“Why?” Young Master Qiu was anxious and said, “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. If we miss this chance, we might not get such a good opportunity again. If others get there first, all our previous efforts will be in vain!”
“This is a trap set by your dad!” Jiang Yi said.
Hearing this, Young Master Qiu froze on the spot.
“I saw your dad before. He wasn’t poisoned that badly. He could still live for a considerable time and couldn't possibly die so soon!” Jiang Yi continued, “Your dad must have deliberately spread the word that he was dying. Once those who want to betray him hear this, they will make a move against your dad, and then your dad can take the opportunity to eliminate them. If we make a move now, we’ll be falling right into your dad’s trap!”
Young Master Qiu became flustered!
“Fortunately, you reminded me in time. Otherwise, I would be in big trouble this time!” Young Master Qiu said.
“You don’t need to thank me. It’s my duty to serve you!” Jiang Yi said.
Just as Young Master Qiu was about to speak, Shi Jin suddenly walked towards them.
“There’s big trouble at the company!” Shi Jin said with a frown. “Just a moment ago, several senior executives from the company, along with a group of assassins, broke into the boss’s office. Within a few minutes, they all became corpses. Now, Black Sha and White Sha are dealing with the bodies.”
Hearing this, Young Master Qiu’s face turned pale with fear.
“Young Master Qiu, did you hear that? Those who couldn’t hold back have gone to see King Yama. If we had made a move, we would have met the same fate!” Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Young Master Qiu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
“Let’s go and see your dad!” Jiang Yi said.
“Now?” Fear flashed across Young Master Qiu’s face.
“Now is the best opportunity to show your loyalty. You need to let your dad see that you would never betray him. Only then can you avoid any repercussions. Your dad is a very suspicious person. If you don’t show up now, he will definitely be suspicious of you!” Jiang Yi said.
Hearing this, Young Master Qiu had no choice but to follow Jiang Yi upstairs.
Soon, Jiang Yi and Young Master Qiu arrived at the door of Qiu Fang’s office.
The corpses had already been cleaned up by Qiu Fang’s men, as if nothing had happened.
“Knock, knock…” Young Master Qiu raised his hand and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?” Qiu Fang’s secretary’s voice echoed from inside the office.
“It’s me!” Young Master Qiu said.
Afterward, the secretary from the office came out. The secretary scanned Jiang Yi and Young Master Qiu and then asked Young Master Qiu, “Young Master Qiu, do you need to see the boss about something?”
“I received news that someone was going to make a move against my dad, so I rushed over immediately!” Young Master Qiu said, then asked, “Is my dad alright?”
The secretary did not answer Young Master Qiu but said, “Come in with me!”
Hearing this, Young Master Qiu and Jiang Yi entered the office.
They saw Qiu Fang lying on the sofa with a pale face. Several renowned doctors stood nearby, treating Qiu Fang and detoxifying him. Additionally, in a hidden room at the back, over twenty assassins were secretly protecting Qiu Fang’s safety. These assassins were all from the Dark Shadow organization, each a top-tier assassin in the company. With them around, no one could harm Qiu Fang in the slightest.
“I’m dying. The doctors say I won’t live for more than three days!” Qiu Fang said weakly to Young Master Qiu, “I’ve decided that before I die, I will pass on the position of company boss to you, letting you manage Wan Hui Company. You have never disappointed me, and you are the only person I trust!”
Qiu Fang was testing Young Master Qiu. If Young Master Qiu agreed, the next person to die would be Young Master Qiu. Despite being Qiu Fang’s biological son, Qiu Fang would not hesitate. If Young Master Qiu dared to have any aspirations for the position of company boss, Qiu Fang would not let him off. Killing his own son was not something Qiu Fang had never done before. It was said that even a poisonous tiger wouldn’t eat its cubs, but Qiu Fang was more poisonous than a tiger. For the sake of power, he would stop at nothing.
“Dad, you’ll be alright!” Young Master Qiu cried loudly. “I have no ambitions for the boss’s position. I only hope you can survive. If possible, I am willing to trade my life for yours…”
Young Master Qiu cried tears of sorrow, moving everyone. Seeing this, Jiang Yi was stunned! He never expected Young Master Qiu to be such a good actor, performing so flawlessly that even Jiang Yi was almost fooled! It was truly a waste that this guy wasn’t an actor.
“Why are you crying? I’m not going to die!” Qiu Fang believed in Young Master Qiu’s filial piety and said, “I was just testing you. I’m not actually that serious, and my poison will be cured soon! I’m doing this not because I don’t trust you, but because I want to know what’s on your mind. We are father and son, and we should trust each other without any barriers!”
Young Master Qiu was taken aback for a moment. Then, he wept with joy. Young Master Qiu’s acting was flawless, and Qiu Fang now trusted him greatly.
“I have also seen your loyalty!” Qiu Fang’s gaze fell upon Jiang Yi. “However, Manager Yang makes me uneasy. He hasn’t made any moves yet. Logically, after learning that my time is short, he should have acted directly by now!”
“Manager Yang is an old fox. Perhaps he has sensed something!” Jiang Yi said.
“That makes sense!” Qiu Fang took a deep breath and said, “It’s just a pity. I wasted a lot of effort and set up such a big trap, yet I couldn’t find any evidence against Manager Yang!”
Just then, screams were heard from outside the office. Following that, Manager Yang, leading a group of assassins, kicked open the door and rushed in.
Jiang Yi sneered. He thought Manager Yang was a smart person, but he didn’t expect him to be so foolish as to make a move so quickly.
“What do you want?” Qiu Fang angrily questioned Manager Yang.
“You’re finished. I’ll be the boss of Wan Hui Company!” Manager Yang stared at Qiu Fang and said, “I have always been loyal to you, yet you suspect me of betrayal, secretly monitor me, and plan to kill me. I can only fight for my life!”
Hearing this, Qiu Fang’s face darkened.
“I didn’t expect you two to be here too!” Manager Yang’s gaze fell on Jiang Yi and Young Master Qiu, and he said, “Do you really think I would cooperate with you? I was merely using you. Now that you have no further use, you will all die today!”
With that, Manager Yang burst into laughter.
