"Fetch someone to execute Paul!"
"Furthermore, dispatch men to exile Paul's entire nine generations of kin. Leave no one behind!"
Prince Matthew instructed Grand Lord Barre.
"Yes!"
Grand Lord Barre acknowledged and had Paul taken away. He also dispatched trusted subordinates to exile Paul's nine generations of kin.
Paul was dragged away like a lifeless pig.
Jiang Yi felt no sympathy for Paul's current predicament, as he had given Paul numerous opportunities before, but Paul had remained unrepentant.
It could only be said that Paul had brought this upon himself.
"Thank you, Prince Matthew, for clearing my name!"
Jiang Yi expressed his gratitude.
"No thanks are needed. I am merely upholding justice," Prince Matthew replied with a slight smile.
Jiang Yi's thanks were not entirely genuine, for he knew very well that Prince Matthew was not truly helping him; he was merely playing a game of tactics.
Though Jiang Yi saw through it, he did not voice it, choosing to feign ignorance.
"I never imagined that the cuisine of Huaxia Country would be so delicious. I have truly experienced it today!" Prince Matthew remarked, looking at Jiang Yi.
"You are not only a divine physician with astonishing medical skills but also a master chef. Your abilities are indeed beyond the ordinary."
"Once you have completely cured my illness, I will bring you back to the imperial capital to serve me and work for me!"
"Thank you, Prince Matthew!" Jiang Yi replied.
However, Jiang Yi did not believe a word of this.
He knew that the first time he treated Prince Matthew, the prince had already harbored a desire to kill him.
Once he cured the prince, the first thing Prince Matthew would do would be to eliminate him.
In short, Jiang Yi would not believe any words or promises from Prince Matthew.
As Jiang Yi lowered his head to continue eating, he noticed that all the dishes on the table had been devoured by them.
This left Jiang Yi speechless.
They could truly eat a lot!
And judging by their satisfied expressions, even a few more dishes would not suffice.
"Jiang Yi, you mentioned before that you would develop a skin treatment for me. How is that progressing?" Prince Matthew asked impatiently.
"This medication is difficult to develop and requires a considerable amount of time!"
"Rest assured, I will definitely be able to develop this medication. Just await my good news!" Jiang Yi replied.
Upon hearing this, Prince Matthew frowned and fixed his sharp gaze on Jiang Yi.
"I am a man of little patience. How about this: I will give you one week."
"Within a week, you must develop the medication for my skin. Otherwise, do not blame me!"
With that said, Prince Matthew rose and walked directly out of the courtyard.
Everyone hurried to follow, leaving only Natasha and Yang Gang behind.
"Teacher, Prince Matthew has issued a direct death sentence. He is capable of anything. Can you develop that medicine within a week?" Natasha asked with some worry.
"Of course, I can. This is not a difficult task for me!" Jiang Yi smiled faintly.
Hearing this, Natasha's furrowed brow immediately relaxed.
Even Yang Gang's worries vanished.
A few minutes later, Grand Lord Barre, who had seen Prince Matthew off, returned to the courtyard.
"Jiang Yi, you are too daring. Do you know that you were playing with your own life just now? I was sweating cold sweat!" Grand Lord Barre said with a grave expression.
"My life and death have nothing to do with you. Why are you so scared?" Jiang Yi asked with a smile.
"To think you can still say such things! I have already cooperated with you. If Prince Matthew kills you, I will surely be implicated. Can you not see why I would be scared?" Grand Lord Barre frowned.
"It seems there is some truth to that," Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
"Enough. Stop pretending. You know very well that we are on the same boat now!" Grand Lord Barre said with displeasure.
"Don't worry, I'm not an idiot. I wouldn't play with my own life!" Jiang Yi replied with a smile.
Just as Grand Lord Barre was about to say more, he accidentally saw Yang Gang standing not far away.
This caused Grand Lord Barre's complexion to change instantly.
His cooperation with Jiang Yi was an absolute secret. Besides him and Jiang Yi, only Natasha knew about it.
The more people who knew about it, the more dangerous it would be.
"He overheard our conversation. Kill him!" Grand Lord Barre pointed at Yang Gang and said to Jiang Yi.
"Grand Lord Barre, why do you always want to kill people! Don't worry, his name is Yang Gang. He is trustworthy. He won't tell anyone about our dealings!" Jiang Yi said.
"You don't have to kill him, but you must promise me that you won't let anyone else know about our cooperation."
"I don't want to gamble with my own life and the lives of my entire family!" Grand Lord Barre stared at Jiang Yi.
"I understand," Jiang Yi shrugged.
"I have other matters to attend to. I'll be leaving now!" Grand Lord Barre said and turned to leave the courtyard.
Watching Grand Lord Barre's retreating figure, Jiang Yi smiled faintly.
Grand Lord Barre was being overly anxious. There was no need to worry about these matters.
As long as he did not completely cure Prince Matthew's illness, everyone would be safe.
"Beep beep..."
Jiang Yi's phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Shen Lu calling.
Shen Lu informed Jiang Yi to go to the hospital, stating that Dong Rui had been ambushed by assassins while on a business trip today.
Although Dong Rui was unharmed, she had sustained some injuries.
"Who did it?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Not sure. Those assassins are all dead!"
"They were likely hired killers sent by someone else. The specific details still need to be confirmed with Dong Rui!" Shen Lu said over the phone.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi hung up.
There was no need to guess. Besides the father-son duo of Jiang Wanli and Jiang Tian, no one else would target Dong Rui.
Since they couldn't do anything to him, they resorted to attacking those close to him.
He would definitely not let these two scoundrels get away with it.
"Natasha, you stay at the Little Lord's Mansion. I'm going out!" Jiang Yi said and then drove away from the Little Lord's Mansion towards the hospital.
An hour later, Jiang Yi found Dong Rui in a hospital ward.
"How are you?" Jiang Yi asked with concern.
"I'm fine, just a minor abrasion. Don't worry about me!" Dong Rui said with a smile.
"I had bodyguards from the castle secretly protecting you. By rights, no matter how skilled the assassins, they shouldn't have been able to get close to you..." Jiang Yi frowned.
"This is my fault. I was about to sign a contract today, and the other party requested that he didn't like seeing too many people around, so I asked the bodyguards not to follow me."
"What I didn't expect was that this was a trap. Fortunately, the bodyguards hadn't gone far, or my life might have been forfeit!" Dong Rui took a deep breath.
