Jiang Yi understood her meaning; Dongfang Mei wanted to use Zhou Mao.
"Zhou Mao is my best friend, don't you dare mess with him!" Jiang Yi frowned.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Dongfang Mei said with a charming smile.
"How did the interrogation of the Yuwen family head go? Do you have any news about my sister?" Jiang Yi asked.
"He's tough as nails and won't say a thing!"
Dongfang Mei took a sip of red wine, her red lips moving as she continued, "I've thought of a way to make the Yuwen family head talk, but the guards from the military governor's mansion are watching too closely, making it difficult to implement."
"What way?" Jiang Yi was curious.
"I plan to arrest all the Yuwen family members and use them to force the Yuwen family head to tell the truth. Although this method is a bit extreme, it's not too much for someone like the Yuwen family head."
"One should use the appropriate method for the person one is dealing with."
Dongfang Mei raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Yi tacitly agreed.
Since the Yuwen family had trafficked his sister, he wouldn't stop Dongfang Mei even if she killed members of the Yuwen family.
There was no need for sympathy when dealing with villains.
"I'll speak to Zhou Wentian for you and have him withdraw those guards around the Yuwen residence!" Jiang Yi offered.
"Thank you!"
Dongfang Mei smiled slightly.
"No need to thank me. You're helping me find my sister, so of course I'll help you," Jiang Yi replied.
"Aren't you afraid I'll force you to marry me after I find your sister?" Dongfang Mei looked at Jiang Yi playfully.
"I'm not afraid at all!"
Jiang Yi looked at Dongfang Mei. "If you're not afraid of being implicated by me, then marry me."
"You said it, and you can't go back on your word."
Dongfang Mei's face was full of smiles; she looked very happy.
In order to find Jiang Yi's sister sooner, Dongfang Mei left the villa with Shadow.
Dongfang Mei intended to find Jiang Yi's sister before Zhou Wentian did.
Watching Dongfang Mei's receding back, Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
He was completely using Dongfang Mei.
It was indeed a bit much, but to find his sister sooner, he couldn't afford to care about that now.
After sitting in the hall for a while, Jiang Yi went to the backyard.
He wanted to see how Shen Lu was doing.
Shen Lu had been injured while working for him, so he couldn't just ignore her.
When he reached the backyard, he saw Chen Kun.
Chen Kun was sitting on a chair, smoking listlessly.
"Where are those children?" Jiang Yi asked.
"They've left."
Chen Kun replied, "A few days ago, Miss Dongfang bought a house and converted it into an orphanage. This morning, all the children were taken to the orphanage."
Jiang Yi hadn't expected Dongfang Mei to be so dedicated to this matter.
Everything was arranged so perfectly; she truly lived up to her status as the eldest daughter of the Dongfang family.
"Brother, Miss Dongfang is so rich!"
Chen Kun couldn't help but exclaim, "When she was buying that building, I went with her and Yi Yi. Miss Dongfang asked Yi Yi if she liked the house. Yi Yi said she did, and guess what? Miss Dongfang bought it on the spot without batting an eyelid. That was ten billion!"
Chen Kun was astonished!
Chen Kun's surprise was understandable.
His Chen family was considered wealthy, but buying a ten-billion-yuan building would require serious consideration and confirmation. Yet, Dongfang Mei did it without blinking.
The Dongfang family was indeed very wealthy!
Let alone ten billion, even a hundred billion wouldn't make Dongfang Mei bat an eyelid.
Dongfang Mei had likely never experienced the hardship of lacking money in her life.
As long as it was something Dongfang Mei liked, Liu Hong would find a way to get it for her.
Ordinary people couldn't even imagine Dongfang Mei's lifestyle.
"Has Shen Lu woken up?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I don't know."
Chen Kun shook his head.
"I just woke up too!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yi pushed open the door and entered the room.
Inside, Jiang Yi looked at Shen Lu on the bed and found her still unconscious.
However, her complexion had improved significantly.
Just as Jiang Yi was about to leave, Shen Lu murmured and slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing Jiang Yi, Shen Lu tried to get up from the bed.
"Get some proper rest!"
Jiang Yi looked at Shen Lu and said.
"I'll call a couple of servants to take care of you later. Rest well. Once your injuries have healed, I'll teach you some skills, and you won't get injured so easily when dealing with assassins!"
Hearing this, Shen Lu was very excited.
She knew how capable Jiang Yi was.
"Thank you... Mr. Jiang..." Shen Lu thanked him gratefully.
"No need to thank me!"
Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment before speaking to Shen Lu, "Those assassins are desperate criminals. You could be in danger at any time. If you don't want to stay, I won't blame you!"
"I won't leave. I'm willing to help you deal with that assassin organization!" Shen Lu said quickly.
"Mm."
Jiang Yi nodded and said, "Then get some good rest. I've prepared some medicine for you. This medicine will help your injuries recover quickly and prevent any lingering old wounds!"
After saying that, Jiang Yi left the room.
Chen Kun did not follow. After Jiang Yi's footsteps faded, he took a deep breath and said to Shen Lu, "Why are you putting yourself through this? You finally escaped that assassin organization, and now you're getting involved again."
"This is the only way I can stay by Mr. Jiang's side!" Shen Lu said.
Chen Kun was stunned.
"You... you've fallen for my brother?" Chen Kun couldn't help but ask.
"Mm."
Shen Lu didn't hide it and said self-deprecatingly, "I don't know why, but I just inexplicably fell for him!"
Chen Kun didn't know what to say.
"I know I'm not qualified, but I can't help it!"
Shen Lu continued, "I don't expect to become Mr. Jiang's woman. Just being able to stay by his side and work for him makes me content!"
Chen Kun remained silent.
In fact, Chen Kun wasn't stupid and had noticed it long ago, but he hadn't believed it, thinking he was overthinking.
He hadn't expected it to be true.
"I'm only telling you this, and I hope you can keep it a secret and not tell anyone. Otherwise, I'll lose face," Shen Lu said to Chen Kun.
"Don't worry!"
Chen Kun nodded and said, "I won't tell anyone. You should rest. I'll be going now!"
With that, Chen Kun left the room.
In the courtyard, Chen Kun caught up with Jiang Yi.
"Brother, please visit Shen Lu more often," Chen Kun said to Jiang Yi. "She's quite pitiful."
"You're speaking in riddles!"
Jiang Yi's gaze fell on Chen Kun, and he smiled. "What exactly do you want to say?"
