I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2711: Chapter 2712: Long Talk

“Ah?! William is dead.”

Lin Yi was surprised for quite a while, this news was absolutely unexpected for him.

Even Chen Shengli felt it unbelievable.

“The news is completely true; I heard he died at home from gas poisoning. I guess it won’t be long before there’s a report from Country M.” Xiao Bing said:

“But William doesn’t have much reputation in the capital circle of Country M, so it shouldn’t attract much attention.”

“But the problem is he’s dead; this matter is very strange.” Lin Yi’s face was gloomy, whispering:

“I can’t quite accept that he died accidentally; it’s too coincidental.”

Lin Yi fell into silence.

This matter made him feel something was amiss.

He was ninety percent sure that William’s death was a conspiracy.

Because the timing of William’s death coincidentally aligned with when he got the Yin Pole statue.

For this reason, the matter was shrouded in a layer of shadow.

He always thought William was the instigator behind these events.

Everything proceeded under his arrangement.

But now, he suddenly died without explanation; this was enough to indicate that someone else was manipulating the matter from behind.

If that’s true, then who is controlling William from behind?

“Lin Bro, during the previous investigation, we found they have contacts with the official Degeradlon Laboratory. Could it be that official people are manipulating this matter?”

“That’s very likely.” Lin Yi murmured:

“But there’s another curious point in this affair.”

Chen Shengli and Xiao Bing both looked at Lin Yi, waiting for him to continue.

“Before this, William twice attempted to obtain the Anode Statue but failed both times, yet things remained peaceful. But now, after the Yin Pole statue was lost, such an incident occurred. Doesn’t this somehow indicate that, for them, the Yin Pole statue is more important than the Anode one?”

This question caught Chen Shengli’s attention.

“The Yin Pole statue has the ability to accelerate life and death; economically, I see no value, but in scientific research, its value might surpass the Anode statue.”

“If this assumption is correct, then the person controlling the entire affair from behind could be an official person.” Lin Yi said.

“But…”

Xiao Bing paused and said:

“If that’s the case, why put William on the surface? Even if they don’t want to expose their identity, they could support a puppet secretly. But now, all of William’s actions were organized by himself without any trace of official influence, which invisibly increases risk.”

Chen Shengli nodded, agreeing with Xiao Bing’s analysis.

“If they deploy official personnel for this matter, we won’t stand a chance.”

“That’s also what I’ve been puzzled about.” Lin Yi said:

“Keep an eye on this matter recently and see if there are any new developments.”

“Understood.”

After giving the next instructions, Xiao Bing left.

Lin Yi chatted a bit more with Chen Shengli and then left the Central Guard Brigade.

He originally thought the matter with the statues would end here, but all the related chain reactions might be deeper than imagined.

For now, however, this matter is considered settled.

Even if they want to make further moves, it’s already impossible.

Leaving the Central Guard Brigade, Lin Yi didn’t return to the Liang family but went to Liang Xianghe’s place.

But before going, he bought something to avoid being criticized.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, Lin Yi saw Liang Xianghe drinking tea and enjoying the sun.

Just like a retired old man with nothing to do.

“Rare that you come by yourself and still know to buy things.”

“After so many times, I should learn from mistakes to avoid you cursing me for being inconsiderate.”

“If I weren’t too old, I’d really want to give you a kick.” Liang Xianghe said, “I don’t need that little stuff from you.”

“Haha…”

Lin Yi poured Liang Xianghe a cup of tea, “Have some tea, calm down; you’re quite old, yet your temper is still so fiery.”

“Only you dare to talk to me like this.”

Liang Xianghe took a sip of tea and said:

“I heard you sorted out Wang Ming?”

“Don’t mention it; they didn’t even give me a chance.” Lin Yi said:

“This person is not simple; his talent may not match Wang Mian, but his shrewdness and scheming cannot be ignored.”

“If he didn’t have that, the Wang family wouldn’t have pushed him to the surface.”

Lin Yi nodded, “But him being in charge of the Saber-toothed Tiger, I don’t believe he’s an ordinary person.”

Liang Xianghe looked at Lin Yi with interest:

“What level do you think he should be?”

“At worst, he should be a level D.” Lin Yi said:

“Reaching this level, you’d definitely need some skills.”

“Sharp guess,” Liang Xianghe smiled and said.

“Though, for his age reaching level D, while not as gifted as Wang Mian, it’s not bad either. The Wang family wouldn’t tuck away someone like that.”

After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Yi said:

“With the Wang family’s capability, cultivating on dual lines shouldn’t be difficult.”

“That’s where the problem lies.” Liang Xianghe said:

“Wang Ming indeed is a shrewd person, but his talent can only be considered average, even worse than some of your team members.”

“Then why would the Wang family…” Lin Yi paused, “Could it be they’re out of options?”

“Not necessarily.” Liang Xianghe took a sip of tea, “Guess again.”

“Average talent…”

Lin Yi muttered to himself, contemplating for quite a while, suddenly his expression changed.

“Could it be… the gene serum?”

“It’s easy to chat with you, just catch on quickly.”

“The Wang family really hit rock bottom, resorting to such methods.” Lin Yi sighed.

“Someone like Wang Mian isn’t just cultivated casually, killing him was a major blow to the Wang family.”

Lin Yi nodded, agreeing with Liang Xianghe’s viewpoint, pondered for a few seconds, and asked:

“Does the Wang family have any prospects for the future?”

“The future focus is on the Saber-toothed Tiger.” Liang Xianghe said:

“Seeing their stance, they’re preparing to establish an organization capable of rivaling the Central Guard Brigade, to fundamentally shake my control.”

“Ha… If that’s really their thought, they’re quite naive.”

Lin Yi sneered, “As long as I’m here, they won’t have a chance.”

Liang Xianghe also smiled, not taking Wang Ming’s Saber-toothed Tiger seriously.

“For now, the Saber-toothed Tiger indeed poses no threat, but their future target is surely you, stay alert.” Liang Xianghe said:

“I’ve lived for so long, once I’m gone, you and the Liang family will be in a fully disadvantaged position, and you should understand the consequences.”
