It was like walking through the gates of hell-the worker was drenched in sweat, not because he was guilty, but because the pressure Lin Yi was giving off was too strong. He wasn't even in the foundational level yet, and he couldn't handle it.
A moment later, honest Chai walked in quietly and stood in front of Lin Yi. He didn't even dare to breathe too loudly as he lowered his head and whispered,"May I ask what instructions the Vice President has for me?"
"I heard that your relationship with Wei Zhaotong isn't that good?" Lin Yi glanced at him and smiled with a mysterious expression.
"Uh ... This ... There was a small misunderstanding before ..." Honest Chai replied carefully. He knew that Lin Yi must have told him this from the guy just now, and it wasn't a bad thing to let him know. At least he could clear himself of the suspicion that he was in cahoots with Wei Zhaotong.
However, honest Chai didn't know what Lin Yi was planning, and how he was going to deal with Wei Zhaotong, so he didn't dare to be happy too early.
"A small misunderstanding? The Deputy shopkeeper had been stripped of his power, and he had to recuperate for a month. How could this be called a small misunderstanding? You're a very magnanimous person!" "Let me ask you, do you have any evidence of Wei Zhaotong's crime?" Lin Yi smiled.
He had only asked this on the spot after hearing the shop assistant's words. Originally, he only wanted to find an honest person to help manage the black arc branch. However, if he could use this to deal with Wei Zhaotong, that would be more than he could ask for.
"Evidence?" Honest Chai was taken aback, and his expression became a little hesitant. He didn't know what to do. "I ..."
"Is there or not? stop talking nonsense." Lin Yi interrupted. Wei Zhaotong's matter had to be resolved as soon as possible. If it dragged on for too long, who knew what changes would happen when the matter fermented?
Wei Zhaotong wasn't an idiot-while he was doing bad things, he'd definitely drag a lot of people down with him in order to ensure his safety. There might be higher-ups in the Hong Chamber of Commerce's headquarters, or even big shots. If these people reacted and started to interfere, the pressure Lin Yi would face would be really huge.
If things really did get to that point, he'd have to let go, or he'd have to make a bunch of enemies for an insignificant Wei Zhaotong. With Lin Yi's personality, he wouldn't bow his head to these people, but he didn't want to cause any trouble.
This was because in his plan, someone else would take over this matter. He wouldn't be the one to execute it all. Even if he had to consider the person who would take over, he had to cut the Gordian knot quickly and minimize the impact.
Being stared at by Lin Yi at such a close distance, the already scared honest Chai became even more scared, his back already soaked in cold sweat.
He'd fought his way up from the common world, and it'd been over a year since he'd arrived on Sky Class Island-all sorts of encounters, and all sorts of leaps and bounds in strength. Even Lin Yi himself didn't realize how much stronger he'd gotten.
Besides, although he seemed calm, Lin Yi was a very strong person in his bones. Naturally, his aura was also very oppressive. If it wasn't for the fact that he always kept a low profile and tried to hold back, normal people wouldn't be able to stand in front of him at all. Even golden core Masters of the same level would feel like they were standing next to an Overlord level beast, trembling and walking on thin ice.
This feeling was something that honest Chai had a deep impression of. Although Wei Zhaotong had always been aggressive in the past, he had always relied on all sorts of vicious methods to intimidate others. However, this Ling Yi in front of him only had to stand there and look at him. He didn't even have to do anything, and he was already unable to take it.
"I ... I do ..." Honest Chai didn't want to tell Lin Yi everything, but he couldn't take the pressure. He had to admit it. If he didn 't, he couldn't guarantee that this fierce man wouldn't kill him too.
"Let me take a look." Lin Yi's eyes brightened. He was just trying to ask on the spur of the moment. He didn't think that it would really exist. This was a pleasant surprise.
"Yes, please wait a moment." At this point, there was nothing for honest Chai to hesitate about anymore. After Lin Yi nodded, he turned around and went back to his room to look for the evidence he had secretly collected.
Even the most honest and timid person would have a temper. After being bullied by Wei Zhaotong for so many years, he was originally a dignified Deputy Manager of a branch, but he was completely turned into an idle person. He was even beaten up and had to recuperate for an entire month. If honest Chai could really swallow this kind of anger, he would probably be enlightened and become immortal.
So all these years, although honest Chai didn't participate in anything and closed one eye, hiding wherever Wei Zhaotong went, he had been secretly collecting evidence and waiting for an opportunity.
Unfortunately, Wei Zhaotong had someone protecting him in the Nakajima headquarters, and he hadn't even seen many higher-ups, let alone any powerful backing. Even if he had a handful of evidence in his hands, he still didn't dare to take any action.
He, honest Chai, couldn't withstand Wei Zhaotong's counterattack. Although he felt a little aggrieved now, it was better to live than to die. It was better than losing his life rashly.
After a while, honest Chai returned with an account book in his hand.
"This is the evidence?" Lin Yi looked at honest Chai and flipped through the book. He was confused-the way the books were recorded down was very unique, and it was a mess. Lin Yi didn't know much about it, and he didn't know how to do it.
"Yes." Honest Chai carefully observed Lin Yi's expression. This evidence was the fruit of his many years of hard work, and it was a powerful weapon that could bring down Wei Zhaotong, but there was a condition-it had to fall into the hands of a powerful person.
After all, the evidence was dead, but the person was alive. If it was just an ordinary person, even if they had this evidence, it would be of no use, because Wei Zhaotong could completely use his background in Nakajima's headquarters to make this evidence a false testimony.
It was also because of this that honest Chai didn't dare to take out the evidence rashly. He was afraid that Ling Yi wasn't capable enough, and he was even more afraid that this so-called honorary Vice President wasn't real at all, and was just a liar.
However, despite his worry, honest Chai wasn't a brave man. In front of Lin Yi's authority, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
Lin Yi flipped through the ledger and looked at it again and again before turning to honest Chai."Why don't you tell me what exactly is written in this account book? what evidence of Wei Zhaotong's crime is recorded?"
All the customs on Sky Class Island followed the ancient times, and what was used in this account book wasn't the common Arabic numbers, but the most standard calculation method of ancient times.
