Chapter 11214: Chapter 11213: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!

“What should we do then?” Lin Yi said helplessly. Should I pick another one?”

Bai Shizu and the other two looked at each other.

Lin Yi nodded and went with the flow.

“Yes.”

Bai Shizu and the other two immediately agreed.

As long as there was no substantial conflict of interest, they were still willing to do him a favor.

After all, they were the four leaders, and they had the authority to supervise each other. If Lin Yi was left idle, they would be the ones in trouble.

Especially Bai Shizu, who had just drawn the Han Imperial Residence. He had just suffered a setback at the Chu royal residence, and he was bent on regaining his face from the Han Imperial Residence.

With Lin Yi’s relationship with Prince Han’s mansion, even if there was a rift recently, he wouldn’t just ignore it if he really went all out.

He couldn’t wait for Lin Yi to get busy.

At the end of the meeting, the Safety Inspection Division immediately sent a letter to the target of the investigation, asking them to be prepared for the investigation.

It was fine for the three Imperial Houses, but they were already prepared for this.

The Li family of Fengtian Prefecture was completely caught off guard.

Logically speaking, his family’s overall strength was indeed not weak. It was enough to be ranked in the first echelon below the seven Imperial Mansions, but there were at least a dozen other forces in the first echelon. How did it fall to his Li family?

The entire Li family was in a panic. They hurriedly gathered the higher-ups of the family for an emergency discussion.

The family head, Li Zhulong, sat on the main seat, frowning.

“The people from the Safety Inspection Department will arrive in two days. Let’s discuss how to deal with this.”

A middle-aged man who looked similar to him and was dressed like a scholar said,” The Security Inspection Division is investigating the spies of the gods. Our Li family has always been upright. I don’t think there’s anything to worry about, right?”

This person’s name was Li Jianlong. Technically, he was Li Zhulong’s cousin, but their blood relationship was relatively distant.

In the past, he had always kept a low profile and did not have much of a presence in the family. It was only in recent years that he had suddenly risen to prominence and made friends with many capable people outside. He had helped the family do many things before he finally had the status to speak and discuss matters.

“If it’s just business, then there’s really nothing to worry about. I’m just afraid that things aren’t that simple,” Li Zhu Long said with a bitter smile.

An experienced elder chimed in.” That’s right. People’s hearts are unpredictable. The Safety Inspection Department is newly established and is one of the most powerful departments in the Royal Court. If the person in charge of the inspection has any ill intentions towards the Li family, we’ll be in trouble.”

“I heard that there are four chiefs in the Safety Inspection Division. Who’s coming to investigate us this time?” Li Jianlong asked.

“Lin Yi.”

” I met him once when the Chu royal residence’s Rules Design Institute bid,” Li Zhu Long said in a deep voice.” I feel that he is a shrewd young man.”

Li Tianchong’s heart skipped a beat.” Him?”

He had been focused on the design institute and didn’t care about Lin Yi at all. He didn’t even know about Lin Yi’s position in the Safety Inspection Division.

After all, the Security Review Division was a core confidential department. The identity and background of the four managers were not considered confidential in the high-level circles. Before the outside world came into contact with them, they basically had no way of knowing.

Li Tianchong’s expression changed when he heard the news.

He knew that he had kicked an iron plate.

If he didn’t have the identity of the head of the security inspection department, a so-called genius like Lin Yi who came in from the outside world would be easily handled by him. He wasn’t even worth mentioning.

But now, especially when Lin Yi was about to come to investigate, no matter how high Li Tianchong thought he was, he knew he had to hide.

Otherwise, he would be courting death, and he would be dragging the entire Li family of Fengtian Prefecture to death!

Li Jianlong saw the change in Li Tianchong’s expression. He narrowed his eyes slightly but did not expose it in public. He said loudly,” No matter what, I still say the same thing. A straight body is not afraid of a crooked shadow. They can investigate however they want, but the Li family is not afraid!”

“What a fool!” The elder frowned. The situation is stronger than the person. When it’s time to admit defeat, you have to admit defeat. If the entire family has this attitude of yours, even if there’s nothing, something will happen!”

For a time, both sides had their own supporters, and the Li family ancestral hall was in a heated argument.

After arguing for a long time, when everyone was tired of arguing, their gazes fell on Li Zhulong, the current family head.

“No matter what, I’ll pay a visit first and find out more about this Manager Lin.” Li Zhu Long made the decision.

In the residence of Prince Zhao.

Li Zhulong successfully met Lin Yi.

“Master Li, this isn’t the first time we’ve met. I won’t stand on ceremony with you.” Lin Yi smiled and invited him to take a seat. He poured a cup of tea and pushed it to him.

” Yes, yes. I met Manager Lin at the Chu royal residence a few days ago. I’m very fortunate.”

Li Zhu Long smiled apologetically.

Lin Yi looked at him and understood.

It seemed that the person who wanted to attack his design institute was not the decision of the Li family’s head, but Li Tianchong’s private action without informing his father beforehand.

Speaking of which, if Li Zhu Long really knew all of this, he probably wouldn’t be so calm at this moment.

Since the other party didn’t know, Lin Yi didn’t want to expose them. He said directly,” The security check is the most important thing right now. No one can escape it. I hope that House Li can cooperate with us and complete the check as soon as possible. Everyone can have a load off their minds.”

“Don’t worry, Manager Lin. We’ll definitely cooperate fully.” Li Zhu Long quickly expressed his stance.

“That’s good.” Lin Yi nodded.

Li Zhu Long was silent for a moment. Then, he took the initiative to ask,” Manager Lin has just taken over the Rules Design Institute. I’m sure there are a lot of things to do. Our Li family has some assets. I wonder if we can cooperate?”

Lin Yi instantly understood what she was thinking.

They wanted to form a community of interests with him through industrial cooperation. In this way, he would naturally return the favor and not make things too difficult for the Li family of Fengtian Prefecture.

His train of thought was quite experienced.

With Lin Yi’s current situation, he would face problems in all aspects. If he could cooperate with a local force like House Li of Fengtian House, it would save him a lot of trouble.

With the Li family’s family business, they probably wouldn’t mind giving him some money to shut his mouth.

“Working together is a good thing, but to avoid suspicion, I think we should wait until after the investigation is over. What do you think, Master Li?” Lin Yi said.

Li Zhu Long couldn’t help but be stunned.

According to the normal development, shouldn’t they take advantage of the investigation to manipulate the Li family and obtain greater benefits?

If he waited until the investigation was over and the Li family was safe, how could he control them?

He’d already come to his doorstep, and yet he didn’t take the chance to accept it. Did this Lin Yi not understand, or was he just being fair and honest?
