Chapter 248 The Threat

Jiang Yi couldn't help but sneer upon hearing this.

Sun Shicai would certainly not act openly; he would only engage in clandestine activities, leaving Bai Zhen with no grounds to accuse him.

"Jiang Yi, shouldn't you also state your position?" Bai Zhen asked, looking at Jiang Yi.

"Don't worry, I won't escalate the matter!" Jiang Yi replied.

"Since that's the case, then you must look after yourselves!"

With that said, Bai Zhen stood up and walked directly out of the hall.

Jiang Yi watched Bai Zhen's retreating back, taking a deep breath. It seemed he had truly offended Bai Zhen this time.

That fellow was too petty!

"I never thought President Bai was so stingy!" Dongfang Mei said with a smile. "If you don't give him face now, he probably won't give you face in the future!"

Jiang Yi said nothing.

He had already offended Bai Zhen, so it didn't matter.

Jiang Yi got up and went to the backyard warehouse.

Sun Shicai was already preparing to make his move, so he couldn't stand idly by. He needed to develop some new medicines to deal with Shengda Group!

Sun Shicai was from the Xiao family, and the Xiao family would send people to Jiang Province.

Everything would proceed according to his plan.

As soon as he arrived in the backyard, he encountered Chen Kun and Shen Lu, who were discussing how to deal with the assassin organization.

The two were arguing incessantly.

Seeing Jiang Yi arrive, they finally stopped.

"Brother, Shen Lu is being stubborn. No matter how I advise her, she won't listen," Chen Kun said with annoyance.

"Listen to Shen Lu on this matter!" Jiang Yi stated. "From now on, Shen Lu will be in charge of this matter. Do as she says."

Chen Kun's face was filled with helplessness upon hearing this!

His heart felt even more unwilling.

In Chen Kun's opinion, his combat skills were better than Shen Lu's, so this matter should have been handled entirely by him. However, now, Jiang Yi had handed over all authority to Chen Kun.

"Brother, I'm not convinced!" Chen Kun said unhappily.

"Shen Lu knows more about that assassin organization than you do. Her plan is definitely better than yours!" Jiang Yi said.

These words left Chen Kun speechless!

Shen Lu, being a member of that assassin organization, was naturally familiar with it.

In fact, there was one thing Jiang Yi didn't say out loud, as it might hurt Chen Kun's pride.

That was, Shen Lu was smarter than Chen Kun!

Moreover, Shen Lu was very meticulous in her work, making her more suitable to handle this matter compared to Chen Kun.

"Don't worry, after this is over, I'll make sure Shen Lu listens to you!" Jiang Yi said.

Hearing this, Chen Kun's face finally lit up with a smile.

This was the very statement he had been waiting for from Jiang Yi!

Shen Lu chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Kun asked, annoyed.

"Nothing!" Shen Lu replied with a smile.

"I know what you're laughing at," Chen Kun said calmly. "I know you're smarter than me, but I'm not stupid either."

Shen Lu stopped smiling and said no more.

Jiang Yi went to the back warehouse and began researching new medicines.

Upon entering the warehouse, Jiang Yi was unsure what kind of new medicine to develop.

With the advancement of medical technology, various drugs were available. To defeat Dasheng Group and Ghost Doctor Cao Desheng with a new drug, he had to develop something that had never existed before.

Suddenly, Jiang Yi thought of the "Beauty Perfume" he had developed earlier. The Beauty Perfume could not only be used as a perfume but also as a medicinal product. Spraying this perfume could treat minor ailments such as insomnia, neurasthenia, and so on.

When he was in Jiangcheng, he had auctioned off dozens of bottles, and countless people vied to buy them, driving the price to astronomical figures.

The only drawback was that it couldn't be mass-produced.

Besides himself, no one else could manufacture this perfume.

The primary reason was that the production process for Beauty Perfume was extremely complicated, making factory production virtually impossible.

Jiang Yi decided to research it thoroughly, aiming to simplify the production process of Beauty Perfume to the point where factories could produce it.

Once this perfume was released, it would surely sell like hotcakes in China, and even worldwide.

Jiang Yi gathered various medicinal herbs and raw materials for making Beauty Perfume. He closed the warehouse door and began his work.

It was not until evening that Jiang Yi left the warehouse.

He planned to continue his research the next day.

Just as Jiang Yi was about to return to the main hall, he encountered Shen Lu, who had just returned from outside.

Shen Lu looked worried!

Upon seeing Jiang Yi, Shen Lu managed a faint smile, "Mr. Jiang..."

"Mhm!" Jiang Yi responded, glancing at Shen Lu, and asked, "What's wrong? Have you encountered any trouble?"

Shen Lu recounted the events to Jiang Yi.

It turned out that the assassins from the organization, seeing that many assassins had died or disappeared without reason recently, had begun to doubt Shen Lu's leadership abilities and were demanding a new leader.

This matter had already received the approval of the assassin hierarchy.

The election rules were simple: Shen Lu had to win. If anyone could defeat Shen Lu in a fight, they could replace her as the leader of all assassins in Jiang Province.

"The election might cause the plan to be delayed!" Shen Lu said with a grave expression. "Also, in recent years, many skilled fighters have emerged among the assassins in Jiangcheng, some of whom are even better than me. After this election, I might not be able to continue leading the assassins in Jiang Province, and the plan will also face problems."

Shen Lu was worried that she wouldn't be able to complete the task assigned by Jiang Yi.

"Will all the assassins in Jiang Province be present during the election?" Jiang Yi asked.

"Yes!" Shen Lu nodded.

"In that case, we'll take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out all the assassins in Jiang Province in one fell swoop!" Jiang Yi grinned.

This was a golden opportunity!

Shen Lu, however, furrowed her brow.

"Mr. Jiang, this idea is indeed good, but if we act now, it might cause huge casualties to the guards of the Governor's Mansion, and we might not even be able to eliminate all the assassins. There are several very powerful assassins among the Jiangcheng killers whom the Governor's Mansion guards simply cannot deal with." Shen Lu stated.

Jiang Yi smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"That's easy!" Jiang Yi replied. "I'll teach you some combat skills. During the election, you can use what I teach you to kill those highly skilled assassins!"

"Mr. Jiang, this method is indeed good, but there isn't enough time!" Shen Lu took a deep breath and said, "The election is the night after tomorrow, and there are only two days left. I can't improve my skills within these two days; this time is simply not enough."

"Two days is enough!" Jiang Yi grinned.

In two days, he could easily train Shen Lu into a master.

Shen Lu's face lit up with excitement upon hearing this. She had always wanted to learn skills from Jiang Yi, and this opportunity had finally arrived.
