Overlord Star

Chapter 704 An Old Acquaintance

The middle-aged man's face was filled with disdain.

Even though he had been stabbed, he still refused to yield. It was estimated that even if he were to be stabbed a few more times, he wouldn't speak.

Such a tough nut to crack would be difficult to deal with.

Just then, a black van drove into the woods.

Seeing this, Xu Yun immediately became vigilant.

Soon, the car door opened, and Master Gui stepped out of the vehicle.

Besides Master Gui, there were also several boxers.

When the middle-aged man saw Master Gui, his face was filled with excitement. He shouted at Master Gui, "Master Gui, save me quickly! I am the Vice President's brother-in-law. If you save me, the Vice President will surely reward you handsomely."

Upon hearing this, Master Gui looked towards the middle-aged man.

When Master Gui saw the middle-aged man's appearance, he was stunned on the spot!

It was obvious that Master Gui recognized this middle-aged man.

And from the middle-aged man's tone just now, it seemed they were old acquaintances.

"Jiang Yi, Master Gui himself has come to save me! You are dead this time!"

The middle-aged man yelled arrogantly at Jiang Yi.

The middle-aged man saw Master Gui as if he had seen a savior.

However, Master Gui did not pay attention to the middle-aged man.

"Mr. Jiang..."

Master Gui greeted Jiang Yi.

"En!"

After Jiang Yi responded, he asked Master Gui, "Master Gui, do you know this guy?"

"Of course, I know him!"

Master Gui said, "Back when I was running the underground boxing ring, this guy often paid me to help him deal with people in the business world. Later, with your help, I opened a boxing school and did business in a legitimate way, so I lost contact with him."

"And before that, did you know he was the Vice President of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce's brother-in-law?" Jiang Yi asked.

"No!"

Master Gui shook his head. "This guy is very smart. Whenever he asked for my help, he never talked about anything related to himself. I never imagined that this guy would actually be the Beijing Vice President's brother-in-law."

The middle-aged man was stunned.

He did not expect that Jiang Yi also knew Master Gui, and their relationship seemed quite good.

"Master Gui, I don't care what your relationship with Jiang Yi is. As long as you save me and then help me kill Jiang Yi, I will give you as much money as you want!" the middle-aged man said to Master Gui.

At this moment, the only thing that could move Master Gui was money.

"I am a legitimate businessman now. I will not do your business anymore. I have finally washed my hands of the past and dare not return to my old ways," Master Gui said indifferently.

"If that's the case, then why did you come here?" the middle-aged man asked angrily.

"Mr. Jiang asked me to come!"

Master Gui said with a smile to the middle-aged man, "Mr. Jiang just called me and said he encountered a tough nut and asked me to help out. I didn't expect that the 'tough nut' Mr. Jiang was talking about was actually you!"

"Didn't you just say you stopped doing this kind of dirty business?" the middle-aged man said.

"That's right, but since Mr. Jiang personally asked, I have to make an exception. I owe Mr. Jiang a great favor, and I must repay it!" Master Gui said.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face was filled with despair.

He knew very well that whatever he said now was useless, and Master Gui would not help him.

Moreover, he knew Master Gui's methods. Falling into Master Gui's hands would surely be a fate worse than death.

"Master Gui, I won't force you. If you find it difficult, then forget it. I'll handle it myself," Jiang Yi said.

"Mr. Jiang, it's not difficult for me!"

Master Gui smiled. "It's my duty to help you. There's nothing difficult about it."

"Alright, in that case, I'll hand this guy over to you. This time, you not only helped me but also helped President Changsun, because President Changsun and the Vice President are mortal enemies," Jiang Yi said.

"If that's the case, then I should help even more!" Master Gui smiled slightly.

"You must make him talk before eight tomorrow. Do you have confidence?" Jiang Yi asked Master Gui.

"Don't worry, before eight tomorrow, I will definitely make him honestly confess everything. I've encountered many tough nuts, but in the end, none of them could hold out for twenty-four hours against me," Master Gui said.

Afterward, Master Gui had the boxers knock out the middle-aged man and drag him into the van.

Master Gui bid farewell to Jiang Yi and then left the woods with the middle-aged man.

Seeing Master Gui's car drive away, Xu Yun couldn't help but ask Jiang Yi, "Is Master Gui trustworthy? This matter is of great importance, and there can be no accidents."

"Don't worry, Master Gui is someone I trust, and he is also a friend of President Changsun," Jiang Yi said.

Hearing this, Xu Yun was still somewhat uneasy.

Just then, Jiang Yi's phone rang.

It was Shi Jin calling.

Jiang Yi answered the call.

"Mr. Jiang, strange people have suddenly appeared around the villa. Based on my experience, they are all mercenaries, at least fifty of them. These guys are not here for good. Why don't we make a move!"

Shi Jin said on the phone.

Jiang Yi's lips curved upwards upon hearing this.

These people were likely the Vice President's men. He must have realized his brother-in-law had been kidnapped and guessed that he was behind it, hence hiring so many mercenaries to surround the villa.

Jiang Yi didn't take these mercenaries seriously at all.

With just a command from Jiang Yi, Shi Jin and the fifty-odd killers could resolve all these mercenaries.

Now, Jiang Yi was worried about Li Ping and Dongfang Mei.

The Vice President had despicable methods, and he would definitely target those around him.

"Leave some people at the villa, and you take the rest to Tiansheng Group to protect my mother and my sister," Jiang Yi instructed.

"Yes!"

Shi Jin responded on the phone.

Jiang Yi said nothing more and hung up the call.

"You should go back to the Beijing Chamber of Commerce first! Tell President Changsun to be prepared," Jiang Yi said.

"Okay!"

Xu Yun replied and then left.

Jiang Yi had brought Xu Yun along, originally intending to use her identity to investigate all of the Vice President's subordinates.

But now that they had captured the Vice President's brother-in-law, Xu Yun's help was no longer needed.

After Xu Yun left, Jiang Yi drove to the Royal Hotel.

Dongfang Mei was also in great danger now, and Jiang Yi intended to personally protect Dongfang Mei's safety.

An hour later, Jiang Yi arrived at the Royal Hotel.

As soon as he entered the lobby, he ran into Dongfang Teng.

Before Jiang Yi could ask anything, Dongfang Teng said to Jiang Yi with a worried expression, "Quickly go to the office and check on Dongfang Mei. Something has happened to her..."

Jiang Yi's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he hurried upstairs.

Upon reaching the door of Dongfang Mei's office, Jiang Yi rushed into the office.

What he saw made Jiang Yi freeze!
