"I recall the last incident at the bar was also related to Manager Du. This shouldn't be a coincidence. Perhaps Manager Du truly has some ulterior motive!" Manager Yang stated.
Jiang Yi nodded without speaking.
Manager Yang and Manager Du were both old foxes!
However, their actions were all clandestine, so the slightest disturbance would put them on edge.
This was why Jiang Yi's wild claims had made them all suspicious and start to doubt each other.
"Let's hurry over there!" Manager Yang said.
Jiang Yi nodded and sped up the car.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the entrance of the bar.
After being burned down last time, the bar had been renovated and now looked even more luxurious and grand than before.
After getting out of the car, Jiang Yi followed Manager Yang into the bar's main hall.
Upon entering, they found the hall filled with people.
Manager Du and Hu Niang were both present, along with the bodyguards Manager Du had brought and the bar staff.
At this moment, everyone's expressions were very complex.
Manager Du appeared helpless.
Hu Niang, on the other hand, looked furious.
"Miss Hu, what happened earlier was a misunderstanding!"
Manager Du said to Hu Niang with a helpless tone, "I came here this time intending to investigate the disappearance of those bodyguards last time, and I didn't expect you, Miss Hu, to get injured because of it."
"How ridiculous! You were holding a dagger, trying to kill me, and you call it an accident?" Hu Niang frowned.
"Miss Hu, I saw someone sneak into your room. I thought it was some scoundrel, so I followed. I didn't expect the room to be pitch black, and I couldn't see anything. I found someone attempting to attack me, so I retaliated!" Manager Du explained.
"You clearly wanted to kill me, yet you come up with so many excuses!" Hu Niang said, filled with anger.
"You're slandering me!" Manager Du retorted angrily.
"I'm slandering you? It's obvious you're guilty because you're acting like a thief!"
After speaking, Hu Niang looked towards Manager Yang and said, "Manager Yang, you must uphold justice for me!"
Manager Yang merely nodded, remaining silent.
There were too many suspicious points in this matter, and Manager Yang dared not make any hasty judgments.
After all, this involved a company manager and Hu Niang.
Both of them were people close to Young Master Qiu, so Manager Yang was very cautious.
"Manager Du, if you don't give me an explanation today, you're not leaving this place. I will report this to Young Master Qiu and have him settle it for me," Hu Niang declared.
"It's clearly you who wanted to kill me, failed, and are now framing me!" Manager Du said indignantly.
"I wanted to kill you? Then tell me, why would I want to kill you?" Hu Niang asked.
"This..."
Manager Du was instantly speechless.
"Manager Yang, why don't we act quickly! Otherwise, when Young Master Qiu arrives later, you'll surely be scolded!" Jiang Yi suggested.
"This matter has nothing to do with me. Why would Young Master Qiu scold me?" Manager Yang scoffed.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
Although Manager Yang was an old fox, he could sometimes be muddled.
With such a significant incident occurring, Manager Yang did nothing.
If he were Young Master Qiu, he would undoubtedly be furious.
Today promised to be an interesting spectacle!
Just then, a series of curses could be heard from outside the main hall.
Following that, Young Master Qiu entered with an enraged expression.
"Manager Du, I trusted you so much, yet I never expected you to try and kill the woman I love. Today, you must provide me with an explanation, or I will not let you off!" Young Master Qiu shouted at Manager Du, his face filled with fury.
"Young Master Qiu, I've been framed!"
Manager Du stated, "This is clearly a trap set by Hu Niang. She's deliberately slandering me. Young Master Qiu, you must believe me!"
"How can I believe you? Hu Niang has no grudge against you, so why would she frame you?" Young Master Qiu asked.
"This..." Manager Du had no response.
Logically, Hu Niang indeed had no reason to frame Manager Du.
"You don't need to explain!"
Young Master Qiu took a deep breath and then addressed the bodyguards, "Seize Manager Du and take him back to the company. Keep him under close watch. I will dispatch someone to interrogate him!"
"Yes!"
The bodyguards responded and directly escorted Manager Du away.
While this incident was not enough to cost Manager Du his life, from this moment on, he had completely lost Young Master Qiu's trust and would no longer be able to establish himself within Wan Hui Company.
Wan Hui Company was an assassin organization. Although they operated covertly, there were still people aware of their vile deeds.
Manager Du, as a high-ranking executive, had many enemies.
Once he left Wan Hui Company and lost its protection, he would be utterly incapable of dealing with those enemies!
His ultimate fate would be a dead end!
"Manager Yang, you clearly knew Manager Du had malicious intentions. Why didn't you stop him and instead allowed him to harm Hu Niang?" Young Master Qiu questioned Manager Yang.
"This matter is of great importance. I am merely a mere manager, how could I presume to make decisions?" Manager Yang said hurriedly.
"This is clearly your excuse!"
Young Master Qiu sneered, "Don't think I'm a fool. You and Manager Du are both not good people. While this matter doesn't directly involve you, you still bear responsibility."
Hearing this, Manager Yang's brows furrowed.
He knew that although Young Master Qiu wasn't doing anything to him this time, he had been resentful of him.
Jiang Yi looked at Manager Yang and smiled faintly.
He had told Manager Yang earlier that if he remained indifferent, he would surely be scolded by Young Master Qiu, but Manager Yang hadn't listened.
"Let's break up!"
Hu Niang suddenly said to Young Master Qiu.
Upon hearing this, Young Master Qiu panicked!
"Hu Niang, why? I just avenged you," Young Master Qiu said, unwilling to accept it.
"What's the use of avenging me when Manager Du tried to kill me? He's still alive, and he'll surely try to harm me again in the future."
"I've made up my mind. After breaking up with you, I'll leave the capital. I don't want to live in fear every day anymore. I can't stand this kind of life!"
Hu Niang looked at Young Master Qiu and said, "I don't know what Wan Hui Company does, but I know that your company must be involved in some illicit activities. Being with you is too dangerous. Living in constant fear is not the life I want."
Hearing these words, Young Master Qiu's brow furrowed tightly.
"Hu Niang, I know you're very angry right now, and you want to calm down. We can talk about breaking up later. As for Manager Du trying to kill you, I will give you an explanation!" Young Master Qiu quickly stated.
