The shop assistant was drenched in sweat as if he had just walked through the gates of hell. It wasn't because he felt guilty, but because the invisible pressure from Lin Yi's body was too strong. As a shop assistant who didn't even have the strength of a Foundation Establishment Stage, he couldn't withstand it.
After a while, Honest Chai walked in quietly and stood in front of Lin Yi. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly as he lowered his head and whispered, "Vice Chairman, what instructions do you have for me?"
"I heard that your relationship with Wei Zhaotong isn't that good?" Lin Yi glanced at him and smiled mysteriously.
"Uh … this … there was a small misunderstanding in the past …" Honest Chai replied cautiously. He knew that Lin Yi must have heard this from the shop assistant just now. Moreover, it wasn't a bad thing to let the other party know about this. At least, he could clear himself of the suspicion of being in cahoots with Wei Zhaotong.
However, Honest Chai didn't know what Lin Yi was planning to do with Wei Zhaotong. Thus, he didn't dare to be happy too early.
"Small misunderstanding? A Vice Shopkeeper was made a mere figurehead and even had to recuperate for a month. You call this a small misunderstanding? You're quite a magnanimous person! "Lin Yi smiled and said," Let me ask you, do you have any evidence of Wei Zhaotong's crimes? "
He only asked this question after hearing the shop assistant's words. He originally wanted to find an honest person to help him manage the branch, but if he could use it to deal with Wei Zhaotong, then he would naturally be more than happy to do so.
"Evidence?" Honest Chai was taken aback and his expression became hesitant. He didn't know what to do and said, "I …"
"Do you have it or not? Cut the crap." Lin Yi directly cut him off. Wei Zhaotong's matter had to be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this dragged on for too long, there might be some unexpected changes.
Wei Zhaotong wasn't a fool. While he was doing bad things, he also wanted to ensure his safety. He would definitely drag a lot of people down with him. Among them might be the higher-ups of the Hong Chamber of Commerce's headquarters or other influential figures. By the time these people reacted and interfered, the pressure that Lin Yi would face would be as great as a mountain.
If things really developed to that point, unless he let go, he would become enemies with a large group of people because of an insignificant Wei Zhaotong. With Lin Yi's personality, it was impossible for him to lower his head to these people. But he didn't want any unexpected twists and turns.
Because in his plan, someone else would take over this matter, and he wouldn't be the one to carry it out to the end. Even if it was for the sake of the person who would take over, he had to cut the Gordian knot and control the impact to the minimum.
Being stared at by Lin Yi at such a close distance, Honest Chai, who was already trembling in fear, became even more fearful. His back was already soaked in cold sweat.
Back then, he had killed his way up from the mortal world. In the year after arriving at Heaven Stage Island, he had encountered all sorts of fortuitous encounters and his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. Even Lin Yi himself didn't realize that his aura was so much stronger than it used to be.
Furthermore, although he looked calm normally, deep down in his bones. Lin Yi was an extremely powerful person, and his aura was equally oppressive. If it wasn't for the fact that he always kept a low profile, he wouldn't have been able to do anything. If he didn't keep a low profile, normal people wouldn't be able to stand in front of him. Even Golden Core experts of the same level would feel as though they were standing next to an overlord level beast, trembling in fear as though they were walking on thin ice.
Honest Chai had a deep understanding of this feeling. Although Wei Zhaotong had always been overbearing, he relied on all sorts of sinister methods to intimidate others. As for this Ling Yi in front of him, he only needed to stand there and look at you. He did not even need to do anything and you would not be able to endure it.
"I … have …" Honest Chai originally didn't want to reveal everything, but he really couldn't withstand Lin Yi's pressure. He could only grit his teeth and admit it. Otherwise, if he really didn't reveal it, he couldn't guarantee that this fiendish person in front of him wouldn't take care of him as well.
"Let me have a look." Lin Yi's eyes lit up. He was just trying to ask on a whim, but he didn't expect that he really had it. This was an unexpected surprise.
"Yes, please wait a moment." At this point, Honest Chai didn't have any more hesitation. Seeing Lin Yi nod his head, he immediately returned to his room to look for the evidence that he had secretly collected.
No matter how honest or cowardly a person was, they would still have a temper. After being bullied by Wei Zhaotong for so many years, he was originally a vice shopkeeper of a branch, but now, he was just a mere figurehead. He was even beaten up to recuperate for an entire month. If Honest Chai could really swallow this humiliation, he would probably be able to become an immortal.
Thus, all these years, Honest Chai didn't participate in anything, turning a blind eye to everything. Wherever Wei Zhaotong went, he would hide. However, he had always been secretly collecting evidence, waiting for an opportunity.
It was a pity that Wei Zhaotong had people protecting him in the middle island headquarters, and he had never met any of the higher ups, not to mention having a powerful backer. Even if he had a pile of evidence in his hands, he didn't dare to make a move.
There was no other reason. If you don't kill a snake, you will be harmed instead. He, Honest Chai, would not be able to withstand Wei Zhaotong's counterattack. Even though he felt wronged, it was better to live than to die.
A moment later, Honest Chai returned with an account book in his hands.
"This is the evidence?" Lin Yi glanced at Honest Chai and casually flipped through the account book. He was instantly baffled, because the method of accounting was very unique, and could even be said to be messy. After all, different professions are worlds apart, and Lin Yi had never studied in this field before, so he couldn't see through it.
"Yes." Honest Chai carefully observed Lin Yi's expression. This evidence was the fruit of his many years of hard work, and it was a powerful weapon that could topple Wei Zhaotong. However, the prerequisite was that it must land in the hands of a powerful character.
After all, the evidence was dead, while the person was alive. If it was an ordinary person, even if they had this evidence, it would be useless. This was because Wei Zhaotong could make use of his backer in the middle island headquarters to make this evidence into a false one.
It was also because of this that Honest Chai didn't dare to take out the evidence. He was afraid that Ling One's capabilities were not enough, and he was even more afraid that this so-called Honorary Vice President was not real, and was just a liar.
However, worrying was one thing, and Honest Chai was ultimately not a daring person. In front of Lin Yi's prestige, he had no choice but to speak the truth.
Lin Yi flipped through the account book and looked at it again and again. He turned to Honest Chai and said, "Tell me, what is written in this account book? What is the evidence of Wei Zhaotong's crimes?"
The customs of the Heaven Island followed the ancient customs, and the numbers used in this account book were not the Arabic numerals used in the secular world, but the most standardized methods of calculation. Floating Astronomy.
