Beauty and the Bodyguard

In other words, if nothing unexpected happens next, the final voting result will most likely not be fundamentally different from the past, and the strongest faction will still control the overall situation.

As a result, something unexpected happened.

Gu Jiumu's voice was calm, but what he said was shocking: "I vote for Yi Jinglun."

The whole place was in an uproar.

Xi Tulai couldn't help but question: "You just nominated Zhao Chen, and now you vote for Yi Jinglun, Mr. Gu, is this inappropriate for you?"

Gu Jiumu looked at him indifferently: "The Supreme Board of Directors has never stipulated that the candidates for nomination and voting must be the same. I am just using my rights normally. Is there anything wrong?"

"Aren't you making fun of everyone?"

Xi Tathagata couldn't help but laugh angrily.

Normally, he would not dare to face Gang with Gu Jiumu, but now that he was under Kong Shenglin's instruction and stood up on behalf of the strongest faction, he felt confident.

Gu Jiumu glanced at everyone in the audience: "How about I apologize to everyone?"

All the giants waved their hands and laughed in apology.

Xi Tulai was choked and speechless on the spot, asking Gu Jiumu, the top boss, to apologize to them. Who, including himself, has such a big face?

Lin Yi couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

If you hadn't seen Gu Jiumu's private appearance, just looking at his always rigid and majestic external persona, this sudden appearance would really catch people off guard.

But in this way, the relationship between Gu Jiumu and Lin Yi is a bit intriguing.

Previously, everyone had taken it for granted that Lin Yi would definitely become a follower of Gu Jiumu and his family when he entered the game, and he would obey Gu Jiumu's words.

But now it seems that not only does he have his own ideas, but Gu Jiumu even actively cooperates with him!

The status-subordinate relationship between these two people is really a bit abnormal.

At this moment, Chu Hantian, who looked playful and aloof from the matter, followed Youyou and said, "I will also vote for Yi Jinglun."

Everyone was speechless.

The face of the first man, Kong Shenglin, darkened visibly to the naked eye.

The scene of the two top giants Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian joining forces has happened more than once or twice in the past, which in itself is not surprising.

But the problem is that the two of them expressed their support for Lin Yi at the same time, and a powerful triangular alliance was vaguely formed, which made people have to guard against it.

The alliance between Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian was destined to be impossible to form a substantial alliance due to their past grievances and conflicts of interest, and the threat they could pose to the strongest faction was ultimately limited.

However, once Lin Yi is added as a lubricant, things will be different.

The triangular alliance is far stronger than the alliance between two top giants.

Moreover, with Lin Yi's rising momentum, his role in this triangular alliance is far more than just a lubricant.

Maybe one day in the not-too-distant future, he will officially grow into a third pole on par with the other two!

That scene is chilling just thinking about it.

Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian's successive statements, although the scene only gave Yi Jinglun two more votes, and there was still an obvious gap with Hechi's four votes, the influence brought by the two top giants had a psychological impact on the rest of the people. , but it is enough to fight against each other.

Soon, a neutral giant took advantage of the situation and voted for Yi Jinglun.

Yi Jinglun, three votes!

It is worth mentioning that this neutral giant has never had any interaction with Lin Yi before, and this vote was obviously influenced by the two top giants.

At this moment, the expressions of everyone in Kong Shenglin changed completely.

Lin Yi himself has not expressed his position at this time. If anyone else votes for Yi Jinglun, it means that Yi Jinglun will get at least five votes!

Although according to the rules, when there is a tie in the big vote, the final decision-making power will belong to Kong Shenglin, the first person, and the position of deputy director of the Alliance Security Bureau will eventually fall on Hechi.

But in that case, Lin Yi actually won.

After all, this is his first appearance. Being able to force Kong Shenglin to the point of using the final ruling is definitely a huge shame for this world's number one man!

In the tense and depressing atmosphere, the pressure came on the last remaining neutral giant.

And the answer he gave was, abstain.

Kong Shenglin and everyone suddenly breathed a collective sigh of relief.

As a result, in the end, only Lin Yi and Luo Xiliu were left without a vote. Even counting Lin Yi's vote, Hechi and Yi Jinglun's votes were still 4 to 4. As long as Luo Xiliu didn't act stupid at this time , they are still sure of victory.

Even if Luo Xiliu insists on having his own way and forcibly votes for his nominated brother Luo Donghen, the situation will not get completely out of control.

Of course, Kong Shenglin would not let this happen.

Kong Shenglin's eyes fell on Luo Xiliu, without any emotion at all, but so heavy that it made people breathless.

Luo Xiliu was stunned for a moment.

He had forced his younger brother Luo Donghen to nominate him before, and it was indeed because he had been too angry in the past two days, which was partly due to his anger.

But if he really wanted to let him openly go against Kong Shenglin's strongest faction on such an occasion, his reason clearly told him that it would be self-destruction.

Now, he can't afford the consequences of breaking up with the strongest faction.

Time became extremely slow, and the atmosphere became extremely stagnant.

Xi Rulai urged impatiently: "Lao Luo, why are you still dawdling? It's obvious now that your brother has no chance at all, so why should you hesitate?"

Luo Xiliu raised his head and glanced at him, then turned to Kong Shenglin, who had been watching him quietly.

But just when he was about to express his stance, Lin Yi suddenly said first: "I vote for Yi Jinglun."

Four to four.

No one was surprised at all, and there were no strict restrictions on the voting order. Lin Yi rushed to express his position at this time, which was blameless.

What they couldn't see was that just because of Lin Yi's grab, Luo Xiliu felt strange fluctuations in his heart, and subconsciously looked at Lin Yi.

not good!

Just in case, Kong Shenglin had used his superior consciousness and will to control the whole place from the beginning. He was suddenly very alert to this seemingly inadvertent interaction between Luo Xiliu and Lin Yi.

He thought of some extremely ominous possibility.

What if Luo Xiliu's brain twitched and he didn't vote for Hechi or Luo Donghen, who was nominated by himself, but instead voted for Yi Jinglun, who was nominated by Lin Yi?

That possibility may seem absurd at first glance, but once it happens, it will have a huge and disruptive impact on the entire top board of directors!

Absolutely not allowed to happen!

Kong Shenglin no longer simply used his gaze to exert pressure, but directly shot a stream of divine will towards Luo Xiliu.
