An hour later, Jiang Yi arrived at the Capital Chamber of Commerce.
As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw many leaders of the Capital Chamber of Commerce standing there, discussing Jiang Yi's matters.
Upon seeing Jiang Yi arrive, everyone hurried towards him.
"Mr. Jiang, rest assured, we will do our best to help you."
"That's right, we won't let the Vice Chairman's scheme succeed."
...
Everyone spoke to Jiang Yi in a flurry of words.
Jiang Yi had met these people before at the banquet hosted by Changsun Xiong, so they were acquaintances.
"Everyone, thank you!" Jiang Yi said thankfully.
Afterward, Jiang Yi followed Xu Yun to Changsun Xiong's office.
Changsun Xiong was pacing his office with a worried expression. Upon seeing Jiang Yi, he told his secretary, "Go to the door and stand guard. No matter who comes, do not let them step into the office!"
"Yes!"
Xu Yun acknowledged, then turned and walked out, closing the office door.
Changsun Xiong poured Jiang Yi a cup of tea and then said, "The Vice Chairman and Ye Xiaofeng are too despicable to frame you with such means. Rest assured, as long as I, Changsun Xiong, am the Chairman, I will never let their scheme succeed."
"I'm not worried at all!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
"I know your abilities, Mr. Jiang, but this incident has had a very negative impact on your reputation. Just now, more than half of the media in the capital reported on Ye Xiaofeng being robbed. Although these media outlets did not directly state that you did it, their words pointed directly at you."
Changsun Xiong sighed and continued, "I sent someone to Tian Sheng Group just now and found that Tian Sheng Group has been greatly affected by your matter. Many consumers have stopped buying Tian Sheng Group's cosmetics and medicines."
"It's alright!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly. "Tian Sheng Group's cosmetics and medicines are the best in the entire Huaxia. If they don't buy them now, they will have to buy them in a few days. If they get sick, they can't possibly not take medicine."
"That's true!"
Changsun Xiong sat down on his chair.
In fact, Changsun Xiong was not worried about Jiang Yi, because with Jiang Yi's status, no one in the Huaxia business world dared to make a move against him.
"Mr. Jiang, my friend gave me some of his private collection of fine teas. Let's have some together today."
Changsun Xiong said, took out the tea leaves, and personally brewed them.
After the tea was brewed, Jiang Yi and Changsun Xiong began to drink.
This was indeed fine tea, which could not be bought even with money on the market.
Just then, a commotion erupted outside the office.
"It must be the Vice Chairman bringing people over. Let's ignore him for now and continue drinking tea," Changsun Xiong said with a smile.
Changsun Xiong was the Chairman of the Capital Chamber of Commerce, and all power within the Chamber was in his hands, so he didn't pay any attention to the Vice Chairman.
Moreover, with Jiang Yi as his backing, Changsun Xiong feared him even less.
After a full half hour, Changsun Xiong finally called out to Xu Yun, "Let them in!"
As soon as the words fell, the Vice Chairman, along with several leaders of the Capital Chamber of Commerce, and Ye Xiaofeng, walked in from outside.
Seeing Changsun Xiong drinking tea with Jiang Yi so leisurely, the Vice Chairman was enraged. He slammed the table and shouted, "Chairman Changsun, your secretary just said that you were handling important matters and that no one should be disturbed, making us wait outside!"
"But we waited for a full half hour, only to find out that your so-called important matter was drinking tea with this kid Jiang Yi. With such conduct, what right do you have to be Chairman?"
"Presumptuous! How dare you, a mere Vice Chairman, question me?"
Changsun Xiong glared at the Vice Chairman and said, "I was appointed Chairman by the leaders above. What right do you have to point fingers and interfere in my affairs? Do you want to rebel?"
Upon hearing this, the Vice Chairman was speechless.
According to the rules, he, as Vice Chairman, indeed had no right to question Changsun Xiong, the Chairman.
The Vice Chairman's duty was to obey the Chairman's orders, complete the tasks assigned by the Chairman, and assist the Chairman in handling the affairs of the Capital Chamber of Commerce.
The Vice Chairman held no real power.
"I can overlook the matter of you playing us for fools and making us wait outside for half an hour. However, regarding Jiang Yi's matter, you must give us an explanation."
"Jiang Yi robbed Ye Xiaofeng of over twenty million. I am responsible for investigating this matter, yet you brought Jiang Yi into your office for tea. You are clearly protecting Jiang Yi. Are you in cahoots?" the Vice Chairman said coldly.
The Vice Chairman directly framed Changsun Xiong.
Changsun Xiong was not flustered at all.
"Vice Chairman, if you say I am in cahoots with Jiang Yi, then present me with evidence!"
Changsun Xiong fixed his sharp gaze on the Vice Chairman.
The Vice Chairman was left without words.
"You want to interrogate Jiang Yi? Fine, interrogate him in my office. I'd like to see what tricks you can pull!"
Changsun Xiong said to the Vice Chairman, then turned his gaze to the secretary and said, "Go and find all the leaders of the Capital Chamber of Commerce who are directors or above."
"Yes!"
Xu Yun acknowledged and then went to find people.
The Vice Chairman only had a dozen or so confidantes. All the other senior leaders of the Capital Chamber of Commerce were Changsun Xiong's people.
In terms of numbers alone, the Vice Chairman was at a disadvantage.
However, the Vice Chairman showed no fear and directly asked Jiang Yi, "Confess honestly, where did you hide the more than twenty million you robbed from Ye Xiaofeng!"
This question was a trap.
Jiang Yi was not a fool and would not fall into the Vice Chairman's trap.
"First, produce evidence to prove that I robbed Ye Xiaofeng. If you can't produce evidence, then you are slandering me! A dignified Vice Chairman bribing someone to slander others, if this gets out, let's see how you can continue to be Vice Chairman," Jiang Yi sneered.
"Ye Xiaofeng is the evidence!"
The Vice Chairman said, "I brought Ye Xiaofeng here precisely to identify you."
"Is that so?"
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow, his gaze fell on Ye Xiaofeng, and he asked, "Did you personally see me rob you of twenty million?"
Ye Xiaofeng became flustered!
"No... No, that's right!"
Ye Xiaofeng said quickly.
"Then let me ask you, when did I rob you of your money?" Jiang Yi asked.
"This morning!"
Ye Xiaofeng replied.
"Nonsense! I was at home all morning. Many people in my household can testify for me. From the moment I started asking you questions, you became nervous and stammered, unable to speak clearly. You must have something to hide!" Jiang Yi said.
Ye Xiaofeng didn't know how to respond to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi understood Ye Xiaofeng too well and knew how to deal with him.
"Let me ask you, you say I robbed you of your money. Then tell me, what clothes was I wearing when I robbed you, and what shoes?" Jiang Yi asked.
"You were wearing a black jacket and a pair of very ordinary canvas shoes."
Ye Xiaofeng described Jiang Yi's current attire.
