I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week-Chapter 2223 - 2224: Eye-blocking Technique

Chapter 2223: Chapter 2224: Eye-blocking Technique

After the trade with Ling Han was completed, the two Hongmen members returned to their car right away.

“Boss, the trade is done, Ma Dehong is dead, and we’ve got the information from Pufa Bank.”

“Destroy the stuff, then come back.”

“Okay.”

…

Shianggang, Dongfang Wenhua Hotel.

...

A black Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up at the entrance of the hotel.

A middle-aged man got out of the car, straightened his suit, and casually glanced around before entering the hotel.

This man was Zhou Guangyao, who had been in close contact with Shao Zhenye and others in the days prior.

Once his son was expelled by the Central Guards Brigade, he had keenly set his sights overseas.

But with the Zhou family’s own strength, carving out a niche in the overseas market was extremely difficult.

Thus, he was actively laying out the family’s power overseas.

He had even transferred most of his assets to America, giving up on the domestic market.

And Hongmen on Shianggang was a key part of their overseas market strategy.

Without the aid of the gene serum, his plan would have been utterly impossible.

So, at the critical moment of the trade, he came to Shianggang personally to supervise, not wanting any accidents.

Under someone else’s guidance, Zhou Guangyao went up to the fourth floor and was greeted into a reception room.

Originally, it was in this room that Fang Dezhong had met with Evans and Walker.

Except things had changed now, with two of these people already dead.

Sitting inside the reception room was a middle-aged man who stood up smoothly to welcome Zhou Guangyao inside.

“Mr. Li Zhi, welcome to Shianggang.”

The speaker was Li Zhenquan, who had once been Hongmen’s second in command on Shianggang.

Following the death of the current leader Fang Dezhong, Hongmen’s leadership was taken over by the vice president, Li Zhenquan.

“Mr. Li Zhi is too kind.”

Both men shook hands and then returned to their seats.

After they had exchanged pleasantries, they delved straight into the matter at hand.

“Mr. Li Zhi, have you taken care of everything with Zhong Hai?”

“I just received a call from below; Ma Dehong is dead, and there’s no chance of the serum’s formula leaking,” said Li Zhenquan calmly, taking a sip of tea:

“Our trade can proceed as normal.”

Zhou Guangyao thought for a moment; he always felt there was more to this than met the eye, yet he couldn’t find any fault.

“Are you sure Ma Dehong didn’t know anything?”

“I can guarantee with my reputation that Ma Dehong was unaware of the trade,” Li Zhenquan declared:

“The only reason we killed him was to prevent him from leaking details about the research facility. You can be rest assured about that.”

…

The next morning, when Ji Qingyan got up, she found that Lin Yi had already started making breakfast.

“You’re up so early?”

“I slept early yesterday, so I woke up early too,” Lin Yi said. “Go ahead and wash up; breakfast is all ready.”

“Okay, going now.”

In reality, Lin Yi hadn’t slept at all last night, but as day broke, he decided not to sleep, bought some breakfast, and not long after he returned, Ji Qingyan woke up.

Roughly half an hour later, Ji Qingyan was all tidied up, business as usual.

“What do you think about collaborating with the Li family, are you sure you want to work with them?”

Seeing that Lin Yi seemed a bit distracted, Ji Qingyan brought up a topic.

Lin Yi considered for a moment and then nodded his head, saying:

“I talked to Boss Shen yesterday; our main focus is on the Carbon-based Chip, which requires substantial financial support. Collaboration is a good method, and involving the Mitsui Group is necessary, or we might not have enough money.”

“If that’s the case, we’ll inevitably attract the attention of the Western Consortium,” Ji Qingyan said:

“The project will face difficulties from the very start.”

“You’re right about that, but it’s an unknown whether they can actually restrain us,” Lin Yi said:

“They are bound together by interests, and their relationships aren’t as solid as ours. Besides, how much money they can fork out to hinder us is uncertain. If they really want to play dirty, it’ll take some effort on their part.”

“But the big consortia on Wall Street might take the opportunity to step in,” Ji Qingyan added:

“If they invest, we might not be able to hold them off.”

Lin Yi chuckled, “That’s even less of an issue. If they really dare to do that, we’ll just use an Eye-blocking Technique behind the scenes. After all, we hold the initiative. No matter what they do, I have countermeasures ready.”

Ji Qingyan laughed, looking at Lin Yi, “I always knew; not many can take advantage of you.”

“Absolutely, I won’t do business at a loss.”

After discussing work matters for a while, they finished breakfast.

Ji Qingyan went back to change her clothes, and Lin Yi went to get the car, then drove her to Chaoyang Group.

After sending Ji Qingyan off, Lin Yi didn’t go to the division office but took a day off and returned home.

At this time, his team had already infiltrated Shianggang, ready for the next operation.

Once back home, Lin Yi connected with Yu Siying via video call.

“Boss, we’ve got the tickets for the venue, right behind the target,” Yu Siying said:

“The weapons you sent over have all been received, and we are ready to move at any time.”

“I won’t be there for this operation, so you’ll be in command on the scene.”

“Received.”

“Don’t act as a group for tomorrow’s mission,” Lin Yi instructed:

“You take Zhang Chaoyue; the two of you infiltrate the venue and keep an eye on the specific details. The rest, led by Sui Qiang, will monitor the outside, look for potential risks, and provide cover for Siying and Chaoyue’s operation.”

“Understood!”

“Start the operation now, and keep in contact at all times.”

“Received!”

After hanging up the video call, Lin Yi lit a cigarette and paced back and forth in the room, still pondering over the situation in Shianggang.

The information provided to him was scant, leaving him unsettled by the unclear details.

Thus, he spent the day constantly on the phone, amidst endless anxiety.

It wasn’t until he went to pick up Ji Qingyan in the evening that he got a chance to get some air.

“Coming to my place tonight?” Lin Yi asked Ji Qingyan.

“Let’s go to my house, my mom has already prepared dinner.”

“Sounds good, a free meal is a free meal.”

Driving the car, Lin Yi took Ji Qingyan back home.

The usual evening dinner routine was as tranquil and cozy as always.

After dinner, Lin Yi subtly watched a live stream with Ji Antai; what to say and what not to say, it was quite thrilling.

However, Lin Yi kept an eye on Shianggang as well.

So far, no missteps had been spotted, and Hongmen hadn’t made any obvious mistakes.

It was as still as dead water.

“Do you two have anything planned for Saturday?” Song Lan asked before bed.
