"Special Envoy, I have an idea!"
"Tonight I will send someone to assassinate Prince Matthew again. We have already attempted an assassination earlier today, and Prince Matthew will surely feel safe and unguarded. This time, I am sixty percent confident of success!" Jiang Tian said with confidence.
"You have a point. In that case, you handle it as you see fit! I await news of Prince Matthew's demise!" Meisha looked at Jiang Tian.
"Yes!" Jiang Tian responded and then left the courtyard.
Now, only Jiang Yi and Meisha remained in the courtyard.
Jiang Yi thought Meisha would continue to question him about the previous matter. To Jiang Yi's surprise, Meisha did not pursue the topic further. Instead, she spoke to Jiang Yi, "Such a trivial matter shouldn't warrant suspicion towards you, but this is of utmost importance, and I cannot have untrustworthy people around me!"
Jiang Yi nodded.
"I must warn you. I selected you from so many royal guards because I value you. If you behave yourself and protect my safety, you will surely rise in status in the future. However, if you betray me and do anything that displeases me, you should know the consequences. I don't need to elaborate!" Meisha's sharp gaze fixed on Jiang Yi.
"Yes!" Jiang Yi responded.
Meisha said no more and turned back into her room.
Jiang Yi watched Meisha's retreating back and smiled slightly. Meisha was indeed not simple. On the surface, she didn't bother him, but she was already suspicious of him. She just lacked proof, which was why she didn't press the issue. To contend with Natasha, one would truly be at a disadvantage without wits.
Jiang Yi sat on a stool and sent a text message to Lord Barr notifying him of Jiang Tian's second assassination attempt on Prince Matthew. Jiang Yi did this because Lord Barr was already cooperating with him, and he wanted Lord Barr to earn more merit and gain Prince Matthew's trust. Moreover, Jiang Yi's objective was to deal with Jiang Tian, so he naturally wouldn't let Jiang Tian's schemes succeed. In short, Jiang Yi would find ways to thwart Jiang Tian's assassination attempts. As soon as Jiang Tian made a move, Jiang Yi would directly inform Lord Barr. Jiang Tian was no match for Jiang Yi.
Time passed until evening, and the night began to fall. Jiang Yi remained seated in the courtyard, waiting to see Jiang Tian's embarrassed state. Around nine o'clock that night, Jiang Tian indeed walked into the courtyard with a troubled expression. Seeing Jiang Yi sitting on the stone stool in the courtyard, he hurried over and asked Jiang Yi, "Where is the Special Envoy now? Is he resting?"
"The Special Envoy is still waiting for your good news!" Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
"I have no good news, only bad tidings!" Jiang Tian said gravely. "The assassination attempt failed again. Lord Barr seemed prepared for both attempts. I suspect there is a mole within my castle!"
"A mole?" Jiang Yi feigned confusion.
"Exactly!" Jiang Tian nodded. "Coincidences don't happen like this. If there wasn't a mole, Lord Barr wouldn't be so vigilant. Unless Lord Barr has foresight, which is impossible! Since that's the case, you should investigate thoroughly! Otherwise, something serious will happen!" Jiang Yi advised. "Think about it, if Prince Matthew finds out, he will directly act against your Jiang family. The royal family may not be able to protect you, especially since this is Simon Province, far from the capital!"
"Thank you for the reminder!" Jiang Tian's face showed gratitude.
"You're welcome. I'm just analyzing your situation for you!" Jiang Yi said.
"I understand. I must inform the Special Envoy immediately and ask for her decision. Until the mole is found, we cannot assassinate Prince Matthew again, or the attempts will fail every time. This is too great a loss for me!" Jiang Tian's face was filled with helplessness. "Just these two assassination attempts have cost me nearly fifty killers. If this continues, all my killers might perish within a week!"
"I think it's best not to tell the Special Envoy about the mole!" Jiang Yi said. "If the Special Envoy finds out, she will surely be very disappointed in you. Your Jiang family has operated in Simon Province for so many years, yet there is a mole. How can the Special Envoy trust your Jiang family in the future?"
Jiang Tian frowned upon hearing this. "Brother, why does what you say sound so strange to me?"
"How is it strange?"
"I'm doing this for your own good. Do you think I'm the mole?" Jiang Yi asked.
"No, I didn't mean that. You've misunderstood. You are the Special Envoy's personal bodyguard; how could you be a mole!" Jiang Tian quickly replied.
"It's good that you know!"
"I was offering you advice just now to help you! Moreover, you know how to show filial respect. In the capital, no one takes me seriously, only you are sensible!" Jiang Yi deliberately acted nonchalant. "I've said a lot of nonsense. If you don't appreciate it, then so be it. I don't care!"
Hearing this, Jiang Tian no longer suspected him and quickly apologized. "Brother, I was wrong. I didn't recognize your good intentions. I apologize here. If I have time in the future, I will personally book a banquet at the Royal Hotel to treat you well!"
"A banquet is not necessary; money is more practical!" Jiang Yi smiled faintly.
Jiang Tian immediately understood upon hearing this. He took out a bank card and handed it to Jiang Yi, saying, "Brother, there are five million in this card, specifically for you. From now on, we are brothers. I hope you will speak well of me to the Special Envoy."
"Alright! Since you are so generous, I will naturally speak well of you!" Jiang Yi accepted the card without any pretense.
Seeing that Jiang Yi had accepted the card, Jiang Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, please inform the Special Envoy!" Jiang Tian asked Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi nodded and walked to the door of the room. Just as Jiang Yi was about to knock, the door suddenly opened, and Meisha emerged from the room. Meisha glanced at Jiang Yi, then her gaze fell on Jiang Tian, and she asked, "How did things go? Is Prince Matthew dead?"
"Special Envoy, I failed!" Jiang Tian said helplessly. "All the killers I sent this time also perished. I did not succeed in killing Prince Matthew!"
"Failed again? You are truly useless. I thought you could help me kill Prince Matthew, but it seems I overestimated you!" Meisha said coldly.
