Thinking back to the situation at that time, Lin Yi did not know whether to laugh or cry. Although there were no flashes of swords, it was the most dangerous and urgent situation he had encountered since coming to the South Continent.
However, this outcome was not too bad. Huang Xiaotao had become the disciple of the Divine Nun of the Eastern Sea, and became the disciple that everyone envied. Moreover, she was with Wang Xinyan, so at least she would not be in danger.
Just as Lin Yi was thinking about how to stay calm and avoid other people's eyes and ears to meet with the two women, Wei Zhaotong and Cheng Ketian had started planning again in the Hong Merchant Association.
"Shopkeeper Wei, now that the Morning Star Academy is here, the time you mentioned has come. You should tell me the specifics of the plan now. Ling Yi, that little brat, has been hiding in the Equal Heaven Escort Agency for many days now," Cheng Ketian said impatiently.
Previously, when he and Wei Zhaotong had hit it off, he had added oil to the fire, and blamed Ling Yi for the failure of the robbery incident.
If Ling Yi had not interfered, the robbery plan would have been foolproof, and Qi Wenhan would not have discovered it. Perhaps he had to thank Wei Zhaotong for being magnanimous and not pursuing the Equal Heaven Escort Agency's responsibility after receiving the compensation.
As such, Wei Zhaotong naturally hated Lin Yi as well. After all, this was the truth. If not for Lin Yi, the pirate leader would not have been captured, and Qi Wenhan would not have known the truth behind the scenes.
Letting Wei Zhaotong deal with Ling Yi was what Cheng Ketian meant by killing with a borrowed knife. He knew that Ling Yi had the full protection of the Equal Heaven Escort Agency, and he could not do anything by himself. Only by borrowing Wei Zhaotong's power would he have a chance to avenge himself.
However, with Wei Zhaotong's deep foresight, how could he be used by an idiot like Cheng Ketian? It would be the other way around, especially with his status. Even if he decided to deal with Lin Yi, he would definitely not do it himself.
Cheng Jingtian's little abacus. Wei Zhaotong saw it clearly, but he did not expose it. Firstly, he really hated Ling Yi for ruining his plans and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Secondly, he wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to the Poison Eye Mercenary Group. If he wanted to do any shady business in the future, they would be the best partner for him to work with.
"Young Master Cheng, don't be impatient. The Morning Star Academy is here, but I have yet to see my distant cousin. He is the key person to deal with Ling Yi. "Wei Zhaotong said calmly.
"Distant cousin?" Cheng Ketian couldn't help but stare blankly for a moment before asking, "Shopkeeper Wei's distant cousin, could he be someone from the Morning Star Academy?"
"That's right, he's not just a simple disciple in the Morning Star Academy. With his help, just a few words from him would be enough to make Ling Yi suffer a fate worse than death!" Wei Zhaotong sneered.
"So powerful? Shopkeeper Wei, what exactly does your cousin do in the Morning Star Academy? "Cheng Ketian was even more curious.
"Purchasing Deacon," Wei Zhaotong said lightly as he personally poured tea for Cheng Jutian.
"Pu!" Cheng Ketian had just taken a sip when he spurted it out on the spot. He grimaced in pain and said, "I thought he was some big shot, but he's just a purchasing deacon. What kind of big shot is he? "
"Young Master Cheng might not know, but don't think that he's just a purchasing deacon. He's in charge of all the purchasing matters of the Morning Star Academy. The amount of power he has isn't something an ordinary person can imagine." Wei Zhaotong said with a profound expression.
"But even if that's the case, what does a purchasing deacon have to do with dealing with Ling Yi?" Cheng Ketian still couldn't understand.
"Young Master Cheng, don't worry. Although he's a purchasing deacon and has nothing to do with dealing with Ling Yi, he has the authority to speak to the higher-ups of the academy. As long as he says a few words, even if Lin Yi doesn't die, he will. "Wei Zhaotong said confidently.
"Oh. If that's the case, will he help? "Cheng Ketian was still a little worried.
Distant cousins were usually extremely unreliable. They were often extremely unreliable. When there was nothing going on, they could still befriend each other. However, if they had something to ask of them, they might just turn their backs on them. In this day and age, even blood brothers had to be wary of each other, let alone distant relatives who had nothing to do with each other.
"Of course, with my relationship with him, this matter is not a problem." Wei Zhaotong was extremely confident. With his experience, of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to rely on such a simple relationship between distant relatives. But this distant relative was different. The two of them were closely connected and had a common interest.
Before coming to the South Continent's Wei Arc Territorial Waters to be the branch manager, Wei Zhaotong was the deputy manager of the East Continent's Gaolin Territorial Waters' Hong Family Chamber of Commerce. Furthermore, he had been in this position for a whole five years. It was also in these five years that he gradually drifted apart from Hong Zhong and the rest, and gradually walked towards depravity.
The key person who led him to depravity was this distant cousin who worked as a purchasing deacon in the Morning Star Academy. One of them was in charge of purchasing, while the other was in charge of selling. After a chance encounter, they immediately discovered the huge benefits hidden within!
The Morning Star Academy was such a transcendent force. Just the monthly purchases alone was an absolutely shocking astronomical figure, and the two of them were standing right on top of this astronomical figure.
After the two of them got in touch, all of the Morning Star Academy's purchasing requirements fell on the Hong Family Chamber of Commerce. This did not seem inappropriate to outsiders. After all, the Hong Family Chamber of Commerce was a well-known Ding-ranked chamber of commerce, and its reputation was unquestionable.
However, what outsiders did not know was that during the monthly purchases, this purchasing deacon would always quote a high price to the Morning Star Academy, while Wei Zhaotong would quote a low price to the Hong Family Chamber of Commerce. The difference between the two of them was so huge that it would definitely make anyone jealous.
Not only that, while Wei Zhaotong was stuffing his own pockets, not only was he not suspected by the Hong Family Chamber of Commerce, but because he had solidified the long-term deal with the Morning Star Academy, he was recognized by the higher-ups in the headquarters!
After all, this was a bulk purchase. Even if he quoted a low price, the Hong Family Chamber of Commerce would only suffer a reduction in profits, and would not suffer any losses. As long as they could make a small profit with a quick turnover, this in itself was a rare contribution.
Moreover, if they could take this opportunity to build a good relationship with a transcendent force like the Morning Star Academy, it would actually be of great benefit to the Hong Family Chamber of Commerce. This was something that could not be bought with spiritual jades.
On one hand, he was able to obtain a large amount of spiritual jades, and on the other hand, he was able to make a so-called "heroic contribution" to the Hong Family Chamber of Commerce. In these five years, Wei Zhaotong's days could only be described as a fish in water. He had even fantasized about directly being promoted from the branch's assistant shopkeeper to the branch's shopkeeper position!
However, Wei Zhaotong's wish did not come true in the end. He was promoted to the branch's shopkeeper position, but not in the East Continent's Gaolin Sea, but in the South Continent's Wei Arc Sea. To be continued
