"Young Master, you still don't trust me, sending people to follow me." Jiang Yi frowned and spoke to Xiao Jianren.
Then, Jiang Yi's gaze fell on the bodyguard.
In fact, when he left the old mansion earlier, Jiang Yi had already noticed that this bodyguard was following him.
"Don't misunderstand!"
Xiao Jianren quickly explained, "If I don't trust you, who else can I trust? I had the bodyguard follow you because I was worried that Xiao Wenbin would make a move on you. I wanted to protect you in secret."
Jiang Yi was not a fool.
Jiang Yi knew that Xiao Jianren was trying to trick him. He was clearly worried that Jiang Yi would be bribed by Xiao Wenbin, which was why he had the bodyguard follow him.
However, Jiang Yi did not pursue the matter.
He was using Xiao Jianren.
Some things were best overlooked.
Xiao Wenbin and Doctor Yan beside them frowned, their eyes fixed on Jiang Yi.
"This is impossible!"
Xiao Wenbin spoke, "Anyone targeted by Du Xiaoyue has no chance of survival. Jiang Yi has no status, no power, how could Du Xiaoyue let him go?"
Doctor Yan did not speak, his face also showing confusion.
"Xiao Wenbin, Jiang Yi has returned safely, do you have anything else to say?" Xiao Jianren asked Xiao Wenbin with a smile.
Xiao Wenbin's face darkened.
"Don't celebrate too early!"
Xiao Wenbin snorted coldly and said faintly, "Even if Jiang Yi returns alive, so what? With his medical skills, he cannot cure the old master. Only Doctor Yan has the ability to cure the old master, and the position of family head will still be mine."
"Don't dream!" Xiao Jianren said.
"We'll see!"
After speaking, Xiao Wenbin took Doctor Yan and went directly to the back courtyard.
Xiao Jianren stood in place, his face full of disdain.
Jiang Yi sneered inwardly.
Xiao Jianren and Xiao Wenbin were like dogs fighting each other.
Neither of them was a good person.
"By the way, the bodyguard I sent personally saw you being taken away by Du Xiaoyue's people. Given Du Xiaoyue's temper, even if she didn't kill you, she would have flayed you. Why did she let you go?" Xiao Jianren asked Jiang Yi curiously.
"Miss Du saw that I was very skilled and wanted to learn from me, so she let me go!" Jiang Yi said.
Xiao Jianren was stunned.
After coming to his senses, Xiao Jianren grinned.
"That's great!"
Xiao Jianren said excitedly, "Du Xiaoyue is no ordinary person, she is a big shot. If you get acquainted with her, we will have a great backer!"
"At that time, I won't even need to put Xiao Wenbin in my eyes."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
This Xiao Jianren was truly amusing. As soon as he heard that Du Xiaoyue wanted to learn from him, he started thinking about finding Du Xiaoyue as a backer.
"Du Xiaoyue is no ordinary person, we should interact with her more in the future."
Xiao Jianren grinned, "I need to think about what gift to give. Du Xiaoyue comes from a noble background, and she won't care for ordinary gifts. I need to ponder carefully..."
"A gift?" Jiang Yi frowned.
"That's right, of course, we have to give a gift."
Xiao Jianren said, "Jiang Yi, this time you've turned misfortune into good fortune. Du Xiaoyue wants to learn from you, so from now on, you'll be in a master-disciple relationship. Only by giving a gift can the relationship be further solidified."
Xiao Jianren was very serious about this matter and immediately began to ponder!
This was not surprising.
If Xiao Jianren had this backer, he could walk sideways in the Xiao family. Su Dan Novel Network
Not only in the Xiao family, but very few people in the capital would dare to provoke Xiao Jianren.
"Fine, you send the gift yourself!" Jiang Yi said.
"Okay! I'll send it!" Xiao Jianren said.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Jianren asked.
"Young Master, you're really thoughtful, even thinking of giving gifts. I'm truly impressed!" Jiang Yi said with a smile.
"You don't understand!"
Xiao Jianren said, "If you want to find a backer, giving gifts is essential. Only when the gift is in place will there be an opportunity!"
"This is a skill. You can learn from me slowly in the future. Once you learn it, you'll be able to thrive."
Jiang Yi suppressed his laughter.
"By the way, how did your talks with your aunt go?"
Xiao Jianren asked Jiang Yi.
"I only talked to her once, as you know. Her attitude is very firm, she won't agree to me treating the old master!" Jiang Yi said.
"Talking once won't be enough, you have to keep talking to her! No matter what means you use, you must find a way to treat the old master and cure him. Only by curing the old master can I have a chance to become the Xiao family head!" Xiao Jianren said with a frown.
"I can use any means?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Yes!"
Xiao Jianren nodded.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Isn't that nonsense?"
Xiao Jianren's face darkened. "As long as you can cure the old master, I won't blame you for anything you do!"
"I do have an idea!" Jiang Yi said.
"What idea?" Xiao Jianren asked.
"I heard that your Xiao family had an infant who went missing back then. From Xiao Cuiying's tone, she seemed to care a lot about that infant! If that infant is still alive, she should be in her early twenties by now!" Jiang Yi said.
"That's right, that's my cousin!"
Xiao Jianren said, "Actually, I don't know much about what happened back then. I was only three or four years old at the time. I heard many things from my parents!"
"Is that infant still alive?" Jiang Yi asked deliberately.
"She's missing!"
Xiao Jianren said, "After that infant was born, my aunt was helping to look after her in the hospital. But unexpectedly, after something happened to our Xiao family, that infant was stolen."
"My aunt feels very guilty and has been looking for that infant all these years. In fact, many of us know that the infant might have already died!"
Jiang Yi nodded.
"Why are you asking this?" Xiao Jianren's brows furrowed.
"The method I'm talking about is related to this infant!"
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows and scanned the surroundings.
Seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, he then said to Xiao Jianren, "Xiao Cuiying is looking for that infant, right? Then I'll use this to get her to agree to let me treat Old Master Xiao. Xiao Cuiying feels guilty, and if I ask, she'll probably agree."
"Good idea!"
Xiao Jianren nodded, "Go find a woman and tell my aunt that this woman is her niece, the infant who went missing back then."
"En!" Jiang Yi nodded.
He didn't expect Xiao Jianren to be so easily fooled.
With just a casual remark, he agreed!
