The hatred formed at the birthday party last time could be said to be irreconcilable. Xu Lingchong could jump out from the dark at any time to launch a sneak attack. With his strength in the Peak of Foundation Establishment, it was no doubt difficult to deal with.
But now, not only the three pavilions, but also other places in the north island were also covered with wanted posters from the Law Enforcement Hall. Xu Lingchong didn't even dare to show up, let alone launch a sneak attack on Lin Yi. At least in a short period of time, Lin Yi didn't need to worry about his threat.
However, people without foresight would have immediate worries. Soon, Lin Yi received bad news. Hong Zhong was about to leave the north island.
As the incoming vice president of the headquarters of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, Hong Zhong's departure was a foregone conclusion from the moment he was appointed. What really gave Lin Yi a headache was what Hong Zhong told him before he left.
"Young Hero Lin, according to your request, I have asked the headquarters not to deal with your identity as the honorary vice president publicly. Only the president and the executive vice president know about it. Don't worry," Hong Zhong said.
"Well, thank you, Mr. Hong." Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
This was a matter of course. As a newcomer in Blue Cloud Pavilion, if he suddenly made such an arrogant identity as the honorary vice president of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, he would simply attract hatred. There would inevitably be people who would be envious and hate him. This was also inconsistent with Lin Yi's purpose of improving his strength in a low-key manner.
However, what Hong Zhong said next made his face change slightly. "I'm leaving today to go to Middle Island to take the position of the vice president. If everything goes well, the new manager of the north island branch will be in place in two days. Young Hero Lin, you have to be careful of this person."
"What do you mean?" Lin Yi's eyes narrowed.
"This person's name is Si Haixiao. He was originally the supervisor of Hong Ying Group in the headquarters of Middle Island, responsible for supervising the branch managers. This time, taking advantage of the vacancy in the north island branch, he spent a lot of effort to fight for this position." Hong Zhong paused and then said, "There is one thing you still don't know, Young Hero Lin. Previously, Southern Sky Gate came to threaten me to give out the details of your other identity. At that time, they used Si Haixiao's personal letter as a threat. "
"So, this Si Haixiao has a close relationship with Nan Tianba and the others?" Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a headache after hearing this.
With his relationship with Hong Zhong, it would be easy for him to ask the Hong Chamber of Commerce for help in the future, such as purchasing the Heart Devouring Exquisite Grass. Even if it was someone else, with Hong Zhong's help, it wouldn't be a big problem for them either.
However … If this successor had a close relationship with Nan Tianba and his group, it would be extremely difficult to ask the Hong Chamber of Commerce for help.
Even if Hong Zhong was his immediate superior, the branch shopkeeper was a feudal lord and had great autonomy. If he insisted on not cooperating with such a small matter that had nothing to do with his principles, even Hong Zhong would not be able to do anything to him.
"Not bad, and this guy is from Hong Ying's team. His intelligence surveillance ability is far above that of a normal person. Once you are targeted by him, it will be very difficult for you to hide any secrets. So, Young Hero Lin, you must be careful. "Hong Zhong reminded again.
Lin Yi nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for your concern, Elder Hong. Elder Hong must have faced many challenges on this trip to Middle Island. I wish you all the best. You will be promoted step by step! "
Hong Zhong smiled and said, "Then, I will borrow Young Hero Lin's auspicious words. This old man will go to Middle Island to fight a preliminary battle. If nothing goes wrong, we will meet again on Middle Island! "
"See you on Middle Island!" Lin Yi smiled slightly.
Hong Zhong originally thought that the new branch shopkeeper, Si Haixiao, would take at least a few days to arrive. However, he did not know that when he said goodbye to Lin Yi, Si Haixiao had already arrived on North Island. However, he did not appear in public and had been investigating in secret.
Before the troops and horses moved, the intelligence was already in advance. As the former Hong Ying Group's Four Directions Supervisor, even if Si Haixiao became the shopkeeper of the North Island branch, he would not get rid of this habit that he had developed over the years.
As for Nan Tianba and the others, since they were the local tyrants of North Island and had various connections with him, they were naturally the first choice for Si Haixiao to understand the situation.
"Supervisor Si, oh no, you should be Shopkeeper Si now. I did not expect you to be transferred to North Island. This news really made us overjoyed. We have finally found a backer. In the future, please take care of us, Shopkeeper Si!" Southern Sky Gate said with a flattering smile.
Nan Tianba was arrogant and disdained flattery, while Yu Zhe's level was not high enough. Therefore, among the few of them, Southern Sky Gate had the closest relationship with Si Haixiao.
"Well said, well said. We are all on the same side. As long as you help me in the future, I won't mistreat you guys, hahaha! However, this is my first time here, so my understanding of North Island is mostly literal information. As for the specific situation, I still need you guys to tell me in detail. "Si Haixiao said with an amiable expression.
"Okay, okay, okay." Southern Sky Gate was happy to show off, so he immediately nodded.
Although they had looked down on Hong Zhong previously, the position of the manager of the Hong Chamber of Commerce's north island branch was extremely important to anyone. Otherwise, Hong Zhong would not have been able to easily become an honored guest of Shangguan Tianhua, who was one of the top figures of the Three Pavilions. If they could curry favor with him, the benefits were self-evident.
Especially after the few confrontations with Hong Zhong, they knew the background of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, so they were even more respectful.
The three members of the South-Heaven Gate immediately poured out everything they knew about the forces on the north island to Si Haixiao. They didn't even hide some of the secrets of the three great pavilions that no one knew about.
In the end, Southern Sky Gate did not forget to mention Lin Yi. Although they were now sure that Lin Yi was not the Second Lin they were looking for, after the incident on North Island, they had already become enemies with Lin Yi and Hong Zhong.
Strike first and gain the upper hand. Now that they had a backer like Si Haixiao, it would be a waste if they did not make good use of him.
After listening to their narration, Si Haixiao pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's best to slow down the matter of finding trouble with Lin Yi. Now that Hong Zhong is in the limelight, once he goes to Middle Island and is separated from Lin Yi for a long time, their relationship will naturally fade. It won't be too late to make a move on Lin Yi then."
Hearing this, Nan Tianba and the others looked at each other. That's not right, the meaning behind it was too obvious.
