I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week-Chapter 2517 - 2518: Deep Affection and Heavy Righteousness
Chapter 2517: Chapter 2518: Deep Affection and Heavy Righteousness
"Separate? What do you mean?"
"You two should leave now."
Lin Yi glanced at Zhang Long, "Your identity isn’t fully exposed. You can go to the embassy or take a plane by yourself. Neither option is too dangerous."
Then Lin Yi turned to Sambalo and said:
"You’re the same. You’ve got a billion dollars in your pocket, enough to live comfortably for the rest of your life. Let’s part ways here and act separately."
"I’m not leaving!" Zhang Long said quietly, his gaze firm and unwavering.
"Not leaving?"
Lin Yi chuckled and said, "You want to stay here and celebrate the New Year with me?"
"I’m not leaving until you’re completely out of danger."
"This isn’t the time for stubbornness. You have to go. In a few days, we’ll meet in China."
"At this point, I can’t let you pave the way for me anymore." Zhang Long grabbed a piece of bread and started eating it in big bites:
"Until you’re out of here, there’s no way I’m leaving. Unless you shoot me dead."
"I’m not leaving either."
"Hmm?"
Lin Yi turned to Sambalo, "You want to stay here too?"
"You’re a pretty good person. I think I can consider you a friend." Sambalo shrugged and said:
"These past few days, I’ve been listening to you guys talk about China. Although I haven’t been there before, it sounds like it must be a good place. So I’ve decided that once the danger is over, I’ll move to China. There’s no safer place in the world."
"Don’t say that. Someone like you? We in China might not dare to accept," Lin Yi joked.
"I’ve already said, I’ll be a good person," Sambalo replied.
"But you should know, if you have enough money, life abroad can be quite carefree," Zhang Long said.
"But I value safety," Sambalo shrugged again and said:
"Even without this incident, I’ve been planning to retire in China."
"Why? Are you worried about someone hunting you down?"
"Not really. My mother’s a Huaxia. I want to bring her back and take care of her properly."
Lin Yi and Zhang Long were both a little surprised. No one had expected that this big guy was actually mixed-race.
"Give me your contact information. I’ll arrange to have your mother brought over."
Sambalo looked at Lin Yi in surprise, "You want to bring my mother over?"
"I’ve got some connections back in China. Arranging this isn’t a big problem."
"Thank you, my friend from China." Sambalo said sincerely, looking at Lin Yi:
"It’s been a long time since anyone has said something like that to me."
"Stop being sentimental and give me the contact info quickly."
"No, no, no, even if I tell you, she won’t leave with you," Sambalo said:
"She’s pretty cautious. Unless I go myself, no one can convince her to leave."
"Alright then," Lin Yi said:
"Once everything’s over, you go get her, and I’ll help with the other arrangements."
"Great, I want to buy a big villa in China and spend the rest of my life there. I’ve been waiting for a life like that for a long time."
"Sure, how do you want to handle the loan? How much will you pay upfront? Do you want equal principal and interest payments or just equal principal?"
"Wait a second," Sambalo stopped Lin Yi, "I’m already rich, so why would I need a loan?"
"Because buying a big villa? Your money doesn’t seem to be enough, haha..."
Lin Yi and Zhang Long burst into laughter. Teasing Sambalo was their daily source of joy.
"My goodness, your houses in China are too expensive. I might have to pick a smaller one instead."
"Alright, don’t worry about this kind of stuff," Lin Yi patted Sambalo on the shoulder, "I’ll sort it out for you after this."
"Thank you. Let’s have a good drink together afterward."
"I’ll slaughter a lamb for you. My roast lamb skills aren’t bad," Zhang Long added.
"It’s a deal," Sambalo said, extending his fist. Zhang Long bumped fists with him and said, "Deal."
"What are you two up to?" Lin Yi said with an amused but exasperated expression.
"We’re just trying to make sure you get out of here first," Sambalo said:
"We already know your plan. After you’ve gotten away, the two of us will figure out how to leave. It shouldn’t be dangerous."
"But I still have..."
"No, you don’t need to say anything else," Sambalo interrupted Lin Yi and said:
"We’ve already made up our minds. No matter what you say, it won’t change anything. If you’re planning to act tonight, I’ll start driving right now. Otherwise, let’s find somewhere to sleep; I haven’t slept in two days and nights."
Looking at their expressions, Lin Yi sighed helplessly.
He couldn’t deny feeling touched, especially by Sambalo, that goofy guy.
Though his brain wasn’t the sharpest, he was certainly loyal to a fault.
They were already at this point, and he still insisted on accompanying Lin Yi. Truly a mystery.
Lin Yi glanced at his watch, "It’s 11 p.m. now. There’s still some beer in the car. Let’s drink it all, then we’ll head out."
"Alright, I’m already feeling a bit impatient."
The three of them opened the beers and clinked bottles.
Gulping down beer, bottle after bottle, they drank heartily.
About half an hour later, they’d finished the seven or eight bottles of beer in the car.
The trio gathered their belongings, checked their gear, and headed toward Lin Yi’s destination.
A little past 1 a.m., they arrived at a spot about 500 meters from the base.
The area was overgrown with wild grass and vast emptiness stretched around it. Going any closer could easily lead to detection.
"The guards around here are pretty tight. Are you sure you can sneak in?" Sambalo asked:
"Shouldn’t be a problem."
"But I’m afraid you’ll get electrocuted," Sambalo pointed to the high walls in the distance and said:
"There’s an electric fence up there. Jumping over it isn’t really an option."
"Since we’re here, sneaking around would be boring. I’m going through the front gate."
"The front gate?" Sambalo looked at Lin Yi, "Are you crazy? Don’t you know how dangerous that is?"
"I’ve already told you, the most dangerous place is the safest."
"To capture us, they’ve deployed most of their manpower. Even at night, people are coming and going. This will give me the opportunity I need," Lin Yi explained:
"Like you said, if I try to climb the wall, I might get electrocuted."
"You really are insane. I can’t understand your actions."
Lin Yi laughed and clapped him on the shoulder.
"Once you get to China, stick with me. I guarantee you’ll broaden your horizons."
"Sure, but I’d rather drink with you guys. Then you can roast me a lamb. After that, I’ll enjoy the good life. If I find myself a wife from China, then my life will be perfect. Maybe even God would envy me."
"Congratulations on finding your own narrow gate."
