Chapter 724 The Truth

"I've come to see your castle, but I also want to take you somewhere nice!" Stephen said.

"Where?" Jiang Yi couldn't help but ask.

"I can't tell you yet. You'll know when we get there!" Stephen replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi, along with Dongfang Mei, got into Stephen's car.

Stephen's car was a stretched Lincoln, incredibly luxurious inside.

Furthermore, four cars followed behind, carrying Stephen's bodyguards.

Stephen always brought these bodyguards with him wherever he went.

Having so many bodyguards not only added to his prestige but also ensured his safety.

Stephen was a major entrepreneur in the Eagle Country, with assets worth hundreds of billions. Without bodyguards, he could easily fall victim to trouble. Kidnappings were common occurrences in the Eagle Country.

After leaving the castle, the car drove towards the city center.

Inside the car, Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei enjoyed their time, sipping red wine and chatting.

"Jiang Yi, you now have your own grand castle and a significant amount of land in the Eagle Country. What are your plans for the next step?" Stephen asked.

"I've decided to start a company in the Eagle Country and also cultivate some medicinal herbs," Jiang Yi replied.

"You should have opened a company in the Eagle Country long ago. Only by doing so can you establish your influence there and deal with your uncle." Stephen took a deep breath.

Jiang Yi nodded.

"Jiang Yi, regarding your master, I think it's time I told you about him," Stephen said.

"My master?" Jiang Yi frowned.

"That's right." Stephen took a deep breath and continued, "After your master's incident, he asked me not to tell you who the culprit was. He worried that you wouldn't be able to handle it and would lose your life in vain. Now that you have your own influence, I believe it's time to tell you the truth!"

"Who killed my master?" Jiang Yi asked urgently.

"Your uncle!" Stephen replied.

Jiang Yi was momentarily stunned by this revelation.

"The reason your uncle killed your master was that he feared your master would help you deal with him. To eliminate any future trouble, he secretly dispatched assassins to kill your master," Stephen explained.

Following this, Stephen recounted the details of how Jiang Yi's master was murdered to him. Stephen's account was very thorough.

Jiang Yi's eyes filled with anger and a killing intent. He never expected his uncle to be so malicious, responsible for the deaths of both his father and his master. This realization filled Jiang Yi with self-reproach. If it hadn't been for him, his master might still be alive today.

"Your master and I were the best of friends. He didn't want me to get involved, so he made me swear a solemn oath on his deathbed, forbidding me from avenging him. Even so, I secretly sent many people to assassinate your uncle."

"But your uncle is too cunning. Every assassination attempt failed! Not a single one was successful. However, I haven't given up. I've been looking for top assassins, hoping to avenge your master," Stephen said.

"Let me handle the revenge," Jiang Yi stated.

"Jiang Yi, you can't be impulsive. If you go to your uncle now, you won't be able to kill him and will only put yourself in danger," Stephen quickly advised.

"I know," Jiang Yi replied. "I won't let my uncle die so easily. He not only killed my father but also my master. I will dismantle his pride and joy of a commercial empire step by step, and let him experience despair."

Hearing this, Stephen breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right. What you need to do now is to continuously expand your influence in the Eagle Country. Only by possessing sufficient influence can you gradually deal with your uncle," Stephen said.

Jiang Yi's emotions slowly subsided.

As they spoke, the car had arrived at the city center. After driving through a few streets, the car stopped in front of a villa with Chinese-style architecture.

"What is this place?" Jiang Yi asked.

"This is your master's villa. After you returned to China, your master lived in this place. He wrote down all his life's learning in a book, and this book is hidden in the villa."

"On his deathbed, he asked me to give this book to you. I intended to bring it to you the last time I went to China, but I forgot," Stephen said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but walk into the villa. The villa was meticulously clean. Although his master was no longer there, Jiang Yi could still feel his master's traces and aura in this courtyard.

Stephen asked his bodyguards to wait in the living room and then walked to the wall, taking down a landscape painting. A secret compartment appeared. Stephen entered the password, and a section of the wall moved aside, revealing a hidden room. The room was filled with many books on medicine. These were all precious rare editions.

Stephen opened an exquisite box, took out a book, and handed it to Jiang Yi, saying, "This is the book your master asked me to give you."

Jiang Yi opened the book and began to read it carefully. To his surprise, he realized he had already learned all the medical techniques recorded in it.

"Have you learned all the medical techniques here?" Dongfang Mei asked.

"Yes," Jiang Yi nodded.

"Since you've learned them all, why did your master ask Stephen to give you this book? And he specifically instructed him on his deathbed," Dongfang Mei inquired. Not only Dongfang Mei, but even Stephen was puzzled.

"Could there be some secret hidden in this book?" Dongfang Mei mused.

"There is no secret in this book!" Jiang Yi took a deep breath and said, "My master's greatest wish in his life was for everyone who studied Chinese medicine to learn his skills. He gave me this book because he wanted me to promote his medical knowledge. Western medicine has always looked down on Chinese medicine, which is why he did this!"

"Your master was truly thoughtful," Stephen sighed.

"If you make this book public and all Chinese medicine practitioners learn his skills, you won't be the top divine physician in the capital anymore. Then your livelihood will be gone!" Dongfang Mei said with a smile.

"That's not necessarily true!" Jiang Yi said confidently, "Not everyone can learn my master's medical skills. Besides, what use is just this book? Even if everyone learns my master's skills, my medical expertise is far superior to theirs. I am very confident in my medical skills, and I'm not being arrogant; I'm stating the truth."
