Chapter 4005: Don't Come Unharmed
Today's incident, although Xu Lingchong is purely to blame, if Xu Lingchong goes back and fabricates another version and portrays himself as a victim, the matter will not be clear, and it is not impossible for Xu Yuanzheng to come forward to Shangguan Tianhua for the sake of him, a grandson who has high hopes.
However, Shangguan Lan'er rolled her eyes and said firmly: "Little junior brother, you don't understand, a nasty ghost like Xu Lingchong only thinks about how to take over the position all day long, and the others are all floating clouds, so he definitely doesn't dare to tell his family about this matter today, on the contrary, he has to hide it everywhere, for fear that the family will know that he has become a eunuch, hehe!"
Indeed, if his grandfather Xu Yuanzheng knew about it, it was estimated that he would be reduced to a marginal figure from now on. Lin Yi nodded in agreement.
This is not difficult to understand, no family will let a eunuch take over the power, this is undoubtedly a thing.
What's more, even if Xu Lingchong said the matter, it would not be of any benefit to himself, but there would be a huge risk, because Shangguan Tianhua would never ignore the matter of his only granddaughter.
"So, I don't have to tell my grandfather about this, otherwise Senior Sister and Xiaobai and I will be unlucky, and we don't know how long we will be locked up. Shangguan Lan'er stuck out her tongue and said.
Lin Yi laughed when he heard this, no wonder this girl said so insightfully, the root of her daring is here, this little sister's intelligence has always been selective.
Xu Lingchong disappeared, looking at the pool of blood in the corner, Shangguan Lan'er felt a little disgusted, and pulled Lin Yi downstairs after a while.
When the two went downstairs, the banquet was just in full swing, and many big people were staggered, gathering together in twos and threes, and making friends with each other. Talking loudly, full of red light.
Looking at the audience, Lin Yi paid more attention to several groups of people, Nan Tianba was flattering around Xu Yuanzheng, and the law enforcement hall master Ram Jie, the youngest and shining of all the big names present, was nowhere to be seen at the moment, this kind of rare and important occasion, for some reason, left the scene early.
In this regard, Lin Yi had some inexplicable doubts in his heart. However, thinking of Ram Jie's arrogance, it is not a strange thing to leave the table without permission on such an occasion.
"For a banquet of this scale, has the Ram Hall Master always left the table so early?" Lin Yi turned his head to Shangguan Lan'er and asked.
Shangguan Lan'er thought for a while, shook her head and said: "No, he is the master of the law enforcement hall, and his duty is to guard the order, so he usually leaves it until the end, unless he encounters special circumstances, he will leave early." What's wrong?"
"Is there a special case...... It's nothing, just ask. Lin Yi smiled.
Just when Lin Yi was secretly suspicious in his heart, an old acquaintance came up to him, and it was the Hong Chamber of Commerce's North Island plenipotentiary agent. Hong Zhong.
"Lin Shaoxia, don't come unharmed. Hong Zhong had a gentle smile on his face, but what he said had a deep meaning.
"Shopkeeper Hong. Don't come unharmed, thank you for breaking the siege today. Lin Yi smiled faintly.
A simple one-sentence conversation, both sides have tacit understanding. Lin Yi confessed his identity to Hong Zhong, after all, if he wasn't Lin Er, he would never have seen Hong Zhong at all, so it was naturally impossible to talk about this sentence.
Although he was ninety percent sure that Lin Yi was Lin Er from the time Hong Zhong came forward to relieve Lin Yi just now, it was one thing for him to speculate privately, but it was another thing for Lin Yi to admit it to his face.
If Lin Yi doesn't admit it, then the favor he took to help solve the siege just now may be in vain, and of course, from now on, Lin Yi's character and value evaluation will also be lowered by a notch.
Fortunately, Lin Yi was not ungrateful, so he didn't give him such a chance.
Hong Zhong's eyes lit up, he looked at Nan Tianba and a few people in the distance, and sighed: "Lin Shaoxia is really a master of art and bold, a strong enemy, and he dares to show up on this occasion, the old man has to say a word, admire." ”
"What should come will come after all, and sooner or later, it can only be stopped by soldiers. Lin Yi said indifferently.
To be honest, so many things suddenly happened today, he didn't expect it in advance, if he had known that this was the case, this birthday banquet would really have to think about whether to risk it or not.
However, now everything that should have happened and what shouldn't have happened has happened, no matter how much you regret it, Lin Yi's current mentality is that there are more lice and don't worry, or rather, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water.
In the final analysis, there has never been anything absolutely safe in the cultivation world, threats will always exist, but they are just big and small, and it is better to take the initiative to deal with them than to blindly avoid them, Lin Yi has long been aware of this.
"Lin Shaoxia is so courageous, but if you need it, you might as well tell the old man, although the old man is an old bone, it can still come in handy to deal with a small one. Hong Zhong said with a smile.
"Then thank you for the kindness of Shopkeeper Hong. Lin Yi said lightly, he doesn't need to rely on external forces for the time being, at least not until his identity is discovered.
After saying a few words to Lin Yi, Hong Zhong didn't stay here too much, after all, his identity represented the Hong Chamber of Commerce, and he was one of the few popular people in the audience.
At this sensitive occasion, his contact with Lin Yi can only be reached at most, otherwise if he is too favored, it will not be helping Lin Yi, but harming Lin Yi.
After that, the birthday banquet has become a complete power event for high-level figures, and it has nothing to do with a small person like Lin Yi, and after being forcibly pulled and stranded by Shangguan Lan'er for a while, Lin Yi finally left the venue early.
Rather than watching the power games of these big shots, Lin Yi would rather go back to the cave to practice, which would at least make him feel more down-to-earth, maybe one day in the future he will also become a member of the big shots present, but at least for now, he has no interest in these bullshit things.
Now, Xu Lingchong has completely become an undying enemy, after being made into a eunuch by a pair of scissors, it is unimaginable what kind of revenge he will make in the future, before he will follow the rules of the game of the three major pavilions, but after that, it is difficult to say, he may not be able to do things like sneak attacks and assassinations with his own hands.
In addition, the threat of Nan Tianba's gang has also increased significantly, and Lin Yi can clearly feel that their suspicions about themselves have returned.
Therefore, Lin Yi's current situation can be described as unprecedented danger, only by constantly improving his strength can he calmly deal with these crises that may erupt at any time in the future, and for this reason, he must cultivate unremittingly. (To be continued......)
