As Jiang Yi left, a group of men in sunglasses stormed into the hotel, driving away all the reporters.
Even the guests staying at the hotel were forcibly evicted.
Then, Liu Yong, with a dark expression, entered the room.
"Slap!"
Liu Yong fiercely slapped the woman.
"Get back home. From now on, you stay put. If you dare to step out, I'll break your legs," Liu Yong said fiercely.
The woman, terrified, fled.
The man in the suit immediately knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing to Liu Yong, begging for mercy.
"Take him away and throw him off Jiangcheng Bridge," Liu Yong ordered angrily.
"Yes!"
Two men in sunglasses responded and dragged the suited man away.
This incident almost gave Liu Yong a heart attack.
He and the entire Liu family had become a laughingstock in everyone's eyes.
"You scoundrel!"
Liu Yong slapped Liu Tianyu hard across the face and cursed angrily, "You're so capable. I raised you, planned to groom you as my heir, but I never expected you to use such despicable means against me. I truly doubt if you are my biological son!"
Liu Yong was nearly driven mad.
He felt that he had been wise all his life, only to be defeated by his own son in the end.
"Dad, I didn't do this. It's Jiang Yi's scheme," Liu Tianyu quickly shifted the blame to Jiang Yi.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Liu Yong berated him, "Do you really think I'm an idiot? I'm not so senile. Everyone knows you were the one who called those reporters and personally led them to the room."
Liu Tianyu lowered his head, not daring to speak.
"I'll beat you to death today..."
Liu Yong pulled out the belt from his waist.
Liu Yong rarely resorted to violence, but when he did, he was exceptionally brutal, almost beating people to death.
Soon, piercing screams echoed from the room.
A few tens of minutes later, an ambulance arrived, and Liu Tianyu was directly sent to the hospital.
Liu Yong also ended up in the hospital.
This incident had triggered Liu Yong's heart disease.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yi returned to the villa and continued his work on the perfume.
For the next few days, the first thing Jiang Yi did each morning was to go to the storeroom in the backyard.
The establishment of Tiansheng Group and the infidelity of Liu Yong's wife had become the most popular topics of conversation among the citizens of Jiangcheng.
A week later, Jiang Yi buried a jar in the villa's garden.
The jar contained the perfume Jiang Yi had developed.
Whether it was successful or not would be known in a few days.
Dongfang Mei couldn't help but chuckle, "This is the first time I've seen someone make perfume this way. You're really wasting your time."
Jiang Yi didn't reply.
He was 90% sure of success.
Once the perfume was successfully made, Dongfang Mei would be silenced.
"What's the status of that assassin organization matter?" Jiang Yi asked.
"No news!"
Dongfang Mei replied, "But don't worry, the people I sent have found some clues and will soon locate the taxi driver's family. Once they are sent abroad, we can find the assassin organization's base from the taxi driver."
Jiang Yi felt a pang of frustration.
Dongfang Mei had boasted that she could handle it in a few days, but it had been nearly half a month, and there was still no progress.
It seemed this assassin organization was not easy to deal with.
Jiang Yi decided to wait another half a month. If Dongfang Mei still hadn't accomplished the task by then, he would have to take matters into his own hands.
"I have some news that I think you'll be very interested in," Dongfang Mei said mysteriously.
"What news?" Jiang Yi asked.
"On the day of Tiansheng Group's opening ceremony, Ye Yanran returned home and locked herself in her room, not coming out for a full week. I guess she had something on her mind and was reflecting in seclusion," Dongfang Mei said with a smile.
Jiang Yi's face remained expressionless.
Ye Yanran was no longer connected to him, and he had no right to interfere in her affairs.
"It seems you've come to your senses and let go of Ye Yanran," Dongfang Mei remarked.
"I let go long ago!"
Jiang Yi finished, then looked at Dongfang Mei, "This is a family matter for the Ye family. Only Ye family members would know. How do you, an outsider, know about it?"
"Of course, I bribed someone from the Liu family to get the information. Money makes the world go round, and you know this better than I do," Dongfang Mei said with a charming smile.
Jiang Yi was speechless.
At that moment, a servant walked towards them.
"Mr. Jiang, Madam Ye is here. She said she has something urgent to discuss with you," the servant said.
"Just say I'm not here!"
Jiang Yi replied.
Jiang Yi didn't want to see Mother Ye.
During the days he was making the perfume, Mother Ye and Ye Xiaofeng would come every day, insisting on seeing him.
Jiang Yi had never agreed to meet them.
He didn't want any further ties with the Ye family.
A moment later, angry shouts were heard from outside the villa.
"You blind fools, do you take me for an idiot? Jiang Yi is my son-in-law, how could he not see me! You're deliberately blocking me."
"Get out of the way, all of you. I must see Jiang Yi today."
Mother Ye's voice was filled with anger.
With just a few servants, it was impossible to stop Mother Ye.
Soon, Mother Ye barged in from the villa's main entrance.
Seeing Jiang Yi, Mother Ye's anger subsided, and she said to him, "Yanran has been locking herself in her room all this time, not stepping out. I'm truly worried."
Jiang Yi remained silent.
"Jiang Yi, Yanran becoming like this has a lot to do with you. Even if I have to beg you, please come and see Yanran! She'll surely be happy to see you," Mother Ye pleaded.
"You must have misunderstood!"
Jiang Yi said, "She's already divorced me. Her current state has nothing to do with me. If you have nothing else, please leave. I have other matters to attend to."
"Are you going to make me kneel and beg you?" Mother Ye asked.
"Begging me is useless. I can't help with this matter," Jiang Yi said calmly.
Last Mid-Autumn Festival, Ye Xiaofeng had tricked him once.
Jiang Yi would not fall for it again.
Just then, Father Ye walked in from outside.
"Jiang Yi, my wife and the others' past actions were indeed too much, and I have no face to come to you. But for Yanran, I have to. For my sake, please go and see Yanran!" Father Ye looked at Jiang Yi.
Father Ye was constantly worried about Ye Yanran and had become quite gaunt.
At that time, only Father Ye had treated Jiang Yi well within the entire Ye family.
Jiang Yi had always remembered Father Ye's kindness.
"Since you've asked, I'll go with you to see her. But I'll say this upfront, if I can't help her, don't blame me."
