Chapter 306: Culprit
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing the name Young Master Zheng, the figure of the buzz-cut man he had met in the Medicine King Valley immediately came to mind.
Ah! So it was that kid from the Martial Arts Department!
In that case, it made sense as to why the Xia family was powerless to deal with this matter. Stirring up trouble like this would be a simple matter for the Martial Arts Department.
Ye Chen’s lips curled into a cold smile as his gaze fell on the crowd. Having seen what happened to the man, the crowd subconsciously took a few steps back, as did the reporters.
Well, these people were mere pawns, but it would not be hard to get some information from these people. At the very least, it would be enough to exonerate the group of any wrongdoing.
Ye Chen immediately dialed Lei Shuwei’s number.
“You should have seen the news.”
Lei Shuwei replied, “Mr. Ye, I’ve already sent people over. The troublemakers will be isolated and investigated.””
Before the call even ended, Ye Chen spotted a few cars with special license plates arriving. Soon, the members of Dragon Soul reached the crowd.
The one in the lead was actually Ying Qing.
When the crowd noticed that there were suddenly people surrounding them, they panicked. The reporters also tried to flee, but were quickly apprehended.
“Come with us.”
Gulp!
The reporters looked at each other fearfully, but one of them mustered up the courage to say, “Who knows if your identification is even real…”
“Hmph!”
The Dragon Soul soldier snorted coldly.
“That’s not for you to question or decide!”
Seeing how overbearing these soldiers were, everyone was taken aback. They had never imagined that things would end up like this.
They had only received some money and came here to kick up a fuss. Was there a need to arrest them?
A few of the aunties who had been cursing the most were completely flustered. They did not want to go to jail, and they did not want to give up their lives here for tens of thousands of yuan.
Plop!
They knelt on the ground and begged Ying Qing and the others,
“I… 1 really didn’t commit any crimes. Please don’t take us away. I still have to pick up my grandson later…”
Ying Qing glanced at Ye Chen. Seeing no reaction from him, he coldly said, “No matter who it is, take them all away. Until the investigation is complete, no one is to be released.
The moment Ying Qing gave the order, everyone wailed and screamed.
These people were greedy for money, but they had no idea what mess they had gotten themselves into.
A few minutes later, the scene quieted down.
After taking everyone away, Ying Qing went straight to Ye Chen.
“Mr. Ye, these people were probably just paid to do this. The results of the investigation will be out in an hour. I’ll sort out the details and send it to your phone.”
“Also, considering the impact these people have on Mr. Ye and Heavenly Justice Group, we will deal with them severely.”
Ye Chen nodded and patted Ying Qing on the shoulder.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Ying Qing shook his head and replied, “I’m always at your service, Mr. Ye.”
“Also, although there are traces of the Martial Arts Department’s involvement in this matter, it’s definitely not the work of the higher-ups. This kind of low-level defamation tactics should be the work of a junior.”
“According to Dragon Soul’s preliminary investigation, it’s most likely Zheng Renjue’s son, Zheng Yi, and traces of his involvement in this matter are highly suspicious.”
“Of course, all of this is just our speculation. We don’t have any evidence yet.”
Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed coldly. He said calmly, “There’s no need for evidence. It’s him for sure! Now I kind of regret not killing him back then.”
Hearing this, Ying Qing’s expression changed drastically and he hurriedly said, “Mr. Ye, Zheng Yi’s identity is special. It’s fine to teach him a lesson, but if we kill him, Zheng Renjue will definitely be furious… Please reconsider.”
Ye Chen did not reply. Instead, he walked over to Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi.
Xia Ruoxue was using a napkin to wipe the icky egg liquid off Sun Yi’s face and hair. When Sun Yi looked up and saw Ye Chen walking toward her, she quickly turned around.
“Little Chen, don’t come over. I’m a mess right now.”
Ye Chen smiled and took out a tissue to help wipe off some of the egg from Sun Yi’s ear.
He cleared his voice and said, “This is all my fault. I’m the owner of the Heavenly Justice Group, so if something happens, 1 should be at the receiving end of these insults and brickbats. Instead, you suffered in my stead.”
Ye Chen’s tone was full of heartache.
“Why don’t 1 give you ten eggs when we get back to Mingcui Villa later so that you can throw them at me to vent your anger?”
Sun Yi snorted when she heard that, and she laughed.
“Those ten eggs can make two cakes. It’s such a waste to throw them at you.”
Xia Ruoxue suddenly thought of something and said to Sun Yi, “Ah, we haven’t finished baking yet…”
Sun Yi sighed.
“There’s definitely no time to do it today. Everything is a mess now, so we have to get things under control first. The crowd has been dealt with, but those people in the hospital…”
Ye Chen asked, “Have you checked the patients? Are the doctors certain that it was caused by our products?”
Xia Ruoxue explained, “Not really. The main problem is that the people who took our products are the ones who are hospitalized. Also, I just received a call from the hospital. The cause of the disease has yet to be determined, but it shouldn’t have been caused by our products.”
“Rather, the condition of those patients is very strange. It almost seems like what happened to my grandmother…”
At this moment, Ye Chen was completely enlightened.
Zheng Yi must have asked the Martial Arts Department’s experts to take action.
‘Zheng Yi, it seems like the lesson you learned earlier wasn’t enough.. So what if you have Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department behind you? If you offend me, I’ll make you experience despair!’
