Chapter 174 - You're Stubborn

The next morning, Chen Yang rose early and quickly took care of the household chores, then collected all the mature wild mushrooms in the greenhouse, loaded them onto the truck.

“Nizi, I have some things to deal with today, so I might not be at home.

I’ll leave the house in your care,” Chen Yang said to Nizi before leaving.

Upon hearing this, Nizi immediately asked, “What is it, Brother Chen Yang?

Where are you going?”

Chen Yang thought for a moment, then replied, “There’s an issue at the breeding farm that I need to handle.”

“The breeding farm?”

Nizi blinked in confusion and quickly asked, “What happened to the breeding farm, Brother Chen Yang?

Is it a big problem?”

“Nothing serious, just needs some time,” Chen Yang said, waving his hand with a smile.

Seeing him respond like this, Nizi felt relieved.

She flashed Chen Yang a sweet smile and said, “Okay, then you better go sell those wild mushrooms, Brother Chen Yang.

I’ll take good care of the house for you.”

“Mhm, I’m off then.”

Chen Yang smiled back, then drove off on his electric tricycle.

After leaving his home, Chen Yang rushed to the River Fish Restaurant at top speed.

The proprietress was dressed as provocatively as ever, enough to make one’s throat go dry.

But today, Chen Yang wasn’t in the mood.

After delivering the wild mushrooms and settling the accounts, he hurriedly left.

Watching Chen Yang’s retreating figure from the doorway, Yang Caiyun felt uncomfortably unusual.

“How strange, he’s acting like a completely different person today?”

Usually, when Chen Yang came to deliver wild mushrooms, he would always manage to get a little extra for himself.

Today, his sudden seriousness left Yang Caiyun feeling somewhat empty.

After leaving the River Fish Restaurant, Chen Yang quickly rode his electric tricycle back home.

Upon returning, he set down his tricycle and rushed to the breeding farm, found a hidden corner, and began to wait.

Chen Yang sat in the bushes, checked the time on his phone, and muttered indignantly, “It’s only half past ten, still early.

I refuse to believe you can contain your curiosity and not come back to check the situation after poisoning.”

Chen Yang squatted in the thicket like this.

He ended up squatting there until after one o’clock in the afternoon.

During those three or four hours, he never once left the bushes.

However, his earnest vigilance was not in vain.

Around one, almost two o’clock, a youth who clearly didn’t look like a local walked from the direction of Shangshan Village towards Weed Slope.

The appearance of this person immediately caught Chen Yang’s attention.

As the man drew closer, Chen Yang’s inspection became clearer.

“Indeed, one of Fu Deren’s men!”

After examining the young man for a few glances, Chen Yang confirmed he was one of Fu Deren’s men.

He had been one of the underlings brought along yesterday when Fu Deren dropped by to make threats, and Chen Yang had some memory of him.

Once certain that the person approaching was one of Fu Deren’s underlings,

Chen Yang’s attention became fully focused on him,

Curious to see what the purpose of this guy showing up here right in the middle of the day was.

If it was Fu Deren who had poisoned the fish last night.

As the man drew nearer, his demeanor and the expressions on his face became so clear that Chen Yang could easily observe him.

He looked somehow panic-stricken, glancing around furtively as if guilty.

Only after confirming that there was no one around did he slowly approach Chen Yang’s breeding farm.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the farm, he started to loiter around it.

After several laps and noticing that the poison he had thrown in the night before had all disappeared,

a sinister smile spread across his face,

“Heh, opposing my Brother Ren is truly courting death.”

He scoffed and then turned to leave.

But just at that moment, a shadow burst out of the bushes and with a flying kick hit the young man square in the chest.

Thump!

Suddenly struck by the kick, the young man flew backward like a piece of paper, landing dozens of meters away.

He lay on the ground, his mind completely dazed.

But before he could regain his senses, the shadow swiftly closed in again, grabbing him by the throat.

He was like a little chick, picked up single-handedly by Chen Yang.

“You…

you are Chen Yang.”

After being lifted up, the young man finally got a clear view of Chen Yang’s face.

Instantly, his face turned deathly pale, and his body started to tremble uncontrollably.

“Heh, you recognize me?” Chen Yang sneered coldly, then interrogated, “So it was Fu Deren who sent you, huh?

Aside from poisoning, what other plans do you have?

Speak up!”

Chen Yang’s anger was uncontrollable.

He never imagined Fu Deren to be so treacherous as to have someone poison his breeding farm.

After confirming that the poison in the breeding farm was indeed laid by Fu Deren and his people, Chen Yang understood.

A schemer like Fu Deren wouldn’t just target his breeding farm.

There definitely would be other plans in store.

That’s why he had pressed the young man, demanding to know what they were preparing to do next.

The lackey was already panicked, and now being yelled at by Chen Yang, he was so frightened he nearly wet his pants.

Yet despite this, the young man was stubborn as a mule, refusing to admit to anything.

“Poisoning…

what are you talking about, I completely don’t understand,” he retorted.

Chen Yang sneered, “This is your last chance.

Spill everything you know, or I have ways to make you suffer.”

Looking at the cold smirk on Chen Yang’s face and remembering how Chen Yang had aggressively rushed out and kicked him dozens of meters away, he couldn’t help but shiver.

But thinking of Fu Deren’s usual modus operandi

Chilled him even more.

So he gritted his teeth and even threatened in return, “Chen Yang, I really don’t know what you’re talking about.

My elder brother is Fu Deren.

You’d better let me go, or my brother won’t let you off easily.”

“It seems you won’t cry until you see the coffin,” Chen Yang remarked, his expression turning stern as he pushed the man face-down to the ground.

“What are you trying to do!

You’d best let me go, or Brother Ren won’t let you get away with this.”

Suddenly pinned to the ground by Chen Yang, the young man was alarmed.

He began to shout in a panic.

He even tried to use Fu Deren’s name to intimidate Chen Yang.

But how could Chen Yang be frightened by Fu Deren?

If he was really afraid of Fu Deren, he would have given in when Fu Deren came to his door yesterday.

Why would he wait until now?

“So noisy.”

Chen Yang growled lowly, then grabbed the young man’s arm and yanked hard.

With a crack, the arm’s joint was dislocated.

“Ah!”

The young man let out a hysterical scream as his face twisted in agony.

“Will you talk or not?” Chen Yang asked coldly.

The young man was sweating profusely from the pain, but his mouth remained defiantly shut.

“I really don’t know what you’re talking about.

I advise you to let me go now, or you’re really going to be in big trouble!”

“Heh, I didn’t see that coming.

You’ve got quite the tough mouth, but no matter, I’ll make you talk,” Chen Yang sneered, then with another crack, he reset the dislocated part of the young man’s arm.

Even though the bone was reset, the pain was still intense.

The young man couldn’t bear it and screamed out in pain again.

But before he could say anything else, Chen Yang swiftly dislocated the young man’s arm again, then reset it.

He repeated this process dozens of times.

Several times, the young man nearly passed out from the pain.

But each time he was on the verge of losing consciousness, Chen Yang would let him rest briefly, allowing him to get used to the pain in his arm and stay awake.

After being tortured again and again, the young man was in so much pain he was nearly on the brink of a mental breakdown.

“Please, let me go, I will talk, I will say everything, just stop,” the young man begged frantically, sweating profusely and completely terrified.

Looking at the young man, drenched in sweat and twisted in pain, Chen Yang couldn’t help but find it amusing.

“Why must you be like this?

If you had just confessed earlier, wouldn’t that have been the end of it?” Chen Yang said with a laugh.

The young man’s face went ashen.

He knew Chen Yang was mocking him.

But he didn’t dare say more, frightened that it might anger Chen Yang and provoke another round of pain.
