He Feng had arrived along with some leaders from the county.
Now, everyone had a rough understanding of the situation but were mostly unclear about what exactly had happened.
When everyone arrived, Ji Yang had come out to greet them, draped in his clothes.
All eyes were fixed on Ji Yang.
Ji Yang displayed a bewildered expression.
He Feng looked towards the villa and asked, "Did you sleep here last night?"
"Yes, I woke up to find myself on the couch."
When everyone looked at the couch, they found some vomit on the ground, presumably Ji Yang’s.
"Where is Bao Geishan?"
"I don’t know, I only got up after receiving your call. Everyone was too enthusiastic last night, and I drank a bit too much."
The leaders accompanying them thought to themselves that it wasn’t just a bit too much, it was way too much.
Gao Chonglin, clearly still intoxicated, then asked, "Are Bao Geishan and the others inside?"
"Let’s go in and check," He Feng suggested.
Everyone walked inside.
Then, they discovered clothes scattered from here up to the upstairs, but it seemed none belonged to Ji Yang, who was still wearing the same clothes as the day before.
Mo Chengguo appeared troubled; he had been involved in the whole scheme and believed that with his people outside and Bao Geishan handling things inside, there shouldn’t be any issues. He too had drunk too much last night and felt a throbbing pain in his head now. He had a feeling that something had indeed gone wrong.
Then, they found many women’s clothes in the upstairs bedroom.
Upon opening the door, they were confronted with an appalling scene—several women were still entangled with Bao Geishan, who was fast asleep.
He Feng, and the several members of the committee who had arrived with him, were astounded by the sight.
Ji Yang also showed a shocked expression observing everything inside.
One of the committee members pointed to a hidden spot, "Minister He, there’s a camera there."
When He Feng looked, he indeed spotted a camera placed discreetly.
Though hidden, it was still visible.
"And there’s a phone over there."
They then noticed the phone that belonged to Jiang Fei.
He Feng now felt overwhelmed. He quickly took out his smartphone, filmed, and recorded the scene.
He knew that with these events, it was beyond his ability to resolve alone; evidence needed to be preserved, or else nothing could be clearly explained.
Seeing Mo Chengguo reaching for the camera, He Feng said, "We must secure these pieces of evidence."
Mo Chengguo swiftly glanced at Ji Yang standing there and suggested, "Since everyone is here, I think we should first check the content on the camera."
Ji Yang immediately understood; Mo Chengguo had his own agenda, probably suspecting that Ji Yang might have been recorded too. With Bao Geishan compromised, if they could also topple Ji Yang, the new county chief, they still held hope.
Liu Chenjiang, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, said, "I think Old Mo’s suggestion is good. While everyone is here, let’s watch the contents together."
Everyone also glanced towards Bao Geishan, his posture far too audacious for the eyes.
He Feng also took a glance at Ji Yang, unsure if Ji Yang would get caught up in this mess.
With the incident involving Bao Geishan, even if he had protective backing, he would likely be abandoned. Thus, everyone’s aim was probably to bring down Ji Yang, the new county chief.
Faced with this, He Feng truly had no solutions.
Seeing that He Feng remained silent, Liu Chenjiang started playing the recorded content.
Everyone crowded to watch.
Watching, they found it even more eye-watering; Bao Geishan and those women’s actions were excessively rampant.
Ji Yang was nowhere in the video.
Everyone had reached their positions through cunning, and it didn’t take them long to deduce what had happened; Bao Geishan had probably prepared to record Ji Yang with those women in a scandal, planning to blackmail him or topple him with it. Ji Yang wouldn’t escape their stratagems, but somehow, Ji Yang had turned the tables on them. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI(F)ire.net
This new county chief was formidable; even though it was known he was involved, there was no proof to pin on him.
He Feng also looked at Ji Yang, showing a hangover expression, still puzzled about how Ji Yang had managed to involve Bao Geishan.
Jiang Fei’s phone was turned on and, indeed, it was live-streaming until the site had closed the account.
The leaders of Chunshui County were somewhat dazed. They had intended to deal with Ji Yang, yet such an incident had occurred, now known by the whole nation, impossible to cover up.
