Chapter 1062: Chapter 1058: Accountant Wu

Just as Chen Yang was trying to figure things out, someone suddenly walked out from inside.

The head chef from the kitchen, Wang De!

"Wang De!"

Seeing Wang De, Chen Yang immediately called out.

Wang De looked dejected, but hearing Chen Yang’s voice revived his spirits, and he raised his head.

"Chen... Mr. Chen, Miss Yang, why are you here?" Wang De hastened his pace and came out.

He was stopped by the police at the entrance.

"I’ve already been questioned and released because I wasn’t suspected." Wang De explained, and the police let him out.

"I came to see how things are, come with me, I have something to ask you."

Knowing he couldn’t go in, Chen Yang didn’t force his way but instead took Yang Ruoxi and led Wang De to a secluded part of the hotel backyard to start asking questions.

Wang De, being the head chef, knew the kitchen like no one else.

"Wang De, with such a big incident happening at the hotel, have you thought about the source?" Arriving at the corner, Chen Yang was straightforward.

Wang De looked full of distress.

He knew there was a problem with him in this matter, which was why he felt this way.

"Mr. Chen, I know I embarrassed the hotel and didn’t do a good job, which led to such a situation." Wang De started with an apology, clearly filled with remorse.

Actually, Chen Yang didn’t blame Wang De much because he’d seen the surveillance, and there was nothing unusual in the entire kitchen.

And Wang De isn’t a completely omniscient being; how could he detect something as subtle as poisoning?

"No worries, this incident mainly isn’t your responsibility. I came to you with no other intentions, just to understand the situation better. You’ve seen it; unless we get to the bottom of this, the hotel might face closure."

Chen Yang patted Wang De’s shoulder to ease his distress.

When Wang De heard Chen Yang say this, his expression didn’t change much, but he felt a bit relieved.

"Mr. Chen, to be honest, I’ve been thinking about where the problem could be since the incident, but I simply can’t figure it out; I haven’t seen anything unusual," Wang De said bitterly as he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

"I’ve already reviewed the hotel’s surveillance, and the problem isn’t in the kitchen," Chen Yang said.

"Not in the kitchen? Then where is it?" Wang De perked up immediately upon hearing the problem wasn’t in the kitchen, his eyes eagerly awaiting Chen Yang’s answer.

"I feel the problem lies in the procurement. I remember you used to be responsible for the hotel’s purchasing, which is why I came to you." Chen Yang expressed his views.

Wang De’s first reaction was disbelief!

"Impossible! Our hotel suppliers are long-term partners! How could this kind of situation occur?" Wang De replied confidently.

He added, "Also, Mr. Chen, the procurement is no longer my responsibility; it’s managed by the hotel’s accountant."

"Accountant? Does he also purchase from suppliers?"

Chen Yang grasped the point and immediately asked.

Wang De nodded, "Of course, if not from suppliers, then where else would the purchases come from?"

Chen Yang had come to Wang De, knowing he was in charge of purchasing.

Now hearing he wasn’t responsible anymore, Chen Yang didn’t pursue further.

"Alright then, that’s all."

Chen Yang waved his hand, pulling Yang Ruoxi as they left the backyard.

At this moment, Yang Ruoxi’s eyes reddened again. She had been busy for nearly two hours without a clue.

She truly worried that if nothing was discovered in the investigation, Li Han would take the fall.

Seeing the redness in Yang Ruoxi’s eyes, Chen Yang felt discomfort in his heart, pausing to console her, "Ruoxi, don’t worry too much. With such a significant event, there surely will be leads. Trust me."

Chen Yang looked steadily at Yang Ruoxi.

Yang Ruoxi burst into tears, throwing herself into Chen Yang’s arms.

"Chen Yang, you must find the real culprit; my sister mustn’t face any issues," Yang Ruoxi sobbed.

Chen Yang felt deeply troubled but was equally resolute.

The real culprit behind the poisoning must be caught no matter what.

"Yes, rest assured, I will definitely find the problem. Don’t worry," Chen Yang once more gently reassured Yang Ruoxi.

After Yang Ruoxi’s emotions settled, Chen Yang took her upstairs to find the hotel’s accountant.

The accountant had their own dedicated office.

Since he didn’t see the accountant in the lobby, Chen Yang went to the second floor to search.

Chen Yang led Yang Ruoxi to the accountant’s office door, hesitated, then chose not to knock but pushed the door open directly.

The moment the door opened, the bespectacled, tall and thin middle-aged accountant inside was startled.

Nearly jumped out of his chair.

"Chen... Mr. Chen, Miss Yang, why have you suddenly come to my office without knocking, startled me," the accountant forced a natural smile, proactively speaking to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang observed the guy appearing guilty and already felt suspicious.

But he didn’t directly confront him.

Instead, he decided to probe casually to test the waters.

"What? Did we interrupt your work?"

"No, no... Of course not, please sit, I’ll pour you some tea," the accountant laughed, sounding two chuckles before immediately coming from his workstation, heading to the water dispenser to prepare tea.

Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi comfortably seated themselves on the office sofa.

"Mr. Wu, you’ve heard about the incident at the hotel today, right?" Chen Yang sat down immediately, trying to casually open up a conversation.

The accountant, hearing this, visibly trembled a bit.

If previous unease from their entrance was just nerves, then this reaction almost confirmed things for Chen Yang.

Today’s hotel incident must have connections to him.

"Uh... heard, heard about it, it’s quite serious, after such a huge situation, I think the kitchen needs strict scrutiny, after all, the kitchen is the most likely place for these things," Accountant Wu paused for several seconds before answering Chen Yang.

Meanwhile, he placed the tea on the table between Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi.

Chen Yang didn’t rush to drink, instead coldly chuckled, "With such a significant matter, of course, the kitchen must be scrutinized, but after half a day, no problem appeared there."

Upon hearing this, Accountant Wu’s eyes shifted quickly, then feigned ignorance, "No issues in the kitchen, where else might the problems emerge? Surely not elsewhere."

Seeing Accountant Wu still performing theatrics and pretending ignorance, Chen Yang couldn’t help but give him a nudge.

"Certainly somewhere else and Mr. Wu, you should be very familiar with this place." After saying this, Chen Yang smiled and sipped the tea.

Upon hearing these words, Accountant Wu’s body shivered violently.

His forehead quickly beaded with sweat.

That panicked expression could no longer be concealed!
