"Ye Xiaofeng, you tell us!"
Jiang Yi looked at Ye Xiaofeng.
"Okay!"
Ye Xiaofeng nodded, mustered his courage, and said, "The vice president instructed me to frame Jiang Yi. This is all the vice president's scheme."
After speaking, Ye Xiaofeng recounted everything that had happened.
"Hmph!"
Changsun Xiong snorted coldly and glared at the vice president. "Vice President, what do you have to say for yourself now? You did such a shameless thing, causing chaos in our Capital Chamber of Commerce and ruining our reputation. You must bear this responsibility alone!"
The vice president showed disdain on his face.
"Someone, take the vice president for interrogation," Changsun Xiong commanded.
"Wait!"
The vice president spoke, his gaze falling on Ye Xiaofeng. He asked, "You just said I instructed you to frame Jiang Yi. Produce your evidence. If you can't produce evidence, then you are slandering me."
Ye Xiaofeng looked towards Jiang Yi.
He had no evidence at all. The only thing he could do was to point fingers at the vice president, but that was useless.
"It seems you can't produce evidence!"
The vice president sneered at Ye Xiaofeng. "You have quite the nerve. You just framed Jiang Yi, and now you're framing me. Tell me, who put you up to this?"
Ye Xiaofeng was speechless.
"I understand!"
The vice president scanned the crowd, then his gaze settled on Changsun Xiong. He said, "President, this matter is very clear. This is Jiang Yi's stratagem. His true intention is to frame me!"
"I am the real victim, and Jiang Yi has been acting all along. We have all been deceived by Jiang Yi!"
The vice president, being very cunning, directly attacked Jiang Yi.
Changsun Xiong was so angry his mouth twitched.
"Ye Xiaofeng, where is the evidence?" Changsun Xiong roared.
Just as Ye Xiaofeng was about to speak, Jiang Yi interjected, "Ye Xiaofeng has already given me the evidence. I will provide it to you another day, and then the truth will be revealed!"
"Why not present the evidence now?"
Changsun Xiong asked.
"Because this is not ordinary evidence. This evidence not only proves who framed me but is also closely related to some of the dirty dealings the vice president has been involved in before," Jiang Yi explained.
"If this evidence is revealed, it will be enough to shock the entire Capital Chamber of Commerce, and the chamber will surely fall into chaos. For the sake of the Capital Chamber of Commerce, I must first make preparations before I can present the evidence!"
Upon hearing that the evidence could expose the vice president's past wrongdoings, Changsun Xiong was overjoyed.
"In that case, you will give me the evidence tomorrow!" Changsun Xiong said.
Now, the vice president began to feel uneasy.
He worried that Jiang Yi was telling the truth and that the evidence Jiang Yi possessed could expose his past actions.
This would be a disaster for the vice president.
The vice president even suspected that Ye Xiaofeng's approach to him was all part of Jiang Yi's plan, aiming to use this opportunity to uncover his past wrongdoings.
The vice president was a very suspicious person, and Jiang Yi's words made him increasingly paranoid.
"Vice President, if you confess truthfully now, I might be lenient. Otherwise, once your dirty deeds are exposed, no one will be able to save you," Changsun Xiong said to the vice president.
Upon hearing this, the vice president let out a cold snort.
Although he felt a pang of guilt, he maintained an air of disdain on his face.
"If you want to frame me, you need to present evidence. I will be waiting for you tomorrow. If you fail to produce evidence tomorrow, I will not let this matter go!"
After speaking, the vice president, with his followers, swaggered away.
"Mr. Jiang, what evidence do you actually have in your possession?" Changsun Xiong asked Jiang Yi in a low voice.
"I don't have any evidence!"
Jiang Yi shrugged his shoulders.
Changsun Xiong was stunned by this response!
"But you just said you had evidence?" Changsun Xiong said helplessly.
"I did that intentionally!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly. "The vice president is a shrewd person. He knows that no plan is foolproof.
"By saying I have evidence, I aimed to bluff him. He might not believe it, but he will become suspicious. Once suspicion arises, he will act, and that's when we'll have an opportunity to catch him."
"Mr. Jiang, your plan is simply brilliant!"
Changsun Xiong grinned.
"This isn't exactly a brilliant plan!" Jiang Yi replied.
"Mr. Jiang, please don't be so modest. If it were me, I would have to let the vice president go," Changsun Xiong said.
At this point, everyone except Ye Xiaofeng and Xu Yun had left.
"Mr. Jiang, how should Ye Xiaofeng be dealt with? Should we kill him?" Changsun Xiong asked.
Hearing this, Ye Xiaofeng's face turned pale with fear.
"Let him go!"
Jiang Yi said, "I promised him just now that if he was willing to testify against the vice president, I would spare his life."
Changsun Xiong heard this and yelled at Ye Xiaofeng, "Get out of here quickly!"
Ye Xiaofeng dared not linger, fleeing in panic, fearing Jiang Yi might change his mind.
After Ye Xiaofeng left, Changsun Xiong asked Jiang Yi, "Mr. Jiang, we only have one day. How should I cooperate with you? If you need any manpower, you can use anyone under me as you wish."
"I don't need your people!"
Jiang Yi said, "I will handle this matter. You just wait for my good news."
"Alright!"
Changsun Xiong nodded.
Even with only one day left, Changsun Xiong believed Jiang Yi had the ability to catch the vice president in his schemes.
Jiang Yi turned to leave, and upon seeing Xu Yun standing behind Changsun Xiong, he hesitated for a moment. He then said to Changsun Xiong, "Your secretary, Xu Yun, might be able to help me with some small matters. How about lending her to me for a day?"
"Alright!"
Changsun Xiong readily agreed.
Jiang Yi said no more and left the Capital Chamber of Commerce with Xu Yun.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiaofeng returned to the Ye family villa in a daze, still reeling from the near-death experience.
His father and mother had just returned from shopping.
Seeing Ye Xiaofeng in such a state, his father frowned.
"What were you doing just now? Did you get into trouble again?" his father asked angrily.
His mother gave his father a glare.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Xiaofeng has changed his bad temper completely. He's much more sensible now. He's your son, can't you hope for him to achieve something?" his mother said, a little annoyed.
"Of course, I want him to be successful, but his bad temper will never change!"
His father snorted.
