“Young Master Jiang, why don't you trust me? I told you, the special envoy is not seeing anyone right now; she needs to rest!”
“If you don't believe me, go in and see for yourself!”
Jiang Yi moved aside, giving Jiang Tian a clear path.
Jiang Tian dared not barge into the special envoy's residence. He had to believe her now, whether he wanted to or not.
“Brother, if the special envoy wakes up, please tell her that I have something very important to discuss with her.”
Jiang Tian said to Jiang Yi with a grim expression.
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi nodded, then deliberately asked, “What important matter is it that requires disturbing the special envoy?”
“Ge Da, in order to avenge his son, deliberately went against the Jiang Group. All our Jiang family's forces in Ximeng State have been wiped out by him through despicable means.”
“This has greatly weakened my power. Now, only the special envoy can help me get revenge. With just a word from the special envoy, Lord Barre will definitely take action to deal with Ge Da! Only then can my influence be restored!”
Jiang Tian said with a solemn expression.
Jiang Yi sneered upon hearing this.
It seemed Jiang Tian was still kept in the dark. The ones who destroyed those forces were not Ge Da at all, but himself.
Moreover, Meinaisha might not necessarily help Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian was not worth the royal family's support; Meinaisha had already decided to treat Jiang Tian as a pawn.
Otherwise, Meinaisha would not have chosen to stand by his side.
In short, no matter how much Jiang Tian struggled, it was useless. He had no chance to turn the situation around anymore.
Jiang Tian's defeat was inevitable.
In fact, Jiang Yi could have killed Jiang Tian earlier. The reason Jiang Yi hadn't acted directly was that he intended to annex these forces while destroying the Jiang family's influence, thereby strengthening Tiansheng Group's power.
Now that his goal had been achieved, Jiang Yi naturally wouldn't show mercy.
“Brother, I’ll be busy now!”
Jiang Tian said to Jiang Yi and then turned to leave.
Jiang Yi watched Jiang Tian’s retreating back, a smile curving his lips.
After Jiang Tian’s figure disappeared, Jiang Yi returned to the small courtyard.
Meinaisha was not actually napping. She was leisurely sitting in a chair in the courtyard, drinking coffee.
“Although we are in a cooperative relationship, I will not act easily!”
“Jiang Tian is not much, but Jiang Wanli holds a very important position in the business world. Once I act, it would be equivalent to our royal family completely falling out with Jiang Wanli.”
“At that time, it will be difficult for our royal family to cope with Jiang Wanli’s backlash. In short, unless the royal family makes a final decision, I will not help you deal with Jiang Tian!”
Meinaisha warned Jiang Yi.
“There’s no need for you to act in this matter. Dealing with a mere Jiang Tian is something I can easily handle!”
“You don’t need to do anything right now; that in itself is helping me!”
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
For such a minor matter, Jiang Yi did not need Meinaisha's help at all.
Besides, Jiang Yi knew that both Meinaisha and the royal nobles of Eagle Country were very fickle.
Their words could change the next moment, and they might even strike back.
Therefore, Jiang Yi did not fully trust Meinaisha.
“What do you plan to do about Jiang Tian?”
Meinaisha asked Jiang Yi.
“It's very simple. Next, I will destroy the Jiang Group in Ximeng State and then deal with the assassin organization in this castle.”
“As for Jiang Tian, I can kill him or not. Having a fool like Jiang Tian as my opponent is too much fun. I haven't had enough of playing yet!”
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
Meinaisha frowned upon hearing this.
She now understood that Jiang Yi intended to toy with Jiang Tian like a monkey, and Jiang Tian still hadn't figured out what was happening, remaining completely under Jiang Yi's control.
“Go and do something for me now!”
Meinaisha said to Jiang Yi.
“Miss Meinaisha, I already helped you deal with Prince Matthew’s private doctor before, and you haven’t done anything for me. This is too unfair! Now you’re asking me to continue helping you, and I refuse!”
Jiang Yi directly refused.
Seeing Jiang Yi being so disobedient, Meinaisha’s face darkened.
“What will it take for you to agree?”
“It’s very simple. I want to obtain a noble title. If you handle this for me, I will continue to work for you. Otherwise, there’s no room for negotiation!”
Jiang Yi stated directly.
“Didn’t I tell you last time? Obtaining a noble title is not that simple. It requires the king’s approval!”
Meinaisha was very displeased. “If you want a noble title, you must earn merits. Once you have enough merits, you can exchange them for a noble title, and I will definitely ensure you get one. My word as Meinaisha is never broken!”
“What is said might not be trustworthy!”
Jiang Yi shrugged.
“Then what do you want?”
Meinaisha asked.
“You must write a letter of guarantee, sign it personally, and affix your handprint!”
Jiang Yi said directly.
Hearing this, Meinaisha’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.
This was the first time she had been threatened into writing a letter of guarantee, but Meinaisha had no choice.
The mission assigned by the imperial capital could only be completed by Jiang Yi.
Even if Meinaisha was unwilling, she had to comply with Jiang Yi.
Meinaisha had already decided to teach Jiang Yi a lesson after he completed the mission.
“It’s just a letter of guarantee, isn’t it? I’ll write it!”
Meinaisha said, and then she wrote the letter of guarantee, signed her name, and affixed her handprint.
The letter of guarantee clearly stated that Meinaisha guaranteed to grant Jiang Yi a noble title within six months.
“Thank you, Miss Meinaisha!”
Jiang Yi grinned and took the letter of guarantee to examine it.
Finding no issues, Jiang Yi then put the letter of guarantee away.
With this letter of guarantee now in hand, Jiang Yi was no longer worried that Meinaisha would go back on her word.
Meinaisha looked at Jiang Yi with anger in her eyes.
“Miss Meinaisha, you can tell me about the mission now. What exactly is this mission that makes you so anxious, to the point of enduring humiliation and writing me a letter of guarantee!”
Jiang Yi was very curious.
“A while ago, a guard captain of our royal nobles was captured by Prince Matthew’s men during a mission. We investigated, and the guard captain was not executed by Prince Matthew, nor was he escorted to the capital.”
“We deduced that the guard captain must have been brought into the Grand Duke’s mansion in Ximeng State by Prince Matthew.”
Meinaisha said with a grave expression.
“So, what do you want me to do?”
Jiang Yi asked.
“I hope you can find a way to rescue the guard captain. His family is waiting for him to return!”
Meinaisha said with some sadness.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but sneer upon hearing this.
From this incident, it was clear that Meinaisha did not take his life and safety seriously at all!
