CHAPTER 1151: CHAPTER 1147: MIDNIGHT SHADOWS

"Hey, who parked a car here this late at night?" Yang Ruoxi said, puzzled.

Not only Yang Ruoxi, but Wu Kexin, Li Han, and Dai Annie were also puzzled.

"Hehe, could someone be up to no good here in the middle of the night?" Dai Annie suddenly said with a mischievous grin.

The atmosphere had been a bit strange, but Annie’s words suddenly made everyone laugh.

"Annie, what kind of nonsense are you spouting? You’ve only been with Chen Yang for a few days, and you’re already learning bad things?" Yang Ruoxi laughed first, then immediately scolded Dai Annie with a sisterly tone.

Chen Yang heard this and was quite helpless.

How did this end up being about him?

Chen Yang felt helpless, but didn’t argue with Yang Ruoxi. Instead, he seriously said, "This car isn’t from the village. I remember all the vehicles that come and go in the village, but I’ve never seen this one."

"Chen Yang, what do you think? Is someone causing trouble in the village?"

Wu Kexin was sharp and immediately caught Chen Yang’s implied meaning.

Chen Yang did mean that. He had just nodded and was about to explain when suddenly there was a rustling sound from a nearby bush.

Immediately after, a few figures suddenly ran out of the bushes and headed straight towards the construction site.

Seeing this, the four women squatted down in unison, hiding themselves.

"There are really people!"

Yang Ruoxi whispered.

Even though the voice was low, the surprise in the tone was unmistakable.

"Why would anyone be at a construction site this late? Are they here to steal something?" Li Han speculated.

At this point, Chen Yang also squatted down leisurely and said with a playful smile, "I think they’re not here to steal something, but to leave something behind."

"Leave something? What do you mean?"

The four women all looked at Chen Yang, completely puzzled.

"You’ll know once I go up there and catch them."

Chen Yang didn’t explain directly, but teased them a bit first.

Hearing this, the four women didn’t ask further and quietly squatted in the bushes by the roadside, closely watching the movements on the construction site.

Since it was very dark and they were dozens of meters away, the four women couldn’t see what those people were doing on the construction site, nor could they hear any sounds.

But Chen Yang could see and hear everything clearly.

The figures were each holding a shovel and digging something on the construction site.

As they dug, they jokingly said, "Hehe, these rich people aren’t that smart, easy to fool."

"Yeah, they even hired a Taoist to perform rituals; I laughed so hard earlier."

...

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang became even more convinced of his own suspicions.

These people were likely connected to the recent snake discoveries on the construction site!

Thinking of this, Chen Yang decided not to wait any longer and leaned down to give instructions to the four women.

He told them to wait until he had subdued those people before coming out.

"Alright, you go ahead, Chen Yang, just make sure to catch all of them and don’t let anyone escape," Yang Ruoxi said earnestly.

Chen Yang nodded, then immediately stood up from the bushes and walked towards the construction site.

The night was very dark, and as those people worked and chatted, they didn’t notice Chen Yang approaching them.

Even when Chen Yang was right behind them, they hadn’t noticed, still bent over and working hard.

The scene was somewhat amusing.

Chen Yang didn’t rush to interrupt them since they hadn’t noticed him. He simply crossed his arms and silently watched these guys as they earnestly dug with their shovels.

After watching for about two or three minutes, someone finally noticed Chen Yang.

That person had been bending down to dig, and feeling tired, he wanted to stretch his back, so he straightened up.

At a glance, he saw Chen Yang standing there.

"Holy shit!"

Seeing someone suddenly standing beside him, the man was startled, as if he’d seen a ghost, and he fell to the ground trembling.

His big reaction naturally startled the other two, who then straightened up and saw Chen Yang.

The other two were also surprised to see Chen Yang, but didn’t fall to the ground like the first guy.

Instead, they instinctively took a step back, then widened their eyes and blurted out at Chen Yang, "Who... who the hell are you? How are you here?"

Seeing the reaction of these three, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

"You’re asking who I am? I should be the one asking that question."

Chen Yang said playfully.

Hearing this, the three men showed signs of guilt on their faces, remembering that they were the ones up to no good.

"We... we’re workers on this site, who are you? What are you doing here this late, are you here to steal?" After a moment of guilt, one of them cunningly replied.

He not only claimed to be a site worker, but even accused Chen Yang of being a thief.

Hearing this, Chen Yang smiled again, and then, not bothering to argue with them, he said directly, "The recent incident of snakes being unearthed on this site, that was your doing, wasn’t it?"

"I’m giving you a chance now, make a clean admission, otherwise I’ll hand you over to the police."

As soon as Chen Yang said this, the three couldn’t maintain their composure anymore.

They exchanged nervous glances and then, without a word, threw down their shovels and started to run.

The three took off in an instant; an ordinary person would have been caught off-guard.

But Chen Yang was prepared; he knew these guys wouldn’t admit to anything and would try to escape, maybe even fight back.

So, at the moment they ran, Chen Yang sprang into action too.

In an instant, he disappeared from his spot and within moments had the three guys down on the ground.

When he tripped them, they still weren’t convinced and turned to grab their shovels, trying to take on Chen Yang.

"Really don’t know how to take a chance, do you?"

Seeing this, Chen Yang didn’t hold back anymore and went straight at them again.

This time, he showed no mercy.

He’d only tripped them before, but now Chen Yang’s blows landed solidly. After a few punches, the three were on the ground holding their heads and moaning.

Chen Yang still wasn’t satisfied and continued to beat them until all three begged for mercy before he stopped.

"Ouch... big brother, please stop, keep this up and someone might die."

...

Chen Yang stopped the beating, and at this time the four women not far away noticed Chen Yang had dealt with the three guys and rushed over with their phone flashlights on.

"Chen Yang, are you alright?"

The four women first checked on Chen Yang as soon as they got there.

Chen Yang shook his head, "I’m fine."

Hearing he was fine, the women then shifted their focus to the three guys lying on the ground.

The three were beaten black and blue by Chen Yang, and when the flashlight shone on them, they instinctively raised their hands to block the light, not wanting Chen Yang and the women to see their faces clearly.
