“Fine!”
Shadow responded, trotting quickly towards the villa.
Jiang Yi returned to the villa and drove directly to the warlord’s mansion.
It was four in the morning!
He wasn’t sure if he could meet Zhou Wentian by looking for him at this hour.
An hour later, Jiang Yi arrived at the main gate of the warlord’s mansion and called Zhou Mao.
Zhou Mao sounded groggy, yawning incessantly.
“Jiang Yi, why are you looking for me so late?” Zhou Mao asked.
“Dongfang Mei has been kidnapped! Take me to see your father!”
Jiang Yi told Zhou Mao, “All the assassins from that killer organization in Jiang Province have been eliminated. The people who took Dongfang Mei must be new arrivals in Jiang Province. I’m not entirely sure if they are from that organization.”
Zhou Wentian was the warlord of Jiang Province, and only he could quickly find Dongfang Mei in the vast city of Li Du.
Upon hearing that Dongfang Mei was in trouble, Zhou Mao’s brows furrowed.
Seeing Jiang Yi’s solemn expression, Zhou Mao knew he wasn’t joking and that Dongfang Mei was indeed in trouble.
“My father is sleeping now, he might not see you, but don’t worry, I’ll figure something out!”
Zhou Mao said.
Then, Zhou Mao led Jiang Yi to the hall and went upstairs to call Zhou Wentian. Su Dan Novel Network
About ten minutes later, Zhou Wentian came downstairs with an impatient look on his face.
“Dongfang Mei is missing, what does that have to do with me? Why should I help you?”
Zhou Wentian asked Jiang Yi calmly, “I am the warlord of Jiang Province, I don’t handle every little matter.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yi was not surprised at all!
Jiang Yi had expected Zhou Wentian to have this attitude.
“Dongfang Mei is no ordinary person!”
Jiang Yi looked at Zhou Wentian and said, “If you save Dongfang Mei this time, you will surely gain many benefits. It will be more useful than trying to please the Xiao family.”
At the mention of pleasing, a hint of anger flashed across Zhou Wentian’s face.
“I can’t help you with this. Figure it out yourself. I am a dignified warlord, not someone who finds people for you.” Zhou Wentian finished speaking and turned to go upstairs.
“Dongfang Mei is the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family in the capital!” Jiang Yi stated.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wentian immediately stopped and looked back at Jiang Yi.
“Is that true?” Zhou Wentian asked urgently.
“I have no reason to lie to you!”
Jiang Yi replied, “Dongfang Mei’s mother is named Liu Hong, and Liu Hong is a superstar. You must have heard of her.”
Zhou Wentian sat back on the sofa. After a moment of hesitation, he turned to Jiang Yi and said, “Li Du City is vast. Although I am the warlord of Jiang Province, finding someone in Li Du City is not an easy task. I just want to know what benefits I will receive after Dongfang Mei is found.”
Zhou Wentian was a person who prioritized interests. Before helping to find Dongfang Mei, he wanted to know what advantages he would gain once she was found.
He would certainly not do anything that didn’t benefit him.
“Warlord, you are a smart man. Do I need to spell out the benefits?”
Jiang Yi smiled faintly. “Dongfang Mei is the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family. If you find her, you will be saving her life. Then you will be her savior, and the Dongfang family will surely grant you whatever benefits you desire.”
Zhou Wentian remained silent.
He was a smart man and knew that Jiang Yi was speaking the truth.
“But how can we confirm that Dongfang Mei is indeed the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family? If she isn’t, wouldn’t I have gone through all this for nothing?”
Zhou Wentian sneered, “I’ll help if you can provide proof. Otherwise, I won’t lift a finger.”
Zhou Wentian was very cautious!
He was afraid of being tricked by Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi’s brows furrowed slightly. He had no evidence to prove that Dongfang Mei was the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family.
Dongfang Mei had already disappeared, so how could he prove it?
Suddenly, Jiang Yi remembered something.
When Liu Hong visited Jiang Province last time, she had called him.
He could find Liu Hong’s number on his phone and call her to confirm Dongfang Mei’s identity.
Jiang Yi took out his phone and began searching through his call records.
After a few minutes, Jiang Yi found a number from the capital.
He wasn’t sure if this number belonged to Liu Hong, so he planned to call and confirm it first.
The call was quickly connected.
“Hello, may I speak with Aunt Liu Hong?” Jiang Yi asked.
“I am your Aunt Liu Hong!”
Liu Hong’s anxious voice responded from the other end of the phone, “Jiang Yi, how is my daughter? Have you found her? I’m very worried about her safety. I’m already on my way, and I’ll be in Li Du City in a few hours…”
Jiang Yi explained the situation to Liu Hong.
Then, he handed the phone to Zhou Wentian.
Zhou Wentian took the phone and went directly to the study.
Zhou Wentian wanted to speak with Liu Hong privately.
A few minutes later, Zhou Wentian emerged from the study, returned the phone to Jiang Yi, and then summoned Deputy Liang. He instructed Liang to mobilize all the guards and relevant departments in Jiang Province to search for Dongfang Mei.
“Also, Dongfang Mei’s identity must not be revealed!”
Zhou Wentian said to Liang, “Announce to the public that Dongfang Mei is a key figure in a major case and is very important to our warlord’s mansion. Anyone who finds Dongfang Mei will receive a generous reward.”
“Yes!”
Liang acknowledged and walked out of the hall.
Zhou Wentian picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then looked at Jiang Yi, saying, “No wonder you can boss around my superiors. Now I understand. The Dongfang family wants you as their son-in-law, and you rely on the Dongfang family’s influence to have such great abilities.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yi felt a bit speechless.
“You were just a useless son-in-law of the Ye family back then, but in less than a year, you founded Tiansheng Group and became a top-tier company. Without the Dongfang family’s help, you would probably still be that useless fellow!” Zhou Wentian spoke without mincing words, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
Jiang Yi was speechless!
The founding of Tiansheng Group and its current achievements had nothing to do with the Dongfang family.
Zhou Wentian had completely dismissed all his accomplishments.
“I founded Tiansheng Group with my own abilities!” Jiang Yi said speechlessly.
Hearing this, Zhou Wentian burst into laughter.
“I’ve heard from Madam Liu about your affairs!”
Zhou Wentian said to Jiang Yi, “At this point, don’t pretend anymore. There’s nothing wrong with relying on a woman for sustenance. The Dongfang family is one of the top families in China. Once you marry into the Dongfang family and become their son-in-law, you will soar to success. Don’t forget me then.”
