CHAPTER 1247: CHAPTER 245: BLESSING OR CURSE, SOBER AND CRUEL

"What did you say? The clothes were taken?" Dongfang Yi asked incredulously.

The person who came bowed their head respectfully and replied, "Yes, the shop assistant said it was Winter’s assistant who called personally, asking the staff to hand it over to the person."

Dongfang Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, "Did you find out who it was?"

"The other party is very cunning, we haven’t identified them yet, but I will soon find out their identity."

"Haha, when did the Capital City gain such a talent, someone who can actually evade Ying Tang’s eyes, interesting." Dongfang Yi rotated her cup, her gaze cold.

"Continue to investigate, make sure to find them for me."

"Yes."

The Dongfang Family started with intelligence work, and under them, there are three major intelligence systems: Eagle, Crane, and Sparrow, covering the entire nation and the world. It can be said that nothing in the Capital City can escape the eyes of the Dongfang Family, yet now, this person has appeared.

"Wait, any news from Yan Song?"

The head of Ying Tang, Zong Qing, paused his steps, turned back, and respectfully said, "He is now the head of the second department of the general staff, and the chief has great trust in him."

"As expected, he did not disappoint me." Dongfang Yi put down the teacup, her gaze carrying a hint of a smile.

"Qian Xi, that troublemaker, I hope this time he learns his lesson." The previous Minister Liang was from the Dongfang Family, but unfortunately, it was time for retirement. Qian Xi has always been at odds with Minister Liang, which is no secret, but Yan Song does not have Minister Liang’s good temper.

She must secure this man, Yan Song.

A determined glint crossed her eyes, but the thought of Ji Yunya... her fingers gently tapping the table, somewhat a headache, but it’s okay, she will clear all the obstacles one step at a time.

"Jiang Li has returned, right?" Dongfang Yi asked softly.

"Yes, returned yesterday. The couple stayed at the Yan Family yesterday, but they later quarreled, and Jiang Li returned to the Jiang Family alone."

Yan Zi married Jiang Li back then using some disgraceful means, over the years, he hasn’t gained any sense. Only someone as mild-mannered as Jiang Li could endure it.

"Go find Minister Zhao, arrange for Jiang Li to be included."

She wants the Jiang Family to become a sword in her hand, striking where she points.

Before going to sleep, Dongfang Yi received a call from Song Jinwen, who already knew what happened during the day. Hearing Song Jinwen yammering away, she coldly said, "Forget what you’ve eaten after taking a beating, wasn’t Yan Xing’s lesson deep enough?"

Song Jinwen paused, knowing she was referring to being humiliated by Yan Xing concerning her final grades, unhappily said, "That was her cheating, no way I believe she improved her scores drastically in just a week."

"Yet the facts are right before you, you just refuse to accept it. I’m telling you, don’t underestimate Ji Yunya; this woman is not as simple as you think." She had investigated Ji Yunya, from when she was young, going abroad, and the past two years, yet everything seems to have been erased by a big hand, just a mist, what’s before her are things others want her to see.

What does this indicate?

That Ji Yunya has a hand behind her, a more powerful one, even the Dongfang Family’s influence can’t discern a bit. It’s a deeply frustrating fact, even if she doesn’t want to admit it, she must acknowledge Ji Yunya is far more mysterious and unpredictable than imagined.

But that’s fine too, let these people stir things up for now, let her see how deep Ji Yunya goes.

"Sister Yi, are you scared of her? If her reputation is ruined, would the Yan Family still let her marry in? If you ask me, no one in this world matches Yan Song better than you, Sister Yi. I saw that Ji Yunya today, she’s just a bit prettier, nothing special, see how I trample her underfoot, relying merely on looks to charm men, Sister Yi, you’re much prettier. I’ll make sure she rolls back to Jiangzhou, and show her that the Capital City isn’t a place for her to act wildly just as she pleases."

These words spoke right to Dongfang Yi’s heart, her mouth slightly curved in a smile, but she scolded, "Being favored by Third Lady Yan still means she has something extraordinary, don’t talk nonsense. Forewarned is forearmed, don’t act rashly tomorrow, or if something happens, I won’t care." She then directly hung up the phone.

Song Jinwen pouted, "Hmph... coward, what’s there to fear, and to think you’re the eldest miss of the Dongfang Family, just watch me tomorrow...."

When Yun Ya woke up in the morning, Yan Song had already left. She propped up her head and sat up, wondering if Brother Yan came over last night?
