I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week - Chapter 1924: Looking for Him

Chapter 1924: Looking for Him
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After leaving Liu Guangxian’s office, Lin Yi drove away.

Li Xianghui and Gu Yiran, who were waiting for Lin Yi in the office, suddenly heard the sound of the engine outside.

They looked up and saw Lin Yi’s Type-R driving away for no reason.

“What happened? Wasn’t the leader talking to him? Why did he leave in a hurry?” Gu Yiran asked.

“He probably gave him a mission. He left to go do it.”

“That’s impossible.” Gu Yiran said.

“You’re the captain. Even if something happens, it will fall on you first and then be assigned down. It shouldn’t directly lead to him leaving.”

“I don’t know about that.” Li Xianghui said, holding his phone. “I’ll give Lin Yi a call and see what’s going on.”

He dialed Lin Yi’s number, but after a few rings, the call was automatically disconnected. Lin Yi didn’t pick up.

“What’s going on? He’s not answering his phone.”

Gou Yiran’s big eyes darted around. “Something doesn’t feel right.”

“What do you mean?”

Li Xianghui, being more straightforward, wasn’t as sensitive to these things as Gou Yiran.

“Think about it. The leader called him in clearly to talk about this case. You know Lin Yi’s temper. Even if he doesn’t outright defy the leader, he won’t back down easily. I bet they had an argument.”

“That can’t be.” Li Xianghui replied.

Lin Yi may have a fiery temper, but he understands the bigger picture.”

“Maybe in normal times, but this case clearly hit his bottom line. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have drawn his gun in the principal’s office.” Gou Yiran said.

“Brother Li, you should go check on him. We don’t want something serious happening.”

Li Xianghui frowned slightly, feeling that Gu Yiran made sense.

Knowing Lin Yi’s temper, it’s possible he might have clashed with the leader.

“You stay here. I’ll go check it out.”

Li Xianghui stubbed out his cigarette and walked out of the office, heading to the third floor. He knocked on Liu Guangxian’s office door.

“Come in.”

“Leader.”

Upon entering, Li Xianghui smiled.

“Good timing, I was just about to call you,” Liu Guangxian said, tossing Lin Yi’s badge over. “Give this back to Lin Yi.”

“Why is his badge here?”

“He got so angry he quit.”

“What? He quit?”

Li Xianghui was stunned. “Why did he quit all of a sudden?”

“He didn’t quit for real.” Liu Guangxian cursed. “Hold on to his things for now. Make sure he comes back tomorrow.”

Liu Guangxian didn’t want to lose Lin Yi. He was a good prospect, and it would be a real loss if he left.

“Then what should we do about this?” Li Xianghui probed.

“It’s official business. Go back and continue the interrogation. Handle it seriously!”

“Yes!”

Li Xianghui replied loudly. With Liu Guangxian’s support, he did not care so much.

…

It was already past five in the evening when Lin Yi left the police station.

After driving away, he received a call from Liang Ruoxu.

“Are you coming back tonight?”

“Of course,” Lin Yi said.

“Going to a hotel instead of home would be disrespectful to you.”

“So, should I thank you for that?”

“No need for thanks, that would be too formal.”

“Alright, enough joking around,” Liang Ruoxu said.

“I just got off work. What do you want to eat? I’ll cook something for you.”

“Whatever you feel like making is fine. I’m not picky,” Lin Yi replied.

“I should be at your place in about half an hour.”

“Drive safely.”

“Will do.”

After hanging up, Lin Yi drove leisurely, but his mind was preoccupied with Liu Peipei’s case.

He understood why Liu Guangxian and Li Xianghui seemed somewhat passive. They were ordinary people with many concerns, unlike him, who could act without hesitation.

However, he knew they were good-hearted.

Even if he didn’t handle the case himself, they would still try their best to resolve it.

Now, being temporarily free of official duties, it would be easier for him to deal with the matter privately.

He was determined to bring justice to Liu Peipei and her family.

Ring ring ring!

Just then, Lin Yi’s phone rang again. It was Li Xianghui calling.

Lin Yi answered the call casually.

“Brother Li.”

“Where have you been? I called you earlier, but you didn’t pick up.”

“I was driving and didn’t see it. What’s up?”

“I spoke with the leader. He wants you back at work tomorrow,” Li Xianghui said.

“Don’t be too upset with him. He’s got a lot more to consider than you do. If you need to vent, don’t take it out on him. It’s fortunate it’s him; other leaders wouldn’t tolerate your temper.”

“I know,” Lin Yi said with a laugh.

“Old Liu’s just got a tough exterior but a kind heart.”

“Good to know you understand. Don’t butt heads with him,” Li Xianghui continued.

“He also told me to let you know the case will be handled properly. He’s giving you an out, so give him some face.”

“Understood.”

“Alright then, see you at work tomorrow.”

“Got it.”

After hanging up, Lin Yi felt much better.

It wasn’t just about anything else. Liu Guangxian’s attitude was crucial.

His willingness to handle the case properly showed that there was still good in society.

Human decency hadn’t been completely overshadowed by darkness.

Soon, Lin Yi drove to Liang Ruoxu’s house.

As soon as he entered, he smelled the fragrance of meat.

Braised pork ribs, slices of papaya, and a kelp soup.

Although it was not sumptuous, it was considered nutritious.

“What have you been busy with recently? You’re not farming anymore, and you’re not going to Dongsan County to help the poor. Why are you still going out every day?” Liang Ruoxu asked while eating.

“Um…”

Although he had been working at the police station for some time, Liang Ruoxu had never known about this.

“Busy. There’s a lot of sh*t going on every day.”

“Is it about the Central Guards Brigade?”

“Not really. It’s still business. It won’t be long before I have to go back to the office. I can’t keep being a handler.”

Lin Yi didn’t plan to tell Liang Ruoxu that he was a police officer.

Otherwise, she would go to his branch for inspection every other day. It would not be good if he was exposed.

“I think it’s good that you’re going back to doing business. Don’t bother about the Central Guards Brigade.”

“Why are you bringing this up again? Hurry up and eat.”

Lin Yi picked up a piece of beef to feed Liang Ruoxu, trying to shut her up.

Liang Ruoxu also knew that Lin Yi didn’t want her to mention this again, so she tactfully didn’t continue.

After the meal, Lin Yi was in charge of washing the dishes. The two of them divided the work harmoniously.

…

Zhonghai City Second Hospital1.

Four MPVs were parked outside the hospital.

More than 20 people alighted from the car one after another. All of them were men. All of them had serious expressions that complemented the dark night.

The leader was Zhang Wenlai, who had been slapped by Lin Yi earlier in the day.

“Brother Zhang, I’m sure he’s here.”
