Jin Buhuan wanted to persuade him further, but seeing Lin Yi's resolute attitude, he could only sigh in the end.
Jin Buhuan cautioned, "Brother Lin, you are far away in Tianjun, so you may not know the full extent of our Caishen Academy."
"Let me tell you this: all the academies of gods combined, even including the academy of the main god, do not have as much influence as my academy of the god of wealth."
"I apologize for the injustice you suffered this time."
"But have you thought this through? If you take this to the higher-ups and it's not handled properly, it could have very serious consequences for you personally."
"If you're willing, Brother Lin, I'll help you get more compensation this time, and then I'll make up for it in other business deals later. How about that?"
Judging from his attitude, Jin Buhuan was quite sincere.
Unfortunately, Lin Yi remained resolute: "I appreciate Brother Jin's kindness, but this matter must be thoroughly investigated. Brother Jin, please do as I say."
Jin Buhuan finally nodded helplessly: "Brother Lin, it's good that you know what's going on."
He sighed and immediately contacted the higher-ups at the God of Wealth Academy, reporting the whole story.
Soon, an old man with a short beard descended upon the secret realm and appeared before the two.
Feeling the invisible aura of authority emanating from the other party, even Lin Yi couldn't help but be startled.
In traditional understanding, even if the God of Wealth Academy has a great influence, it is a matter of business. In terms of actual strength, it may not be that strong.
However, judging from my current perception, the experts at the God of Wealth Academy are probably no less skilled than those at any other academy of gods.
Jin Buhuan introduced him, saying, "This is Elder Zhao Gongming, who is in charge of foreign affairs at our God of Wealth Academy. Brother Lin, you can speak directly to Elder Zhao if you have any requests."
Lin Yi cupped his hands in greeting and immediately said, "Elder Zhao, the resources I entrusted to your academy have been embezzled by a man named Qian Liu."
"I hope you will investigate this matter thoroughly and give me a response."
Zhao Gongming frowned upon hearing this: "Our God of Wealth Academy has a thousand-year reputation and its internal rules have always been strict. There is no way anyone could take advantage of our various oversight mechanisms. It is impossible for such a thing to happen. There must be some misunderstanding here."
His tone was aggressive, and the implication was clear that he didn't take Lin Yi seriously.
The intention is obvious: to suppress the matter.
After all, admitting it would be a huge scandal for his God of Wealth Academy, directly affecting its reputation and causing significant damage.
Lin Yi naturally understood, and without uttering a single wasted word, he directly placed the recording stone in front of him.
After the entire group photo was played, Zhao Gongming's face darkened completely. He turned to Jin Buhuan and asked, "Is this Qian Liu a member of our God of Wealth Academy?"
Jin Buhuan nodded: "I have some impression of this person. He is a very experienced clerk."
His gaze toward Lin Yi held a hint of astonishment.
I thought Lin Yi was in Tianjun and couldn't do anything about the Divine Realm Open Zone, but I didn't expect him to be able to get such first-hand evidence in such a short time.
This level of power and skill truly astonished him.
Zhao Gongming lowered his voice and said, "Even so, it cannot be taken as conclusive evidence. At most, it can only indicate that there is suspicion in this matter."
"However, our God of Wealth Academy has always put customers first. Since such a thing has happened, we will definitely take it seriously."
"Please give this photo to me. I will personally investigate it as soon as I get back and guarantee to give you a satisfactory answer."
Lin Yi glanced at Jin Buhuan with amusement: "Brother Jin told me that he had already started investigating this matter before."
"Could it be that with your academy's capabilities, you can't even investigate such a small matter clearly in such a long time?"
"Then I really have to question the competence of your academy."
Zhao Gongming's face darkened.
His so-called "going back to investigate personally" was merely a way to appease Lin Yi.
If Lin Yi really agrees, after he goes back and cleans up the mess, even if Lin Yi still has a copy of the photos, he won't be able to shake the God of Wealth Academy in the slightest.
If word gets out, people will only think that he is deliberately extorting the God of Wealth Academy.
Lin Yi said in a calm tone, "My patience is very limited. If this matter is not handled well today, then don't blame me for escalating the situation. After all, I have already given you all the opportunities you should have."
Zhao Gongming sneered, "You know better than we do the details of where these resources came from and whether they've been obtained in the open."
"If things really escalate, we will certainly suffer some losses, but for you, the impact will likely be even greater."
"Besides, if we really follow the rules, you first need to prove the source of these assets. I wonder if you can explain that clearly?"
Lin Yi's lips curled into a smile: "Are you sure you want to investigate me?"
Zhao Gongming's tone left no room for argument: "It's not that we want to investigate you, but that you've made a mountain out of a molehill, forcing us to investigate you."
"Your face is something you give yourself. I advise you to know when to stop, so that we can both save face."
"Furthermore, I can decide to give you some appropriate compensation."
"Shall we leave it at that?"
Lin Yi shook his head and chuckled: "In the end, it's still the same old thing about covering your mouth? I thought you, the dignified God of Wealth Academy, would have some more ingenious methods."
Zhao Gongming remained calm and sat down in a grand chair, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip: "Whether it's clever or not, as long as it solves the problem, it's a good solution."
Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, Lin Yi curled his lips into a smile: "Are you really sure this will solve the problem?"
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "I understand that you must feel a little unbalanced right now, but young man, you must know that not everything in life can go as you wish."
"Sometimes you just have to bow your head when you need to; it won't do you any harm."
"On the contrary, stubbornly resisting to the end is the only way to go nowhere."
"Besides, to put it another way, it's not just you. Everyone has times when they have to compromise, even I am no exception."
"Only when you truly accept this point will you be truly enlightened in life."
Lin Yi looked puzzled after hearing this: "It's really troublesome for Old Zhao to teach me this life lesson. It's a pity that I can't lower my head today."
Zhao Gongming's face darkened: "I have said all the right things. If you continue to be stubborn, then don't blame yourself for getting hurt."
"To be honest, with your current qualifications and level, you could still stir up some trouble in Tianjun by taking advantage of this opportunity with the main god."
"Once you leave Tianjun and enter the open area of the Divine Realm, especially here at my God of Wealth Academy, it's like an ant trying to shake a tree. It's best to know your place."
