Chou Fang had not been cured of his poison since he was poisoned.
He had sought out many renowned physicians to cure him, but none had succeeded.
Chou Fang's health was deteriorating rapidly!
If things continued this way, it was uncertain if he could even last until the end of the year.
"Jiang Yi, you have disappointed me too much!"
Chou Fang roared at Jiang Yi, "I told you to eliminate Manager Yang's subordinates, but you've done nothing. Just a few days ago, several of my trusted men were killed by Manager Yang's subordinates!"
"Furthermore, I received intelligence that Manager Yang's subordinates have colluded with Manager Yang's adopted son. Their influence is growing daily. If this continues, not only I, but the entire Wanhui Company will be in danger!"
"Boss, I truly have no choice!"
Jiang Yi feigned helplessness.
"Manager Yang's subordinates are too cunning. I haven't had any opportunity to act. If I had a chance, I would have done so long ago!"
"Nonsense! It's not that you don't have the opportunity, but that you don't want to act!" Chou Fang said angrily.
Chou Fang was not a fool. This time, Jiang Yi could no longer deceive him.
"You don't need to handle this matter anymore!"
Chou Fang stated, "I've already arranged for Dark Shadow to take action. Within a week, Manager Yang's subordinates and his adopted son will meet their maker..."
Jiang Yi inwardly sneered.
Things were not that simple.
Manager Yang's adopted son was a formidable opponent. Eliminating him within a week was practically impossible, even if Dark Shadow acted personally.
The fact that Manager Yang's adopted son dared to oppose Wanhui Company meant he possessed considerable capability.
"You are of no use to me anymore. You will no longer be a manager! Continue to be an assassin!"
Chou Fang's sharp gaze fell upon Jiang Yi as he spoke, "You should be well aware of our profession's rules. Once you become an assassin, there is no turning back!"
"If you dare to slip away, you will be hunted by the entire assassin world. Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you will surely die!"
"Of course, I know!" Jiang Yi replied.
"Good that you know. Now, get out!" Chou Fang said sternly.
Jiang Yi did not leave but sat down on a nearby chair.
"Do you have something else to say? Do you intend to disobey my orders?" Chou Fang asked.
"I will naturally obey your commands!"
After speaking, Jiang Yi asked Chou Fang, "There's something I wish to understand. Our company has a clerk named Dongfang Mei. She was kidnapped. Boss, do you know who is responsible?"
"How would I know?"
Chou Fang snorted and said, "I know that woman. She just started working at our company. You were quite close to her. If I'm not mistaken, you two might have gotten together."
"That's right, we are together now! Her disappearance worries me greatly."
Jiang Yi continued to ask, "Boss, do you truly not know who kidnapped Dongfang Mei?"
"Jiang Yi, what do you mean by that? Are you suspecting me?"
Chou Fang sneered after speaking.
"I have no interest in such a minor figure."
Jiang Yi's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.
Chou Fang did not appear to be lying!
Besides, if Chou Fang had ordered Dongfang Mei's kidnapping, he wouldn't have bothered to explain so much; he would have simply used Dongfang Mei to threaten him!
This made Jiang Yi even more perplexed.
If Chou Fang didn't kidnap Dongfang Mei, then who did?
This matter was too strange!
Could it be the powerful boss behind Wanhui Company?
As this thought crossed his mind, Jiang Yi's brow furrowed deeply.
If the big boss behind Wanhui Company had kidnapped Dongfang Mei, then it would be truly dire.
The boss operated in the shadows, making it impossible to rescue Dongfang Mei.
"Have you found the number one divine physician in the capital?" Jiang Yi asked gravely.
"I found him, but Jack got to him first and captured the number one divine physician in the capital!" Jiang Yi stated.
Upon hearing this, Chou Fang's expression turned grim.
"Unacceptable!"
Chou Fang roared in anger.
His poison could only be cured by the number one divine physician in the capital.
But now, the divine physician was in Jack's hands.
This chilled Chou Fang to the bone.
"Jack's intention is to kill the number one divine physician in Jiang City. If the divine physician dies, then no one will be able to cure my poison. You will depart immediately, find Old Jack, and talk to him, asking him to have his son Jack release the physician!" Chou Fang instructed.
Chou Fang was unaware that the number one divine physician in Jiang City was Jiang Yi himself.
Jiang Yi rarely made public appearances, so not many people knew he was the number one divine physician in the capital.
"Alright, I'll go talk to Old Jack right away!" Jiang Yi replied.
"Hurry up, go now, or it will be too late!" Chou Fang urged.
Jiang Yi responded with an acknowledgment and left the office!
Since Dongfang Mei was not kidnapped by Chou Fang, Jiang Yi decided not to act for the time being.
Acting now would be meaningless; he would wait.
As soon as Jiang Yi arrived at the office, Chou Shao Ye and Shi Jin hurried over.
"How did it go? Did you handle it?" Chou Shao Ye eagerly asked.
Chou Shao Ye was impatient to become the boss of Wanhui Company, so he was anxious to know if Chou Fang had been killed by Jiang Yi.
"Dongfang Mei wasn't kidnapped by your father!" Jiang Yi said.
"Are you saying you didn't act?" Chou Shao Ye asked, his brow furrowed.
"That's correct!"
Jiang Yi stated, "Since Dongfang Mei wasn't kidnapped by your father, there's no reason for me to act. Let's wait a while longer! When the opportunity arises, I will definitely act and ensure you become the company's boss, replacing your father."
"Jiang Yi, you have disappointed me immensely!"
Chou Shao Ye yelled in anger.
"At such a golden opportunity, you actually didn't act! If we continue to wait, something bad will happen sooner or later. My father is very intelligent, and he has likely already sensed our actions today! Your actions will put us in a passive position, and we might even lose our lives!"
"Shut your mouth!"
Shi Jin glared at Chou Shao Ye, "Don't think you're anything special just because you're Young Master Chou. If you dare to yell at Mr. Jiang again, I'll deal with you right now!"
Hearing this, Chou Shao Ye was thoroughly incensed.
"Jiang Yi, your subordinate lacks discipline. Kill him for me!" Chou Shao Ye ordered Jiang Yi.
Being insulted by Jiang Yi's subordinate was something Chou Shao Ye could not tolerate.
"Shi Jin did nothing wrong!" Jiang Yi stated.
"You dare to defy my orders, Jiang Yi? What? Are you planning to rebel?" Chou Shao Ye roared.
"So what if I rebel?"
Jiang Yi's sharp gaze fell upon Chou Shao Ye, and he said faintly, "Don't put on airs of being a young master in front of me! I warn you, you are nothing right now. My cooperation with you is out of respect for you!"
"You obediently do what you need to do. Once I eliminate your father, I will naturally let you become the boss of Wanhui Company."
