"You can't kill me!"
Dongfang Mei's face showed no trace of panic.
The taxi driver was stunned for a moment.
He hadn't expected Dongfang Mei to be so calm in this situation.
"Someone paid for your life. Once we make a move, no one survives."
The taxi driver's face turned cold, radiating murderous intent.
"Is that so?"
Dongfang Mei remained very calm.
In fact, Dongfang Mei was just pretending.
She wanted to stall for time.
The taxi driver sneered, and the dagger in his hand lunged directly for Dongfang Mei's throat.
This time, the taxi driver didn't hesitate at all.
"Swish!"
A silver needle broke through the air.
It directly struck an acupuncture point behind the taxi driver.
Then, Jiang Yi quickly walked over and pried the poison out of the taxi driver's mouth.
Jiang Yi needed a live captive.
Suddenly, a cold glint flew towards them.
The target was Dongfang Mei.
Besides the taxi driver, there were four or five other assassins hiding nearby.
Jiang Yi embraced Dongfang Mei's waist and dodged the attack.
The other four assassins gave Jiang Yi no chance to breathe and lunged forward.
Jiang Yi fought five opponents at once, showing no signs of being at a disadvantage.
These assassins were no match for Jiang Yi in his eyes.
In less than ten seconds, all five assassins lay on the ground, their faces filled with shock. They never expected Jiang Yi to be so strong.
They had undertaken many assassination missions but had never encountered an opponent as difficult to deal with.
The five assassins' mouths dripped with blood as they lay motionless on the ground.
All five assassins were dead!
Before they made their move, they had already taken poison, intending to prevent Jiang Yi from capturing them alive.
Unfortunately, their calculations were wrong!
The taxi driver was still in Jiang Yi's grasp.
Jiang Yi didn't rush to interrogate the taxi driver. He used a silver needle to knock him unconscious and then stuffed him into the trunk.
Dongfang Mei stood in place, looking at Jiang Yi with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
"Why did you leave the villa without permission?" Jiang Yi stared at Dongfang Mei.
Jiang Yi was very angry.
"I'm not your prisoner. You have no right to know where I go."
Dongfang Mei snorted and got into the taxi, her high heels clicking.
Jiang Yi was speechless.
After getting in, he drove away from the parking lot.
As soon as Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei left, an old man and a group of bodyguards emerged from the corridor.
This old man was none other than the Dongfang family's butler.
The old man glanced at the corpses on the ground, a hint of surprise on his face.
"These assassins were all top experts. That young man dealt with them effortlessly; his skills are truly astonishing."
The bodyguards also looked surprised.
"He is definitely not an ordinary person!"
The old man stated with certainty, "Call and have someone investigate this young man's background. For the young lady's safety, everyone who has come into contact with her must be thoroughly investigated without any oversight."
"Yes!"
One of the bodyguards responded and immediately took out his phone to make a call.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yi drove onto the street and stopped by the roadside.
"Get out!"
Jiang Yi turned to look at Dongfang Mei.
"Why should I get out?" Dongfang Mei frowned.
"Of course, there's a reason!"
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
Hearing this, Dongfang Mei hesitated for a moment before opening the car door and getting out.
Soon, Dongfang Mei sensed something was wrong and quickly reached out to open the car door again.
However, the car door was locked by Jiang Yi.
"Our transaction ends here,"
Jiang Yi said to Dongfang Mei. "I've gotten what I wanted. From now on, we have no relationship."
After speaking, Jiang Yi drove away.
The old man and bodyguards in the parking lot were well-hidden, but they couldn't escape Jiang Yi's notice.
Jiang Yi had discovered them long ago.
With so many people protecting Dongfang Mei, she was safe, which was why Jiang Yi had abandoned her halfway.
Jiang Yi didn't want to deal with Dongfang Mei anymore.
On the way back to the villa, they encountered a traffic jam.
It was already evening when they returned to the villa.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Chen Kun guarding the entrance, along with a large group of bodyguards.
The weather was hot, and Chen Kun's face was full of fatigue, his clothes soaked with sweat.
To invite Jiang Yi, Chen Kun had to persevere.
Seeing Jiang Yi return, Chen Kun rushed over with a fawning smile, "Master Jiang..."
Jiang Yi ignored Chen Kun, opened the trunk, dragged the taxi driver out, and dumped him in the villa's courtyard.
Chen Kun tried to follow, but Jiang Yi immediately closed the villa's main gate.
Chen Kun looked helpless.
He could only continue to guard the entrance.
Jiang Yi woke up the taxi driver and stared at him with a fierce gaze.
"Tell me, where is your base of operations? I'll spare your life."
"Kill me if you want!" the taxi driver said coldly.
Jiang Yi frowned.
This guy was stubborn. It wouldn't be easy to extract information about the assassin organization from him.
However, Jiang Yi had plenty of patience.
"Do you need my help?"
A familiar voice sounded from behind him.
Jiang Yi looked back and felt a sense of exasperation.
The person speaking was none other than Dongfang Mei.
Dongfang Mei was wearing a sexy long dress, holding a glass of red wine and gently swirling it, watching Jiang Yi with great interest.
"You think you can get rid of me that easily?"
"You don't need my protection at all, why are you still following me?" Jiang Yi stared at Dongfang Mei.
"I have nowhere else to stay, so I have to stay with you!"
Dongfang Mei flashed a charming smile that could melt bones.
"Who told you you're so charming, making it so I can't leave you!"
If it were anyone else, they would have lost control long ago.
Unfortunately, Dongfang Mei had encountered Jiang Yi.
"How about we make another deal? I'll help you find that assassin organization, and you agree to let me stay. What do you say?" Dongfang Mei looked at Jiang Yi.
"Deal!"
Jiang Yi agreed.
As long as he found the assassin organization, he would leave Jiang City.
He didn't want the villa.
If Dongfang Mei wanted to stay, she could.
He didn't mind giving it to Dongfang Mei; these were external possessions, and Jiang Yi didn't care.
For Jiang Yi, the most important thing was to find the assassin organization's base, destroy it, and then find the mastermind.
"It's a deal!"
Dongfang Mei said, then walked over, her beautiful eyes falling on the taxi driver.
"Tell me where your base is, and I'll guarantee the safety of your family."
Hearing this, the taxi driver showed a hesitant expression.
"You know very well that I am the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family. This is a simple matter for me."
Dongfang Mei added, threateningly, "If you don't cooperate, not only will you lose your life, but your family will also not escape death."
The taxi driver's brows furrowed even more tightly.
"I have conditions. If you agree, I can cooperate!" the taxi driver said.
"What conditions?" Dongfang Mei asked.
