Chapter 1421: Chapter 1417: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Because they just ntioned a na.
Brother Jing!
Chen Yang rembered this Brother Jing.
He was from the Bandit Village, once tried to partner up with him but was refused.
Back then, Chen Yang thought Brother Jing was just a simple gangster, but didn’t expect he also dabbled in building materials.
The price hike for raw materials targeting Liuhe Village was his idea.
“So it was him.”
After figuring it out, Chen Yang couldn’t help but find it funny.
Seems like anyone dares to take a shot at him.
“Chen Yang, have you figured out who’s causing the trouble behind the scenes?” Yang Ruoxi sat at the table, closely observing Chen Yang’s expression.
Her hearing wasn’t as good as Chen Yang’s, so she couldn’t clearly hear what was being discussed at the next table, and could only guess from Chen Yang’s expressions.
Hearing Yang Ruoxi’s words, Chen Yang nodded with a smile.
“Yes, I know who’s causing the trouble.”
“Oh? Who is it, let’s go give them trouble right now!” Upon knowing who it was, Yang Ruoxi imdiately wanted to confront them in anger.
She was quite upset this morning.
Absolutely despised that troublemaker behind the scenes who deliberately raised prices against Liuhe Village.
“Don’t rush.” Chen Yang reached out, signaling Yang Ruoxi to stay calm: “Let’s finish this al first, we’ll deal with the rest when we’re back in the village.”
“Alright then.” Yang Ruoxi, quite angry inside, didn’t say more, glared angrily at the next table, waited for their food, and then had lunch with Chen Yang.
After lunch, Chen Yang no longer paid attention to the guys at the next table.
He directly took Yang Ruoxi along with Dai Annie to pay the bill and left the restaurant, then drove the van back to Liuhe Village.
Upon returning to the village, the first thing Chen Yang did was visit the office and discuss the situation he learned today with Wu Kexin and Li Han.
He asked if they knew of anyone by that na.
Upon hearing the na Brother Jing, both Wu Kexin and Li Han shook their heads.
“Never heard of this person.”
“Never heard of him? Impossible, given how they were discussing, Brother Jing seems pretty influential; how could you not have heard of him?” Chen Yang was a bit surprised by Wu Kexin and Li Han’s reactions.
Considering the supply at the building material market, it seed Brother Jing’s business was indeed substantial.
But Wu Kexin and Li Han thought otherwise.
“Chen Yang, we really haven’t heard of him. I think Brother Jing might be doing well in business, but he’s probably a figure in the underworld, and we rarely deal with such people.” Wu Kexin said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang imdiately understood Wu Kexin’s implication.
She was saying that Brother Jing wasn’t significant enough for them to know.
Even if his building materials business was large, it was still insignificant compared to the vast Wu Family.
“Chen Yang, since he’s an underworld figure, maybe we need to approach this from the underworld’s perspective. This issue needs resolving or it will greatly impact our village’s project progress.” Li Han suggested from the side, indicating the need for an underworld approach to resolve this dilemma.
Chen Yang initially thought Brother Jing’s business was big enough to solve this through Li Han or Wu Kexin.
But now it seed he approached the wrong people.
Wu Kexin and Li Han had never even heard of such a person.
“Alright, I’ll think of a way to resolve it.” Chen Yang nodded in agreent.
The group then concluded the discussion; so returned to work, while others took a break on the sofa.
Chen Yang also lay on the sofa for a while.
After tossing and turning, pondering over the Brother Jing problem, an idea struck Chen Yang.
Perhaps he could resolve this issue through soone he knew.
With a solution in mind, Chen Yang didn’t waste a mont.
“Kexin, Li Han, I’m stepping out for a bit, call if any issues arise.” Chen Yang suddenly got up, announcing.
His sudden action montarily surprised the four won.
Initially, Li Han and Wu Kexin instinctively wanted to ask where he was going but guessed he was off to resolve the matter, so they didn’t ask further, rely smiled and reminded Chen Yang to be safe.
“Alright, I’ll head out then.”
Chen Yang nodded slightly, then quickly set off from the office.
He drove the van and headed back to the county city.
Forty minutes later, Chen Yang found himself in a private room at a luxurious business KTV in the county.
Fu Deren, who was partying inside the room, froze upon seeing Chen Yang suddenly appear.
After a few seconds of bewildernt, he finally reacted.
“Ch-Chen Yang, brother, what brings you here all of a sudden?” Fu Deren’s voice was a bit shaky.
He was genuinely afraid of Chen Yang; just seeing him trembled Fu Deren to the core, sensing sothing ominous.
“I have sothing to discuss with you.” Chen Yang said casually.
“Sothing to discuss?” Realizing Chen Yang wasn’t here looking for trouble, Fu Deren relaxed considerably, quickly turning to dismiss the underlings in the room.
“All of you, get out now, make the room quiet. No one is allowed in until I say so.” Fu Deren instructed loudly to the underlings engrossed in their party.
The underlings dared not cross Fu Deren, imdiately silenced the room and shuffled out sheepishly.
“Haha, brother Chen Yang, please sit, please sit.” Once they left, Fu Deren cheerfully invited Chen Yang to take a seat.
Chen Yang didn’t stand on ceremony, following Fu Deren’s guidance, he sat down on the sofa.
After sitting down, Fu Deren poured him a cup of expensive liquor, smiling: “Brother Chen Yang, I wanted to invite you for a al last ti but never got the chance, wasn’t expecting you to co by on your own. I wonder what I can assist you with.”
Fu Deren’s deanor was exceptionally polite, even to the point of being obsequious.
All grins and flattery, he didn’t dare show any other emotion.
Chen Yang wasn’t in the mood to bother with such formalities; he got straight to the point.
“Do you know soone in the building materials business nad Brother Jing?” Chen Yang asked directly.
“Brother Jing?” Fu Deren was initially stunned by Chen Yang’s inquiry, but after a couple of seconds, he nodded repeatedly: “I know him!”
“Do you understand him? Could you briefly tell about him? I’d like to know.” Chen Yang said lightly.
Hearing Chen Yang inquire about Brother Jing, Fu Deren felt sothing was off.
But he didn’t dare hide anything from Chen Yang, so he truthfully relayed all the information he knew.
From Fu Deren’s account, Chen Yang gained a rough understanding of the situation.
It turned out, this guy made his fortune through the underworld.
Using various underworld tactics, he monopolized the city’s building materials business, which is why he dared to be so audacious.
