I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week-Chapter 2446 - 2447: Beating Your Family’s Child

On the ground, Lin Yi saw something the size of a soybean.

At first, Lin Yi thought it was just a pebble and didn’t think much of it.

But just as he was about to leave, something occurred to him, and he picked up the small object from the ground, which was dark red all over and looked somewhat familiar.

Lin Yi didn’t think too much and immediately put the small object into his pocket, then went to the other rooms.

About fifteen minutes later, Lin Yi quietly slipped out of the house.

Standing outside the courtyard wall, he watched the occasional vehicle pass by on the road.

Lin Yi felt as though he had escaped from old times, and even the air seemed fresher.

He hailed a taxi and returned to the downtown area of Jinling City.

But his mind was full of images of the house.

It wasn’t hard to tell from the things inside that it was likely uninhabited, with quite a bit of dust in the corners.

However, the dust wasn’t as much as he had expected.

Compared to the overgrown weeds in the yard, the two didn’t match up.

Suddenly, Lin Yi speculated that someone might have been to the house recently and cleaned up inside.

And the identity of that person was certainly worth pondering.

Because that house didn’t look like someone lived there.

Lin Yi’s expression turned grim; he had a premonition that the person who occasionally came back to clean might very well be the murderer!

But all of this was speculation, and the final conclusions required thorough investigation.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi sent a WeChat video call to Qiu Yuluo.

The background was her office.

"Have you taken care of everything in Jinling?" Qiu Yuluo asked after the video connected.

Lin Yi nodded, "I’ve made some new discoveries and need your help with something."

"Sure, tell me."

"I’ll send you an address later; help me check who owns that house and the transaction date, and if you can find the transaction amount, that would be best."

"No problem, leave it to me," Qiu Yuluo said breezily.

This kind of task was a piece of cake for her.

After hanging up, Lin Yi sent the address of the house to Qiu Yuluo; the rest was up to her.

By the time Lin Yi returned to Jinling, it was already past six in the evening, then he initiated a video call to Ji Qingyan.

"How is the case in Jinling coming along?"

The background showed the living room at home, where a family of three were having dinner.

"I’ve made some new discoveries; it might take another two or three days to return," Lin Yi said with a smile:

"How about you, feeling any discomfort?"

"I’m eating and drinking well, put on quite a few pounds," Song Lan chimed in from the side.

"Who’s been eating and drinking well..."

Ji Qingyan rolled her beautiful eyes, "I’ve only gained six pounds."

"Six pounds is still a lot," Song Lan said disdainfully:

"When my grandson is born, if his weight isn’t up to standard, I’ll see how I deal with you."

Ji Qingyan pouted and made a funny face, "It’s not my fault if he’s not up to standard, blame your son-in-law." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"What do I need him for," Song Lan said:

"If crops don’t grow well in the field, it’s the soil’s problem, not the seed’s."

Ji Qingyan: ...

"Lin Yi! Look at my mom."

"Uh... Mom is not wrong."

Ji Qingyan glared with a pair of beautiful eyes, "What do you mean by that? You’re throwing me under the bus and not speaking up for me, right?"

"I’m siding with reason rather than relations, we must strive for fairness and justice."

"No, you have to take my side," Ji Qingyan said, holding her head high and gesturing with her little fists:

"Otherwise, I’ll beat up your kid."

"You wouldn’t dare!"

Song Lan was unwilling to let it go, "You dare hit my grandson, I’ll deal with you."

"Lin Yi!" Ji Qingyan stamped her foot in frustration.

"Well, I have other matters to attend to, gotta hang up first."

Family disputes are hard for an outsider to settle, Lin Yi simply hung up the call to avoid further trouble.

After hanging up with Ji Qingyan, Lin Yi sent a video call to Liang Ruoxu, chatting about trivial matters of life.

Then came Li Chuhan and Wang Ying, with the timing arranged very sensibly, no one was left out.

Checking the time, it was already past seven in the evening, Lin Yi called Yan Ci.

"Are you finished with your work?" Yan Ci asked upon receiving Lin Yi’s call.

"Just finished with my tasks, back in Jinling now. Have you wrapped up your work there yet?"

"Not yet." Yan Ci said:

"It might be after ten before I can get back. Go ahead and eat, if you’re tired, just sleep first, no need to wait for me."

"That won’t do, where are you? I’ll come over and keep you company."

"Hehe, really?"

Naturally, Yan Ci wished that Lin Yi could spend more time with her.

It was just that, due to their respective statuses, she dared not make such requests too often.

"What’s with the real or fake?" Lin Yi asked with a smile:

"Where are you at?"

"We’re over here by the Confucius Temple, I’ll send you the address later, the taxi driver will know the way."

"Alright, wait for me."

After hanging up, Lin Yi went out to buy some street snacks, preparing to take them to Yan Ci.

...

By the banks of the Qinhuai River near the Confucius Temple.

Yan Ci stood not far away, looking at the film crew that was starting their work, expressionless.

The officials only gave her three days. If this part of the filming wasn’t completed, it would cause delays in the schedule; time had to be fought for.

"President Yan."

Just as Yan Ci was intently watching, a middle-aged man came over, smiling and greeting her.

The man wasn’t very tall, about 1.7 meters, with a bit of a beer belly.

His name was Feng Jianhui, boss of a local film and television company, and also an investor for Yan Ci’s film.

"CEO Feng."

Seeing the middle-aged man approaching, Yan Ci nodded in greeting.

"Everything is settled, why are you still here?"

While speaking, Feng Jianhui glanced at his watch, "I’ve booked a place, let’s have dinner together."

A look of disgust, even impatience, appeared on Yan Ci’s face.

She had already rejected him many times, why couldn’t he take a hint?

"I’m sorry CEO Feng, I have other matters later on, I probably can’t make it today, let’s reschedule for another day."

"Another day?" Feng Jianhui’s expression shifted:

"President Yan, I’ve invited you many times before, and each time you say this, is it that you look down upon Feng Jianhui?"

"Don’t say that, I truly do have pressing matters." Yan Ci showed a professional smile and brushed her hair aside as she spoke:

"How about this, once I am done here, I’ll take you out for a meal to make amends."

Feng Jianhui’s expression didn’t improve a bit.

"I may not be available in the future."

"This..." Yan Ci paused and felt even more disgusted inside.

But as the investor, she had to play by the rules of the game.

"No problem, when you’re not busy, I’ll specially come to Jinling to treat you to a meal. We’re all part of the same circle; we should interact more."

"In the future, I might also be unavailable. It depends on whether President Yan is willing to oblige today or not." Feng Jianhui said with a cold face.

Yan Ci was already disinclined towards Feng Jianhui, and now seeing him speak like this, she no longer wanted to maintain superficial harmony.

"That’s truly unfortunate, we’ll have to find another opportunity then."
