I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2046: Sorry, I’m a Police Officer
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this moment, receiving a call from Bai Yongshou was indeed unexpected for Lin Yi.

He had been worrying about how to track him down, and here Bai Yongshou was, delivering himself right into Lin Yi’s hands.

It was as if he had teleported straight into trouble.

“Why are you calling me?”

“Master Lin, it’s like this. A few days ago, we had some unpleasantness, and you were gracious enough to let our people go, so I wanted to call and thank you.”

Lin Yi paused for a second before replying indifferently,

“You called me just for that?”

“Well…” Bai Yongshou hesitated before continuing.

“Master Lin, I’ve recently run into some trouble and was hoping you could help me. But don’t worry, I wouldn’t ask you to help for free. If you’re willing to assist me, I, Bai Yongshou, will repay you handsomely in the future.”

“What kind of help do you need? Just say it.”

“The police are already on my tail. I heard from Master Wei that you have significant influence in Zhonghai, so I was hoping you could help me smooth things over,” Bai Yongshou explained.

“As I said before, if you help me with this, I’m willing to spend everything I have to repay you.”

Bai Yongshou knew that he was in deep trouble this time, and if spending his entire fortune could save his life, it would be worth it.

As long as he could get through this storm, he could always make a comeback in the future.

“No big deal,” Lin Yi replied. “Where are you now? I’ll come to find you.”

“Master Lin, are you coming to find me?”

“Your situation is too sensitive. If you show your face, you’ll be caught immediately. If I don’t come to get you, no one else can safely bring you back.”

“Alright, thank you, Master Lin! I’m in Yaojia Village, right on the border between Zhonghai and Yuhang.”

Bai Yongshou didn’t think much of it. He simply assumed that Lin Yi was coming to help him lay low until the situation blew over and then bring him back.

“Got it.”

With that, Lin Yi hung up the phone and continued brushing his teeth.

The reason he wanted to go personally was to earn some credit for Liu Guangxian, who had been kind to him. It was important to reciprocate.

After getting ready, Lin Yi grabbed the keys to his Land Cruiser, set the GPS to Yaojia Village, and headed out.

…

Near a cornfield in Yaojia Village, Bai Yongshou and Wang Shuguang kept looking around, anxiously waiting for Lin Yi to arrive.

“Boss Bai, it’s been over two hours. Why isn’t Master Lin here yet? Do you think something went wrong?”

“No, someone like Master Lin is fundamentally different from Wei Yihua,” Bai Yongshou reassured him.

“He’s a businessman at heart and acts based on interests. Once a deal is made, he won’t go back on his word. We just need to wait.”

“Right.”

Ring ring ring!

Soon, Bai Yongshou’s phone rang. “Master Lin is calling.”

Excited, Bai Yongshou quickly answered the call, not wanting to waste a single second.

To him, Lin Yi was his savior.

“Master Lin, have you arrived?”

“Yes, where are you?”

“We’re just by the cornfield on the east side of the village. If you drive over, you’ll see us.”

“Okay, wait there for me.”

After hanging up, Bai Yongshou felt a surge of relief.

In his mind, Lin Yi’s arrival meant his safety was assured.

Even if he lost everything, as long as he could survive, he believed he could make a comeback in a few years.

Soon, Wang Shuguang heard the sound of an engine approaching. He quickly rushed out.

“Master Lin is here!”

The two of them stood by the roadside, spotting a white Land Cruiser coming their way.

Lin Yi, seeing them, pulled over to the side of the road.

“Master Lin, you’re finally here.” Bai Yongshou gripped Lin Yi’s hand tightly, as if he were holding onto his lifeline.

“Why are there only the two of you? Where are the others?”

“Don’t even mention it,” Bai Yongshou sighed.

“The police crackdown was intense this time. Of my close confidants, only Shuguang and I managed to escape. The rest scattered, and I have no idea where they are.”

Lin Yi nodded and said,

“Since the others have been caught, there’s no point in you two wandering around outside. Come with me.”

Bai Yongshou exhaled deeply in relief, clasping his hands together in gratitude.

“Thank you, Master Lin, for saving us. I owe you a debt of gratitude that words cannot express. If there’s ever anything I can do for you in the future, I’ll be at your service.”

“There’s no need to think about repaying me. You should start considering how you’ll spend the rest of your lives in prison.”

Hearing this, both Bai Yongshou and Wang Shuguang stiffened, instinctively stepping back and eyeing Lin Yi warily.

Lin Yi did not explain too much and took out his ID from his pocket.

“Sorry, I’m a police officer.”

“You…!”

Seeing Lin Yi’s badge, both men’s minds went blank as if their brains had short-circuited.

He was none other than the infamous Master Lin, the man Wei Yihua described as having unmatched influence in Zhonghai!

How could he possibly be a cop?

It didn’t make any sense!

But the reality in front of them left no room for further speculation.

He wasn’t here to help them. They needed to find a way out, fast!

With that thought, Bai Yongshou quickly drew a gun from his waistband and pointed it at Lin Yi’s head.

“Master Lin, I’ve always respected you, but I never thought you’d do something like this. However, if you let me go, I’ll pretend none of this ever happened. Otherwise, we’ll die together. At this point, I’ve got nothing left to lose!”

“You think you can threaten me with a lousy gun?” Lin Yi sneered.

“If I couldn’t handle you two, I wouldn’t deserve the title of Master Lin.”

“If you won’t agree, don’t blame me for what happens next. You brought this on yourself!”

Bai Yongshou’s face twisted with malice.

He was already a ruthless person, and now, cornered, he wasn’t going to hold back.

Bang!

Without hesitation, Bai Yongshou pulled the trigger, the scorching bullet blasting out of the chamber, heading straight for Lin Yi’s forehead!

But for Lin Yi, an ordinary handgun was no longer a threat.

In the 0.1 seconds before Bai Yongshou pulled the trigger, Lin Yi tilted his head at an almost perfect angle, narrowly dodging the bullet.

As the gunshot rang out and then faded, both Bai Yongshou and Wang Shuguang began to tremble.

What they had just witnessed seemed like a hallucination.

“You… you dodged the bullet!”
