"The matter isn't over yet."
Dongfang Mei wore a playful smile and asked the hotel manager, "Is the projector in the hotel lobby still working?"
"Yes, it is!" the hotel manager replied.
"Good. Please have them quickly edit out the surveillance footage of Shen Lu making a move, just keep the earlier part," Dongfang Mei instructed.
"Miss, what's the use of this video?" the hotel manager asked.
"I want everyone to know what kind of person Changsun Hao is."
Dongfang Mei smiled faintly, "Play this video on the big screen in the lobby later. Everyone attending the reception today will see it. What do you think will happen then?"
The hotel manager paused for a moment, then quickly understood.
"If they see this video, they'll be furious," the hotel manager said.
"It's more than just anger."
Dongfang Mei sneered, "Jiang Yi is my husband, and Shen Lu is my best friend. If Changsun Hao dares to cause trouble for them, I will make him pay the price."
"But won't this affect Mr. Jiang's relationship with Chairman Changsun? Changsun Hao is Changsun Xiong's biological son. If this matter escalates, I'm afraid..." the hotel manager said.
"It's fine! If Jiang Yi can't deal with Changsun Xiong, then I will."
"Besides, with the despicable things Changsun Hao has done, how can Changsun Xiong have the nerve to question Jiang Yi? He'll probably have to apologize to Jiang Yi himself," Dongfang Mei stated.
"Alright, I'll get it done!"
The hotel manager turned and left the surveillance room.
Meanwhile, Shen Lu had already returned to the lobby.
"How did it go?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I taught Changsun Hao a lesson he won't forget."
After speaking, Shen Lu recounted the events.
"You were too lenient. You should have crippled him and sent him to the hospital to lie there for months," Jiang Yi said.
"That would have been too much!"
Shen Lu replied, "Although Changsun Hao is detestable, he is Changsun Xiong's son. If you had crippled him, it would have caused trouble with Changsun Xiong."
"You need Changsun Xiong's help to deal with your uncle and Ye Yanran. Without his assistance, we'll be at a disadvantage."
Shen Lu had too many concerns.
She didn't want her momentary anger to ruin Jiang Yi's major plans.
"Even though you were a killer, you are the person I trust the most," Jiang Yi looked at Shen Lu.
"Thank you for trusting me."
Shen Lu smiled.
Jiang Yi's words made Shen Lu very happy.
Just then, Changsun Hao stormed into the lobby.
The people in the lobby were drinking and chatting. Seeing Changsun Hao's bruised and battered face and his limping gait, all eyes turned to him.
Many began to whisper.
"What happened to Young Master Changsun?"
"Who had the guts to beat up Young Master Changsun? Are they tired of living?"
...
Everyone looked puzzled.
They all knew that Changsun Hao was the biological son of Changsun Xiong, the chairman of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.
The crown prince of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.
To lay hands on Changsun Hao was like poking a tiger's nest.
"Young Master Changsun, what happened? Tell us who did it, and we'll get revenge for you," a portly businessman said to Changsun Hao.
Others chimed in.
This was a good opportunity for them to curry favor with Changsun Xiong.
Changsun Hao ignored them and walked directly towards Changsun Xiong.
"What happened to you?" Changsun Xiong asked, frowning.
"I was framed and beaten up. You must get revenge for me," Changsun Hao said, full of anger.
"Was it Mr. Jiang who did it?"
Changsun Xiong asked, his brow furrowed.
"No!"
Changsun Hao replied, "But it has something to do with him..."
"Go back. Let's drop this matter..." Changsun Xiong said indifferently.
Upon hearing that Jiang Yi was involved, Changsun Xiong didn't want to interfere.
Even if he wanted to, he couldn't. He didn't have the courage to confront Jiang Yi.
Besides, Changsun Xiong knew Changsun Hao's character very well.
Without even guessing, he knew Changsun Hao must have provoked Jiang Yi again and ended up getting taught a lesson.
"I'm your son! I've been beaten like this, and you won't do anything?" Changsun Hao was furious.
"This is a matter for you young people. It has nothing to do with me," Changsun Xiong said.
"You said it yourself! This is between us youngsters and has nothing to do with you. If I teach the person who beat me a lesson later, you can't interfere."
Changsun Hao glanced at everyone and said, "You all heard him. My father won't interfere in matters between us youngsters."
Everyone remained silent.
"Fine, I won't interfere!"
Changsun Xiong took a deep breath. "I can't control you. If you suffer any losses, it has nothing to do with me."
Changsun Xiong no longer wanted to deal with Changsun Hao!
Then, Changsun Xiong walked towards Jiang Yi and said, "Mr. Jiang, I really can't control this unfilial son of mine. You can deal with him however you want. Even if you kill him, I won't intervene. However, I hope this incident won't affect our friendship."
Jiang Yi nodded.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm tired. I'm going upstairs to rest!"
Changsun Xiong said and headed upstairs!
Seeing Changsun Xiong leave, Shen Lu chuckled, "Chairman Changsun is truly heartless. He doesn't even care about his own son's well-being. What kind of father is that?"
"You're mistaken!"
Jiang Yi smiled faintly. "Changsun Xiong won't abandon his son. He just wants to use me to teach Changsun Hao a lesson, to help Changsun Hao change his bad temper and become a new person."
Hearing this, Shen Lu was stunned!
"So, we don't need to hold back. We can deal with Changsun Hao as we please, as long as we don't kill him," Jiang Yi's lips curved into a smile.
Shen Lu smiled and said nothing.
Changsun Hao, seeing his father Changsun Xiong go upstairs without intervening, showed a smug expression.
In Changsun Hao's opinion, as long as Changsun Xiong didn't interfere, it would be easy for him to deal with Jiang Yi.
The socialites in the lobby felt that this was their chance to please Changsun Hao and Changsun Xiong. If they helped Changsun Hao deal with Jiang Yi later, they would gain favor with Changsun Xiong and Changsun Hao.
They didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"My father won't help you anymore. Let's see how you fight me now!"
Changsun Hao walked towards Jiang Yi with a smug look.
Jiang Yi paid no attention to Changsun Hao.
Just then, a figure walked in from outside the lobby.
It was Ye Yanran.
