I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2716: Chapter 2717: I Am the Special Consultant

It was past nine in the morning, and Lin Yi hadn’t returned home yet.

As for his reason for staying out all night, he had already arranged it.

Just say the four of them went to a bar for drinks yesterday.

Things like this, everyone was quite familiar with; they didn’t even need to say much to know what to do.

After all, after taking the blame for so many years, they’ve learned a thing or two.

But on the way, Lin Yi received a call from Zhu Junchi.

“Where are you?”

“On my way, heading home.”

“Don’t go home yet; come to the station. We’re getting ready to head out.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up with Zhu Junchi, Lin Yi called Ji Qingyan to tell her he was heading to the station, then turned the car around.

About half an hour later, Lin Yi drove to the Qingshan Branch Office and then met up with Zhu Junchi and Gu Yiran to go to Pingjiang City.

“Is there any new information over there?” Lin Yi asked on the way.

“Still interrogating,” Zhu Junchi said:

“But from the clues we have now, this organization posing as Mao Mountain Daoists might be larger than we imagined. If we handle this well, it could be quite an achievement.”

“Sending just the three of us, is that enough manpower?”

“We’re just assisting with this; they’re the main force,” Zhu Junchi said:

“Your Brother Hui specifically reminded us not to use your car to avoid stealing their thunder and leaving a bad impression.”

“I understand,” Lin Yi said with a chuckle.

Zhong Hai isn’t far from Pingjiang City, about 110 kilometers.

They drove for a little over an hour and arrived at the Zhonghu Branch Office in Pingjiang City.

The three parked the car at the entrance, where a man and a woman stood.

The man was in his forties, had a square face, a slightly plump build, and looked mature, giving off a very reliable vibe.

The man’s name was Liu Qingming, the captain of the Zhonghu Branch Office.

The person beside him looked quite young, about twenty-eight or nine, with short hair, giving off a clever and sharp impression.

The woman’s name was Su Ying, a member of the Zhonghu Branch Office.

“Looking like this, the woman must be the police belle of the Zhonghu Branch. Sending her out must have an ulterior motive,”

Lin Yi whispered to Gu Yiran.

“What ulterior motive?”

“Just to overshadow you,” Lin Yi said:

“At this point, Brother Zhu and I aren’t important; you represent the face of the Xinshan team. Stand tall and show your demeanor.”

If it were any other time, Gu Yiran would surely ignore Lin Yi.

But at this moment, seemingly due to female jealousy and a strange sense of competition, Gu Yiran actually did as Lin Yi suggested.

Seeing the two whispering, Su Ying knew Lin Yi was discussing her, and her face changed a bit, thinking Lin Yi was quite frivolous, leaving a bad impression.

However, likewise, as a strong-willed Chinese woman, Su Ying didn’t show signs of weakness and stood taller as well.

Regrettably, she wasn’t as well-endowed as Gu Yiran.

“You’ve had a tough journey; let’s talk inside.”

“Okay.”

The trio was welcomed into the office, and Zhu Junchi straightforwardly asked:

“Brother Liu, let me introduce you, this is Gu Yiran. She called you before; you should remember.”

“Yes, yes, an efficient worker, clear in speech, a good prospect. Your Xinshan team really has talents aplenty.”

“Captain Liu flatters too much,” Gu Yiran said politely.

Zhu Junchi turned to Lin Yi:

“This is Lin Yi, a former colleague of mine.”

“Former colleague?”

“Yes, he quit now, but upon hearing about the case, he came back to help.”

“Captain Zhu, according to the rules, this isn’t quite suitable,” Su Ying said.

Hmm?

Is this woman not thinking straight?

Although it violates regulations, nobody cares about these matters privately.

Yet she brought it up publicly, is her emotional intelligence too low?

“There’s nothing unsuitable. It’s not like he’s an outsider. As long as the case is handled well, the rest are minor things,” Liu Qingming said, smoothing things over for Lin Yi.

“Although I’ve resigned, I’m participating in this action as a special consultant, so don’t misunderstand,” Lin Yi said.

“Huh? Special consultant?”

Su Ying was stunned, and Liu Qingming was equally surprised.

In contrast, Zhu Junchi and Gu Yiran didn’t understand Lin Yi’s special consultant role either.

“I’ll be honest; I’m now a Daoist priest at the Shangqing Palace on Longhu Mountain, and the 96th successor of Daoism founder Zhang Daoling. And the people you’re capturing are Mao Mountain Daoists, so I attend as a special consultant. That shouldn’t break any rules, right?”

“Uh…”

Lin Yi’s identity took the two by surprise; they hadn’t seen this kind of operation before.

Instead, Zhu Junchi and Gu Yiran were already used to it.

He was the kind that played by his own rules.

“This isn’t anything major,” Zhu Junchi said:

“Like Captain Liu said, as long as we catch the culprits, it’ll be fine.”

“That’s right; now that everyone is here, we can plan the next steps.”

Knock knock knock—

While Liu Qingming was speaking, knocking sounded at the door.

“Come in.”

“Captain Liu.”

A young guy, in his twenties with short hair, tall and energized, came in.

“What’s the situation?” Liu Qingming asked.

“They’re still not talking, steadfastly insisting they didn’t sell fake medicine.”

“These people’s mouths are really tight; we need to show them a thing or two.”

Liu Qingming had assumed they’d quickly crack these people, hence notifying Zhu Junchi and the rest for the next captures.

Now, though, people were here, but he didn’t get the information he wanted.

This, invisibly, was a hit to Liu Qingming’s reputation.

“I’ll go have a look.”

“Let’s go together. It’s not like we’re doing anything else anyway.”

“Don’t mind.”

“It’s no big deal; we encounter people like this often.”

The group left the office and went to the interrogation room.

Inside was a man in his thirties with greasy hair styled into a topknot, clearly dressed like a Daoist priest.

“You’re already here, so no matter what you say, you can’t avoid a sentence anyway; it’s better if you tell us what you know now, for more lenient treatment.”

“We didn’t do anything; can’t you allow Daoist priests to preach?”

“I didn’t say it’s not allowed; don’t twist words,” Liu Qingming said sternly:

“Your downstream have already exposed you; there’s no use in arguing now!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Please don’t wrong me.”

Hearing their conversation, Lin Yi and Gu Yiran exchanged glances, sensing this person must be slippery.

This case might be more troublesome than they imagined.
