"I heard Ye Yanran spared no expense to hire the best chefs in the capital to entertain the tour group,"
"She also had the hotel redecorated. Now all the tour group members are staying at the Royal Hotel. Ye Yanran's efforts were all in vain!"
Dongfang Mei said.
Thinking of Ye Yanran's displeased expression, Dongfang Mei couldn't help but feel delighted.
"I still have things to do. Remember to wait for me when work ends, and we'll go back together!"
After speaking, Dongfang Mei left the office.
Seeing Dongfang Mei so happy, Jiang Yi was also very pleased.
Around six in the afternoon, Jiang Yi left the office, preparing to find Dongfang Mei.
Suddenly, Xu Yun, the secretary of Changsun Xiong, walked out of the elevator.
Xu Yun was Changsun Xiong's personal secretary. Her coming to the Royal Hotel must be to find him.
"Mr. Jiang, I finally found you!"
Xu Yun walked towards Jiang Yi.
"What do you need me for? Is it that your chairman is in trouble again?" Jiang Yi asked.
"The chairman is fine!"
Xu Yun glanced around, seeing that no one was paying attention, and then whispered to Jiang Yi, "You're the one in trouble this time. Just a few hours ago, Ye Xiaofeng, Ye Yanran's brother, was robbed of over twenty million yuan while trying to deposit it at the bank. Ye Xiaofeng was also injured."
"Ye Xiaofeng insists that you orchestrated the robbery!"
Jiang Yi was quite angered when he heard this.
This was clearly an open and blatant frame-up!
Someone must have instructed Ye Xiaofeng to do this.
"The chairman knows you're being framed, but the vice-chairman insists on pursuing this matter to the end. The vice-chairman claims he has evidence that you committed this crime. The chairman is trying to intercede for you, but it's not having much effect," Xu Yun said.
"What evidence does the vice-chairman have?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I don't know!"
Xu Yun shook her head. "The vice-chairman can't have any solid proof. Even if he does, it must be fabricated evidence. The fact that he's unwilling to reveal it must mean he's guilty!"
"The vice-chairman knows it's impossible to convict me, yet he's still playing these games. He must have some ulterior motive," Jiang Yi said with a cold smile.
"The chairman said the vice-chairman is likely doing this to ruin your reputation!"
Xu Yun continued, "The vice-chairman must have a next step planned. The chairman wants to invite you to the Capital Chamber of Commerce to discuss how to handle this matter."
"Alright!"
Jiang Yi nodded.
He was curious to see what tricks the vice-chairman could pull.
Even though it was a baseless accusation, Jiang Yi still had to be cautious!
The laws in Huaxia Country were strict, and robbery was a serious offense. Even robbing a few thousand yuan could lead to imprisonment.
Ye Xiaofeng's false accusation that Jiang Yi had robbed twenty million yuan, if not cleared, could sentence Jiang Yi to life imprisonment.
It had to be said, these scoundrels were truly ruthless.
Jiang Yi left the Royal Hotel with Xu Yun.
As soon as they reached the hotel entrance, several cars drove over, surrounding Jiang Yi.
Then, the car doors opened, and a group of people from the Provincial Chamber of Commerce stepped out.
They were all people loyal to the vice-chairman.
And the person leading them was none other than Song Tong.
Jiang Yi hadn't expected Dongfang Xun to be involved as well.
"Jiang Yi, you didn't expect to fall into my hands today, did you!"
Song Tong's face was full of triumph.
"The vice-chairman appreciates me and appointed me as a section chief of the Capital Chamber of Commerce. I am now a person of authority. I'm here today on the vice-chairman's orders to arrest you and bring you to the Capital Chamber of Commerce for questioning."
Although the Capital Chamber of Commerce was an informal business organization, anyone in the business world was subject to its commercial interrogations.
"Come with me. Don't force me to act!"
Song Tong said to Jiang Yi with a gloomy expression.
"You're not qualified to make me go with you. You're just a mere section chief!"
Jiang Yi said indifferently.
"Mr. Jiang is correct. You are just a section chief. This matter is decided by the chairman, and it's not up to a section chief to give orders and act arrogantly here!"
Xu Yun's gaze fell on Song Tong.
"Xu Yun, the chairman is behind you, and I am also behind the chairman. Besides, this matter is handled by the vice-chairman, and it's not Chairman Changsun's place to interfere!" Song Tong retorted, unyielding.
Xu Yun ignored Song Tong and said to Jiang Yi, "Mr. Jiang, please get in the car!"
"Mm!"
Jiang Yi nodded and got into the car.
Then, Xu Yun started the car and drove towards the Capital Chamber of Commerce.
"What is Xu Yun? She's just a mere secretary, yet she dares to disregard the vice-chairman. One day, I will make you pay!"
Song Tong said furiously.
Song Tong was filled with resentment.
She had originally intended to arrest Jiang Yi herself and bring him to the Capital Chamber of Commerce, but she had arrived too late and Xu Yun had beaten her to it.
"What are you guys waiting for? Go and snatch Jiang Yi back!"
Song Tong roared at the people behind her.
The faces of those behind her were filled with helplessness.
"Section Chief, absolutely not!"
A middle-aged man said to Song Tong, "Xu Yun is Chairman Changsun's personal secretary. She has more influence and reputation in the Capital Chamber of Commerce than us. Furthermore, if we take action, Chairman Changsun will definitely seize the opportunity, which would be detrimental to the vice-chairman."
Hearing this, Song Tong, despite her unwillingness, had to give up.
Song Tong regretted not arriving earlier.
At this time, Jiang Yi and Xu Yun were on their way to the Capital Chamber of Commerce.
As Xu Yun drove, she said to Jiang Yi, "Mr. Jiang, don't worry. Once we reach the Capital Chamber of Commerce, the chairman will ensure your safety, and the vice-chairman won't dare to do anything to you."
Jiang Yi remained silent.
Even without Changsun Xiong, the vice-chairman wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
Jiang Yi had already lost count of the people who wanted him dead from Jiang City to the capital, yet he was still alive and well.
Moreover, he didn't take a mere vice-chairman seriously.
Jiang Yi's reason for going to the Capital Chamber of Commerce today was to see what schemes Ye Xiaofeng and the vice-chairman had up their sleeves.
"Mr. Jiang, could this matter be related to Ye Yanran?" Xu Yun asked Jiang Yi.
"It has nothing to do with Ye Yanran!"
Jiang Yi said with certainty. "Although Ye Yanran hates me, and she has changed a lot, her actions are always aboveboard. She wouldn't use such despicable means. However, Ye Yanran must know about it; she just doesn't want to get involved."
Hearing this, Xu Yun's brows furrowed slightly.
Jiang Yi's relationship with Ye Yanran made Xu Yun feel perplexed. She wanted to ask, but ultimately didn't.
This was personal privacy, and Xu Yun had no right to inquire further.
