Chapter 258 Man Dies for Wealth

"Don't rush!"

Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow and Shen Lu walked in from outside, bringing Sun Shicai's son.

Sun Shicai was tied up with ropes, his face bruised and swollen, clearly having been thoroughly beaten. His old injuries had not healed, and now new ones were added.

"Release my son immediately!" Sun Shicai shouted at Jiang Yi.

"We'll release them together!" Jiang Yi replied.

Sun Shicai hesitated for a moment, then agreed to release them together.

Sun Shicai had the two bald men release Dongfang Mei!

Jiang Yi also had Shadow let Sun Shicai's son go.

Seeing Sun Shicai's son safe, Master Qing revealed a sinister smile and charged directly towards Dongfang Mei, preparing to capture her.

Shadow lunged towards Master Qing, forcing him to retreat.

"Capture Dongfang Mei!"

Master Qing shouted at the two bald men.

The two bald men remained motionless, still standing in their original positions.

Master Qing was helpless and could only watch as Dongfang Mei walked over to Jiang Yi.

"Are you deaf?" Master Qing roared at the two bald men.

"Master Qing, I'm sorry, we are now Miss Dongfang's followers!" one of the bald men said to Master Qing.

Master Qing's expression turned grim upon hearing this.

"This is outrageous!"

Master Qing roared at the two bald men, "You have always been loyal to me; why have you suddenly betrayed me?"

Master Qing was deeply perplexed.

"I gave them a million each, and they promised to die for me!"

Dongfang Mei looked at Master Qing and said with amusement, "This is a lot of money for them. With this money, they can live carefreely for a while, without having to follow you and live a life on the edge of a blade."

Master Qing took a deep breath upon hearing this.

Master Qing finally understood why the two bald men had betrayed him.

Money makes the world go round.

The saying was absolutely true.

And Dongfang Mei was never short of money.

"Kill Master Qing for me, and I'll give you two million each!" Dongfang Mei said to the two bald men.

The two bald men glanced at Master Qing, their eyes showing a hint of killing intent.

For money, these two bald men not only betrayed Master Qing but also intended to kill him.

"Master Qing, I'm sorry!"

One of the bald men looked at Master Qing and said, "We've followed you for so many years, but the money you gave us was not enough to support our families. Miss Dongfang is generous and has given us so much money. We have no choice; we have to kill you!"

The other bald man didn't waste any words and lunged at Master Qing.

Master Qing's face was full of murderous intent.

Man dies for wealth, birds die for food. Faced with money, no one could resist the temptation.

The two bald men were quite skilled, and they injured Master Qing, but they were also knocked to the ground and fainted on the spot.

Suddenly, a cold glint flew towards Master Qing at an extremely fast speed.

Master Qing, already injured, was unable to dodge.

After a scream, Master Qing fell to the ground, his body convulsing a few times before he stopped breathing.

The one who made the move was Shadow.

Since Master Qing dared to kidnap Dongfang Mei, Shadow would naturally not let him go.

"This is outrageous!"

Sun Shicai glanced at the lifeless Master Qing and exploded, shouting at the security guards in the hall, "Kill them for me."

"Yes!"

The security guards responded and rushed towards Jiang Yi and his group.

Jiang Yi did not make a move himself. Shadow and Shen Lu were enough to deal with these security guards.

Although the security guards were numerous, they were no match for Shadow and Shen Lu.

One minute later, all the security guards were lying on the ground, letting out pig-like screams.

Seeing this, Sun Shicai's face turned ashen.

Jiang Yi stood up from the sofa and walked towards Sun Shicai step by step.

Sun Shicai thought Jiang Yi was going to kill him, and he trembled all over, constantly backing away.

When he reached Sun Shicai, Jiang Yi stopped.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you!"

Jiang Yi looked at Sun Shicai and smiled slightly, "You are from the Xiao family, and you have great value to me."

Sun Shicai's face turned as pale as paper.

"Alright, let's go!"

Jiang Yi called out to Dongfang Mei and the others.

"No, I must kill Sun Shicai. Although he didn't kidnap the young lady, he was in cahoots with Master Qing. I won't let anyone involved in this matter go." Shadow's eyes were filled with killing intent.

Jiang Yi shrugged.

It seemed he couldn't dissuade Shadow.

Sun Shicai was a member of the Xiao family, and he was still useful to Jiang Yi.

He had promised Father Ye that he would help Ye Yanran get back what belonged to her from the Xiao family. Sun Shicai was a significant breakthrough.

"Sun Shicai cannot die!" Jiang Yi said to Dongfang Mei.

Dongfang Mei understood Jiang Yi's intention and said to Shadow, "Shadow, spare Sun Shicai for now."

"Young lady..." Shadow was unwilling.

"Don't you even listen to me?" Dongfang Mei frowned.

Seeing Dongfang Mei's displeasure, Shadow hesitated before letting Sun Shicai go.

Jiang Yi smiled slightly, realizing that Dongfang Mei's words were indeed effective.

"Mr. Sun, farewell!"

Jiang Yi glanced at Sun Shicai, then turned and walked out of the hall.

Dongfang Mei, Shadow, and Shen Lu followed.

Sun Shicai watched Jiang Yi swagger away, his face filled with murderous intent. "One day, I will personally kill Jiang Yi..."

This was the first time Sun Shicai felt so humiliated.

Even in the capital, he was considered a person of some standing. Yet, in a small place like Jiang Province, he had fallen to such a state.

If he didn't kill Jiang Yi, Sun Shicai couldn't swallow his pride.

"It seems that young Jiang Yi is not easy to deal with!"

Ghost Physician Cao Desheng's brow furrowed slightly, and he said to Sun Shicai, "Mr. Sun, why don't we go back to the capital and find the Third Young Master to kill Jiang Yi directly? There's no need to keep dealing with this kid Jiang Yi."

"There's no need for the Third Young Master to take action. I can kill Jiang Yi myself," Sun Shicai said in a deep voice.

Even now, Sun Shicai still did not take Jiang Yi seriously.

In Sun Shicai's opinion, Jiang Yi's only skill was his fighting ability; he had no other abilities.

If he couldn't even deal with Jiang Yi, Sun Shicai would have no face to return to the capital to see Xiao Wenbin, and Xiao Wenbin would not reuse or trust him in the future.

Xiao Wenbin never kept useless people around.

"Mr. Sun, what are your chances of killing Jiang Yi?" Cao Desheng asked.

"I have a hundred percent chance!"

Sun Shicai revealed a look of disdain and said, "In this society, being able to fight is useless. You need real skills. No matter how well Jiang Yi can fight, he is just a good-for-nothing."
