I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2074: Acting Alone
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“The informant mentioned that Wei Jianlong has sent his two trusted subordinates on other tasks, and he’s very invested in this shipment. To prevent any betrayal, he plans to personally lead the operation.”

“He’s really cautious,” Lin Yi remarked. “Have you pinpointed the exact location?”

“It’s in a small fishing village, about twenty kilometers from Tianjin Port. If you set up an ambush there in advance, it shouldn’t be a problem. The specific time for the transaction is 2 AM, and around 3 AM their boat will return. That’s the best time to capture Wei Jianlong.”

Lin Yi checked his watch. “The timing seems right. If we start now, we’ll be just in time.”

“What about the people you brought with you? Shouldn’t you notify them?”

“I don’t think it’s necessary. Too many people would just get in the way. I’ll go alone and keep it clean.”

“Then I’ll go with you. I’ve got nothing better to do anyway,” Ning Che said.

“Alright, you can keep me company on the way.”

Ning Che leaned against the table, playfully hooked a finger under Lin Yi’s chin, and teased,

“Don’t worry, with me around, you won’t feel lonely on the mission.”

Qiu Yuluo rolled her eyes multiple times, feeling that neither of them was being serious.

“Hold on a moment, I’ll get some gear ready for you,” Qiu Yuluo said.

“People like them are armed. If it’s just the two of you, you’ll be at a disadvantage. A round of concentrated fire would be hard to handle.”

“We’ll leave it to you then.”

About half an hour later, Qiu Yuluo prepared what they needed for the mission.

It was just a suitcase about half a meter in size.

For them, it was more than enough.

After finalizing their plan, Lin Yi and Ning Che quickly gathered their things and left the Central Guards Brigade base, heading towards Tianjin.

…

Meanwhile, back at the guesthouse, Li Xianghui and his group gathered together. The team from the Songjiang branch wasn’t there.

Everyone’s expressions were grim.

“Brother Li, what did the leaders say?” Gu Yiran asked.

“The brass said to just go with the flow and let Lin Yi handle things as he sees fit.”

“What?!”

The people from the Xinshan branch were taken aback.

“Are you serious? Someone as steady as Boss Liu is letting us go with the flow and allowing Lin Yi to mess around?”

“That’s not what he said. It’s what the higher-ups decided.”

“The higher-ups?”

“Yes, after I reported the situation here, he called the higher-ups. This was their directive.”

No one spoke after that. They couldn’t understand why things were being handled this way.

“It feels like they’re treating this operation as a joke,” Zhang Hui said.

“No kidding. It’s not like they assigned any special tasks. Their attitude is completely different from similar cases in the past.”

“Maybe they think that since Lin Yi managed to capture Bai Yongshou quietly, he can handle Wei Jianlong too?” Gu Yiran suggested.

“Maybe.” Li Xianghui lit a cigarette and leaned back against the bed.

“So are we just going to sit here and do nothing?” Zhu Junzhi asked.

“I saw the Songjiang team heading downstairs just now. It looks like they’re about to take action.”

“I know Ling Han a bit. She definitely wouldn’t choose to handle this mission in such a careless way,” Li Xianghui said.

“She’s probably already gathered information on Wei Jianlong and is getting ready to move. But this is no longer our concern. We don’t have enough information to act in time.”

“So, what do we do? Just wait in the guesthouse?”

“Going out for a walk wouldn’t hurt.”

It seemed Li Xianghui had given up trying too hard, and with a sigh, he said,

“Lin Yi did tell us to go sightseeing, and since there’s nothing else to do, we might as well take a break.”

“Let’s go then. I’m dying of boredom,” someone replied.

…

At the same time, Ling Han had already set off for Tianjin with the Songjiang team, along with Zhang Yuling and a few of her colleagues.

“Little Han, are you sure we can handle this on our own?” Zhang Yuling asked.

“We all came here together, and the team leader is from the Xinshan branch. Now that you’re sidelining them, won’t the leadership have something to say when we return?”

“I’ve already reported this to our leadership, and they agreed with my approach, so there’s no need to worry,” Ling Han said calmly as she tucked her hair into her hat.

“Besides, the process doesn’t matter as long as we capture Wei Jianlong.”

“That’s good to hear,” Zhang Yuling said.

“According to the intel, there’s a large transaction happening tonight, and it’s supposed to take place on the high seas. If we stake out in advance, capturing Wei Jianlong shouldn’t be too difficult.”

However, compared to the intel capabilities of Qiu Yuluo, Zhang Yuling still had a long way to go.

She only found out that Wei Jianlong would be conducting a transaction at sea but didn’t know who the actual participants on the boat were.

On the other hand, Qiu Yuluo had everything figured out, including that Wei Jianlong would be in the fishing village coordinating with his subordinates. The difference in capability between the two sides was stark.

“Looks like we’re in for a tough battle tonight. I’d better get my gear ready,” Zhao Su said.

“Everyone, don’t be too tense. It’s not that big of a deal,” Ling Han reassured the group. “The more nervous you are, the more likely something will go wrong.”

Zhao Su laughed as he leaned back in his chair. “I can’t speak for others, but I’m not worried at all. With Big Sister Ling leading the mission, no matter who it is, they’ll all be caught in the end.”

“True, your captain’s skills are impressive. Even though Wei Jianlong is ruthless and has many men under him, he probably won’t stand a chance against your team.”

“So, this time, we’re sure to succeed!”

“But I’m curious—your Team Leader Lin was so confident that he could handle this, yet he’s off fooling around with another woman as soon as he arrived in Yanjing. How does he plan to get the job done? Isn’t he worried about getting reprimanded by the higher-ups?” Zhang Yuling asked.

“That’s not something I’m concerned about, but this could be a good opportunity to let the higher-ups see what kind of person he really is so that they don’t get misled in the future,” Ling Han replied.

“But don’t you think he’s a bit overly confident?” Zhang Yuling continued.

“At first, I had a good impression of him, but now, not so much. He seems a bit arrogant.”

“You’re spot on,” Zhao Su said. “In my opinion, someone like him really isn’t cut out for the police force.”

“Alright, let’s stop talking about him and focus on planning our operation. Let’s make sure we complete this mission smoothly.”

“No problem.”
