Overlord Star

Chapter 481 A Futile Effort

"You don't need to know who I am!"

Jiang Yi stared at the man and said, "I'll ask you a few questions. Answer me honestly, otherwise, I'll have to take your life!"

Jiang Yi could tell that this man was an assassin.

He was definitely someone from Wan Hui Company.

Jiang Yi would not go easy on anyone from Wan Hui Company.

"I don't know you at all, and I don't want to answer your questions. Since you've come, don't even think about leaving alive!"

A hint of killing intent flashed in the man's eyes as he stared at Jiang Yi.

Then, the man walked towards Jiang Yi step by step.

Seeing this, the woman's expression remained calm, as if she wasn't afraid at all.

"Whoosh!"

The man waved his hand and threw a punch directly at Jiang Yi's throat.

If this punch landed, it would be certain death.

Jiang Yi easily dodged the man's attack, then kicked him to the ground, smiling slightly, "It seems I guessed correctly. You are indeed an assassin, and a killer from Wan Hui Company!"

The man was stunned when he heard this.

The woman also frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Yi.

"How did you know our identities!"

The man asked in a deep voice.

"Now is not the time for you to ask me questions, but for me to ask you questions!"

Jiang Yi looked at the man and asked, "Tell me, who is the big boss of Wan Hui Company?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

The man snorted, "You will die today!"

After saying that, the man lunged at Jiang Yi again.

This time, just like before, as soon as he got close to Jiang Yi, he was knocked to the ground by Jiang Yi.

The man had some skill, but compared to Jiang Yi, he was far too inferior. They were not on the same level at all.

Suddenly, the woman's gaze turned sharp. She grabbed a fruit knife from the table and lunged at Jiang Yi's back.

Jiang Yi reacted swiftly, dodged the woman's attack, and then punched her in the face. Sudan Novels Network

The woman, who had been radiant moments before, was now in a sorry state, her nose broken and blood streaming down her face.

"I didn't expect you to be an assassin too!"

Jiang Yi looked at the woman and smiled slightly, "Since that's the case, you should also know the identity of the big boss. Whoever tells me first, I'll spare their life, and the other must die. You don't have much time; I'll give you one minute to decide!"

"Even if we die, we won't say a word to you!"

The man stood up instantly.

The woman stood shoulder to shoulder with the man, ready to fight again.

"You two are no match for me. Even if you join forces, you'll still be vulnerable!" Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.

The two remained silent and charged at Jiang Yi again. Just as they were about to reach Jiang Yi, they suddenly showed expressions of pain, then fell to the ground one after another, blood flowing from their noses and mouths!

"Not good!"

Jiang Yi cried out and rushed over, but it was too late. Both of them had died.

Judging by their deaths, they had been poisoned.

Jiang Yi had only inflicted minor injuries on them, which were not fatal.

Jiang Yi examined the wine glasses they had drunk from and found that they indeed contained a potent poison. Once this poison entered the body, it would cause death within three minutes, with no initial signs of poisoning.

Jiang Yi was speechless; he was a step too late.

The big boss of Wan Hui Company must have known that the man's identity was exposed, so they silenced him.

And the woman was merely collateral.

Jiang Yi took a deep breath.

All his efforts had been in vain after all this trouble!

If he had known, he should have chased after the man on the road and captured him, instead of waiting until they reached the villa to make his move.

Jiang Yi searched the villa but found no clues.

He didn't even find any clues about the identities of the man and the woman.

The big boss of Wan Hui Company must have destroyed all the evidence before he arrived.

Jiang Yi had no choice but to leave the villa.

Outside the villa, Jiang Yi did not rush to leave. Instead, he parked his car in a small alley not far from the villa and stared at the villa's main entrance.

Jiang Yi wanted to see who would come to collect the bodies.

However, by the time night fell, he hadn't seen anyone.

Jiang Yi worried there might be a back door, so he returned to the villa and found that the bodies in the living room had disappeared. All traces had been wiped clean, as if nothing had ever happened.

Jiang Yi was frustrated.

He had been careless!

He had been guarding the villa's main entrance and hadn't checked for a back door.

Someone must have entered the villa through the back door and taken away the bodies of the man and the woman.

Today was a wasted effort!

Just as Jiang Yi was about to leave, he accidentally noticed a note placed under a wine bottle on the table.

The note read: If you continue to investigate, I will kill you myself.

Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh. This was a warning from the big boss of Wan Hui Company, or perhaps from someone else.

He wanted to continue investigating, but there were no leads.

Jiang Yi left the villa!

By the time he returned home, it was already around eleven o'clock at night.

Jiang Yi went to his room, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.

The next morning, Jiang Yi was woken by a knock on the door.

He opened his room door and saw Shen Lu.

"Do you need something from me?" Jiang Yi asked.

"The company has encountered some trouble, and Auntie wants to discuss it with you!" Shen Lu said.

"Mm!"

Jiang Yi nodded, went back to his room to get dressed, and followed Shen Lu to the living room.

He saw Chen Kun and Dong Rui in the living room as well.

"A batch of our company's perfume has been seized by the Beijing Chamber of Commerce due to economic disputes! You know people in the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, don't you? Go and say a word, and get this batch of perfume back!" Li Ping said to Jiang Yi with a serious expression. "The value of this batch of perfume is immense. If it's not recovered, it will be a considerable loss for our company, and it will also greatly impact our company's reputation. As long as the perfume can be recovered, no matter what conditions the Beijing Chamber of Commerce sets, try your best to agree!"

"Alright!"

Jiang Yi agreed.

He originally didn't want to deal with people from the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, but Jiang Yi knew that his mother asking him to handle this matter meant it was of great importance.

So, he had to make this trip.

"This batch of perfume was seized by Section Chief Cao of the Supervisory Department of the Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce. You can go find Section Chief Cao!" Li Ping said to Jiang Yi.

"Mm!" Jiang Yi nodded.

"This Section Chief Cao is a very greedy person. When you go to see him this time, he will definitely demand an exorbitant price. We can't suffer in silence, but we also can't offend him!" Li Ping said to Jiang Yi.
