Chapter 494 Chou Fang Poisoned

Jiang Yi’s gaze fell upon the little girl as he heard this.

Seeing her exhausted appearance, the servant must not have spoken.

It was truly astonishing that a girl of eleven or twelve possessed such remarkable perseverance.

Even an adult might not have been able to achieve it.

“Please, save my mother…”

The little girl suddenly grabbed Jiang Yi’s clothes, pleading with him, “Please, my mother is dying!”

Just as Jiang Yi was about to speak, the little girl fainted.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi instructed the servant to take her into the villa.

Jiang Yi examined the little girl and found that she was merely exhausted. Her knees had peeled and were swollen from kneeling for too long, but there were no other major issues with her body.

Jiang Yi asked the servant to place her on the sofa in the living room to rest.

Shen Lu happened to emerge from her room and looked puzzled upon seeing this scene.

“Who is she?” Shen Lu asked.

Jiang Yi recounted the entire event.

After listening, Shen Lu frowned slightly and said, “You usually keep a low profile, not many people know you. How did this little girl know about you? This is too strange, could this be a trap someone deliberately set for you?”

Shen Lu was highly vigilant.

As an accomplished assassin, this was her instinct.

“No matter what, I cannot stand by and do nothing!” Jiang Yi stated.

“How about this! I have nothing to do today, I’ll take care of her. When she wakes up, I’ll ask her and see if I can find anything out from her. If there’s something wrong with her, she’s bound to slip up!” Shen Lu suggested.

“What kind of conspiracy could an eleven or twelve-year-old girl have? There’s no need to be so tense!” Jiang Yi said.

“You need to listen to me on this. My intuition tells me this is not that simple. I don’t want anything to happen!” Shen Lu said with a solemn expression.

Jiang Yi had no choice but to agree.

“I have some other matters to attend to, I’ll leave her in your care!” Jiang Yi said.

“Alright!”

Shen Lu nodded.

Jiang Yi said nothing more, rose, and left the villa, driving towards Wan Hui Company.

An hour later, Jiang Yi arrived at Wan Hui Company.

As soon as Jiang Yi reached his office, Qiu Fang’s secretary walked in directly.

“The boss is in trouble!”

The secretary said to Jiang Yi with a grave expression, “The boss suddenly fainted a while ago. It’s been confirmed that someone poisoned his coffee. Fortunately, the boss didn’t drink much of it, and he has since woken up.”

Jiang Yi sneered.

Qiu Fang had countless enemies, so something like this happening was not surprising.

“Don’t tell me about such minor matters!” Jiang Yi said.

“This is not a minor matter!”

The secretary frowned and said, “Although the boss has woken up, the poison in his body has not been neutralized. His lower limbs are now completely paralyzed, and even walking is a problem. The company is currently inviting renowned physicians from the capital to detoxify the boss. This poison has never been seen before, and all the divine doctors are helpless!”

Hearing this, Jiang Yi’s brow furrowed slightly.

“I’m telling you this just to know if you did this!”

The secretary stared at Jiang Yi, “While I am willing to help you with small favors, I absolutely will not watch the boss be killed. If the boss dies, I will surely die, and everyone will suspect me!”

“It wasn’t me!”

Jiang Yi stated, “I have no reason to use such methods against Qiu Fang. Such methods are too foolish, only fools would act this way.”

Seeing Jiang Yi remain silent, the secretary took a deep breath.

“The boss wants to see you!” the secretary said.

Jiang Yi nodded and followed the secretary to Qiu Fang’s office.

As soon as he entered, Jiang Yi saw Qiu Fang lying on the sofa. Qiu Fang looked disheveled and his face was filled with anger.

“The secretary must have told you about my poisoning.”

Qiu Fang’s gaze fixed on Jiang Yi, and he said furiously, “The person who poisoned me must be someone from the company. Investigate everyone for me, and once you’ve identified them, kill them!”

Qiu Fang’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

“Yes!”

Jiang Yi nodded in agreement.

“Do you have any suspects?” Qiu Fang asked Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi shook his head.

“Hmph!”

Qiu Fang snorted coldly, “You don’t have any suspects, but I do. I suspect that Manager Yang likely sent someone to do this. He wants to poison me and then take my position, becoming the boss of Wan Hui Company.”

“That’s possible!” Jiang Yi said.

Jiang Yi felt that this matter was unlikely to be the work of Manager Yang. Manager Yang was an old fox and wouldn’t do something so foolish.

The person who poisoned Qiu Fang must be someone else.

“It’s not possible, it’s definite!”

Qiu Fang said angrily, “Investigate him to the death. Once you find evidence, hand it over to me immediately. This time, I will not be lenient. If Manager Yang wants me dead, I’ll kill him first!”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi replied.

Since Qiu Fang believed it was Manager Yang’s doing, Jiang Yi had nothing more to say.

After all, this matter had nothing to do with him. If Qiu Fang asked him to investigate Manager Yang, then he would do so.

“You can leave now!” Su Dan Novel Network

Qiu Fang said.

Jiang Yi nodded and left the office.

As soon as Jiang Yi left, Qiu Fang’s gaze fell upon the secretary, and he asked, “Do you think Jiang Yi has anything to do with this? Jiang Yi is cunning, and now I feel I can trust him less and less. I must remain wary of him!”

“This matter likely has nothing to do with Manager Jiang!”

The secretary said, “You are currently relying heavily on him. With your support behind him, he can have status and position in the company. If anything happens to you, he will only be a nominal manager. Doing so would bring him no benefit!”

Qiu Fang nodded and remained silent.

“Boss, I have invited more divine doctors just now. I’ll go find them to get your antidote!” the secretary said.

Qiu Fang lay on the sofa without speaking.

Meanwhile, after Jiang Yi returned to his office and was about to have some tea, Manager Yang and Young Master Qiu walked in from outside.

Both of them appeared very somber.

“My father was poisoned. How is he doing?” Young Master Qiu asked Jiang Yi.

“The boss is not in very serious condition. He is very energetic, only his legs are paralyzed!” Jiang Yi replied.

Upon hearing this, Young Master Qiu and Manager Yang displayed expressions of disappointment.

They had both thought Qiu Fang was dead, but unexpectedly, Qiu Fang was still alive, merely paralyzed in the legs.

“Although the boss is only paralyzed in the legs, the poison he has is very strange, and no one can detoxify it. For now, only his legs are paralyzed, but within a year, this poison will gradually enter his heart, leading to his death!” Jiang Yi said.
