Overlord Star

Chapter 678 Suffer in Silence

Dongfang Mei explained, "The Royal Hotel has spies planted by Ye Yanran, and one of these spies is a killer. Jiang Xiaomei's exceptional abilities would surely attract Ye Yanran's attention."

"I didn't want to lose such talented personnel, so I had Shadow secretly protect Jiang Xiaomei. Shadow usually remains unseen and only intervenes when Jiang Xiaomei is in danger."

Hearing this, Jiang Yi felt a bit embarrassed.

He had misunderstood Dongfang Mei.

Seeing Jiang Yi's expression, Dongfang Mei couldn't help but chuckle.

"You don't need to feel awkward. It's partly my fault too. I should have informed you in advance, which would have prevented this misunderstanding!" Dongfang Mei said.

Just as Jiang Yi was about to reply, his phone rang.

Jiang Yi picked up his phone and saw it was Shi Jin calling.

"Mr. Jiang, Bo Ren has appeared. Hurry over!" Shi Jin said excitedly into the phone.

At the same time, Shi Jin provided Jiang Yi with the address.

"Shi Jin says Bo Ren has appeared, and I need to go quickly," Jiang Yi told Dongfang Mei.

"I'll have Shadow accompany you."

Dongfang Mei's expression was grave.

Dongfang Mei knew very well how dangerous Bo Ren was, and having Shadow go with Jiang Yi would put her at ease.

"There's no need!"

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry! With Shi Jin and the others there, I'll be fine. Besides, with my skills, no one can harm me."

Dongfang Mei had no choice but to urge Jiang Yi to be careful.

After leaving the Royal Hotel, Jiang Yi drove directly to the villa complex.

An hour later, Jiang Yi arrived at the entrance of the villa complex.

As soon as he entered, he encountered Shi Jin, who was sitting on a bench by the roadside, drinking coffee.

Upon seeing Jiang Yi, Shi Jin quickly stood up.

Shi Jin scanned the surroundings, and seeing no one paying attention, he pointed to a very luxurious villa and said to Jiang Yi, "Mr. Jiang, that villa belongs to Bo Ren's mistress."

"We were monitoring Bo Ren's mistress's phone call and learned that Bo Ren would return to this villa at 2 PM. It's 1 PM now, and in an hour, Bo Ren will be here!"

"Are all the arrangements in place?" Jiang Yi asked.

"Everything is set. My people are all around the villa. Once Bo Ren enters, he won't be able to escape, no matter how hard he tries," Shi Jin said proudly.

"Bo Ren is a cunning old fox. Be extremely careful; there can be no carelessness," Jiang Yi said.

"Understood!"

Shi Jin nodded.

Just then, a car drove into the villa complex and stopped directly beside Jiang Yi.

As the car window slid down, Jiang Yi saw Young Master Qiu and Qiu Fang.

Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh.

He hadn't expected Qiu Fang to show up in person!

Since Qiu Fang had delivered himself to his doorstep, he would deal with both Bo Ren and Qiu Fang, and then completely destroy Wan Hui Company.

"Jiang Yi, I heard you received word that Bo Ren will be coming to see his mistress shortly. How could you not inform me about something so important? Are you perhaps still distrustful of me?" Qiu Fang stared at Jiang Yi and said.

"You're overthinking it!"

Jiang Yi replied, "It's not about trusting you. I just felt that Bo Ren alone was someone I could handle, and I didn't expect you to personally get involved."

"Don't try that with me!"

Qiu Fang said coldly, "If I hadn't helped you capture Bo Ren, you would have had an excuse not to give me the antidote, and you could have reneged on your promise. But if I help you capture Bo Ren, you'll have no way to back out!"

Jiang Yi shrugged.

He had indeed intended to renege.

With someone like Qiu Fang, there was no need for integrity.

Even if Qiu Fang helped Jiang Yi capture Bo Ren, Jiang Yi would not give him the antidote, nor would he let him go. Dealing with such people required employing any means necessary.

Jiang Yi had no intention of letting Qiu Fang off the hook from the very beginning.

Because Qiu Fang believed himself to be very clever, he had actually been played by Jiang Yi all along.

Jiang Yi had used him to eliminate Manager Sun and Manager Yang, leaving him without his right-hand men!

"Is my antidote ready?"

Qiu Fang said to Jiang Yi, "After I help you capture Bo Ren, you must give me the antidote immediately. To be honest, I've brought quite a few killers with me this time. If you try any tricks with me, you won't leave here alive."

Jiang Yi smiled slightly upon hearing this.

Qiu Fang was too arrogant!

Even if he brought all the killers from Wan Hui Company, it would be useless.

Qiu Fang's trump cards were Red Fox and Dark Shadow. What he didn't know was that Red Fox was his man, and all of Dark Shadow obeyed Red Fox.

Furthermore, Jiang Yi also possessed over fifty elite killers he had personally trained.

These killers were in no way comparable to the killers from Wan Hui Company.

How could Qiu Fang possibly contend with Jiang Yi?

He was already on the verge of death, yet he dared to be so arrogant in front of Jiang Yi.

He didn't realize that despair was about to await him.

"Qiu Fang, how dare you threaten Mr. Jiang! I won't let you get away with this today!"

Shi Jin said angrily to Qiu Fang.

As soon as he heard Qiu Fang threatening Jiang Yi, Shi Jin was enraged!

"You're just a subordinate of Jiang Yi. Who gave you the audacity to speak to me in that tone?"

Qiu Fang glanced at Shi Jin, then his gaze fell back on Jiang Yi.

"The people under you are becoming more and more arrogant. I am the boss of Wan Hui Company. In terms of status and position, you, Jiang Yi, are beneath me, let alone your subordinate."

Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"What are you laughing at?"

Qiu Fang asked with a snort.

"Boss Qiu, as you just said, you are the esteemed boss of Wan Hui Company, while Shi Jin is merely one of my subordinates."

"For such a distinguished figure like yourself to be arguing with one of my subordinates, wouldn't it become a laughing matter if it got out?" Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.

Qiu Fang's face darkened.

"Jiang Yi, don't play these games with me. I warn you, keep your subordinates in line, or you will regret it."

Qiu Fang said angrily.

Jiang Yi gave Qiu Fang no face this time, which made Qiu Fang extremely angry.

However, at this moment, Qiu Fang was powerless against Jiang Yi.

If he were to fall out with Jiang Yi now, he would not get the antidote, and his life would be forfeit!

Therefore, until he received the antidote, Qiu Fang had no choice but to suffer in silence.

"Boss Qiu, Shi Jin rented a villa in this complex to conveniently monitor Bo Ren's mistress. Why don't you come with us for a cup of tea? Bo Ren hasn't arrived yet, so there's no need to rush," Jiang Yi said to Qiu Fang.

"I don't like tea!" Qiu Fang said flatly.

"If that's the case, then forget it!"

After saying this, Jiang Yi and Shi Jin walked towards a villa not far away.
