I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2291: Chapter 2292: Protection

After returning home, Lin Yi found that Ji Qingyan had already fallen asleep.

He didn’t do anything else and went to rest after washing up.

The next morning, as soon as he went out, Lin Yi gave up on the idea of going to the Xinshan branch office and instead drove to Liang Ruoxu’s place.

Shen Shuyi was already up, and breakfast was ready.

In addition, Lin Yi also found that the house was filled with a mountain of tonics, definitely gifts from others meant to help Liang Ruoxu recuperate.

“Is she still sleeping?” Lin Yi asked, looking toward Liang Ruoxu’s bedroom.

Shen Shuyi nodded, “Have you eaten?”

“Not yet.”

In fact, Lin Yi had already eaten, but since breakfast was laid out on the table, if he said he’d finished, then Shen Shuyi would have to eat alone. It was better to sit down together and have a meal.

“Good, join me for a bit.”

Shen Shuyi brought an extra set of bowls and chopsticks, and the two sat down at the dining table.

“Have you thought of a solution?”

Lin Yi shrugged, “This came too suddenly, and the Freemasons don’t have many substantial industries. It’s not easy to strike at them.”

“Freemasons?” Shen Shuyi was a bit surprised.

Lin Yi simply explained the situation, and the latter understood the cause.

“It seems this matter is more complicated than I imagined.”

“I plan to frame the Zhou family for this, as a way to divert attention,” Lin Yi said,

“As for the risks the Liang family is taking on, they can be offset by the Carbon-based Chip incident. After all, what’s done is done. Revenge is a separate matter. The only thing to do now is to make amends.”

Shen Shuyi nodded, “Given the current situation, we must find a scapegoat, and two bank executives have already been dealt with; they were just unlucky.”

“There’s no helping it. When such an incident happens, naturally, someone must take responsibility.”

Lin Yi expressed his agreement with Shen Shuyi’s approach.

A true gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and no man is a true man without a bit of poison.

Those in high positions cannot afford to be soft-hearted.

Buzz buzz buzz—

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

“I need to take a call.”

Shen Shuyi nodded.

Lin Yi answered the call and could see from the background that Qiu Yuluo was in her office.

“What’s up?”

“You can talk freely there, right?”

“Sure.”

“We just had a meeting and are preparing to make a move on the Zhou family.”

“Have all the clues been checked?”

Qiu Yuluo nodded, “I’ll tell you the details now.”

“There is an overseas organization called KD that has hijacked a Japanese transport ship and has now headed for Ruishi. The Zhou family has established contact with them, and both sides are preparing to cooperate—the people are in Ruishi!”

“Slow down, what’s on the Japanese transport ship? What’s there for the Zhou family and the overseas organization to cooperate on?”

“That transport ship was returning from the island, and it’s said to have some advanced technology on board, but exactly what it is, I don’t know. It’s probably very important, otherwise no overseas force would dare to make a move against the government.”

“The Japanese side has sent people, haven’t they?”

Qiu Yuluo nodded, “Yes.”

“If it’s really important technology, other forces wouldn’t let it go, would they?”

“For the time being, there’s no movement, at least it hasn’t caught anyone else’s attention.” Qiu Yuluo continued,

“We only discovered this lead while tracking the Zhou family.”

Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully, “What are the arrangements from above?”

“Set off immediately, the Zhou family cannot be left alone. As for that technology, it depends on the situation,” Qiu Yuluo stated,

“You and your team prepare. We will fly directly to Zhong Hai and act together, arriving around noon.”

“Understood.”

After hanging up with Qiu Yuluo, Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief. He hadn’t expected things to become so urgent.

If it was just to capture the Zhou family, they would probably not be in such a rush. It was very likely related to the KD organization.

Lin Yi sat silently in his chair.

At this point, he was no longer very concerned about the Zhou family’s matters.

Instead, he was more interested in what KD had taken from the Japanese transport ship.

Many things on Tilia Island at the current stage could be proven to be revolutionary.

That KD dared to do such a thing was enough to illustrate the importance of the item.

Boss Liu’s urgency to handle the situation seemed natural.

“Are you leaving?” Shen Shuyi asked.

Lin Yi nodded, “There’s an important task from above; I need to get ready.”

“Be careful, your identity is different now.”

“I know. I’ll be troubling you these next few days.”

“Go ahead.”

Lin Yi stood up and opened Liang Ruoxu’s room door, finding her still fast asleep, apparently unaware of anything.

A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Yi’s mouth, and then he gently closed the door and left.

The house quieted down. Shen Shuyi walked over to the kitchen windowsill and watched Lin Yi get into the car and leave.

Perhaps it was his protection that allowed her silly daughter to sleep so soundly until now.

After leaving Liang Ruoxu’s house, Lin Yi drove to the Chaoyang Group.

“Aren’t you supposed to be at the branch office?”

Ji Qingyan glanced at the clock, noticing it was just after nine, and looked at Lin Yi curiously.

“I went to the branch office, but I got a call from Japan saying they have made new progress in the field of lithography machines. They’ve invited me and Boss Shen to take a look and start new cooperation. We two plan to go over and check it out, so I came to tell you.”

Although Ji Qingyan said she wouldn’t interfere in Lin Yi’s affairs anymore.

But Lin Yi still didn’t want her to know too much, so he came up with such an excuse.

“Do you need me to go back and pack for you?”

“No need,” Lin Yi said with a smile, waving his hand. “I’ll be back in a few days. There’s no need for such a fuss.”

“When are you leaving? I’ll drop you off.”

“It’s fine, I can just drive there with Boss Shen. Go about your business.”

“I’ll see you out.”

Having grown accustomed to Lin Yi’s frequent departures, Ji Qingyan didn’t cling to him too sentimentally.

After all, she wasn’t a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl anymore. She knew when to let go and change her stance.

But even so, Ji Qingyan still escorted Lin Yi to the parking lot and watched him drive away.

After saying goodbye to Ji Qingyan, Lin Yi visited the research institute and briefed Shen Tianzhuo on the situation.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony, and just treat it like a business trip.”

“No problem, it’s all covered,” Lin Yi said with a chuckle.

Around noon, the two arrived at the airport. Lin Yi and Shen Tianzhuo went their separate ways; the rest of the journey was his own to arrange.

At the same time, Lin Yi also met Sui Qiang, Zhang Chaoyue, and Luo Qi there.

As for the others, Lin Yi didn’t bring them along, as they weren’t fully recovered yet.

“I sent you on a mission, not on a vacation,” Lin Yi said to Luo Qi, pointing at her,

“Dressed in a V-neck to go out? Do you think Ruishi is Zhong Hai?”
