"It's not that I want to help you, it's that the young lady asked me to check on you. If you need my help, I'll do my best!" Shadow said.
"Alright, then help me with a small favor!" Jiang Yi said.
"What favor?" Shadow asked.
"Keep an eye on Huichuntang. If you get any news, come back and tell me." Jiang Yi said.
Shadow nodded and left the hall.
This matter was very simple for Shadow.
Jiang Yi felt a bit sleepy and lay down on the sofa to rest.
Around midnight, Jiang Yi was awakened by the sound of footsteps.
Opening his eyes, he saw ten dark figures entering the hall, their eyes filled with ferocity, and they lunged directly at him.
Jiang Yi sneered and leaped from the sofa, standing up.
These guys were all assassins!
They must be from Master Qing's side!
Master Qing was an old fox. He should know very well that killing him would resolve everything. He was the key to this whole affair.
But it was a pity that Master Qing underestimated him. With these few people, he couldn't possibly kill him!
Without hesitation, Jiang Yi quickly dealt with all the assassins.
Soon, many guards rushed towards the area!
Jiang Yi suddenly had a clever idea. He changed into one of the assassin's clothes, set it on fire, and then left the hall directly, heading into the woods outside the villa.
This villa was made of wood, making it easy to catch fire.
In less than ten minutes, the entire villa was engulfed in flames.
Judge Hao and the guards, along with the servants, scrambled out of the villa in a sorry state, covered in dirt and soot.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call for people to extinguish the fire!" Judge Hao shouted.
"Yes!"
A guard quickly made a phone call!
By the time the fire trucks arrived, the villa was already in a terrible state!
It took a full hour before the fire in the villa was finally extinguished.
The scene was simply unbearable to look at!
"Where is Jiang Yi?"
Judge Hao shouted.
The guards lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
"Are you deaf? I asked you, where is Jiang Yi?" Judge Hao yelled furiously.
"Jiang Yi is dead!"
The leading guard said, "We found many bodies in the villa's hall earlier. One of the bodies was Jiang Yi's."
Upon hearing this, Judge Hao's face immediately darkened.
If Jiang Yi died, Judge Hao wouldn't be able to explain it to the Governor of Jiang Province, Zhou Wentian. Zhou Wentian would definitely not let him off.
"Where is the body?" Judge Hao still held onto a sliver of hope.
The leading guard pointed to the side.
Judge Hao quickly walked over and saw that the clothes the body was wearing were indeed Jiang Yi's.
The face of the body had been burned beyond recognition, and its identity could only be determined by its clothes.
"This is the end!"
Judge Hao stumbled, nearly collapsing to the ground.
With Jiang Yi dead, he had no way to survive.
"You are all useless! I told you to guard the hall properly, and yet you let so many assassins sneak into the villa!" Judge Hao cursed angrily.
Judge Hao had known Master Qing for over a decade. From the assassins' clothing, he could tell at a glance that they were Master Qing's men.
The guards lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
What Judge Hao didn't know was that Jiang Yi was standing in the nearby woods, watching the scene unfold.
Master Qing and Judge Hao were now at a stalemate. However, Jiang Yi did not intend to let Judge Hao off the hook just yet.
Once news of his death reached Zhou Wentian, he would surely not let Judge Hao off.
Only he could cure Zhou Yuanyuan's illness. If he died, no one would be able to cure her, and Zhou Yuanyuan would surely die.
This was a brilliant move!
Just then, Young Master Hao returned!
Young Master Hao was stunned when he saw the scene. He then quickly asked Judge Hao, "Dad, what happened? Why has our villa become like this?"
"Master Qing did this!"
Judge Hao took a deep breath. "He sent assassins to infiltrate the villa, killed Jiang Yi, and then set the villa on fire!"
"Jiang Yi is dead?" Young Master Hao's face looked grim.
"Yes!" Judge Hao nodded, then pointed to the body beside him and said, "This is Jiang Yi's body."
"Dad, what should we do now? Tomorrow the Governor will send Deputy Officer Liang to find you. If the Governor knows Jiang Yi is dead, he definitely won't let us off. We will all surely die!" Young Master Hao said anxiously.
"At this point, I can't do anything!"
Judge Hao took a deep breath and then asked Young Master Hao, "Is Master Qing dead?"
"No, Master Qing escaped. However, I destroyed Huichuntang. Even if Master Qing is still alive, he's become a lone wolf and is no threat!" Young Master Hao said.
"It's useless even if we kill Master Qing now!" Judge Hao said.
"Dad, why don't we just flee Jiang Province? If we wait until tomorrow morning, we won't be able to leave," Young Master Hao said with a frown.
"We can't escape!"
A hint of despair appeared on Judge Hao's face.
"The entire Jiang Province is the Governor's territory. We'll likely be discovered by the Governor before we even reach the train station!"
Upon hearing this, Young Master Hao's face was filled with unwillingness.
"There is a way, but it can only delay the time for now!" Judge Hao said.
"What way?" Young Master Hao asked urgently.
"This way is very simple. When Deputy Officer Liang comes to find me tomorrow, just say that Jiang Yi has already left!" Judge Hao said.
"Okay, let's do that!"
Young Master Hao said.
Young Master Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Judge Hao's expression remained very somber.
He knew in his heart that this matter would eventually be exposed.
Once Zhou Wentian found out, the Hao family would still be doomed.
Jiang Yi in the woods curled his lips. He glanced at the despairing Judge Hao and Young Master Hao, then turned to leave.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Shadow.
"Your methods are truly brilliant, causing Judge Hao and Master Qing to suffer mutual destruction, and now you've cornered Judge Hao and his son." Shadow said.
"They brought it upon themselves!"
Jiang Yi smiled faintly.
The Hao father and son had to be eliminated. If he didn't get rid of them, they would continue to cause trouble for him in the future.
Moreover, the Hao father and son had their eyes on Tiansheng Group. They had become the biggest threat to Tiansheng Group.
"What do you plan to do next?" Shadow asked.
"Don't do anything. Go home and sleep!"
After saying that, Jiang Yi turned and left the woods.
Returning to the villa, Jiang Yi lay in bed and fell asleep.
The night passed uneventfully!
The next morning, when Jiang Yi turned on the television, he found that it was all about Huichuntang news.
