“Since you are so confident, let’s make a bet!” Stephen said.
“What kind of bet?” Jiang Yi asked with a smile.
“If you win, all my assets and companies belong to you. If you lose, all your assets and companies belong to me, and you also have to marry my daughter. What do you say?” Stephen asked with a chuckle, looking at Jiang Yi. Stephen was very confident.
“Mr. Stephen, this bet is too large. You’re betting your entire fortune. Besides, you and Jiang Yi are best friends. You don’t have to be so ruthless!” Li Tao couldn’t help but say.
“What do you know? Bets like this are more interesting!” Stephen said, then his gaze fell on Jiang Yi and he smiled, “Do you dare to bet with me? If not, then admit defeat! There are only three of us here, so admitting defeat isn’t shameful!” Stephen deliberately provoked Jiang Yi.
“Alright, I’ll bet with you!” Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
“Good, it’s a deal!” Stephen laughed heartily.
Then, Stephen turned his gaze to Li Tao and said, “You be the witness.”
“Okay!” Li Tao nodded busily.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to say goodbye and leave, he suddenly remembered something. He picked up a pen and paper from the table, wrote a prescription, and handed it to Smith. “Take this prescription, brew the medicine, and take it. It will help your injuries recover as soon as possible. In a week at most, you’ll be able to get out of bed and walk!”
“Why didn’t you give it to me sooner?” Stephen said speechlessly.
“I’ve been too busy these past few days and didn’t have time. I almost forgot I was a medical student,” Jiang Yi said awkwardly.
“Forget it, I won’t argue with you! Go take care of your own business!” Stephen said, then added, “Remember, go see President Martin at eight o’clock tomorrow morning. Don’t be late. President Martin is a very busy man. If you’re late, you’ll only be able to see him when he’s free!”
“Okay!” Jiang Yi nodded.
After saying goodbye to Stephen, Jiang Yi left Stephen’s castle.
To Jiang Yi’s surprise, as soon as he got into the car, he saw Alice driving back. Jiang Yi, startled, quickly told Li Tao to drive.
Seeing that Alice wasn’t catching up, Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. If Alice found out he had come to the castle again, she would definitely pester him to have dinner with her. Jiang Yi wanted to avoid Alice as much as possible right now.
“By the way, don’t tell anyone about my visit to Stephen’s castle, especially don’t let Dongfang Mei know. If she finds out I come here every day, she’ll start arguing with me again!” Jiang Yi said helplessly.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone!” Li Tao replied. Li Tao was surprised that Jiang Yi was so afraid of Dongfang Mei. He wanted to laugh but dared not.
By the time Jiang Yi returned to his own castle, it was already around eight in the evening. Dongfang Mei, Chen Kun, and Old Li were sitting in the living room, chatting. The topic was all about Jiang Yi starting his company.
“How’s the company startup going? Has it been approved?” Dongfang Mei asked Jiang Yi.
“I’ve been busy all day today, and nothing has been accomplished!” Jiang Yi sat down on the sofa and took a deep breath. “But don’t worry, I’ve found a way to solve this. I’ll go directly to the Chamber of Commerce to find President Martin tomorrow.”
“You know President Martin?” Dongfang Mei asked.
“No, I don’t! But this matter will definitely be handled. President Martin is friends with Stephen, and Stephen has already made a call,” Jiang Yi said.
Dongfang Mei frowned upon hearing this.
“Did you see Alice again?” Dongfang Mei asked.
“No,” Jiang Yi replied. “I didn’t go to Stephen’s castle today. I contacted Stephen by phone.”
Dongfang Mei didn’t believe him.
“Is that true?” Dongfang Mei looked at Li Tao.
“Yes!” Li Tao quickly said, “Mr. Jiang did contact Mr. Stephen by phone and did not go to Stephen’s castle. It’s impossible for him to have met Alice!” Hearing this, Dongfang Mei believed him! Jiang Yi actually didn’t want to lie to Dongfang Mei, but if he told her the truth, she would definitely start arguing with him again! Jiang Yi had no other choice.
Old Li’s expression was very displeased.
“Madam, although I’ve only known young master for a few days, I believe he wouldn’t do anything to betray you. I’m just a servant, but I want to say, please stop interrogating young master like a criminal in the future,” Old Li said.
“I’m not interrogating, I’m just asking casually!” Dongfang Mei quickly replied.
“Although I’m old, I’m not senile!” Old Li looked at Dongfang Mei and continued, “There should be mutual trust between husband and wife, not suspicion. Otherwise, such a marriage cannot last long!”
“I understand!” Dongfang Mei said. Old Li said all this for the sake of Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei. Old Li didn’t want to see Dongfang Mei suspecting Jiang Yi every day.
“How’s the bodyguard training going?” Jiang Yi asked Chen Kun, deliberately changing the subject.
“They are training very diligently. Their skills have undergone earth-shattering changes compared to before, but they still need to continue training. Otherwise, if they encounter top assassins, they won’t even have the ability to protect themselves!” Chen Kun said.
“That’s right, they need to continue training.” Jiang Yi then asked Chen Kun, “Are there any suspicious people around the castle?”
“There are no particularly suspicious people, but at noon today, a group of people of unknown identity rented a small farm not far from the castle, about one kilometer away. These people look like boxers!” Chen Kun said.
“This is the suburbs. Why would these boxers come to a place like this? They are probably up to something,” Jiang Yi said.
“I also think they are very suspicious!” Chen Kun said, “But after I spoke with the farm owner, I didn’t find anything suspicious. Perhaps they have hidden their identities well. They might be assassins from that assassin organization.”
“Find an opportunity to investigate them secretly, and you must remain vigilant. Whether these boxers are suspicious or not, we cannot relax in the slightest! After I dealt with those assassins last time, I estimate that I’ve completely angered this assassin organization. They will never give up and will definitely make new moves,” Jiang Yi said.
Chen Kun nodded with a grave expression.
After chatting for a while, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
Dongfang Mei closed her room door and said, “It seems I’ve gone too far. Even Old Li can’t stand it anymore.”
