MTLNOVEL Chapter 175: The Truth Revealed!
"Who... who are you?" The fact that the other person could directly call out his name made Chen Peng extremely nervous in an instant. As the lights in the room were turned on, three unfamiliar figures finally became clear.
But the sudden bright light was too much for Chen Peng's eyes to handle. He instinctively raised his arm to block it, becoming even more fearful.
Without saying a word, Jiang Feng stepped forward, grabbed Chen Peng, yanked him off the bed, pinned him to the ground, and asked, "What exactly is going on with Fengming Company's Guoguo Almonds?"
"What almonds? I don't know. You've got the wrong person!" Chen Peng denied vehemently.
Jiang Feng kicked him in the crotch, sending Chen Peng flying, face down to the ground!
Chen Peng let out a castrated-like cry, immediately losing feeling in his lower body. The deep pain left him hopeless. He knelt on the ground, hands clutching his crotch, eyes wide open and bloodshot, raising a trembling finger at Ye Kaiyang's nose, wanting to say something but unable to, only to bend over, hitting his head on the floor in agony.
"If you don't speak up, this is just the beginning." Jiang Feng strode over to Chen Peng.
Kong Xiang and Situ Yan were somewhat embarrassed. Jiang Feng was basically assaulting someone right in front of them, but there was nothing Kong Xiang could do about it. He knew now that Jiang Feng was not from the operation department, and even if he wanted to intervene, he couldn't stop him.
Moreover, on a personal level, Kong Xiang felt a kind of dark satisfaction seeing the harm-doer Chen Peng being treated like this. There's some truth to the saying "evil will be punished by evil."
Sure enough, Chen Peng, scared of being kicked by Jiang Feng again, immediately begged for mercy: "Don't... don't hit me! I'll talk!"
"Then speak up, and remember to tell the truth. If you dare lie by even a word, I'll make you regret coming into this world!" Jiang Feng looked down coldly at Chen Peng.
"Who are you from Fengming Group? I've never seen you!" Chen Peng grimaced, looking up to carefully scrutinize Jiang Feng's face, asking fearfully.
"I'm the new security guard at Fengming." Jiang Feng said expressionlessly.
So it turned out, the company's security came looking for him... Chen Peng forced a bitter smile!
However, Chen Peng couldn't understand how Fengming had employed such tough security guards. Weren't all of Fengming's guards supposed to be like Heizi...
Faced with Jiang Feng's intimidation, he could only spill everything he knew.
According to Chen Peng's confession, the person who bribed him was Han Lengxuan from the Han Family!
After the incident at the Beach Bathing Place, Han Lengxuan bore a grudge against Jiang Feng. Unable to wait any longer for his second uncle to make a move, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
In addition, Han Lengxuan's obsession with Nangong Qingcheng grew into hatred when he couldn't win her over, leading him to target Fengming Company, meticulously built by Nangong Qingcheng.
Through Feng Na, he contacted Chen Peng and struck a deal with him: Chen Peng would switch the shipment of Guoguo Almonds bound for Fengming, replacing the good almonds and inserting poisoned ones, all without a trace.
Of course, the reward was a substantial three million, more than enough to let someone like Chen Peng live comfortably for half a lifetime.
"That's how it is. It's really Han Lengxuan from the Han Family who made me do it. I needed the money, and he offered me three million. I had no reason to refuse..." Chen Peng spoke bitterly.
"So it was the Han Family after all!" Jiang Feng narrowed his eyes.
After the incident, he had speculated about a few possible masterminds, and the Han Family was indeed one of them.
Now that the truth was revealed, Han Lengxuan proved to be quite insidious, resorting to such low tactics against Fengming!
"Mr. Jiang, Chief Situ, now that Chen Peng has confessed, as for how to deal with the Han Family, there's not much help I can offer. However, I need to take Chen Peng back to close the case on our side first." Kong Xiang addressed Jiang Feng and Situ Yan: "I will provide you with his recorded confession. If necessary, I can request my superior to have him testify, to help bring Han Lengxuan to justice."
At this moment, Kong Xiang felt very thankful to Jiang Feng, as without him, this case spanning two provinces wouldn't have been solved in such a short time.
"Alright." Situ Yan understood it was procedural, and she couldn't interfere. Besides, with the truth known and the Han Family revealed as the culprits, the trip to Su City wasn't in vain.
"You two, my higher-ups are waiting for my report. Since the case is closed, I need to report back, and people will likely be dispatched soon. To avoid unnecessary trouble, would you prefer to step aside for a bit?" Kong Xiang discreetly pulled Jiang Feng and Situ Yan aside, saying politely.
Jiang Feng knew well that after the kick he gave Chen Peng, it wasn't good for him to stay here.
"Alright, we'll step aside for now. Reach out if anything comes up." Situ Yan nodded.
They planned to head back to Binhai the next day, but it was too late now. There were no vehicles to take them back, so they had no choice but to find a nearby hotel to stay for the night.
Standing in front of a hotel not far away, Situ Yan suddenly felt a bit awkward, as if she was checking in with Jiang Feng.
She stole a glance at Jiang Feng, seeing him calm and collected without any strange thoughts, she chastised herself internally, "worrying for nothing!"
Then, she walked in confidently, pretending to be calm.
The hotel wasn't large, just the size of a regular lodging facility, but in Mu County, it was relatively good. At this moment, a young female service staff member was flipping through the registration book.
Seeing Situ Yan and Jiang Feng come in, the service staff naturally said, "You're just in time; we have the last room. If you had come any later, there wouldn't be any left!"
Situ Yan was taken aback, thinking, "Only one room left, how is that just in time?"
Her face showed a hint of discomfort: "Then forget it, we'll look somewhere else!"
"Oh, miss, you're not satisfied with our hotel? This is the best in all of Mu County. Also, at this hour, all the hotels in town are fully booked. It'll be the same wherever you go!" the service staff explained, seeing that Situ Yan was from out of town.
Jiang Feng thought for a second and said, "You stay here tonight; I'll go find somewhere else."
"No need! We'll take this room!" Situ Yan's cheeks turned bright red, but how could she let Jiang Feng go out alone?
She steeled herself, paid for the room, took the key, and then the service staff generously took out an extra item and placed it on the table, smiling ambiguously at Situ Yan: "A little extra for you, just to be safe."
Curious, Situ Yan picked it up and turned even redder, realizing it was... a box of condoms!!
