Xiao Jianren took a deep breath.
For Xiao Jianren, making money was not very important; the most crucial thing was to become the head of the Xiao family.
What Xiao Jianren had now was money, but what he needed was influence.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yi, after leaving the bar, headed straight back to the hotel.
As he reached his room door, he encountered Shen Lu.
"Miss Dongfang might already know you're at the hotel!"
Shen Lu said to Jiang Yi, "When I returned earlier, I saw someone lurking around the hotel. That person could be an informant for the Dongfang family."
"It's fine!"
Jiang Yi replied, "If Dongfang Mei doesn't come to me, I will go to her."
He wondered if Dongfang Mei had found her sister.
If the assassin organization found her first, it would be troublesome.
"It's very late now, get some rest early!" Jiang Yi said to Shen Lu and returned to his room.
Upon entering the room, Jiang Yi prepared to open the door, but suddenly felt something was amiss.
This room had been locked before he left.
However, he had just pushed the door open without using his room card.
It was obvious someone was in the room.
Jiang Yi's brow furrowed slightly. He felt for the switch and turned on the light.
He discovered a person sitting on a chair in the room.
It was a woman!
Although her back was to him, Jiang Yi had already guessed who it was.
Besides Dongfang Mei, who else would barge into his room for no reason?
Jiang Yi walked over and indeed found it was Dongfang Mei.
Dongfang Mei was sitting with her legs crossed. Upon hearing footsteps, her beautiful eyes swept over and landed on Jiang Yi.
"You're back!"
Dongfang Mei said.
"Mm!"
Jiang Yi responded and sat down on the chair opposite her.
"Since you've come to the capital, why didn't you come to see me?"
Dongfang Mei asked Jiang Yi with a frown. Su Dan Novel Network
"I had matters to attend to, so I didn't have time to see you!" Jiang Yi shrugged.
"What matters?"
Dongfang Mei stared at Jiang Yi. "Is there anything more important than your sister's situation? I already have clues to your sister's whereabouts and will find her soon. Since you don't care about your sister's situation, then forget it."
After speaking, Dongfang Mei got up as if to leave.
"That's not what I meant!"
Jiang Yi quickly said.
His sister's situation was naturally the most important.
Dongfang Mei was an arrogant person, and at a time like this, he could only be a little more submissive in front of her.
"Then what do you mean?" Dongfang Mei sat back down and asked.
"With your capabilities, you can definitely help me find my sister. If I went to you, wouldn't that just be bothering you? I thought I would wait for some time before looking for you! I didn't expect you to find your way to the hotel, which surprised me," Jiang Yi said with a smile.
"Alright, I forgive you!"
Dongfang Mei looked at Jiang Yi and smiled faintly.
"Have you found any clues to my sister's whereabouts?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I've found quite a few clues."
Dongfang Mei nodded. "Within three days, I will be able to find your sister. I have a very important clue now, through which we can find your sister."
"What clue?" Jiang Yi eagerly asked.
Jiang Yi was now desperate to find his sister.
"Come with me to see my mother tomorrow. If your performance satisfies me, I'll naturally tell you!"
Dongfang Mei looked at Jiang Yi, a playful smile on her face. "If your performance doesn't satisfy me, you won't know anything."
Jiang Yi was somewhat speechless!
His sister was his weakness, and now he could only agree.
"Alright!" Jiang Yi nodded in agreement.
"It's a deal. Tomorrow morning, I'll have Shadow come to the hotel to pick you up."
Dongfang Mei finished speaking, smiled faintly at Jiang Yi, and then walked out of the room.
"Aren't you going to see me off?"
Dongfang Mei turned back and asked Jiang Yi.
Her words made Jiang Yi pause.
"You're about to become a son-in-law of our Dongfang family. You can't lack gentlemanly conduct," Dongfang Mei said to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi was speechless upon hearing this!
However, to please Dongfang Mei, Jiang Yi stood up from his chair and said to her, "Then I'll see you out!"
"That's more like it!"
Dongfang Mei smiled triumphantly and walked out of the room.
Jiang Yi followed her.
Outside the hotel entrance, Jiang Yi finally stopped.
At this moment, a stretched Lincoln limousine was waiting nearby.
Beside the limousine stood over twenty bodyguards, all wearing suits and sunglasses.
Jiang Yi was taken aback!
Dongfang Mei was just coming to see him, yet she brought so many bodyguards and such a grand display.
Dongfang Mei noticed Jiang Yi's confusion and said, "I have no choice. I don't know how many eyes are watching the Dongfang family. I am the future heir of the Dongfang family, and I don't even know how many people want me dead!"
Jiang Yi said nothing.
What Dongfang Mei said was indeed reasonable.
"After we get married, with you, a master, by my side, I won't have to go through so much trouble bringing so many bodyguards," Dongfang Mei said to Jiang Yi with a charming smile.
As Jiang Yi was about to speak, Dongfang Mei smiled faintly at him and got into the car.
"Come early tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you!"
Dongfang Mei said to Jiang Yi, then the car started and drove onto the street, quickly disappearing from sight.
Jiang Yi withdrew his gaze and returned to his room.
The night passed without incident!
The next morning, Jiang Yi was awakened by a knock on the door.
Opening the door, he found it was Shen Lu.
Jiang Yi glanced at his phone and saw it was only around seven o'clock.
"Is there something?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Shadow is here to pick you up!" Shen Lu said.
"Where is Shadow?" Jiang Yi asked.
"At the hotel entrance!" Shen Lu replied.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi walked to the window and looked towards the hotel entrance, where he was stunned.
He saw over twenty luxury cars parked neatly at the hotel entrance, led by a stretched Lincoln limousine. On both sides of the entrance stood more than forty bodyguards, including Shadow, who was looking inside the hotel.
The entrance was crowded with people.
Even more speechless for Jiang Yi, there were quite a few reporters.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath. What was Miss Dongfang trying to do?
Creating such a grand spectacle, as if she didn't want anyone to know, and even inviting so many reporters.
Jiang Yi was certain that these reporters were brought by Dongfang Mei, otherwise, they wouldn't have come to the hotel.
"Miss Dongfang must want everyone to know that you are her fiancé, which is why she brought these reporters," Shen Lu said.
Jiang Yi was very speechless.
Jiang Yi sat on the chair, not planning to go downstairs yet.
