My beautiful CEO wife

Just as Li Gang suddenly launched an attack on Jiang Yi, over on the Jiang Family’s side, some clan members unexpectedly forced their way into the council hall.

With a cold shout from Jiang Yi, Jiang Hong was frightened to the point of kneeling on the ground.

After trembling for a long while, Jiang Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Clan... Clan Leader! Something terrible has happened!"

His complexion appeared particularly grim at this moment, especially when his gaze turned towards Li Gang, his expression becoming increasingly enigmatic.

Because of Li Gang’s situation, everyone was now quite tense, and Jiang Hong’s abnormal behavior quickly stirred the suspicions of the five.

Jiang Yi felt his heart sink, and then asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened? Speak quickly!"

After nodding, Jiang Hong began to speak, "I just received a message from the clan, they said... said..."

"What exactly did the clan tell you?" Jiang Yi asked impatiently.

As for Li Gang and the others, they couldn’t help but furrow their brows.

Jiang Hong then gritted his teeth, finally gathering the courage to say, "I just received news that Jiyue Town was ambushed, including Jiang Wei, a total of twenty-eight people were killed by a mysterious expert!"

"How could such a thing happen!" Jiang Yi widened his eyes in utter disbelief.

Li Gang was also frozen in place, unable to react.

It seemed forever before Jiang Yi finally regained his senses, his face turning ashen as he asked, "Who did it? Was the murderer caught? Could it be that he killed twenty-eight of us and still managed to escape?"

Sensing his anger, despite his fear, Jiang Hong eventually nodded and said, "The murderer has indeed escaped; he’s far too powerful for anyone to stop!"

"Moreover, according to clan members, the murderer is from the Witch Clan!"

What!

At this point, not only Li Gang and Jiang Yi were shocked, but the remaining three, including Old Elmer, were also taken aback!

"What is going on? Li Gang just said his clan was attacked by the Jiang Family, and now it’s the Jiang Family’s turn to be ambushed by the Witch Clan," Arthur said in astonishment.

"Don’t ask me, I don’t know either!" Jiang Yi said through gritted teeth, then couldn’t help but glare at Li Gang.

As if sensing his gaze, Li Gang snorted coldly and said, "Stop glaring at me, I just found out about this too!"

"Haha, I found out about it just like you," Jiang Yi laughed coldly, "But how were you treating me just now? You even demanded an explanation from me!"

"Now I want to see how you’ll explain the situation in Jiyue Town!"

"You..." Li Gang gritted his teeth, suddenly at a loss for words.

Seeing him speechless, Jiang Yi’s disdain grew even stronger.

As the atmosphere became unbearably awkward, Old Elmer, the host, stepped forward to mediate: "In my view, these two events are suspicious, perhaps we should all sit down and sort them out clearly."

"After all, instead of sulking here, it might be better to get a clear explanation to prevent any misunderstandings."

His words offered both men a way out.

In fact, both Jiang Yi and Li Gang felt something was amiss, as Old Elmer mentioned, these two events indeed seemed suspicious.

"Jiang Hong, please leave for now," Jiang Yi told him, then returned to his seat.

After Jiang Hong exited the council hall, the five took their seats.

Old Elmer cleared his throat and began to speak: "Since both of you have calmed down, let’s clarify these two matters. In terms of timeline, the Witch Clan was attacked first, Brother Jiang, did you secretly send someone to attack the Witch Clan?"

"Absolutely not!" Jiang Yi declared without hesitation, "I don’t want to be petty like some people, getting caught up in trivial matters!"

Hearing his insinuation, Li Gang was somewhat annoyed and said: "Cut the Yin Yang crap, if you can talk, continue; if not, drop it! Don’t think the Witch Clan fears you! We’ve never feared anyone in fights!"

"What do you mean? Are you saying the Jiyue Town incident is really your doing?" Jiang Yi asked with an unfriendly gaze.

Li Gang snorted coldly, without responding.

Under normal circumstances, his silence wouldn’t be a big issue. However, after such events, his silence seemed to equate to a tacit admission!

Jiang Yi gritted his teeth, exuding a terrifying killing intent: "I finally understand, you falsely cried out for a thief to be caught! Your Witch Clan wasn’t attacked at all; you just wanted an excuse to strike against the Jiang Family, pretending to be ambushed!"

"Li Gang! What a deep calculation!"

Li Gang’s brows furrowed upon hearing this, then he opened his mouth as if to say something.

However, for some reason, instead of explaining, he changed his words: "I have nothing to say, I didn’t lie about this matter! As for negotiations, it’s unnecessary, given how things have developed, there’s nothing left to discuss!"

"That’s it, the Witch Clan is withdrawing from the alliance!"

After speaking, Li Gang shot Jiang Yi a cold glance and turned around furiously to leave.

Jiang Yi watched his receding figure, his expression turning exceedingly grim: "You’ve all seen his attitude. I did nothing wrong; let’s put the alliance talks on hold. After I settle this feud with Li Gang, we’ll discuss the alliance!"

"That’s it, I’m leaving too!"

Jiang Yi then stood up and resolutely chose to leave.

Once Old Elmer and the other two were left in the hall, they exchanged looks and couldn’t help but sigh.

"How did things escalate to this point? These two matters are clearly suspicious!" Arthur said with a frown, "How did those two suddenly become so muddled and lose their cool?"

Old Elmer shook his head, saying: "Not just you, I also can’t understand their reasons. Perhaps this was destined to be a calamity, if the alliance is to be fully established, all these conflicts must be resolved."

"Otherwise, even if the alliance is established, there will be deep rifts among everyone."

After hearing his words, Arthur and Helic couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
