"You helped me a lot when I first arrived in Eagle Country!" Jiang Yi said with a smile. "If you hadn't helped me back then, it would have been difficult for me to establish myself in Simon!"
Stephen had indeed helped Jiang Yi a great deal. When Jiang Yi first came to Eagle Country, he had no power and encountered many troubles, all of which Stephen helped resolve. Although Stephen never mentioned it, Jiang Yi was well aware of it.
Jiang Yi changed the subject and said to Stephen, "You don't need to worry about me. I've been in Eagle Country for so long, I know how to deal with those people!"
"Mhm!" Stephen nodded. Stephen believed Jiang Yi had the capability.
"It's getting late, I have to go. Call me if anything comes up!" Stephen stood up from the sofa. Afterwards, Stephen left Jiang Yi's castle.
After Stephen left, Dongfang Mei frowned. "If you're going to the capital, I'll go with you. It's good to have someone around for support. If you go alone, you won't be able to handle things if something happens!"
"You can't go with me to the capital! Tianding Group needs someone to manage it, and I'm counting on you to lead Shen Lu and the others in dismantling Jiang Wanli's influence in various sectors of Eagle Country's business world. If you go with me to the capital, Shen Lu and the others will have no leader!"
"Don't worry about me. Prince Matthew and the Eagle Country royal family trust me greatly now. With them around, no one will dare to do anything to me, even in the capital!"
"Especially Prince Matthew. He will definitely find ways to protect me. Only I can cure his illness. If anything happens to me, Prince Matthew will also be finished!" Jiang Yi explained.
Dongfang Mei was still somewhat uneasy, but there was nothing she could do. She really couldn't leave Simon. The overall situation of Tiansheng Group still needed her to preside over it. She had to stay at the headquarters of Tiansheng Group to direct everyone in eliminating Jiang Wanli's influence in Eagle Country's business world, while Jiang Yi had to go to the capital to deal with Jiang Wanli. In short, Dongfang Mei could not go to the capital with Jiang Yi at this time.
"Then let Chen Kun go with you! If Chen Kun is with you, I can be a little more at ease," Dongfang Mei said. To reassure Dongfang Mei, Jiang Yi had to agree to bring Chen Kun to the capital.
Dongfang Mei was so worried about Jiang Yi because she knew what he would face in the capital. The Mei Country royal family had already set their sights on Jiang Yi. When the time came, the Mei Country royal family would definitely find ways to deal with Jiang Yi in the capital. Jiang Yi's influence was growing too rapidly, posing a significant threat to the Mei Country royal family! Furthermore, the Eagle Country royal family trusted Jiang Yi because he was useful. Once Jiang Yi lost his value, the Eagle Country royal family would certainly find ways to eliminate him. Moreover, the Eagle Country royal family was despicable, saying one thing and doing another, and was not to be trusted at all.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei returned to their rooms to rest.
The night passed without incident. The next morning, Jiang Yi went to Tiansheng Group with Dongfang Mei. Jiang Yi called Shen Lu and the others to his office, briefly explained the company's matters to them, and informed them that he would be leaving Simon for the capital. In fact, even if Jiang Yi hadn't said anything, they had all guessed it! They were all smart people and could easily guess that Jiang Yi was going to the capital.
"All of you will remain in Simon and use the influence of Tiansheng Group to eliminate Jiang Wanli's forces in the business world!"
"In addition, Chen Kun will go to the capital with us. The bodyguard company will be handed over to Li Tao!" Jiang Yi announced.
Everyone nodded.
"You are currently managing the Dark Night intelligence network and the bodyguard company. If you get too busy, I will arrange for someone else to manage the bodyguard company!" Jiang Yi looked at Li Tao.
"Young master, don't worry! I can handle it," Li Tao quickly replied. Although Li Tao managed the Dark Night intelligence network, the workload wasn't heavy, and he was often idle. He couldn't get involved in company affairs, so he had plenty of time to manage the bodyguard company!
"In that case, the bodyguard company is yours!"
"Your task is quite important. Both Dark Night and the bodyguard company need to cooperate with the group to eliminate Jiang Wanli's forces, playing a crucial role. Especially Dark Night, which needs to collect intelligence on Jiang Wanli's forces, and that's not a simple task!" Jiang Yi said to Li Tao.
"That's nothing. Collecting intelligence is the task of the hackers and intelligence members in Dark Night. My job is only to issue orders. After they collect the intelligence, they just need to compile it and hand it over to Shen Lu and the others," Li Tao replied.
Jiang Yi nodded.
"Do any of you have anything else to say?" Jiang Yi scanned everyone.
"Boss, you must be careful!" Shen Lu said to Jiang Yi. The others also looked at Jiang Yi, all worried about him. Jiang Yi was a little touched. Although they were all working for him, their relationship was more than just boss and subordinate; they were friends.
"Everyone, don't worry, I will be careful!" Jiang Yi nodded.
Seeing that there was nothing else, Jiang Yi dismissed them to attend to their own matters. Only Dongfang Mei remained.
Just as Dongfang Mei was about to speak, the office door was pushed open, and Ning Yan walked in from outside.
"You can't go to the capital!" Ning Yan stated directly. "The capital is too dangerous. The Eagle Country royal family has always been dogs for the Mei Country royal family. The Mei Country royal family has already targeted you and will definitely pressure the Eagle Country royal family to deal with you. Going to the capital is like walking into a trap!"
"Senior sister, I know you're afraid I'll get into trouble, but I have no other choice. I must go to the capital now to deal with Jiang Wanli. Jiang Wanli is a lackey of the Mei Country royal family and the Eagle Country royal family. Only by eliminating him can my power further strengthen and be able to resist the Eagle Country royal family and the Mei Country royal family!"
"Besides, if I didn't have full confidence, I wouldn't risk going to the capital!" Jiang Yi said. Ning Yan's brow furrowed upon hearing this.
"Don't worry! Chen Kun will go with me. Chen Kun is not only very clever but also very skilled!" Jiang Yi looked at Ning Yan.
"Sister Ning Yan, both Mr. Stephen and I have tried to persuade Jiang Yi, but it was no use. He is determined to go to the capital, and we can't stop him. Your persuasion will likely be futile as well," Dongfang Mei said. Hearing this, Ning Yan's gaze fell upon Jiang Yi.
"You are my only family. I cannot let you take risks again. If something happens to you, what is the meaning of my life?"
