Chapter 284: Chapter 195: Investment and Peril_2

"Li Yi, whether it’s providing funds or making an effort, I won’t hesitate. I hope you’ll seriously consider it," Kong Sheng also spoke.

For him, there wasn’t anyone in Tianchang City more suitable for investment than Li Yi.

Having dealt with Li Yi before, he knew that Li Yi was trustworthy and not the kind of person to burn bridges, which is why he dared to take the gamble.

If it had been someone else, he would have completely ignored them.

"Li Yi, you know all these people. You make the decision," Lin Yue said nothing more at that moment, looking at Li Yi as she spoke.

At that moment, everyone’s eyes were on Li Yi, awaiting his response.

Li Yi’s expression was calm as he pondered, and after a short while, he said, "Everyone is trusting and investing in me, which indeed is a good thing for me. However, at this time, with one incident after another in the Old City District, Ruined District, and the dangerous zones, once you invest in me, many issues will no longer allow you to remain uninvolved. Just like Sister Lin said, one could easily lose their life if not careful."

"Take, for example, tonight. There is a mission where the Investigation Bureau is planning a major cleanup operation code-named Demon-Elimination targeting the Walking Corpses and fierce ghosts in the Old City District. The risk is very high, and many people will die. Think about whether you would like to join in or not."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lv Jue immediately said, "I’m in. Whenever you need me, just say the word, and I will never refuse."

"I’ll join too," Fang Hang said, touching his amputated arm. "Although I’ve lost a hand, I still possess the strength of the inspiration realm and can be of help."

"Me too..."

These people didn’t hesitate at all, clearly prepared and resolute in their decision.

To them, Li Yi wasn’t just a friend; he was the hope for transcending boundaries. Only by steadfastly investing in Li Yi did they stand a chance to touch the realm of transcending. Otherwise, with their potential, they would never be able to leave Tianchang City in this lifetime. If the time came for a second Sky Tipping event, they would have no choice but to stay here with their families and leave their fates to heaven.

This was something the Cultivators never wanted to see happen.

If they were to shrink back now and not be willing to take a risk, then they would deserve their fate when disaster struck.

To become Cultivators and reach this point, everyone might have their own shortcomings, but none of them were fools. Even Zhao Xiaoxiao was now resolutely choosing to invest in Li Yi.

She had witnessed firsthand how rapidly Li Yi’s rise had occurred.

It was something ordinary Cultivators could only dream of, which is why she wasn’t going to miss the chance like before. She was betting everything without hesitation, determined to win back everything she had lost.

Facing such an attitude from everyone, Li Yi wanted to say something, but at that moment, Zheng Lan quickly approached, "Li Yi, a helicopter has arrived outside. It seems to be staff from the Investigation Bureau, and they say they have important matters to discuss with you."

Li Yi immediately handed over a Resurrection Pill that he had prepared in advance to Zheng Lan, "I know what this is about. Give this to the people from the Investigation Bureau; they will know what it is. You don’t need to explain."

"Alright."

Zheng Lan didn’t ask any further questions, took the Resurrection Pill, and immediately headed outside the building.

Once the Investigation Bureau staff received the Resurrection Pill, they expressed their gratitude to Li Yi, and then the helicopter took off again, speeding away.

Clearly, they were on their way to deliver the medicine to Zhang Lei.

With Zheng Gong’s endorsement, no one would doubt the authenticity of Li Yi’s medicine. They just prayed that the pill would work as hoped, to awaken the comatose Zhang Lei and stabilize the current dire situation. After all, relying on external combatants like Master Pete, Gu Mengping, and Lin Yue wouldn’t be enough to maintain control; the presence of Zhang Lei was indispensable.

Seeing this brief interlude, the crowd didn’t ask any further questions but quietly waited for Li Yi’s answer.

It was only then that Li Yi said, "Since everyone has already made up their minds, I won’t say much more. The task tonight will be tough on you all."

Seeing Li Yi agree, everyone breathed a sigh of relief while simultaneously showing signs of happiness.

However, amidst their joy, they became somber again.

Participating in the investment meant taking on risk and responsibility, and this mission was also a test to prove their worth.

Lin Yue was happy to see that Li Yi had agreed to accept these people’s investment, but she also felt it was a pity. She was happy that Li Yi was gradually building his own team, but it was a pity that the investors were too weak, with none of them being Spiritual Perception Masters. But then again, had they been Spiritual Perception Masters, why would they have come to invest in Li Yi? They would have already invested in Li Shaqing, Yang Yilong, or Master Pete.

"Forget it, at least this is a good start; it’s better than having no one to rely on," Lin Yue thought to herself.

As everyone was getting ready, dusk had unknowingly arrived.

Night was drawing nearer.

In the meantime, Li Yi had let Zheng Lan arrange everything for everyone; all the necessary supplies were ready, although not much but enough to last over ten days for all.

They had thought the Peace Finance Building would pass these days in peace.

Until a gunshot suddenly rang out, waking everyone in the building.

"What? A gunshot? It sounds close, right outside the building."

"Someone’s driving this way rapidly... It seems they’ve run into danger."

"That gunshot was from a Transcendent M200 sniper rifle, the type used exclusively by the Investigation Bureau."
