"You can go back first. You don't need to come to the company during this period! Come to see me again when you've figured things out!" Young Master Chou stared at Manager Du.
Manager Du was stunned by his words!
"Young Master Chou, perhaps we should just drop it!"
Jiang Yi spoke to Young Master Chou, "I know it must be because I've gained your trust, and Manager Du is uncomfortable about it, which is why he's deliberately causing trouble for me. This is not a big deal, and there's no need to dismiss Manager Du."
Jiang Yi intentionally pleaded for Manager Du.
"Look at Jiang Yi, how broad-minded he is, while your mind is so narrow!"
Young Master Chou said to Manager Du, "You're increasingly disappointing me. You've been with me for so many years, and now you've become like this."
Manager Du knew that Jiang Yi was doing it on purpose.
Manager Du was very angry but had no choice.
"Hmph!"
Manager Du snorted coldly at Jiang Yi and then turned to leave the villa.
"I didn't expect you to trust Jiang Yi so much!" Hu Niang said with a smile.
"Jiang Yi has helped me greatly, so of course, I trust him!"
Young Master Chou said, "If it weren't for Jiang Yi, we wouldn't be together. This is all thanks to Jiang Yi."
Hearing this, Hu Niang's gaze turned towards Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but smile inwardly.
Young Master Chou being able to be with Hu Niang wasn't due to his own merit. Hu Niang had deliberately approached Young Master Chou, and even if he hadn't helped, Hu Niang would still have ended up with Young Master Chou.
It was just that there were some things Young Master Chou didn't know.
"All three of you are Level Eight assassins. I'm very curious, who among you three is the more skilled fighter!"
Young Master Chou's gaze fell upon Jiang Yi, Bai Sha, and Hei Sha, and he said, "How about this, you have a spar and see who is more formidable!"
"Young Master Chou, I don't think it's necessary!"
Bai Sha sneered, "We all became Level Eight assassins through our own abilities. As for Jiang Yi, he was just lucky; he randomly defeated some ordinary assassins during the test and thus became a Level Eight assassin. Who is stronger or weaker, everyone knows in their hearts!"
Hei Sha also looked at Jiang Yi with disdain.
Jiang Yi sneered inwardly, realizing that Bai Sha and Hei Sha were incredibly arrogant.
There was no need for him to argue with them now.
Since they were so proud, let them continue to be smug.
"Young Master Chou, Bai Sha is right. I only became a Level Eight assassin through luck. How can I compare myself to these two? I'm no match for them. I concede!" Jiang Yi said.
Young Master Chou frowned upon hearing this.
"Jiang Yi, weren't you very arrogant before? Why have you become so timid now? You don't even dare to spar?" Young Master Chou said.
"I have no skills, so I can only admit defeat!" Jiang Yi said.
"You are a Level Eight assassin, how can you admit defeat? You must spar!" Young Master Chou said calmly.
Bai Sha and Hei Sha looked smug.
"Jiang Yi, we won't hold back!"
Hei Sha looked at Jiang Yi with a smug expression.
"Let me test your skills!"
Bai Sha stepped forward, his sharp gaze fixed on Jiang Yi.
"Since this is Young Master Chou's command, I naturally dare not refuse!"
Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
"Stop the nonsense and start quickly!"
Hei Sha's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent, and then he lunged directly at Jiang Yi.
Hei Sha's techniques were very tricky.
Jiang Yi sneered inwardly. Although Hei Sha was a Level Eight assassin, he could easily evade him.
As Jiang Yi evaded, he suddenly took a step back and then fell to the ground.
Everyone present was stunned by this sight!
"I concede!"
Jiang Yi got up from the ground.
Jiang Yi could have defeated Hei Sha, but he deliberately showed weakness to let Hei Sha and Bai Sha continue to be smug.
Seeing how miserably Jiang Yi lost, Hei Sha's face was filled with pride.
"Jiang Yi, you've disappointed me greatly!"
Young Master Chou said calmly, "You and Hei Sha are both Level Eight assassins, yet you lost as soon as you started fighting, and you lost so miserably. It seems you are indeed inferior to Hei Sha."
"As for Bai Sha, there's no need to even mention it. Bai Sha's skills are far superior to Hei Sha's. If you're not a match for Hei Sha, you're even less of a match for Bai Sha!"
Young Master Chou's tone carried a hint of disappointment.
"Young Master Chou, Hei Sha and Bai Sha are both seasoned fighters. I am naturally no match for them!" Jiang Yi said.
"Indeed!"
Young Master Chou took a deep breath and then said, "All three of you may leave now!"
"Yes!"
Jiang Yi, Hei Sha, and Bai Sha responded and left the hall, heading to the courtyard outside.
Seeing that Young Master Chou was not nearby, Hei Sha became even more arrogant. He stared at Jiang Yi and said disdainfully, "With your meager abilities, you're not qualified to be a Level Eight assassin at all. You must have tampered with things behind the scenes to become a Level Eight assassin."
"I did tamper with things!" Jiang Yi said directly.
Upon hearing this, Hei Sha and Bai Sha were both stunned!
They hadn't expected Jiang Yi to not only fail to defend himself but to admit it directly.
"You do have issues. Confess honestly, what exactly happened?"
Bai Sha said sternly, "Our company is very strict about assassin ranking advancements. Logically, something like this shouldn't happen. This matter is of great importance. If you dare to conceal even a single word, we will kill you ourselves. I presume Young Master Chou wouldn't say anything."
"I cannot say!" Jiang Yi said.
"You need to think clearly. If you don't speak, you'll have no way out. When we report this to Young Master Chou, he will definitely not spare you!" Hei Sha said angrily.
"It's death if I say, and death if I don't. It's all the same," Jiang Yi said.
Hearing this, Hei Sha and Bai Sha frowned.
"If you want me to tell the truth, I have a condition!"
Jiang Yi said, "If you agree to my condition, I will tell you what happened. If you don't agree, I can't do anything, and I won't be able to say a single word."
"What condition do you have?" Hei Sha asked.
"I can tell you the entire process, but you must promise me not to tell anyone that I told you. If anyone asks, say that you investigated and found it out yourselves!" Jiang Yi said.
"I thought it was something major, but it's such a small matter. Alright, I agree!" Hei Sha said.
"Who exactly tampered with things to allow you to become a Level Eight assassin?" Bai Sha asked, staring at Jiang Yi.
"Director Yang helped me," Jiang Yi said.
"Impossible!"
Hei Sha frowned, "Although Director Yang is somewhat dissatisfied with Young Master Chou, he is a rule-abiding person. He would never break company rules for you."
