up.

Ring, ring, ring—

At that moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was a call from Qiu Yuluo.

“Is there a result?”
