Zhou Bingbing saw that Zhou Wentian did not stop her, knowing that Zhou Wentian had implicitly agreed. She hurried towards the room.
The guards stationed at the door dared not stop Zhou Bingbing when they saw her.
Zhou Mao was pacing anxiously in the room. Seeing Zhou Bingbing arrive, he immediately asked, "How is Jiang Yi?"
"Jiang Yi is dead!"
Zhou Bingbing took a deep breath, then recounted the events to Zhou Mao.
Zhou Mao was stunned after hearing the news!
Zhou Mao could not accept this reality.
He and Jiang Yi were the best of friends. The last time he saw Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi was perfectly fine.
Now, to suddenly hear Zhou Bingbing say that Jiang Yi was dead.
This news struck Zhou Mao a heavy blow.
"You must be lying to me!"
Zhou Mao said to Zhou Bingbing, "That brat Jiang Yi is more capable than me. How could he possibly die? With Judge Hao's abilities, Jiang Yi could easily handle him."
"This is true! I was eavesdropping outside the hall just now, and I heard Judge Hao say it with my own ears. I don't wish for anything to happen to Jiang Yi either, but this is the fact!" Zhou Bingbing replied.
Zhou Mao sank onto the bed.
At this moment, Zhou Mao looked like a stone sculpture, dazed and utterly dejected.
"Brother, Father has already ordered the execution of Judge Hao and Young Master Hao, as well as all the Hao family members. Father didn't spare a single one. This is considered revenge for Jiang Yi!" Zhou Bingbing said to comfort Zhou Mao.
Zhou Mao remained silent.
"Second Sister's condition has worsened again. Hurry and think of a way to save her!" Zhou Bingbing said with great concern.
"I have no solution either!" Zhou Mao sighed deeply.
Hearing this, Zhou Bingbing became even more worried.
Meanwhile.
Jiang Yi was sitting in the villa's hall, contemplating his next plan.
"By the way, I heard from Yingzi that the Yuwen family head has confessed. Are there any clues about my sister?" Jiang Yi asked.
"There is one clue!"
Dongfang Mei smiled charmingly and said, "I'm hungry now. Go and cook me a meal. After I've eaten my fill, I'll tell you slowly!"
Jiang Yi was speechless!
To get information about his sister, Jiang Yi had no choice but to compromise.
Jiang Yi put down his teacup and walked out of the hall.
"Where are you going?" Dongfang Mei asked.
"To buy groceries. Without ingredients, how can I cook?" Jiang Yi replied.
"Alright, hurry up! I'll be waiting for you at home," Dongfang Mei said with a charming smile.
Jiang Yi left the villa directly to buy ingredients.
Just as he reached the entrance of the villa complex, he encountered Ye Yanran.
Ye Yanran looked very haggard, with red-rimmed eyes.
When Ye Yanran saw Jiang Yi, she froze for a long time, unable to recover.
"You... you're not dead?"
Ye Yanran asked.
"Of course, I'm not dead. I'm alive and well," Jiang Yi said with a smile.
Ye Yanran had seen the news about Jiang Yi's death.
Zhou Wentian wanted to kill Judge Hao and his son to vent his anger, and he needed a reason.
So, Zhou Wentian spread the news that Jiang Yi had been killed by Judge Hao and his son!
Suddenly, Ye Yanran rushed towards Jiang Yi and hugged him tightly.
Jiang Yi was taken aback!
This was the first time Ye Yanran had been so proactive.
But now, Jiang Yi felt a bit awkward.
After all, he was already divorced from Ye Yanran!
Ye Yanran's sudden forwardness left Jiang Yi flustered and unsure of what to do.
Ye Yanran also felt that she had been too impulsive. She quickly let go of Jiang Yi and said to him awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I was just so happy to see that you were alright, so..."
Now, Ye Yanran was even more embarrassed than Jiang Yi.
"It's nothing!" Jiang Yi quickly said.
"I have something to do, I'm going back now!"
After speaking, Ye Yanran quickly turned and returned to the villa.
Jiang Yi smiled faintly. He never expected Ye Yanran to have such moments of awkwardness. Having known her for so many years, this was the first time he had seen her like this.
However, he had to admit, Ye Yanran looked quite cute this way.
Although Ye Yanran appeared cold and aloof on the surface, she was no different from ordinary women deep down.
Remembering that he had important matters to attend to, Jiang Yi turned and left the villa complex.
After buying the groceries, Jiang Yi returned to the villa and began to cook.
An hour later, Jiang Yi had prepared a table full of dishes, and the entire villa was filled with a mouth-watering aroma.
Dongfang Mei did not stand on ceremony. She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.
Seeing Dongfang Mei's eating style, Jiang Yi couldn't help but say, "You want to marry me, but it's not just because my cooking is good, is it?"
"This is just one of the reasons!"
Dongfang Mei said, then ignored Jiang Yi and continued to enjoy the delicious food.
Just after they finished eating, Ye's father arrived.
As soon as Jiang Yi saw Ye's father, he knew that Ye's father must be here regarding Ye Yanran.
"Jiang Yi, I want to talk to you!"
Ye's father said to Jiang Yi.
"Mm!" Jiang Yi nodded.
Just as Ye's father was about to speak, he saw Dongfang Mei sitting nearby. The words on his lips retreated, and he said to Jiang Yi, "Let's talk outside!"
Ye's father wanted to avoid Dongfang Mei.
Jiang Yi had no choice but to leave the villa with Ye's father and go to the front gate.
"What exactly do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Yi asked.
"People from the Xiao family have come to Jiang Province!"
Ye's father glanced around, saw no one paying attention, and then continued, "I'm worried that the Xiao family members are here for Yanran. I'm really worried, so I've come to tell you, so you can be prepared."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi was a little stunned!
"How do you know that people from the Xiao family have come to Jiang Province?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.
Even he hadn't received any news yet, yet Ye's father knew about the Xiao family's arrival in Jiang Province in advance.
"I have a friend who works in the Xiao family. I just received news from him. I spent so many years in the Xiao family; I still have trustworthy friends!"
Ye's father showed a hint of pride on his face.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi finally understood what was going on.
"Who is the Xiao family sending to Jiang Province?" Jiang Yi asked.
"It's a big boss named Sun Shicai. This guy is a subordinate of Xiao Wenbin. His methods are ruthless, and he's only motivated by money, making him very difficult to deal with!" Ye's father said.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but smile when he heard this!
Sun Shicai was not here for Ye Yanran.
The Xiao family had no idea that the Xiao family's eldest daughter was Ye Yanran.
If they knew about this, the Xiao family would not have sent a big boss to Jiang Province; they would have directly sent assassins to kill Ye Yanran.
Ye's father was too anxious, which led to his misunderstanding.
"You don't need to worry about him. They are not here for Ye Yanran!"
Jiang Yi stated his guess!
Ye's father nodded after hearing this, "That's right! The Xiao family has no idea that Yanran is the Xiao family's eldest daughter. I was too foolish!"
