I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3765: Chapter 3756: Lin Yi’s Bait

Lin Yi didn’t rush to speak, but remained silent for a while.

”This matter has nothing to do with the people in Group One, there’s no need to involve them.”

”Team Leader Lin, mind your words, this isn’t about involving anyone, it’s a routine investigation, don’t misunderstand my intent.”

”The cameras are off, it’s pointless to discuss further,” Lin Yi said, stretching his body:

”You all just want the Sheepskin Scroll, right? I can give you the Sheepskin Scroll from the Yucatán Peninsula for your research. Of course, if you don’t want to make this deal, we can keep dragging this out. I don’t mind, and there’s nothing you can do to me.”

After speaking, Lin Yi closed his eyes to rest. If Chen Fuxian agreed, they’d continue talking; if not, they’d keep arguing—it wasn’t as if he could do anything to Lin Yi anyway.

Chen Fuxian didn’t rush to speak, seemingly contemplating Lin Yi’s terms as well.

The two remained in a deadlock like this.

For over a minute, neither spoke.

”The Sheepskin Scroll from the Yucatán Peninsula has already been thoroughly researched; there’s no point in giving it to us again.”

”Thoroughly researched? How do you know it’s thoroughly researched? Do you have someone planted in the Central Guards Brigade?”

Lin Yi’s retort made Chen Fuxian’s expression turn serious again.

Dealing with clever people is tiring—one misstep and you could get looped in.

”Talking like this is pointless, Team Leader Lin; you said you wanted to be frank, there’s no need to beat around the bush.”

”I just want to tell you, don’t speak carelessly about things you don’t know.”

Lin Yi calmly said, ”The Sheepskin Scroll from the Yucatán Peninsula is still under research. There’s just a new research task now, so its study has been put on hold. Whether you want it or not is up to you.”

Lin Yi continued to rest his eyes.

He’s still in control, so he’s not in a hurry and can keep this stalemate going with them.

Chen Fuxian remained silent, turned, and walked out.

Seeing Chen Fuxian leave, Lin Yi knew what he was up to.

This wasn’t something he could decide on his own; after all, he doesn’t understand Dragon Eagle’s operations and can’t make decisions arbitrarily. He was likely calling Chen Chaochun or Chen Zhengnan.

Lin Yi wasn’t in a hurry, leisurely waiting.

Outside the interrogation room, Chen Fuxian found a secluded spot and called Chen Chaochun.

”Dad, he’s compromised and decided to use the Sheepskin Scroll in exchange for the safety of the people in Group One.”

”Only Group One? Did he mention himself?”

”No, he didn’t; he’s clever, didn’t ask for too much, knows what to say and what not to. He just asked us to release the people in Group One,” Chen Fuxian said.

”But they’re using the Sheepskin Scroll from the Yucatán Peninsula for the exchange, not the latest one.”

”That Sheepskin Scroll has been almost fully researched; its trading value isn’t significant.”

”That’s true, but we can’t be sure there’s absolutely no secret left on it,” Chen Fuxian replied:

”Plus, Lin Yi’s attitude is firm, adding his personality into account, it’s unlikely he’d give us the latest Sheepskin Scroll.”

Chen Chaochun on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment.

”Then we should do as he says; retaining the people from Group One serves no purpose, it’s just for show. If we can exchange for something, it’s a gain.”

”I thought the same, so I called to consult with you,” Chen Fuxian said:

”There’s no need to keep Ning Che either; it’s better to release them together. No need to offend the Ning family.”

”Let’s do it as you suggested, and bring that Sheepskin Scroll back as soon as possible.”

”Understood.”

Inside, Lin Yi stood by the window, looking at the scenery outside.

The sun was brilliant, the sky was clear, starkly contrasting his mood.

Meanwhile, the sound of the door opening came from behind, and Chen Fuxian walked in from outside.

”We’ll do as you said, but is this something you can decide on your own?”

”With my influence in the Central Guards Brigade, I can handle something this small,” Lin Yi said:

”You guys can head to the Central Guards Brigade to pick up the stuff this afternoon.”

”Then that’s settled. Today’s inquiry ends here; hopefully, there’s potential for cooperation in the future.”

”You’ll have to work hard; otherwise, we really can’t play together,” Lin Yi left a remark and walked out first.

Chen Fuxian wasn’t angry; instead, he smiled.
