The Divine Nun of the Eastern Sea was not a murderous demon after all. She had only killed Cheng Ketian last night because he had insulted her and threatened Huang Xiaotao. As her disciple, she naturally had to stand up for her disciple. However, today's matter had not reached the point where she needed to kill.
"Spare me, Headmaster of the Eastern Sea … I … I didn't say anything bad about the two ladies … I just felt that they might have been deceived … used …" Qin Deli was quick-witted and hurriedly seized the last chance to explain.
Hearing this, the killing intent on the Divine Nun of the Eastern Sea dissipated. In her heart, Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao were not unreasonable people, but it was not impossible to say that they had been deceived and used.
"You're slandering me!" Huang Xiaotao immediately panicked. This guy purposely said that the two of them had been used. He clearly wanted to turn the spearhead to Lin Yi. He really did not give up!
"That's right. You purposely tried to drive a wedge between us and Sister Xiaotao's senior. What are your intentions?" Wang Xinyan questioned coldly.
"No … it's not that. Please calm down. The world is dangerous. You may know a person's face but not his heart. That Ling Yi clearly knew that you were the direct disciples of Headmaster of the Eastern Sea Academy, but he still purposely brought you to the Hong Merchant Group. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that he was using the two of you …" Qin Deli said earnestly. "Using the tiger's skin as a flag, he clearly wanted to use the two of you to tie the Morning Star Academy to the Hong Merchant Group …"
As soon as he said this, the expressions of the three leaders changed slightly. From an outsider's point of view, this matter could indeed be interpreted in such a way. It was impossible for a single person to go against the Hong Chamber of Commerce. Ling Yiyi might really have such an intention by dragging Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao along.
Qin Deli was very observant and knew that his words had an effect. He hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and continued, "No matter who was right or wrong in the matter between the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency and the Hong Merchant Group, our Morning Star Academy has no need or reason to interfere. Furthermore, that Ling Yi used the excuse of investigating Wei Zhaotong. I would like to ask, where did a small escort like him get the right to do so? In the end. He was just avenging a personal grudge, yet he still used flowery words to deceive and use the two ladies. Such despicable people deserve to die! "
The three leaders nodded slightly. What Wei Zhaotong said made sense. Even if there was something wrong with Wei Zhaotong, it was up to the Hong Chamber of Commerce to deal with it. It was not up to an unrelated escort to come knocking on their door in the middle of the night to capture him!
"Humph, who said that Ling Yi isn't qualified?" Wang Xinyan glared at Qin Deli and said coldly, "He is the honorary vice president of the Hong Chamber of Commerce. Wei Zhaotong offended the higher-ups of his family. Shouldn't he clean up the family? "
"Honorary Vice Guild Leader? The three big shots all had a look of surprise on their faces. The Honorary Vice President of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, no matter where he went, he could not be considered a small figure. That Ling Yi looked ordinary and didn't reveal anything. They didn't expect him to have such an identity!
"That's just what he calls himself. If he's really the Honorary Vice President, how could he be a lowly escort in the Equal of Heaven Escort Agency? "Qin Deli hurriedly questioned.
"Several months ago, my senior brother and I were on the northern island. We even had a meal and chatted with the new vice president of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, Hong Zhong. Vice president Hong confirmed this to me in person. Are you trying to say that even I'm lying?" Huang Xiaotao said coldly.
"This …" Qin Deli immediately choked. He obviously wanted to say that, but when he sneaked a glance at the Divine Nun of the East Sea's expression, he could only force it back down. Doubting an outsider like Ling Yi was fine, but if he doubted Huang Xiaotao as well, then he would really be looking to die.
Ling Yuanqing and Wei Hebei looked at the Divine Nun of the East Sea at the same time. Up to this point, there was no point in arguing any further. They could only wait for the Divine Nun of the East Sea to make the decision herself.
"I believe my disciple won't lie," the Divine Nun of the East Sea said indifferently. Believing Huang Xiaotao was obviously equivalent to believing Ling Yi.
No one was surprised by this. She had always been a protective person. Between an outsider like Qin Deli and her own direct disciple, it was obvious who to choose. There was no suspense at all.
"Thank you, master." Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao hugged the Divine Nun of the East Sea happily, one on the left and one on the right.
Qin Deli's face was ashen. He was so gloomy that he almost coughed up blood again. He said rather reluctantly, "But …"
"Is there something else?" The Divine Nun of the East Sea did not give him the opportunity to speak at all. She directly interrupted him, "Why are you so nosy? Are you nosy, mother? You're the one complaining every time, and now you're even trying to accuse my disciple of lying. Do you not want to be a purchasing manager anymore? Or do you not want to stay in the academy anymore? "
"No, no, no … I'm fine now … I'll be taking my leave …" Qin Deli scrambled out of fright, hurriedly fleeing for his life from the room.
The Divine Nun of the East Sea was a major figure in the Mountain Establishment realm. She was definitely an existence who meant what she said. If he really angered her, not only would he lose his job, but he would even lose his life.
"Serves him right!" Looking at Qin Deli's sorry figure, Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao looked at each other and smiled. This crafty person was quite good at quibbling. It was a pity that in front of their master-disciple relationship with the Divine Nun of the East Sea, he was simply asking for humiliation. He deserved it!
The Morning Star Academy held the selection ceremony as scheduled, and the focus of the entire Weiwan City shifted to the selection ceremony. The discussions about the Hong Chamber of Commerce in the streets became much quieter, and with less attention from the outside world, there were naturally fewer disturbances.
The entire Hong Merchant Group also gradually returned to normal under Honest Chai's management. Everyone was no longer in fear and trepidation, and they gradually began to accept reality. The era of Wei Zhaotong had already passed, and the Velvet City branch was about to welcome a new beginning.
In these few days, aside from having people keep a close eye on Wei Zhaotong, Lin Yi did not idle around. Right now was the crucial period of investigating Wei Zhaotong. Apart from Honest Chai's account book, how much more decisive evidence could be found would depend on the harvest during this period of time.
Under Honest Chai's hard work, the harvest in these few days was not small. Seeing Wei Zhaotong's shameless and flawless business being dug out by Honest Chai, Lin Yi was overjoyed, but at the same time, he could not help but sigh in admiration.
Honest Chai was truly a talent. At least when it came to business management, auditing, and bookkeeping, this fellow could be said to be a true expert. In comparison, Wei Zhaotong's entry-level bookkeeping methods were simply child's play in front of him.
Very quickly, Honest Chai found the whereabouts of the 300,000 spiritual jades that the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency had compensated. Lin Yi immediately sent someone to inform Qi Wenhan.
