On the day of the car accident, Kang Dawei was on his way to Jiangcheng for an interview.
On the road, he saw a car overturned. He walked over.
Just as he was about to call the police, he was struck on the back of the head and lost consciousness.
When Kang Dawei woke up, the car was engulfed in flames.
"That car accident was really strange. I remember before I fainted, the car wasn't on fire. But when I woke up, it was burning. I suspect it was arson!" Kang Dawei said.
"Who hit you? Did you get a good look at them?" Jiang Yi asked.
"The guy attacked me from behind. I was distracted by the accident and didn't notice anyone behind me. I don't even know if the person was a man or a woman," Kang Dawei replied.
"What was the situation inside the car before it caught fire?" Jiang Yi continued.
"I don't remember!" Kang Dawei said.
Jiang Yi was disappointed!
He thought he might find some clues, but it turned out to be a wasted trip with no leads.
"Master Jiang, please accept my condolences," Kang Dawei said comfortingly.
"Thank you!"
Jiang Yi replied.
He hadn't expected Kang Dawei to be so decent, unlike the rumors that he was a scoundrel.
An hour later, Dongfang Mei and Huang Mao came downstairs!
Huang Mao's face was filled with excitement!
Judging by Huang Mao's expression, their collaboration had been settled!
"I've already reached an agreement with Huang Mao. He'll provide the funds and labor, and we'll just give him some new medicine!"
Dongfang Mei sat down beside Jiang Yi, a hint of smugness on her face.
"Congratulations, Miss Dongfang, congratulations, Mr. Jiang!"
Kang Dawei glanced at Huang Mao, who was drinking with a group of rich second-generation heirs, and smiled.
"This Huang Mao is no ordinary person. The rich second-generation heirs behind him also come from wealthy and influential families. Collaborating with them is bound to be very profitable!"
Jiang Yi said nothing!
Because Jiang Yi had no interest.
"I have something to attend to, so I'm leaving now. We'll have drinks again when we have time!"
Jiang Yi stood up and walked towards the exit of the hall.
Seeing this, Dongfang Mei followed him.
They reached the hotel entrance.
Jiang Yi stopped, looked at Dongfang Mei, and said, "Kang Dawei just told me about the car accident. The clues he has are completely useless."
Jiang Yi shrugged, feeling like he had come for nothing.
"Don't forget, there's still another clue!"
Dongfang Mei said, "If we can get the Yuwen family's ledger, we might find out where your sister went!"
"Are you sure the Yuwen family's ledger is useful?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I don't know!"
Dongfang Mei smiled slightly, "Whether it's useful or not, it's still a clue. What if we accidentally find your sister?"
Jiang Yi nodded. Dongfang Mei's words did have some logic.
Suddenly, Dongfang Mei reached out her hand, linked her arm with Jiang Yi's, and said with a smile, "Let's go home! I went through a lot for you today. You have to cook me a good meal!"
Dongfang Mei's appetite was piqued again.
Jiang Yi quickly withdrew his arm.
Seeing Jiang Yi's strong resistance, Dongfang Mei knitted her brows, looking displeased.
"What do you mean by this?"
Dongfang Mei questioned, "You're my boyfriend now, and I can't even link arms with you? You just said you liked me, and now you're going back on your word so quickly?"
For the first time, Dongfang Mei's face showed anger.
She felt deceived by Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi didn't know how to explain.
That's right, everything he had said earlier was to deceive Dongfang Mei.
The goal was to get Dongfang Mei to tell him the clues she had found.
"Pfft..."
Dongfang Mei suddenly laughed and said to Jiang Yi, "I get it. You're probably not used to it. After all, this is our first intimate contact. It's okay, you'll get used to it slowly."
Jiang Yi was taken aback. He hadn't expected Dongfang Mei's mood to change so quickly.
She had been angry just a moment ago, and now she was smiling.
Jiang Yi felt helpless!
If he had known, he shouldn't have lied to Dongfang Mei, saying he liked her.
Now, he couldn't get rid of her.
Dongfang Mei hailed a taxi, and Jiang Yi got in.
Jiang Yi was lost in thought about the car accident from years ago.
Suddenly, Dongfang Mei shifted her body and rested her head on Jiang Yi's shoulder, looking very sleepy, almost asleep.
Jiang Yi was helpless!
He didn't know if Dongfang Mei was genuinely sleepy or just pretending.
When they arrived at the villa, Jiang Yi called out to Dongfang Mei, and she finally sat up straight.
After Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei got out of the car, as they were about to enter the villa, a familiar figure walked out from the villa next door.
It was Ye Yanran!
Ye Yanran was wearing a white dress, and with her beautiful features, she exuded a captivating aura.
Jiang Yi was stunned.
He remembered the first time he saw Ye Yanran.
Dongfang Mei, standing beside him, frowned slightly.
Ye Yanran also saw Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei. Apparently, she didn't know Jiang Yi lived next door, and she was surprised.
"I didn't expect us to be neighbors!"
Ye Yanran walked over, smiling and greeting Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei.
Seeing Jiang Yi's confusion, Ye Yanran explained the situation.
It turned out that after Jiang Yi left, with the efforts of Ye Yanran and Dong Rui, Tiansheng Group had grown rapidly.
Tiansheng Group could no longer expand in a small place like Jiangcheng.
So, after discussion, Ye Yanran and Dong Rui decided to move Tiansheng Group to Lishi City.
Lishi City was the provincial capital of Jiang Province and also the economic hub. Only a stage like Lishi City was truly suitable for Tiansheng Group.
"Miss Shen, why are you here?" Dongfang Mei asked indifferently.
"I gave my mother some money to buy a villa in Lishi City. I didn't expect her to buy it next to yours. I only found out now that you also live in this villa complex," Ye Yanran replied.
Ye Yanran's expression was calm, and her words were proper, as if she were conversing with an old friend.
Jiang Yi greeted her and then returned to the villa.
Dongfang Mei did not follow him inside. Instead, her gaze fell on Ye Yanran.
"Miss Ye, you've come for Jiang Yi, haven't you!"
Dongfang Mei said with a cold laugh, "Let me tell you the truth, Jiang Yi has already agreed to be with me. You have no chance. Do you regret divorcing Jiang Yi now? It's too late."
"Is that so?"
Ye Yanran smiled faintly.
Then, Ye Yanran touched her stomach, looking confident.
"Don't think you can snatch Jiang Yi back just because you're carrying his child. Remember, you agreed with Jiang Yi before that Tiansheng Group would belong to you, and you would have nothing to do with Jiang Yi anymore."
"Are you going to be a person who breaks their promises?" Dongfang Mei said coldly.
