I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2736: Chapter 2737: I Love You

"With so many people pointing guns at your head, do you think you can still get out of here?" Gerard said coldly.

"Facing shameless people like you, indeed I might not be able to get out, so I’ve made preparations as well."

Lin Yi unbuttoned his clothes, revealing explosives wrapped around his body.

"Not only are they on my body, but they’re also in the box. I can’t guarantee I can destroy this building, but as for you people, you probably won’t survive. As for the statues inside, they likely won’t be left behind either."

Gerard’s expression remained unchanged, not surprised.

But the others guarding around were looking at Lin Yi with cautious expressions to prevent anything unexpected from happening.

"Don’t be so nervous." Lin Yi said calmly:

"The switch is on my wrist. If there’s a misfire and you kill me by accident, it’ll detonate on its own."

It wasn’t much of a comfort; now the people around him became even more nervous.

Due to different national circumstances, they had no spirit of sacrifice, simply doing the job for the money.

Faced with dangerous work like this, no one wanted to risk their lives.

Gerard had no expression; he knew he was facing a true desperado.

"I want to see the items."

"No problem."

Lin Yi opened the box; two statues were placed in the center, surrounded by fixed foam.

Morici, holding a portable device, cautiously walked up to Lin Yi and scanned the two statues.

An alarm sounded on it, echoing particularly eerie in the empty hall.

"The items are fine."

Gerard nodded, operating thus just for the sake of caution.

At a moment like this, he didn’t believe Lin Yi would play petty tricks.

"Let’s make the trade now."

"Release the people first. I need to ensure their safety." Lin Yi said in a low voice.

"Impossible!"

Gerard said resolutely:

"You personally bring the statues over; I guarantee on my honor not to make the first move."

"With me, you have no honor to speak of."

"This is the only way to trade." Gerard said:

"Although we want the statues, we won’t let you lead us by the nose. You need to understand our determination."

"No problem."

Lin Yi did not refuse; he knew he had no choice.

Gerard is not a simple character; his position is equal to that of Lu Beichen.

Even if not as strong as Lu Beichen, he can stand on equal footing with Liang Xianghe.

Provoking such a person is not a wise choice.

"Team Leader Lin, you can’t agree to him!"

Someone from group three said, "We’d rather die here than trade your life for ours."

"It’s alright. Trading me for you 18 is worth it."

The members of group three didn’t speak, all looking at Ning Che.

But they found their leader silently shedding tears.

Ning Che knew Lin Yi the best.

She knew that at this point, saying anything was useless.

"Release them."

Gerard gestured to the Ghost Squad members, who released their hold on group three.

This didn’t mean they were out of danger, as countless guns were still pointed at their heads.

Yet Ning Che didn’t care and rushed towards Lin Yi.

Even with injured legs, even with the excruciating pain with every step.

She still used all her strength to hug Lin Yi tightly.

The whole hall echoed with her sobbing.

The people around wanted to make a move but were stopped by Gerard.

In his view, the situation was still under his control, and there was no need to panic.

"Yuluo is outside to receive you guys, leave now." Lin Yi whispered in Ning Che’s ear:

"Don’t be afraid, I won’t die, no one can kill me."

"I’m sorry..."

Ning Che sobbed, unable to stop the tears.

"Don’t say that. I once promised you, even if I were to die, I’d die before you. I don’t want to be an unfaithful scoundrel."

Lin Yi gently stroked Ning Che’s back, "Hurry up and go, otherwise no one will be able to leave later. You know me, now is not the time for this talk."

Lin Yi’s words stopped Ning Che’s tears.

She knew, at this point, being sentimental would only make things worse.

Holding Lin Yi’s face, Ning Che mustered all her strength to give him a kiss.

"I’m going. If you die, I’ll find you on the road to Hell. I love you."

After saying what she wanted, Ning Che stood up, walked outside the hotel with the help of group three members.

During this process, she didn’t look back.

Not because she didn’t want to, she just didn’t dare.

When a few people walked out of the hotel, Qiu Yuluo’s car arrived.

It was a small bus, enough to hold all those people.

After everyone got on the bus, Qiu Yuluo took a deep look at the hotel, crystallized tears falling from the corner of her eye.

Perhaps the most difficult thing in life is not suffering but the choice you cannot resist.

It tortures your heart and torments your spirit.

But a choice still has to be made.

The last step on the accelerator, Qiu Yuluo took Ning Che and others, leaving the blockade.

"You, you should stay..." Ning Che said weakly, "If something happens to him, even if you save me, it’s meaningless..."

"He arranged everything. Staying would just be a hindrance; stop talking, I’m taking you back."

...

"Move!"

Inside the hotel, as Gerard commanded, the Ghost Squad rushed forward, surrounding Lin Yi.

"I’ve released your people according to our agreement, so don’t make a pointless struggle. Hand over the items."

Lin Yi said nothing else, releasing his hold, and Morici took the box.

To be sure, the box was opened and checked again.

Explosives were found in the compartment layer of the box too.

But to Morici, they weren’t an issue.

After taking out the statues, Morici handed them to Gerard.

As for the box, it was given to the other Ghost Squad members to handle the dismantling work.

"Since you chose to trade with me, now you need to cooperate and remove the explosives from your body." Gerard said:

"Of course, you can refuse, but we also have ways to take them off; it’d just waste some time."

"No problem."

Lin Yi agreed readily, without any hesitation.

Seeing Lin Yi starting to take off the explosives, excitement was uncontrollably visible in Gerard’s eyes.

This guy who had shamed him was finally going to be captured by him!

From this moment forward, he would remain the world’s best battlefield commander!

Soon, Lin Yi removed the explosives, which were immediately taken away by the Ghost Squad.

"The people in China, didn’t expect you’d have this day too."

Looking at Morici, Lin Yi smiled and said:

"Being defeated by me time and time again, did you find pleasure in this moment?"
