I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week-Chapter 2502 - 2503: Identity Swap

"Yes," the man in black said:

"The Yamaguchi-gumi is affiliated with the Mitsui Group. Now that Caie Mitsui is in trouble, they’re hardly in a position to protect themselves."

Zaochuan Jitian said nothing, lighting a cigarette in silence.

"The authorities won’t dare do anything to Caie Mitsui," Zaochuan Jitian remarked:

"Those high-and-mighty politicians owe their positions to the support of the Mitsui family. If Caie Mitsui decides to play hardball, they shouldn’t expect things to go well for a single one of them."

The man in black didn’t entirely grasp his meaning.

"If they don’t dare make a move against Caie Mitsui, then what’s the meaning behind this wanted notice...?"

"It might just be temporary."

Zaochuan Jitian raised the photo of Caie Mitsui. "The notice didn’t explicitly mention a warrant against Caie Mitsui. The one they’re truly after is this man."

"So we’re just going to let this go?"

Zaochuan Jitian leaned back in his chair, quietly smoking, falling into silence for over half a minute.

"First, organize some people to launch a tentative attack on the Yamaguchi-gumi. Even though those above us won’t outright fall out with Caie Mitsui, this is still an excellent opportunity that we can exploit."

"Let’s start in Shizuoka Prefecture, then."

Zaochuan Jitian handed over the photo. "Make some copies of these. If they really turn up, we can earn ourselves some goodwill with the authorities. That would be rather advantageous for us."

"Understood!"

The man in black took the photo and walked away.

...

At that moment, Lin Yi and Caie Mitsui were sitting in a car, patiently waiting for the right target to appear.

For Caie Mitsui, being able to sense each other’s heartbeat like this was something she had long dreamed of.

She wished desperately that this moment could last forever.

"Looks like someone’s coming out."

Lin Yi’s words yanked Caie Mitsui back to reality.

She adjusted her posture and glanced at the four people emerging from the back door.

"Judging by appearances, they’re likely from the Ikegawa Association. Coming out at this hour, they’re probably heading for a late-night meal."

Lin Yi checked his watch. "It’s already past 3 a.m., and they’re still out looking for a bite to eat. Their schedule is truly something."

"These people live a life of debauchery," Caie Mitsui commented:

"Their work and rest schedules are entirely reversed, dictated solely by their whims. With money, they indulge in extravagance; without it, they hide indoors, never venturing out. You can’t judge them by normal people’s standards."

"You’re right," Lin Yi said with a laugh:

"If they really are stepping out for snacks, then we have our opportunity."

"Follow them, and we’ll have a chance to make a move," Caie Mitsui suggested.

Neither of them moved yet, instead observing their every action from the car.

Meanwhile, the man in black, Beihai Cangjie, had also focused his gaze on Lin Yi’s car.

"What’s wrong, Mr. Beihai?"

"That car looks a bit familiar."

Beihai Cangjie pulled out the photocopied photo to compare it with the car in the distance.

The more he looked, the more it seemed to match!

"Hey, this car looks exactly like the one in the wanted notice," one person said.

"And look—there are two people in the car. That woman even looks quite similar to the one in the photo."

Beihai Cangjie exchanged glances with the other three, a barely restrained excitement showing on their faces.

"The wanted notice says capturing them would earn a one-billion-yen reward. Could it be that the goddess of fortune has smiled upon us?"

"Seems likely, but shouldn’t we call others for backup?"

"Definitely not!" Beihai Cangjie declared:

"The more people involved, the smaller our share of the reward. There’s no need to inform anyone else; the four of us here are certainly enough to handle them."

"Agreed. Beihai is right."

Having made up their minds, Beihai Cangjie waved his hand.

"Follow me and check it out!"

"Alright!"

The four cautiously approached, all thinking they were hunters stalking prey. Little did they know, they were already marked as lambs to be slaughtered!

This was the fault of Japan’s official channels—they hadn’t made the wanted notice clear. They failed to emphasize how dangerous Lin Yi truly was.

As a result, the four merely regarded Lin Yi as an important criminal, without realizing his true capabilities.

Seeing Beihai Cangjie approach, Lin Yi and Caie Mitsui exchanged a glance, both harboring doubt in their minds.

The expressions of the four men were wary—not those of people fetching a car for late-night food, but rather targeting them specifically.

"Mr. Lin Yi, something feels off," Caie Mitsui whispered in caution.

"I’ve noticed. We might’ve been discovered."

Without wasting a second, Lin Yi immediately started the car and drove off.

Seeing Lin Yi drive away, Beihai Cangjie and the others instantly reacted.

"That car’s suspicious. Chase it down!"

All four ran to their own vehicle, pursuing in Lin Yi’s direction.

Lin Yi’s expression turned grim. This wasn’t a scenario he’d anticipated.

There was no doubt—they had indeed spotted him.

But from the time they left the city to this point, barely two hours had passed. Yet word had already reached this area. That was no good omen.

At this moment, it seemed not only the Capital City, but possibly the entire nation, was on lockdown.

The upcoming journey of escape was destined to be increasingly perilous.

"Mr. Lin Yi, they’re catching up," Caie Mitsui said, glancing at the rearview mirror.

"That’s exactly what I want them to do—otherwise, swapping cars wouldn’t work for us," Lin Yi replied with a smirk.

Caie Mitsui was momentarily startled before understanding Lin Yi’s intention.

A few mere thugs who excelled only in brawling could hardly pose a threat to him.

All he needed was a suitable location to make his move.

The pacing of events was entirely under Lin Yi’s control, rendering her worries needless.

As the pursuers drew closer, Lin Yi suddenly accelerated, opening up some distance, then slowed down again to tempt them forward.

After running for thirty kilometers, Lin Yi drove into a narrow rural road and stopped at a dark, desolate stretch.

"Stay in the car. I’ll handle this," Lin Yi said.

"Okay."

Caie Mitsui nodded lightly, keeping quiet. Her faith in Lin Yi’s abilities was absolute.

Outside the car, Lin Yi adjusted his clothing and stood by the side of the vehicle.

Moments later, Beihai Cangjie’s car halted a few meters away. The four stepped out in succession.

They noticed the man standing before them didn’t resemble the wanted criminal in the photo. He seemed to be someone else entirely.

However, the car he drove matched the photo perfectly.

On top of that, inside his car was a woman—one beautiful and youthful—bearing a slight resemblance to Caie Mitsui.

"Why are you following me?" Lin Yi struck first, his tone calm.

"There are some questions we’d like to discuss with you."

"I’m just an ordinary person. What could you possibly want to ask me about?"

"Heh..." Beihai Cangjie sneered:

"That’s something we’ll find out after we talk. We hope you’ll cooperate."
