"Wait!"
Huang Yiyi quickly called out to Jiang Yi, "Don't tell my father about this. As long as you promise to keep it a secret for me, I'll pay you whatever it takes."
Jiang Yi remained silent.
He wouldn't lie.
When treating illness and saving lives, one must be truthful.
"My father is forcing me to get married, so I had no choice but to use this method..." Huang Yiyi showed a helpless expression.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chairman Huang and Chen Kun walked in from outside the office.
"Master Jiang, can my daughter's illness be cured?" Chairman Huang asked Jiang Yi.
Huang Yiyi kept giving Jiang Yi meaningful glances.
Jiang Yi pretended not to see.
"Miss Huang is not ill," Jiang Yi stated.
"How is that possible?"
Chairman Huang looked skeptical. "Yiyi often faints. If she's not sick, why would this happen?"
"That's something Miss Huang should answer," Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
Hearing this, Chairman Huang looked at Huang Yiyi.
"Yiyi, have you been lying to me? Tell me the truth, and I won't blame you."
"Mhm!"
Seeing that she could no longer conceal it, Huang Yiyi confessed the truth.
Chairman Huang's face was filled with helplessness.
"You're being utterly reckless. Do you know how worried I was?" Chairman Huang was angry.
"Dad, you insisted on forcing me to marry those rich second-generation heirs, so I had to pretend to be sick."
Huang Yiyi linked her arm through Chairman Huang's and began to act spoiled.
"Dad, you love me the most. It's my fault, I shouldn't have lied to you... but I had no choice. I don't want to marry those playboys. I only want to marry someone I love."
"This is not up to you! While other things can be indulged to your will, marriage is a major affair, and you must listen to me," Chairman Huang said sternly.
No matter how much Huang Yiyi pleaded, it was no use.
"You go back first. I have something to discuss with Mr. Chen," Chairman Huang said.
As Huang Yiyi passed Jiang Yi, she whispered, "Just you wait..."
With that, Huang Yiyi left.
Jiang Yi paid it no mind.
"Master Jiang, thank you!" Chairman Huang said respectfully to Jiang Yi.
Chairman Huang's current demeanor was a complete reversal from before.
Following that, Chairman Huang and Chen Kun signed the acquisition contract.
Tomorrow, Tiansheng Group would be officially transferred.
The Chen family's acquisition of Tiansheng Group cost nearly over a billion.
To appease Jiang Yi and cure Old Master Chen's illness, the Chen family had gone to great lengths.
After leaving Tiansheng Group, Jiang Yi planned to visit his counselor.
"Master Jiang, I'll drive you."
Before Jiang Yi could refuse, Chen Kun quickly drove his car over.
The head of the Chen family had reminded Chen Kun many times that Jiang Yi was no ordinary person and that Chen Kun should interact more with Jiang Yi and build a good relationship with him, as it would bring countless benefits in the future.
Chen Kun was a smart person and knew what to do.
"Master Jiang, I don't plan on returning to Lishi City. I want to follow you," Chen Kun said, glancing at Jiang Yi from time to time while driving.
He wanted to see Jiang Yi's reaction.
"Alright! Once Tiansheng Group is established, I'll need someone to help me manage it." Jiang Yi agreed.
Seeing that Jiang Yi had agreed, Chen Kun was filled with excitement.
He had originally thought Jiang Yi would refuse.
"Thank you, Master Jiang. I'll work hard," Chen Kun said promptly.
Jiang Yi nodded and remained silent.
Once Tiansheng Group was established, he would need a trustworthy person to help manage it.
He had no interest in managing a company himself and needed a subordinate.
Chen Kun was more suitable than anyone else.
An hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of a residential complex.
The counselor lived in this complex.
Jiang Yi had been here once before.
This time, Jiang Yi intended to ask his counselor about his parents, hoping to find some clues.
However, the result disappointed Jiang Yi.
The counselor's family had moved away from here long ago.
Jiang Yi's calls went unanswered.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to leave, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the adjacent room, blocking both ends of the corridor.
A bald man was at the forefront.
"What's your relationship with Old Man Wang?"
The bald man stared at Jiang Yi and Chen Kun. "Old Man Wang's son owes us ten million. We're here to collect the money from Old Man Chen."
The "Old Man Chen" the bald man referred to was the counselor.
"Speak, where is Old Man Wang? If you don't tell me, I'll break your legs." The bald man glared at Jiang Yi and Chen Kun.
"How dare you!"
Chen Kun roared angrily. "Do you know who I am? Get lost immediately, or you'll lose your life."
As soon as he said this, the bald man burst into laughter.
The people behind the bald man also joined in the laughter.
Their laughter was filled with mockery.
"Go on, tell me who you think you are, so I can hear," the bald man said, laughing heartily.
Chen Kun was fuming, experiencing such humiliation for the first time.
"Listen carefully, I am Chen Kun, the young master of the Chen family in Lishi City. You blind fools, with the courage of bears and leopards, daring to mock me. I'll show you how to write the word 'death'." Chen Kun's face turned green with anger.
Chen Kun's words once again drew roars of laughter.
These were just thugs, not people from the business world. They knew nothing of the Chen family, nor of a young master from the Chen family.
"You just wait!"
Chen Kun took out his phone, preparing to call for backup.
"Your people are in Lishi City. They won't arrive in time," Jiang Yi said.
Chen Kun was stunned and had to put his phone away.
"Master Jiang, you go ahead. I'll handle them," Chen Kun said with a grave expression.
Chen Kun regretted not bringing anyone with him.
Jiang Yi remained silent, watching with amusement.
Chen Kun would be working for him in the future, so he needed to teach him some skills.
Before that, he wanted to assess Chen Kun's capabilities.
"Get them!"
The bald man shouted. "Don't kill them. I still need them to find Old Man Wang to get the money."
"Yes!"
The thugs responded and charged towards them.
Chen Kun had learned boxing before and quickly subdued two thugs as soon as they started fighting.
However, there were too many opponents, and Chen Kun soon couldn't cope. He took several hits, breaking out in a cold sweat from the pain.
Knowing he couldn't win, Chen Kun had to press on.
"Whoosh..."
A metal pipe was swung towards the back of Chen Kun's head.
Chen Kun had no way to dodge it.
With one blow, Chen Kun would have been half-dead.
Just as the pipe was about to hit Chen Kun's head, Jiang Yi raised his leg and kicked the thug away.
By the time Chen Kun recovered, Jiang Yi had already taken down four or five more thugs.
Chen Kun was dumbfounded!
He was completely stunned by Jiang Yi's skill.
Chen Kun had met many skilled individuals, but compared to Jiang Yi, they were nothing.
"Watch carefully. I'll teach you a set of combat techniques..." Jiang Yi said to Chen Kun.
Chen Kun snapped back to reality and nodded eagerly, his eyes wide open like copper bells, afraid of missing even a single move.
In less than half a minute, all the dozen or so thugs lay on the ground.
