"You are indeed a smart person, knowing that cooperating with me is your only chance to survive."
Jiang Yi said with a smile, "During this period, you monitor Qiu Fang's every move. If there's any anomaly, tell me immediately."
"Okay!" The secretary nodded.
Jiang Yi did not linger. He got into the car with Shen Lu and started the engine.
When the car reached the end of the street, Shen Lu finally spoke to Jiang Yi, "Qiu Fang's secretary is very calculating. Her words may not be trustworthy. She might be sent by Qiu Fang to test you."
"I have no intention of trusting Qiu Fang's secretary," Jiang Yi replied.
"That's good!"
After Shen Lu finished speaking, she continued to ask Jiang Yi, "Are you really planning to give the antidote to Qiu Fang? Once Qiu Fang's poison is cured, he can deal with you without any scruples, and will have no further worries."
Jiang Yi grinned.
"What are you smiling about?" Shen Lu asked curiously.
"I must give the antidote to Qiu Fang, because only then will Qiu Fang tell me the identity of the big boss!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly, "However, I will add some poison to the antidote. These poisons are undetectable even by the famous physicians in the capital. When Qiu Fang takes the antidote, he will also ingest the poison within it."
"In the end, Qiu Fang will still be under my control. Qiu Fang is one of the murderers of my father, so of course I will not let him go."
Hearing this, Shen Lu couldn't help but laugh.
"You are the top physician in the capital. Your duty is to treat illnesses and save people, but you are using poison to harm others. If this gets out, aren't you afraid it will damage your reputation?" Shen Lu said with a smile.
"How much is reputation worth?"
Jiang Yi said, "Besides, one should use the appropriate methods to deal with different people. Poisoning is indeed despicable, but it depends on whom you are dealing with!"
"Qiu Fang is a scourge of society. Countless people have died by his hand. I consider it eliminating a scourge for the people."
"I agree with your approach. That's right, there's no need for righteous methods when dealing with someone like Qiu Fang," Shen Lu said.
Jiang Yi said nothing more and continued to drive.
When they returned home, as soon as Jiang Yi entered the living room, he saw Xiao Xin sitting on the sofa.
Xiao Xin was very unhappy. Seeing Jiang Yi return, she ignored him and turned her head to the side.
"From now on, I will have Chen Kun be your bodyguard to protect your safety," Jiang Yi said to Xiao Xin.
"I don't need anyone's protection!"
Xiao Xin snorted.
Jiang Yi knew that Xiao Xin was still angry with him.
"I'm doing this for your safety!"
Jiang Yi looked at Xiao Xin and said, "Do you know how worried we were after you were kidnapped? From now on, I won't let anyone harm a single hair on your head."
Xiao Xin was not someone who made unreasonable demands. Hearing Jiang Yi's words, she felt a little guilty.
"I'm sorry, I made you worry!" Xiao Xin said.
"It's my fault, I didn't protect you well!"
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
"Don't run off recklessly again. Be good and obedient. After everything is over, you can do whatever you want."
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Xiao Xin said.
Seeing Xiao Xin being so sensible, Jiang Yi felt relieved.
At this moment, Dongfang Mei returned.
When she saw Xiao Xin, Dongfang Mei was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered.
"Xiao Xin, it's so good that you've returned safe and sound!"
Dongfang Mei took Xiao Xin's hand and said, "During the time you were missing, we were all worried about you, fearing something might happen to you..."
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your concern!" Xiao Xin said.
Hearing the word "sister-in-law," Dongfang Mei was stunned again.
This was the first time Dongfang Mei had been called sister-in-law, and she couldn't adapt to it immediately.
"Sister-in-law, I'm a bit hungry. Can you make me something to eat!" Xiao Xin said.
"Sure!"
Dongfang Mei agreed immediately!
Before Jiang Yi could even speak, Dongfang Mei went to the kitchen.
Jiang Yi was somewhat helpless. The food Dongfang Mei made was utterly inedible.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Yi asked Xiao Xin.
Xiao Xin suddenly asking Dongfang Mei to cook made Jiang Yi feel a little strange.
"What? Are you feeling sorry for sister-in-law?" Xiao Xin said to Jiang Yi with a smile.
"I'm not feeling sorry, I just find it odd," Jiang Yi said with a frown.
"Don't worry, I'm just testing sister-in-law,"
Xiao Xin said, "Sister-in-law is not an ordinary person. She is the head of the Dongfang family and a very strong-willed woman."
"I'm worried that after you marry her, you'll be bullied by her, so I'm testing sister-in-law to see if she'll put on airs or act domineering..."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh.
So, Xiao Xin had this idea in mind.
Xiao Xin glanced in the direction of Qiu Fang, then grinned at Jiang Yi and said, "It seems my worries were unnecessary."
Afterward, Xiao Xin began to tell Jiang Yi about her kidnapping experience.
Not only was Xiao Xin not the least bit afraid, but she also found it thrilling and exciting, becoming more animated as she spoke.
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh. As expected, she was his own sister, with the same personality as him. No matter how great the danger, she could remain calm.
"The food is ready!"
Dongfang Mei walked out of the kitchen holding a bowl of noodles.
Jiang Yi looked and saw that it was instant noodles.
"Um, I'm not hungry anymore!" Xiao Xin said quickly.
Xiao Xin disliked noodles the most.
And the only dish Dongfang Mei could cook was noodles.
"Don't be polite, eat up! I made this myself. Do you think my cooking is not good?" Dongfang Mei said.
"I don't mean that!" Xiao Xin said quickly.
"Then hurry up and eat!" Dongfang Mei said.
Dongfang Mei wanted to show more care for Xiao Xin, as she was worried about Xiao Xin starving, and had no other intentions.
Xiao Xin had no choice but to force herself to eat.
After the first bite, Xiao Xin's face showed a pained expression.
To avoid embarrassing Dongfang Mei, Xiao Xin had to eat the entire bowl of noodles.
As soon as she finished, Xiao Xin ran back to her room.
Seeing this, Dongfang Mei's face was full of helplessness.
She could tell that it was because her noodles were unpalatable that Xiao Xin acted this way.
"I didn't do it on purpose..." Dongfang Mei said in explanation.
"I know you didn't do it on purpose. Your noodles are inherently unpalatable," Jiang Yi said with a laugh.
Hearing this, Dongfang Mei glared at Jiang Yi.
"Xiao Xin is back today, and our family is reunited. Shouldn't you cook something delicious for us to have a reunion dinner?" Dongfang Mei said.
"Okay!"
Jiang Yi agreed!
Xiao Xin was back today, and Jiang Yi was happy, planning to show off his culinary skills.
"I'll go buy some ingredients and cook something delicious for you all."
After saying that, Jiang Yi stood up from the sofa.
