Chapter 164 - Who's Naive And Stupid?

Sit. The fat-bellied man said after one look at Lin Yi, evidently thinking of himself as superior to Lin Yi.

This man was none other than Li Cihua, and Lin Yis first impression of him was how dominant the man was. He had an air of pride and confidence about him, an aura of superiority- it was an image very effective on the masses.

It was known as the Conquerors Aura, and anyone with a weaker aura would probably be very cautious when standing before a man like Li Cihua.

Yet Lin Yi had seen his share of conquerors aura, and there werent too many still living The hostile entities towards him were basically all in the afterlife now.

Lin Yi decided to ignore Cihua as he walked around the office. He turned his head to the skinny man. Is this supposed to be your secretary?

(theres like a sexual connotation the word he uses for secretary)

...... Cihuas eyes widened as he refrained from cursing- this Lin Yi wasnt following the conventional script! What was he doing, bouncing all over the place? He was like that in the phone call, too.

Cihua had originally planned to persuade and force Lin Yi into aiding them after he had seated himself, if possible- hed off him otherwise.

Yet Lin Yi didnt even bother with that, instead blurting out a ridiculous question to piss him off. Was something wrong with his eyes?

He cleared his throat. I see you dont have very good eyes, Mister Lin. Hes my secretary, a male secretary.

Ooh. So Cihua Bros into that stuff, huh? Lin Yi nodded, as if understanding something. I say, fatty- youre not planning to do anything to me, are you? I dont swing that way

Fuck!! Cihua couldnt take it anymore- he was even thinking that Lin Yi understood his situation well, adding a Bro to his name and everything He was just feeling pleased with himself when Lin Yi blurted something outrageous! Into that stuff?!!

Lin Yi calling him a fatty crossed the final line, and a curse escaped his lips.

Im joking, haha. Dont get angry. Lin Yi smiled as he seated himself on Cihuas sofa, cutting the bullshit. After all, his earlier words served the purpose of pissing him off, and testing where his bottom line was at. The discussion would be more advantageous for Lin Yi if Cihua wasnt in his best mental state, and itd be easier for Cihua to expose his intentions by accident.

...... Cihua frowned. Mister Lin, lets just speak our minds with each other, now that were at this point already.

Yes, lets. Lin Yi said. Pissing Cihua off was also to prevent him from spewing any bullshit at him, after all, by showing him that Lin Yi himself was even more capable at bullshiting than he was.

Excellent! Cihua said. Lets get to the point- that robbery case from before: you were the one who ruined it, yes?

I wasnt even needed for that. Lin Yi answered, nonchalant. They were pretty trash at their job- what, were they your men?

Lin Yi wasnt expecting Cihua to nod in agreement. Indeed, I hadnt taken your presence into consideration, Mister Lin. It was a mistake on my part to send them.

Oh? So youre telling me that the mastermind behind the bank robbery.. Is you? Lin Yi didnt understand why Cihua was admitting to the crime just like that.

Im but one of the profiteers. Cihua explained. Im sure youd want to leave the details alone After all, the more you know, the faster you die.

Hah.. Is that a threat? Lin Yi said, completely uncaring as he received the threat. Arent you scared Ill report you to the police?

Hahaha! Cihua looked at Lin Yi like he was an idiot. Naturally, yes. Why would I be telling you all this if I were?

Is that so? Lin Yi said, looking at the fat man.

Dont believe me? Youre welcome to try. Cihua said with a wave of his hand. Proof! Evidence! You have no evidence, and I wont ever be leaving behind any evidence! I must say, Lin Yi- youre naive and quite stupid. People at our level are exempt from commonplace laws, you know why? Because theres no proof! The only people thatll ever get in trouble are the pawns! You think the police have no idea whats going on here? You think they dont know what Im doing? They know alright, they know better than you do!! But they cant touch me, do you know why that is? Because the characters backing me up are way above what theyre capable of dealing with- they need solid evidence before they could even start touching me!!

So youre saying the same goes for me if I kill you right now without leaving any evidence for the police? Lin Yi asked.

Its an amusing example, but let me provide an answer for you- if you do kill me while being smart enough to erase all traces of evidence or clues, then yes- as long as you have Chu Pengzhan standing behind you. No one would dare do anything to you. Cihua explained. This is how it works here in the upper class, this is the rule we all fight under, and no one would actively disrupt that rule.

Ah, I understand. Lin Yi nodded while cursing internally. Fuck, howre you smiling so happily? I can kill you as easily as pulling a doll apart! Yet Lin Yi wasnt about to do anything to the man- there was someone powerful backing him up, after all, and thered be dire consequences.

Lin Yi was considering the bigger picture- he couldnt do anything that reckless yet, not until Chu Pengzhan launched a full scale war on them. It wasnt too big a deal to punish an important character on the other side of the war, beating him up a little Killing him, however, was way too premature.

Im glad you understand the concept. Ill stop bullshitting then! Cihua continued. They say that dire times forge wise men- Im sure thats the position youre in, Mister Lin. Its no difficult task to have you killed, rest assured While you have value for Chu Pengzhans protection alive, the same cant be said for when youre dead. How far do you think Chu Pengzhan would go for a bodyguard, or even his daughter?? Hed probably want you dead himself if he ever found out about your relationship with his Chu Mengyao.

Lin Yi blinked at the spit Cihua was spitting at him- what the hell was he saying? Was his mind so perverted that he just assumed that Lin Yi had some sort of dirty relationship with Chu Mengyao.? Did he even look like that kind of person?

Lin Yi looked at the Li Cihua who thought himself to be in full control, and couldnt help but feel sorry for his stupidity. He pitied him.

After all, the ones who thought they knew everything when they didnt were the dumbest ones of all.

What are you trying to say? Lin Yi didnt bother denying the mans accusations, deciding to just let him continue misunderstanding what was going on between him and Mengyao. That was even better, actually- hed have a reason to lay his hands on him next time, giving him a one liner like you mess with my woman, I mess with your family.

Cooperate with us. Cihua said confidently.

Cooperate with you? Lin Yi was a little taken aback- what was this guy saying?

"Vote for me." Marcy said confidently
