During this period of time, apart from being busy with the Hong Chamber of Commerce's affairs, he had also specially transferred two men from Weiwan City to keep an eye on the Poison Eye Mercenary Group's every move, just in case.
After all, Cheng Ketian was dead. He was the young master of the Poison Eye Mercenaries. Although Cheng Haonan wouldn't dare to seek revenge against the Divine Nun of the Eastern Sea, he had died in the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. Coupled with the past grievances between the two, it was hard to say if he wouldn't seek revenge against the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency.
Lin Yi had people keep an eye on the Poison Eye Mercenaries so that he could know their movements in advance. That way, he could respond quickly. He didn't expect Cheng Haonan to cooperate with the Dragon Boat Agency instead of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency.
"Brother Ling is right. They are not friendly. The Heaven's Equal Escort Agency has always upheld the principle of being kind to others in the Weiwan Territorial Waters. After all, one more friend means one more path, and one more enemy means one more wall. However, we have two enemies that we've been suppressing all these years. They are the Poison Eye Mercenaries and the Dragon Boat Agency!" Qi Wenhan nodded.
"Brother Qi, can you guess their intentions for joining forces now?" Lin Yi asked.
"The South Continent Escort Agency Festival is about to begin. If I'm not mistaken, they are joining forces to push the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency out of the five major escort agencies." Qi Wenhan did not treat Lin Yi as an outsider and analyzed everything in detail.
The Heaven's Equal Escort Agency was one of the top five escort agencies in the South Continent. Even though it was ranked last, it was still the largest in the Verdant Arc Territorial Waters. However, the Dragon Boat Escort Agency was unwilling to be left out. Now that they had suddenly made such a move, it was obvious that they wanted to take over.
"So. This South Continent Escort Agency Festival will have to be handled carefully. " He wasn't sure what the Dragonboat Escort Agency's style was, but the Poison Eye Mercenaries were definitely up to no good. They were using this opportunity to take revenge on the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. Who knew what sort of dirty tricks they'd come up with?
"Brother Ling, this is a serious matter. I must go back and make arrangements. I can't stay. Please forgive me. "Qi Wenhan was restless and couldn't continue drinking tea with Lin Yi. He immediately stood up and said goodbye.
"Okay, I'll go back and take a look when I have time. I won't keep you here today." Lin Yi immediately stood up to send him off. After sending off Qi Wenhan, who had a heavy heart, he turned to the shop assistant and asked, "I asked you to inquire about Wu Bao Liang and Lu Bianren. Is there any news?"
He didn't just send people to keep an eye on the Poison Eye Mercenary Group. At the same time, he was also inquiring about Wu Bao Liang and Lu Bianren. Although he had already asked Qi Wenhan for help, one more way meant one more possibility.
"Not yet." The waiter shook his head.
"Alright, you can leave now." Lin Yi waved his hand. This kind of thing couldn't be rushed. Even the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency's network of contacts had not yielded any news after such a long time. It was obvious that it was not easy to find them.
At this time, Honest Chai walked over with a letter in his hand. He passed it to Lin Yi excitedly, "Vice President Hong's letter has arrived!"
"Oh? So fast? " Lin Yi was taken aback. The distance from the south island to the north island was more than ten thousand miles. In addition, Hong Zhong's reaction time after receiving the letter, even if it was just a simple communication back and forth, he still hadn't gone to the middle island to negotiate with the higher-ups of the headquarters. It shouldn't be so fast, right? It had only been a few days?
"Hehe, you might not know this, but our Hong Merchant Association has a specialized teleportation channel. Although it isn't like those high-grade teleportation channels that can transport people together, it's not a problem to transport some important resources. We usually use this channel to send messages, so we don't need to rely on flying spirit beasts. It's not just our Hong Merchant Association, other top forces also have such channels, but ordinary forces don't have them. "Honest Chai explained with a smile.
"I see." Lin Yi nodded in realization. Any teleportation channel was a strategic resource, even if it was just a simple material transport channel. It was like a treasure ship, a symbol of top forces. Ordinary forces shouldn't even think about using it.
However, even if the time needed to send a letter was saved, the fact that Hong Zhong could respond so quickly showed that he was very concerned about this matter.
Honest Chai waited impatiently by the side. Lin Yi smiled, he knew that Honest Chai was anxious to know the result. At this moment, he definitely wasn't in the mood to do anything else, so he opened the letter and read through it.
In the letter, Hong Zhong's first sentence was an apology. Although Wei Zhaotong only started to change in recent years, with Hong Zhong's eyesight, he couldn't help but say that he had eyes but failed to see for making such a mistake. He actually almost introduced this scum to Lin Yi as a friend.
It was fortunate that Lin Yi didn't use Hong Zhong's name to befriend Wei Zhaotong. Otherwise, with Wei Zhaotong's wily style, he would definitely not let him know about these matters. Even now, he might still be in the dark and still think that Wei Zhaotong was a kind and honest person.
Hong Zhong's attitude in the letter, on the other hand, made Lin Yi quite happy. He approved of everything Lin Yi did against Wei Zhaotong with both hands and feet.
This was actually very rare. After all, he had never been to the Weiqian Territorial Waters. Everything he knew, including the evidence in the account book, was actually just Lin Yi's side of the story.
On one side, it was Lin Yi whom he had just met, and on the other side, it was his old friend of many years. If it was someone else, they would probably have a hard time deciding. But for Hong Zhong to express his stance so clearly, other than being a reasonable person, it also showed his unreserved trust in Lin Yi.
"How … how is it?" Honest Chai was a little impatient and asked cautiously. The Hong Merchant Guild's decision on how to deal with Wei Zhaotong would directly determine his future.
Especially if they couldn't deal with Wei Zhaotong this time, when Wei Zhaotong recovered, he might not dare to do anything to the Honorary Vice President Lin Yi, but dealing with a mere Honest Chai was more than enough. At that time, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he might not even be able to keep his life!
"I can't say." Lin Yi shook his head helplessly.
"Ah?" Honest Chai's heart instantly fell into an ice cellar, and his hands and feet instantly turned cold. He was originally a cowardly and honest person. This time, he stood out to testify against Wei Zhaotong because he was forced to do so. Since things had already reached this point, he could only walk down the dark path with no room for regret. If he couldn't suppress Wei Zhaotong to death this time, then he would really be finished.
"Hong Zhong said in the letter that this time's matter is rather troublesome. There are people from the Middle Island Headquarters who are trying to protect Wei Zhaotong. He has already used his position as the Honorary Vice President and my position as the Honorary Vice President to put pressure on the Headquarters, but there is no way to punish Wei Zhaotong." Lin Yi smiled bitterly.
