Tracy was trying her best to hide her dissatisfaction with Charles, but Jiang Yi still noticed it.
However, Jiang Yi didn't say anything, pretending not to know.
Tracy was also very vigilant. Seeing that she had said too much, she changed the subject.
By the time they reached Simon State, it was already early morning. Jiang Yi did not return to the villa but went directly to see Prince Matthew.
On the way to the Simon State Governor's Mansion, they had to pass through a park.
This park was full of towering trees. It was early morning, and there wasn't a soul in the woods.
As the car was about to leave the woods, the driver braked sharply and stopped the car.
Jiang Yi looked at the road ahead and saw a birch tree lying in the middle of the road, making it impossible for the car to pass.
Everyone got out of the car.
The birch tree lying in the middle of the road was very large and could not be moved.
"It looks like someone deliberately caused trouble!"
"The roots of the birch tree have very neat cuts. This was clearly cut by someone with a chainsaw to block passing vehicles. It's possible they were targeting us, so everyone be careful!" Tracy frowned and said.
Jiang Yi and Ning Yan appeared very calm and did not speak.
Just as Jiang Yi and the others were preparing to walk to the Simon State Governor's Mansion, a group of people suddenly emerged from the nearby woods.
These people were all wearing black cloaks and carrying crossbows, aiming at Jiang Yi and the others.
The leader was a man in a mask, whose sharp gaze was fixed on Jiang Yi.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yi sneered.
There was indeed a trap here, and it seemed to be aimed at him.
"Who are you people, and how dare you attack us!"
"Do you know who we are? I am Prince Matthew's adopted daughter, and next to me is Prince Matthew's chief physician, Jiang Yi. If you cause trouble for us, you are courting death!" Tracy said in a deep voice.
Tracy had initially thought that simply revealing their identities would scare the attackers away.
However, to her surprise, the masked man not only wasn't scared but also let out a cold laugh.
"Scaring me is useless. I'm here for you!" the masked man said coldly.
Hearing this, Tracy's brows furrowed.
In the entire Eagle Kingdom, only the royal family would dare to attack Prince Matthew!
"The Eagle Kingdom's royal family is truly despicable, using such despicable means!" Tracy said angrily.
The masked man ignored Tracy and focused his gaze on Jiang Yi, speaking in a deep voice, "You are the divine physician Jiang Yi from the Hua Xia Kingdom. I have heard of your great name. I am here for you today. Shall we find a place to talk privately!"
"Alright!" Jiang Yi agreed.
Jiang Yi wanted to see what this masked man wanted.
Seeing Jiang Yi agree, the masked man walked directly into the woods not far away.
As Jiang Yi was about to follow, Tracy stopped him.
"You can't go. You are the only one who can cure my adopted father. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain to my adopted father!" Tracy began to panic.
Ning Yan also frowned, wanting to stop Jiang Yi.
"Shut up!" The masked man's gaze fell on Tracy, and he said in a deep voice, "You have no right to speak here. If you say one more word, I will kill you right now!"
"I know you are all skilled, and ordinary people can't deal with you. But don't forget, the people I brought all have crossbows. No matter how skilled you are, it's useless. These crossbows can take your lives in an instant! You had better cooperate obediently!"
Tracy heard this and her willow-like brows furrowed.
The cloaked men's crossbows were aimed at them, and if the masked man gave the order, they would all die.
"Don't be rash!" Jiang Yi said to Ning Yan and Tracy.
Ning Yan had intended to attack directly, but upon hearing Jiang Yi's words, she remained where she was.
Jiang Yi was not afraid of these crossbows. The reason he didn't choose to attack directly was that he wanted to see what this masked man was up to.
Jiang Yi had felt from the beginning that these people were suspicious. They might not have been sent by the Eagle Kingdom's royal family.
Soon, Jiang Yi followed the masked man into the nearby woods.
Seeing that no one was around, the masked man stopped and turned to look at Jiang Yi.
"Mr. Jiang, I hope you can forgive me for any offense just now." The masked man's attitude suddenly becoming so good made Jiang Yi even more suspicious.
"Princess Tracy, Prince Matthew's adopted daughter, was not wrong earlier. I am indeed sent by the Eagle Kingdom's royal family. Prince Matthew harbors ill intentions, has been secretly opposing the Eagle Kingdom's royal family, and is ambitious. I hope Mr. Jiang can stand with the Eagle Kingdom's royal family!"
"As long as you kill Prince Matthew for the Eagle Kingdom's royal family, the King will definitely value you greatly and bestow upon you the title of Duke. You will then rise to prominence, with power and wealth at your fingertips!" the masked man said to Jiang Yi.
This temptation was too great; ordinary people couldn't resist it.
"Why should I kill Prince Matthew?" Jiang Yi asked.
"You are the only one who has the opportunity to kill Prince Matthew. Prince Matthew is surrounded by top bodyguards and protected by many armored soldiers. Ordinary people don't even have a chance to get close to Prince Matthew."
"But you are different. You have countless opportunities to approach Prince Matthew, and the success rate is one hundred percent!" the masked man stared at Jiang Yi. "After you kill Prince Matthew, we will also guarantee your safety."
"What if I refuse?" Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
"If you refuse, you will die. Not only you, but everyone around you will die miserably, and your Tiansheng Group will also be completely destroyed!" the masked man said, his tone filled with killing intent.
"It seems I have no other choice?" Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows.
"That's right, you only have one choice: kill Prince Matthew! You are a smart person, you should know what to do!" the masked man said. "You only have one minute to consider. After one minute, you must make a choice."
Jiang Yi inwardly sneered.
This guy was indeed problematic. He had already begun cooperating with Menasha. Menasha had personally said that the Eagle Kingdom's royal family would not directly kill Prince Matthew.
Because once Prince Matthew died, all of Prince Matthew's forces would immediately move against the Eagle Kingdom's royal family.
The Eagle Kingdom's royal family was not sufficiently prepared and could not handle it.
And this masked man claimed to be from the Eagle Kingdom's royal family and asked him to kill Prince Matthew!
Clearly, this masked man was not from the Eagle Kingdom's royal family. If he were, he would not ask Jiang Yi to kill Prince Matthew.
