Chapter 3998: Chapter 3996-repeated questioning
Translator: 549690339
“Just through the two Supreme-grade foundation-building golden cores and that box, he has the confidence to determine that I am Lin er. Moreover, he dared to come out to smooth things over for me at this critical time. This time, I really owe him a big favor!” Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel grateful.
Lin Yi and Hong Zhong looked at each other from a hundred meters away and nodded in tacit agreement.
Even Xu lingchong was dumbfounded to see Hong Zhong personally vouch for Lin Yi.
Previously, when he was facing manager Ling Hua, Xu lingchong at least had the thought of paying his respects. But when facing Hong Zhong, the big boss of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, he really didn’t have the guts to question him.
As the full power representative of the Hong Chamber of Commerce in the North Island, in terms of power and status, Hong Zhong was not inferior to any of the elders and high-level executives of the three pavilions. He was not inferior even to his grandfather Xu Yuanzheng.
Even if Xu lingchong had a few more guts, he would definitely not dare to question Hong Zhong in such a public place in front of so many important figures. If he dared to do so, there could only be one end in the end, and that was to humiliate himself.
But not questioning Hong Zhong in front of him didn’t mean he’d let Lin Yi go so easily.
An idea came to Xu lingchong’s mind as he turned to Lin Yi,”Since elder Hong has personally come out as a witness, then I no longer doubt the authenticity and origin of these two extreme quality foundation Stage golden cores. However, I’d like to hear, Lin Yi, where did you get so many spirit jades to buy these two extreme quality foundation Stage golden cores as a mere GreenCloud Pavilion newcomer?”
If there was no reasonable explanation for this problem, it would be equally fatal.
Generally speaking, there were only two sources of spiritual Jade for newcomers. One was the monthly stipend given to them by the welcoming new pavilion, but there was only one piece. The other was obtained through some low-level tasks, such as mining in the spiritual Jade Hall. Although the return was higher than the stipend, it was still pitifully little.
Two peak-grade foundation-level golden elixirs cost at least a few thousand spirit jades-a newbie wouldn’t be able to afford it, and Lin Yi was a newbie from the common world, too. He didn’t have any background at all, so there had to be something fishy about this!
However, Lin Yi was burning with rage! If he had the strength and wasn’t a newbie, who would dare to ask him this? There were so many people who had given gifts, but no one had asked about the origin of the gifts, much less the origin of the spiritual Jade. However, Xu lingchong had made things difficult for him time and time again. Relying on his identity as the eldest senior brother in charge and his grandfather’s power, few people had interfered.
Hong Zhong wanted to be a good person to the end and help Lin Yi avoid this problem. After all, if Lin Yi fell for this problem, his protection before would be for naught, and he might even be implicated.
However, before he could speak, Lin Yi replied without hesitation,””About this, Meng jueguang had previously organized a large group of people from top to bottom. For some reason, they came to me of their own accord to give me spiritual Jade. They exchanged three for one or four, saying that my spiritual Jade was good and that it could be used to carve a spiritual jade carving for miss Shangguan. With so many people rushing to give me spiritual Jade, it’s only natural that I have more and more on hand.”
Xu lingchong was stunned when he heard this. He had vaguely heard about this from his subordinates before, but he did not pay much attention to it at that time and did not ask Meng jueguang about the specific situation.
“Even if Meng jueguang wanted to make a spiritual jade carving, he would only need one or two pieces. How could he let a large group of people rush to give you spiritual Jade? do you think they are all fools?” Xu lingchong’s mind turned as she sneered.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, shrugged his shoulders calmly, “I’m not sure if they’re really idiots, but that’s the name they used when they came to me in exchange for the spiritual Jade. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you ask Meng jueguang? He’s the one who organized this, and he’s also the one who’s the most diligent in replacing them. Only he knows the reason!”
“F * ck!” Xu lingchong couldn’t help but curse in front of everyone. Under everyone’s stunned gazes, he forcefully swallowed the second half of his sentence. ‘You motherf * cker, Meng jueguang’s already dead without even a corpse left. Why the hell am I asking?’
This time, Xu lingchong was truly helpless. With Meng jueguang’s death, the dead could not testify.
Regarding the exchange of spirit jades, other than Lin Yi himself, only lingchong and Zhaoming had heard of it. But because they weren’t involved in it, they didn’t know the details.
The two only knew that Meng jueguang and his men were probably exchanging wasted Jade for good Jade in Lin Yi’s hands, and it was impossible for them to come to Lin Yi’s door and give him spirit Jade like Lin Yi said. After all, Meng jueguang and his men were no idiots!
However, if he wanted to expose Lin Yi’s lie, he would have to confront the person who exchanged the spiritual Jade with him, and that wasn’t easy.
Firstly, these people were not at the scene. There were so many important people present that it was impossible for them to wait here for such a small matter. Secondly, even if they found these people now, it would be difficult to make them tell the truth in public.
One must know that the three pavilions and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance had explicitly prohibited the fraud of trading waste Jade as good Jade. Once it was exposed, one would be severely punished. Who dared to take such a risk?
Seeing that Xu lingchong couldn’t say anything for a long time, Shangguan LAN ‘er finally found an opportunity to defend Lin Yi,”You can’t say anything now, can you? you’re actually suspicious of this young lady’s little Junior Brother. I wonder who’s the one with a guilty conscience, Hmph!”
Xu lingchong was speechless. As much as he didn’t want to let Lin Yi escape, he knew that it would be hard to kill him now even if he continued to hold on to his weakness.
There was only one reason. The big shots present were no longer on his side. If he continued to pester them, not only would they not appreciate him, but they would also hate him. The gains did not make up for the loss.
The root of all this was none other than one person, Hong Zhong.
In fact, most of the people present could see that Lin Yi’s last explanation about the source of the spiritual Jade was full of unknown mysteries. It was very hard to explain the source of thousands of spiritual jades just from this point alone.
If Hong Zhong didn’t show up, they might have wanted to dig deeper, but now they realized that this Lin Yi wasn’t as weak as he looked. Since it didn’t concern him, why let Xu lingchong use him as a weapon and offend Hong Zhong for no reason? [Murloc is in waiwei Yuren22.
