I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3542: Chapter 3534: The Lost Stone Tablet

Lin Yi held two bottles of alcohol.

Carrying half a watermelon downstairs.

He placed them in his car.

Suddenly felt a heaviness in his chest.

As if a stone was pressing against his chest, making it hard to breathe.

With his phone in hand, Lin Yi arranged the aftermath, and simultaneously called the police.

This matter must be thoroughly investigated.

Meanwhile, he bought a burial plot.

Ensuring he has a final resting place after death.

Just like that.

Lin Yi sat silently in the car all night.

Early morning around five, the police called.

Liu Chuanlong’s wife has confessed the entire sequence of events.

The interrogation process posed no difficulty; a slight increase in pressure made her spill everything.

She wanted the property deed, and in the tussle with Liu Dagang, caused him to fall and hit his temple on the table corner.

Afterwards, Liu Chuanlong dialed 120, attempting to get an ambulance over.

But his wife said that an ambulance was too expensive, suggesting they take a cab to the hospital.

This led to a disagreement, delaying treatment and causing Liu Dagang’s death.

According to criminal law, she will be held criminally responsible.

As for Liu Chuanlong, he bears no legal responsibility.

He will only face moral criticism and education.

The outcome was expected by Lin Yi, who advised them to handle it professionally.

After dealing with these matters, Lin Yi drove to the hospital.

He saw Liu Chuanlong there.

Upon seeing Lin Yi again, fear was evident on Liu Chuanlong’s face.

The events of the night revealed to him that Lin Yi’s identity was far more than a mere security guard.

Lin Yi did not engage much with him, being busy with handling the aftermath.

The funeral staff coordinated with Lin Yi, then transported the body to the crematorium.

Everything related to the farewell ceremony was kept simple.

At the crematorium, the entire process was expedited.

After the cremation, Lin Yi took the ashes to the cemetery and properly buried them.

Everything was completed within the morning.

After bustling around, the entire process concluded.

A profound emptiness, like torrential rain, descended upon Lin Yi.

He stood silently in front of the tombstone for a long time.

Liu Chuanlong stood beside him, speechless, not daring to utter a word.

Bypassing Liu Chuanlong, Lin Yi returned to the car, taking out the alcohol and watermelon.

Placed them in front of Liu Dagang’s tombstone.

"We promised to drink together, but you didn’t get to last night. Just one night passed, and now you’re lying here."

Lin Yi opened both bottles.

Placed the 32-dollar one in front of the tombstone.

"You drink the expensive one; I’ll take the cheaper one."

Holding the 12-dollar bottle of liquor, Lin Yi tilted his head back and drank it all in one go.

Meanwhile, the 32-dollar bottle was slowly poured onto the ground by Lin Yi.

The vagaries of life.

Made Lin Yi feel suffocated.

"Thank you."

Liu Chuanlong stood nervously beside Lin Yi.

He knew very well that without Lin Yi handling these matters, he wouldn’t have had the capability.

Nor could he have bought a burial plot.

Lin Yi turned to him, raised his hand, and slapped Liu Chuanlong across the face.

Liu Chuanlong was stunned by the slap.

He stood there, not daring to retaliate.

"Hopefully, this slap wakes you up."

Lin Yi’s face showed no emotion, extremely calm.

"As a man, don’t live so cowardly."

"I-I understand."

Lin Yi left, returned to the car, and drove away from the cemetery.

The person was gone, and Lin Yi did what he could.

As for Liu Chuanlong’s future, it had nothing to do with him.

[Task completed: Reward of 300,000 master level driving skills.]

[Job completion rate: 100%, reward with Lost Stone Tablet.]

The system’s unexpected appearance was both surprising and expected for Lin Yi.

Lost Stone Tablet?

The reward puzzled Lin Yi.

Such an item had never appeared before.

Since he had worked the night shift yesterday, Lin Jiang drove home during the day.

Intending to see what the system reward was.

Upon returning home, he saw Song Minghui watering the plants.

"Mom, where’s she and the child?"

In Lin Yi’s memory, it was a weekend today.

Ji Qingyan and the child must be home.

"Tao Yuan came to pick them up, said they’re going out to have fun."

"Got it."

"Oh, by the way, there was a package for you earlier, placed beside the shoe rack at the entrance."

"Understood."

Inside, Lin Yi found a black package by the entrance.

About the size of a shoebox, it felt quite heavy when held.

Lin Yi carried it to the second floor and opened it in Ji Qingyan’s study.

Inside was a silver box, which revealed an irregular stone tablet upon opening.

The thickness was about five millimeters.

Taking out the stone tablet, it had a dark gray surface.

Unlike the others, one side was smooth, while the other was uneven, with significant variations.

The smooth side had strange patterns etched on it.

Forming an irregular shape without any observable rules.

But in the center of the pattern, there were three small red dots.

Although the significance of those red dots was unclear, Lin Yi felt they were definitely not pointless.

After observing repeatedly, there seemed to be nothing else noteworthy about the stone tablet.

Lin Yi held it for a long time, unable to discern its purpose.

Yet he was sure it was related to Tilia Island.

But its exact use was unknown.

Took a picture, and Lin Yi posted it in his team’s group chat, then initiated a video conference.

The first to appear were Sui Qiang, Yu Siying, Xiao Bing, and Luo Qi.

Later, Shao Jianfeng also joined.

Zhang Chaoyue: "Boss, what happened?"

Lin Yi’s actions in the group were familiar to everyone.

Without major issues, he rarely spoke in the group, let alone initiate video conferences.

If he did, it signaled urgency, requiring immediate response.

Luo Qi: "Wow, you’re sick, not wearing clothes in broad daylight."

Zhang Chaoyue: "I’m battling a dilemma here, just stepped out midway."

At this moment, Zhao Yunhu joined the video conference.

Much like Zhang Chaoyue, both were shirtless.

Xiao Bing: "Why do you two look alike, don’t tell me you’re up to something together, a disgrace to the team."

Zhang Chaoyue: "Hey, don’t ruin my reputation."

Lin Yi: "Alright, stop fooling around, let’s get down to business."

Lin Yi: "I’ve posted a picture in the group, take a look."

They picked up their phones, stared at the picture for a while.

Yu Siying: "Boss, any clues? Just looking at this picture doesn’t reveal what it is."

In front of the camera, Lin Yi showed the stone tablet.

Lin Yi: "Have a look, this might be connected to the island, don’t speculate beyond that."

They gathered around, scrutinizing the screen for quite some time.

Still nothing came to light.

Shao Jianfeng: "We can speculate on two directions: one is the material, the other is the design on it."
