Doctor Xue the divine physician walked towards Dongfang Mei with a silver needle.
Dongfang Mei struggled, but it was useless.
The ropes were tied too tightly for her to loosen.
Doctor Xue's face was filled with murderous intent, no joke.
Jiang Yi felt a pang in his groin.
He couldn't just watch Dongfang Mei die by Doctor Xue's hand.
"Stop!"
Jiang Yi shouted, "She's my woman. If you dare to touch even a hair on her head, you'll regret it."
Hearing this, Dongfang Mei looked towards Jiang Yi.
"You finally admit I'm your woman. Even though you've implicated me this time, I won't hold it against you!"
Dongfang Mei said with a chuckle, "Remember what you just said, and don't go back on your word from now on."
Jiang Yi was speechless!
The only reason he admitted it was to save her.
Now, she was using it as an opportunity to latch onto him.
Doctor Xue stopped and smiled, "If that's the case, it's simple. Teach me the Plum Blossom Thirteen Needles and the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique, or I'll kill her."
"Alright!"
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows, "But before that, you must kneel down and kowtow to me three times!"
"Kid, you're in my clutches now, and you still want to humiliate me..." Doctor Xue's face was filled with rage.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not humiliating you, it's the rules."
Jiang Yi smiled slightly, "If you want to learn from me, you must first become my disciple. These are the rules, don't you understand?"
"Hmph!"
Doctor Xue snorted coldly.
"Kid, don't get it wrong. I'm not begging you to teach me. I'm ordering you. Stop spouting nonsense. If you don't teach me these two needle techniques, I'll kill your woman first, and then I'll kill you!"
"Killing a weak woman is no feat. If you have the guts, try touching me!" Jiang Yi looked at Doctor Xue.
"It seems I need to show you a thing or two, or you won't know my capabilities."
With that said, Doctor Xue took out a packet of medicine from his pocket, opened it, and walked towards Jiang Yi step by step.
"This medicine was personally developed by me, called Heartbreak Powder. After taking it, your internal organs will slowly rot, and you'll endure unbearable pain every day, until you die. I don't even have an antidote for this medicine."
Upon reaching Jiang Yi, Doctor Xue prepared to force-feed him the medicine.
"Stop!"
Dongfang Mei shouted at Doctor Xue, "If you dare to touch him, I'll make sure you die without a complete corpse. I'm not joking, and I mean what I say."
"I didn't expect your feelings to be so strong. It's truly enviable!"
Doctor Xue smiled, "Unfortunately, this kid Zhang San isn't cooperating. You two can be a pair of doomed lovers!"
With that, Doctor Xue made his move, preparing to force the medicine into Jiang Yi.
Suddenly, Jiang Yi raised his hand and grabbed Doctor Xue's wrist.
Doctor Xue let out a pained scream.
Jiang Yi flicked his hand, and the medicine all spilled into Doctor Xue's mouth.
Doctor Xue's expression changed drastically!
Soon, a look of pain appeared on Doctor Xue's face.
What he intended to use on Jiang Yi, he ended up swallowing himself, a whole packet.
"You... how did you untie yourself?" Doctor Xue asked Jiang Yi loudly, his face ashen.
Jiang Yi was tied up by Doctor Xue himself. In his eyes, Jiang Yi couldn't possibly have untied himself.
"This is not difficult for me at all!"
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows.
"With your meager abilities, you dare to play tricks on me. You were lucky to have survived and could have left Jiang City alive, but you insisted on seeking death. You can't blame me."
Doctor Xue's face was filled with unwillingness.
Now that Doctor Xue had lost all his advantages and couldn't deal with Jiang Yi, he had no choice but to flee.
Jiang Yi did not pursue him.
He had swallowed the poison, a whole packet, and wouldn't live much longer.
Letting him leave was to avoid him dying in the villa.
Dying outside would mean fewer troublesome matters.
"Don't just stand there, hurry and untie me!" Dongfang Mei called out to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi walked over speechlessly and untied Dongfang Mei.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to leave, Dongfang Mei's expression suddenly turned grim, and then a look of pain appeared on her face.
Jiang Yi's brow furrowed.
Before Jiang Yi could understand what was happening, Dongfang Mei fell to the ground.
Without a moment's hesitation, Jiang Yi quickly picked Dongfang Mei up and placed her on the bed.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to examine Dongfang Mei, she cried out, "I can't breathe, I can't catch my breath..."
In this situation, artificial respiration was the only option.
But the next second, Jiang Yi felt something was off.
Jiang Yi placed his fingers on Dongfang Mei's pulse and was immediately speechless.
There was nothing wrong with Dongfang Mei's body; she was faking it.
This woman's acting skills were too good, he almost fell for it. Fortunately, he had a backup plan and checked her pulse.
"Stop pretending!"
Jiang Yi looked at Dongfang Mei.
Dongfang Mei continued to put on a pained expression.
"I don't have time to mess around with you. I still have matters concerning the Tiansheng Group to attend to. You stay in the villa and don't go anywhere!" Jiang Yi said and left the room directly.
After Jiang Yi left, Dongfang Mei sat up from the bed and began to sigh.
"This guy has no appreciation for beauty, making me waste my efforts." Dongfang Mei looked displeased.
"You were exposed long ago!"
Shadow walked in from the balcony.
"Nonsense!"
Dongfang Mei was a little angry.
"How is the investigation into what I asked you to look into going?" Dongfang Mei looked at Shadow.
"I couldn't find anything!"
Shadow said, "That assassin organization is too well hidden. To find them, we must first find the female assassin hidden in the hospital."
"Even if you can't find it, you must try. If you don't find any clues, don't come to see me!" Dongfang Mei's delicate brows furrowed.
Shadow said nothing and leaped from the window onto a nearby tree, disappearing.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yi got into his car and headed straight for the Tiansheng Group.
It was already ten o'clock!
He had wasted quite a bit of time.
He had to get to the Tiansheng Group as quickly as possible.
At this moment, in the lobby of the Tiansheng Group.
Liu Feng, the head of the Liu family, and Liu Tianyu were sitting on the sofa with arrogant expressions.
In addition to them, dozens of people from the Jiang Province Chamber of Commerce were in the courtyard.
Outside the company's main entrance, reporters were already gathered.
Liu Feng's goal today was to get rid of Jiang Yi.
Dong Rui, Chen Kun, and several leaders of the Tiansheng Group wore solemn expressions.
Jiang Yi had not arrived yet, which made them very worried.
Additionally, Ye Yanran had also arrived.
This time, Ye Yanran had chosen to stand with the Tiansheng Group.
"Did something happen to the chairman? He still hasn't arrived at the company. Hurry and call him to ask," Dong Rui said to Chen Kun.
"I've called him several times, but I couldn't get through," Chen Kun said helplessly.
