I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week - Chapter 1962: You Can’t Leave

Fang Dezong looked at the clock on the wall.

“After injecting the C-class serum, the side effects are probably already showing. He should be completely dead, but we still have to bring the corpse back. He still has research value.”

Fang Dezong paused again and said,

“Logically speaking, he should be in the hospital now. If we send someone over now, we can catch them off guard.”

“Got it. I’ll arrange it now.”

“There can be no other mistakes this time,” Fang Dezong said.

“Otherwise, we won’t have much say in the headquarters in the future.”

“I understand.”

…

Huashan Hospital was unusually quiet at night.

Qin Han, Liang Jinming, and Ning Che were drinking beer and playing Fight the Landlord card game together. No matter how one looked at it, they did not look like they were here to take care of a patient.

Gao Zongyuan also wanted to go and play, but after being scolded by He Yuanyuan, he did not dare to go.

Qiu Yuluo was with Liu Hong, discussing what to do next.

In the intensive care unit of the ICU, Ji Qingyan was still quietly accompanying Lin Yi, hoping that he would wake up soon.

At ten past midnight, Lin Yi’s fingers twitched. When he opened his eyes, he realized that Ji Qingyan had fallen asleep by the bed and was snoring slightly.

As if sensing the commotion, Ji Qingyan raised her head abruptly. Their gazes met in midair, both filled with surprise!

“You’re awake!”

Ji Qingyan stood up excitedly, but soon, her expression became uneasy as she turned around and left.

Lin Yi, who was lying on the hospital bed, grabbed her hand.

“Since you’re already here, just stay for a while.”

Ji Qingyan stood rooted to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

How could she not want to stay? However, the matter regarding Liang Ruoxu made it difficult for her to calm down.

Until now, she had not let it go.

“I have other things to do. I’ll leave first.”

Ji Qingyan broke free from Lin Yi’s restraints and walked towards the ICU door.

“You can’t leave,” Lin Yi said.

“Wherever you go, I’ll find you.”

“Don’t go overboard!”

“I’ve always been that way, you know.”

“I can’t be bothered with you!”

With that, she strode out of the ICU ward.

Upon seeing Ji Qingyan, He Yuanyuan immediately went up to her and asked hurriedly.

“Senior Sister, you’ve come out. How’s the situation?”

“He’s already awake. I’ll leave first. You guys stay here with him.”

Gao Zongyuan was overjoyed. He said to the three people who were playing cards, “Stop playing. Brother Lin is awake.”

“F*ck, why so fast?” Qin Han said.

“I’ve got two kings, four twos, and a flush. This hand is a sure-winner.”

“Senior Sister, he has woken up. Why not stay a little longer?”

“No need. You all stay here.”

“I’ll go with you.”

He Yuanyuan chose not to stay behind. Compared to Lin Yi, she was more concerned about Ji Qingyan.

As Ji Qingyan and He Yuanyuan left, Liu Hong, Qin Han, and the hospital doctors arrived at the ICU.

“How are you feeling now?” Li Chuhan asked, stepping forward.

“I feel a bit numb, but other than that, I should be able to get out of bed and move around soon.”

Lin Yi understood his condition well.

Having reached C-class, his physical functions had significantly improved, and the effects of the C-class serum were no longer harming him.

The remaining serum would just need to be slowly metabolized.

Thinking about this, Lin Yi felt a surge of anger towards the system.

If he had received the task reward earlier, he wouldn’t have been in such a dire situation.

He could have dealt with those people without needing the C-class serum.

“I’m just glad you’re okay,” Liu Hong said with a heavy sigh of relief.

Looking at Lin Yi, someone he had personally mentored through life-and-death situations, Liu Hong felt deeply troubled.

If anything had happened to Lin Yi, he would have been responsible.

Lin Yi grabbed Li Chuhan’s hand. “I’m fine now. You don’t need to worry. We have some personal matters to discuss. Please leave us for a bit, and we’ll talk later.”

“Alright.”

The doctors present, many of whom had participated in the initial rescue, knew of Lin Yi’s special status. They conducted a quick check-up and then left hurriedly.

So did Qin Han and the others.

Now, only Lin Yi, Liu Hong, Qiu Yuluo, and Ning Che were in the ICU room, making the atmosphere tense.

“We can talk about the mission later. You need to rest,” Liu Hong said.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry,” Lin Yi said, looking at Ning Che. “Give me your phone.”

“My phone?”

Ning Che handed over her phone.

“They boarded the ship by helicopter last night. I left my phone on it. We should be able to track their location.”

“Let’s check it.”

Lin Yi unlocked Ning Che’s phone, logged in to his app, and started the tracking function, immediately locking onto Chen Canrong’s movements.

This was why Fang Shihong had ordered Chen Canrong’s execution.

They anticipated such a problem and preemptively eliminated him and destroyed the evidence.

But they were a step too late.

“This guy was pretty sneaky, moving through so many places,” Ning Che said.

“With Huaxia, Sunrise Land, Jaewon, and Shianggang’s airspaces under lockdown, it’d be impossible for them to leave by plane. They could only use helicopters, stopping along the way for supplies before returning.”

“But the problem is, their trail ends here in Shianggang. Could someone have picked them up here and flown them out?” Ning Che speculated.

“That’s possible, but there’s another possibility,” Lin Yi said. “Their destination could be Shianggang.”

“Their destination is Shianggang?!”

“That’s my guess.”

Lin Yi said,

“The person who contacted us spoke with a Shianggang accent. Among the five C-class experts, there were two Terran faces. They also had a semi-Shianggang accent. I don’t think this is a coincidence. It’s very likely that they’re from Shianggang.”

“We know about the situation in Shianggang,” Qiu Yuluo said.

“The largest organization there is called Hongmen. Although it was initially an anti-Mainland organization, it has gradually evolved into a civil society organization over the years. It’s unlikely that they would do such a thing.”

“This could just be a cover to mislead us while they operate in secrecy, doing things no one knows about,” Lin Yi speculated.

“Even if your theory is valid, I still don’t believe they have the capability to develop C-class serums. If even Meiguo can’t do it, they certainly can’t,” Qiu Yuluo said.

“Indeed. It does seem far-fetched to say they developed the C-class serum. That’s why I suspect there’s an even higher-level organization involved, the real developers of the C-class serum, while Hongmen is just their tool,” Lin Yi continued.
