Chapter 399 The Old Fox

Hu Niang remained silent.

Seeing an opportunity, Young Master Qiu quickly continued, "You know, I liked you the moment I first saw you. No one in this world loves you more than I do. We will be very happy together."

"Alright, I'll give you another chance!" Hu Niang said.

Hearing this, Young Master Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

He hadn't expected Manager Du to do such a thing.

"Manager Yang and Jiang Yi, you two stay. Everyone else, get out!" Young Master Qiu commanded.

Upon hearing this, everyone left the hall.

Now, only Jiang Yi, Manager Yang, Young Master Qiu, and Hu Niang remained in the hall.

"Jiang Yi, I am reappointing you as the company's manager. You will investigate Manager Du. You must find out why he wanted to kill Hu Niang. Once you have the evidence, I will deal with him first!" Young Master Qiu looked at Jiang Yi.

"That may not be possible!" Jiang Yi said deliberately.

"Why?" Young Master Qiu's brows furrowed.

"Manager Du is highly respected in the company. How dare I investigate him! If I have to investigate, I must interrogate him. I don't have the guts for that."

Jiang Yi feigned helplessness.

"Manager Du is now a suspect, and you are the manager. You have the right to investigate and interrogate him. If anyone objects, let them come to me!" Young Master Qiu said in a deep voice.

"Since that's the case, then this matter is entrusted to me. I will definitely find out the truth." Jiang Yi replied.

In reality, Jiang Yi knew that Young Master Qiu wasn't truly trusting him.

He was giving him this task because he had no one else to trust by his side.

Today's incident had made Young Master Qiu suspicious of Manager Yang as well.

As for Black Sha and White Sha, they were merely assassins and were incapable of investigating such matters.

Young Master Qiu had no other option but to turn to Jiang Yi.

"Manager Yang, from now on, you will assist Jiang Yi in investigating Manager Du. I hope you don't play any tricks, otherwise, Manager Du's fate will be yours," Young Master Qiu said, staring at Manager Yang.

"Yes!"

Manager Yang nodded in agreement.

"You two, leave. Don't stand here and bother me!" Young Master Qiu said indifferently.

Hearing this, Jiang Yi and Manager Yang left the bar.

Upon reaching the entrance of the bar, Manager Yang's gaze fell on Jiang Yi, and he sneered, "Today's events are not that simple. Their move here is likely aimed at Manager Du and me. It was Manager Du this time, and it will probably be me next!"

Jiang Yi was taken aback.

Manager Yang was indeed an old fox, and he had already sensed something!

That was right, Hu Niang's target was Manager Du and Manager Yang.

"Jiang Yi, you are also in danger now!" Manager Yang said with a slight smile.

"Why?" Jiang Yi asked.

"This matter is of great importance and involves Manager Du, a veteran of the company. Even if you find out that Manager Du intended to kill Hu Niang, he won't die."

"He is the boss's man. His life and death are decided by the boss. If this matter escalates, you will be the first person the boss wants dead!" Manager Yang said gloatingly.

Hearing this, Jiang Yi's brows furrowed slightly.

He had thought he could use Young Master Qiu to kill Manager Du, but it seemed all his efforts were in vain!

The affairs of Wanhui Company were decided by Young Master Qiu's father, not by Young Master Qiu himself.

Therefore, he had to find other ways!

"What? Scared?" Manager Yang burst into laughter.

"If you don't want to investigate Manager Du, then perhaps Manager Yang should do it!"

Jiang Yi feigned fear and said to Manager Yang, "Manager Yang, you are a veteran of the company. Investigating a high-level leader like Manager Du is something only someone of your status is qualified to do."

"Don't try to flatter me!"

Manager Yang snorted and sneered, "Young Master Qiu just made it clear. You are in charge of investigating and interrogating Manager Du, and I am only assisting. This is Young Master Qiu's order. Young Master Qiu is the company's crown prince. How dare I disobey the crown prince's orders?"

Manager Yang's words were laced with schadenfreude.

"Manager Yang, I just saved Madam Yang..." Jiang Yi said.

"That's a different matter!"

Manager Yang replied, "I will repay your favor sooner or later, but I absolutely will not agree to this matter at hand. You should give up on this idea!"

"I'm doomed!" Jiang Yi said with feigned helplessness.

"Don't be so discouraged!"

Manager Yang displayed a sinister smile.

"If you can investigate something unexpected from Manager Du, perhaps you won't only avoid death but will also be highly regarded by the boss."

"Manager Yang, I don't understand!" Jiang Yi said.

"If you don't understand, then figure it out yourself!"

Manager Yang smiled slightly and then got into his car.

Jiang Yi followed him, driving towards Wanhui Company.

In fact, Jiang Yi understood Manager Yang's meaning.

If he were to investigate Manager Du's betrayal of the company, the company's boss would definitely kill Manager Du.

And he, in turn, would earn the boss's respect.

As Jiang Yi drove, he pondered his next plan.

Manager Du would certainly not betray the company.

Now, the only way was to continue framing Manager Du for betraying Wanhui Company, and he had to do it flawlessly.

"Manager Yang, when will the boss return?" Jiang Yi asked.

"The boss has already returned!"

Manager Yang replied, "The boss has been tied up with other matters, which is why he hasn't been to the company. If I'm not mistaken, the boss will return to the company by tomorrow at the latest."

"What is the boss's name?" Jiang Yi asked.

"Why are you asking this?" Manager Yang stared at Jiang Yi.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious!"

Jiang Yi said, "Since joining Wanhui Company, I've been working for it. I can't possibly not know who my boss is!"

"There's no harm in telling you. The boss's name is Qiu Fang. As for other matters, you don't need to know!" Manager Yang said.

Jiang Yi sneered inwardly.

Qiu Fang, that scoundrel, had sent people to harm his family back then. This time, he had to make him pay a heavy price.

Sooner or later, he would kill him with his own hands and avenge his father.

What he needed to do now was to dismantle Wanhui Company step by step.

As they spoke, the car arrived at Wanhui Company.

Jiang Yi parked the car in the company courtyard and followed Manager Yang into the hall.

After inquiring, he learned that Manager Du was under house arrest in the warehouse at the back.

He was being guarded by Black Sha and White Sha personally.

This was an order from Young Master Qiu.

Soon, Jiang Yi and Manager Yang arrived at the warehouse door.
