"The company's higher-ups wouldn't be spies. Perhaps this is just a coincidence, and I'm overthinking things!" Jiang Yi said.
Manager Yang remained silent, his face a mask of contemplation.
The office fell silent, utterly devoid of sound.
The atmosphere was incredibly oppressive.
"Manager Yang, should this mission continue?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Of course, it must continue!"
Manager Yang's gaze sharpened as he looked at Jiang Yi and spoke, "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, it must be swift. If this drags on, I fear something terrible will happen!"
"Yes!"
Jiang Yi acknowledged.
Jiang Yi sneered inwardly.
Manager Yang was an old fox, yet he had still been fooled by him.
Manager Yang was very intelligent. The reason he believed him was undoubtedly related to the infighting among the company's higher-ups.
"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, grim-faced middle-aged man walked in.
This middle-aged man was none other than Manager Du, Manager Yang's archenemy.
Like Manager Yang, Manager Du was a high-ranking executive at Wanhui Company, with many top experts serving him.
"What are you doing here?" Manager Yang stared at Manager Du and said in a deep voice.
"I've come to see you, of course, there's business!"
Manager Du glared at Manager Yang and questioned with a face full of anger, "I ask you, were my subordinates, the Yuwen Chong brothers, killed by an assassin under your command? You're too despicable. While I was on a business trip, you actually sent an assassin to kill my men. If you don't give me an explanation for this, I won't let this go today!"
"Hmph!"
Manager Yang let out a cold snort and said in a deep voice, "Yuwen Chong was incompetent. Their deaths were well-deserved. It's no use coming to me!"
"The Yuwen Chong brothers were top experts. I've investigated, and they were killed by an assassin under your command using despicable means. Hand over that kid immediately, or I won't let you off!" Manager Du said furiously.
"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 Chou. 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 an hour to hand over that kid Jiang Yi, otherwise, you know the consequences!" Manager Du said and then turned to leave the office.
What Manager Du didn't know was that Jiang Yi was standing in Manager Yang's office at that very moment.
Manager Du had never met Jiang Yi, so he didn't recognize him.
"Manager Yang, have I gotten into big trouble?" Jiang Yi asked, feigning worry.
"Yes, you have indeed gotten into big trouble!"
Manager Yang frowned and said to Jiang Yi, "Manager Du is a high-ranking executive at the company, just like me, and he's my sworn enemy. He's always looking for opportunities to push me out. Now that you've killed the Yuwen Chong brothers, he's found a handle on me. With that scoundrel's personality, he's bound to make a huge fuss."
Jiang Yi sneered inwardly.
This was good for him.
The internal strife among Wanhui Company's higher-ups would surely throw the company into chaos, greatly weakening its strength. It would then be time for him to destroy this company.
"I don't care about a mere Manager Du. I'm worried about Young Master Chou behind him," Manager Yang took a deep breath.
"Who is Young Master Chou?" Jiang Yi asked.
"He's the company boss's only son and the general manager. On the surface, he's a big shot, but in reality, he's a good-for-nothing!"
Manager Yang said, "Young Master Chou is arrogant and conceited, and he's also a lecher. Ever since he became the general manager, the company has been in utter disarray!"
Jiang Yi deliberately showed a frightened expression.
"Manager Yang, it seems I've really gotten into big trouble this time. If I stay in the company now, I'll surely be dead. I need to leave the company quickly." Jiang Yi said urgently.
"What are you afraid of? Don't I still have you?"
Manager Yang said coldly, "Don't worry! With me here, no one can touch you. Although Young Master Chou has great power, he wouldn't dare do anything to me. I'm a veteran of the company. Without the boss's consent, he wouldn't dare to make a move against me."
"Then what should we do now? Manager Du just said you have one hour to hand me over to him!" Jiang Yi said.
"You go back first and wait for my news. For now, don't come to the company," 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 in the lobby, with a large group of people behind him. These people were all top killers.
Judging by the honor badges on them, they were all Level Five assassins.
To be a Level Five assassin, their skills must be quite good.
Jiang Yi had no intention of slipping away.
He had to escalate the matter.
Only by escalating the matter could he make the internal conflict within Wanhui Company more intense.
At this moment, Manager Du was arranging for people to block the company's entrance and sending 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 are looking for. The Yuwen Chong brothers died at my hands."
Jiang Yi looked at Manager Du and smiled slightly, "Manager Yang, don't you want to avenge the Yuwen Chong brothers? I am here before you now."
Upon hearing this, Manager Du's eyes immediately revealed a chilling murderous intent.
"Kid, you have quite the nerve! Knowing that I'm looking everywhere for you, you actually dare to show up. Did Manager Yang give you the courage?" Manager Du said with a grim expression.
"Stop with the nonsense!"
Jiang Yi grinned and said, "If you want to fight, do it quickly. Don't waste my time. I don't have time to chat with you here..."
Manager Du was thoroughly angered by this.
Jiang Yi was deliberately provoking Manager Du.
Within Wanhui Company, very few people had the guts to provoke him so brazenly.
"You're seeking death!"
Manager Du glared ferociously at Jiang Yi, then shouted to the assassins behind him, "Kill this kid!"
As soon as the words fell, a burly assassin dressed in a leather jacket stepped forward.
