Chapter 571 The Probe

The secretary remained silent.

The secretary hadn't expected it, but Jiang Yi's guess was correct: Qiu Fang had already harbored murderous intentions towards Jiang Yi.

"Do you think Jiang Yi deserves to die?" Qiu Fang suddenly asked.

The secretary was taken aback by the question.

"Boss, I cannot speak carelessly about such matters," the secretary replied.

"It's fine, I want you to speak."

Qiu Fang's gaze fell upon the secretary as he said, "I don't even fully trust my own son now. You are the only person around me I can still trust."

"Boss, Young Master Qiu is your biological son. He would never do anything to betray you. I believe Young Master Qiu is still trustworthy!" the secretary said.

"Hmph!"

Qiu Fang snorted coldly and spoke with anger, "I know everything he has done. He is a scoundrel! He actually colluded with outsiders against me!"

"I know his intentions very clearly. He wants to remove me from my position as boss and become the owner of Wan Hui Company himself. He's an idiot, thinking I don't know what he's been doing..."

"Boss, I'm sorry, I misspoke!" the secretary quickly said.

"It's not your fault!"

Qiu Fang took a deep breath.

"No one would have expected my own son to betray me. I won't kill him, I will give him a chance. If he remains unrepentant, then he has only himself to blame!"

Hearing this, a sense of fear rose in the secretary's heart.

She had not expected Qiu Fang to spare even his own son.

"You still haven't answered my question. Does Jiang Yi deserve to die, or not?" Qiu Fang asked, staring at the secretary.

The secretary knew that Qiu Fang was testing her.

"Jiang Yi dared to betray the boss and the company, he deserves to die!" the secretary replied.

The secretary could only answer this way, otherwise, Qiu Fang would become suspicious of her as well.

Qiu Fang heard what he wanted to hear and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "You are right, Jiang Yi indeed deserves to die. If it weren't for his ability to help me detoxify, I would have killed him long ago."

The secretary remained silent.

"By the way, you came to see me, was there something you needed?" Qiu Fang asked the secretary.

"I've found out some information related to Old Jack," the secretary said.

"What information?" Qiu Fang asked.

"I discovered that Old Jack has many accomplices. After hearing that Old Jack was being held at Wan Hui Company, all his accomplices are becoming restless and preparing to take action against you, Boss," the secretary said.

"Is the information reliable?" Qiu Fang asked.

"It is reliable!"

The secretary replied.

Qiu Fang's brow furrowed slightly.

"I knew Old Jack would definitely have a backup plan. Now things are starting to get troublesome. I want to kill Old Jack and his son, but if I kill them, the trouble for me will be considerable!"

Qiu Fang took a deep breath.

Qiu Fang was now undecided.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Qiu Fang asked the secretary.

"I do have a method, but I'm afraid to say it. I fear you might get angry, Boss," the secretary said.

"Go ahead and say it, I won't get angry."

Qiu Fang looked at the secretary and said.

The secretary took a deep breath and then began, "My method is actually very simple. We just need to release Old Jack, and then we can send people to secretly track him."

"Old Jack, in order to save his son, will definitely gather all his people. At that time, we can capture them all in one fell swoop!"

"This method of yours has significant problems!"

Qiu Fang said with a grave expression, "None of us knows what Old Jack is truly thinking. This old fellow is a cunning fox. If I let him go, he will definitely guess my intentions."

"At that time, not only will we fail to capture them all, but we will also be letting the tiger return to the mountain."

"This method does indeed have issues!" the secretary said.

The secretary dared not say too much, as saying more would undoubtedly arouse Qiu Fang's suspicion.

"I've thought of a good idea!"

A strange smile appeared on Qiu Fang's face as he said to the secretary, "I can send someone to secretly release Old Jack. This way, no matter how smart Old Jack is, he won't suspect that this was arranged by me."

"Without suspicion, he will go find his people and try to save his son. At that time, I will be able to capture them all in one fell swoop!"

Hearing this, the secretary was stunned.

Jiang Yi's objective was to release Old Jack.

And Qiu Fang had now come up with such a plan.

Allowing Jiang Yi to release Old Jack would, in turn, be of great help to Jiang Yi.

"Can this work?" the secretary asked deliberately.

"Of course it can!"

Qiu Fang smiled slightly, "Old Jack knows that Jiang Yi has always been at odds with me. Therefore, having Jiang Yi release Old Jack will not make Old Jack suspicious."

"That makes sense!" the secretary said.

"This matter is settled. You go find Jiang Yi and tell him that I said he should release Old Jack!" Qiu Fang said.

"Yes!"

The secretary acknowledged.

Afterward, the secretary walked out of the office.

"Wait!" Qiu Fang called out.

The secretary quickly stopped and turned back to look at Qiu Fang, "Boss, do you have any other instructions?"

"Also, tell Bai Sha and Hei Sha to have them secretly follow Old Jack," Qiu Fang said.

"Mm!"

The secretary nodded and then left the office.

Upon reaching the first-floor lobby, the secretary found Jiang Yi.

As soon as Jiang Yi saw the secretary's expression, he knew that the matter had been successful.

"How did it go?" Jiang Yi asked.

The secretary recounted the entire process, and after listening, Jiang Yi smiled slightly.

Qiu Fang was being too clever for his own good!

This had, instead, been a great help to him.

"I've handled your matter. When will you give me the remaining payment?" the secretary asked.

"You've helped me a great deal this time. I'll give it to you now!"

Jiang Yi said, then took out his phone and transferred the remaining five million to the secretary on the spot.

After receiving the money, the secretary smiled slightly, "Mr. Jiang, you are indeed a trustworthy person. Like Dongfang Mei, you are both trustworthy! If you ever need my help in the future, don't hesitate to ask."

The secretary had tasted the benefits.

Ten million was not a small sum.

And the secretary had earned so much money with little effort, just by speaking a few words to Qiu Fang.

"You are also a trustworthy person. I will definitely seek your help again in the future!" Jiang Yi said.

Afterward, Jiang Yi got up and went to the backyard.

The secretary followed him.

Seeing Jiang Yi return, Bai Sha and Hei Sha frowned.

"Manager Jiang, why are you back?"

Bai Sha's gaze fell upon Jiang Yi, and he frowned, saying, "We will not agree to what you just proposed. This matter is of great importance, and we don't want to lose our lives for nothing."

Seeing the secretary present, Bai Sha did not mention Old Jack's matter.

Bai Sha and Hei Sha did not know that the secretary had already been bought by Jiang Yi.
