After meeting with Chu Zhendong, Ji Yang felt heavy-hearted; he hadn’t expected the situation here to be so complex, exceeding his own thoughts. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel⸺fire.net
Since he had arrived stealthily, Ji Yang also returned alone.
At this moment, Ji Yang needed to seriously consider, under these circumstances, how he should act appropriately.
If he were to use brute force, there was a high possibility he would end up dead here.
Naturally, Ji Yang did not wish for an event of his own killing to occur.
It seemed now that the stealthy approach he had adopted was correct; they wouldn’t resort to a fight to the death for the time being.
He had to continue in this fashion.
Bao Geishan and Gao Chonglin had been taken away; thus, Ji Yang was now facing Mo Chengguo and Liu Chenjiang, both of whom appeared to be even more dangerous.
Bao Geishan was an impulsive man, whereas Mo Chengguo was a very cautious one; he would not engage in rash actions.
There was still time, he could plan carefully.
Upon entering the government office, Ji Yang exhibited a very casual demeanor.
At that moment, Ji Yang was even holding some vegetables in his hand.
Everyone was somewhat astounded to see Ji Yang actually went out to buy vegetables.
"County Chief Ji, what is this?"
"I bought some vegetables to cook for myself."
"This..." Everyone didn’t know what to say, wondering if the food from the small canteen wasn’t good enough.
Ji Yang smiled and greeted everyone before entering his villa.
"What’s going on here?" As soon as he stepped in, Ji Yang noticed two beautiful women tidying up.
"Good day, County Chief Ji, we are the attendants of the guesthouse; our task is to clean for you every day. Did we disturb you?"
"I don’t need it here."
"County Chief Ji, this is our duty; all the villas have a cleaning task assigned to our guesthouse."
Ji Yang’s gaze flickered, obviously aware that they were making a move again, still arranging for people to serve him.
Ji Yang knew that even if he refused here, they would still arrange for it.
However, Ji Yang also knew that if he allowed them to stay, who knew what kind of trap might spring.
"Please leave. I am fully capable; just say I told you to do so," he said, his face growing stern.
The two women glanced at each other before heading out.
Intrusions everywhere!
Ji Yang had come to understand their tactics; they were continuously causing trouble, ultimately aiming to obtain leverage over him. Indeed, if they couldn’t get a hold of him through these means, they might just forcibly fabricate it.
Time waits for no one!
Now, Ji Yang truly grasped the extent of these people’s schemes.
After having his meal, Ji Yang sat pondering over matters.
Today’s reason for buying and cooking his own food was to signal everyone that he only went out to buy groceries, having done nothing suspect. Yet, this wasn’t enough; constantly on guard, when could he start working normally?
Thinking of reporting this to the higher-ups, he lacked evidence; unable to clearly articulate the situation.
It seemed he really had to deal with Mo Chengguo.
After learning from Chu Zhendong about Mo Chengguo’s control over the Political and Legal Committee, Ji Yang realized that whatever he did here was likely under Mo Chengguo’s surveillance.
The meeting with Chu Zhendong was arranged by Chu himself, probably not capturing their attention. But for next time?
Looking around the villa, Ji Yang felt no sense of security. He didn’t even know if there were cameras or other surveillance devices inside, and was even worried that he might wake up in the middle of the night to find a woman in his bed followed by her husband busting in to catch an adulterer.
It was quite possible!
With a setup from them, surrounded by their people, he would be presumed guilty even without committing any misdeed.
Lighting a cigarette and smoking, Ji Yang felt trapped within their snares, continually at risk of a potential incident.
Having never experienced anything , it was no wonder that few officials who arrived here left unscathed.
