Young Master Qiu scanned his surroundings, and seeing no one was paying attention to their side, he spoke to Jiang Yi with a solemn expression, "There's something I want to discuss with you. Come to my office."
After speaking, Young Master Qiu headed directly to his office.
Upon arriving at the office, Young Master Qiu immediately locked the door, fearful of being discovered.
"Young Master Qiu, what is it you need me for?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Hu Niang is missing!"
Young Master Qiu's face was filled with anxiety. "I suspect my father did this. Hurry and find a way to locate Hu Niang, or else she might be in mortal danger."
"Alright!"
Jiang Yi agreed!
In truth, Jiang Yi knew that Hu Niang's disappearance had nothing to do with Qiu Fang.
Qiu Fang was currently swamped dealing with Manager Yang's affairs and had no time to bother with Hu Niang. If Jiang Yi's guess was correct, Hu Niang must have sneaked away herself! Hu Niang possessed considerable skill, and slipping away unnoticed from under the noses of the Black Ghost and White Ghost was not difficult for her.
"Once we find Hu Niang, we must act immediately!" Young Master Qiu said with a grave expression. "My father is meticulous. Our alliance will not escape his notice. If we miss our chance, we will surely be put in a passive position. I don't want to fail."
Jiang Yi nodded.
Young Master Qiu seemed impatient. Although Jiang Yi had agreed to Young Master Qiu, he had no intention of acting immediately. His target wasn't Qiu Fang, but the ultimate boss behind Wan Hui Company. He had to find a way to lure him out first. For now, he would just placate Young Master Qiu.
"Young Master Qiu, there's a question I'd like to ask you!" Jiang Yi said.
"What question?" Young Master Qiu asked.
"Can you bring yourself to harm your father?" Jiang Yi asked.
"My goal is merely to remove my father from his position as boss. I have no intention of harming him," Young Master Qiu stated with a deep voice.
"Young Master Qiu, what we are doing is not child's play. It has reached a point where it's either he dies or you die. Any hesitation will lead to your eternal damnation!" Jiang Yi looked at Young Master Qiu and continued, "I'm not forcing you, but think carefully. If our plan is exposed, do you think your father will let you off?"
"No, he will kill me. He hates betrayal the most!" Young Master Qiu took a deep breath.
"Then do you want to survive?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Of course I want to survive. I haven't lived enough, and I don't want to die!" Young Master Qiu replied.
"That's good!"
Jiang Yi said, "From now on, you cannot hesitate, nor can you show any mercy. Otherwise, you will be the one who dies. Once you are dead, Hu Niang's life will also be in jeopardy! With you alive, you can protect Hu Niang."
"Mhm!"
Young Master Qiu nodded.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find Hu Niang," Jiang Yi promised.
"With your word, I am relieved!" Young Master Qiu took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to think about anything else right now. I just want to find Hu Niang and confirm her safety. Her safety is more important than anything else. For her, I am willing to risk my own life."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but smile inwardly. He hadn't expected Young Master Qiu to be such a devoted lover. It was clear that Young Master Qiu genuinely liked Hu Niang.
After bidding farewell to Young Master Qiu, Jiang Yi left the office.
Upon reaching the company's main entrance, Jiang Yi sent a message to Hu Niang. Soon after, Jiang Yi received a reply from Hu Niang. Hu Niang had arranged to meet Jiang Yi at the Royal Hotel. An hour later, Jiang Yi arrived at the Royal Hotel.
As soon as he entered the private room, Jiang Yi saw Hu Niang. She was leisurely sitting on a chair, sipping tea. Seeing Jiang Yi arrive, she personally poured him a cup of tea.
"Young Master Qiu is searching everywhere for you, and yet you've come here to relax!" Jiang Yi sat down on the chair opposite Hu Niang.
"The Black Ghost and White Ghost are watching too closely. With them around, there are many things I cannot do, and they might detect my intentions at any moment. That's why I had to leave for a while," Hu Niang explained.
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow. This woman was very smart. Fortunately, she wasn't his enemy, otherwise, she would be quite a troublesome opponent.
"What's happening with Wan Hui Company? When are you planning to make your move?" Hu Niang asked.
Jiang Yi did not conceal anything and told her about his alliance with Manager Yang. After hearing this, Hu Niang chuckled.
"Jiang Yi, I have to admit, your methods are brilliant. It seems I made the right choice in cooperating with you," Hu Niang said.
"It's not my methods that are brilliant, but rather that everyone at Wan Hui Company is too ambitious. I am merely using their ambition to achieve my own goals," Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
"Who doesn't have ambitions? Don't you have any? You say your only goal is revenge, but in my opinion, revenge is just one of your objectives!" Hu Niang sneered. "Your ambition is just too well-hidden for anyone to discover!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yi felt a little helpless. It seemed Hu Niang still didn't understand him, or she wouldn't have said such a thing. If he had any ambition, it was solely to destroy Wan Hui Company.
"I've come to find you because there's something I need your help with first!" Jiang Yi said.
"What is it?" Hu Niang asked.
"This matter is very simple for you!" Jiang Yi looked at Hu Niang and said, "The ultimate boss of Wan Hui Company will inevitably reveal himself before long. Keep a close watch on Wan Hui Company's every move. I want to know this boss's true identity. I have a feeling he's not simple and will be difficult to deal with!"
"No problem, it's on me!" Hu Niang agreed immediately without any hesitation. Hu Niang agreed so readily because her objective was the same as Jiang Yi's: to destroy Wan Hui Company. At the same time, Hu Niang was also curious about the boss's true identity.
"Is there anything else you need my help with? Just ask. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse. We are on the same boat now." Hu Niang said.
"I will handle other matters myself!" Jiang Yi replied. He then looked at Hu Niang again and said, "There's something I want to ask you now. I hope you can tell me the truth. Since we are on the same boat, we should trust each other!"
"Trust each other?" Hu Niang showed a strange expression on her face.
"Don't you trust me?" Jiang Yi asked.
