"Foolish!"
The blond-haired man cursed. "Mr. Jiang's entourage are all experts. With your skills, you'd likely be reduced to corpses before you could even get close to him."
"Besides, Mr. Jiang is no ordinary person. Even if we managed to kidnap him, he might not agree to cooperate. Instead, we'd enrage him, and then there would be no more chances!"
Hearing this, the surrounding rich second-generation heirs frowned.
They wanted to cooperate with Jiang Yi to make a fortune, but Jiang Yi wasn't giving them any opportunity.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yi had already arrived at the villa entrance.
"Mr. Jiang, if you have no further instructions, I'll be going back now!" Shen Lu said to Jiang Yi.
"I have already pushed the Shen family to their absolute limit. How you choose to seek revenge against them is up to you!" Jiang Yi looked at Shen Lu.
"Mm."
Shen Lu nodded.
"Do you need me to intervene in the Shen family's affairs any further?" Jiang Yi asked.
"No need. I can handle the Shen family now!"
Shen Lu smiled. "Within three days, the Shen family will be declared bankrupt. By then, even Huichuntang won't be able to help them!"
Jiang Yi's lips curved upwards.
His mission was complete.
Now it was up to Huichuntang to decide. If they insisted on causing trouble and seeking death, he would oblige them.
"When will you tell me about that assassin organization?" Jiang Yi's gaze fell upon Shen Lu.
"I'll tell you after I've had my revenge!" Shen Lu replied.
Afterward, Shen Lu bid farewell to Jiang Yi and turned to leave.
Watching Shen Lu's retreating figure, Jiang Yi's brow furrowed slightly.
"Brother, Shen Lu is a woman of deep schemes. You mustn't believe her words! If you do, you'll surely be deceived by her," Chen Kun said earnestly.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but look at Chen Kun.
These words coming from Chen Kun's mouth surprised Jiang Yi.
"Brother, I don't mean to drive a wedge between you and Shen Lu!"
Seeing Jiang Yi's gaze on him, Chen Kun quickly added, "I just feel that Shen Lu is untrustworthy. Besides, beautiful women are the most deceitful!"
"Who told you that?" Jiang Yi chuckled.
He hadn't expected Chen Kun to utter such profound wisdom.
"I realized it myself!"
Chen Kun took a deep breath and said seriously, "Back in the day, I, Chen Kun, was a renowned figure in Jiang Province. Later, I fell for a woman, but unexpectedly..."
"That woman found three other men behind my back and even got me sent to prison! I swore that I would never trust any woman for the rest of my life!"
Chen Kun spoke with great pain, but Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother, what I'm saying is true! If you don't believe me, ask my father. My father almost beat me to death that time!" Chen Kun said helplessly.
He had been talking about Shen Lu's matters, and now it had turned to Chen Kun.
Jiang Yi glanced at Chen Kun, said nothing, and returned to the villa.
Upon entering the hall, Jiang Yi scanned the room and found that Dongfang Mei was not in the villa.
Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Dongfang Mei had been causing a lot of trouble lately, which left Jiang Yi feeling helpless.
Jiang Yi sat on the sofa, poured himself a cup of tea, and began to drink.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to return to his room to rest, Dongfang Mei came back!
Accompanying Dongfang Mei was a man in a suit.
The man appeared to be in his mid-twenties, with a handsome and dashing appearance.
And judging by his attire, he was also a wealthy second-generation heir.
When the man saw Jiang Yi, he was taken aback. He quickly recovered, and a hostile expression appeared on his face.
"Miss Dongfang, who is this kid? Why is he living in your villa?" the man asked Dongfang Mei with suspicion.
"His name is Jiang Yi, and he's a friend of mine!"
Dongfang Mei said with a smile. "Don't misunderstand, he and I are just friends, it's not what you think!"
Hearing this, the man didn't press further.
However, his gaze towards Jiang Yi carried a hint of displeasure.
Jiang Yi realized that this man was definitely one of Dongfang Mei's admirers.
"Who is he?" Jiang Yi asked Dongfang Mei.
"This is Yuwen Sheng, a classmate of mine from abroad!"
Dongfang Mei began to introduce him.
"Don't underestimate him; he's the future heir of the Yuwen family."
Jiang Yi let out an "Oh" and said nothing more.
Jiang Yi had no interest in their affairs.
"I'm home now. I'll see you tomorrow!" Dongfang Mei said to Yuwen Sheng with a smile.
"See you tomorrow!"
Yuwen Sheng greeted Dongfang Mei, cast a provocative glance at Jiang Yi, and then turned to leave.
It was clear that Yuwen Sheng regarded Jiang Yi as a romantic rival.
After Yuwen Sheng's figure disappeared through the main entrance, Dongfang Mei's gaze fell on Jiang Yi, and she said, "Yuwen Sheng is gentle and considerate. I feel myself starting to be moved by him!"
Jiang Yi remained silent.
Who she was moved by had nothing to do with him.
"I actually started to like you, but you showed no interest in me. I'm the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family, after all. I can't just keep trying to win someone over when they're not interested!"
"I've decided to get along well with Yuwen Sheng. If he's suitable, I'll marry him," Dongfang Mei said to Jiang Yi with a hint of pride.
"Then congratulations!"
Jiang Yi said, and then returned to his room.
If Dongfang Mei truly found someone she liked, he would definitely congratulate her.
This way, she wouldn't pester him constantly in the future.
Seeing Jiang Yi retreat to his room, Dongfang Mei's brows furrowed deeply.
She hadn't expected Jiang Yi to have absolutely no reaction.
Just then, Yingzi walked in from outside. Seeing Dongfang Mei's expression, she wanted to say something but swallowed her words.
"If you have something to say, just say it!"
Dongfang Mei looked at Yingzi.
"Actually, your ploy is completely useless!"
Yingzi said with a solemn expression. "By doing this, you're only making Mr. Jiang think you're a woman who falls for anyone she meets. Not only will Mr. Jiang not fall for you, but he'll also distance himself further from you!"
"I know, but I don't have any other options. This is the only way I can know if he has any feelings for me at all."
Dongfang Mei took a deep breath.
Dongfang Mei considered herself very intelligent, but when faced with such a situation, she felt helpless and could only come up with such an unreliable method.
"Will you be meeting Yuwen Sheng tomorrow?" Yingzi asked.
"Mm."
Dongfang Mei nodded.
"My interactions with Yuwen Sheng are not solely to test Jiang Yi. I have another purpose: to use Yuwen Sheng to investigate matters concerning Jiang Yi's sister."
Yingzi's brows knitted together slightly.
