"Da Sheng Group's affairs have made my superiors very unhappy. If you have a chance, please put in a good word for me with my leader!" Zhou Wentian said in a low voice.
Jiang Yi sneered upon hearing this.
With such a major incident and so many deaths in Jiang Province, Zhou Wentian, as the provincial governor, should have been responsible.
He couldn't help him.
Nor did he want to.
"I'll try my best!" Jiang Yi replied.
Jiang Yi neither agreed nor refused.
Zhou Wentian frowned but said nothing.
He couldn't force Jiang Yi on this matter, especially since the Da Sheng Group incident had caused such a stir. Even if Jiang Yi put in a good word, his superiors wouldn't let him off easily this time.
What Zhou Wentian could do now was to appease those who were harmed by Da Sheng Group as quickly as possible.
At precisely two o'clock, the celebration officially began.
The celebration was very lively.
When the celebration was halfway through, Ye Yanran scanned her surroundings and found that Jiang Yi had disappeared.
Ye Yanran took a deep breath.
She knew that Jiang Yi must have left.
Ye Yanran originally had many things to say to Jiang Yi, but now it was too late.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yi was already on his way to the airport.
Shen Lu was with him.
Jiang Yi had originally intended to bid Ye Yanran farewell, but he felt it was unnecessary.
Jiang Yi had already noticed that Ye Yanran's attitude towards him had changed significantly. Every time she looked at him, her eyes held a trace of tenderness.
Let the past be the past.
Jiang Yi didn't want to get entangled in old feelings again.
Upon arriving at the airport, Jiang Yi and Shen Lu boarded the plane.
At eight in the evening, Jiang Yi and Shen Lu arrived at the Capital City airport and checked into a hotel.
The prosperity of the Capital City was far beyond comparison with Jiang Province.
This was not surprising, as the Capital City was the economic center of the entire Huaxia Nation and also its capital.
Jiang Yi, born in Huaxia, had visited many cities but had never been to the Capital City before.
He hadn't informed his disciples about his trip to the Capital City, otherwise, the airport today would surely have become a focal point.
"I'm going to take a walk on the street!"
Jiang Yi said to Shen Lu.
"I'll go with you!" Shen Lu quickly replied.
"Didn't you say you were very tired earlier?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I'm not tired anymore!"
Fearing that Jiang Yi might not agree, Shen Lu quickly added, "I haven't been to the Capital City in many years and don't know how it has changed. I also want to look around. We can go together."
"Alright!" Jiang Yi agreed.
Seeing that Jiang Yi had agreed, Shen Lu was very happy, but she didn't show it on her face.
After leaving the hotel, Jiang Yi and Shen Lu went onto the street.
Walking through the streets with Jiang Yi, Shen Lu felt an indescribable joy, even a touch of happiness.
Shen Lu had fallen for Jiang Yi long ago but had never dared to express it.
Shen Lu felt she was not worthy of Jiang Yi and was content just to be able to accompany him.
They arrived at a park, and Jiang Yi walked in.
Even though it was evening, the park was still lively, with people everywhere.
There were couples on dates and elderly women doing square dancing.
Jiang Yi found a spot and sat down. Su Dan Novel Network
Shen Lu mustered up great courage before sitting down next to Jiang Yi.
Just then, a woman in her early twenties, with an old man, walked into the park.
The woman had a delicate and beautiful appearance, with two pigtails tied at the back of her head. When she smiled, she revealed two cute little tiger teeth.
The old man, wearing a Zhongshan suit, exuded an aura of stern authority.
"Grandpa, this park is nice, isn't it!"
The woman said to the old man with a smile. "It's evening now, so we can't appreciate the scenery. Let's come back at noon..."
"This park is indeed quite good," the old man nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll accompany you here every day from now on,"
The woman said to the old man. "The doctor said you need to exercise more to strengthen your body and recover faster."
The old man nodded.
Suddenly, a man wearing a baseball cap ran into the park in a panic.
The old man's movements were slow, and he couldn't get out of the way. The man directly collided with him and knocked him to the ground.
The woman's face was filled with anger. She grabbed the man back and, with a graceful high kick, sent him sprawling to the ground.
Before the man could get up, the woman kicked him again.
This kick was incredibly fierce, landing directly in his groin.
The man convulsed in pain, letting out a pig-like scream.
Jiang Yi was stunned by this scene.
This woman was too ruthless.
She looked so cute, yet she showed no mercy in her actions.
She was not only a martial artist but also a master.
"Grandpa, are you alright!"
The woman quickly reached out to help the old man and found that his eyes were closed, his face as pale as paper, and he had fainted.
The woman panicked, almost crying.
The old man's condition was very serious; he wouldn't be able to wait for an ambulance.
"Is there any doctor here? Please save my grandpa..." the woman cried out to the people around her.
No one stepped forward.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath and stood up from his chair.
As a healer, he could not stand by and do nothing.
"Step aside, let me take a look," Jiang Yi walked over.
Hearing this, the woman quickly stood up, but when she saw Jiang Yi, she frowned.
"Are you a doctor?" the woman asked Jiang Yi with a tone of doubt.
"Sort of!" Jiang Yi replied.
Upon hearing this, the woman's brow furrowed even deeper.
"What do you mean by that? I asked if you were a doctor, and you gave me such an ambiguous answer." The woman's expression was very displeased.
Jiang Yi ignored the woman.
Saving the person was the priority, and he had no time to deal with her.
Jiang Yi took out the Nine Heavens Needle and began to treat the old man.
The woman was about to stop Jiang Yi, but when she saw the Nine Heavens Needle in his hand, she was momentarily stunned.
"How did the Nine Heavens Needle get into your hands? Who exactly are you?" the woman stared at Jiang Yi and asked.
Jiang Yi's attention was entirely on the old man, and he paid no heed to the woman.
"This needle is something belonging to our Dongfang family. You must be a thief who stole our family's Nine Heavens Needle," the woman said angrily.
Jiang Yi was taken aback.
This was too coincidental! He had encountered someone from the Dongfang family.
If his guess was correct, this woman and the old man were likely members of the Dongfang family.
"You dare to steal from our Dongfang family? You're tired of living! I can't let you go today; I must teach you a lesson," the woman became more and more enraged.
Jiang Yi was speechless.
This woman was truly all beauty and no brains.
