Chapter 675 Making a Choice

Dongfang Mei watched Song Tong and Dongfang Xun flee in disarray and couldn't help but laugh.

"You were quite ruthless!"

Dongfang Mei said with a smile, "Song Tong's beautiful face is all swollen, it will probably hurt for days. Dongfang Xun's ribs are likely broken in several places. Their first stop will definitely be the hospital."

"I never go soft on people like them!" Jiang Yi smiled faintly.

"I'm starting to worry now!"

Dongfang Mei's brows furrowed tightly.

"Previously, we could still get convenience with the help of the Capital Chamber of Commerce. But now, Changsun Xiong is under investigation and has lost his authority. All power has fallen into the hands of the vice-chairman."

"One Ye Yanran is enough for us to deal with. Coupled with the vice-chairman who holds great power, we might..."

"No need to worry. In a few days, the great power will return to Changsun Xiong's hands," Jiang Yi chuckled.

"Why are you so sure?"

Dongfang Mei couldn't help but ask.

"I know people from higher up in the Capital Chamber of Commerce!" Jiang Yi replied.

Hearing this, Dongfang Mei was stunned.

After a long while, Dongfang Mei finally came back to her senses.

"How many connections do you have? How many important figures do you know? Not only do you know big figures like Stephen, but you also know the leaders above the Capital Chamber of Commerce..."

If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, Dongfang Mei would never have believed it.

"I know many important figures, too many to remember. I only recall them when I need their help," Jiang Yi grinned.

Dongfang Mei couldn't help but roll her eyes at Jiang Yi.

"It seems I worried for nothing. With you here, I don't have to worry about anything. You can solve all problems and troubles."

Dongfang Mei said with a smile, "I'm hungry, let's go in and eat!"

"Mm!"

Jiang Yi nodded and entered the restaurant with Dongfang Mei.

Upon reaching the private room, Dongfang Mei began to order dishes.

Since there were only two of them, Dongfang Mei didn't order many dishes, just two or three.

"The chef at this restaurant is the best cook in the entire capital. I used to eat here often. Later, after tasting the dishes you cooked, I felt like the food from this restaurant had no taste at all, and I even found it hard to swallow," Dongfang Mei said.

"If that's the case, why come here to eat? I can cook for you at home," Jiang Yi said.

"Although your cooking is delicious, it lacks that romantic feeling. Besides, with so many people at home, I feel uncomfortable every time we eat."

"Especially when Mom eats with us, I don't even dare to touch my chopsticks, for fear of upsetting her," Dongfang Mei said.

Jiang Yi felt a little helpless upon hearing this.

It seemed Dongfang Mei was still afraid of her mother.

In fact, there was no need to be afraid; her mother wouldn't eat people.

"Dudu..."

Jiang Yi's phone suddenly rang!

Jiang Yi opened it and saw it was from Changsun Xiong.

"Just mentioning Changsun Xiong, and he calls. It must be about his investigation."

Jiang Yi said, and then answered the call.

Just as Jiang Yi had guessed, Changsun Xiong started talking about his investigation as soon as he spoke.

Jiang Yi didn't say much, telling Changsun Xiong the restaurant's address and inviting him to discuss it there.

Before understanding the specifics, Jiang Yi couldn't help Changsun Xiong.

Changsun Xiong had to explain the situation clearly so that Jiang Yi could then contact Changsun Xiong's superiors.

As long as the matter was clarified, Jiang Yi could settle it with a single phone call.

"I originally wanted to have dinner with you alone, but you've invited Changsun Xiong! It's ruined the mood," Dongfang Mei complained.

"I know, but dealing with important matters comes first!" Jiang Yi said.

Dongfang Mei was understanding and knew that Changsun Xiong's situation was the priority.

Only when Changsun Xiong regained his position as chairman could he better assist Tiansheng Group and the Dongfang family.

Dongfang Mei's complaint was just a casual remark.

"If Changsun Xiong has made a serious mistake this time, I'll have to consider finding someone else to replace him as the chairman of the Capital Chamber of Commerce," Jiang Yi said.

"You can casually replace the chairman of the Capital Chamber of Commerce. It seems the leader you know is no ordinary person. I feel even more at ease now. Even if the sky falls, I won't have to worry," Dongfang Mei said with a smile.

Jiang Yi smiled faintly.

Dongfang Mei was right; she didn't have to worry about anything. Everything was under control.

After nearly half an hour, Changsun Xiong arrived!

Changsun Xiong's expression was very grim. After entering the private room, he quickly greeted Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei.

"Mr. Jiang, I've gotten into big trouble this time. You must help me."

Changsun Xiong pleaded with Jiang Yi, "Right now, only you can save me."

If anyone saw this scene, they would probably be dumbfounded.

The dignified chairman of the Capital Chamber of Commerce was humbly begging Jiang Yi.

"What exactly happened? Explain it clearly, and then I can help you!" Jiang Yi said.

"A year ago, my son, Changsun Hao, accepted money from a real estate developer to help him with land issues. It escalated into a physical altercation."

"Afterward, that unfilial son had his bodyguards beat one of the small bosses to death. To escape responsibility, he used my name to suppress the matter!"

Changsun Xiong took a deep breath. "Unexpectedly, the vice-chairman leaked this matter to the media and found a lot of evidence. Now I'm implicated."

"The superiors sent many people to investigate this matter, and they have also stripped me of my chairman's authority, intending to interrogate me strictly!"

Jiang Yi frowned upon hearing this.

"So it's your son's mess again!"

Jiang Yi said lightly, "Human life is at stake. No wonder your superiors are dealing with you so harshly, directly stripping you of your chairman's authority. It's only a step away from removing you from your position!"

"This matter has blown up too much! I have no other options now, so I can only come to you, Mr. Jiang," Changsun Xiong said helplessly.

"I can help you, but you need to clean up your own mess first. This is your son's doing, and you were unaware of it, which is excusable," Jiang Yi said.

Hearing this, Changsun Xiong felt a slight sense of relief.

"But you need to think clearly. Do you want to protect your son, or do you want to protect your position as chairman?" Jiang Yi looked at Changsun Hao.

"This unfilial son did something like this, he deserves his punishment."

Changsun Xiong said, "I'm not clinging to the position of chairman. In this situation, only by retaining my position as chairman can I protect the entire Changsun family. I cannot abandon the entire Changsun family for this unfilial son."
