"Mr. Stephen, I didn't expect you to be such a tea enthusiast, drinking tea right from the early morning!" Dongfang Mei said with a smile towards Stephen.
"Drinking tea is healthy and beneficial for the body."
Stephen replied with a smile.
Afterward, Stephen's gaze fell on Jiang Yi, and he spoke to Jiang Yi with a solemn expression, "I just received news that your uncle has bribed an assassination organization from Eagle Country, planning to use them to kill you in Eagle Country. Your current situation is extremely dangerous!"
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
With his and Dongfang Mei's skills, it wouldn't matter how many people his uncle sent.
If one came, they would deal with one.
If there was an opportunity, Jiang Yi would directly eliminate this assassination organization, considering it a public service.
"I need to go to a bank in Chinatown to pick up something. I'll be back in the evening," Jiang Yi said.
The journey to Chinatown from here would only take about an hour. Jiang Yi planned to take Dongfang Mei sightseeing, trying to avoid Alice as much as possible.
"I'm still not entirely at ease. How about this, I'll have my bodyguards accompany you. Their skills are quite good and they can ensure your safety." Stephen said with a frown.
"If you have bodyguards follow me, it will actually be inconvenient and make us a more obvious target," Jiang Yi said.
Seeing Jiang Yi repeatedly refuse, Stephen could only give up.
Jiang Yi said goodbye to Stephen and left Stephen's castle.
On the street outside, Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei hailed a taxi and headed straight for the bank in Chinatown.
"Your uncle is making such a big fuss. Could it be about that suitcase?" Dongfang Mei said.
"It's possible!"
Jiang Yi nodded.
"What exactly is inside that suitcase?" Dongfang Mei was very curious.
"I don't know either. I asked my mother, and she said she didn't know," Jiang Yi replied.
Dongfang Mei began to speculate.
Dongfang Mei guessed that the suitcase might contain some classified documents or perhaps an inheritance left for Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi didn't have the inclination to guess.
Because once they reached the Chinatown bank and retrieved the suitcase, they would know what was inside.
Two hours later, Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei arrived in Chinatown.
Chinatown, as the name suggests, refers to a place where Chinese people gather. After these Chinese migrated to Eagle Country, being outsiders, they were often bullied by the locals.
Therefore, to avoid being bullied, these Chinese people all gathered in one place to live.
Although Chinatown was small, it had everything: banks, shops, and many companies.
Eagle Country had quite a few Chinatowns.
And this particular Chinatown had only appeared a few years ago.
As Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei entered Chinatown, they saw a very tall stone sculpture on the street, which looked exceptionally imposing.
Despite being just a stone sculpture, it exuded a regal aura that ordinary people lacked.
Many tourists were standing beside the sculpture, taking commemorative photos.
When Jiang Yi saw the sculpture, his brow furrowed slightly.
Jiang Yi recognized at a glance that the original model for this sculpture was him, carved according to his likeness.
Jiang Yi was not mistaken; this sculpture was of Jiang Yi.
When Jiang Yi had first come to Eagle Country years ago, he had coincidentally arrived during an economic crisis that caused many to lose their jobs, with the Chinese being the most severely affected.
Chinese people in Eagle Country could barely find any work, and most were displaced. However, they couldn't return to their home country, so they could only become vagrants.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi did not hesitate to take out all his money and build housing on this land that was once a ruin. He also opened several companies, providing these Chinese people with places to live and job opportunities.
To express their gratitude to Jiang Yi, these Chinese people pooled money to create this sculpture to commemorate him.
Jiang Yi furrowed his brow because he felt it was inappropriate.
Generally, sculptures were only erected as memorials after a person had passed away.
"Who is this person? Why does he look a bit like you?" Dongfang Mei said as she looked at the sculpture.
It was not surprising that Dongfang Mei didn't recognize it.
This was because sculptures couldn't perfectly capture a person's facial features.
The only things that could be conveyed were a person's demeanor and basic outline.
Not only Dongfang Mei but even the passing Chinese people didn't recognize the sculpture.
Jiang Yi hadn't stayed in Eagle Country for very long back then, so there were only a few people who knew him. Su Dan Novel Network
"He's your husband!"
Jiang Yi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Dongfang Mei rolled her eyes at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi smiled and didn't offer any further explanation.
Soon, Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei arrived at the lobby of the Chinatown bank.
Jiang Yi took a number and sat on a chair in the lobby, waiting.
There were quite a few people in the bank lobby, but they were mostly Chinese.
"Mr. Jiang, it's Mr. Jiang..."
A child nearby pointed at Jiang Yi and shouted to his mother.
The child's mother looked at Jiang Yi for a moment and then smiled, "You're right, he does look quite similar."
"Mom, is this Mr. Jiang?" the child asked.
"Definitely not."
The child's mother said, "Thanks to Mr. Jiang's help, we have such a good life now and are not bullied. Mr. Jiang never returned after leaving Eagle Country years ago."
"He is our benefactor. I truly hope that one day, he will return to see us."
Hearing this, the child's face was filled with anticipation.
In the eyes of these Chinese people, Jiang Yi was not only their benefactor but also a hero in their hearts.
When the street was being built years ago, many ruffians came to cause trouble, and it was Jiang Yi who took action to drive them away. On that occasion, Jiang Yi fought against hundreds of people alone.
Jiang Yi remembered that it was the first time he had been injured.
"These people here admire this Mr. Jiang so much that they even erected a sculpture to commemorate him. This Mr. Jiang must be an extraordinary person," Dongfang Mei said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at? You don't think that just because your surname is Jiang, you're that Mr. Jiang, do you!" Dongfang Mei began to tease Jiang Yi.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to reply, the bank manager walked out of his office. After lingering in the lobby for a moment, he turned to leave the bank.
As the bank manager passed by Jiang Yi, he suddenly stopped, his gaze lingering on Jiang Yi as he studied him.
Subsequently, the bank manager's face filled with surprise and excitement. He walked up to Jiang Yi, grasped his hand tightly, and was unable to utter a single word.
The bank manager had recognized Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath. He had originally intended to pick up the suitcase and leave quietly. However, he hadn't expected to be recognized after all.
