In other words, if nothing unexpected happened, the final voting result would not be any different from the previous ones. The strongest faction would still control the overall situation.
In the end, something unexpected happened.
“I vote for Yi Jinglun,” Gu Jiumu said calmly, but the words that came out of his mouth were shocking.
Everyone was in an uproar.
Xi Rulai couldn’t help but question him.” You just nominated Zhao Chen, but now you’re voting for Yi Jinglun. Giant Gu, isn’t this a little inappropriate?”
Gu Jiumu looked at him indifferently.” The Supreme Board of Directors has never stipulated that the nominees and the candidates for the vote must be the same. I’m just using my authority normally. Is there anything wrong with that?”
“Aren’t you making fun of everyone?”
West Rulai couldn’t help but laugh in anger.
Normally, he did not dare to confront Gu Jiumu head-on, but now that he had been instructed by Kong Shenglin to stand up for the strongest faction, he did not lack confidence.
” What?” Gu Jiumu swept his gaze across the crowd.” Should I apologize to everyone?”
The giants hurriedly waved their hands and smiled apologetically.
Xi Rulai was speechless on the spot. Who, including himself, had the audacity to ask Gu Jiumu to apologize to them?
Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh.
If they hadn’t seen Gu Jiumu in private, they would have been caught off guard by his usual old-fashioned and dignified appearance.
However, the relationship between Gu Jiumu and Lin Yi was a little intriguing.
Before this, everyone assumed that Lin Yi would become Gu Jiumu’s follower and listen to him.
But now, it seemed that not only did he have his own ideas, Gu Jiumu even wanted to cooperate with him!
The relationship between the two of them was really a little abnormal.
At this moment, Chu Hantian, who had a playful look on his face, also said faintly,”I’ll vote for Yi Jinglun too.”
Everyone was speechless.
The first person, Kong Shenglin’s face, darkened visibly.
The scene of Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian joining forces had happened more than once or twice in the past, so it was not unusual.
But the problem was that the two of them were supporting Lin Yi at the same time, forming a powerful triangle alliance. This was something that people had to be wary of.
Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian’s alliance was destined not to form a substantial alliance due to their past grudges and conflicts of interest. The threat they could pose to the strongest faction was limited.
However, with Lin Yi as a catalyst, things were different.
The Triangular Alliance was far stronger than the alliance between two top-tier giants.
Plus, with Lin Yi’s rising momentum, his role in the Alliance wasn’t as simple as just being a grease.
Perhaps one day in the near future, he would officially grow into a Third Pole that was on equal footing with the other two!
Just thinking about that scene made one shudder.
Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian’s successive statements had only given Yi Jinglun two more votes, which was still an obvious gap from the four votes of Hechi. However, the influence brought by the two top giants had caused a psychological impact on the rest of the people. It was enough to compete with them.
Soon, a neutral giant voted for Yi Jinglun.
Yi Jinglun, three votes!
It was worth mentioning that this neutral guy didn’t have any interactions with Lin Yi before, and this vote was obviously influenced by the two top guys.
At this moment, the expressions of Kong Shenglin and the others changed completely.
Lin Yi hadn’t said anything yet, and if anyone else voted for Yi Jinglun, it meant that he would get at least five votes!
According to the rules, if the voting was a tie, the final decision would go to Kong Shenglin, the number one person. The position of Deputy Director of the Alliance Security Bureau would still fall on Hechi.
But that meant that Lin Yi had already won.
After all, this was only his first appearance. To be able to force Kong Shenglin to use the Final Judgment was definitely a huge humiliation for the number one person in the world!
In the tense atmosphere, the pressure fell on the last remaining neutral giant.
The answer he gave was to forfeit.
Kong Shenglin and the others immediately heaved a collective sigh of relief.
As a result, only Lin Yi and Luoxi Liu were left. Even with Lin Yi’s vote, Hechi and Yi Jinglun’s votes were four to four. As long as Luoxi Liu didn’t make a stupid move at this time, they would still win.
Even if Luo Xiliu insisted on his own way and forcefully voted for his younger brother, Luo Donghen, who had been nominated by him, the situation would not be completely out of control.
Of course, Kong Shenglin would not let this happen.
Kong Shenglin’s gaze fell on Luo Xiliu. It was emotionless, but it was so heavy that it made it difficult for one to breathe.
Luo Xiliu was bewildered for a moment.
Previously, he had forcefully nominated his younger brother Luo Donghen because he had suffered too much in the past two days.
However, if he were to openly go against Kong Shenglin’s strongest faction on such an occasion, his rationality clearly told him that he would be courting death.
The current him could not bear the consequences of falling out with the strongest faction.
Time slowed down and the atmosphere became stagnant.
Xi Rulai urged impatiently.” Old Luo, what are you still dawdling for? It’s obvious now. Your brother doesn’t stand a chance at all. What’s there to hesitate about?”
Luo Xiliu raised his head and glanced at him. Then, he turned to Kong Shenglin, who had been watching him quietly.
“I’m voting for Yi Jinglun,” Lin Yi said before he could say anything.
Four to four.
The crowd wasn’t surprised at all-there weren’t any strict rules on the voting order, and Lin Yi’s sudden decision wasn’t to be blamed.
What they couldn’t see was that because of Lin Yi’s words, Luo Xiliu’s heart started to fluctuate. He subconsciously looked at Lin Yi.
Not good!
Just in case, Kong Shenglin had already used his higher consciousness to control the entire scene. He was on high alert for the subtle interaction between Lin Yi and Luoxiu.
He thought of an extremely bad possibility.
What if Luoxi Liu lost his mind and didn’t vote for Hechi or Luo Donghen, but for Yi Jinglun?
That possibility might seem absurd at first glance, but once it happened, it would have a huge impact on the entire board of directors!
It absolutely couldn’t happen!
Kong Shenglin didn’t just use his gaze to pressure Luo Xiliu anymore. He directly sent out a stream of spiritual will toward Luo Xiliu..
