The castle's bodyguards were patrolling nearby. They were all masters cultivated by Jiang Yi, each capable of fighting a hundred enemies. No matter how many assassins Jiang Wanli sent to cause trouble, they couldn't set foot inside the castle.
This castle, in Simon State, could be considered one of the safest.
As Jiang Yi entered the main hall, he saw Stephen sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee.
"You're finally back. I've been waiting for you for several hours!"
Stephen put down his coffee cup and spoke to Jiang Yi.
"A friend of mine came to the castle to find me and told me you saved his father's life today. He also said that a woman named Natasha was present at the time, and that she was the daughter of the great lord of Simon State."
"He didn't pay attention at the time, but later discovered the woman's identity. He was worried you might provoke her and get into big trouble, so he asked me to tell you."
Jiang Yi already knew Natasha's identity!
"You must not provoke Natasha casually. Don't let her harmless appearance fool you; her methods are terrifying. Anyone who provokes her ends up miserable!"
"And her father, his methods are a hundred times more terrifying than Natasha's. Even thinking about him makes me shiver!"
Stephen said with a grave expression.
Jiang Yi was taken aback, feeling that Natasha wasn't as terrifying as Stephen described.
"You must stay far away from Natasha in the future!"
Stephen reminded him again.
"It's already too late!"
Jiang Yi shrugged. "Natasha has been pestering me, wanting to learn Chinese medicine from me. I've already taken her as a student!"
This statement completely stunned Stephen!
After a long while, Stephen finally came to his senses.
"You're quite something, getting Natasha to be your student. With such a powerful backer now, no one in Simon State can touch you."
"If the drug regulatory agency in Simon State knew about this, they'd probably wet themselves with fear!"
"You don't need to participate in the competition anymore. In Simon State, the drug regulatory agency, no matter how capable, wouldn't dare to touch you!"
Stephen laughed heartily.
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Of course. Natasha's father is the great lord of Simon State. He calls all the shots in the entire state!"
"Although Natasha doesn't hold much power herself, her word can exile the head of the drug regulatory agency."
"The great lord dotes on his daughter immensely. Whatever Natasha asks for, the great lord will grant it!"
Stephen said with a smile.
"I don't want to rely on a woman!"
Jiang Yi said speechlessly.
"You don't know, in our Eagle Country, relying on a woman is a very respectable thing!"
Stephen said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi was speechless. The customs in Eagle Country were truly peculiar.
In Hua Xia Country, relying on a woman for sustenance was considered a source of shame by everyone.
But in Eagle Country, becoming a favored companion of a noblewoman was an honor.
"I still have to go to the competition!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly. "Only in such an arena can more people understand that Chinese medicine is not useless. It's no inferior to Western medicine, and in some aspects, Chinese medicine even surpasses Western medicine!"
"That makes sense!"
Stephen nodded and then said, "You must make good use of your teacher-student relationship with Natasha. If Jiang Wanli finds out about this, he won't dare to openly attack you."
Jiang Yi didn't say anything.
"Oh, right, Alice asked me to give this to you."
"She learned Chinese pastry making for two months for you. She worked until midnight yesterday to finish it. You can't throw it away, you must eat it all!"
Stephen pointed to the pastries on the table.
Jiang Yi was quite speechless.
"Can you stop causing me trouble in the future?"
"I'm already with Dongfang Mei, and I've become a father. Alice is still causing trouble like this. As her father, why aren't you advising her properly? You even helped her deliver the pastries!"
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
"In our Eagle Country, love is free. As long as you're willing, even if you're married with children, you can still date other women. It's no big deal!"
Stephen said righteously.
Jiang Yi was somewhat exasperated.
"Alright, I have to go back!"
After speaking, Stephen got up and left.
Jiang Yi's biggest fear now was Alice, fearing she would continue to pester him.
He had already told Alice before that he only saw her as a sister, but she didn't listen at all.
In the room, Dongfang Mei was leaning against the headboard, reading a magazine.
Seeing Jiang Yi return, Dongfang Mei put down her magazine and said to him, "Stephen brought many exquisite pastries. I heard they were made by Alice herself. Are they delicious?"
"I didn't eat them!"
Jiang Yi replied.
"Alice stayed up all night to make them, and you're not cherishing her at all!"
Dongfang Mei complained.
"Alright, stop playing this game with me. I can hear the strong jealousy in your tone."
Jiang Yi lay down beside her.
"I'm not jealous. I would never be jealous over you!"
Dongfang Mei deliberately pretended to be indifferent.
"You said it yourself. In that case, I'll go find Alice tomorrow and thank her properly!"
Jiang Yi said.
"You dare!"
Dongfang Mei snorted. "If you dare to get entangled with Alice, I'll take Xiao Yi and leave immediately, leaving you alone in Eagle Country..."
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh. "You say you're not jealous, but look at you just now. You wish I'd never see Alice again."
Actually, Jiang Yi wasn't interested in foreign girls; he was just teasing Dongfang Mei.
"Let's talk business. I plan to go to work at the company tomorrow. If Jiang Wanli couldn't kill you with assassins, he'll definitely change his plan and target Tiansheng Group. Tiansheng Group hasn't fully stabilized its footing yet, and absolutely no accidents can happen!"
Dongfang Mei said with a solemn expression.
"No, you just gave birth to Xiao Yi and need to recover properly!"
"For company matters, with Dong Rui and the others, nothing major will happen!"
Jiang Yi immediately objected.
Jiang Yi, being a medical practitioner, knew very well how weak Dongfang Mei's body was.
If she didn't rest and recover properly, she would likely develop chronic illnesses later.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Dongfang Mei showed a happy smile on her face.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Yi began to rest.
The next morning, after Jiang Yi woke up, he went to the front yard of the castle.
Everyone in the yard was busy. Gardeners were weeding and pruning branches, while bodyguards were practicing combat skills.
Although these bodyguards were already highly skilled, Jiang Yi still required them to train for several hours every day. Only through continuous training could their skills improve.
The safety of the company and the castle depended on them!
As the company continues to develop and grow, many branches would definitely be opened.
