Of course, there was one more thing he didn't say- other than poison and assassination, the person who attacked Mister Qiu had done it in the most violent way possible. He'd killed Mister Qiu outright, not poisoned or assassinated.
Because to kill Mister Qiu without the person in front noticing, neither assassination nor poison were possible. Either way, Mister Qiu's body would freeze momentarily, and the person in front would notice something was wrong. They would turn around to check, and that would be a failure of his plan to kill Mister Qiu without anyone noticing.
So if he didn't want the person in front to notice, he'd have to cut off Mister Qiu's hand and kill him at the same time! He'd have to kill Mister Qiu before he could even react to the pain! Of course, this wouldn't count as an assassination, but a clear kill!
Lin Yi didn't have the confidence to do this! But this unknown enemy had done it.
Plus, Lin Yi didn't even sense this person's presence- of course, the jade didn't warn him, either. This meant that when this person killed Mister Qiu, his target was only Mister Qiu, and he didn't have any ill intentions towards him, Lingshan, Yutian, or even Xiaoke.
The jade's warning function was very interesting, and sometimes even Lin Yi didn't understand it- it was as if it could see into his heart. It only worked on friends and not enemies, and it didn't work on other people that Lin Yi treated as strangers or friends that were out of range.
This was similar to the party system in some online games, which only worked on the same team members on the same map.
"Earth class!" Lingshan and Yutian were quite shocked by Lin Yi's words. They looked at each other, their mouths wide open. "Isn't that a master from the legendary hidden houses and sects?"
Both of them were from noble houses, and they naturally knew what an Earth class represented. Even a Mystic late phase peak was a rare sight.
"I don't know about that- the world is full of strange things. From what you see, maybe Earth classes only exist in the hidden houses and sects, that's what you see on the surface. But maybe in the common world, some dark forces have masters like that in their hands, like the tomb raiding groups this time … "Lin Yi said.
"Yeah!" Lingshan realized. "My thinking was limited, but I was limited to the obvious, and I forgot about these criminal organizations!"
"If this Earth Rank master really exists, then I don't recommend going against him. I don't have the confidence to do anything to him. It'll be even more difficult for your men to capture him! If he wants to protect someone and escape, no one can stop him! " Lin Yi reminded them indifferently, "So, you should change your plans. Don't do it if you know it's impossible …"
Actually, if Lin Yi really wanted to fight this Earth class to the death, he might not lose. But Lin Yi had big business in the tomb, and as long as the Earth class didn't stop Lin Yi from finding the fruit, he could do whatever he wanted. Lin Yi didn't care.
As for whether Lingshan and Yutian could complete the mission, Lin Yi didn't really care. It wasn't that Lin Yi didn't care, but the situation was special, and Lin Yi had to prioritize Xiaoxiao. Everything else was secondary.
Lingshan and Yutian smiled bitterly, silent. Of course, they knew how strong an Earth class was! Mystic class was already very strong in the common world, let alone an Earth class! If even Lin Yi said he didn't have the confidence, then he really didn't have the confidence.
They didn't know which tomb robber had the ability to get an Earth class to help them.
"We can only play it by ear …" Lingshan sighed, "I couldn't stop Old Hei in time when he tried to kill someone today, I really didn't know what to do …"
Lingshan, naturally, didn't want the suspect to die in the middle of an internal strife. If he died, it'd be hard for him to get his loot back.
"One dead means one less. I'll only be able to confirm which side that Earth class is on if more of them die." Lin Yi said nonchalantly.
Lingshan and Yutian were silent, thinking about it for a while before changing their plans. Lin Yi, on the other hand, called House Chu's villa.
After a while, Goudan's voice came from the other side, "Hello? How are you? "
"Er Goudan, it's me. How's your family?" Lin Yi didn't expect Goudan to become so polite after being here for a while. He even knew how to say 'you'.
"Boss, it's you!" Goudan was excited when he heard Lin Yi's voice, "Everything's fine at home. I sent the three sisters-in-law to school this morning, and I'll pick them up at night! Don't worry, boss, I won't let anyone touch a single hair on them- I'll kill anyone who dares! "
"Alright," Lin Yi smiled, "Right, how's General Weiwu? Go to the police station later and give General Weiwu to an officer called Liu Wangli. I'll talk to him. "
"General Weiwu? Alright! "Goudan nodded," Alright, I'll send it over in a bit. "
What happened in the tomb today made Lin Yi think of General Weiwu. If General Weiwu was here, then he'd have less trouble and more confidence. After all, dogs had a sharp sense of smell, and this was also a backup plan that Lin Yi had! It would be great if he couldn't fight against that Earth-rank master, but if he did, he would play with an energy bomb and kill him. Then, he would have General Weiwu as his golden finger to repair his damaged meridians and regain his strength!
Lin Yi was afraid that without General Weiwu by his side, he'd die in the tomb!
After the call with Goudan, Lin Yi told Lingshan to call Liu Wangli and arrange for him to send the dog over, while Lin Yi drove out himself.
In the Xiao family's villa, Xiao Ji called Xiao Ben from the company in a hurry.
In the Xiao family, Xiao Ben was the one who took care of the business, and Xiao Ji, on the other hand, was happy to be the head of the house. He didn't care about anything, just having the title of head of the house. But for Xiao Ji, this was the best way.
"Big Brother, why did you call me back so urgently? What happened?" Xiao Ben hurried home and asked as soon as he entered the door.
