Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 11230: Chapter 11228: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!

That’s right, the person who rescued Heaven Duke was Xia Qiyuan.

The rumored disciple of Xia Chao who killed his master was destined to become Lin Yi’s most important chess piece ever since he was recruited by Guan Zhengxuan.

Of course, this chess piece didn’t listen to Lin Yi, and he couldn’t control it as he pleased.

However, it was one thing to be unable to command him, but it was another matter to be able to use him.

There were many things that Xia Qiyuan could not refuse to cooperate with.

It would be of great value to Lin Yi’s plan to get him into Elysium, and today was a rare opportunity.

Everyone, including Wei Zhesheng, thought that the big fish that Lin Yi had set up was Heaven Duke. Little did they know that the big fish in Lin Yi’s eyes was the whole of Elysium.

Lin Yi walked up to the charred Qiu Wanzhang and squatted down, pressing his palm on his forehead.

In the next second, Qiu Wanzhang, who had already turned cold, suddenly regained his vitality.

The charred skin on his body faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into new flesh and skin. His aura was not the slightest bit weaker than before, but instead, it had become even stronger!

Lin Yi observed the scene with interest and tsked.

” Thank you, Young Master.” Qiu Wanzhang quickly bowed.” If it weren’t for you, I would have died long ago.”

His Death Calamity Secret Skill was indeed special.

Every time he died, his overall strength would increase greatly.

The most important thing was that he had to have a way to ensure that he could come back to life after dying.

Without this ability, no matter how powerful the Death Calamity Secret Technique was, it was useless.

If Lin Yi didn’t set up a trap on him, he’d be a burnt corpse right now.

If he couldn’t pass the death tribulation, everything would be for nothing.

“You’ve done a lot of work this time,” Lin Yi said with a smile.”You should join the Safety Inspection Division in the future. You can be my assistant.”

“Thank you, Young Master!”

Qiu Wanzhang’s face lit up. From the moment he was persuaded by Lin Yi, he knew that everything was bound to Lin Yi.

Deceiving Li Jianlong and digging out the big fish Heaven Duke was indeed a great achievement, but he still didn’t know what Lin Yi would do to him.

What if he just threw it away after using it?

Luckily, Lin Yi didn’t disappoint him. He’d officially accepted him into the security inspection department.

He used to be under Li Jianlong’s control, but now it was Lin Yi’s turn. The situation didn’t seem to have changed, but he was convinced.

After all, Lin Yi’s thigh was much thicker than Li Jianlong’s.

“I have a mission for you now. You should know about the assets that Li Jianlong transferred from House Li, right?” Lin Yi said.

” Most of them have been transferred to a company called the Sage Merchant Association,” Qiu Wanzhang answered honestly.” The rest are in his private warehouse. I know where they are.”

“Okay,” Lin Yi said,”Control it first, I’ll send someone over to take it back.”

These were all House Li’s assets, but unfortunately, Lin Yi wasn’t a good person.

The Rules Design Institute was a bottomless pit. The assets transferred by Li Jianlong could fill up a portion of it, so as to avoid falling into a financial crisis.

Qiu Wanzhang immediately left.

Half a day later, Wei Zhesheng and the others returned without success.

This was within Lin Yi’s expectations-if Heaven Duke and Xia Qiyuan were caught like this, they’d be too useless.

“Let’s go back to the Li family first.”

With Lin Yi’s order, everyone returned to House Li.

At this moment, everyone in the Li family was in a panic. From the upper echelons of the family to the peripheral disciples, everyone felt the invisible pressure that was about to rain.

The most anxious person was Li Zhulong.

His son, Li Tianchong, had been captured, and now Li Jianlong had been killed as a spy of the Gods. He had even colluded with the Elysium rebels. Combined with the fact that he was currently being investigated, any one of these things was enough to make the Li family unable to bear the consequences, let alone all of them!

With no other choice, Li Zhulong took the initiative to look for Lin Yi.

” Manager Lin, my son Li Tianchong was just blinded by greed. I am willing to pay the price for his actions, but he really has nothing to do with the spies of the Gods, and he has nothing to do with the Elysium!”

Li Zhu Long knew very well that if he was even the slightest bit suspicious of these two, he would be completely crippled. Even with the power of the Li family of Fengtian Manor, he could forget about saving him.

“Li Jianlong is a spy from the Gods, and he’s also from Elysium. This is a fact, no doubt about it.”

” Your son, Li Tianchong, is so close to him. If you say that he’s not suspicious at all, do you believe it yourself, Master Li?”

Li Zhu Long choked.

The most important thing was that Li Tianchong had joined forces with Li Jianlong in the last family meeting!

As long as Lin Yi insisted on this point and said that they were close, there was nothing he could do.

After a long silence, Li Zhu Long finally accepted his fate and said,” Manager Lin, what do you want? Just name your price.”

In other words, he was prepared to stop struggling and surrender.

“With House Li’s connections, you might be able to clear your son’s name if you work hard.” Lin Yi was surprised.

“That’s true.”

Li Zhu Long returned a smile that didn’t have much of a smile on it. He said meaningfully,” Operation requires costs. Instead of giving it to others for free, why don’t I directly look for Manager Lin, the main person?”

Lin Yi laughed,”As expected of a straightforward person.”

The other party’s actions seemed to be extremely cowardly. The dignified Li family of Fengtian Prefecture was not a fish on the chopping board. Couldn’t they be more stubborn and struggle?

But in reality, if they couldn’t win, they would join. This was the way of a true great clan.

This way, not only could Li Zhulong protect his son, Li Tianchong, but he could also build a relationship with Lin Yi.

Even if he had to bleed a lot in the short term and spit out a large amount of benefits, in the long run, it might not be a wise investment.

In the end, after a friendly negotiation, the two sides reached the following agreement.

First, House Li would transfer the small institution they had built to Lin Yi for free.

Secondly, House Li’s rule design business would be handed over to Lin Yi’s design institute.

Thirdly, House Li would invest three million in Lin Yi’s Rules Design Institute in exchange for one percent of the shares.

As for Lin Yi, he would naturally let Li Tianchong go and ensure that House Li of Fengtian passed the security check smoothly.

Just from the accounts, this was definitely an unfair treaty.

The Li family of Fengtian Prefecture was a powerful force even in the entire Inner Royal Court.
