Genshin Impact: The traitor doesn't even let his senior sister go

"Zhiyi, you are so bold! How dare you take Qixing away in broad daylight!"

Keqing held the bloodstained box of Dragon's Roar in her hand, her eyes stern.

Zhiyi silently clenched his fists and forced a forced smile on his face. "Master Keqing, you're joking. We just want to ask my master to cooperate with the investigation."

Keqing looked at him coldly and said sternly, "Ningguang has indeed given you the authority to investigate, but you are not allowed to coerce others into cooperating with your investigation."

Zhiyi's expression turned a little ugly. "Master Keqing, I want to remind you that your uncle is also a member of the joint investigation team."

"Haha, so what?" Keqing's purple eyes were filled with disdain, "He's not the president of the Yunlai Chamber of Commerce, his attitude only represents himself.

Also, he will withdraw from the joint investigation team tomorrow. If he doesn't withdraw, then he will get out of the Ke family!"

Zhiyi gave her a hateful look and said, "Keqing, you won't be so proud for long."

Chapter 94 Wanting to Provide for Ningguang's Retirement

The sky gradually darkened, leaving only a faint yellow glow on the horizon, like a light strip that was about to go out, emitting a weak and dim light.

Zhiyi had a gloomy expression on his face as he walked alone on the brightly lit streets of Liyue.

Although the current situation of the joint investigation team seems to be very good, public opinion is mostly in favor of them.

However, he knew very well that if Gan Wei could not be found as soon as possible, the situation would likely turn around in an instant.

"Fools, a bunch of rubbish!"

Thinking of this, Zhiyi couldn't help but curse under his breath.

He never imagined that at such a critical moment, the Fatui would be so lame.

This forced him to go to Yujingtai to block Uncle Tian and force him to confess.

Of course, he did not have any psychological burden about doing such a thing, but he was worried that such behavior of bullying his master would become an obstacle to his path to Tianquan.

A moment later, Zhiyi walked into an elegant pavilion in Xinyuexuan.

At this time, the Accord was already filled with presidents of various chambers of commerce. They were talking to each other, and their laughter echoed in the room.

As soon as these chamber of commerce presidents saw Zhiyi coming in, they immediately stood up, put on flattering smiles on their faces, and greeted him enthusiastically.

Zhiyi ignored them and walked straight to a middle-aged man sitting near the inside.

He glanced at the man indifferently and said coldly, "Kezhou, you are no longer a member of the joint investigation team."

When Kezhou heard this, he was immediately confused. "Captain Zhiyi, what happened?"

Zhiyi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, sketching a contemptuous smile. "All of us here are presidents of the Chamber of Commerce. Who the hell do you think you are, Kezhou?"

When Ke Zhou heard this, he was so angry that his face turned pale and blue.

He stood up from his seat angrily, his eyes burning with anger, and shouted loudly: "I am indeed not the president of the Yunlai Chamber of Commerce, but I am also the vice president of the chamber of commerce and the president's younger brother!"

"Oh?" Zhiyi raised his eyebrows frivolously, turned around, and said to everyone present with a smile, "Kezhou's niece just told me that tomorrow Kezhou must either withdraw from the joint investigation team or get out of the Ke family."

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately looked at Kezhou with sympathy.

Ke Zhou's face flushed crimson. He slammed his hand on the table, causing the teacups to jump. "This is treasonous! I'll go back and teach her a lesson about the family rules!"

After saying that, he left quickly.

Seeing this, Zhiyi suddenly relieved a lot of the depression in his heart.

Then, he clapped his hands a few times, and the crisp applause echoed in the room, focusing everyone's attention on himself, and then he said loudly: "Everyone, I need you to do two things now.

First, continue to spread the news to the public that the mastermind behind the assassination of the Emperor is Qixing.

Second, use your connections and wealth to bribe the soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army."

After the words fell, the scene fell into silence.

A moment later, a fat, middle-aged guild leader stepped forward and said with a hint of doubt, "Captain Zhiyi, in my opinion, wouldn't it be enough to just let Gan Wei come out and testify against Qixing?"

Zhiyi gave him a cold look. "Do you think it's that easy to bring down the Seven Stars? What if they don't follow the rules and use their power to mobilize the Thousand Rocks Army to deal with us? What should we do then?"

The guild leader nodded repeatedly, "Captain Zhiyi is indeed very thoughtful. We were just overthinking it. Don't worry, we'll do as you say when we get back."

He paused and whispered, "I heard Gan Wei hasn't been found yet. Could it be that Qixing and the others found him first?"

Zhiyi looked at him with a half-smile, "So, you should hurry up and win over the Qianyan Army.

After all, you all signed it."

When everyone present heard this, their hearts suddenly tightened. They remembered the list with their names signed on it and immediately felt regretful.

If they fail, it will be a death list!

..............................................

The sky was gloomy, as if it was going to rain, but it didn't.

Song Yinjian sat at the counter of his own shop, concentrating on writing the plan for the Immortal Sending Ceremony.

Suddenly, an elegant and luxurious figure walked into the store silently.

The figure was like the brightest star in the night sky, emitting a light that could not be ignored. Even in this gloomy sky, it was particularly eye-catching.

Song Yinjian slowly raised his head, and after seeing who was coming, he smiled lightly and said jokingly, "The wind is so strong today that it blew the richest man in the world, Lord Ningguang, into my small shop.

I wonder why Master Ningguang is here today?"

Ningguang ignored his teasing and asked directly, "Gan Wei, where are you?"

Song Yinjian just smiled and didn't answer.

Ningguang frowned slightly, took out a checkbook and pen from her pocket, quickly signed her name on a check, and handed it over.

Song Yinjian took the check and saw that the value on it was actually one hundred million.

He had originally tacitly agreed, but since Ningguang was so arrogant, he had no choice but to make it clear and replied, "Yes."

When Ningguang heard this answer, she understood that everything was indeed under his control.

She continued, "What happened to those people?"

As she spoke, she signed a check for 100 million Mora without hesitation and handed it over.

After Song Yinjian took the check, he couldn't help but feel the urge to provide for Ningguang's retirement.

He simply replied with one word: "Kill."

Ningguang nodded. This answer was within her expectations.

She was silent for a moment, hesitated, and then asked, "What will become of me?"

This time, she wrote a check for one billion Mora.

However, Song Yinjian did not accept her check, but gently pushed it back and returned the previous two checks to her.

Ningguang saw this and a hint of disappointment crossed her face. She sighed softly, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and reluctance as she asked, "Is it really impossible?"

Song Yinjian shook his head. "The Qunyu Chamber of Commerce cannot escape the practice of abusing its power for personal gain and competing with the people for profits. Moreover, it has already formed a monopoly over multiple industries, becoming a super-conglomerate spanning multiple sectors."

Ningguang remained silent upon hearing this.

She knew in her heart that what Song Yinjian said was true, but it was not easy for her to give up the Qunyu Chamber of Commerce that she had worked so hard to build for many years.

Chapter 95 Scumbag Behavior

Late at night, in the quiet courtyard of Xianjiali, the moonlight fell on the ground like water.

"Ningguang is different from them."

Zhongli gently placed the steaming teacup on the table and spoke in a calm tone.

Song Yinjian smiled faintly. "Of course I know this, but if we want to fundamentally change Liyue, we must eliminate her Qunyu Merchant Guild."

"But Ningguang has made so many contributions and sacrifices for Liyue. It's unfair for us to treat her like this."

Zhongli frowned slightly, his tone firm.

Song Yinjian could understand Zhongli's thoughts.

If it weren't for Ningguang's strong rise, Liyue would probably have been completely controlled by those profit-seeking chambers of commerce long ago.

Now that he wants to take action against the Qun Yu Chamber of Commerce, it is indeed the behavior of a scumbag who will destroy the bridge after crossing it.

But, I have to do it.

Because the size of the Qun Yu Chamber of Commerce is now so huge that all the people of Liyue have to look up to it.

More importantly, Ningguang is still very young.

If she were given another ten years, half of Liyue might be hers.

The high concentration of social wealth and resources is not a good thing, because it will result in less and less living space left for the middle and lower classes, and the social structure of the entire Liyue will become deformed.

Therefore, even though Ningguang is a very good leader with talents and courage that others can hardly match, Song Yinjian still wants to "dump" her.

He looked at Zhongli calmly and narrated slowly, "Many years ago, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was a leader in the jade industry. However, after Ningguang was elected as Tianquan, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce quickly declined.

The reason is very simple. The Abyss no longer supplies the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce with its high-quality jade, even though the price they offer is higher than that of the Qunyu Chamber of Commerce.

Zhongli was speechless for a moment.

Ningguang did not abuse her power for personal gain, but the natural tendency of those in lower positions to please those in higher positions meant that the Qun Yu Chamber of Commerce had an absolute advantage in any commercial competition.

Song Yinjian slowly picked up the teacup, sniffed the rising tea fragrance, and then took a big sip. The warm tea slid down his throat, and the refreshing and delicious feeling made him feel extremely comfortable all over.

After putting down the teacup, he raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled, saying, "Of course, the final decision on this matter is still up to you. I don't care."

When Zhongli heard this, he smiled angrily and said, "Boss Song, you know very well that I will accept any suggestion from you."

Song Yinjian shrugged, an innocent look on his face. "I'm just your incarnation. You'll have to bear the blame in the end."

Zhongli sighed, a trace of guilt in his eyes, "Once all this is settled, I'll go apologize to her!"

Song Yinjian waved his hand nonchalantly, saying nonchalantly, "Why apologize? Thunder, lightning, rain, and dew are all the emperor's grace."

When Zhongli heard this, his face suddenly darkened and he said darkly, "Boss Song, have you improved your cultivation recently? It's a good opportunity for me to give you some guidance."

...........................................

After a few more days, the atmosphere in Liyue Harbor became increasingly tense and solemn, like the calm before the storm.

Rumors abounded in the streets and alleys that the Seven Stars had murdered the Emperor in order to seize control of Liyue.

At the beginning, most people did not believe these ridiculous rumors.

However, as the rumors spread more and more intensely, many people were shaken in their originally firm positions under the overwhelming public opinion offensive and began to doubt and be suspicious of Qixing.

At the same time, there was a quiet wave of unrest within the Qianyan Army.

Some weak-willed soldiers succumbed to the temptation of money, failed to stick to their principles and bottom line, and were bribed with huge sums of money by those large chambers of commerce with ulterior motives.

As a result, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for the Seven Stars.

In the evening, Uncle Tian walked out of Yujingtai with the support of his daughter Huixin.

As soon as he came out, he was greeted by a man who was his former "good disciple" Zhiyi.

There was a faint smile on Zhiyi's face, and he looked gentle, but the smile did not reach his eyes, which made people feel a little creepy.

Behind him, there were dozens of burly men.

"Master, do you have a moment now? The joint investigation team would like to consult you to understand what happened. As you know, the assassination of the Emperor is a matter of great importance. We must quickly uncover the truth and give Liyue an explanation."

Zhiyi's tone sounded polite, but there was a hint of toughness in it that did not tolerate rejection.

Upon seeing this, Huixin's eyebrows immediately furrowed as she shouted in a delicate voice, "Zhiyi, you ungrateful beast! Get out of here!!"

Zhiyi ignored Huixin's anger, but stared at her straightly, with a hint of greed and evil in his eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, a wicked smile forming as he said slowly, "Junior Sister, you are quite pretty. Liyue has been in turmoil lately. It would be truly a pity if you were to encounter those lustful villains one day."

The threat in his words was very obvious.

"You beast!" Uncle Tian cursed. "I was truly blind. Why did I accept a piece of shit like you as my disciple? I'm telling you, just forget it. I'll never confess my guilt, even if I die!"

Zhiyi sighed softly, a look of regret on his face, "Why are you doing this, old man?
