It's all that idiot Cheng Ketian's fault. He's hopelessly stupid. Not only did he seek his own death, he almost dragged me down with him. I must have been blind to work with such an idiot!
Wei Zhaotong was still feeling gloomy and afraid when he saw the shop assistant running in with a panicked face, claiming that someone was here to cause trouble …
"What are you guys doing?!" Wei Zhaotong hurriedly followed the shop assistant out. After seeing Lin Yi and the others, he was stunned.
"What are we doing?!" Lin Yi looked at him, crossed his arms, and smiled, "That depends on how you interpret it. We're here to investigate you, Shopkeeper Wei, for breaking the law. Of course, from your point of view, we're here to cause trouble." "You're right, Shopkeeper Wei.
They were really f * cking wrecking the place! Wei Zhaotong's mouth twitched. He could ignore Lin Yi, but he did not dare to underestimate Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao. These two were the direct disciples of the Divine Nun of the Eastern Sea. If he offended them, it was equivalent to offending the Divine Nun of the Eastern Sea. That was not a joke. Cheng Ketian's tragic death was a living example.
Therefore, even if the other party said that they were causing trouble, as long as the situation did not develop beyond control, Wei Zhaotong could only pretend that he did not hear it.
"Investigating me for violating the law?" Wei Zhaotong pretended to be shocked. "Did I hear wrongly? Although your Morning Star Academy has a high status, there's no reason for you to interfere with the Hong Merchant Association's business. I'm afraid this is against the rules, right? Do the seniors in the academy know what you're doing? Moreover, what have I done to violate the law? "
A series of rhetorical questions, coupled with Wei Zhaotong's shocked and innocent expression, could easily fool a normal person. However, Lin Yi and the others obviously did not care about him.
"You're right. The Morning Star Academy cannot interfere. They have no reason to interfere with you, but I can. " As Lin Yi spoke, he suddenly took out a beautiful purple gold jade pendant. The words "Hong Merchant Association" could be vaguely seen in the center of the jade.
The others did not understand, but Wei Zhaotong only took a look, and his expression changed. He was immediately stunned.
This was an extremely rare Purple Gold Jade. Even though it was just a small piece, it would fetch at least tens of thousands of spirit jades in an auction. Or even more. Wei Zhaotong had seen many good things, but the problem was that this Purple Gold Jade Pendant had a special meaning in the Hong Chamber of Commerce.
In the Hong Consortium's Chamber of Commerce, as long as one was a high-ranking member of the Vice President level, they would all have a jade pendant that could prove their identity. The President was Mo Jinyu. The Vice President was Lan Jinyu, and this Purple Jinyu represented the non-staff higher-ups who had made special contributions to the Hong Chamber of Commerce. In other words, he was the Honorary Vice President!
Because these three types of golden jades were extremely rare, and the Hong Chamber of Commerce's unique array was specially set up inside, it was impossible for outsiders to imitate it. Therefore, as long as he took it out, no matter which branch he went to, it would be enough to prove his identity.
However, the existence of the Purple Gold Jade Pendant in the Hong Clan Chamber of Commerce could only be clearly told to those who had reached the level of a branch manager. As for ordinary guest experts or ordinary workers and manservants, they might not be able to see it in their entire lives due to their low level. Most of them knew nothing about this.
"What exactly do you want?" Wei Zhaotong's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. He asked calmly as he quickly thought of a way to deal with it.
He had acquaintances in the headquarters and knew that Hong Zhong had recently been promoted to Vice President. At the same time, there was also an Honorary Vice President. However, he never expected that Lin Yi was actually this mysterious Honorary Vice President!
"Hehe, Manager Wei seems to be someone who knows his stuff. You know what this Purple Gold Jade Pendant represents. Then I won't beat around the bush. As the Honorary Vice President of the Hong Clan Chamber of Commerce, I announce that I am taking over this branch. Everyone, including Wei Zhaotong, will be investigated by me! "Lin Yi announced loudly.
There was an uproar in the Hong Clan Chamber of Commerce. Everyone looked at each other. What was going on? Why did an Honorary Vice President suddenly appear and want to investigate the entire branch?
Not only the staff. Even the two Foreign Chamberlains who were in charge of this place had shock in their eyes. They did not know about the Purple Gold Jade Pendant, but at least they knew that the Honorary Vice President was indeed someone who could take over the entire branch at a critical moment!
Wei Zhaotong saw everyone's reaction and panicked. He knew that he had to react quickly. Otherwise, once everyone accepted this fact, he would never be able to turn the tables again.
"Men, arrest this fella who is pretending to be the Honorary Vice President!" Wei Zhaotong made a prompt decision and shouted, "This person is clearly called Ling Yi, a mere escort from the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. How could he be the Honorary Vice President of the Hong Clan Chamber of Commerce? The name on this jade pendant is clearly written as Lin Yi! This person is pretending to be a senior member of the headquarters. He must have ulterior motives! "
As soon as he said that, everyone looked at Lin Yi suspiciously. What kind of person was the honorary vice president? Why would he be a lowly escort at the Equal's Escort Agency? Wei Zhaotong was right, this person was an imposter!
One of them was the shopkeeper of his own branch, an absolute superior. The other was a lowly escort from the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency, a nobody. To the people present, it was clear at a glance who they should trust. There was no need to hesitate at all.
However, for the other ordinary staff, no matter who they believed, it would not affect the outcome. This was because they were weak and would never participate in battles.
On the Heavenly Stage Island, no matter what happened, the only thing that could truly decide the outcome was strength. Only the person with the biggest fist would be able to laugh at the end.
Wei Zhaotong was well aware of this. Hence, his words were not directed at the others, but at the two Original Infant Stage guest experts.
With that, the two guest experts believed him as expected. They immediately unleashed their Qi and stood to the left and right of Lin Yi's group, eyeing them covetously. Together with Wei Zhaotong, who was also a Original Infant Stage expert, they had already surrounded Lin Yi's group. Once they began fighting later, they would have the advantage just by standing there.
"Ling Yi, even if you really can deal with Original Infant Stage experts, there are three Original Infant Stage experts here including me. Do you really think you can do anything to me?" Wei Zhaotong sneered and refused to give up. "I'd advise you to be a little more sensible and back off. I can pretend that nothing happened today. That way, not only will you lose your life, but you'll also drag down the two great disciples of the Divine Nun of the Eastern Sea."
