“The company’s high-ups wouldn’t be spies. Perhaps this is just a coincidence; I’m overthinking it!” Jiang Yi said.
Manager Yang remained silent, his face etched with contemplation.
The office fell silent, a deafening quiet.
The atmosphere felt oppressive.
“Manager Yang, should the mission continue?” Jiang Yi asked.
“Of course, it must continue!”
Manager Yang’s gaze turned sharp as he looked at Jiang Yi. “You go back first. I’ll send people to search for that woman’s whereabouts. Once she’s found, you act immediately. No matter what method you use, you must resolve it quickly. If this drags on, I fear something major will happen!”
“Yes!”
Jiang Yi replied.
A cold sneer played on Jiang Yi’s lips.
Manager Yang was a cunning old fox, yet he had still been fooled by him.
Manager Yang was clever. The reason he believed him was likely connected to the infighting among the company’s senior executives.
“Manager Yang, if you have nothing else to instruct, I’ll be leaving now!” Jiang Yi said.
“Mm.”
Manager Yang nodded.
Jiang Yi turned to leave.
Just then, the office door was pushed open, and a thin, gloomy middle-aged man walked in.
This middle-aged man was none other than Manager Du, Manager Yang’s arch-rival.
Like Manager Yang, Manager Du was also a senior executive at Wan Hui Company, commanding many top-tier experts.
“What are you doing here?” Manager Yang asked Manager Du, his voice deep.
“I’ve come to see you, of course, I have business!”
Manager Du stared intently at Manager Yang, his face filled with rage, and questioned, “I’m asking you, were my subordinates, the Yuwen Chong brothers, killed by an assassin under your command? You are too despicable. While I was on a business trip, you actually took the lives of people under me. If you don’t give me an explanation for this, I won’t let this go today!”
“Hmph!”
Manager Yang snorted coldly and said, “Yuwen Chong was incompetent. Their deaths were deserved. It’s useless for you to come to me!”
“The Yuwen Chong brothers were top experts. I’ve investigated, and they were killed by an assassin under your command through despicable means. Hand over that kid immediately, or I won’t let you off!” Manager Du said angrily.
“Are you trying to cause trouble?” Manager Yang asked.
“So what if I am?”
Manager Du stared at Manager Yang fearlessly. “Don’t forget, the person behind me is Young Master Qiu. With him backing me, even if I killed you, no one would dare to say a word.”
“Get out!” Manager Yang shouted, a murderous glint in his eyes.
“I’ll give you one hour to hand over that kid Jiang Yi, or you’ll face the consequences!” Manager Du finished, then turned and left the office.
What Manager Du didn’t know was that Jiang Yi was currently standing in Manager Yang’s office.
Manager Du had never met Jiang Yi, so he didn’t recognize him.
“Manager Yang, have I really gotten into big trouble?” Jiang Yi asked, feigning worry.
“That’s right, you’ve indeed gotten into big trouble!” Manager Yang said to Jiang Yi with a frown. “Manager Du, like me, is a senior executive of the company and also my arch-rival. He’s always looking for an opportunity to oust me. This time, you killed the Yuwen Chong brothers, giving him leverage. Given this scoundrel’s nature, he will definitely stir up a huge storm.”
Jiang Yi inwardly sneered.
This was a good thing for him.
The infighting among the senior executives of Wan Hui Company would undoubtedly throw the company into chaos and greatly weaken its strength. It would then be his chance to destroy the company.
“I don’t care about a mere Manager Du. I’m worried about Young Master Qiu behind him,” Manager Yang said, taking a deep breath.
“Who is Young Master Qiu?” Jiang Yi asked.
“He is the only son of the company’s boss and serves as the company’s general manager. On the surface, he’s a significant figure, but in reality, he’s a good-for-nothing!”
Manager Yang said, “Young Master Qiu is arrogant and conceited, and he’s also a lecher. Ever since he became the company’s general manager, the company has been in a mess!”
Jiang Yi deliberately put on a scared expression.
“Manager Yang, it seems I’ve truly gotten into big trouble this time. If I continue to stay in the company now, I’ll surely be doomed. I need to leave the company quickly,” Jiang Yi said urgently.
“What are you afraid of? Don’t I have your back?”
Manager Yang said coldly, “Don’t worry! With me here, no one can touch you. Although Young Master Qiu has great power, he wouldn’t dare do anything to me. I’m a veteran of the company. Without the boss’s consent, he doesn’t dare to move me casually.”
“Then what should we do? Manager Du just said he wants you to hand me over within an hour!” Jiang Yi said.
“You go back first and wait for my news. Don’t come to the company for the time being!” Manager Yang said.
“Mm.”
Jiang Yi acknowledged and then left the office.
As soon as he reached the lobby downstairs, he saw Manager Du sitting on a sofa, with a large group of people behind him. These people were all top assassins.
Judging by their glory badges, they were all Level Five assassins.
To become a Level Five assassin, their skills must be considerable.
Jiang Yi had no intention of sneaking away.
He had to make the situation blow up.
Only by escalating the matter could the internal conflict within Wan Hui Company become more intense.
At this moment, Manager Du was arranging for people to block the company’s main entrance and dispatching others to search for Jiang Yi within the company.
Jiang Yi had no intention of leaving anyway.
“Are you Manager Du?”
Jiang Yi walked towards Manager Du and asked.
Manager Du’s sharp gaze fell upon Jiang Yi.
“I am the Jiang Yi you’re looking for. The Yuwen Chong brothers died at my hands.”
Jiang Yi looked at Manager Du and smiled slightly. “Manager Yang, aren’t you looking to avenge the Yuwen Chong brothers? I am standing right in front of you now.”
Upon hearing this, a cold killing intent immediately flashed in Manager Du’s eyes.
“Kid, you’ve got some nerve! Knowing I’m looking everywhere for you, you actually dare to come looking for me. It must be Manager Yang who gave you the courage!” Manager Du said, his face gloomy.
“Stop the nonsense!”
Jiang Yi grinned. “If you want to fight, hurry up. Don’t waste my time. I don’t have time to chat with you here…”
Hearing this, Manager Du was furious.
Jiang Yi was deliberately provoking Manager Du.
Within Wan Hui Company, very few people dared to openly provoke him with such impunity.
“You’re seeking death!”
Manager Du glared fiercely at Jiang Yi and then shouted to the assassins behind him, “Kill this kid!”
As soon as the words fell, a burly assassin wearing a leather jacket stepped forward.
