I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week-Chapter 2336 - 2337: Do you think I would be afraid of him?

Chapter 2336: Chapter 2337: Do you think I would be afraid of him?

A chill swept over the Pan Family like ice water poured over their heads, leaving them utterly helpless and clueless about what to do next.

Instinctively, they all turned their eyes towards Pan Chunwei.

At this moment, he was their only hope.

“I’m Pan Chunwei, I’ve devoted most of my life to the country, is this really how I’m going to end up?” he questioned.

“You might be misunderstanding something,” the leader of the group spoke:

“Mr. Lin Yi didn’t know we were coming, nor did he call us for help. But with his own abilities, nobody in Jinyang can hold him back.”

“If that’s the case, why would he do all this?”

“I don’t know about that, but I can tell you that neither the personal connections nor the financial power of your Pan Family can match up to his, so there’s no hope for you.”

The leader shrugged his shoulders then glanced at his watch, “Elder Pan, it’s about time. Come with us.”

Pan Chunwei, clenched tightly onto his walking canes.

“Could you give me a little more time? I’d like to make a phone call.”

The leader frowned slightly, “Old man, I’m only speaking to you this much because of your past merits. Don’t make this harder for me, I’m also on a mission here.”

“It’s just a few more minutes, that won’t hurt, right?” Pan Chunwei murmured.

“Fine, since Elder Pan has requested, I must give this face. Ten minutes, is that enough?”

Pan Chunwei didn’t respond but took out his phone and dialed Liang Xianghe’s number.

He was his last hope.

After several pulses of a busy tone, the call connected.

“Old Pan.”

“Old leader, are you busy?” Pan Chunwei said cheerfully.

Compared to before, he seemed like a different person, calm and collected as if nothing had happened.

“I just got home from a meeting.”

“After all these years, you’re still concerned about these things,” Pan Chunwei remarked:

“I wonder when you’ll retire. It’s been a long time since we last played chess and had tea together.”

“Ha ha…” Liang Xianghe laughed, “Now I only handle minor details; important matters don’t come to me. I can hardly interfere in many issues.”

Pan Chunwei’s expression twitched slightly, a bad premonition spreading in his heart.

“Old leader, I’ve been quite free these past days, and with the Lunar New Year approaching, I thought I’d visit you. When will you have time?”

“I’m a bit busy before the New Year, let’s talk after,” Liang Xianghe replied:

“Also, you suddenly wanting to visit, is there something you need?”

“No, no, it’s just been a long time since we met. I wanted to see you, catch up on old times.”

“Don’t be so secretive, just say what you need to say.”

“Old leader, then I’ll just speak frankly.” Pan Chunwei knew his time was short, and if he kept things hidden, he wouldn’t be able to resolve the issue.

Over the next few minutes, Pan Chunwei recounted the events of the past few days truthfully to Liang Xianghe.

But instead of a reply, what Pan Chunwei got was a prolonged silence.

“Old leader?”

“I’m listening,” Liang Xianghe said flatly:

“I remember, your family had a mine back then, where over fifty people died due to illegal mining, and I helped you suppress the matter. It’s been about ten years now, hasn’t it?”

“Yes, yes…”

“So many years have passed, your Pan Family has made enough. This China belongs to the people of China, to the people of Jinyang, not to the Pan Family.”

At Liang Xianghe’s words, Pan Chunwei shook uncontrollably, trembling violently.

“Are you afraid of that man named Lin Yi as well…”

“Ha ha…”

Liang Xianghe laughed heartily, “Lin Yi, that kid, I personally groomed him. Do you think I’d be afraid of him?”

“This…”

This time, Pan Chunwei was truly dumbstruck. His canes fell to the floor, and he nearly couldn’t hold onto his phone.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore,” Liang Xianghe continued:

“The investigators should have arrived in Jinyang by now. Cooperate with them well; things aren’t so dire.”

“I, I understand…”

Liang Xianghe ended the call, leaving Pan Chunwei pale-faced, as if mourning the dead.

“Grandpa…”

“The Pan Family is finished…”

…

Inside the detention center, Lin Yi lay sprawled on a communal bed, catching up on sleep.

Having drunk until late last night, he had been caught before making it back to the hotel. Now, Lin Yi slept without a care.

In a corner, six men stood trembling, all bruised and battered, not daring to breathe heavily.

They were all inmates here, and when Lin Yi had been locked up with them, intending to teach him a lesson and show him the rules, the result was clear for all—within a minute, they were sent to stand by the wall.

“Mao Bro, what do we do now? This kid’s a tough one, with him here, we have lost our standing,” a bald man said.

“Right, right, he’s so strong, we couldn’t even fight back. Will he bully us to death?” another short man asked.

The man they called Mao Bro, named Du Baolong, was stout with a thick beard—hence his nickname.

“Let’s wait a bit. I’ll talk to the warden and see if we can teach him a lesson to keep him in line.”

“Can’t we just transfer him out? I really don’t want to stay with someone like that.”

“Even if we drive him out, we need to teach him a lesson first, otherwise, we just got beaten for nothing.”

“Mao Bro is right.”

At that moment, footsteps echoed from the hallway, and the bald man peeked out his head.

“Mao Bro, Mao Bro, the warden’s coming, and he’s got quite a few people with him, looks like big shots.”

“Let me see.”

Du Baolong went to the door, pressed his face against the bars, and looked out.

“Damn, these are important people, stand straight and don’t make trouble.”

The six men who had been beaten lined up like kindergarten kids—an unwritten rule in the detention center.

“Mao Bro, should we call that guy?” the short man asked.

“Why would you call him? Are you dumb?” Du Baolong responded:

“When the warden comes and sees him still lying there sleeping, he’ll take care of him himself, no need for us to lift a finger.”

Hearing this, the others suddenly understood.

“Mao Bro is clever, always thinking ahead of us.”

“And listen, when the warden asks about our bruises, just tell the truth and say it was him who did it. Leave the rest to them to handle.”

“Wow, Mao Bro, using others to do your dirty work, you really are amazing.”
