"No, you have to listen to me this time." Dongfang Mei's expression was grave.
"I'll tell you a secret!"
Jiang Yi scanned his surroundings and, seeing no one paying attention to them, spoke to Dongfang Mei in a low voice, "Do you know who the Red Fox is?" Su Dan Novel Network
"Who is it?" Dongfang Mei couldn't help but ask.
"It's Shen Lu!" Jiang Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Mei was stunned!
This matter was entirely beyond Dongfang Mei's expectations.
After a long while, Dongfang Mei finally came back to her senses.
"I never imagined that the notorious Red Fox would be Shen Lu. I know your relationship with Shen Lu, but Shen Lu may not be trustworthy. What if she betrays you? Won't you be in even greater danger?"
"She won't betray me, I'm sure of it!" Jiang Yi said.
Dongfang Mei hesitated for a moment and then said nothing more.
She knew Jiang Yi's capabilities, and the fact that Jiang Yi dared to say such a thing proved that Shen Lu would not betray him.
"I was so scared just now. I heard something big happened and thought you were in trouble, so I rushed to the company!"
Dongfang Mei looked at Jiang Yi and said, "In the future, can you discuss things with me? So I don't have to worry..."
"Don't worry about me, I won't be in any danger," Jiang Yi said.
Seeing Dongfang Mei's concern for him, Jiang Yi felt a little touched.
"I'll treat you to a meal!" Jiang Yi said.
This made Dongfang Mei freeze for a moment.
This was the first time Jiang Yi had主动 invited her to a meal.
"What? You don't want to? Then forget it, I'm leaving!" Jiang Yi said intentionally.
Hearing this, Dongfang Mei quickly got into the passenger seat of Jiang Yi's car.
"Of course I want to, but I don't want to eat out. I want to eat what you cook yourself."
"No problem!"
Jiang Yi started the car and drove home.
As they were nearing home, he suddenly saw a familiar figure surrounded by a group of people.
Jiang Yi was very familiar with this person; it was Liu Yuan!
Dongfang Mei's uncle.
Jiang Yi stopped the car, intending to go and take a look.
"Why are you stopping?" Dongfang Mei asked in confusion.
"Don't you see?"
Jiang Yi asked.
"See what?" Dongfang Mei was even more confused.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi smiled slightly. It seemed Dongfang Mei really hadn't seen Liu Yuan.
"It's nothing!"
Jiang Yi changed the subject, "How about this? You go buy the ingredients first, and I'll go find my sister and ask her to join us for dinner! You can drive this car, and I'll take a Didi."
"Okay!"
Dongfang Mei agreed and drove off to buy the ingredients.
After the car had driven away, Jiang Yi walked towards Liu Yuan's direction, but he didn't get too close, just stood by to watch the show.
The leader was a fat man with a very arrogant attitude. He pointed at Liu Yuan and directly scolded him, "You've got the guts to bid at our auction and then refuse to pay! Our boss said you must pay the ten million without a single cent missing, or we'll break your legs!"
"I will pay the money, I just didn't bring it with me today!"
Liu Yuan said, "Do you know who I am? I'm the elder brother of Liu Hong, the head of the Dongfang family. Isn't ten million a small amount to me..."
"Do you think we're all fools? With your demeanor, you dare to say you're the elder brother of the Dongfang family head? Do you think I'll believe you?" the fat man said angrily.
Liu Yuan's face looked very unpleasant.
Liu Yuan wasn't actually penniless, but he was using an overseas card, which couldn't be used at the auction house.
Liu Yuan had gone out today to exchange money at the bank. Halfway there, he spotted an antique at the auction house and couldn't resist. He bought it for ten million, but when he tried to pay with his card, it didn't go through.
"Give me ten minutes. I'll go to the bank to exchange the money and bring it to you immediately. Don't worry, not a single cent will be missing. I guarantee it with my integrity!" Liu Yuan said.
"You're still trying to trick us?"
The fat man was furious.
"I'm not tricking you!" Liu Yuan argued.
"Shut up!"
The fat man roared at Liu Yuan and then turned to his subordinates, "Hit him! Beat him to death..."
"Yes!"
The fat man's subordinates responded and then surrounded Liu Yuan, raining blows upon him.
These people were hitting hard, showing no mercy. In a moment, Liu Yuan was beaten until he was bruised and swollen.
Jiang Yi frowned!
If they continued to beat him, Liu Yuan would surely be beaten to death.
He didn't expect Liu Yuan to be so unlucky.
"Stop!"
Jiang Yi shouted.
As soon as he spoke, everyone's gaze turned to Jiang Yi.
Liu Yuan thought a savior had arrived, but upon seeing it was Jiang Yi, he was stunned!
This reminded Liu Yuan of the last incident.
He knew that Jiang Yi wasn't here to help him, but to watch the show.
"Kid, you've got guts! How dare you interfere in our business!"
The fat man looked Jiang Yi up and down and said sternly, "I'll give you a chance. Get lost immediately, or I'll kill you!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"What are you smiling about?" the fat man asked.
"I hate it most when people threaten me, but I'm in a good mood today and don't want to bother with you!"
After speaking, Jiang Yi continued, "Let me talk to this uncle! I can help you get the money."
Hearing this, the fat man frowned slightly.
"I'm helping you!"
Jiang Yi said, "Think about it, your goal is just to get the money. If you beat him to death, you won't get a cent and you'll get into a lot of trouble. Wouldn't that be a case of losing more than you gain?"
"That makes sense. Alright! Then let you talk to him!" the fat man agreed.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi walked towards Liu Yuan.
"You should just give them the money! If you lose your life, money is useless," Jiang Yi said to Liu Yuan.
"Get lost!"
Liu Yuan cursed angrily, "Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. You're here to laugh at me. I'm not an idiot."
Jiang Yi grinned.
"That's right, I do want to laugh at you!"
Jiang Yi smiled slightly, "But the joke is over, and I plan to help you. Regardless, you are Dongfang Mei's uncle, and also my elder. I can't just stand by and watch you get beaten to death!"
"Do you really want to help me?" Liu Yuan asked.
"Yes!"
Jiang Yi nodded.
Seeing this, Liu Yuan's face showed a look of disbelief.
"How about this? I'll lend you these ten million, and you can pay me back in a few days. But when you pay back, you'll have to repay the principal and interest, plus the money you owe me from last time, you'll have to give me twenty million!" Jiang Yi said.
