"I can't believe President Martin is that kind of person, he's truly detestable!" Dongfang Mei frowned and said.
"President Martin is indeed detestable, but if he survives this, he will definitely cause trouble for Big Brother and Shen Lu. He is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and with just a simple excuse, he can shut down Big Brother's company!" Chen Kun said with a frown.
"Even if President Martin doesn't survive, once the relevant authorities find out you were involved, you'll be in big trouble!"
"I've lived in Eagle Country for most of my life, and I've seen this kind of thing many times. Even if you didn't kill President Martin, they'll treat you as an accomplice to those kidnappers!" Old Li said with a grave expression.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi's brows furrowed slightly.
This matter was indeed troublesome.
This was Eagle Country, their territory, and many things were beyond his control.
In their eyes, he was a Hua Xia national, inherently guilty. Sudan Novel Network
"Young Master, why don't you and Shen Lu return home? Leave the company matters to us. Don't worry, we'll do our best!" Old Li said.
Old Li was very worried about Jiang Yi now.
"I can't leave now! If I leave now, it will look like I'm fleeing from justice."
Jiang Yi said, "Besides, my staying in Eagle Country isn't just about starting a company. I need to find a way to eliminate that assassin organization. If I leave directly, my uncle won't be able to deal with me, and he will surely have this assassin organization target you."
Old Li felt very anxious upon hearing this.
However, Old Li didn't know what to do. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a good plan.
"Perhaps we should tell Mr. Stephen. Maybe he can help you!" Dongfang Mei said to Jiang Yi.
Dongfang Mei was also very worried about Jiang Yi now.
"Didn't you tell me not to go?" Jiang Yi said deliberately.
"I told you not to go find Alice, not to find Mr. Stephen. What time is it now, and you're still..." Dongfang Mei glared at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi grinned, "Alright, I'll go see Stephen tomorrow then."
"No, go now!"
Dongfang Mei's brows furrowed. "President Martin might have already had an accident. If we wait until tomorrow, it will be too late. I'll go with you!"
After speaking, Dongfang Mei grabbed Jiang Yi and they left the hall.
Seeing this, Shen Lu followed.
Shen Lu was worried that they might encounter members of the assassin organization on the way, and Jiang Yi wouldn't be able to protect Dongfang Mei alone.
After getting into the car, Jiang Yi started the engine and headed for Stephen's castle.
"Why did you come too?" Jiang Yi asked Shen Lu as he drove.
"I was worried!" Shen Lu said. "If we encounter those assassins on the way, you won't be able to concentrate on protecting Sister Dongfang..."
Jiang Yi smiled slightly upon hearing this.
Shen Lu was truly thoughtful.
"Shen Lu, thank you!" Dongfang Mei took Shen Lu's hand and said, "Your concern for me touches me greatly."
Just as Shen Lu was about to speak, Dongfang Mei's phone rang.
The call was from Liu Hong.
Ever since Dongfang Mei arrived in Eagle Country, Liu Hong called her almost every night.
There was no major issue with Liu Hong's calls; it was just family members chatting.
By the time they arrived at Stephen's castle, it was already midnight!
Stephen couldn't sleep and was watching television in the living room.
Seeing that Dongfang Mei had personally come, Stephen felt a little flustered.
This was because he had been instigating Alice to pursue Jiang Yi, and he was worried that Dongfang Mei had come to settle accounts with him.
"Mr. Stephen, I apologize for disturbing you so late, but we had to come because Jiang Yi has encountered some trouble!" Dongfang Mei said to Stephen.
When Stephen heard that Dongfang Mei wasn't here to settle accounts, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What kind of trouble?" Stephen asked.
"Big trouble!" Jiang Yi said, then recounted the matter of President Martin.
"You're coming to me so late, I thought it was something major." Stephen couldn't help but laugh.
"Can you help me?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Of course!" Stephen said proudly, "I am a top figure in Eagle Country, and my connections are beyond your imagination. Even if President Martin is killed, it doesn't matter. I can make a phone call to clarify things for you!"
Jiang Yi took a deep breath upon hearing this.
It seemed his worry was for nothing!
"Even if President Martin survives, it doesn't matter. If he dares to cause you trouble, I'll just kill him!" Stephen said.
"President Martin is too much of a scoundrel. How could you be friends with someone like that?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.
"You wouldn't understand this. Connections aren't determined by whether someone is good or bad." Stephen said, "Making friends is about expanding your network. Regardless of whether the person is good or bad, as long as they have value, even a heinous person can be called a friend."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi, Dongfang Mei, and Shen Lu were all stunned.
Stephen's perspective completely challenged their worldviews.
However, upon careful consideration, it did make a lot of sense.
"It is precisely because I understand this principle that I have countless connections and have been able to navigate the business world of Eagle Country for so many years without falling," Stephen grinned.
"You befriended me and my master, also for your own benefit, right?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Certainly not!" Stephen said, "You and I, and your master, are confidants. There are no vested interests between us. Our friendship is the purest kind."
Jiang Yi remained silent.
He was just speaking casually.
"It's very late now, we won't disturb you any further. We'll visit you another day," Jiang Yi said to Stephen.
"Mm!" Stephen nodded.
Dongfang Mei, however, had no intention of leaving.
"What else do you want to do? Let's go!" Jiang Yi said to Dongfang Mei.
"Don't be in a hurry, I have a question I want to ask Mr. Stephen." Dongfang Mei then looked at Stephen and asked, "Mr. Stephen, this morning, Miss Alice admitted her relationship with Jiang Yi in front of the media. What do you think about this matter?"
Dongfang Mei asked in an inquiring tone, without any blame.
"This is a matter for you young people. I don't understand it either." Stephen shrugged.
Stephen did not admit that the idea was his.
"Jiang Yi and I are married, and we are very loving. What Miss Alice did will not benefit her at all. She will not only damage her own reputation but also Jiang Yi's reputation. This is not good for anyone. Therefore, I hope Mr. Stephen can have a good talk with Miss Alice and ask her to stop causing trouble!" Dongfang Mei said to Stephen.
