Chapter 1063: Chapter 1059: Someone Else Involved

"You still won’t come clean! Do we have to call the police for you to speak the truth? By then, I’m afraid you won’t escape having to eat state meals!" Seeing Wu the Accountant’s panicked expression, Yang Ruoxi lost all patience.

She directly scolded Wu the Accountant, demanding him to confess properly.

Wu the Accountant was already extremely nervous, and being scolded by Yang Ruoxi like this made him tremble all over in fear.

His mental defenses were completely broken, and he started confessing tearfully on the spot.

"Miss Yang, Boss Chen, I’m being framed! I never intended to drug the hotel, I just wanted to get a small advantage, I truly had no other intentions!" Wu the Accountant cried out loudly.

Hearing this, Chen Yang and Yang Ruoxi’s eyes lit up simultaneously.

The two of them suspected Wu the Accountant just because they sensed something was off with his emotions, it was only a guess.

Now hearing him say this, they could basically confirm that the poisoning incident was indeed due to Wu the Accountant.

"A small advantage? You better confess the whole matter honestly. If you have no direct involvement, leniency is still possible. If you don’t confess and it gets discovered, it will be severe, with hundreds poisoned, you might never get out of jail in this lifetime." Seeing Wu the Accountant crumble, Chen Yang immediately pressed on, continuing his questioning.

Wu the Accountant was truly terrified, hearing the serious consequences as mentioned by Chen Yang, he immediately explained everything in detail.

Originally, to get a cheaper deal, he didn’t buy from the usual supplier.

Instead, he did business with a stranger, a vendor, which led to the poisoning incident.

"In the beginning, when that vegetable vendor approached me, I only bought a small amount from him, but later I noticed there was nothing unusual in the kitchen, so I started purchasing large quantities from him."

"I bought all the ingredients for the medicinal dishes from him..."

Wu the Accountant stuttered as he confessed his actions.

After listening, Chen Yang immediately asked, "Then how did you know that today’s poisoning was due to your supply channels? Did you know all along that the ingredients were poisoned?"

"No, no, no... I was unaware, Boss Chen. It was only after I went to check and discovered that only those who ate the medicinal dishes got poisoned that I suspected it. Now that you’ve come to question me, doesn’t this confirm that the problem lies with me?" Wu the Accountant shook his head repeatedly, deeply fearing a heavier responsibility.

After hearing Wu the Accountant’s full confession, Chen Yang understood.

The vendor Wu the Accountant mentioned had a very high suspicion!

There’s a 99% likelihood that it’s him!

"You wretched man, my sister trusts you so much, entrusting all of the hotel’s accounts to you, yet you do something like this. How could you betray my sister?" After hearing Wu the Accountant’s confession, Yang Ruoxi was furious.

She pointed at Wu the Accountant and accused him.

Feeling both guilty and scared, Wu the Accountant hurriedly knelt before Chen Yang and Wu Kexin.

"Oh, Miss Yang, I know it was wrong of me. I betrayed President Li’s trust, but I really didn’t expect things to turn out this way."

"If I had known it would end like this, I wouldn’t have dared to seek that small gain no matter what."

Kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes, Wu the Accountant’s face was filled with regret.

Chen Yang, seeing his expression, didn’t think he was lying; it seemed he was truly remorseful.

So his words were credible, he merely sought a small advantage and was thus exploited.

Yang Ruoxi, very angry, didn’t plan on forgiving Wu the Accountant and dragged him out to see the police.

"Come, you’re going with me to the police, clear my sister’s name, you’re responsible for all this." Yang Ruoxi said angrily.

"Oh, Miss Yang, I know I was wrong, but you can’t entirely blame me for the drugging, I truly didn’t know about it." Wu the Accountant dared not go with Yang Ruoxi to the police, struggling frantically on his knees, refusing to go no matter what.

At this moment, Chen Yang stood up to stop Yang Ruoxi.

"Ruoxi, let him go. Even if you take him to the police, they won’t release Li Han." Chen Yang said calmly.

Yang Ruoxi was very surprised: "Why not? He can prove that this has nothing to do with my sister, so why can’t they let her go?"

"Because he is not the real perpetrator of the poisoning, and secondly, he is also an employee of Lin Tianxia. As the hotel’s legal representative, Li Han still cannot be released." Chen Yang said calmly.

Yang Ruoxi thought Li Han had hope of being saved and felt very excited.

But hearing Chen Yang’s words, she immediately plummeted into despair.

"Then... what should we do?" Yang Ruoxi looked at Chen Yang expectantly, hoping he had another solution.

Chen Yang paused for a moment, then without answering Yang Ruoxi, he directly approached the panic-stricken Wu the Accountant.

"Wu the Accountant, you committed a serious mistake. Although you’re unaware of the poison in the herbs, in a way, you are an accomplice." Chen Yang analyzed Wu the Accountant’s actions to determine their nature.

And Wu the Accountant himself was already aware of the accusation of being an accomplice.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be this scared and flustered.

Before he could speak, Chen Yang continued, "However, there’s currently an opportunity to atone for your sins. If you seize it, it can save you a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Wu the Accountant immediately pleaded by Chen Yang’s feet.

Clutching Chen Yang’s leg, he implored, "Boss Chen, I’m also very remorseful about this, rest assured, if there’s a chance, I’ll definitely seize it! I’ll perform well."

"Good."

Chen Yang crouched down and made eye contact with the panicking Wu the Accountant: "Since you’ve been dealing with that vendor for some time, you should have some understanding of him, right? You just need to lead us to him, and that will count as atoning for your sins. By then, seeking leniency shouldn’t be a big issue."

Chen Yang’s words immediately enlightened Wu the Accountant as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, waking him up.

"Yes, yes, yes, helping you find the real poisoner will be a merit for me! Atoning for my sins!" Wu the Accountant agreed without hesitation, as if he had grabbed a lifeline.

"Boss Chen, I don’t know much about that person, but I know he usually buys vegetables at that market. We can definitely find him there!" Wu the Accountant stood up suddenly, as if reborn.

Chen Yang smiled faintly, "Alright, let’s go, you lead the way."

Chen Yang, accompanied by Wu the Accountant and Yang Ruoxi, left the accounting office.

Without rushing to set off, Chen Yang first went to the hall where the incident occurred.

Upon inspection, he found, as Wu the Accountant said, all the medicinal dishes in the hall were indeed poisoned.

Further observation showed that the poisons had been left on the herbs before cooking.

So, it was now almost certain that the poisoner was indeed the vendor Wu the Accountant mentioned.

Armed with this understanding, Chen Yang wasted no time and immediately set off with Yang Ruoxi and Wu the Accountant.
