"This identity token can only prove that you're a survivor of the qiushui Manor at most. Why would you die without a burial place if it's exposed?" Lin Yi asked, confused. "Boss Lin Yi, you should know that this case shocked the entire Hall of Justice back then, but it ended up with nothing, right? it's such a big case, do you really think that the Hall of Justice wouldn't be able to find out who's behind it with their capabilities?" "Continue." Lin Yi said without changing his expression. When he had heard his miserable senior brother's story, he had the same doubts. It was impossible for the entire qiushui Manor's one thousand five hundred and forty people to be exterminated without leaving any clues. If the law enforcement Hall really wanted to investigate, it should not be difficult to find the real murderer. However, after a few months of investigation, there was no conclusion. Such an outcome was really thought-provoking. "It's not that they can't continue the investigation, but that they don't dare to. The biggest mastermind is the top boss of the Council of Elders of the three pavilions!" Li Zhengming clenched his teeth and looked at Lin Yi,"Boss Lin Yi, you're also wondering why I'm using a fake name, right? The reason is very simple, because the biggest mastermind is surnamed li. I need to use this fake name to constantly remind myself that I'm carrying the blood feud of 1540 people!" Lin Yi finally understood. If that was the case, li Zhengming's identity card would be exposed, and he would die without a burial place. The big boss of the elder Council with the surname Li would never allow li Zhengming to escape the net. In other words, if all this was true, li Zhengming handing over the tag meant that he was putting his life in Lin Yi's hands. If he had any other thoughts, Lin Yi could kill him at any time, even if Meng jueguang and the others protected him. "Alright, I believe you." Lin Yi finally nodded. It would be a bit too much if he didn't do anything after li Zhengming's words, unless he didn't want li Zhengming as a spy from the beginning. However, the reality was that he needed Lee Zheng Ming to be his spy, and Lee Zheng Ming had also shown enough sincerity. Now that things had developed to this point, the two of them naturally hit it off. Li Zhengming couldn't help but be overjoyed, but before he could feel the joy of surviving a disaster, Lin Yi threw the identity card back to him, his heart trembling,"Boss Lin Yi, what's the meaning of this?" Lin Yi smiled, nonchalant."Since I've already believed that you're sincere in joining me, I don't need this cumbersome material. After all, if you're determined to betray me in the future, then there's no point in me holding onto this identity card." This was the truth. Although this identity card was a fatal threat to Lee Zheng Ming, if he really wanted to find a way, it was still possible to get rid of the restriction of this identity card. But even so, Lin Yi's action still made li Zhengming feel flattered and quickly expressed his loyalty,"Thank you for boss Lin Yi's trust. I, li Zhengming, swear to the heavens that no matter what happens in the future, I won't have any disloyal thoughts. If I break my oath, may the heavens and earth destroy me!" "Hehe ... I don't believe in oaths, I only believe in my own strength. I'll say the ugly things first, if you have any disloyal thoughts in the future, I'll take your life as easily as turning my hand over. At that time, no one will be able to save you, do you understand?" As he spoke, Lin Yi's aura as a peak-level early Foundation Stage practitioner was released, causing the entire cave to tremble. "I understand." Lee Zheng Ming quickly kneeled on the ground. "Alright, you can get up." Lin Yi nodded faintly. "Yes." Li Zhengming quickly got up. He was injured, but Lin Yi didn't use any martial arts when he hit him, so he was still able to stand. Lin Yi pondered for a while before ordering,"When you return, report to Meng jueguang that I am now in the early Foundation establishment stage. Do you understand what I mean?" Li Zhengming blinked as he quickly understood what Lin Yi was trying to say. He nodded,"I understand." If he went back and reported to Meng jueguang that Lin Yi was still Sky Class full phase, he'd be exposed in the ranking competition, although it'd be the best way to hide his strength in the short term. It was better to reveal Lin Yi's strength to Meng jueguang first-this way, he wouldn't reveal Lin Yi's trump card, and he'd be able to gain people's trust. This way, he'd be able to last long as a spy. "Then ... Boss Lin Yi, I'll be leaving first." Li Zhengming said as he looked at Lin Yi. He'd been in the cave for a while now, and it'd be suspicious if he stayed here for too long. "Wait a moment." Lin Yi suddenly stopped him and passed him a piece of spiritual Jade. "Didn't you say you wanted to exchange it for spirit Jade? After all, this is the reason you came in. If you return empty-handed, Meng jueguang and the others will definitely question you, right?" "This ..." Lee Zheng Ming could not help but be a little stunned. He hesitated for a long time before he stammered,""Boss Lin Yi, there's something I have to tell you. You have to be mentally prepared. You have to hold on." Lin Yi knew what he was going to say with one look at his face. He couldn't help but laugh,"Alright, if you have something to say, just say it." "T-then, didn't a lot of people come to you to exchange for spiritual Jade? actually, it was Meng jueguang who gave us a pile of useless Jade and asked us to use the useless Jade to cheat you of your good Jade. In other words, you used more than ten good jades to exchange for a pile of worthless useless Jade. You were tricked by Meng jueguang ..." Lee Zhengming said with an embarrassed look. In fact, he had always been puzzled about this matter. As far as he was concerned, with Lin Yi's shrewdness, there was no way he couldn't even tell the difference between good Jade and useless Jade, getting tricked again and again by these people with the same excuse. Even when he intentionally revealed a few flaws before, Lin Yi didn't react at all! "I know," Lin Yi chuckled,"I knew it was a scam from the start." "Ha? "Then why did you ..." Lee Zhengming was dumbfounded. Who would still cooperate with the scam even though they knew it was a scam? Lin Yi smiled faintly,"I collect useless jades for a special purpose. In comparison, I don't really rely on good jades, so I'm happy to cooperate with you. I can't wait for you to give me more useless jades!" "So that's how it is! No wonder I kept feeling that something was wrong!" Lee Zheng Ming finally understood and heaved a sigh of relief,""I knew that with boss Lin Yi's intelligence, how could he not see through such a simple scam! Then I'll encourage Meng jueguang to exchange Jade with you more often in the future!" (To be continued.)
