Just then, Young Master Qiu walked in from outside the hall.
“You haven’t been turned by the Qiu family, have you?”
Jiang Yi looked at Young Master Qiu and asked with a smile.
“My dad told me to find an opportunity to kill you.”
Young Master Qiu looked at Jiang Yi and said, “I absolutely won’t do that. My dad is a ruthless person. He’s not just targeting you this time; he’s also targeting me.”
“Even if I kill you, he won’t let me off. Also, I need to cooperate with you to achieve my goals. I would never be foolish enough to listen to my dad.”
“I believe you!” Jiang Yi said.
This surprised Young Master Qiu.
He had originally thought he would have to put in a lot of effort to make Jiang Yi believe him, but to Young Master Qiu’s surprise, before he could even explain, Jiang Yi had already believed him!
In fact, Jiang Yi didn’t trust Young Master Qiu; he simply didn’t take Young Master Qiu seriously at all.
So, whether he believed him or not was irrelevant.
“My dad has already set up all the traps. After you hand over the antidote, he will make his move directly. You must be prepared, otherwise, both you and I will die today,” Young Master Qiu said with a solemn expression.
“I’m already prepared!” Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Young Master Qiu was stunned!
“I plan to eliminate your father while capturing Bo Ren. He entered this villa complex today, and he won’t leave here alive.”
“After he dies, you will be the boss of Wan Hui Company,” Jiang Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Young Master Qiu grinned.
Young Master Qiu’s goal was about to be achieved, and his face was filled with excitement.
An hour passed quickly!
Seeing that Bo Ren had not arrived, Shi Jin couldn’t wait any longer!
“Logically speaking, Bo Ren should have arrived by now, but we haven’t even seen a shadow of him. Could it be that Qiu Fang betrayed you, Mr. Jiang, and informed Bo Ren about our ambush here in advance?” Shi Jin asked.
“Impossible!”
Jiang Yi stated definitively, “Qiu Fang is not a fool. He knows very well that if I can’t capture Bo Ren, I won’t give him the antidote. Without the antidote, Qiu Fang will surely die.”
“Qiu Fang is an old fox; he won’t do anything foolish. Besides, Qiu Fang knows very well that only by using me to get rid of Bo Ren can he rest easy and become the true boss of Wan Hui Company.”
“What you said makes sense. He won’t do anything self-destructive before he gets the antidote. Bo Ren is an old fox, but he is also a very cautious person.”
“Perhaps he has sensed the danger and is afraid to show himself. Another possibility is that Bo Ren has been delayed by something!” Shen Lu said.
Jiang Yi nodded.
“I’ll go out and take a look!”
Shi Jin finished speaking and walked out of the villa hall.
Young Master Qiu immediately followed.
Young Master Qiu also wanted to contribute to this matter, because Jiang Yi had promised him earlier that once Bo Ren was captured and Qiu Fang was eliminated, he would let him become the boss of Wan Hui Company.
“Aren’t you worried at all? If we can’t catch Bo Ren, then all this effort will be in vain!” Shen Lu said.
“Worrying is useless!”
Jiang Yi took a sip of tea and then continued, “All we can do now is continue waiting here for Bo Ren to show himself.”
“I don’t know why, but I have a bad feeling,” Shen Lu said, frowning.
As soon as Shen Lu finished speaking, Shi Jin ran in from outside with a troubled expression.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yi asked.
“Just now, a scream was heard from Bo Ren’s mistress’s villa. It was a man’s voice,” Shi Jin said. “I checked before, and only Bo Ren’s mistress lives in this entire villa, with no servants at all. This is too strange!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi strode outside.
Shi Jin and Shen Lu quickly followed.
By the time Jiang Yi arrived at the entrance of Bo Ren’s mistress’s villa, Qiu Fang and Young Master Qiu had already entered the villa.
Jiang Yi didn’t have time to think and immediately went inside.
Upon reaching the hall, he found Bo Ren’s mistress sitting on the ground in a state of panic. Judging by her attire, she had just come out of the bathroom, and her hair was still wet.
Not far from Bo Ren’s mistress, a middle-aged man’s corpse lay on the ground.
The middle-aged man had been stabbed in the chest.
At this moment, the knife was still inserted in his chest, and his body was covered in blood.
Soon, Jiang Yi noticed a thumb ring on the middle-aged man’s finger.
Jiang Yi removed the thumb ring and handed it to Shen Lu.
Shen Lu examined it for a while and then said to Jiang Yi, “This thumb ring belongs to Bo Ren. It seems this is Bo Ren’s body. We are too late; someone acted in advance and killed him.”
Jiang Yi remained silent.
A thumb ring alone proved nothing.
No one had seen Bo Ren’s face, so whether this middle-aged man was Bo Ren was unknown.
“Is this person Bo Ren?” Qiu Fang asked the mistress of Bo Ren in a deep voice.
“Yes!” The mistress of Bo Ren quickly replied.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Fang smiled and then looked back at Jiang Yi.
“Jiang Yi, Bo Ren’s mistress has identified him. This person is Bo Ren. Although Bo Ren is dead, I have kept my promise. Now you should give me the antidote!”
“This person may not necessarily be Bo Ren. Before there is evidence to prove he is Bo Ren, I cannot give you the antidote for now!” Jiang Yi said.
“Jiang Yi, you dare to go back on your word!” Qiu Fang said, full of anger.
“Boss Qiu, Mr. Jiang will not give you the antidote until the matter is investigated and clarified. If you wish to take action, we will see you through to the end,” Shi Jin said.
Hearing this, the killers behind Qiu Fang revealed their killing intent, preparing to make a move.
Qiu Fang’s face darkened.
Qiu Fang desperately wanted to make a move now, but without the antidote, he could only endure it.
“What do you want in exchange for the antidote?” Qiu Fang asked Jiang Yi.
“I want to confirm if this corpse is Bo Ren’s. If it is Bo Ren’s, I will give you the antidote immediately. If not, we will continue to pursue Bo Ren.”
“If I can’t catch Bo Ren, I won’t give you the antidote,” Jiang Yi said.
Qiu Fang was filled with anger.
Jiang Yi ignored Qiu Fang and focused his gaze on Bo Ren’s mistress.
“I have a few questions for you!” Jiang Yi looked at Bo Ren’s mistress and asked, “How did he die? Tell me the entire sequence of events. I promise that no one here will touch you. If you don’t tell the truth, your fate will be dire.”
“Bo Ren actually lived in my villa all along. A few hours ago, he said he was being targeted and asked me to call his phone. He used this opportunity to leave the villa, and later I went to the bathroom to take a shower.”
“I thought he had already left, but to my surprise, as soon as I entered the bathroom, I heard a scream from the hall. When I came out, I saw his corpse!” the mistress of Bo Ren said.
