“It’s all my fault. If I had been a little more vigilant, I wouldn’t have been captured by Jack and Song Tong,” Dongfang Mei said, blaming herself.
“This isn’t your fault. Song Tong is too cunning. Even I probably would have fallen for it!” Jiang Yi said to comfort her.
“Stop trying to comfort me!”
Dongfang Mei took a deep breath.
“My brother is too stupid to fall for a woman like Song Tong. Once this is over, I want to see how he’ll explain this to my mother and the Dongfang family.”
Jiang Yi said nothing.
Song Tong was indeed extremely wicked.
Dongfang Mei glanced at Jiang Yi, then burst into laughter.
“What are you laughing at?” Jiang Yi couldn’t help but ask.
“Ever since I’ve known you, I’ve never seen you so disheveled, tied up like a mummy.” Dongfang Mei chuckled.
“I am indeed quite disheveled this time!”
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
Just then, the room door opened, and Song Tong walked in from outside.
Song Tong’s gaze swept over Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei, and she sneered, “You two have quite the good attitude! To be in such a state and still be able to laugh, I truly admire you.”
“Song Tong, stop spouting nonsense here!”
Dongfang Mei said with a face full of anger, “Even if you kill us, you’ll never marry into our Dongfang family. Our Dongfang family cannot tolerate a wicked woman like you…”
“I already have a plan. Anyone who opposes me, I’ll kill them!” Song Tong said in a low voice.
“You’re quite boastful!”
Dongfang Mei snorted coldly.
“I don’t want to waste my breath on you. I came to you to make a deal!”
Song Tong’s eyes fell on Dongfang Mei, and she said, “Immediately send a message to everyone in the Dongfang family, telling them that you are ceding the position of Dongfang family head to Dongfang Xun. If you do as I say, I’ll make you suffer a little less!”
“You’re dreaming!”
Dongfang Mei said angrily.
“Don’t refuse me so quickly.”
Song Tong finished speaking, then sneered and added, “If you don’t agree, I’ll kill Jiang Yi right now.”
“How dare you…” Dongfang Mei exclaimed.
“Jiang Yi is in my hands now. Killing him is not difficult at all. There’s nothing I wouldn’t dare to do. If you don’t believe me, just try it!”
Song Tong said, then took out a sharp dagger from her embrace.
“I’ll give you one last chance. Make your choice!” Song Tong said coldly.
Hearing this, Dongfang Mei took a deep breath and said, “I agree…”
For Jiang Yi’s sake, Dongfang Mei was willing to give up the position of Dongfang family head.
“Don’t pay attention to her!”
Jiang Yi spoke to stop her. “Song Tong is just trying to scare you. She wouldn’t dare to kill me. Jack is in charge here. If Jack wanted me dead, he would have done it already and wouldn’t have waited until now!”
Dongfang Mei was stunned upon hearing this.
“Then shut up!” Song Tong shouted at Jiang Yi.
“Your scheme will not succeed.”
Jiang Yi looked at Song Tong and smiled slightly, “You are very intelligent and very cunning, but it’s useless. These schemes of yours are meaningless in the face of absolute power…”
Killing intent appeared on Song Tong’s face.
Then, Song Tong walked step by step towards Jiang Yi.
“Jiang Yi, you’ve ruined my plans multiple times. Now that you’re in my hands, you dare to be so arrogant! Fine, you want to die? I’ll grant your wish!”
Jiang Yi sneered.
“Swish!”
Song Tong gripped the dagger in her hand and lunged towards Jiang Yi.
Just as she was about to stab Jiang Yi’s chest, Jiang Yi kicked out and sent the dagger flying from Song Tong’s hand.
Although Jiang Yi’s hands were tied, his legs were still able to move.
Song Tong, as a woman, could not kill Jiang Yi.
“I must kill you today!”
Song Tong said, then picked up the dagger from the ground and continued to stab at Jiang Yi.
At that moment, the room door opened, and Jack walked in from outside.
Seeing Song Tong about to kill Jiang Yi, he immediately rushed over, grabbed Song Tong’s arm, and snatched the dagger away.
“Slap!”
Jack raised his hand and slapped Song Tong.
“Song Tong, you daredevil!”
Jack roared angrily.
“I’ve told you many times, now is not the time to kill Jiang Yi, yet you dare to disobey me!”
“You’re such an idiot!”
Song Tong pointed at Jack and cursed, “Jiang Yi is not easy to deal with. If you don’t kill him now, you’ll regret it.”
“Hmph!”
Jack snorted coldly, “Jiang Yi is in my hands now, like meat on a cutting board. I can do whatever I want with him. Do you think he can escape?”
“I said that if I kill him now, it’ll be too easy for him. I want to torture him slowly, so he’ll wish he were dead, unable to live or die!”
“You are simply too foolish. Cooperating with you was the stupidest thing I’ve ever done. You’ll regret it sooner or later!” Song Tong said angrily.
“Who do you think you are, to boss me around?”
Jack stared at Song Tong and said in a deep voice, “If you weren’t of any use to me, I would have killed you long ago. You, woman, are too vicious! You’re like a venomous snake, even I am ashamed in comparison!”
“If I let you continue to stay here, it will definitely ruin my grand plans, but I can’t let you go now, so I have no choice but to inconvenience you for a while!”
After saying that, Jack had people bring ropes and tied Song Tong up.
“Let me go!” Song Tong shouted loudly.
Jack ignored Song Tong and said to the two mercenaries at the door, “Go find more people and keep a close eye on everyone in this room. If even one of them is missing, I won’t let you off!”
After saying that, Jack left the room.
The two mercenaries closed the room door and also left.
Song Tong was no longer the glamorous woman she was before, looking utterly disheveled.
“I never thought you’d end up like this!”
Dongfang Mei looked at Song Tong and said gloatingly, “You are indeed very clever, but often you are too clever for your own good. Jack won’t let me and Jiang Yi go, and he won’t let you go either…”
Song Tong’s expression was grim.
She had now calmed down and realized that her actions just now were too foolish!
She had originally wanted to force Dongfang Mei to cede the position of Dongfang family head to Dongfang Xun, but she ended up getting herself caught too!
“I admit I’ve failed, but it doesn’t matter. With you two as my backup, I’m content! One of you is the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family, and the other is the number one divine physician in the capital. I’m not at a loss!” Song Tong sneered.
“You’re thinking too much!”
Dongfang Mei smiled and said to Song Tong, “We won’t die so easily. Jiang Yi’s people will find this place soon and rescue us.”
“And you, you will surely die, because no one will save you.”
