Manager Yang was right; Jiang Yi’s goal was to lure out the big boss and destroy Wanhui Company.
So far, he had only gotten rid of Manager Yang.
Jiang Yi was still a long way from achieving his objective.
“Jiang Yi, from now on, you will continue to be a killer and dedicate yourself to the company. As for your manager position, I will find someone else to replace you!”
Qiu Fang’s gaze fell upon Jiang Yi.
Manager Yang’s words earlier had already made Jiang Yi suspicious.
“Dad, Jiang Yi is innocent. How can you doubt him?” Young Master Qiu quickly spoke up in Jiang Yi’s defense.
“It’s not that I don’t trust Jiang Yi!”
Qiu Fang feigned a look of helplessness. “What Manager Yang said earlier will eventually get out. If I continue to rely heavily on Jiang Yi, many people in the company will gossip behind his back. I’m doing this to clear Jiang Yi’s name. When Jiang Yi makes contributions in the future, I will promote him again!”
Hearing this, Young Master Qiu could only remain silent.
Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh inwardly.
Even if Qiu Fang didn’t promote him, he still held considerable influence within the company. Hong Hu was his person, and Jiang Yi commanded over fifty elite killers. This force alone could dismantle the company in an instant.
However, now was not the time. Jiang Yi decided to wait a little longer.
Until the boss behind the scenes revealed himself, Jiang Yi would not make his move easily.
Furthermore, Qiu Fang currently needed Jiang Yi’s help to deal with Manager Yang’s remaining influence. Without Jiang Yi’s assistance, Qiu Fang would be helpless against them.
Jiang Yi could afford to do nothing for now, waiting for Qiu Fang to seek his help.
“Jiang Yi, you have no objections to me doing this, right?” Qiu Fang asked Jiang Yi.
“No objections!” Jiang Yi said with a smile. “This is your decision as the boss, and you have your reasons for acting this way.”
Jiang Yi didn’t care about the manager’s position.
“With your words, I feel relieved. I truly didn’t misjudge you back then; you are a sensible person,” Qiu Fang said with satisfaction.
Jiang Yi’s heart sneered again.
Qiu Fang was clearly suspicious of him, yet he spoke so honorably.
“Alright, this matter ends here. You two may leave now!” Qiu Fang declared.
Jiang Yi and Young Master Qiu acknowledged this and left Qiu Fang’s office.
Out in the corridor, Young Master Qiu took a deep breath. He hadn't yet recovered from what had just happened.
Young Master Qiu had been quite frightened!
He never imagined that someone as shrewd as Manager Yang would fall into Qiu Fang’s hands like this, losing his life in the process.
“Jiang Yi, I think we should give up!”
Young Master Qiu said to Jiang Yi with a look of helplessness. “We can’t fight against my father. Manager Yang is a prime example. I don’t want to lose my life for nothing!”
“Alright, but what about Hu Niang?”
Jiang Yi looked at Young Master Qiu. “Do you want to watch Hu Niang die? You know very well that only by becoming the boss of the company can you ensure Hu Niang’s safety. Besides, do you really think your father doesn’t suspect you? He just has no evidence to prove your betrayal. Once he finds enough proof, your fate will likely be worse than Manager Yang’s!”
Hearing this, Young Master Qiu’s brows furrowed slightly.
Jiang Yi knew that Young Master Qiu had been scared out of his wits by the recent events, which was why he was considering backing out at the last minute.
“Don’t be afraid. With my help, you will succeed. You have to believe me!” Jiang Yi said.
After a long hesitation, Young Master Qiu finally nodded.
“I have no other choice now; I can only go down this path. But I hope I succeed and don’t fail. I’m still so young, and I don’t want to die!”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely help you successfully become the boss of the company!” Jiang Yi vowed.
Young Master Qiu nodded.
“I’m going back now. Call me if anything comes up!”
After saying this, Young Master Qiu turned and left.
Jiang Yi watched Young Master Qiu’s retreating back and took a deep breath. This guy didn’t trust him.
If it weren’t for the need to force the big boss out into the open, Jiang Yi could have killed Qiu Fang right then and made him the boss of Wanhui Company.
However, Jiang Yi was not foolish enough to act without certainty.
Upon returning to his office, Jiang Yi poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.
After a short while, Jiang Yi prepared to leave.
Just then, Qiu Fang’s secretary walked in from outside.
“Is there something?” Jiang Yi asked.
“Of course, there is!”
The secretary’s gaze fell on Jiang Yi. “The boss is already very suspicious of you and is secretly sending Hong Hu to investigate you, collecting evidence of your betrayal. You are in great danger now. You should leave quickly! If you stay at Wanhui Company, your final outcome will be death.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
“What are you laughing at?” the secretary asked, frowning.
“A mere Qiu Fang cannot kill me!”
Jiang Yi said, “If Qiu Fang wants to investigate me, let him. If he really wants to make a move, I will accompany him to the very end!”
“Your words are quite bold. Have you forgotten Manager Yang’s fate? Even someone as intelligent as Manager Yang fell into Qiu Fang’s hands, let alone you?” the secretary sneered.
“Manager Yang didn’t grasp the right timing, which is why he ended up like this. I won’t be as foolish as Manager Yang!” Jiang Yi replied.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Jiang Yi, the secretary left his office.
The secretary wasn’t genuinely trying to help Jiang Yi; she had been bought off. To get money, she advised Jiang Yi to leave.
Jiang Yi knew exactly what she was thinking.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Yi left Wanhui Company.
As soon as he reached the entrance, he sensed someone following him.
Jiang Yi paid it no mind!
Everything was under his control now; he didn't need to bother.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to get into his car, a figure stepped out of a nearby vehicle.
It was Dongfang Mei.
“You should leave Wanhui Company immediately!”
Dongfang Mei said to Jiang Yi with a grave expression. “It’s very dangerous for you to stay at Wanhui Company now. I don’t want to see anything happen to you!”
Jiang Yi’s brows furrowed slightly.
“Qiu Fang’s secretary just found me and advised me to leave Wanhui Company. Was the secretary bribed by you?” Jiang Yi’s gaze fell on Dongfang Mei.
“That’s right!” Dongfang Mei confirmed.
Jiang Yi felt a bit helpless!
He had been trying to guess who had bribed the secretary but had never figured it out.
He hadn’t expected it to be Dongfang Mei.
She had even managed to bribe someone close to Qiu Fang.
“I’m talking to you, why are you spacing out? Leave Wanhui Company quickly!” Dongfang Mei said with a frown.
Dongfang Mei was very worried about Jiang Yi and feared something might happen to him.
“It’s fine, no need to worry!” Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Hearing this, Dongfang Mei’s delicate brows knitted together.
