"This identity card can at most prove that you are a survivor of Qiushui Villa. Why would you die once it is exposed?" Lin Yi asked doubtfully.
Li Zhengming laughed bitterly. "Boss Lin Yi, you should know that this case alerted the entire Law Enforcement Hall's strongest lineup back then, but it ended without a conclusion. With the Law Enforcement Hall's ability, do you really think that they can't find the mastermind behind such a big case?"
"Continue," Lin Yi said calmly.
When he heard Senior Brother Ku Bi talk about it, he also had the same doubts. It was impossible for there to be no clues left behind to exterminate the entire Qiushui Villa of 1,540 people. If the Law Enforcement Hall really wanted to investigate, it shouldn't be difficult to find the real culprit.
However, in the end, the investigation ended without a conclusion after a few months. This kind of ending was really thought-provoking.
"It's not that they couldn't investigate, but they didn't dare to. That's because the biggest mastermind behind the scenes is the top boss of the Elders Guild of the Three Great Pavilions!"
Li Zhengming gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Yi. "Boss Lin Yi, you must be wondering why I chose a pseudonym with the surname Li, right? The reason is very simple. It's because the biggest mastermind behind the scenes is surnamed Li. I want to use this pseudonym to constantly remind myself that I carry the blood feud of 1,540 people on my back! "
Lin Yi finally understood. If that was the case, once Li Zhengming's identity card was exposed, he would really die a horrible death. That was because the big boss of the Elders Guild with the surname Li would definitely not allow a fish like Li Zhengming to escape the net and roam freely outside.
In other words, if all of this was true. Li Zhengming handing over the identity card meant that his life was in the hands of Lin Yi. If he had any ulterior motives, Lin Yi could kill him at any time. Even if he had people like Meng Jueguang to protect him, it would be useless.
"Okay, I believe you." Lin Yi finally nodded. If he still remained indifferent after Li Zhengming said this, it would be a little too much. Unless he didn't want Li Zhengming to be his mole from the start.
But the reality was that he needed Li Zhengming to be his mole. Li Zhengming also showed enough sincerity. Now that things had developed to this point, the two of them naturally hit it off.
Li Zhengming couldn't help but be overjoyed, but before he could feel the joy of surviving a disaster, Lin Yi casually threw the identity card back to him. He couldn't help but shiver, "Boss Lin Yi, what is the meaning of this?"
Lin Yi smiled, not minding it. "Since I already believe that you're loyal to me, I'm willing to help you. "Since I already believe that you sincerely want to rely on me, then I don't need this kind of cumbersome thing. After all, if you really want to betray me in the future, then even if I have this identity card, it would be meaningless."
This was the truth. Although this identity card was a fatal threat to Li Zhengming, if he really thought of a way, it was still possible to get rid of this identity card's restriction.
But even so. This action of Lin Yi still made Li Zhengming feel flattered. He hurriedly expressed his loyalty. "Thank you for Boss Lin Yi's trust. I, Li Zhengming, swear to the heavens that no matter what happens in the future, I won't dare to have the slightest bit of disloyalty. If I violate this oath, may the heavens and earth destroy me! "
"Hehe … I don't believe in oaths. I only believe in my own strength. I'll say the ugly words first. In the future, if you have any disloyalty, I can easily take your life. When that time comes, no one can save you. Do you understand? " As he spoke, Lin Yi's imposing manner as a peak early stage Foundation Establishment expert was completely released. The entire cave trembled slightly.
Li Zhengming hurriedly prostrated on the ground. "I understand."
"Okay, you can get up." Lin Yi nodded lightly.
"Yes." Li Zhengming immediately got up nimbly. Although his injuries weren't light, Lin Yi didn't use any martial arts when he beat him. At this time, he couldn't even stand up.
Lin Yi thought for a while and ordered, "When you go back later, report to Meng Jueguang that I'm now in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Do you understand what I mean?"
Li Zhengming was stunned. He thought about the key points in his mind and quickly understood Lin Yi's meaning. He nodded. "I understand."
If he went back this time and reported to Meng Jueguang that Lin Yi was still in Heaven Stage Great Perfection and hadn't succeeded in Foundation Establishment, although this was the best way to hide his strength in the short term, it would be easy to expose flaws in the following ranking competition.
Instead, it was better to reveal a little bit of Lin Yi's strength to Meng Jueguang in advance. This way, he wouldn't reveal Lin Yi's trump card. At the same time, he could also gain people's trust. Only then could he work as an inside man for a long time.
"Then … Boss Lin Yi, I'll leave first." Li Zhengming glanced at Lin Yi. He had already been in the cave for a while. If he stayed here for too long, it would be easy to arouse suspicion.
"Wait a minute." Lin Yi suddenly stopped him and handed over a piece of spiritual jade. "Didn't you say you wanted to exchange spiritual jades with me? After all, you came in with this excuse. If you go back empty-handed, Meng Jueguang and the others will still have to question you, right? "
"This …" Li Zhengming couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a long time, he stammered, "Boss Lin Yi, there's something I have to tell you. You must be mentally prepared. You must hold on later."
Lin Yi saw his expression and already guessed what he was going to say. He couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, just say it."
"That, that before, didn't a lot of people come to exchange spiritual jades with you? In fact, Meng Jueguang gave us a pile of waste jades and asked us to use them to cheat you of your good jades. In other words, you used a dozen good jades to exchange for a pile of worthless waste jades. You were cheated by Meng Jueguang …" Li Zhengming said awkwardly.
In fact, he had always been very puzzled about this matter.
In his opinion, with Lin Yi's shrewdness, how could he not be able to distinguish good jades and waste jades? Moreover, he was cheated by these people using the same excuse again and again. Even when he deliberately exposed a few flaws, Lin Yi still didn't have the slightest reaction!
Lin Yi chuckled and said, "I know. I knew this was a scam from the beginning."
"Huh? Then why did you … "Li Zhengming was dumbfounded. How could there be someone who knew that it was a scam, but still cooperated and fell for it!
Lin Yi smiled faintly. "I have a special use for collecting waste jades. In comparison, I don't rely much on good jades. So I'm happy to cooperate with you. I can't wait for you to give me more waste jades!"
