Chen Yang didn’t answer directly but exchanged a glance with Wang Jingman and Li Sihai.
Then Li Sihai said to Li ngzi, "Li ngzi, if you confess honestly, it can help you earn so credit, but it’s not enough to absolve you completely, do you understand?"
"What? It can’t absolve completely? Uncle, we’re relatives, you can’t set up like this, only agreeing to let off by sending to jail?" Li ngzi cried, clearly anxious.
Li Sihai smiled at the word ’uncle.’
"Li ngzi, although you’ve been a bit of a bastard, it’s not to the extent that you’d end up in jail. I’m giving you a chance now, help us one more ti, and this matter won’t have anything to do with you."
"Exactly, it won’t just be unrelated; the assistance Li the village head promised you will be given to you as well!" Wang Jingman added from the side.
Twenty thousand yuan doesn’t an much to her, so she agreed to give it in order to make Li ngzi cooperate.
"Really?"
Upon hearing he could be absolved and receive money, Li ngzi imdiately showed great interest.
"We run such a big mining site here, do you think we can’t spare twenty thousand yuan? Since we said it, we will definitely give it." Wang Jingman emphasized.
"Alright, I’ll cooperate with you, I’ll definitely cooperate with you, just tell what you want to do, I’ll do whatever you say."
This Li ngzi is truly soone whose eyes light up at the sight of money.
He’s not very tempted by the idea of absolution, but when it cos to the promised assistance being fully given, he agreed right away.
A real odd one indeed.
Li Sihai was relieved then, seeing Li ngzi willing to cooperate.
If this guy wouldn’t cooperate, he would definitely be sent to the public security bureau, and jail ti would be inevitable.
"Chen Yang, how do you want to proceed, just say it, Li ngzi will coordinate with you," Li Sihai said to Chen Yang.
Chen Yang hadn’t said much till now, waiting for Li ngzi to agree before speaking.
"Li ngzi, according to their usual habits, they’ll co to your house tonight, right?" Chen Yang asked.
Li ngzi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, they’ll definitely co tonight, but I’m not sure about the exact ti."
"Alright then, I’ll co over to your house tonight, and we’ll wait together. You can just say I’m your cousin, how does that sound?"
It is now mostly confird for Chen Yang that the people coming to Li ngzi’s house to steal Spirit Stones via the tunnel are definitely cultivators.
So calling the police is useless; he needs to catch them red-handed himself and force out the mastermind.
"Sure, that sounds fine, but make sure not to get into a conflict that drags down with you. They co in groups of ten or twenty, all strong and well-built, we won’t stand a chance," Li ngzi agreed but expressed so concern.
"Don’t worry about that; I’ll ensure it doesn’t implicate you."
Chen Yang assured.
"Then there won’t be any problem; I’ll follow your lead," Li ngzi, hearing he wouldn’t be implicated, didn’t say anything more.
Soon after, Chen Yang also discussed and carefully crafted the plan for the night while still in the office.
Li ngzi was also part of it and cooperated very eagerly.
...
In the blink of an eye, evening arrived.
To make it believable, Chen Yang even packed a few bags from Li Sihai’s ho, pretending to visit relatives, and took them to Li ngzi’s house.
After dinner, he lay down with Li ngzi on the bed.
"Boss... Please make sure not to blow our cover, those guys seem pretty fierce, it’ll be trouble if we’re found," as the night darkened, Li ngzi started to feel a bit scared.
It seems those who co to mine make him really afraid.
"It’s you that shouldn’t blow the cover, alright? Keep calm and act as I’m your brother, got it?" Chen Yang remained calm, showing no unusual signs.
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Li ngzi nodded vigorously, though inside he still felt uneasy, he turned over, grabbed a cigarette from the bedside, and lit one to try calming himself.
The two stayed like this for about half an hour, around seven fifty no less.
There was movent outside.
Clearly, a lot of people were approaching the house.
Soon after, a knock on the door echoed.
Knock knock.
"Who’s there?"
Upon hearing the sound, Li ngzi quickly reacted, looking toward the door imdiately.
"Hey buddy, it’s , Old Fu."
A chuckle ca from outside, claiming to be Old Fu.
The ntion of this na made Chen Yang imdiately alert.
Because today Li ngzi confessed, the person communicating with him about tunneling here was indeed called Old Fu!
Chen Yang exchanged glances with Li ngzi, nodded, indicating him to open the door.
"Oh, oh, Old Fu, wait a mont, coming." Li ngzi swallowed hard, forced himself to calm his nerves, got off the bed, put on his shoes, and went to open the door.
"Hehe, Old Fu, you guys are here early tonight, haven’t co this early in a while." Li ngzi chuckled, opening the door.
Standing outside was a stout middle-aged man just over one-seventy ters tall, with a plump body and round face, looking quite amiable.
This was Old Fu.
"Haha, buddy, nothing going on in the village recently, is there?" Old Fu smilingly patted Li ngzi’s shoulder, asking amicably.
Li ngzi quickly shook his head, "Old Fu, I’ve been keeping an eye on the village, no problems at all. Besides, my place is so remote, no one really notices, you can relax."
"Good, today we also need to pay you, really appreciate it, buddy," Old Fu was very pleased with Li ngzi’s response, patting his shoulder, he walked in with a group of strong n.
Just as they entered, they imdiately noticed Chen Yang on the bed, their expressions changed drastically!
"Who’s this!"
Old Fu’s deanor suddenly turned aggressive, eyes glued to Chen Yang.
The strong n behind him also beca instantly alert.
"Old Fu, Old Fu, don’t get excited, I forgot to ntion to you, my cousin ca by today, this is my cousin, he’s one of us." Li ngzi closed the door quickly and rushed back to explain.
"Cousin?" Old Fu showed a suspicious look.
"Yes, cousin, he just arrived from elsewhere today, look, his luggage is still there." Li ngzi pointed to the corner where the bags were stacked.
Old Fu glanced in the direction Li ngzi pointed, indeed seeing the bags, his suspicious look eased a bit, but he still didn’t drop his guard.
"Buddy, I told you our business mustn’t be known by others, this isn’t right, is it?" Old Fu said with displeasure.
Li ngzi quickly apologized, "Old Fu, I’m really sorry, my cousin ca from far away, I couldn’t not provide him a place to stay right? I was planning on you guys arriving later, he would be asleep by then, not affecting anything, but I didn’t expect you guys to co so early today, truly sorry."
"Also you can rest assured, my cousin is honest, he won’t spill anything, and besides he’s leaving for sowhere soon, he won’t have the chance."
Li ngzi’s lies were quite convincing, sounding very real, leaving no loopholes.
His earlier nervousness was completely gone.
And his impeccable acting indeed worked, easing most of Old Fu’s suspicion.
His sharp eyes scanned Chen Yang on the bed a few tis but finding nothing unusual, ultimately trusted Li ngzi’s words, "Li ngzi, don’t let it happen again."
"Hehe, alright, Old Fu, rest assured this won’t happen again, I’ll definitely be careful next ti."
Seeing them dismissing their doubts, Li ngzi quickly reassured them.
