CHAPTER 1152: CHAPTER 1148: THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE SCENES

"What are you three sneaky doing at our construction site? Doing some shady stealing?"

Yang Ruoxi looked at the three people lying on the ground and questioned loudly.

The three of them, beaten to submission, didn’t dare to delay in the face of Yang Ruoxi’s questioning and quickly said, "We didn’t do anything shady..."

"Who are you fooling? Coming to the construction site in the middle of the night and claiming not to do anything shady, what, are you here to help?" Yang Ruoxi continued loudly.

These three originally wanted to keep arguing.

But after Yang Ruoxi’s scolding, they didn’t know what excuse to make up, so they just lay on the ground, full of anxiety, at a loss.

"Sister Ruoxi, Chen Yang, come over quickly, there’s another sack over here, don’t know what’s inside." Just as Yang Ruoxi and Chen Yang were about to continue the interrogation, Dai Annie suddenly shouted from the side.

Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi immediately turned their gaze towards Dai Annie’s location.

They saw that beside the pit these guys were digging, there was indeed a kind of rural sack used for holding crops.

It looked quite heavy, seemingly filled with a lot of things.

"Let me check it out."

Seeing there was something, Yang Ruoxi didn’t continue questioning the three people but walked straight towards Dai Annie, ready to open the sack and take a look.

Chen Yang saw this and quickly caught up with a few steps to stop her.

"It might be dangerous, let me open it." Chen Yang grabbed the opening of the sack first.

Yang Ruoxi realized there might be danger, so she didn’t compete with Chen Yang and let him open it.

This sack was tied tightly with rope.

Chen Yang patiently untied the rope and took a peek inside in advance.

Goodness, the sack was full of snakes!

Dozens or even hundreds of snakes were wriggling inside the bag, giving one goosebumps.

Fortunately, Chen Yang was mentally prepared, so seeing this scene, he wasn’t very surprised or shocked.

After taking a look, he quickly tied the bag back up.

The four women next to him didn’t see what was inside and were puzzled by Chen Yang’s behavior.

"Hey, Chen Yang, why tie it up again, we haven’t seen what’s inside yet." Yang Ruoxi said.

Chen Yang looked up at Yang Ruoxi and said, "It’s all snakes inside!"

"Ah!"

As soon as he said this, all four women gasped, retreating several steps back as if avoiding the plague.

"Is... is it all snakes inside?"

Yang Ruoxi’s eyes widened, covered in goosebumps.

"Yeah."

Chen Yang nodded seriously, indicating he wasn’t trying to scare them.

Now, all four women were covered in goosebumps and uncomfortable, retreating a few more steps, keeping a certain distance from the sack.

"They’re all in the bag and can’t get out, what are you afraid of." Seeing the big reaction from the four women, Chen Yang couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking to himself that it was a good thing Yang Ruoxi didn’t look first, otherwise who knows how scared she would be.

After saying this, Chen Yang didn’t continue to talk to the four women but turned his attention back to the three bruised people.

Originally, he just suspected that these three were related to the recent incidents of snakes being found on the construction site.

Now with people and evidence caught, it’s a hundred percent confirmed that the recent trouble at the site was caused by these three guys.

"I’m giving you one last chance to honestly explain why you did this, otherwise, I’ll have to send you to the station." Chen Yang said indifferently.

The three men lying on the ground were panicking, originally wanting to deny everything.

But seeing as Chen Yang had found the snakes, there was no point in arguing?

So they gave up resistance and started confessing honestly.

"W-We were instructed by Director Yan to do this." Someone spoke weakly.

Hearing the words Director Yan, Chen Yang and the four women were taken aback, not recalling who it was immediately.

After thinking it over, they remembered; wasn’t Director Yan from the County Department of Education?

At that time, there was a near-argument with Chen Yang over school construction.

Unexpectedly, the incidents on the construction site recently were actually orchestrated by this Director Yan.

This was quite a surprise.

Chen Yang exchanged a glance with Wu Kexin, then continued to ask, "Why did he have you do this?"

All three shrugged their heads, "We don’t know about that, we just took the money and did what he said, we didn’t ask anything else."

By the looks and reactions, it seemed they weren’t lying.

So Chen Yang didn’t press them.

"Chen Yang, how do you plan to handle this?" After the inquiry, Wu Kexin asked how Chen Yang planned to deal with this matter.

Chen Yang thought for a moment and smiled: "Of course, go to the county and expose him. Being in such a position and not doing his job, coming here to cause trouble, I can’t tolerate such behavior."

"Right! Must expose him, he should be punished, too excessive, I really thought some mythical snake creatures were being born."

Yang Ruoxi righteously agreed with Chen Yang’s approach, absolutely wanting to expose what happened today.

Although her righteous indignation was inexplicably a bit comical.

Wu Kexin smiled and then said, "Alright, I’ll take care of this matter, just as I know some people in the County Department of Education, and I will definitely have him exposed."

Chen Yang nodded in response.

Involving governmental departments, no one is more suitable than Wu Kexin for such matters.

Entrusted to her, there will certainly be a satisfactory resolution.

"The matter is entrusted to Sister Kexin, then what about these three guys? Just let them go?" Yang Ruoxi asked again.

"Definitely can’t let them go."

Chen Yang decisively said: "These three are witness evidence; if we let them go, we might even be falsely accused, claiming it’s slander."

"Right, can’t let them go, they’re evidence."

Wu Kexin also nodded.

"Then what to do? We don’t have a place to watch over them." Yang Ruoxi continued.

Chen Yang chuckled and pulled out his phone: "That’s simple, let them stay at the station today, there’s plenty of room to keep an eye on them."

The three lying on the ground were originally silent during Chen Yang and others’ conversation.

But upon seeing Chen Yang pulling out his phone to call the police, they started to panic.

"Young brother... you said you wouldn’t call the police, and would give us one last chance." The three spoke anxiously.

Hearing this, Chen Yang’s hand paused for a moment, looking at the three with a smile, he said, "I did say I’d give you a chance, but I didn’t promise not to call the police! And don’t worry, once you’re inside, as long as you cooperate with the investigation and answer questions, it won’t be a big deal, you’ll be out in a few days at most."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yang ignored them and directly dialed the phone.
