Chen Kun was stunned upon hearing this.
Not knowing Ye Yanran's identity, Chen Kun couldn't understand why Jiang Yi wanted him to keep an eye on the Xiao family in Jiangcheng.
"I'll tell you why later, just do as I say!" Jiang Yi said.
"Alright!"
Chen Kun nodded.
Soon, Chen Kun frowned and said to Jiang Yi, "The Xiao family is one of the top families in the capital. I have no way to monitor them, let alone figure out their influence."
"Go find Sun Shengshou, he will help you!" Jiang Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Kun's face was filled with excitement.
Chen Kun had long wanted to meet a prominent figure like Sun Shengshou, and now he finally had the chance.
"If you're unwilling, then I'll have Shen Lu go!" Jiang Yi said.
"Of course, I'm willing!"
Chen Kun chuckled, "I'm going to the capital anyway, it's a good opportunity to broaden my horizons. The capital is the most prosperous city in the entire Huaxia. Going there will surely expose me to a wider world."
"Alright, then you shall go. Depart now," Jiang Yi said.
"Brother, is it that urgent?" Chen Kun asked.
"Of course it's urgent!"
Jiang Yi replied, "This matter is of great importance, and you are the person I trust the most, which is why I'm sending you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't entrust this task to them."
Hearing this, Chen Kun chuckled, feeling a sense of pride.
Jiang Yi's words made Chen Kun very happy.
"I'll head to the capital now," Chen Kun said.
"This matter must be kept confidential. Do not tell anyone," Jiang Yi reminded him.
"Understood!" Chen Kun nodded and left the hall.
After sitting for a while, Jiang Yi also left Tiansheng Group and returned to the villa.
The villa was very quiet, not a single servant in sight.
This left Jiang Yi a bit puzzled.
He wondered what Dongfang Mei was up to.
"Jiang Yi, you're back!"
Cui Hua, dressed in a servant's uniform, emerged from the living room and greeted Jiang Yi with a smile.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi was taken aback.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Yi asked in confusion.
"I'm doing chores!"
Cui Hua said, "I can't just eat and live here for free. I asked Miss Dongfang to dismiss all the servants. From now on, I'll handle the household chores in the villa. Don't worry, I may not have many skills, but doing chores is something I can handle."
Jiang Yi felt a bit awkward.
Cui Hua was a guest; how could he let her act as a servant and do chores?
He really didn't understand what Dongfang Mei was thinking.
"Where is Dongfang Mei?" Jiang Yi asked.
"In the living room!"
Cui Hua replied.
Jiang Yi hummed and went straight to the living room.
He saw Dongfang Mei sitting on the sofa, looking distressed.
"I know what you want to say!"
Dongfang Mei spoke, "She insisted on doing the chores herself, and I couldn't stop her. I could only indulge her."
Jiang Yi shrugged. It seemed Dongfang Mei wasn't to blame for this.
"I heard that Dasheng Group had an incident, is that true?" Dongfang Mei asked.
"Mhm."
Jiang Yi nodded.
"I didn't expect you to resolve the trouble with Sun Shicai so quickly!"
Dongfang Mei looked at Jiang Yi and said, "You've handled all the matters in Jiang Province. When are you coming to the capital with me?"
"I never said I would go to the capital with you," Jiang Yi stated.
"Even if you haven't said it, you have to come with me."
Dongfang Mei flashed a playful smile, "Once we're in the capital, I'll introduce you to the people in my Dongfang family. You must meet them before we get married."
Jiang Yi was speechless. Dongfang Mei was too overbearing.
"What about Cui Hua's situation?" Jiang Yi changed the subject.
As soon as Jiang Yi mentioned Cui Hua, Dongfang Mei's face immediately showed worry. She said helplessly, "She's too picky. I arranged blind dates for her with eight people today, and their quality is even better than yesterday's. But she didn't fancy any of them. She always finds reasons to reject them. She even said one of them had a problem with his posture and rejected him outright."
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laugh at this.
"Aren't you very capable? You can't even handle Cui Hua?"
Jiang Yi chuckled, "It seems there's always someone to keep you in check!"
"Who says I can't handle her? Just you wait, I refuse to believe this. If I don't help Cui Hua find a match, I won't leave. I'll stay in Jiangcheng forever until I find her a partner," Dongfang Mei declared boldly.
"Then I wish you success," Jiang Yi said with a smile.
"Then I'll take your good wishes!"
Dongfang Mei said, "I've worked so hard for Cui Hua's sake. Shouldn't you treat me well today? I don't have any other requests, just cook me a delicious meal."
"Another day. I'm tired after working all day," Jiang Yi replied.
"It's fine, I'll handle the grocery shopping," Dongfang Mei offered.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to speak, Dongfang Mei called out towards the courtyard. As soon as she finished speaking, Cui Hua ran in from outside, smiling as she said to Cui Hua, "Go to the supermarket and buy some groceries. Jiang Yi will cook us something delicious later."
"Mhm."
Cui Hua nodded.
Dongfang Mei took out her phone and directly transferred twenty thousand yuan to Cui Hua.
Dongfang Mei was wealthy; twenty thousand yuan was nothing to her.
"Miss Dongfang, why are you giving me so much money? It won't cost this much for groceries," Cui Hua said hurriedly.
"Use the leftover money to buy a good bottle of red wine!" Su Dan Fiction Network
Dongfang Mei instructed Cui Hua, "Remember, don't buy anything too cheap."
Cui Hua hesitated for a moment before going out to buy groceries.
An hour later, Cui Hua returned with the groceries.
Jiang Yi began cooking.
As soon as he finished cooking and took a bite, Bai Zhen called. He informed Jiang Yi that Sun Shicai had been apprehended.
Jiang Yi immediately put down his chopsticks and headed to the Jiang Province Chamber of Commerce.
Upon arriving at the Jiang Province Chamber of Commerce, as soon as Jiang Yi entered the hall, Bai Zhen rushed over to personally greet him.
Bai Zhen's attitude towards Jiang Yi had improved significantly compared to before.
After all, Bai Zhen now had a favor to ask of Jiang Yi.
"Sun Shicai was preparing to leave Jiang Province by plane and was caught by the Governor's guards. Unfortunately, the Ghost Doctor Cao Desheng managed to escape!" Bai Zhen took a deep breath, looking somewhat frustrated.
The drug was developed by Cao Desheng. Without apprehending Cao Desheng, Bai Zhen couldn't provide an explanation to everyone.
Jiang Yi was not interested in Cao Desheng at the moment.
Jiang Yi only wanted to see Sun Shicai.
"Where is Sun Shicai?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I've had him locked up in the warehouse in the backyard. I've assigned plenty of guards, so he can't escape even if he had wings," Bai Zhen said, then led Jiang Yi towards the backyard.
Upon reaching the warehouse, Jiang Yi indeed saw Sun Shicai.
Sun Shicai was tied up securely, with a group of fully armed guards standing nearby.
