Those people ultimately didn’t do much, they just placed Ji Yang on the bed and had Huang Qiuyu help him off with his coat and trousers, then covered him with a quilt.
They needed to reassess today’s events.
The room suddenly became quiet, which actually made Ji Yang somewhat uncomfortable, not having expected to become safe just like that.
Unsure of the situation outside, Ji Yang didn’t do anything; he just lay there thinking about these things.
Having only just arrived in Kuzhu Town, so many things had happened, which meant Ji Yang needed time to think things over properly.
What would tomorrow be like?
He had avoided trouble today, but it would be impossible to do the same tomorrow. When the time came, would he have to turn against them?
Ji Yang considered himself capable in a fight, but even so, what use was that when this was the Huang Family’s territory?
He had never encountered such a situation before, which made him feel somewhat at a loss.
Leaving quickly wasn’t an option either, as he had essentially walked into a den of thieves, and it was impossible that the other side wouldn’t take advantage of this opportunity to do something.
Time ticked away bit by bit; the entire place where he was staying quieted down, and nobody came to disturb him.
Ji Yang also didn’t know if there was still someone keeping surveillance on him. For more chapters visit NoveIꜰire.net
It was a pity that his satellite phone was in Secretary Ji’s hands.
Ji Yang knew that only landline phones could be used here; mobile phones simply wouldn’t work. Only those in the township offices had those types of landline phones, which was why, after learning about the local circumstances, he had brought a satellite phone with him.
That phone had been left with Su Zhiping, and now Ji Yang had no chance to use it.
While he was contemplating, Ji Yang’s heart twitched, and he felt someone stealthily approaching.
Ji Yang secretly observed and heightened his alertness.
Soon enough, the door to his room was pushed open, and he saw someone come in cautiously.
By the moonlight, Ji Yang realized with surprise that it was Chu Zhendong and asked, "Zhendong, why are you here?"
He knew Chu Zhendong hadn’t come with him and was clueless about how he had arrived.
Chu Zhendong was truly surprised. He had come over after receiving a phone call and even brought some people with him, not expecting Ji Yang to be sober, which was different from what he had been told.
"I’m awake. How did you get here?"
"It was Su Zhiping. He called me and asked me to bring people over quickly because you were in danger here."
This time, Ji Yang was the one caught off guard. He knew Su Zhiping had been drunk, and it surprised him that the latter would have someone make that call.
"Little Su is hiding outside; I snuck in to see what was happening to you."
Ji Yang realized that Su Zhiping had probably been feigning drunkenness and hadn’t truly passed out.
Initially, Ji Yang had his doubts about Su Zhiping, who seemed to get drunk immediately upon arrival and didn’t protect himself. Now, Ji Yang was impressed with Su Zhiping’s judgement. This incident revealed that Su Zhiping was observant, had identified the problem, and under the guise of being passed out, had secretly summoned Chu Zhendong and the others.
Ji Yang was unsure of what to do, but now with the arrival of Chu Zhendong and his group, the major issue was resolved.
"Are there any surveillance people here?"
"There are, but they’ve fallen asleep; they aren’t diligent."
"Let’s leave this place first."
Ji Yang naturally wanted to leave this location as quickly as possible.
