A strong intuition told him that if he really attacked Lin Yi today, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jin Buhuan whispered a reminder from the side: "Old Zhao, I heard that the God of the Track has a special fondness for Brother Lin Yi. If we befriend Brother Lin Yi, we can also get in touch with the God of the Track. It might not be a bad thing for our God of Wealth Academy."
Zhao Gongming pondered for a moment, then finally sighed and said, "Fine, since the problem lies with my God of Wealth Academy, let's break the rule this time."
Lin Yi curled the corners of his lips: "Old Zhao is wise."
Even if the prestigious God of Wealth Academy wanted to befriend important figures, it wouldn't stoop to associating with a fallen racetrack god.
Jin Buhuan's words were purely to give Zhao Gongming a way out.
Ultimately, it comes down to ability.
If Lin Yi's strength is insufficient and he cannot make the opponent feel any real threat, then even if he has many trump cards, he will still die a righteous death.
They won't listen to you at all, let alone bow down to you.
Zhao Gongming immediately instructed Jin Buhuan, "Go and bring Qian Liu here. Tell him I want to see him."
Jin Buhuan nodded knowingly.
Soon, Qian Liu was brought before the two men.
Seeing Lin Yi present, Qian Liu showed no sign of panic.
However, upon seeing Zhao Gongming's gloomy face, his legs went weak for a moment.
As an official of the God of Wealth Academy, he could be arrogant and disregard outsiders, but when facing a high-ranking academy official like Zhao Gongming, he felt an absolute, ingrained fear.
At his level, he wouldn't even have the right to meet Zhao Gongming normally.
He was well aware of the specifics of the situation.
However, on the surface, Qian Liu remained calm and composed, and respectfully bowed to Zhao Gongming: "Student Qian Liu greets Elder Zhao."
He then looked at Lin Yi with a puzzled expression, quickly devising a plan in his mind.
In fact, from the moment he reached out to those gray-market businesses, he had already made the necessary preparations.
While he couldn't say he could be completely foolproof, he was at least confident he could get away with it on the surface.
Although his social status is low, his seniority in the God of Wealth Academy is by no means shallow.
He had thoroughly studied the various loopholes in the rules of the God of Wealth Academy.
Even if Lin Yi stood up and confronted him, he was fully confident that he could smooth things over.
The next second, Zhao Gongming gestured to Lin Yi with his lip: "The person is yours to do with as you see fit."
One sentence completely stunned Qian Liu.
No? What's going on?
According to his plan, no matter what, he was a student of the God of Wealth Academy, and even if the higher-ups really believed that he had embezzled something, they would never easily hand him over.
Otherwise, where would the dignity of the God of Wealth Academy be?
The most normal course of events would be to initiate an internal review process, and he had already made ample preparations for this.
Now look what's happened! Without even asking a single question, they've already handed themselves over.
What does this mean?
Lin Yi nodded slightly: "Thank you for your cooperation, Elder Zhao."
As he spoke, he slowly walked towards Qian Liu.
As Lin Yi drew closer, Qian Liu panicked and retreated repeatedly.
He couldn't help but look at Zhao Gongming and pleaded, "Elder Zhao, what have I done to deserve this humiliation by an outsider? Even if I die, I must die knowing why!"
Zhao Gongming sat in the armchair, gently fiddling with his teacup: "What have you done that you don't even know?"
Qian Liu quickly shook his head: "This student really doesn't know, please tell me, Elder Zhao."
Zhao Gongming shook his head, focusing on drinking his tea and ignoring him completely.
Jin Buhuan spoke up on his behalf, saying, "You took advantage of a loophole in my academy's system and embezzled the resources that Brother Lin Yi entrusted to my God of Wealth Academy. You don't have to feel so aggrieved now that you've ended up like this."
Upon hearing this, Qian Liu's eyelids twitched violently, and he thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
Although he boasted that he had thoroughly studied the loopholes in the rules of the God of Wealth Academy and that under normal circumstances no one would find fault with him, this was on the premise that he would not be investigated and the matter would not escalate.
Otherwise, if a core high-ranking official like Zhao Gongming were to really target him, it wouldn't be difficult to find out.
He still has that much self-awareness.
However, Qian Liu still held onto a sliver of hope and hurriedly shouted, "Injustice! I'm innocent! I've always been diligent and conscientious at the God of Wealth Academy for so many years and have never made the slightest mistake!"
"Why should students have to take the blame for any slanderous statement made by just anyone?"
"You have to catch a thief red-handed. Even if you want to convict me, you should at least provide solid evidence!"
Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Your acting skills are not bad. It's really a waste for you to stay at the God of Wealth Academy."
Jin Buhuan, standing to the side, opened the recording stone: "Since you feel wronged, why don't you take a look at this first?"
After watching the entire group photo, Qian Liu turned pale and wished he could slap himself a thousand times on the spot.
He was always low-key and never made a fuss about his actions, but this time, when he suddenly received a windfall, he couldn't help but show it off to his woman.
But it was only this once, and unexpectedly someone took a picture of it on the spot!
However, Qian Liu immediately struggled and shouted, "Fake! This is fake! I never said such a thing. This is a deliberate frame-up! Elder Zhao, you must investigate!"
He only had one thing to rely on.
According to the rules of the God of Wealth Academy, there must be solid evidence of wrongdoing to punish internal personnel, and this is a rule that no high-ranking official can violate.
As long as the resources he embezzled are not uncovered, and as long as no evidence of his embezzlement is found, he can deny it no matter what corroborating evidence the other party presents.
He had already made thorough preparations for both of these points.
No matter how powerful the other party is, they should never be able to find out their weakness.
Even so, as Lin Yi drew closer, Qian Liu couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
He dared to use underhanded means to embezzle Lin Yi's resources because he knew that Lin Yi was just an outsider from a small place like Tianjun, and was destined to have little power in the open area of the Divine Realm, let alone influence the internal decisions of the God of Wealth Academy.
That's why he dared to take that step.
Who would have thought that the other party would actually be able to produce such a photo!
This alone is enough to prove that his methods and power far exceeded Qian Liu's imagination.
Even if he manages to get away with this today, he will still face retaliation from such a ruthless person at any time.
Ultimately, he was just a nobody at the bottom of the God of Wealth Academy, and couldn't withstand this level of storm at all.
At this moment, Lin Yi stopped in front of him and said with a playful tone, "I really don't have the kind of evidence you're talking about."
